Subject: AIRPORT ACCESS AGREEMENT AT MEACHAM AIRPORT
On July 24, 1990, the City Council considered C.P. No. I51 ("Agreement for
Through-The-Fence Operation at Meacham Airport for Vintage Flying Museum") , and
directed staff to work with Mr. William Hospers to develop a proposal considering
the items in C.P. 151 and others discussed by the City Council .
Presented for the City Council's consideration is a draft Airport Access Agree-
, meat which is attached to this report. A copy of the draft agreement was given
to Mr. William Hospers in a meeting held on August 2, 1990, for his review and
comments. At this writing, a response from Mr. Hospers has not been received by
City staff. Mr. Hospers was also requested to submit a business plan for the mu-
seum for staff review. The business plan has not yet been received by staff.
The draft agreement names B.C. Vintage Flying Machines, a non-profit corporation,
as the Grantor. This name was obtained from written communication received in
the past. City staff has not received any documentation that B.C. Vintage is a
chartered non-profit corporation. This documentation would need to be received
before an agreement can be executed by the City.
Mr. Hospers also informed the staff that the Civll Air Patrol (CAP) would
001k separately request from the City, access to the airport from Hanger 35S. Mr.
Hospers has or will lease the hanger to the CAP for their use.
Any information or comments received by staff on this draft agreement after this
report is sent to Council will be presented at the Council Worksession on Septem-
ber 4, 1990.
If additional information is requested, please let us know.
Sincerely,
David Ivory
