For background, I’ve previously described the dispute between Landing Gear Works and the City of Renton here.
I was recently copied on an email that Landing Gear Works President Tom Anderson wrote to the Renton City Attorney’s office.
In the email Mr. Anderson explains he just received a formal 3-day notice to pay or vacate on leases that cover two of his small airplane hangers. (He has also received a separate notice for another lease that covers his two other buildings, and one of those buildings is the subject of the ongoing roof-repair dispute).
Since his small hanger leases are not in dispute, he went to the Airport Management office and made payment in full for these leases, per the three-day notice. He said he had been trying to pay on these particular hangers since November of 2023, but the city kept lumping his payments together with his other leased building, and this 3-day notice finally separated the payments on the distinct leases. His payments were marked “received” by Airport Office personnel.
But following receipt, the Airport Manager was contacted by his staff via phone, and he directed his staff to return the payments to Mr. Anderson. This prompted the email to the Renton City Attorney.
