After more than a year of back-and-forth negotiations and delays, the ink is now dry on a lease agreement before the Sedona Fire District and the Sedona-Oak Creek Airport Authority.
The lease agreement, which was signed by both parties and approved by the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors — which owns the airport land that the SOCAA manages — on Wednesday, July 21, is for a cell tower that is owned by the fire district sitting on airport property.
“I believe all parties have arrived at a fair and reasonable agreement,” Airport Manager Ed Rose said. “My thanks to Chief Jon Trautwein, the Sedona Fire Board, Jack Fields and the Sedona-Oak Creek Airport Authority Board for their efforts in marshalling the lease through the process.”
