MEMBERS PRESENT: Robert Hicks, Richard Blum, Howard Horan, Pat

STAFF PRESENT: Ron O'Neil
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Blum called the meeting to order at 12 : 12 p.m. A
quorum of the Commission was present.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Set public hearing - Corporate hangar No. 34 - O'Neil stated
that he discussed with E. K. Jones from Iowa City Flying Service
provisions in the lease that prohibited subleasing without
permission from the Commission and which required that only the
lessee's own aircraft occupy the hangar. Jones agreed that he
would ask to have the lease for hangar #34 canceled and the
Commission could lease directly to Jim Miller and Greg Apel.
Because the time remaining on the lease is more than three years,
a public hearing is required. Foster made a motion to accept a
resolution to set a public hearing on July 21, 1992 . Hicks
seconded the motion and at roll call vote, the motion passed 4 - 0,
with Ockenfels being absent.
b. Gordon-Schmidt Aircraft, Inc. lease - Gordon-Schmidt Aircraft,
Inc. (GSA) , has proposed to lease the northeast room of the
Terminal Building. They would like the option to be able to
provide addition aviation services in the future. This may include
charter, air taxi, flight instruction, etc.
Steve Schmidt, from GSA, answered several questions presented by
the Commission. Schmidt stated that at this point, GSA does not
have plans to expand from aircraft sales but they would like to
have the flexibility to expand if the market warrants it.
Access to other areas of the Terminal Building was discussed.
Several solutions were discussed.
O'Neil stated that Iowa City Flying Service has the right of first
refusal at equal rent for this room in the Terminal Building. The
Commission must determine if they want to enter into negotiations
with GSA to lease the northeast room of the Terminal Building. If
they want to negotiate on the lease, ICFS must be given 15 days to
respond to leasing the room at equal rent.
