Perhaps you could work to have the wording changed to something like:
"Items not related to aviation or airport activity"?

It already says that. The airport commission is now proposing
interpreting this rule as meaning no non-aviation "stuff" in hangars
even WITH an aircraft inside.

Until now, that clause has been used to prevent people from renting
hangars solely to store "stuff". Now, they're trying to extend it to
apply to tenants who have aircraft properly stored in their hangars --
a HUGE change.

This has all happened because a single commissioner was/is ****ed that
she lost a vote to raise hangar rents sky-high. When she lost the
vote, she announced that "if this rate increase cannot go through than
I will insist that the hangar leases be followed strictly to the
letter of the law, and that regular inspections be made to make sure
that no hangar tenants are improperly using hangars for storage".

It's nothing but a snit from a scorned commissioner, but it could have
long-range (and bad) ramifications for our airport. Our rents are
already much higher than neighboring airports, and GA activity overall
is still way down...

My questions is how is your airport commission set up that one ****ed
commission member gets to set the rules and interpitation of the leases?
