Title
Introduction of Incorporated County of Los Alamos Ordinance No. 715, An Ordinance Authorizing the County Manager or Designee to Execute Lease Agreements for Hangars at the Los Alamos County Municipal Airport
Suggested Motion
I introduce, without prejudice, Incorporated County of Los Alamos Ordinance No. 715, an Ordinance authorizing the County Manager or Designee to execute lease agreements for hangars at the Los Alamos County Municipal Airport.
County Manager’s Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council introduce Incorporated County of Los Alamos Ordinance No. 715.
Body
The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to update the non-commercial and commercial leases for County owned hangars at the airport. Current lease language provides a list of prohibited maintenance tasks that may be performed in the hangars which would prohibit an FAA mechanic from working on aircraft and also prohibits construction of experimental and home-build aircraft. The new language allows for aircraft maintenance in accordance with FAA regulations and industry standards. Additionally, the fastest growing segment of general aviation is home-build aircraft. The updated language will align the airport with this market trend and will require a tenant to notify the airport manager in writing of intent to construct an aircraft and provide a timeline for completion of construction.
Alternatives
The County Council may deny Incorporated County of Los Alamos Ordinance No. 715.
