KITTITAS COUNTY <br />AIRPORT DEPARTMENT <br />June 7, 2022 AGENDA <br />AGENDA STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: June 7, 2022 CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: REQUEST TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING <br />CONSIDERING THE APPROVAL OF TWO <br />CORELATING LEASE AGREEMENTS. A LAND <br />LEASE BETWEEN KITTITAS COUNTY AIRPORT <br />AND AIRPORT HOLDING LLC AND KITTITAS <br />COUNTY LEASEBACK PORTION OF A COMPLETED <br />BUILDING FROM AIRPORT HOLDING LLC. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Ken Grannan, Airport Director <br /> Codi Fortier, Administrative Assistant <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: In correlation with the Strategic Plan completed in 2021, <br />Kittitas County Airport Staff has negotiated the <br />development of commercial aeronautical facility, <br />incorporating three primary structures. The intent of the <br />development is to establish a new FBO, A&P maintenance <br />facility, commercial hangar lease space, community <br />observation area, pilot lounge, conference room and <br />offices. With the investment coming from a local aviator <br />and business owner, Airport Holdings LLC would like to <br />lease the land on lots H5A, H6A and H7A and H8A for <br />development of these facilities. In return, Kittitas County <br />Airport will be leasing approximately 5000 square feet of <br />the far west building, once completed in 2023, to use as the <br />new Airport office, and maintenance facility. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION: The land lease agreement will consist of Airport Holdings <br />leasing lots H5A, H6A, H7A, and H8A for the described <br />development. Airport Holdings will then lease to the <br />Kittitas County Airport Department office space and a <br />portion of the building for an Airport Equipment <br />Maintenance Facility. This brings the airport office back to <br />the airfield allowing all operations and administration to be <br />directly active with all individuals accessing and operating <br />at Bowers Field. <br />
