Sounds like it is turning into a witch hunt for Red Eagle Aviation.
Looks as though we should resurrect that resolution. What is your
schedule next week - Tuesday or Wed???

AIRPORT STUDY OR INVESTIGATION?
I'm not sold on doing any studies about this airport using F.A.A.
grant money. All it is doing is using more of taxpayers money to find
other ways to use F.A.A. grant moneys (More tax payers Money) to expand
and develop this airport and remove it from our control. We have spent
hundreds of thousands on studies already. The people of Kalispell do not
want an expanded runway , nor do we want F.A.A. involvement in our
airport as we don't want to be subjected to the 39 assurances they will
put a pond us.
What we need is a STUDY/INVESTIGATION, in how and why the City paid
Red Eagle $774,000.00 ( 3/4 OF A MILLION DOLLARS) for such a small piece
of land and then gave them a 20 year lease with two 5 year options to
extend there lease, AND only a $1500.00 a month lease agreement ( you
can't even rent a house for that ), WITH OUT THE COUNCILS APPROVAL AND
VOTE, they are going to tell you that they made a resolution or
ordinance to allow the management to do this, Wrong! It has to be the
vote of the council, no where in that rule can be delegated to anyone
else. But they won't tell you that they broke Montana Code Annotated
7-8-4201 by doing so. Our City Attorney, City Manager, City Airport
manager, Mayor and Some Council Members were all in on this with Red
Eagle Aviation and other lease holders out there ( you can see all there
signatures on the contracts ). Our new City manager stated that the
rules were broke, she almost signed one. I'm shocked to see our city
attorneys signature on them, he know the laws!
Let's do a study on who broke the laws first. I believe Red Eagle
and our city airport manager was in on it because they knew if we were
to get the F.A.A. grant to expand the runway they would be left out.
BECAUSE of the 39 assurance state that there will be no through the
fence business on the F.A.A. funded and run airport. I asked the City
Manager, how did Red Eagle property come up for sale and why did we buy
it? She said Oh, property just comes up for sale now and then and we
bought it to improve our airport safety zone. $774K? For a small piece
of land? Monks have 11 acres there for a lot less for sale, but city is
not buying it. No answer.
Now I'm being told we can't break the lease agreements or we will
be sued by Red Eagle and others, I think the court should decide on who
can sue who. People will start chirping like birds if they think they
may see some jail time for doing some inside dealing and miss use of
public funds. Maybe Red Eagle wants' to buy back there land and rip up
there lease. Let's not get any deeper by doing more studies and continue
to expand. Maybe we should talk about the Moneys of the land that
Roseuars and Hilton sit on and the Armory deal and the dealing on the
Radio Towers. And all the other land purchases the city has made out
that way. And why did we spend 2. something million on land purchases
when they knew they couldn't get the F.A.A. moneys to pay it back?
Let's get "Progressive" "Let's make things right" "Let be Honest" It's
our response ability to correct past city employees mistakes and wrong
doings. And bring to justus people that abuse the system and us.
