RECOMMENDATION
 
Recommendation
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute an Assignment/Assumption of Lease from Meridian to Signature Flight Support.
 
SUMMARY
 
On December 5, 2013, Council approved an agreement with Meridian to construct a Fixed Base Operation (FBO) at Hayward Executive Airport. Over the past ten years, Meridian completed Phase I of the project, which included construction of a parking apron, a hangar, and a passenger terminal. However, the management of the Meridian companies decided last year to offer the company for sale, which includes their FBO locations in Teterboro, New Jersey and Hayward. After careful consideration, Signature Flight Support (Signature) was the successful bidder, and the transaction was completed in early January.
 
This assignment holds Signature to all the terms and conditions of the existing lease, which includes the development of additional hangar space in construction of Phases II-IV on the leasehold. All terms and conditions of the existing lease remain unchanged.
