Title
From the Director, Department of Transportation and Public Works, and the Airport Director requesting authorization to enter into a new month-to-month lease agreement with Host International, Inc., for rental of approximately 783 square feet of storage space on the lower level of Concourse C at General Mitchell International Airport (GMIA).
Body
POLICY
County Board approval is required to enter into certain agreements at General Mitchell International Airport (GMIA).
BACKGROUND
On November 19, 2008 Milwaukee County entered into Airport No. CN-1917 with Host International, Inc., for the operation of a food and beverage concession at GMIA. On August 24, 2009 Milwaukee County entered into Airport Agreement No. TB-1921 with Host International, Inc., for the rental of basement storage space for Host to use in conjunction with its food and beverage concession.
Host recently subleased the Chili's restaurant/bar on Concourse C to its disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) partner. This resulted in a need for additional office space for the DBE partner as well as additional storage space. Host is now requesting to rent an additional approximately 149 square feet of office space and an additional approximately 783 square feet of storage space under Concourse C to support the Chili's facility on Concourse C. The requested space is airline operations space that would be rented on a month-to-month basis, since the airlines have first rights to the space if needed by an airline.
RECOMMENDATION
Airport staff recommends that Airport Director enter into a new month-to-month agreement with Host International, Inc., under the standard terms and conditions as other similar space that will include the following.
1. The agreement will be on a month-to-month basis, and will be cotermius with Airport Agreement No. CN-1917.
2. Rental for the approximately 783 square feet of storage space will be at the annual rent of $12.00 per square foot. There will be no additional rental charge for the 149 square feet of additional office space, since office space rental is part of the concession fees.
3. The Airport Director has the authority to relocate, reduce, and add space to the agreement as may be deemed necessary.
FISCAL NOTE
Terminal building rental revenue would increase approximately $9,396.00 per year.
