3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDUL~.D TO B_~ N~.a. RD
a. Major Gary Hunt, Commander CAP
Major Hunt noted the CAP has a Beaver airplane parked at the
float basin. In the past the CAP has not paid rent on the space.
Due to a small budget the CAP cannot afford to rent the space,
however they do not wish to leave the plane in an unsecured
basin. He asked if the CAP could use the space for free, and if
the basin fills up they would have the option to rent the space
at a reduced rate.
Randy Ernst said, the way it stands, he does not consider the CAP
any different than a private citizen. Ernst said they had
originally paid for the slip, and he had no authority to issue
free permits. The misunderstanding has happened because he has
requested payment several times, and when the CAP did not
respond, Ernst did not follow up on the requests for payment.
This may have been perceived by the CAP as a rent free agreement.
Bob Scott asked if the CAP could be given a special use tie-down
permit?
Ernst noted someone at the CAP would need to sign off on the
permit because it addresses liability, etc.
