Algin A V Council Agenda RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TO TITLE: RESTAURANT LEASE & OPERATING AGREEMENT AGENDA ITEM # DEPARTMENT: PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT DATE: APRIL 13. 1998 ISSUE Should City Council approve an Amendment to the Airport Restaurant Lease and Operating Agreement. RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Resolution. BACKGROUND On September 23, 1996, City Council entered into a Restaurant Lease and Operating Agreement with Martina A. Algin to operate the Restaurant at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. Because of both an overly optimistic business outlook and the significant impact that the new "chain" restaurants have had regarding customers and employee retention, the Restaurant is struggling to stay viable. This problem has not been uncommon with past restaurant operators at the Airport. Martina A. Algin, the Lessee, would like to continue to operate the Restaurant, however, is asking for some relief from the City in three areas. The first is to forego the monthly rental payment of 7.5% of the "gross revenues" or $1,000.00, whichever is greater, in 1998; secondly, to write off the monies due and in arrears for 1997 ($4,832.00); and thirdly, to delay the enclosing of the patio area until October 7, 1999. The Restaurant is a vital asset to the Airport Industrial Park, especially during the lunch hour, continues to generate sales tax, and provides employment opportunities. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City would forego the revenue for 1998 ( $12,000) and the arrears for 1997 ($4,832.00).
