Lisa Arend was also present.
Mr. Ferguson provided paperwork for the revolving loan fund

Commissioner Barnaby made motion to approve
Seconded by Commissioner Genter. Motion carried unanimously
Mr. Ferguson then presented an application for an enterprise
zone agreement for Aero Beech LTD. (Perry Rupp). This would be
for the building of a hangar at the F.C. Airport. One job would
be created.
Commissioner Barnaby moved to table action on the enterprise
zone agreement until after the 11:00 appointment with the FAA.
Commissioner Graf said that he would like to look at the
documents first. Commissioner Genter asked if there was a
donation and Mr. Ferguson said no, strictly an abatement. There
being no second to Commissioner Barnaby's motion to table
Commissioner Genter made motion to approve the enterprise zone
agreement.
Seconded by Commissioner Graf.
This will be contingent upon getting an amendment to the access
agreement. Mr. Hall asked what the reason would be to make it
contingent because he would not build a hangar without the
access agreement.
Motion carried 2 to 1 with Commissioner Barnaby casting a nay
vote.
Ms. Arend discussed several other training projects the ED
department was working on.

Meeting with FAA Officials Irene Porter and Jason Watt |
Harold Stickley, Gary King, Terry Henricks,
Glenn Lammon of the Airport Board were present for the meeting.
Jan Burkhard, Fulton County Grants Coordinator,and Shawn
Fergusonand Lisa Arend from Fulton County Economic Development
were present. Perry Rupp, owner of Aero Beech Ltd. was here as
well. Commissioner Genter explained that Mr. Rupp would address
the group as he has proposed the building of a hangar on his
property by the airport that would house 2 larger aircraft. He
presently owns the hangar that houses Life Flight. Mr. Rupp
explained where his hangar is proposed.
Commissioner Graf asked Ms. Porter and Mr. Watt about FAA views
access agreements and documents were reviewed.
At this time R.D. Zande phoned in to be a part of any
discusssions.
Ms. Porter said that a generic letter was provided talking about
through-the-fence operations. She stated they cannot prohibit
these types of operations because they do not own the property.
She said the county needs to remain control and by allowing
through-the-fence operations they would lose some of that
control. Commissioner Genter said that Mr. Rupp's access
agreement it could be dropped at any time, so how would that be
losing control. Ms. Porter responded that there are 5 concerns
that should be addressed in the agreement that would not
jeopardize funding. Commissioner Genter stressed that by the
amended access agreement with Aero Beech, there has been a lot
of revenue generated through fuel sales. He also said this is a
valuable tool for Fulton County economic development. Mr. Watt
asked if the lack of facilities at the airport what keeps Fulton
County from doing this instead of Aero Beech. The Commissioners
responded yes. Ms. Porter asked why not add those facilities.
Commissioner Genter said that public dollars invested on hangars
right now would not be good. Commissioner Graf agreed that
private sector willing to expend dollars for this benefits the
county. Life Flight, for example, has been a huge asset to
Fulton County. Commissioner Barnaby expressed concern about the
building on the north side. Mr. Watt said that a portion of that
building should not be there and a through-the-fence operation
there would not be condusive. Commissioner Genter said this is a
unique situation and since Fulton County owns the ground, they
can say no to any operation they do not want. Ms. Porter
explained how a private investor could hamper future situations
should they decide to sell. Commissioner Graf said that he would
specify in any agreement that it is non-transferrable in the
event of any sale of property. Mr. Watt stressed making it fair
to anyone who comes on the airport. Ms. Porter eluded to some
airports that have made their through-the-fence so attractive
that all building is taking place off-property and they are not
getting the revenues. Mr. Watt said that they are just pointing
these things out but it is still up to Fulton County what to
decision is made. Jeff, R.D. Zande, said his concern is the
farmer that owns land that decides he wants to sell his property
and someone buys that wants to have direct access to the airport
for personnal aircraft. They could expect the same right as
given to Mr. Rupp. He suggested having the County Prosecutor
draw up some type of instrument that would prohibit this. Mr.
Rupp said these concerns have been addressed before and
explained his intent - this is strictly an economic development
tool. The last thing that he wants to do is mess up any funding
for the airport. Mr. Watt said it seems like this agreement has
really been looked at but they just want to make sure that they
don't "sell the farm". He agreed that it does look like a good
agreement. Mr. Rupp explained his original agreement and how it
was drafted. Commissioner Graf asked if the quality of the
agreement was the issue and Mr. Watt said that is exactly
correct. Commissioner Graf asked for comments. Mr. Henricks
commented that in the hangar agreements, it is stipulated that
fuel be bought there. Mr. Stickley said his concern is that we
don't get in a situation where Fulton County cannot get funded
in any way. Mr. Watt again stressed the north building and he
recommends acquiring that property and knocking it down - it is
already a bad situation.
Mr. Rupp asked Mr. Watt and Ms. Porter if regulations in fencing
in these smaller airports is being looked at. Ms. Porter said
fencing is coming (wildlife fencing) and more funding dollars
will be available.
Everyone expressed appreciation for the meeting today. |
