SUMMARY: The FAA hereby provides notice of intent to execute an
agreement with the City of Pompano Beach, Florida, to formally release
certain airport properties, 295.7 acres, at the Pompano Beach Airpark,
Pompano Beach, FL from the conditions, reservations, and restrictions
as contained in a Quitclaim Deed agreement between the FAA and the City
of Pompano Beach, dated August 29, 1947, and correctional Quitclaim
Deed dated December 18, 1947, and supplemental Quitclaim Deed dated
June 24, 1948; and approve interim non-aeronautical uses for certain
other airport properties, 250 acres, at the Pompano Beach Airpark,
Pompano Beach, FL. The release of property from the conditions,
reservations, and restrictions as contained in the Quitclaim Deed
agreements will allow the City of Pompano Beach to make a one-time
payment, per parcel being formally released, to the Airport Capital
Improvement Fund to permit use of the properties for municipal purposes
without further compensation to the airport. The City will make
periodic deposits into the fund until there are adequate funds to make
a one-time payment per parcel. Compensation for each property will be
provided in this manner. For parcels being used for interim, non-
aeronautical purposes, the City will compensate the airport based on
current fair market rental value. Revenues produced by interim uses
will be deposited into a separate Airport Enterprise Fund. These funds
must be used for airport purposes.
The property is located in the City of Pompano Beach, Broward
County, Florida. The parcels are currently designated as both
aeronautical and non-aeronautical uses. The properties to be formally
released to the City of Pompano Beach are expected to remain municipal
uses. FAA has agreed that the property value for the formal releases
will be determined through historical appraisals of lands based on the
year they were developed for municipal use. Interest will be assessed
on each property in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(o) at a fixed rate
from the date the property was converted to a non-aeronautical,
municipal use to the date the city makes its one-time payment to the
Airport Capital Improvement Fund. Funds received through the release of
airport properties will be subsequently reinvested in airport capital
improvements, as mutually agreed upon by the FAA and the City.
Documents reflecting the Sponsor's request and the draft agreement
are available, by appointment only, for inspection at the City of
Pompano Beach municipal offices and the FAA Orlando Airports District
Office.

airport land for an aeronautical purpose if the Secretary decides it is
necessary to protect or advance the interests of the United States in
civil aviation or for national defense.
