PROPOSAL:
It is proposed that the City Council waive the access fee currently being charged to the Vintage Flying Museum,
Inc.,at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport.
DISCUSSION:
On November 23, 1993, an Airport Access Agreement was executed with the Vintage Flying Museum, Inc., at
Meacham Airport a ten-year term. The Museum is located on private property adjacent to the southeast boundary
of the airport. The agreement stipulates that the Museum must remain as a non-profit entity under the terms of
{(Sec.501(c)(3)) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The Museum currently complies with this
requirement.
Currently, the museum is paying $99.97 per month for the access, which is subject to an annual adjustment in
accordance with the upward percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the previous year.
The access is granted for the conduct of activities in connection with the operation of the Museum and other
services such as the sale of aircraft fuel,maintenance, flight instruction,hangar space rental, or aircraft tie downs
are prohibited. The Museum has access by way of a public taxiway for aircraft only, vehicular access is
prohibited.
The Museum contributes greatly to the aviation community and to the community at large through its education
programs with youth interested in aviation careers. They currently operate programs in connection with the Fort
Worth Independent School District and with the Fort Worth Meacham Airport Control Tower.
In light of their involvement in the community and the positive contribution to the community as a whole, it is
proposed that the airport access fee for the Museum be waived.
LEGALITY:
The Department of Law finds that this proposal is legal and that it is within the authority of the City Council.
