Comments included: · Suggested change to Appendix A' First paragraph, Page 5 -- change the word "limit" as it could place the city in a difficult position. Change to "lease to the extent practical." Extensive discussion followed during which concerns were expressed the suggested new wording would be more limiting. · Suggested removal of the word "limit." · Reference was made to comments of the consultant related to their contractual responsibility to make recommendations for land uses and financial management polices for all airport properties, including lands not needed for aviation purposes. · Past experience was noted as leased property was more.apt to be left vacant, get behind in lease payments and taxes. The tenant is more apt to take care of the property if it is purchased. Suggested the city/airport be able to buy back property. Suggested the city attorney be consulted as to use of the word "limit"-- would it actually bind the cOuncil.
