TITLE
RESOLUTION REQUIRING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO REPORT ON THE STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT AT OPA-LOCKA EXECUTIVE AIRPORT

BODY
WHEREAS, Opa-locka Executive Airport can, if properly utilized and developed, provide significant economic benefits to the Aviation Department, to the County, and to the community; and
WHEREAS, Opa-locka Executive Airport can play a key role in serving the general aviation needs of South Florida; and
WHEREAS, the County has entered into various long-term development leases in order to develop Opa-locka Executive Airport; and
WHEREAS, in the event that development does not occur in conformance with the terms of these leases, or if these developers �land-bank� property at Opa-locka Executive Airport instead of developing such property, the County and the community lose the potential benefits that development of Opa-locka Executive Airport could bring; and
WHEREAS, recent audits suggest that the Miami-Dade Aviation Department and Legal Department should become more diligent in enforcing the terms of these leases,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this Board hereby requires the County Mayor or County�s designee to present a report, on a quarterly basis at the Regional Transportation Committee, describing development activities at Opa-locka Airport. This report should include, but is not limited to, information relating to: (1) rents and other payments received by MDAD, (2) unpaid rents or payments (3) ongoing development activities, (4) compliance with development schedules, (5) current tenants, including sub-tenants, and other occupants of space if such occupancy is not pursuant to a lease, and (6) the status of derelict aircraft at the airport.
