V1., Presentation and Discussion on FBO Lease Agreements
Director Segundo explained that the difference between the Minimum Standards and the
FBO Leases is that they are contractual agreements between the FBO companies and the
City of Corpus Christi. They define and outline the business terms that will be used with
the FBO's defining the area to be lease and negotiated with the FBO's and not the sub-
tenants. The leases will approve to recommend to City Council for approval.
Director Segundo continued the discussion regarding both the Minimum Standards and
the FBO Lease Agreements. He continued by stating that the FBO's were aware of the
up-coming lease negotiation beforehand. Atlantic's lease expires in October, 2008 and
Signature's lease expires in 2012 with a notation that the date Is in question.
The objectives for the Minimum Standards are to ensure safe and efficient levels of
services offered to the public. He continued by explaining the Intent of the development of
the Minimum Standards.
Director Segundo continued by listing on the slide presentation the revenue currently
made by the Airport from the FBO lease. He continued by explaining the two options that
would be considered during the lease negotiations. The options would be either a
concession type agreement or a management type agreement. He explained the risks
and benefits of each agreement adding that both would be required to comply with the
Minimum Standards.
Discussion was heard from those present that included the charge for fuel and sub-lease
space. Representatives from both Atlantic Aviation and Signature Flight Service were
present and commented on Director Segundo's presentation with respect to their current
business practices.
