III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The County is presently the lessor under large aircraft hangar rental agreements with Raymond Nilson,
William P. Ludwig and John Cicero for hangars that are located on the west side of Buchanan field(the
"Large Hangar Tenants'). The County was party to a lease agreement dated March 14, 1995 with Mt.
Diablo Pilots Association (the "MDPA"), which expired on February 29, 2000, and is now a month-to-
month lease. The County also leases tie-down space to the following tenants:Concord Flying Club;Felix
Boston, Steve Elefant; Samuel Gilchrist; Beverly Levy; Pete Mitchell; John L. Potter, Keith Ritthaler;
Russell Roe;Virginia Schaefer;David Shepard;Johannes L.Verhoek;Malcolm Wright;Manley Ormsby;
Larry Bradley; Chris Rampoldt, Bill Ludwig, Albert Bradley, Gary Byer, Chester Robbins j Andre
Ptaszynski,and Gary Guthrie(the"Tie-Down Tenants"). The County previously permitted Milan Haven to
hangar his aircraft at Buchanan Field pursuant to a Permit for Hangar Space. Mr.Haven is deceased and his
hangar space has been rented by his former associates Bruce Bolla and Larry Bradley who are tenants-at-will
in the hangar space(the"Tenants-at-Will,"and together with the Large Hangar Tenants,the MDPA and the
Tie-Down Tenants, the"Parcel Tenants"). All of the Parcel Tenants are tenants at Buchanan Field on a
month-to-month basis and have tenancies subject to termination with thirty days notice from the County.
Each of the Parcel Tenants rent space on approximately 10.5 acres adjacent to Marsh Drive at Buchanan
Field (the "Parcel"). The County is negotiating lease and development terms with CCR Hangars I,
sponsored by the Aviation Development Group("ADG"), for development of the Parcel and anticipates
requesting the Board's authorization to lease the Parcel to CCR Hangars I for development in December
2007. In order for the Parcel to be leased to and developed by CCR Hangars I,the Parcel Tenants must be
provided thirty(30) days notice of termination of their rental agreements in order that they can vacate the
Parcel in advance of it being leased to CCR Hangars I. f
IV. Conseauences of Negative Action: i
Delay in authorizing and approving termination of the Parcel Tenants rental agreements will prevent the
County from entering into a lease with ADG for development of the Parcel and delay rental income to the
Airport Enterprise Fund and increased possessory interest tax revenue to the County general fund.
