AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Meeting Date:           September 11, 2006

From:                          Charlie Weller, Airport Manager

Subject:                      Resolution approving a Sublease and Assignment between Triangle Aviation Service and Lawton & Fischer, LLC

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of the Sublease and Assignment between Triangle Aviation Service and Lawton & Fischer, LLC.

Analysis:

On March 27, 2006, the City Commission approved a Consent to Assign Lease for the hangar owned by Penny Wilson at 8900 Airport Boulevard.  The Consent to Assign Lease was from Ms. Penny Wilson to Mr. Neil Fischer and Mr. Rhett Lawton, d/b/a Triangle Aviation, Inc.  At a later date, staff determined Mr. Fischer and Mr. Lawton, had not purchased the building but rather other assets of Triangle Aviation, Inc.  Therefore, the attached Sublease and Assignment between Triangle Aviation Service, Inc. and Lawton & Fischer, LLC is the appropriate legal way to allow Lawton and Fischer to conduct business in this hangar at Leesburg Regional Airport.  The Consent to Assign Lease approved in March will be rescinded by the same resolution.

The Airport Advisory Board reviewed and recommended the agreement for approval at their August 16, 2006 meeting.

Options:

1.  Approve Sublease and Assignment between Triangle Aviation, Inc. and Lawton & Fischer, LLC

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

Approval of this agreement has no fiscal impact on the City of Leesburg.
