" po '... *irport Council Committee - Chainnan Kitchell ~ ~e committee minutes are a matter of public record. ~rch 8, 1977. The next committee meeting will be Mrs. Basham commented that she felt the proposed $10 per month raise in the hangar rent at Auburn Airport is too high, that a smaller raise would be more appropriate. M.J or Kersey explained that the Airport Committee and Airport Advisory Committee had arrived this raise after considering rising costs of maintaining the airport facilities, as well surveying hangar rent fees at nearby airports. Mrs. Oscar Lyons, who rents Hangar #65, questioned the deterioration of the roofs of the hangars, whether they should be in such bad shape after only 8 years, whether there is any possible recourse against the contrac~or who installed them, and why an item such as roof repair had not been budgeted for rather than raising the rent to pay for such repair. City Attorney, Jack Bereiter, clarified the point that no negligence was being implied against the contractor, that the necessary roof repair was felt to be a result of nonnal wear and tear. Councilman Lea explained that the airport operation was not paying for itself, and that funds have been required from the General Fund to assure that the airport costs are paid. Mr. Cecil Hendricks, 3432 S. E. l34th, Seattle, stressed the valuable business income that the Auburn Airport generates for the City of Auburn, and expressed the thought that city taxes should pay for the pilots' "streets" in the same way that the city p...ys for the automo- bile streets. Mrs. Harris, Marine View Drive, Seattle, spoke against the increase, and wondered if the new tiedown area hadn't generated significant income for the airport. Councilman Craig commented that the airport had cost the general taxpayer money in the past 'cith6t an attempt is being made to end this cost, to make the airport self-sustaining. 8asham asked if the 1/2~ gas tax money used to build the additional tiedowns couldn't be to defray the cost of airport operations. Mayor Kersey replied that these monies cannot be spent in this way. Mr. Ronald Ripley, 717 "A" St. N. E., Auburn, spoke in favor of the raise, and commented on the low-flying aircraft. -2- 226 AUBURN, WASHINGTON MONDAY FEBRUARY 7, 1977 Mr. Shaugnessey, 1414 10th N.
