. excellent condition. However, some consideration should be given 10 eventually leasing all of the hangars. to a single management tOtity possibly a private developer who would be interested in :velo~ing other hangar facilities on the airport.

If longer terms are required in order to secure financing or to assure that major capital improvements will be constructed, then escalation of rental or the lease rates must be an integral part of the agreement. At the present time, hangar rental at similar {reliever/satellite) airports in Texas range from $6o-$l20 per month for single engine aircraft, to $200-$450 for multi-en<Jined aircraft. Tie down fees are generally around $30 per month. QtbI!Ir: A1zpart 91'1; 1<1:1"")8 SboUld the City be successful in the acquisition of land from Gary Job Corps Center, a number of buildings would be available for lease or rental. However, many of the structures may not be suitable for util:f zation as <XIIlD'lercial or business structures, and it may be more beneficial to raze the structures to recover space for the construction of new facilities. As was recommended relative to construction of T-Hangars, the City can benefit from either c:aurtruction and ownership of new Wildings by private develq>ers, or through municipal ownership and construction. Again, this decision must be with the City government; whether or not a city government should engage in basic land and facility development practices is a decision that has significant economic and philosophical questions to consider. The City should not, however, ignore the possibility of assuming ownership, if necessary, in order to encourage airport ~~e:uents. While ownership of future buildings on the airport is not necessarily encouraged, there are certain advantages that can accrue to tenants through City sponsorship of the project. Again, the terms of the lease and the specific project details are of principal concern. In either case, the City must mai.ntai.n strict control over the design of new t:ui.1dings or renovation of older ones and assure the compliance with rules, codes, and policy relative to buildings and ground mainte- nance, etc. It is strongly recommended that appropriate City codes and building standards be used as basic design/construction guidance during planning phases. 9.11
