SUBJECT: AVIATION LEASING STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
On July 9, 2013 the Aviation Department presented their new Leasing Standard Operating
Procedures to the Infrastructure and Transportation Committee. This Informal Report is in
response to their request for information about the current leases and any effect the new policy
will have on those leases.
On October 26, 2010, by M&C C-24559, the City Council authorized the Aviation Department to
execute a Professional Services Agreement with Aviation Management Consulting Group
(AMCG) to assist in developing Aviation Leasing Standard Operating Procedures (Leasing SOP)
for the City's existing airports, Alliance, Meacham, and Spinks. This document outlines the
parameters that are used to lease property and improvements at the airports. The objective is to
coordinate the interests of the private sector to conduct a profitable business, with the interests of
the City to manage scarce land resources and produce sufficient revenue to maintain the airports.
The Department worked with AMCG to gather information from airport tenants with a
questionnaire and AMCG completed a weeklong field visit to meet with tenants from each airport
to gain a better understanding of the operations of the airports and the relationship with the
tenants. In addition to individual interviews with tenants, AMCG also conducted open house
forums at Spinks and Meacham airports during the field visit. Using the information from the field
visit, AMCG developed recommendations for the Department.
A Department Review Team was created including the Aviation Director, Airport Managers,
Administrative Manager, Leasing Specialist, and three members of the Aviation Advisory Board.
This team reviewed and provided comments at each phase.
The first phase began in April 2011 with an initial draft of the Leasing SOP created by AMCG.
The Department Review Team made comments, met together and then met by telephone with
AMCG. The Department Review team continued to meet through February of 2012 as changes
were incorporated in the document. Additional team members were brought in from the City
Attorney's Office, Housing and Economic Development and Risk Management as the process
continued. During this timeframe AMCG continued to meet with tenants in order to make sure
their concerns were addressed.
The Department hosted a final Public Meeting on Saturday, May 18, 2013 to present this final
Leasing SOP.
This Leasing SOP will go into effect October 1, 2013. Current airport leases will not be affected
by this new SOP until the expiration of their current lease or unless otherwise allowed within the
terms of the lease. Attached is a listing of Airport tenants and the date their leases expire.
Please contact Bill Welstead, Aviation Director if you have any questions or concerns.
