PREVIOUS
ACTION: On August 5,
2002, Ordinance was introduced by City Council, and Staff was instructed to
proceed. BACKGROUND: In order to facilitate the leasing of
property and help maximize revenues to the Airport, the following terms and
conditions will be addressed in the proposed Ordinance: a.
Lease term shall not exceed ninety (90) days, b.
Rent charged shall be fair market rents, c.
Lessee shall pay, in advance, the rent, plus deposit, d.
Lessee provide proof of liability insurance and naming the City of
Laredo as a co-insured prior to
occupancy of the premises, e.
That the Lessee agree to indemnify the City of Laredo from any
liability resulting from Lessee’s use and
occupancy of the premises, f.
Lessee compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws,
ordinance, regulations in regards to
the use and occupancy of the leased premises, and g.
Any other condition, as may be deemed appropriate by the City Manager. From time to time the airport receives a request to lease an airport facility for an event ranging from one day to 60 to 90 days. The proposed ordinance would enable the City Manager to execute a short-term lease. For example Laredo Candle Company 60-day lease, the Shriner’s Circus, etc. The standard approval process can take anywhere from 30 to 45 days or more depending on meeting schedules for the Airport Advisory Committee and City Council. Often times the Airport receives requests to lease airport facilities with insufficient lead time and must reject the requests. |

IMPACT: The Airport
Fund would derive additional revenues to Account No. 242-0000-361-1060
(Buildings) and/or Account No. 242-0000-361-2070 (Land). Proposed rent will be based on Fair Market
Rent Analysis. |

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Airport Advisory Committee recommends approval. |
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council establish and adopt an Ordinance authorizing
the City Manager to enter into short term lease agreements with interested
parties for use of Airport Property and Facilities. |
