Tenants press board over steep hangar increases; county says new billing system will handle deposits
Summary
Tenants voiced frustration at steep hangar rent increases and requested that rate increases not hit all tenants the same; county staff said the clerk's new billing system (going live Aug. 25) will allow online payments, autopay and a waiting-list deposit function.
Hangar tenants raised concerns about recent and upcoming rent increases and about how compliance mailings were sent.
Michael Sufer and other tenants said some hangar rents have climbed by about $80 this year and will next year, and questioned why all hangars were charged the same rate despite differences in size and condition. Several tenants said a recent compliance letter arrived via certified mail with a $6.37 charge and asked whether postage came out of hangar funds; staff clarified certified postage was not charged to the Peter Prince fund. One tenant said delay or inaccessibility to the new billing system had caused payment issues for some renters.
Jared said the county clerk’s office is launching a new billing system (target date Aug. 25) that the county hopes to use for hangar rents and waiting-list deposits; the clerk’s system will allow credit-card payments, autopay and digital receipts. "That system will be live in the next week," Jared said, adding staff will provide details and an opt-in for digital receipts.
