use of City of Fort Worth property near the Holly Water Treatment Plant to operate an outer marker beacon to serve flight operations for Meacham

The outer marker beacon occupies a 40'x40' plot of land owned by the City of Fort Worth near the Holly Water Treatment Plant. The second lease
is due to expire on September 30, 2021. All parties desire to continue to lease the plot of land with a third lease agreement for an initial term of
five (5) years to commence on October 1, 2021 and expire on September 30, 2026 with three (3) extensions of five (5) years each.

operate and maintain their aviation facilities on the property.
