Tie Down Lease Agreements
Dear Fellow Pilots,
To those of you subject to the newly issued lease agreement covering tie downs and shade hangars, the Board of the Clark County Aviation Association has recommended that you not sign the agreement until such time as the Department of Aviation has reviewed our concerns and CCAA has had the opportunity to have the agreement reviewed by our legal counsel.
The above is a direct result of a Board meeting this past Tuesday, which included a full discussion with Cecil Johnson, Assistant Director for General Aviation and Ben Czyzewski, Airport Manager VGT of CCAA Member and Non-Member specific concerns involving each of the airports under the Department of Aviation.
By way of example of our concerns although not the only one by any means is the indemnity clause aptly numbered as Section 8 which reads as follows:
Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold County forever harmless from and against all liability, loss, demand judgments or other expense, including, but not limited to, defense costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney fees, imposed upon the County by reason of injuries or death of persons, including wrongful death, and damages to property cause during and because of Tenant?s use or occupancy of Airport property or the Premises or any actions or non-action of Tenant, its officers, employees, agents, guests, or other representatives, including movement of aircraft or vehicles, provided. however, that such indemnity will not apply as to any negligent act or omission solely that of County, its employees, agents or representatives.
We urge you to follow the CCAA recommendation. Please remember that this document affects all of the General Aviation airports under the jurisdiction of the Department of Aviation.
Thank you for your support.
David Lerner, President
Clark County Aviation Association
