There is a small section of pavement adjacent to their leased area that is in poor condition and is a significant hazard to both Army and civilian aircraft. The Maine Anny National Guard and the Airport is proposing we amend the existing lease to include this area so that they have a long term interest in the property. By giving the Army Guard a long term interest in the property, this area will be eligible for federal funding through the military construction funding program. The Army Guard anticipates being able to acquire funds for the project in this Fiscal Year. In addition, the Maine National Guard is in the process of building an Armed Forces Reserve Training Center on the Northwest side of the runway. They would like to install a fence along the property line between their facility and the Airport. Due to the rocky nature of this property, the National Guard is requesting a maintenance easement to allow the fence to be installed adjacent to the Airport and access to maintain the fence. Attached please find a copy of the proposed diagram for the fence installation and the property description for the Ramp Amendment. The Airport requests your authorization to amend the lease and grant the easement as requested. I look forward to discussing this with you further. As always, if you have any questions, or if you need additional information, please feel free to contact me.
