Item No. 21 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: AIRPORT RENT DELINQUENCIES <br />DATE: January 4, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: At the December 17 airport board meeting, the board again discussed its deep <br />concerns over recurring late rental payments by a few hangar tenants. Historically, the board has <br />asked the city attorney and /or finance director to send demand letters, after which later payers <br />often caught up. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: However, the board is now asking that the city council instruct the city <br />attorney to take all measures available to compel full payment, or force eviction. This is <br />especially important considering we have a waiting list for spaces at the airport. <br />BUDGET: We are losing rent revenues due to the city. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Instruct city attorney to pursue all means available to collect rents, up <br />to and including revocation of leases. <br />
