Title
GILLESPIE FIELD - SECOND AMENDMENT TO AVIATION LEASE WITH SKY HARBOR HANGARS (DISTRICT: 2)
Body
OVERVIEW
Gillespie Field is a general aviation airport owned and operated by the County of San Diego's (County) Department of Public Works (DPW) within the municipal limits of the City of El Cajon. The airport includes 19 aviation leases and is a gateway to and from San Diego's east county providing infrastructure, facilities, and services to corporate and general aviation communities. Leasing of airport property generates lease revenue within the airport enterprise fund, which is used by DPW to ensure that all County airports are properly maintained and safe for airport users.
On September 15, 2010 (13) the Board of Supervisors approved a new nine-year ten-month lease for aircraft storage hangars with Sky Harbor Hangars (Sky Harbor). The lease commenced on October 1, 2010 and is scheduled to terminate on July 31, 2020. This lease was amended on September 12, 2012 (8) to reduce the size of the leasehold and adjust rent proportionately. The lease provides for a renegotiated rent adjustment, which is scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2019. DPW and Sky Harbor have negotiated a lease amendment that would adjust the rent for the remaining 8-month term of the lease.
This is a request to approve the second amendment to the aviation lease with Sky Harbor. The amendment would increase base monthly rent, effective December 1, 2019, from $13,100 to $13,799. If the proposed action is adopted, the current fiscal year revenue would increase by $4,893.
