��+c+.ucunrs,
Mr. William Ter Keurst of Dade Helicopter Services, a business operating
out of the Watson Island Heliport, has requested the City's consideration
in leasing the Goodyear building and grounds to Dade Helicopters.
Currently Dade has office, storage and light maintenance facilities at
Opa-Locka Airport, however, their current lease expires in October,
with no possibility of renewal at that location.
Simultaneously, Dade Helicopters is .responding to the City's request for
proposal for a heliport facility at Miami's Marine Stadium anticipating
the opportunity to eventually locate there.
The City has a continuing lease agreement with Goodyear and the right
under that agreement to assign the lease upon the agreement of both
parties.
Mr. Ter Keurst has obtained Goodyear's agreement to allow the City to
assign the lease to Dade Helicopters if the City will release Goodyear
of all furthur responsibility.
Additionally the assignment of this lease will require approval of the
State of Florida Board of Trustees. The request to the State will be
submitted for Cabinet approval upon Commission determination.
Dade Helicopter Services, Inc. has been a tenant of the City of Miami
at the Watson island Heliport facility for approximately five years and
has always been totally responsive to the City insofar as its aviation
needs have been concerned - including the police dept., fire dept.,
publicity and promotion, executive charter and transfer, survey and
observation during the recent civil disturbance. It has in fact,
delivered to the City of Miami so far in the calendar year of 1980 in
excess of $9,000.00 worth of helicopter services and it has also been
the recipient of awards from the City of Miami for its services.
