AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Meeting Date: November 9, 2009
From: Charlie Weller, Airport Manager
Subject: Resolution authorizing execution of a Lease Agreement with All Terrain Lawn & Tractor, Inc. for property at Leesburg International Airport
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Lease Agreement with All Terrain Lawn & Tractor, Inc.
Analysis:
The airport property located at 8735 US Highway 441 has been vacant for approximately one year. Previous tenants include used vehicle retailers Drive Time and Truck World. The intent is to eventually build T-hangars on the property to generate revenue for Leesburg International Airport. However, funding for this project will not be available from the State (FDOT) for three to four years.
In the interim it is recommended that the property be leased to All Terrain Lawn and Tractor, Inc.. The building will be used for the storage, repair and sale of new and used tractors. In return for paying no rent in December 2009 and January 2010, the Lessee will paint the exterior of the building using a color approved by the City. Repairs will also be made to the exterior of the building including the roof and overhead doors and landscaping will be added. All of this work will be completed at the Lessee’s expense.
The attached lease agreement has in initial term of two-years ending in November, 2011. At the expiration of that term, if the tenant wishes to remain in the building the lease includes an option for one two-year renewal. At the end of the second term, if the tenant wants to stay in the building it will be on a month-to-month basis. When funding becomes available to move forward with the T-hangars the lease will be terminated.
The lease rate for the first and second years is $1,000.00 per month plus all applicable taxes (including property taxes). Rent for the third lease year will be $1,500.00 per month and rent for the fourth year will be $2,000.00 per month. The Lessee will be responsible for maintenance on the building, air conditioning system, parking lot, utilities, and grounds keeping during the lease period.
Options:
1. Approve execution of the Lease Agreement with All Terrain Lawn & Tractor, Inc.; or
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate
Fiscal Impact:
This agreement will generate $22,000.00 in revenue to Leesburg International Airport over the initial two-year term. The lease will generate additional revenue for the City via use of City utilities.
