specifically to use the first sentence of the paragraph (Use of Subject Property) in the
current lease.

Discussion on whether the Airport Manager has the discretion to designate a take -off
area for helicopter operation.
John Anderson recommended that language specific to helicopters not be added to
individual leases, as it may open the Airport to a discrimination complaint. A better
choice would be to have an Airport policy on helicopter operations.
Rick Fereday made a motion to approve the lease assignment from Gerblick to Viehweg.
Marc Thorien seconded the motion, motion passes. The Committee recommends that
City Council approve the lease assignment.

review appraisal and make decision. The dollar amounts will remain confidential for

with the negotiator, Chuck Winder, to close the deal. John Anderson stated that the
FAA's position is to buy all the land the City can. The City is concerned with matching
funds.
