The Daily News is to be commended for recognizing the problems in trying to change the airport lease.
Legal obligations related to the lease between the Naples Municipal Airport and the city of Naples are based on federal regulations long in place and universally applied.
The Naples Airport Authority members have no options here but to uphold their oath of office to obey the laws.
Changing authority members does not change this responsibility to the law.
All this ground has been gone over several times before. Every few years some uninformed newcomer gets the “great” idea to increase revenues for the city, and perhaps serve his personal agenda.
The city attorney would be well advised to review Airport and Airways Improvement Act of 1982, Public Law 102-122, and Grant Agreements Special Assurances before he gets City Council members to “rise to the bait.”
Hopefully, City Council gets all the facts on other matters before they come to conclusions.
