Brown, Finance Director The Council met on April 10, 1979 and again on April 24, 1979, and discussed the report submitted to Council from the Mayor's Committee on Airport Lands. Primarily, the items discussed were the recommendations made by the committee, as they appear in Part VI of that report. Preliminary conclusions drawn at these meetings are as follows; 1) The Council should ask for release of all FAA lands previously deeded to the City. Lands desi§nated as aeronautical lands by the Airport }~ster Plan should ha released for lease only. Lands designated as non- aeronautical should be released for lease or sale. 2) Existing lessees of non-aeronautical lands should have the opportunity to purchase the land upon which they have a lease at fair market value, to be determined by appraisal. If they choose not to purchase, they may continue leasing andtheland-will.not.be-offered for sale to a third party. The City may offer non-aeronautical lands for sale. Two sale situations are recognized: (a) A party approaches the City and. desires a particular piece of property for development and requests either lease or sale. This party may either apply for a lease or apply to purchase the property at fair market value, to be determined by appraisal, and ' (b) The Council desires that, to raise revenue or some other purpose, a particular piece of property should be sold. It could then be held for auctio~ and sold at the highest bid. However, Council would have the option of rejecting all bfd~ if none approximated fai~market value. Proceeds of Airport Land sales would be deposited in ~ separate bank account within the Airport Land System Fund apart from the City's Cgntral Treasury Fund. Interest earned on this account would be credited to the account. Monies in the account, exclusive of interest earnings, could be used only for Capital Improvements which are eligible for A.D.A.P. funding. Contributions to the Airport Terminal Fund for improvements which otherwise qualify would be allowed. Interest earnings held in the account could be used for maintenance and operation of the Airport Land System, or as otherwise: authorized by the City Council, but within the Land System Fund. · II · Hay 1, 1979 }~IOIb~NDUM CONCEP~N1NG AIRPORT LAND SALES 6) 7) The City will not finance sales in any way. A potential lessee or buyer may be granted an option to lease or buy for a period up to six (6) months, renewable one time for another period of up to six (6) months. The cost of the option shall be six (6) percent of appraised or estimated value (as an annual cost) prorated according to the length of the option. If a potential buyer then purchases land upon which he is holding an option, all payments for the option shall be credited against the sales price. As a pilot project, the City shall proceed with the auction and sale of certain airport lands located at the Spur Highway and Beaver Loop Extended. It is the Council's intent to use some of the proceeds to renovate the north end of the Terminal Building. ' 1T~1-1 I II COUNCIL MBBTING OF ..... / ; . · ,,, - [-,, -, , ,, / /. / / /
