PUBLIC HEARING:
Jet Air,Inc.lease-Mascari opened the hearing at 1:03 p.m. Dennis Gordon wanted to know
what services the FRO was providing? Barry Barash,from Jet Air,said they were a full service
FBO,and would provide fuel,charter,sales, and repair. He said he would hope to work
something out with IOW Aero for instruction. If not,they would provide it. He said it would be
like their operation in Galesburg. Gordon said he also thought it was important that the main
FBO phone number stay with the Airport. If Jet Air were to leave sometime in the future,FBO
customers would still be able to contact the Airport for services. Barash said he would agree to
that and did not think that would be a problem. The public hearing was closed at 1:06 p.m.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
Jet Air lease-Horan asked Barash if they would be taking over any of the equipment already on
the field,specifically the fuel trucks. Barash said they would like to work with IOW Aero to
provide services. He said he planned to meet with IOW Aero before they go back to Galesburg.
Anderson said he wanted to know if the Commission was in agreement with the terms of the
lease. The original lease is for five years,with four five-year options. O'Neil reminded the
Commission that the options were at the choice of Jet Air. The rent at the end of each option was
tied to the Consumer Price Index.
Mascari asked if Jet Air has their staff selected? Barash said they have discussed this and have
narrowed their list to a couple of people. Their operations manager would be the contact person
for day to day decisions. Horan said he wanted to make it clear that Jet Air had an open
invitation and would be encouraged to attend Commission meetings.
Ellis made a motion for a resolution to accept the lease with Jet Air. Horan seconded the motion
and at roll call vote,the motion passed 4 -0,with Ruyle being absent.
