Summary

The committee approved modifications to United Airlines' lease to account for added exclusive‑use space and higher projected rent over seven years, extended a T‑Mobile lease five years with increased annual rent, and amended Hawaiian Airlines' lease to include administrative office space and a corrected seven‑year rent guarantee.

Airport staff presented and the committee approved amendments to several airport leases.

Item 4: Kathy Weidner of San Francisco International Airport asked the committee to approve Modification No. 1 to the city’s lease with United Airlines to reflect increased exclusive‑use space in Boarding Area E. The Budget Analyst presented revised figures and recommended amending the resolution to show a total projected rent to be paid by United for the remaining seven years of approximately $93,694,849 and a minimum incremental annual rent revised to about $11,303,912 per year. Weidner said she would submit an amended resolution that afternoon to reflect the higher total.

Item 5: Weidner also presented a five‑year extension to the airport’s cellular equipment lease with T‑Mobile, increasing annual rent by $25,000 to $475,000 and yielding a total payment of $2,625,000 for the period 07/01/2014 through 06/30/2019; the analyst recommended making the lease retroactive to 07/01/2014.

Item 6: The committee approved Modification No. 1 to the Hawaiian Airlines lease to incorporate 538 sq. ft. of administrative office space into the existing lease. Airport staff and the budget analyst corrected the calculation to use a seven‑year formula and recommended the minimum annual guarantee and total be updated; the transcript cites a corrected seven‑year total for the space of about $870,350.

All three items were advanced with staff amendments and no public opposition recorded in the committee transcript.
