§ 3-57. General requirements.

(a)

Any person deemed qualified and selected as an operator under the terms of this article shall, as a condition of operation, enter into a written lease or agreement defining permitted activity, which is negotiated by the airport manager, or his or her designee, drafted or approved by the county attorney's office, and approved by the board of county commissioners.

(b)

Upon executing a written lease or agreement, and paying of the prescribed fees and rental charges, an operator shall have the right and privilege of conducting the operation specified for so long as operator complies with the terms and conditions of their written lease or agreement, and this article, and relevant federal and state laws, rules and regulations.

(c)

Nothing contained herein shall limit the right of any aircraft operator to use the airport or the right of an aircraft owner or employees of aircraft owner to maintain and repair aircraft to the extent authorized by federal or state laws, rules or regulations.

(d)

The granting of any right and privilege under this article, however, shall not be construed in any way as affording the operator the exclusive right or privilege of use of the airport, other than the land or facilities which may be leased or reserved exclusively to them, and then only to the extent provided in the written lease or agreement. The county reserves and retains the right for the use of the airport by others, pursuant to this article and applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations. The county reserves the further right to designate the specific airport areas in which services may be conducted. Such designation shall give consideration to the nature and extent of the operation and the lands and facilities available for such purpose, which must be consistent with the safe and efficient operation and orderly development of airport.
