AGENDA STATEMENT

Item No. 6.K.
For Meeting of: September 5, 2017

ITEM TITLE:Resolution authorizing the execution of a new land lease agreement with Doug Hartshorn dba Hartshorn, LLC, for agricultural grazing at 2501 Airport Lane on Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field property
SUBMITTED BY:Robert K. Peterson, Airport Director, 509-575-6149
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Yakima Air Terminal owns and manages a variety of properties, buildings, and land located within the airport's boundaries.  Although the majority of the airport's available is utilized for aeronautical activities, there are specific areas leased out for agricultural purposes.  Traditionally, these areas are leased for agricultural purposes due to FAA policies which prohibit the developing aircraft hangars or buildings in the Runway Protection Zones.  These areas are located at each end of the airport's runways to provide a safe environment as aircraft depart and arrive.  The remaining agricultural areas outside these restrictions are leased to provide the airport with revenue until further aviation development warrants the need for land.
