AGENDA STATEMENT

Item No. 6.H.
For Meeting of: November 5, 2019

ITEM TITLE:Resolution executing an airport lease agreement to develop additional aircraft hangars located at 3600 W. Washington Ave, Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field
SUBMITTED BY:Robert K. Peterson, Airport Director, 509-575-6149
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

In 2015, City Council adopted the Airport Master Plan which identified areas of future growth at the Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field.  One element highlighted within the plan identified the need for additional hangar development to meet increasing demands for aircraft storage.  Through close coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration and McCormick Air Center we've identified approximately 27,582 square feet of airport property located at 3600 West Washington Ave to develop eight additional T-Hangars.  These additional facilities will free up larger hangars occupied by smaller aircraft in order to attract corporate jets and air emergency services.  The revenues produced through both land lease and sale of aviation fuel will benefit the airport's enterprise fund used to operate the airfield.
