There were <br />two separate Lease documents previously, one for the land ide, and <br />one for the aeronautical side. This would combine both leases into <br />one standard airport lease policy. The AAC has reviewed the Policy. <br /> THOSE PROVIDING TESTIMONY: TERRY LARUE stated that this document is <br />tied to the Minimum Standards document. Since they continued that <br />Public Heairng, the BOCC should also continue this. PAULA MCMINN <br />stated that there is concern about lead poisoning coming from the <br />fuel used at the airport and the number of planes flying close to <br />residential areas. STEVE LATHROP asked that this Policy be set aside <br />until the Minimum Standards have been adopted. The way the lease <br />reads currently, makes it very restrictive. He asked that the BOCC <br />re-examine the proposed term length of the leases. THERE BEING NO OTHERS REQUESTING TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY, THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br />
