Verify amended lease terms match final ordinance text

Context: The amendment striking the renewal option for Items 7, 8, and 9 was adopted from the floor on 2026-06-02, then moved to second reading on the consent agenda on 2026-06-23 with no further discussion recorded.

Recommended: Pull the ordinance language adopted on 2026-06-23 and confirm it reflects the three-year term with no renewal option that was added from the floor on first reading — a three-week jump from floor amendment to consent-agenda passage is exactly when drafting errors slip through unchecked.

Confirm three-year airport lease expiration date

Context: Council Member Vaughn's floor amendment removed the renewal option from Items 7, 8, and 9 before the 9-0 first-reading vote on 2026-06-02, and second reading passed unchanged on 2026-06-23.

Recommended: If you hold one of the leases in Items 7-9, get the exact term-end date in writing now — council stripped the one three-year renewal option from the deal, so the lease hard-stops with no automatic extension.

Ask why council cut the airport lease renewal option

Context: Vaughn's amendment struck the one three-year renewal option from all three items simultaneously and passed 9-0 with no explanation given, per the 2026-06-02 special meeting minutes.

Recommended: File a records request for the staff report on Items 7, 8, and 9 to see what term and renewal option staff originally recommended before Vaughn's floor amendment shortened it — a unanimous change to three lease deals at once with no recorded rationale is worth a follow-up question to Vaughn or the Aviation Department.
