SUBJECT: NON-EXCLUSIVE OPERATING & LEASE AGREEMENT WITH
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON FOR AN ELECTRIC SUBSTATION
AT PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Department of Aviation
SUMMARY
Southern California Edison (SCE) maintains an electric substation on Palm Springs
International Airport property at Alejo Road east of Civic Drive.
RECOMMENDATION:
1_ Approve Non-Exclusive Operating & Lease Agreement for an electric substation
at Palm Springs International Airport with Southern California Edison effective
December 1, 2006 and valid until November 30, 2026.
2. Authorized the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The SCE original substation lease concluded November 30, 2006. The original lease
term was for a period of twenty five (25) years with an option to renew for an additional
twenty five (25) years. The rental rate was $900 per annum.
The Federal Aviation Administration grant assurances require that Airports receive fair
market value (FMV) for non-aviation related purpose leases. An appraisal was
conducted and concluded the FMV rent to be $21,840/annum triple net. Triple net
calculations assume the lessee pays all taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses
that arise from the use of the property in addition to rent.
Consistent with FAA revenue guidelines a twenty year (20) lease without options at
current FMV and a Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment every five years is

Section 2. TERM

earlier termination as otherwise provided in this Lease.
If Lessee remains in possession of all or any part of the Demised Premises after the
expiration of the term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of City, such
tenancy shall be from month to month only, and not a renewal hereof or an extension for
any further term, and in such case, rent and other monetary sums due hereunder shall be
payable in the amount and at the time specified in the Lease and such month to month
tenancy shall be subject to every other provision, covenant and agreement contained
herein. Acceptance by City of rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not
constitute a holdover hereunder or result in a renewal. The foregoing provisions of the
subsection are in addition to and do not affect the right of re-entry or any right of City
hereunder or as otherwise provided by law, and in no way shall affect any right which City
may otherwise have to recover damages from Tenant for loss or liability incurred by City
resulting from such failure by Tenant to surrender the Demised Premises. Nothing
contained in this Sub-section shall be construed as consent by City to any holding over by
Tenant, and City expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of
the Demised Premises to City as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other
termination of the Lease.
Section 3. RENTAL.
3.1 Yearly Rental. Tenant shall pay to City, during the term of this Lease from and after the
Commencement Date as yearly rental for the Demised Premises the sum specified in
Section 1.3 hereof, which sum shall be paid in advance on the first day of each agreement
year.
3.2 Real Property Taxes. In addition to all rentals herein reserved, Tenant shall pay, at the
election of City, either directly to the taxing authority or to City, any annual real estate taxes
and assessments levied upon the Demised Premises (including any possessory interest
taxes), as well as taxes of every kind and nature levied and assessed in lieu of, in
substitution for, or in addition to, existing real property taxes, if any_ (Tenant specifically
acknowledges that the interest granted under this Lease may be subject to possessory
interest taxes.) Such amount shall be paid on the date that is twenty (20) days prior to the
delinquent date or, if City receives the tax bill, ten (10) days after receipt of a copy of the
tax bill from City, whichever is later. Even though the term of this Lease has expired and
Tenant has vacated the Demised Premises, when the final determination is made of
Tenant's share of such taxes and assessments, Tenant shall immediately pay to City the
amount of any additional sum owed.
3.3 Personal Property Taxes. During the term hereof Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes (if any) assessed against and levied upon fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all

before delinquency all charges for telephone service, trash removal and all other services

not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, any payment of any sum
to be paid by Tenant not paid within five (5) days of its due date shall be subject to a five
