RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of a three-year Administration Building
Office Lease Agreement, including two one-year renewal options, with Fort Worth Jet, LLC for Suite

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to recommend that the City Council
authorize execution of a three (3) year administration building office lease agreement with Fort Worth
Jet, LLC for Suite L11 located at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport.
On or about August 27, 2021, City of Fort Worth (Lessor) and Fort Worth Jet & Associates, LLC
(Lessee) entered into City Secretary Contract No. (CSC) 56252 an Administration Building Office
Annual Lease Agreement (Previous Lease) at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport. Previous
Lease expired on August 31, 2024 with three options to renew for one year each.
On or about August 1, 2024, the Lessor was informed that on or about July 25, 2024, Lessee forfeited
its existence and reinstated its company in the name of Fort Worth Jet, LLC. (FWJ). Pursuant to
Chapter 11, section 11.052, "Winding Up Procedures," of the Texas Business Organization Code, the
Managing Member of a limited liability corporation has the authority to wind up its existing affairs. As
a result, the Lessor and Lessee opted not to renew the Previous Lease and entered into a month -to -
month lease agreement until a new lease can be approved by City Council.
The Lessor and FWJ now wish to enter into a new three (3) year lease agreement for Suite L11,
consisting of approximately 1,020 square feet of lower level office space at a rate of $14.50 per
square foot. The initial term of this lease shall commence on November 1, 2024 (Effective Date) and
expire at 11:59 PM on October 31, 2027, three (3) years following the Effective Date. The lease will
include two one-year options to renew for a total of an additional two (2) years, bringing the total
potential lease term to five (5) years. Total revenue received from the lease will be in the amount of
$14,790.00 per year, payable in monthly payments of $1,232.50 per month. On October 1, 2025, and
on October 1st of each year thereafter in which this lease is still in effect, FWJA's rental rate shall be
adjusted to comply with the rates prescribed for the Premises by Lessor's Schedule of Rates and
Charges in effect at the respective time.
FWJ has agreed Suite L11 is finished -out and any construction, renovation or adjustments to the unit
will be at its sole cost with no build -out or tenant allowance provided by the City of Fort Worth nor the
Aviation Department in a manner consistent with Aviation Department policy.
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
