ware
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
an office lease agreement with Mr. Ken McLaughlin d/b/a/ Aviation Software for
first floor office space in the Fort Worth Meacham Airport terminal building.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Ken McLaughlin, doing business as Aviation Software, will sell and market
aviation software products to general aviation users including flight schools
and manufacturers.
The lease is for 537 square feet of first floor, carpeted office space at the
standard, annual (12 month) rate of $11.20 per square foot. This rate is in
accordance with the Schedule of Fees and Charges approved by City Council.
The lease agreement will be for an initial period of nineteen (19) months
beginning March 1, 1992, and ending September 30, 1993, with successive one year
options to renew on terms prescribed by the City. The uneven initial period is
to allow the agreement to be renewed on a period consistent with the City's
fiscal year.
The amount of revenue generated during the initial nineteen month period is
$9,522.80 or $501.20 per month calculated as follows:
537 sf x $11.20/sf x 19 mos = $9,522.80

Because Mr. McLaughlin does not wish to lease one room of the space available
to him in the particular location he desires, the City will be required to close
off that room leaving it without access to the public corridor. However, should
another prospective tenant desire to lease that room, Mr. McLaughlin will be
required to pay the cost of having a door exiting to the public corridor
installed of the type consistent with other doors in the immediate area. Mr
McLaughlin will have the option to utilize the contractor of his choice to
construct the door provided that the construction is in accordance with the
City's specifications. All other terms and conditions of a standard office
lease agreement will apply.
