CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The structure proposed for the Lease and Leaseback financing has always contemplated
that at least the County of San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino would be
required to provide credit support for the transaction. Several default situations could
conceivably occur whereby the costs to the SBIAA would exceed the initial financial
benefits to the SBIAA by a two to three times factor. Under such circumstances it will
be necessary to create a structure that provides the investor with the assurance that a
governmental entity other than the SBIAA will be financially and legally able to remit
the required payments under the lease documents.
The JPA agreement for the SBIAA as it currently exists does not require any member to
unconditionally remit payments but imposes a remedy of forfeiture of participation and
membership if required payments are not made. Banks and other lenders have always
viewed this provision of the JPA agreement as an impediment to funding loans to the
SBIAA without some form of guaranty from the County of San Bernardino and one or
more of the city members.
The Cities of Colton and Loma Linda could guaranty their proportionate amount of the
potential lease liability by either a sublease agreement with the County of San Bernardino
and the City of San Bernardino or by also accepting title to the Airport together with the
County of San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino. The preferred structure as
has been informally communicated by the SBIAA and the members was to have the
County of San Bernardino and all city members hold title to the Airport in joint tenancy.
The County and the city members would be signatories to the lease documents and would
be jointly and severally liable for all financial obligations of the SBIAA pursuant to the
Lease and Leaseback financing.
The financing group has requested that the SBLA-A, the County of San Bernardino Board
of Supervisors and the City Council of each city member be presented with the
opportunity to approve in concept proceeding further with the Lease and Leaseback
financing with the members of the SBIAA acquiring title to the Airport and assuming all
financial and performance obligations pursuant to the financing.

ITEM NO. 21
STAFF REPORT
TO: San Bernardino International Airport Authority
FROM: Sabo & Green, a Professional Corporation
DATE: January 14, 1998
RE: Retain Investment Banking Firm and Special Lease
Counsel
BACKGROUND:
SBIAA staff and legal counsel have been working with
representatives of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch") and the law firm of O'Melveny &
Myers since February 1996 in connection with the proposed Lease and
Leaseback financing. It is intended that the SBIAA financing be
modeled after the same form of financing that was successfully
undertaken by the County of San Bernardino and completed in May
1997 .
Merrill Lynch was retained by the County of San
Bernardino to serve as the financial advisor and placement agent
responsible for coordinating all aspects of the financing and for
assembling the participants for the financing which includes the
municipal bond insurance company, investment agreement providers,
appraisers and other attorneys . Additionally, Merrill Lynch would
be responsible for structuring the cash flows of the leases,
advising the SBIAA as to the other financial aspects of the
financing and obtaining and negotiating with the equity investor
for the placement of the lease and financing documents . The fees
of Merrill Lynch would not exceed 2% of the value of the asset
leased to the equity investor and payment of such fees would be
contingent upon the successful closing of the Lease and Leaseback
financing. The proposed agreement with Merrill Lynch would
terminate on June 30, 1998, and could be terminated earlier by the
SBIAA for any reason upon 30 days' prior written notice.
The law firm of O'Melveny & Myers was previously retained
by the County of San Bernardino to serve as special lease financing
counsel to the County for the previous Lease and Leaseback
financing as completed by the County. O'Melveny & Myers will be
responsible for drafting of all leasing documents, reviewing of
SBIA\0001\DOC\301
1\13\98 10:18 km
California real estate matters and providing the necessary federal
income tax opinions in connection with the tax advantages to be
derived by the equity investor from this form of financing. The
legal fees are based upon an hourly rate in the event the financing
does not close for any reason whatsoever, and the legal fees,
exclusive of reimbursable expenses, shall be equal to $650, 000 only
upon the successful closing of the financing. O'Melveny & Myers
also has requested that said law firm would be able to continue to
represent certain other clients in matters that could possibly be
adverse to the SBIAA but not in a matter that is substantially
related to the Lease and Leaseback financing.
The proposals from both firms are substantially similar
to those as were previously approved by the County of San
Bernardino in connection with the financing as undertaken by the
County in May, 1997 . The fees that are payable to these firms and
the other attorneys and consultants to the various parties will be
paid from the gross available proceeds of the financing. The $10M
to $15M amounts that have been quoted as potentially being
available to the SBIAA from this financing has always been
considered as a dollar figure that is net of all costs of the
transaction including the Merrill Lynch fees and the O'Melveny &
Myers legal fees .
_ ACTION:
Motion to approve the retaining of Merrill Lynch and
O'Melveny & Myers and authorize the preparation of appropriate
agreements by SBIAA staff and legal counsel and authorize the
execution thereof by the President and Secretary of the SBIAA.

Issues for discussion with San Bernardino Council on Monday,
March 30, 1998, as to status of (i) SBIAA lease and lease-back
financing and (ii) possible transfer of ownership of Airport to
County of San Bernardino and City of San Bernardino
1 . Status of current SBIAA debt structure; loans from IVDA
($5 . OM principal amount, plus interest) and members ($3 . OM
principal amount, plus interest)
2 . Status of SBIAA leasing activities, Santa Barbara Aerospace
lease, other leases; transfer of IVDA EDC Property to SBIAA
as a Public Benefit Transfer and results of negotiations
with Air Force
3 . Previous and current Airport Improvement Projects; use of
MAP grant funding through FAA for Airport improvements,
infrastructure and building roof repairs and federal EDA
grants for streets and other infrastructure; 100 or 250
local matching requirements
4 . Current financial status of SBIAA; current operating
deficit; time period to achieve break-even
5 . Financing options available to SBIAA
(see SBIAA Staff memorandum to SBIAA dated November 25,
1997)
6 . Structure of lease and lease-back financing; goals of
financing are to (i) repay members in whole, (ii) repay a
portion of the IVDA loan, and (iii) provide working capital
for operations and other capital improvements
7 . Issues relative to County/Cities holding title to Airport
upon transfer of title by Air Force;
a . County of San Bernardino, City of San Bernardino and
other cities of the SBIAA are not required to increase
legal exposure beyond limits established in JPA
Agreement
b. lease and lease-back financing cannot be completed
unless either the (i) County of San Bernardino, or (ii)
the County of San Bernardino and the City of San
Bernardino accept title to the Airport and execute all
lease and lease-back financing documents; this is
necessary to provide the credit support to the
financing
C. MBIA will insure the payment obligations of the Owner
or Owners of the Airport in the event a payment is
Page 1 of 2
�T
required to be made by the Owner or Owners under the
lease and lease-back financing documents
d. the Owner or Owners of the Airport will enter into a
Master Lease and Operating agreement with the SBIAA to
delegate all operational and financial responsibility
for the Airport to the SBIAA
e . upon the Owner or Owners being required to remit a
payment by virtue of their ownership position in the
Airport, the payment obligation will be automatically
presented to the SBIAA for payment from either (i)
operating revenues of the SBIAA, or (ii) other borrowed
funds of the SBIAA, or (iii) a request for payment to
the members pursuant to Section 11 of the SBIAA JPA
Agreement
f . failure of any member to pay funds requested pursuant
to Section 11 of the SBIAA JPA Agreement would cause
the defaulting member to forfeit participation in the
SBIAA, and continued defaults would then terminate
membership in SBIAA after one (1) year
8 . Clarifications to the SBIAA JPA Agreement for purposes of
the lease and lease-back financing are desirable; SBIAA
requested that the members consider an amendment to the
SBIAA JPA Agreement to have the SBIAA structured in a
similar manner to the IVDA
9 . Any amendment to the SBIAA JPA Agreement, whether to merely
comply with the clarifications necessitated by the lease and
lease-back financing or to modify the voting structure,
would require the approval of each member to the SBIAA
through the Board of Supervisors and each City Council
10 . If any single member of the SBIAA does not approve a lease
and lease-back financing requested modification to the SBIAA
JPA Agreement, or if none of the members elect to accept
title to the Airport and execute the lease and lease-back
financing documents, the SBIAA will then seek alternate
methods of financing the ongoing Airport operating deficits
and capital requirements
11 . SBIAA has other options available to refinance a portion of
the existing debt; however, the other traditional financing
options will require the SBIAA to pay debt service which
increases the annual operating deficit

Status of S32AA Lease and Lease-back financing as of November 20,
1997
1 . The initial Airport appraised value is equal to $249, 200, 000
as of November, 1997; appraisal report also includes an
aviation feasibility study. Final appraisal report
valuation figure is subject to the final review of all
existing SBIAA lease agreements and subject to change due to
numerous factors.
2 . Potential net benefit to the SBIAA is equal to $10M or more
in cash upon closing; closing will not occur by December 31,
1997, but will probably occur in February, 1998 provided
that no further tax regulations or tax law changes are
proposed. Actual net benefit amount is subject to change
due to variables .
3 . SBIAA must obtain title transfer from the Air Force to the
SBIAA; title must then transfer from the SBIAA to the County
of San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino and be held
by the County of San Bernardino and the City of San
Bernardino during the term of the lease and lease-back
financing.
4 . The County of San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino
will each own (i) either a 1/3 or 1/2 undivided interest as
to the County of San. Bernardino, or (ii) either a 2/3 or 1/2
undivided interest as to the City of San Bernardino. Under
the primary lease agreement with the Equity Investor, both
the County of San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino
will each be financially responsible for 100% of the lease-
back payments to be made to the Equity Investor. Title to
the Airport would revert to the SBIAA upon expiration of the
term of the lease and lease-back financing pursuant to an
Operating Agreement between the County of San Bernardino and
the City of San Bernardino with the SBIAA.
5. The Operating Agreement would essentially give the full
operational and management responsibilities to the SBIAA.
All cash received from the Equity Investor upon the closing
date of the lease and lease-back financing would be
transferred to the SBIAA for use by the SBIAA as may be
directed by the SBIAA.
6. MBIA has proposed to further secure the transaction by
insuring both (i) she lease-back obligation of the County of
San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino to the Equity
Investor (this obligation will be financially de=eased from
Page 1 of 3
r`� �; �'
NOV 25 '97 10:59AM SABO & GREEN P.3
the invested escrow funds) , and (ii) certain default
payments that would be made to the Equity Investor in the
even certain defaults occur that terminate the lease and
lease-back transaction . The C_ty/County lease-back
obligation will be economically de_°eased with the deposit to
the escrow fund to be held by AIG which is rated "AAA" . The
deposit amount will be funded by a prepayment amount from
the Equity Investor. Although the City/County will have
control over the Events of Default under the lease-back
documents, some contingent risks will remain for the
City/County. The financial liability, though remote, under
(ii) above could be significant as a penalty amount and
could be equal to 3 or more times the amount of the un front
cash payment to the SBIF.A (up to $30M and decreasing during
the term of the lease and lease-back financing) . In the
event MBIA is required to make any payments under the
insurance policy, the County of San Bernardino and the City
of San Bernardino (subject to rei mbursement by proportionate
amounts from the Cities of Colton, Highland and Loma Linda)
would be required to either remit a cash payment to MBIA or
to issue bonds or other obligations that may be insured by
MBIA to thus reimburse MBIA for the insured loss .
7 . The County of San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino
as the fee title owners of the Airport would enter into a
sub-sub-lease with the Countv of San Bernardino and the
Cites of Colton, Highland, Loma Linda and San Bernardino
guarantying the obligations incurred by the County of San
Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino as the fee title
owners of the Airport . Such guaranty would extend to any
and all liabilities incurred by the County of San Bernardino
and the City of San Bernardino in connection with (i) all
liabilities as the property owner of the Airport, and (ii)
all financial obligations incurred as a part of the lease
and lease-back financing for the benefit of the SBIAA.
8 . SBIAA will be required tc maintain (i) rental interruption
insurance, (ii) liability insurance, and (iii) property
damage insurance which may include earthquake coverage at
such limits as may be required by the Equity Investor and
MBIA.
9 . SBIAA and/or the County and the separate Cities must retain
or guaranty to pay the fees of certain members of the
financing team (including feasibility consultants,
engineers, appraiser, financial consultants and attorneys
for the other participants) ; such commitment for the payment
of fees could be in excess of $1M in the event the financing

can not or does not proceed to completicn for any reason.
whatsoever. An initial cash deposit may be required by the
outside legal counsel and the counsel for the Equity
Investor prior to the commencement of negotiations and
drafting of documents . The SBIAA may require that this
deposit be obtained from the members of the SBIAA. If the
financing is abandoned, then any unused portion of this
deposit would be released to the members . Other members of
the financing team, such as those arranging for the
financing, will work on a contingency basis but will ask to
be formally retained by the SBIAA.
10. The financing team must be retained not later than December
3, 1997, to ensure that the lease and lease-back financing
has the possibility of closing during February, 1998 .

DATE: January 14, 1998
RE: Approval to Commence the Preparation and
Distribution of a Restated and Amended Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement to Confirm the
Membership and Voting Structure of the SBIAA
f'
BACKGROUND:
The proposed Lease and Leaseback financing will require
the Board of Supervisors and the City Councils for the Cities of
Colton, Loma Linda and San Bernardino to re-adopt the Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement that initially established the SBIAA
in 1992 . This proposed action will enable the members of the
financing team for the Lease and Leaseback financing to have access
to a single legal document that confirms the current membership of
I the SBIAA. This is especially important since the departure of the
ii Cities of Highland and Redlands from the SBIAA membership.
1
The SBIAA is presented with an opportunity to restructure
the voting membership and individual participation within the SBIAA
to be identical with that of the IVDA while at the same time
accomplishing the restructuring of the SBIAA. It is proposed that
the officers, official duties and responsibilities and the
appointment of the individuals serving on both the IVDA and SBIAA
be virtually identical for further streamlining the administrative
functions of the IVDA and the SBIAA. This proposal would also
require that the individuals appointed by the Board of Supervisors
and each City Council to the SBIAA would be the same individuals
who are appointed to the IVDA.
Even though the previous Settlement Agreement entered
into by the IVDA in 1992 with the Cities of Highland and Redlands
and the East Valley Association remains in effect, such
restructuring of the SBIAA by adopting the Restated and Amended
Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement is not intended to in any manner
violate the provisions of the Settlement Agreement. The proposed
restructuring of the governing body of the SBIAA together with the
previous actions of both the SBIAA and the IVDA to consolidate

f.
staffing functions and adopt a single organizational structure will
provide further efficiencies to the local reuse efforts for the
former NAFB properties whether the property in question is
controlled by the SBIAA or the IVDA.
The IVDA and the SBIAA will retain their unique legal
existence and identities as separate and distinct joint powers
authorities . It is the intent of SBIAA staff to carefully
distinguish the redevelopment and tax increment revenue powers of
the IVDA from the aviation and Airport ownership functions of the
SBIAA. This is necessary for maintaining the integrity of the IVDA
and SBIAA in furtherance of the federally approved transfers of the
Airport by the FAA to the SBIAA and the transfer of the Palm
Meadows Golf Course and the Economic Development Conveyance
properties from the Air Force to the IVDA.
ACTION:
Motion to direct staff to commence preparation and
distribution for review and approval by the Board of Supervisors
and the City Councils of the Cities .of Colton, Loma Linda and San
Bernardino of a Restated and Amended Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement including the same title of officers, voting structure
and appointment of individuals as exists for the Inland Valley
Development Agency.

FRAM: Sabo & Green, a Professional Corporation
DATE: January 14, 1998
RE: Presentation of Status of Lease and Leaseback
Financing for Discussion Purposes
BACIfG&Q�
Attached for your information are copies of the fo:.lowing
documents in connection with the Lease and Leaseback financing: (i)
a time schedule showing the required actions for the completion of
the Lease and Leaseback financing and the anticipated closing date
of April 15, 1998; (ii) a term sheet prepared by Merrill Lynch
setting forth the detailed terms and conditions of the proposed
Lease and Leaseback financing.
A meeting was held with representatives of Merrill. Lynch
on Tuesday, January 6, 1998, to discuss the status of the Leese and
Leaseback financing and to address the various issues required for
the successful closing. The Lease and Leaseback financing is
presently scheduled to close by mid-April 1998 . It is still
anticipated that the SBTAA will have encumbered furds of
approximately $10M to $15M upon the closing of the financing for
purposes of repaying the loans as advanced by the Members of the
SBIAA,.
The two most important issues for the SBIAA to un(iertake
at the present time are (i) expediting the transfer of tit:.e from
the Air Force to the SBIAA, and (ii) receiving the written
concurrence from the FAA as to the intended transfer of t:.tle of
the Airport properties to the four members of the SBIAA with a
reversion of title to the SBIAA at a later date. A separate
Operating Agreement between the four members and the SBI7.A will
allow the SBIAA to exercise full operational central and
responsibility for the Airport. This Operating Agreement wi11 also
ensure that the eventual title transfer back to the SBIAA oc:urs at
the end of the Lease and Leaseback financina term. UP on the
termination of the Lease and Leaseback financing, the Operating
Agreement would also end and title to the Airport would immeiiately
revert to the SSTAA. Depending upon the final structure of the
9s1a\000:\00c\300
1\13\98 1:03 km
HIV 1 - '98 01:33PN SAGO& GREEN P.2
Lease and Leaseback financing, the financing may be subject to an
optional prepayment occurring at any time after 15 years following
the lease commencement date and prior to the end of the 35-year
financing term. The earliest date fer an optional prepayment, as
well as final expiration date for the Lease and Leaseback
financing, will depend upon the final structure of the proposed
financing.
During the interim period of time that title is held by the County
and the three Cites, all FAA grant assurances would be adhEred to
and all other FAA requirements pursuant to the Public F,enefit
Transfer would be followed. The SB7.AA would continue to be
responsible for all operational aspects of the Airport activities
including budget approval, execution of leases, hirir.g and
termination of emplovees and establishing of Airport Cper2.tional
Guidelines and other Rules and Regulations for Airport acti-ities .
No action is required to be taken at the present by the
SBIAA on this agenda item.

among other reasons, (i) possessory interest tax shall be imposed on the
Head Lessee giving rise to a payment obligation of$2.5 million or
greater on a present value basis;(ii) it shall have become illegal for the
Owners to continue the Sublease or for the Owners to make payments
under the Sublease;and (iii) one or more events shall have occurred
which are reasonably likely to give rise to an avoidable Additional Rent
or Withholding Tax obligation in excess$2.5 million on a present value
basis. For any buyout pursuant to clause (i) or(iii) hereof, the cost must

right to waive any additional rent in excess of$2.5 million on a present
value basis and continue the transaction. The relevant Burdensome

provisions;
Each of the items listed in(i) through (vii) below, if taken by the
Owners without the Investor's consent and if the same causes the

Owners' representations, warranties or covenants;(iii) any replacement

(vii) default under the Head Lease,Sublease or Guarantee, if any. The
Investor shall estimate the tax exposure and the Owners and the
Guarantor may cure the default by providing for payment on an after-
tax basis,for the amount of anv additional Federal income,state and
local taxes that would be payable by the Investor as a result of certain
events including but not limited to the loss of assumed tax benefits.
3. Contest Rights: If the Investor, receives written notice of any action against any affiliate
by the IRS,which,if sustained, would cause a curable default, the
Investor will promptly notify the Owners in writing and, if requested
by the Owners, will contest such action by the IRS (including appeals)
under certain conditions.
Pricing Adjustment Pricing is based upon certain assumptions. There will be appropriate
Head Lease and Sublease Rent Adjustments (up or down) prior to the
Closing Date if the Sublessor determines that as of the Closing Date any
of such assumptions inciuding,but not limited to, Lessor's Cost,
Transaction Expenses,Assumed Tax Benefits,Depreciation
Components, Interest Rate, Basic Lease Commencement Date are other
than as assumed. In all cases the Rent Adjustment will be calculated to
preserve Sublessor's after-tax rate of return and aggregate net after-tax
cash flow (collectively, the Sublessor's"Anticipated Economics") and to
maximize the net present value benefit to the Sublessee in a manner
consistent with the original pricing assumptions. Pricing adjustments
will also include adjustments to the Termination Value schedules
computed on a basis consistent with that used originally in the
calculation of Head Lease and Sublease Rent and Termination Values.
Provided however,should such adjustments cause the net present value
benefit(after payment of all transaction costs)of the transaction to fall
below 4.30%, the Sublessee would have the option to terminate the
transaction before closing by paying all transaction costs.
All Pricing Adjustments will be subject to reasonable agreement.

Re: Engagement, Conflict waiver and
Relationship Matters
Dear 2&.. Bep f
we are pleased to have the opportunity to serve as
attorneys for the San Bs,. rdino International Airport Authority
(the "Authority") . Our firm is committed to providing efficient
and 'responsive legal servicas to our clients in a professional
relationship based on mutual trust, confidentiality, and prompt and
candid communication. In that spirit, this letter sets f orth our
agreement with the Authority regarding the firms billing practices
and related representation and conflict of interact matters.
We will be representing the Authority at the present time
only as to certain matters relating to the lease and lease-back of
certain property controlled by the Authority (the "Subject
Hatter") _ We have not been asked to represent the Authority in
other legal matters at this time. The Authority nay limit or
expand the scope of our representation from time to time, but there
Should be a clear mutual understanding as to any substantial
expansion.
our firm represents eery other companies and individuals
other than the Authority. It is possible that during the time we
are representing the Authority, some of our present cr future
clients will have disputes or transactions with or involving the
Authority. Because our representation of the Authority is limited
in scope to the subject Mattes; we wish to clarify the extent to
which our present representation may affect our ability to
represent other existing or future clients in other legal matters.
In a separate legal matter not involving tt'ze Authority, we may be
asked to represent a client that has an interest that is adverse to
the Authority in our present representation. For example, we
currently represent AIG Financial Products Corp. in a variety of
matters not involving the Authority. We understand that AIG

Financial Products Corp. is likely to be a party to the transaction
to which this letter relates. Alternatively, we may be asked to
represent another client in a legal natter unralatad to our present
representation of the Authority, but with respect 'ta....which the
Authority is an adverse party. For example, we regularly represent..
certain airlines such as United Airlines, USAir and others one or
more of which might seek contractual relationships with the
Authority in the future.
As a condition of our undertaking this matter, the
Authority agrees that we may continue to represent, or may in' the
future represent, AIG Financial Products Corp. and any airlines in
any matter that is not substantially related to our work for the
Authority in the Subject Hatter, even if those,clients, interests
are adverse to the Authority. By executing this letter and
consenting to the arrangements described in it, the Authority will
be era±ving any conflict of interest that might arisa in such a
situation and agreeing not to seek to disqualify us in those
engagements or assert a conflict. For matters not covered' by this
letter,. we would not undertake any representation of a client whose
interests are adverse to those of the Authority in a matter
substantially related to the Subject Matte: except with the written
consent of the Authority or otherwise as contemplated by applicable
ethical principles.
2sA the Authority knows, we may be jointly representing
the County of San Bernardino, the City of San Barnazdino, the City
of Loma Linda and/or the City of Colton and -the Authority in this
matter. Based upon the information available to us at this tine,
we do not believe that representing such parties involves an actual
conflict of interest. Hownvar, a conflict of interest may develop
if the parties, interests become inconsistent or adverse. If that
occurs, wQ will promptly tell the Authority about any such
conflict.
Multiple representation can be both efficient and effec-
tive. However, it involves risks the Authority should assess in
deciding whether to engage us at this time. First, our responsi-
bilities must apply equally to our joint clients, rather 'than
exclusively to one client. Although ve do not presently see actual
or reasonably foreseeable adverse affects of that shared responsi-
bility, issues may arise that affect multiple clients in somewhat
different ways. For example, if one of our joint clients asserts
a claim against the other, or our joint clients give us conflicting
instructions, we may be required to withdraw from representing one
or more of then. Therefore, it is important to understand that our
Joint client responsibilities may directly or indirectly affect our
ability to focus exclusively on the Authority's interests and may
be materially limited by our representation of these other joint
clients.
In addition, during the course of our common represen-
tation of the Authority and such other parties, as well as after

such common representation, any information you share with us will
not be kept confidential from such other partias. In short, the
attorney-client privilege generally will not protect communications
that take place among our joint. clients and us. - This means that
anything tha Authority discloses to us may be disclosed 'to any
other jointly-represented client. Finally, the Authority should be
aware that this information could be used by such other partias
against the Authority if a conflict of interest ever arises.
The Authority should also understand that, if a dispute
or conflict of interest develops between such other parties 'and the
Authority, it is possible that we may be disqualified from
Continuing to represent such other parties and the authority c
jointly. In that event, separate counsel may be -reuired. .
For services rendrstd hereunder, we shall be paid a fee
of $650,000 exclusive of expenses, provided however that if the
transaction is not consusmaated for any reason, we shall be
compensated at a rate of $285 per hour for all attorney hours and
$95 per hour for all legal assistant hours, exclusive of expanses.
This faa is based upon the assumption that the transaction will
close on or before May 31, 1998, and dogs not include litigation
services, If any is required. if the closing is delayed past May
31, 1998, ore will agree on such additional compensation, if any, as
may be appropriate.
We will send tine Authority on a quarterly basis
commencing in May 1998 a statement for progress payments for our
legal fees and expenses On the Authority's behalf. our fees are
determined on the understanding that the Authority Will pay our
statements within 30 days and I urge the Authority to call' ma at
any time it has a question regarding any of our statements. These
quarterly progress payments will be calculated on the basis of the
hourly rates set forth above. Amounts paid pursuant to such
statements will be creditad against the total amount that may
become due her®under.
As far as expenses are concerned, we charge for tzavel
(airfare, lodging, meals, and other incidentals) , database
searches, secretarial overtime when required by the urgency of a '
client's matter, long distance telephone calls, special deliveries,
and other similar items. All such charges are billed at or below
our estimated costs. We also charge for duplicating and facsimile
transmission. These items are currently balled at $. 15 and $1.25
per page, respectively. Our schedule of charges changes from timQ
to time to reflect inflation and other factors. Those" changes
apply prospectively to all mattars than bring handled by the firm.
our engagement, eopfliat and billing practices reflect
o= desire to deal fairly with our clients in this as in all other
aspects of our relationship. We welcome the, opportunity to be

TO: San Bernardino International Airport Authority
FROM: Sabo & Green, a Professional Corporation
DATE: January 14, 1998
RE: Retain Investment Banking Firm and Special Lease
Counsel
BACKGROUND:
SBIAA staff and legal counsel have been working with
representatives of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch") and the law firm of O'Melveny &
Myers since February 1996 in connection with the proposed Lease and
Leaseback financing. It is intended that the SBIAA financing be
modeled after the same form of financing that was successfully
undertaken by the County of San Bernardino and completed in May
1997 .
Merrill Lynch was retained by the County of San
Bernardino to serve as the financial advisor and placement agent
responsible for coordinating all aspects of the financing and for
assembling the participants for the financing which includes the
municipal bond insurance company, investment agreement providers,
appraisers and other attorneys . Additionally, Merrill Lynch would
be responsible for structuring the cash flows of the leases,
advising the SBIAA as to the other financial aspects of the
financing and obtaining and negotiating with the equity investor
for the placement of the lease and financing documents . The fees
of Merrill Lynch would not exceed 20 of the value of the asset
leased to the equity investor and payment of such fees would be
contingent upon the successful closing of the Lease and Leaseback
financing. The proposed agreement with Merrill Lynch would
terminate on June 30, 1998, and could be terminated earlier by the
SBIAA for any reason upon 30 days' prior written notice .
The law firm of O'Melveny & Myers was previously retained
by the County of San Bernardino to serve as special lease financing
counsel to the County for the previous Lease and Leaseback
financing as completed by the County. O'Melveny & Myers will be
responsible for drafting of all leasing documents, reviewing of
SBIA\0001\DOC\301
1\13\98 10:18 km
California real estate matters and providing the necessary federal
income tax opinions in connection with the tax advantages to be
derived by the equity investor from this form of financing . The
legal fees are based upon an hourly rate in the event the financing
does not close for any reason whatsoever, and the legal fees,
exclusive of reimbursable expenses, shall be equal to $650, 000 only
upon the successful closing of the financing. O'Melveny & Myers
also has requested that said law firm would be able to continue to
represent certain other clients in matters that could possibly be
adverse to the SBIAA but not in a matter that is substantially
related to the Lease and Leaseback financing.
The proposals from both firms are substantially similar
to those as were previously approved by the County of San
Bernardino in connection with the financing as undertaken by the
County in May, 1997 . The fees that are payable to these firms and
the other attorneys and consultants to the various parties will be
paid from the gross available proceeds of the financing. The $10M
to $15M amounts that have been quoted as potentially being
available to the SBIAA from this financing has always been
considered as a dollar figure that is net of all costs of the
transaction including the Merrill Lynch fees and the O'Melveny &
Myers legal fees .
ACTION:
Motion to approve the retaining of Merrill Lynch and
O' Melveny & Myers and authorize the preparation of appropriate
agreements by SBIAA staff and legal counsel and authorize the
execution thereof by the President and Secretary of the SBIAA.

OF POWERS AGREEMENT TO CONFIRM THE MEMBERSHIP AND
VOTING STRUCTURE OF THE SBIAA (CONTINUED FROM JANUARY

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct staff to commence the preparation and distribution for review and approval by the Board
of Supervisors and the City Councils of the Cities of Colton, Loma Linda and San Bernardino of
a Restated and Amended Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement including the same title of

Development Agency.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
At the Board Meeting of January 14, 1998, the City of Highland was granted a two-week
extension to confirm their membership in the Airport Authority.
After the City of Highland advises whether or not they will remain a member of the Airport
Authority, Mr. Tim Sabo, Agency Attorney, will prepare either an amendment to the Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement to include the same title of officers, voting structure and
appointment of individuals as exists for the Inland Valley Development Agency or an action for
each City Council and the Board of Supervisors to ratify the continued membership of the City
of Highland in the Airport Authority.

ITEM No. 21
STAFF REPORT
TO: San Bernardino International Airport Authority
FROM: Sabo & Green, a Professional Corporation
DATE: January 14, 1998
RE: Approval to Commence the Preparation and
Distribution of a Restated and Amended Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement to Confirm the
Membership and Voting Structure of the SBIAA
BACKGROUND:
The proposed Lease and Leaseback financing will require
the Board of Supervisors and the City Councils for the Cities of
Colton, Loma Linda and San Bernardino to re-adopt the Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement that initially established the SBIAA
in 1992 . This proposed action will enable the members of the
financing team for the Lease and Leaseback financing to have access
to a single legal document that confirms the current membership of
the SBIAA. This is especially important since the departure of the
Cities of Highland and Redlands from the SBIAA membership.
The SBIAA is presented with an opportunity to restructure
the voting membership and individual participation within the SBIAA
to be identical with that of the IVDA while at the same time
accomplishing the restructuring of the SBIAA. It is proposed that
the officers, official duties and responsibilities and the
appointment of the individuals serving on both the IVDA and SBIAA
be virtually identical for further streamlining the administrative
functions of the IVDA and the SBIAA. This proposal would also
require that the individuals appointed by the Board of Supervisors
and each City Council to the SBIAA would be the same individuals
who are appointed to the IVDA.
Even though the previous Settlement Agreement entered
into by the IVDA in 1992 with the Cities of Highland and Redlands
and the East Valley Association remains in effect, such
restructuring of the SBIAA by adopting the Restated and Amended
Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement is not intended to in any manner
violate the provisions of the Settlement Agreement . The proposed
restructuring of the governing body of the SBIAA together with the
previous actions of both the SBIAA and the IVDA to consolidate
SBIA\0001\D0C\299
1\13\98 10:22 km
sta f=ing functions and adopt a single organizational structure will
provide further efficiencies to the local reuse efforts for the
former NAFB properties whether the property in question is
controlled by the SBIP.A or the IVDA.
The IVDA and the SBIAA will retain their unique legal
existence and identities as separate and distinct joint powers
authorities . It is the intent of SBIAA staff to carefully
distincuish the redevelopment and tax increment revenue powers of
the IVDA from the aviation and Airport ownership functions of the
SBI�.A. This is necessary for maintaining the integri=y of the IVDA
and SBIAA in furtherance of the federally approved transfers of the
Airport by the FAA to the SBIAA and the transfer of the Palm
Meadows Golf Course and the Economic Development Conveyance
properties from the Air Force to the IVDA.
ACTION:
Motion to direct staff to commence preparation and
distribution for review and approval by the Board of Supervisors
and the City Councils of the Cities of Colton, Loma Linda and San
Bernardino of a Restated and Amended Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement including the same title of officers, voting structure
and appointment of individuals as exists for the Inland Valley
Development Agency.

for the use and benefit of the public on fair and
reasonable terms, without unjust discrimination. In
furtherance of this covenant (but without limiting its
general applicability and effect) , the GRANTEE
specifically agrees: (1) that it will keep the Airport
open to all types, kinds, and classes of aeronautical
use without discrimination among such types, kinds and
classes. However, the GRANTEE may establish such fair,
equal, and not unjustly discriminatory conditions to be
met by all users of the Airport as may be necessary for
its safe and efficient operation. Furthermore, the
GRANTEE may prohibit or limit any given type, kind, or
class of aeronautical use of the Airport if such action
is necessary for the safe operation of the Airport or
necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the
public; (2) in its operation and the operation of
facilities on the Airport, neither the GRANTEE or any
person or organization occupying space or facilities
thereupon, will discriminate against any person or class
of persons by reason of race, color, creed, or national
origin in the use of any of the facilities provided for
the public at the Airport; (3) in any agreement,
contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a
right or privilege at the Airport is granted by the
GRANTEE to any person, firm or corporation to conduct or
engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing
services to the public at the Airport, the GRANTEE will
insert and enforce provisions requiring such person:
(a) to furnish service on a fair, equal and not unjustly
discriminatory basis to all users; and (b) to charge
fair, reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory prices
for each unit for service, ,provided, that the contractor
may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory
discounts, rebates, or other similar types of price
reductions to volume purchasers; (4) that the GRANTEE
will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which
would operate to prevent any person, firm, or
corporation operating aircraft on the Airport from

performing any services on its own aircraft with its own
employees (including, but not limited to maintenance and
repair) that it may choose to perform; and (5) in the
event the GRANTEE itself exercises any of the rights and
privileges referred to in subsection (3) above, the
services involved must be provided on the same
conditions that would apply to the furnishing of such
services by contractors or concessionaires of the
GRANTEE under the provisions of such subsection (3) of
PART V (4) of this Deed.
[A-16] (5) The GRANTEE will not grant or permit any prohibited
Exclusive Right for the use of the Airport by any person
or persons to the exclusion of others in the same class,
and will otherwise comply with all applicable laws . In
furtherance of this covenant (but without limiting its
general applicability and effect) , the GRANTEE
specifically agrees that, unless authorized by the
Administrator, it will not, either directly or
indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm or
corporation an Exclusive Right to conduct any
aeronautical activity on the Airport including but not
limited to, charter flights, pilot training, aircraft
rental and sight-seeing, aerial photography, crop
dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier
operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of
aviation petroleum products whether or not conducted in
conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and
maintenance of aircraft, sale of aircraft parts, and any
other activities which because of their direct
relationship to the operation of aircraft can be
regarded as an aeronautical activity. The GRANTEE
further agrees that it will terminate as soon as
possible and no later than the earliest renewal,
cancellation, or expiration date applicable thereto, any
prohibited Exclusive Right existing at any airport owned
or controlled by the GRANTEE or hereafter acquired and
that thereafter no such prohibited Exclusive Right shall
be granted. However, nothing contained in this PART V
shall be construed to prohibit the granting by the
GRANTEE or exercise of an exclusive right for the
furnishing of non-aviation products and supplies or any
services of a non-aeronautical nature or to obligate the
GRANTEE to furnish any particular non-aeronautical
service at the Airport.

[A-18] (6) The GRANTEE will operate and maintain in a safe and
serviceable condition, as deemed reasonably necessary by
the Administrator, the Airport, other than facilities
owned or controlled by the UNITED STATES, and the
GRANTEE will not permit any activity thereon which would
interfere with its use for Airport Purposes. Nothing
contained in this PART V shall be construed to require
(1) that the Airport be operated for aeronautical uses
during temporary periods when snow, flood, or other
climatic conditions interfere with such operation and
maintenance, or (2) the repair, restoration or
replacement of any structure or facility which is
substantially damaged or destroyed by virtue of an act
of God or other condition or circumstances beyond the
control of the GRANTEE.
[A-23] (7) The GRANTEE will: (1) furnish the Administrator with
annual or special Airport financial and operational
reports as may be reasonably requested using either
forms furnished by the Administrator or in such manner
as it elects so long as the essential data are
furnished; and (2) upon reasonable request of the
Administrator, make available for inspection by the
Administrator all non-privileged and non-confidential
public records and documents affecting the Property, the
Airport and the Landing Area, including deeds, leases of
land, or leases of land and buildings or structures on
SBIAA Record of Survey Parcels B-1 through B-4,
inclusive, Airport operation and use agreements, Airport
regulations, and other instruments and will furnish to
the Administrator a true copy of any such document which
may be reasonably requested.
[A-24] (8) The GRANTEE will not enter into any action which would
operate to deprive it of any of the rights and powers
necessary to perform or comply with any or all of the
covenants and conditions set forth in this Deed unless
by such transaction the obligation to perform or comply
with all such covenants and conditions is assumed by
another public agency found by the Administrator to be
eligible as a public agency as defined in the Airport
and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended, to
assume such obligation and have the power, authority,
and financial resources to carry out all such
obligations . If an arrangement is made for management
or operation of the Airport by any agency or person
other than the GRANTEE, the GRANTEE shall reserve
sufficient rights and authority to insure that the
Landing Area and the Airport will be operated and

together with the boundaries of the Property and all
off-site areas owned or controlled by the GRANTEE for
use for Airport Purposes and proposed additions thereto;
(2) the location and nature of all existing and proposed
Airport facilities and structures (such as runways,
taxi-ways, aprons, terminal buildings, hangars, and
roads) , including all proposed extensions and reductions
of existing Airport facilities; and (3) the location
of all existing and proposed non-aviation uses of land
or land and buildings on SBIAA Record of Survey Parcel
B-1 through B-4, inclusive and other areas on the
Property and all existing improvements thereon and uses
made thereof. Each amendment, revision or modification
of the Airport Layout Plan, shall be subject to the
approval of the Administrator which approval shall be
evidenced by the signature of the Administrator (or a
duly authorized representative of the Administrator) on
the face of such amendment to the Airport Layout Plan.
The GRANTEE will not make or permit the making of any
change or alteration in the Airport or any of its
facilities other than in conformity with the Airport
Layout Plan as so approved by the Administrator, if such
change or alteration might adversely affect the safety,
utility, or efficiency of the Airport.
[A-26] (10) If at any time it is determined by the Administrator
that there is any outstanding right or claim of right in
or to the Property, the existence of which creates an
undue risk of interference with the operation of the
Airport or the performance or compliance by the GRANTEE
with any covenant of the GRANTEE for the benefit of the
UNITED STATES under this Deed, the GRANTEE will, to the
extent practicable following receipt of written notice
from the Administrator, acquire, extinguish, or modify
such right or claim of right in a manner acceptable to
the Administrator.
[A-29] (11) The GRANTEE covenants that: (A) the GRANTEE will comply
with all requirements imposed by or pursuant to the
regulations of the United States Department of
Transportation as in effect on the date of this Deed

the provisions of such regulations; (C) the GRANTEE will
promptly take and continue to take such action as may be
necessary to effectuate this covenant; (D) the UNITED
STATES acting by or through either the Administrator or
the Attorney General of the United States shall have the
right to seek judicial enforcement of this covenant at
law or at equity; and (E) the GRANTEE will: (1) obtain
from any person, including any legal entity, who,
through contractual or other arrangements with the
GRANTEE is authorized to provide services or benefits,
a written agreement pursuant to which such entity shall,
with respect to such services or benefits which he or
she is authorized to provide, undertake for himself the
same obligations as those imposed upon the GRANTEE by
this covenant; and (2) furnish a copy of the original of
such agreement to the Administrator upon request.
[A-19] (12) The GRANTEE will make the Airport available to the
UNITED STATES and any instrumentality or agency of the
UNITED STATES, at all times without charge for the
landing and taking off of aircraft of the UNITED STATES,
except that if such use of the Airport by aircraft of
any agency or instrumentality of the UNITED STATES in
comparison with the common use by the general public of
aircraft at the Airport is or becomes substantial after
the date of this Deed, a reasonable share, proportional
to such use, of the cost of operating and maintaining
facilities so used by the UNITED STATES, may be charged
by the GRANTEE. Unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator (or unless specifically provided after the
date of this Deed pursuant to a separate landing
agreement between the GRANTEE and any agency of the
UNITED STATES) substantial use of the Airport by
aircraft of the UNITED STATES for landing and taking off
will be considered to exist when operations of such
aircraft exceed those which, in the opinion of the
Administrator, would unduly interfere with use of the
Landing Area by other authorized aircraft, or that
during any calendar month: (1) either five (5) or more
aircraft of any agency of the UNITED STATES are
regularly based at the Airport or on land of the UNITED
STATES adjacent thereto; or (2) the total number of
movements (counting each landing as a movement and each
takeoff as a movement) of aircraft of the UNITED STATES
is three hundred (300) or more; or (3) the gross
accumulative weight of aircraft of the UNITED STATES
using the Airport (the total movements of such federal
aircraft multiplied by gross certified weights thereof)
is in excess of five million (5, 000, 000) pounds.

[A-20] (13) During a national emergency declared by the President or
by Congress, the UNITED STATES is entitled to use,
control, or possess the Airport for the landing or
taking off of aircraft, provided however, the UNITED
STATES shall pay to the GRANTEE: (i) the entire cost of
maintaining the part of the Airport it exclusively uses,
controls or possesses during the emergency; and (ii)
contribute a reasonable share, consistent with the part
of the Airport it uses, controls or possesses on a non-
exclusive basis during the emergency; and (iii) pay to
the GRANTEE a fair rental for use, control, or
possession of improvements and buildings on the Airport
during the emergency.
[A-22] (14) Upon the written request of the Administrator, the

one or more sites on the Airport for construction,
operation and maintenance by the UNITED STATES of
facilities for air traffic control activities, or
weather reporting activities or communication activities
related to air traffic control as the Administrator may
designate; provided however that the GRANTEE shall not
be compelled to furnish any site to the UNITED STATES
for such a purpose if the site is not shown on the
current Airport Layout Plan as an FAA site, or if the
delivery of the site to the UNITED STATES would displace
the use or occupancy of the site by a third person under
a separate agreement with the GRANTEE which either
predates such notice of the Administrator or which
predates the then current Airport Layout Plan. The
GRANTEE will make available such areas or any portion
thereof for the purposes provided in this PART V (14 ) ,
within one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt
of written request from the Administrator.
[A-39] (15) The GRANTEE covenants and agrees that it shall cooperate

access by the UNITED STATES of any portion of Reserved
Interest Area and the performance by the UNITED STATES
of any duty or obligation of the UNITED STATES on, upon
or under the surface of any portion of the Property, or
on upon or under the surface of any portion of the
Reserved Interest Area as may be necessary under PART
IV(4) of this Deed. Furthermore, the GRANTEE shall not
disrupt any remediation activity of the UNITED STATES or
jeopardize the effectiveness of any remedy by engaging
in disruptive activities on the Property, including but
not limited to, surface application of water which could

the GRANTEE from wells located on the Property, unless
the UNITED STATES acting by and through the Secretary of
the Air Force has first determined in writing addressed
to the GRANTEE that there will be no adverse impact on
the remediation activity of the UNITED STATES.
(16) The GRANTEE may hereafter enter into one or more leases
of land or land and buildings for Airport Purposes for
the exclusive possession by non-aviation industrial,
retail or commercial business entities affecting any of
the areas of the Property generally identified as SBIAA
Record of Survey Parcel B-1 through B-4, inclusive, and
as an incident to any such lease or other instrument
creating a possessory interest, the GRANTEE may
authorize the development, modification, improvement or
construction of a building or structure on such portion
of Property without prior consultation or notice to the
Administrator; provided however, the GRANTEE shall
include within each such lease a suitable reference and
notice of the provisions of this Deed, as applicable.
[A-49] (17) The GRANTEE, its successors, assigns and transferees
covenant that in its and their use and occupancy of the
Property the GRANTEE shall comply with all Federal,
State, and local laws relating to asbestos for which the
GRANTEE acknowledges and agrees that the UNITED STATES
retains no liability.

acknowledges its obligation to comply with the Act,
including without limitation, the obligation of the
GRANTEE to consult and mitigate, and to comply with the
Conservation Management Plan established by the UNITED
STATES for the former Norton AFB ("CMP") in furtherance
of the use of the Property for Airport Purposes and the

GRANTEE further acknowledges the right of the United
States Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service

REPOMRECOM M ENDATION TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
AND RECORD OF ACTION
March 17, 1998
FROM: MICHAEL E. NUBY, Director
Redevelopment Programs
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO TO ACCEPT TITLE TO THE
SAN BERNARDINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
RECOMMENDATION: That the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors:
1) Approve the concept of accepting the title to the San Bernardino International Airport at a
later date.
2) Authorize the preparation of all necessary lease and lease-back financing documents,
subject to review and approval of all final documents by County Counsel, and subject to final
approval by the Board of Supervisors.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The San Bernardino International Airport Authority ("SBIAA'
has decided to participate in a lease and lease-back financing similar to that completed by the
County in 1997- The SBIAA has retained the same financing team as was retained by the
County to work with the SBIAA to accomplish a similar financing transaction.
On January 14, 1998, the SBIAA requested that each Member take action to formally accept or
reject the concept of holding title to the San Bernardino International Airport. The financing
team has determined that the structure of the joint powers agreement establishing the SBIAA
would not provide the equity investor with the type of financial assurances required to
successfully conclude the intended lease and lease-back financing_ The credit of the County of
San Bernardino will be required to accomplish this financing by the County holding title to the
Airport facilities and executing similar documentation as was executed by the County for the
County lease and lese-back financing in 1997.
It is expected that the SBIAA lease and lease-back financing will generate between $10M and
$ISM of net available funds to the SBIAA for the repayment of the outstanding loans as
previously made by each Member, payment of the ongoing operating deficits of the SBIAA,
repayment of a portion of the amount owed to the IVDA, and funds to pay additional capital
improvements requirements of the SBIAA.

PROPOSAL FOR COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO TO ACCEPT TITLE TO THE SAN
BERNARDINO INTERNA'T'IONAL AIRPORT
March 17, 1999
Page 2 of 2
The proposed transfer deed from the Air Force for the Airport properties is presently being
prepared and,reviewed by the Air Force, the Federal Aviation Administration and staff of the
SBIAA. It is expected that the title transfer could be accomplished by the end of March, 1998.
The present time schedule would provide funds from the lease and lease-back financing by the
end of April, 1998.
The proposed action by the Board of Supervisors is merely to provide an approval in concept as
to whether or not the County is willing to accept title to the San Bernardino International Airport
and to execute the necessary lease and lease-back financing documents at a later date. This
action is not intended to bind the County, but is merely to provide direction to the financing team
as to the preparation of documents and the marketing to intended equity investors. All final
documents for the lease and lease-back financing and the title transfer documents will be
presented to the Board of Supervisors at a later date for consideration.

• The San Bernardino International Airport (SBIA) is a multi-purpose airport including
air carrier, air cargo, heavy aircraft maintenance and general aviation.
• As of February 1998, Casino Express began service with B-737's (a Part-121 carrier).
The SBIA also has pending service promises from other passenger carriers. The
completion of the new terminal building has been key to this air carrier service. The
SBIA has completed a $3.5 million parallel taxiway project. The airport once again
accommodates Custom Air Transport, a Part-121 cargo carrier from Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida, which flies B-737's five days per week. Service was suspended for
construction.
• SBIA receives non-scheduled air cargo service from Heavylift Air Cargo (Russian
AN-124) once per month with shipments from Hughes Aircraft to Russia.
• SBIA tenant, Santa Barbara Aerospace, has 200 mechanics on staff and does heavy
aircraft maintenance and painting for airline customers. Santa Barbara does major
maintenance on heavy aircraft such as B-747's and other wide-bodied jets. The SBIA
has already expended over $700,000 modifying the hangar environment and other
systems to accommodate Santa Barbara Aerospace, but could not afford roof repair.
By the end of 1998, Santa Barbara expects to employ 600 mechanics and turn-out one
aircraft per week. A hangar roof repair project is currently underway and near
completion which will remediate the roof situation at both the Santa Barbara
Aerospace facility and at the SBIA hangars as well.
• SBIA's general aviation is very active on the East end of the airport. There are
approximately 30,000 operations per year, two flight schools, 18 based aircraft, two
avionics shops, an engineer repair station, fuel and full services for corporate aircraft,
and a Part-135 operator.
• SBIA is becoming the dispatch center for the United States Forest Service fire tanker
bombers. Area fires have caused heavy use of the airport this year.

invest the proceeds as SBIAA reserves and apply the interest
earnings for support of operating deficits (issue - will the County

financial risk of the financing).
