Committee approves short-term lease with Barney Aviation at Danforth International Airport
Summary
The Business and Economic Development Committee approved a short-term lease with Barney Aviation at Danforth International Airport that sets starting rent at $2,503.53 per month and uses the city's standard lease form, with a five‑year initial term and two one‑year extension options.
The Business and Economic Development Committee approved a short-term lease with Barney Aviation at Danforth International Airport after staff said the agreement follows the city's standard lease form and FAA grant-assurance requirements.
Assistant Airport Director Francis Robbins told the committee the tenant wishes to remain at the property after prior short-term extensions expired. Robbins said the lease in the meeting packet sets a starting rent increase of $2,503.53 per month, establishes an initial five-year term and includes two additional one-year extension options. He said the leases are structured as short-term agreements as required by FAA grant assurances.
A council member asked whether the city's legal department had reviewed the lease. Robbins said the lease was the standard form provided by the city's legal department and that city legal drafted the initial document.
Councilor Leonard, the committee chair, said he did not see issues when he read the lease, and the chair called for a motion. A motion and second were recorded and, absent objection, the chair declared the motion carried.
No roll-call vote tally was read aloud in the public transcript. The committee moved on to other economic development items after approving the lease.
