In order to construct the final leg of Taxiway Bravo at the Spanish Fork Municipal Airport, the City needs to acquire the property located at 3226 N. 1150 W. The property currently contains a veterinary clinic that is leased to an existing tenant.

The purchase price will be paid in three interest-free installments: $500,000 at closing, $500,000 by July 1, 2027 or when the current tenant leaves (whichever occurs first), and $450,000 by January 15, 2028. Title to the property will transfer to the City at closing upon payment of the first $500,000. At closing, the City will also provide the seller with a promissory note for the remaining $950,000.
The seller has requested the ability to continue the existing lease with the veterinary clinic following closing. Under the proposed lease-back agreement, the City will lease the property back to the seller for $1.00, allowing the existing tenant to remain until the earlier of termination of the tenant's lease or December 31, 2027. During the lease-back period, the seller will remain responsible for utilities, property taxes, maintenance, and other applicable expenses.
