Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for the City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance approving a new master Airport Terminal Office Lease Agreement and to authorize the City Manager to enter into new and renewal leases for Airport terminal office suites at the Glendale Municipal Airport (Airport).
body
Background
The Airport leases office space in the terminal building to private individuals and companies. In recent years, non-aviation companies have expressed interest in leasing available space. The Airport has an existing Master Lease Agreement Template for Airport Terminal office Suites approved by City Council January 25, 2011, but the template is in need of updates and revisions as it limited office leases to commercial aviation activities.
Analysis
The new master Airport Terminal Office Lease Agreement is for the rental of the office only and removes the references for commercial aviation activities. The commercial aviation activities will be authorized with the Specialized Aviation Service Operator (SASO) master agreement template. This agreement template also incorporates all the required Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) language as well as the required insurance language provided by Risk Management.
The Airport terminal currently has a vacancy rate of approximately 30%. Updating the master Airport Terminal Office Lease Agreement will enable the Airport to expand the potential pool of lessors and maximize the rentable space.
Previous Related Council Action
