d. 7/12/08 Memo to City Council on Rates and Charges.
How do we untangle rates going forward, especially considering
many leaseholders are not aware of the implications of lease rate
changes at five year intervals?
The discussion revolved around several items:
The annual CPI increase which is included in the majority of
leases, has led to rates that are higher than real estate
prices would otherwise indicate in this economy in the
opinion of several members.
Several people felt that the $.35 per square foot rate for all
land is too high and that we should go back to a rate for the
land covered by the hangar and a rate for the remaining
bare ground.
It was acknowledged that there is a built in inequity between
the footprint only leases (those hangars which lease only
the land under their hangars) and the lot leases (those that
lease a lot for their hangar.
The consensus was that inclusion of rate adjustment
mechanisms in exhibits which are attached to leases,
primarily Resolution 10-90 and Resolution 00-05 leads
leases to misunderstanding of rate mechanisms and the
wording of the 10 and 5 year rate increases is potentially
unfair to lease holders.
The committee agreed that we should re-write the standard
lease agreement, include the rate adjustment mechanisms
into the lease agreements and come up with incentives to
get existing lease holders to sign the newly formulated
agreement. This would be an attempt to standardize all
agreements.
It was the stated intention of the AAC to have the Airport
Manager survey similarly situated airports, analyze the data,
and make recommendations regarding airport rates and
charges with emphasis placed on the hangar land lease
rates.
