AIRPORT BOARD TO DISCUSS POSSIBLE NEW F.B.O.

  

The Brenham Municipal Airport Advisory Board will discuss a revised Fixed Base Operator (FBO) agreement with Aviators Plus, when they meet Tuesday.

In August, Southern Flyer cancelled its FBO contract with the city, leaving the building empty.  Aviators Plus has expressed interest in the FBO and the board will discuss the proposed lease.

The proposal is for a 10-year lease, with a rent of $2,500 annually for the first five years with an increase of $300 automatically at the five-year mark and the lessee donating $2,000 annually to the city of Brenham for landscaping/entrance improvements and airside maintenance, such as pavement markings.

Aviators Plus would also have to open a restaurant within 270 days of the contract.  The restaurant may be subleased, with the city’s written approval, and must be open at least four days a week for eight hours each day.

The board will meet Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the airport.
