Background Information: This Supplemental Agreement will extend a Lease Agreement with the FAA retroactive from October 1, 2004 to September 30, 2008 for a maximum of four additional one-year terms. The Supplemental Agreement will allow the City additional time to complete the Virginia Key Master Plan and to review the appropriateness of future lease extensions for this VORTAC facility and rent. A similar Supplemental Agreement was brought before the City Commission in March 2005 but was deferred pending resolution of the environmental study related to noise being undertaken by the Noise Abatement Task Force. The recommendations of the Task Force were ultimately accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration in a Finding of No Significant Impact issued on May 24, 2006. According to the Miami -Dade Aviation Department, most of the recommendations have since been implemented by the FAA Miami Air Traffic Control Tower. The main changes that resulted from the implementation is a decrease in the number of flights over the residential areas located east of the Miami International Airport with aircraft being directed to the greatest extent possible west of the airport, over industrial areas.
