Mr. Garcia received an email from Jeff Winters regarding the automobile parking area just north of the
airport office. Mr. Garcia explained that this was a month-to-month temporary arrangement and that the
rate being charged for non-aeronautical use was higher than current aviaion specific land rates. Mr.
Winters agreed that as a temporary situation that the FAA had no concerns. Mr. Garcia explained that the
