9O Regular Meeting August 9, 1982 Page 4 "As consideration and rental for the demised premises, Company agrees to pay to City the sum of ten cents (10~) per square foot for the first year of the Agreement, payment to be made in ad- vance on the date of execution of this lease by Company. Company further agrees that consideration and rental for the demised prem- ises for each additional year shall be set annually by agreement of the parties prior to the month and day on which the agreement is executed by Company. Subsequent payments shall be made annually in advance on the same date as the first payment." Mrs. Norris instructed that subsequent leases be altered to charge 10 cents per square foot to bring the leases into conformity with the appraisals of the property as leased premises. Mr. Farr seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Donald Newcombe, President of Butternut, said he would need to think the new lease terms over and make a decision whether or not to pay "double" rental fees or move elsewhere and would like to have time to consider the matter. Mr. Farr moved to table the Resolution until Mr. Newcombe could have the opportunity to reach a decision. The City Attorney advised the Council could approve the Resolution and lease terms and Mr. Newcombe still consider the matter before executing the lease, so Mr. Farr withdrew his motion. John Anderson, Chairman of the Airport Commis- sion, then stated it had been the recommendation of the Commission to charge 5 cents per square foot for a 5-year period. He stated the building did not have much physical value. He recommended the Council not exceed the 10 cent charge per square foot during a 5-year span. The Council then voted unanimously in favor of adoption of the Resolution. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration authorization to bid run- way lights and precision marking for Runway 12 - 30 at the Airport, in connection with the ILS Grant. Mrs. Norris moved to authorize bidding and Mrs. Mendez seconded the motion. Acting City Manager Earl Williams advised that the City's 10% portion of funding was not available but there were alternatives for payment of same. Contin- gency funds could be made available for payment of our portion of the grant and Dinah Elwell had advised him that certain line items could be adjusted to make payment. Mrs. Norris moved that a Budget Amendment Ordinance be prepared to be adopted on emergency to adjust the line items to pay for the City's portion of the grant at the August 16, 1982 Council Meeting and Mr. Kreczmer seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration authorization to bid the Airport Agricultural Lease. Mrs. Norris moved the terms of the Lease be amended on Page 2 under TRACT B. as follows: " .... Turf-type grasses are preferable in Tract B, especially in the triangularly shaped fields, but field crops, other than grain crops, crops that attract birds (row, broadcast, or drilled), may be grown in this Tract ", and on Page 2 under TRACT C. as follows: "Tract C may be used for the growing of field crops other than grain crops, crops that attract birds (row, broadcast, or drilled)," and Mr. Brown se- conded the motion. Ray Harper of the Airport Commission advised that 80% of the persons bidding on the lease would be interested in plant- ing grain crops. He felt "coastal" could be planted without causing a hazard with too many birds close to the runway. Mrs. Norris stated she could not vote to increase the liability of the City. Mr. Kreczmer then moved the matter be tabled for further study and Mrs. Norris se- conded the motion, which passed unanimously.
