Committee backs amended AmEx lounge lease; airport projects $1.13 million more annually

The Budget and Finance Committee voted to forward an amendment to the American Express common‑use lounge lease at San Francisco International Airport to the full Board with a positive recommendation; staff said a blended rent of about $211 per square foot and tenant improvements would raise net airport revenue by about $1,134,000 a year.
