Summary

Airport staff said negotiations with the General Services Administration removed a clause that had compelled extra obligations; the board recommended a small GSA lease for TSA support spaces and will back-bill to Oct. 1, 2025, with an estimated $27,030 additional annual revenue.

Don described a year of negotiations with the General Services Administration to update terms for GSA's lease of support spaces for TSA (supervisor office, break room, training office and storage), saying he successfully removed a clause that would have required the airport to perform additional obligations. "I was able to get the clause removed," he said, and credited the city attorney's assistance.

Don said the negotiated lease will be backdated to Oct. 1, 2025 and will add roughly $27,030 per year (about $135,153 over five years) in additional revenue; the board moved to recommend the GSA lease and approved it by voice vote. Board members discussed whether back-billing might be delayed if TSA funding is not currently available but staff said GSA is the billable party and the airport expects to collect the difference when funds permit.
