(Lessee) entered into City Secretary Contract (CSC) 46439, a Hangar and Ground Lease Agreement
for Lease Site 51S at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Lease).
Lease Site 51 S consists of a 22,500 square foot hangar, 6,900 square foot office, and 124,015 square

FTW Hangar 51-S, LLC. Upon City Council approval, FTW Hangar 51-S, LLC will assume the
leasehold interest and obligations associated with the Lease. The Lease prohibits any assignment of
the lease or causing any lien to be made on improvements constructed on the leased premises
without City Council approval. These types of transactions are routine for airport tenants and staff has
no objection to this request.

City, payable in monthly installments of $6,749.78 for the hangar, $56,718.84, payable in monthly

the lease agreement, funds will be deposited into the Municipal Airport Fund. The Aviation
Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of
funds due to the City.
