body
BACKGROUND
Dallas Love Field Airport (the “Airport”) is currently designated as a User Fee Airport through the United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) Service. As part of the designation, CBP requires that a secure facility be provided for its operations. On September 8, 2010, the City Council authorized a contract for the construction of a CBP facility at the Airport, and subsequently on December 8, 2010, authorized a memorandum of understanding with CBP detailing its operations at the new facility.
On September 9, 2015, City Council authorized two leases with The Braniff Centre, LP (“Braniff Centre”) for commercial and aviation uses at the Airport. Each of the two leaseholds included a portion of the existing CBP facility. While the CBP facility was located within Braniff Centre’s leasehold areas, all rights and obligations relating to the CBP facility were subject to the City’s memorandum of understanding with CBP.
However, CBP recently notified the Department of Aviation that its facilities must remain under the exclusive control of the Airport and cannot be part of another leasehold. In an effort to comply with this requirement, the City is proposing to amend the Commercial Lease of Land at Dallas Love Field with The Braniff Centre to exclude the area occupied by CBP and revert that area to the control of the Airport. However, in the event the City relocates CBP to another facility, the approximately 1,064 square feet of space would be added back into Braniff Centre’s leasehold at the then-current rental rate pursuant to a lease amendment as approved by the City Council.
