Dear Mr. Steven R. Rosko:
On behalf of Corona Executive Hangars (CEH), we have received your request to the City of Corona (City) to consent to the transfer of lease agreements for Parcel IV and V (Premises).
CEH entered into the LEASE AGREEMENT with the City of Corona for Parcel IV and V on August 17, 2011.
In furtherance of CEH's request, City staff commenced several due diligence efforts earlier this year. Staff met with members of Flight Ventures USA (FV-USA), prospective assignee, reviewed their proposal and notified the US Army Corps of Engineers of this request, as all material changes at the airport require their approval. Additional due diligence efforts include a full onsite inspection of the Premises to ensure CE has met its lease obligations in accordance with Section 7 USES and Section 9 MAINTENANCE.
Inspections of the Premises were conducted on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, from 7:30am to 12:30pm, and Wednesday, April 13, 2022, from 7:30am to 11:00am. City staff was accompanied by FV-USA during the entirety of inspection. Inspection findings were made and corrective action is required in accordance with the findings outlined in this notice.
The lists of deficiencies provided in this notice are intended to demonstrate samples of non- aviation findings made during the inspection. Please be advised that in furtherance of your request to transfer the lease, corrective measures are required to remediate the deficiencies found in hangars. It is staff's understanding that FV-USA is willing to assume responsibility of some maintenance repairs needed, such as the pavement and striping rehabilitation throughout the Premises, including the Tie-Down areas. Staff is willing to recommend deferring these Maintenance matters to FV-USA assuming the consent to transfer is approved by the City Council, however, be advised while CEH holds the lease interest, it is their responsibility to comply with all lease terms including all items listed in this notice. 1 Z: \Airport\Master Lease Holders\Corona Executive Hangars\Inspections\April 2022\Inspection Report & Notice to CEH - FINAL DRAFT.docx
Upon reviewing this entire notice and inspection findings, create a remediation plan and remediation schedule, and provide it to me for review. We will work with you as you take action to remediate deficiencies.
The list of findings starts on page 3 of this notice.
If you have any questions, and to coordinate follow-up inspections, please contact me directly via telephone at (951) 739-4963 or email at [email protected].
Thank you,
Cynthia Lara
