adjustments to the City Council at a workshop on May 25, 2010.
Travis McLain: The commercial Land Lease is $0.20 sq. ft. per year. We lease a lot to an individual
so that you have parking, setback, landscaping requirements, like any other business in Georgetown
and not just the footprint of the building. They are 20 years with a 10 year option with lessee and at
the end of the 30 years the improvements revert to the City of Georgetown. Every five years there is a
CPI-W adjustment. The last adjustment was in 2005. All the increases would be to cover inflation.
(Review handouts on Land Leases, Hangars, Tiedowns & wholesale fuel prices). In regard to Self
Service Avgas, we give a 10% discount to commercial operators who pay in advance with a max of
$0.31.
