was terminated when the Airport Director was unable to obtain further direction for or assistance
with security for the plane from the Federal government.
The additional security cost $15,949.18. In addition to the security costs, the County legal staff
has spent approximately 10 hours and incurred additional costs estimated at $200.00 in
perfecting the lien.
