Resolution 2020-55 -Rent Relief Measures due to State Closures
The purpose of this memo is to request approval to provide rent relief to the Airport bar and
restaurant due to the State mandate requiring closures from March 18, 2020 to May 8 , 2020 .
City Administration is aware of the financial loss associated with the COVID-19 crisis and
understands the closures were a direct result of State issued health mandates.
I have been in discussions with the Federal Aviation Administration and they are in support of rent
relief.
Thank you for your consideration.
