Council OKs airport–related items: Warren Field (KOCW), Washington, North Carolina

Renters of multiple T-hangars at the city-owned Warren Field Airport can receive a “volume discount” now that Washington’s City Council has modified the rental rates for T-hangars.

Under the new rate schedule, approved by the council at its meeting Monday, one T-hangar will rent for $2,540 a year. If the same entity rents two T-hangars, the annual rent for the second T-hangar will be $2,159. If the same entity rents a third T-hangar (or more), the yearly rent for third (or more) T-hangar will be $1,905.

The city’s Airport Advisory Board heard a request from Richard Karanian for a quantitative discount for entities renting more than one T-hangar at the airport. Karanian, who rents two T-hangars, wanted to rent a third T-hangar if he could receive a reduced rate for renting multiple hangars.

“After discussing several alternatives, the Airport Advisory Board unanimously voted to allow for a 15% discount on renting a second t-hangar and a 25% discount for anyone renting a third or more T-hangar,” reads a memorandum from Allen Lewis, the city’s public-works director, to the mayor and council members.

City Manager Brian Alligood said the discounted rental rates would make Warren Field Airport more competitive with similar airports in the area.

In another airport-related action, the council amended the city’s budget by allocating $11,213 so it can complete the pavement rehabilitation project at the airport. The city appropriated $1,120 from its balance to go with $10,093 in grant funds to complete the project.
