B.Hangar Rental Policy Discussion (Commercial definition): Keep two lists for commercial and non-commercial hangars. The commercial list will have priority when a hanger becomes available.

Definition: Commercial hanger is anything we charge per square foot.
 
C.Hangar Inspection & non-complying use: A copy of the inspections were emailed to the tenant and to Skinner. Re-inspections will be in early December.
