have a need for the full use of the Ames facility for up to 24 months;and,

VisionAire Corporation to sublet for two years(thru December 31,2001)the buildings they currently rent at the Airport is hereby
approved with the following six stipulations:

become incompatible with the Airport operations.
2. Each and every sublease shall be consistent with city zoning,building codes,fire safety codes,electrical codes,
plumbing codes,and any other applicable city,state,and federal regulations and shall vest the City with the

are or become a violation of city zoning,building codes,fire safety codes,electrical codes,plumbing codes,
or any other city,state,or federal regulations.
3. A decision by the City Manager or his designee to deny or withhold approval of a proposed sublease of the
said buildings may be appealed for resolution by the City Council.

terminated if the FAA objects to the subleasing of said buildings at the Airport.
