MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 1, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager
RE: Tri-City Airport Authority
Since our West Orange Summit meeting approximately 30 days ago, the City of Winter
Garden has taken the lead in receiving permission to have one more year of air space
available to us for the proposed location of an airport in the West Orange area. The
three cities have continued to meet on this issue and it was determined that the best
way to go would be to recreate the Tri-City Airport Authority that was first formed in
1968 and request the current funds given to GOAA in 1982 be given back to our newly
formed authority.
Our Mayor is particularly knowledgeable in this area and can discuss this with more
detail. Attached you will see an original report and a requested resolution that
reactivates the Tri-City Airport Authority and asked that each city appoint three
members to discuss future plans of a general aviation airport in the West Orange area.
Respectfully sub .itted,

Dear Ellis:
Please find attached a copy of documents related to the Tri-City Airport Authority that are being
transferred to you for your council's action. On pages two and three of the attached documents, you
will find a draft resolution that should be presented to your council for action. This resolution
reactivates the Tri-County Airport Authority, which was originally formed in 1968 by ordinances
adopted by Apopka, Ocoee, and Winter Garden. Copies of these ordinances are also attached on
pages 9 through 21.
As you are aware, in 1982, the Tri-City Airport Authority, in conjunction with the Florida
Department of Transportation and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA), transferred
funds as well as responsibility for developing the West Orange Airport to GOAA. These documents
are contained in pages four through eight. This agreement was subsequently extended several times
with the last extension approved November of 1997.
Based on GOAA's final report issued recently, GOAA indicated they no longer wished to participate
in the development of a reliever airport and did not think one was warranted. However, GOAA did
feel a general aviation airport was needed. The attached proposed resolution reactivates the Tri-City
Airport Authority and requests the City of Winter Garden to appoint three members to meet and
discuss the future plans of the general aviation airport in the West Orange County area.

Letter to Mr. Shapiro
September 29, 1998
Page two
The final decision to proceed with an airport will come directly from the cities and would be
continued upon the approval of the individual city councils at regular council meetings in the future.
The Tri-City Airport Authority only has permission to spend up to $10,000 without the councils'
approval and the only funds they would have available are any funds that are to be transferred back
from GOAA from the remaining funds they have in custody.
If you have any questions concerning the above, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
