The Chairman asked for comments. Andy Perry described the lease provisions to the Commission. The lease is similar to the Bradlley Jo lease with a site situated on across from Bradley Jo separated by a proposed road. The lease rate will start at 6 cents per square foot and increase 1 cent per year up to 10 cents, then the CPI-U will raise the rent 3% per year on average. Teri Goodmann had some concerns regarding areas for business that need air access. Andy explained there is currently 15 acres reserved that will have access directly to the taxiways. When a new terminal is constructed the acreage for potential airside business will further increase. The commercial area can not be utililized for air access businesses. Jim O'Neill stated that he wanted the Commission to move toward long range planning. Jim stated the GDDC web site did not even show the airport commercial area. He talked about a 60-day moratorium to get the City, County and GDDC on board. Dan Nicholson said this would push any potential builder into next year's construction season. Andy said it was a great idea to hold sessions with the new Commission members onboard and possibly he could get Coffmann Assoc and others to speak on industry standards for airport commercial areas. Steve Accinelli felt he could not support a moratorium as he felt it would impair any current negotiations. Jim O'Neill moved that when the new Commission is in place that a goal session be held paying attention to the process for the industrial park. He also requested the Chairman of the Airport draft a letter requesting the Airport Manager and future Chairman of the Airport Commission serve on the GDDC Executive Board. This motion was seconded by Steve Accinelli. AYES: All. NAYS: None Jim O'Neill moved approval of Resolution No A 1200-2-2005 Decision of the Airport Commission Regarding Lease of Property. This motion was seconded by Steve Accinelli. AYES: All. NAYS: None. Document in 8 15 05 Agenda.doc Page 2 Printed: 8/11/05 at 3:54 PM Airport Commission Minutes August 1 , 2005 Meeting Page 3 03.
