Presentation and Discussion on the building formerly occupied by Lanmon Aerial Photography Director Segundo presented the Board with information regarding the status of the building formerly occupied by Lanmon Aerial Photography. He informed the members that he has discussed the use of this building with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Civil Air Patrol. It was the original intent to have the Civil Air Patrol lease the facility and they, in turn, would allow the US Coast Guard Auxiliary to use of some of the building. What has transpired is that the Civil Air Patrol would not sign the lease agreement or assume any liability in any way. With that, Mr. Segundo then asked the US Coast Guard Auxiliary if they would be interested in assuming the agreement. In reviewing the agreement and considering the facility, it became apparent that with the new commercial fueling facility, wash-rack and the GA ramp, changes would need to be made. The facility then evolved into a public GA center. The facility will undergo some renovations and will also include the Civil Air Patrol as well as the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. This new plan will also allow these organizations to utilize the public common areas. The agreement will also include a stipulation that would allow any non-profit organization to use the facility. Discussion was heard on this item. Corpus Christi International Airport Board Agenda May 20, 2015 Page 2 of 3 VIII. Discussion of Director's Report a. Airport Monthly Reports i.
