liquidate and discharge the same within thirty (30) days of such creation or filing. Lessee's
failure to discharge any such purported lien shall constitute a breach of this Lease and Lessor
may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' written notice. H cial

Mayor and council Communication
DATE: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 i
LOG NAME: 55WTWPROPERTIES REFERENCE NO.: L-13767
i
SUBJECT:
I
Authorize Execution of Unimproved Ground Lease Agreement with Mandatory Improvements with
WTW Properties, Inc., a Subsidiary of XTO Energy, Inc. at Fort Worth Meacham International.
Airport
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Unimproved Ground
Lease with Mandatory Improvements with WTW. Properties, Inc., a subsidiary of XTO Energy, Inc., for
approximately 114,560 square feet of land at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport.
I
DISCUSSION:
i
WTW Properties, Inc. ,(WfW, Inc.), a subsidiary of XTO Energy, Inc., proposes to lease approximately
114,560 square feet of unimproved land at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport. The actual square
footage of the lease site will be determined by a subsequent ground survey. WTW, Inc. proposes to build a !
28,000 square foot hangar on the airport's west side adjacent to the Control Tower Complex.
The area where WTW, Inc. has proposed to develop a hangar has no public access road or taxiways that i
are designed for larger aircraft. WTW, Inc. has requested that the City strengthen the taxiway. Staff has ,,
completed the geo-technical analysis on the taxiway in connection with another airport upgrade
project. Repairs are being programmed to increase the 'weight bearing capability of the taxiway to
accommodate larger aircraft. WTW, Inc. has also proposed to build a public access road to the site, which
will help facilitate additional development in the area. The City will not be required to commit any funds to '
the building of the access road.
The lease will provide for a thirty-year term with two five-year options to renew. The initial term of the lease
will commence upon the date of execution. Rental rates shall be subject to an increase on October 1st of
any given year to reflect the upward percentage change, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for the period
.since the last adjustment, as well as adjustments in the 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th years to reflect the then 1
current applicable rate. All lease terms will be in accordance with City policies.
The initial square footage rate of the ground lease will be $0.21 per square foot. Payment of rent for each
lease"site will commence upon the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the proposed improvements i
set forth above. The annual revenue generated from this lease based on the current Aviation Department's
Schedule of Rates and Charges will be $24,057.60 annually, or $2,004.80 on a monthly basis. Based on
the development timeline there will be no revenue generated this fiscal year.
i
i
The site plan is in accordance with the Fort Worth Meacham International Airport Master plan and is
subjected to Federal Aviation Administration airspace review.
The property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
