AVIATORS PLUS NO LONGER INTERESTED IN TERMINAL BUILDING LEASE

  

People wanting to enjoy a meal at the Brenham Airport diner will have to wait longer now.  Brenham City Manager James Fisher sent an email Monday evening to City Council members and the Airport Advisory Board saying that Brent Nedbalek and Aviators Plus are no longer interested in leasing the terminal building and restaurant at the airport.  The lease agreement was approved by the Airport Advisory Board and brought to the City Council for approval at their March 25 meeting.   At that meeting, councilmember Adonna Saunders had questions as to why the rental rate was only $2500 per year and the item was tabled.  At the next council meeting April 1st, the lease agreement was again tabled when Adonna Saunders moved that a certain dollar amount of improvements be made to the city owned building by Aviators Plus.  The Council could not agree on a dollar amount, so the lease agreement was set to go back to the facility subcommittee to come up with the amount of improvements.

Nedbalek says Aviators Plus will continue to service planes as the only FBO at their facility at the south end of the airport.  The airport’s main terminal building was vacated in August of last year when Southern Flyer terminated their lease.
