WHEREAS, on February 27, 2014, the Airport Manager presented the McCall City Council a
recommendation to streamline the airport land lease transaction process; and
WHEREAS, the current language in the Airport Advisory Committee's Charter is outdated and
requires that all lease requests first be reviewed by the Airport Advisory Committee; and

for sale of a hangar in that processing of a lease transaction could take upward of a month; and
WHEREAS, this process could be lengthened further if a quorum is not achieved at a regularly
scheduled Airport Advisory Committee meeting; and
WHEREAS, the majority of lease transactions for the sale of existing non-commercial hangars
presented to the Airport Advisory Committee contain standard lease language that has been
vetted through the City Attorney; and
WHEREAS, these recommendation requests normally do not result in any form of discussion
given the administrative nature of the transactions and the standardized format of our hangar
leases; and
WHEREAS, the revised charter solidifies the Airport Advisory Committee's participation in
strategic airport planning processes and to make clear the requirements for recusal in the event of
a conflict in interest; and
WHEREAS, the McCall City Council approved the revised Airport Advisory Committee's
Charter at their regularly schedule Council meeting on February 26, 2015;
