Dear Charlie:
Attached is what I believe. to be a very workable plan to keep the DA V on the
Marathon Airport. The memo outlines the annual services that the DA V will
perform to support our facility and its users.
The document is a collaborative effort between both the DA V and myself. They
have reviewed the fmal draft and have given it unanimous approval. I am also
anticipating a unanimous affIrmative vote at the September 9, 1998 BOCC meeting
in Marathon.
I am also attaching letters of support and interest in the various programs and
service~. that the DA V proposes to accomplish and render during the next year.
In the course of coming to an agreement with the DA V, I have met with their
members on many occasions over the last few months. I can honestly say that I have
no doubts of their sincerity or their ability to follow through with the
implementation of this plan. They are very enthusiastic and they look forward to
serving an aviation function which will be a direct benefit to the airport.

FRO~I:
DATE:
August 27, 1998
SUBJECT: DA V Services in lieu of Rent Payments to allow the
Disabled American Veterans to remain on the
Marathon Airport
As you know the DA V has leased property at the Marathon Airport
since October 1, 1978. The current lease expires on September 30, 1998.
You have submitted two letters to Monroe County outlining FAA's
position on a lease extension (March 9, 1998 and July 20, 1998). In your
letters you have stated that the DA V must pay Fair Market Value for the
property or provide equivalent benefits to the Airport.
The following is an outline of how the DA V will annually provide
equivalent benefits to the Airport which will exceed the appraised FMV
rental of $28,980.
e
The elements of the proposal are divided into three categories of
benefits: Maintenance and Improvements, Events, and Programs.
MAThITENANCEAND-UMPROVEMENTS
Upon the expiration of the existing lease, the building and all of its
appurtenances (constructed and paid for by the DA V) become the
property of Monroe County.
Because the DA V was unsure of the status of their request for a lease
extension many maintenance and improvement projects have been
deferred during the last year.
Upon execution of a new lease the following projects will be
accomplished which will enhance the value of the property, soon to be
owned by the County.
1. Repair and upgrade of:
a. Electrical Systems
b. Air Conditioning Systems
c. Plumbing Systems
d. Floors
e. Walls
f. Ceilings
g. Painting as needed
ESTIMATED FMV OF TillS WORK ---------- $10,000
2. Improvements to the grounds and parking facilities:
a. New Planting with mulching
b. Fence Refurbishing
ESTIMATED FMV OF THIS WORK ---------- $ 3,000
Pa2;e 2
EVENTS
Promotion of the l\tlarathon Airport is becoming critical due to declining
commercial air service. The County is about to imprement a marketing
plan to obtain additional service and passengers. The staging of special
events at the Airport will help with our promotional efforts. The DA V
with its large assembly room and food and beverage facilities will be a
tremendous asset to these events.
1. Bomber Day (Annually, in the last week of January, the Collings
Foundation brings down two W.W.IT bombers for rides and
display)

ESTIl\t1A TED FMV OF THESE SERVICES ------- $ 2,500

what type of community/airport event will take place are uncertain at
this time, however the following is a list of possibilities:

PROGRAMS
1. Airport Intern Program
For the last two years the Airport Department has taken on a summer
intern to work in airport offices during June, July, and August. The
DA V already has a scholarship program in place.
We propose to combine the two programs. The DA V will take over the
Airport Intern Program and screen and interview all prospective
candidates. They will monitor the intern's progress, and will award a
scholarship of $1,000 to the intern after he or she has completed' the
program.
ESTIMATED FMV FOR TillS WORK -------- $ 3,000
2. Assistance to other Aviation related groups operating from the
Marathon Airport.
In the ~Iarathon area meeting room space is very limited and expensive.
The DA V has a 1,320 sq. ft. meeting room which is ideally suited to
conduct aviation related group meetings. A FMV cost of $50.00 per
hour was determined by surveying other like facilities in the area. The
following is a list of groups which will be using the DA V building in the
future:
A.
B.
FKAA - The Florida Keys Aviation Association (General
aviation aircraft owners and pilots).
Civil Air Patrol - The DA V will become their clubhouse for
meetings.
Young Eagles - The DA V will become their classroom
facility .
Monroe County Airports - The DA V wiil become the
meeting room of choice when we have a pre-bid conference
on a large project with many expected attendees.

ESTIMATED F~IV FOR TillS SERVICE ---------- $ 4,500
Pa2;e 4
TOTAL ESTIMATED ANNUAL FMV OF DAV SERVICES TO THE
MARATHON AIRPORT ------- $32,500
Other elements of this proposal:
A. Term of the lease
The DA V is requesting that the initial term of the lease extension be for
five years.
B. Monitoring of DA V Services to the Airport.
On an annual basis, the Airport Department will audit the DA V's
accounting of services provided to the airport and the value placed upon
them. The period to be reviewed will be from October 1 to September
30 annually. The DA V will have 30 days after September 30 to submit
their documentation to the Airport Department. The Airport
Department will have 30 days after receipt of the documentation to
review it. The FAA may require to inspect any and all documentation
-..-- received from the DA V or the Airport Departments review of those
documents.
C. Year End Carryover.
If the DA V renders services to the Airport that exceed the FMV of the
annual rental payment, any surplus will be credited toward the next
years rental payment. Conversly, as per FAA regulations and the policy
of the l\'1onroe County Board of County Commissioners the amount of
annual FMV rent will increase each year by CPl.
CONCLUSION
I believe that this proposal meets and exceeds the requirements outlined
in your letters. Therefore, I look forward to the FAA's approval of the
proposal.
