<br />2021-11-08 MINUTES 1 <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY <br />AIRPORT STUDY SESSION MINUTES <br />BOCC CONFERENCE ROOM, <br />Regular Meeting <br /> <br />MONDAY 11:00 AM November 8, 2021 <br />Board members present: Chairman Brett Wachsmith, Commissioner Laura Osiadacz, and <br />Commissioner Cory Wright <br />Others: <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATE <br />Director Grannan reported the Economic Development Subcommittee has been diligently <br />working to refine the lease policies for the business park. They have developed a flowchart for <br />leasing that outlines all the steps necessary to award a lease and a rough timeline of the process. <br />The lease policy will be the standard template going forward, while still allowing for changes as <br />required for individual needs. <br />LEASE UPDATES <br />Director Grannan stated the Airside lease has now been approved by the Airport <br />Advisory Committee. The Airport Department should have three new leases for approval by the <br />BoCC in December, utilizing the new lease. The Airport Department will also enter into 12 new <br />leases for the County owned T-Hangars, as those leases are converting from “month-to-month” <br />to annual. <br />T-HANGAR REPAIR <br />Director Grannan reported the first T-Hangar heat tape has been repaired. This is a time <br />consuming and expensive venture, as the doors must be taken off their tracts, new wheels <br />installed, and electrical contractors must be employed to replace the heat tape. Director Grannan <br />stated there is at least one more T-Hangar that will require repair in the near future. <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br />Director Grannan stated the Airport Department will provide their proposed updated <br />Rates and Fees to the AAC for approval. If approved, it will then be presented to the BoCC for <br />adoption. <br />The Airport Department is also working with the US Army on an Innovative Readiness <br />Training application to retrofit and revitalize the former Miller Refrigeration Building. More to <br />come as the application process progresses.
