Department:Augusta Regional Airport
Presenter:Herbert Judon
Caption:Motion to approve the 1st Amendment to the StandardAero
lease with Augusta Regional Airport.
Background:StandardAero’StandardAaero's current lease agreement expires
June 30, 2021. The current agreement includes an option to
renew the lease for an additional ten (10) year term and allows
for renegotiation of rents and fees. StandardAero indicated to
Airport staff that they would like to exercise their option. In the
negotiation process, they also requested to add a second ten (10)
year option to be added to the lease agreement.
Analysis:StandardAero has been a valued tenant on the Airport for many
decades. Staff negotiated with the General Manager and Legal
Counsel and agreed to the following terms: Approved the ten
(10) year option, extending the contract until June 30, 2031.
Approved a new ten (10) year option, which if exercised, will
extend the contract until June 30, 2041. Keeps the ground lease
rent at current rate for an additional two (2) years in
consideration of economic challenges due to COVID. Allows
the Airport to have the property appraised within that two (2)
year time-frame in order to determine a new baseline rental rate
for the remaining eight (8) year term. Increases fuel price by five
(.05) cents for the first five years and ten (.10) cents for the
second five years of the lease agreement. Increases the Labor
Rate from ninety-three ($93) dollars per hour to ninety-five
($95) dollars per hour at time fueling equipment is brought into
proper working order.
Financial Impact:Keeps the ground lease rent at current rate for an additional two
(2) years in consideration of economic challenges due to
COVID. Allows the Airport to have the property appraised
within that two (2) year time-frame in order to determine a new
baseline rental rate for the remaining eight (8) year term.

Building Permits - Plan Review Fee Reimbursements
Department:Planning & Development
Presenter:Rob Sherman
Caption:Request a motion to approve the reimbursement to
contractors/construction companies for the overpayment of plan
review fees.
Background:At the June 18, 2019 Commission meeting, a motion was
approved to increase the building permit fees 20 % per year for
two years, beginning October 1, 2019, and again on October 1,
2020. The Plan Review fee is 70% of the permit amount…. An
error occurred in the process of increasing the fees in 2019, and
the plan review fee was set to charge twice. The double fee
started with a plan submittal in December 2019 and continued
until April 1, 2021 when the double charge was discovered.
Analysis:Since December 2019 and until April 2021, approximately 404
building permits that included a plan review were charged twice.
The total collected plan review fees for the period is $499,834;
the correct fee amount is $307,728; the refund amount is
$192,106…. Planning Department has discussed this matter with
the Law Department, IT, and in particular the Finance
Department. The process for reimbursing the contractors will be
very similar to the process used for reimbursing alcohol
licensees for their 2021 license.
Financial Impact:$192,106. Funds are available in the Building Division Fund
Balance account.
Alternatives:N/A
Recommendation:Approval
