Item No.
Date: July 26, 2010
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing an Amendment to a Lease between the Bangor International
Airport and the Maine Army National Guard to provide a Maintenance Easement for the
Installation and Maintenance of a Fence
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary:
The Maine Army National Guard is in the process of building an Armed Forces Reserve Training
Center on the Northwest side of the Airport. The Army Guard would like to install a fence along
the property line between the new 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 to provide access to maintain the fence.
This has been reviewed by the Airport Committee and recommended for approval.

Re: Request to Amend Army Guard Lease
Date: July 8, 2010
As part of the Maine Army Guard's recent hangar construction project, they repaved their aircraft
parking apron. 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.
