The club has historically operated <br />in a designated area east of the runway. This is an area <br />under an agricultural lease. The RC Club, Ellensburg RC <br />Flyers, has an agreement from the tenant. <br />The County granted a revocable license agreement with <br />the RC Club for use of the area in April 2022. The <br />license agreement has a two-year term. With the <br />expiration of the current license agreement, the RC Club <br />has requested a new license agreement to continue <br />operating at Bowers Field. <br />The Airport Advisory Committee (AAC) met and <br />discussed the license agreement at their March 13, 2024, <br />regular meeting. The AAC supported a motion to grant a <br />new two-year revocable license with the RC Club. <br />The revocable license has been reviewed by the <br />Prosecuting Attorney office and incorporates the RC <br />Club field rules providing an opportunity for the RC <br />Club to continue operations under strict regulations. <br />INTERACTION: Public Works <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve a resolution authorizing execution of a <br />revocable license with Ellensburg RC Flyers. <br />HANDLING: Return one (1) original to Public Works <br />ATTACHMENTS: Revocable License, Ellensburg RC Flyers Field Rules <br />LEAD STAFF: Josh Fredrickson, County Engineer <br />
