HomeMy WebLinkAbout10/16/2002 - STAFF REPORTS (10) DATE: October 16, 2002 TO: City Council FROM: Executive Director-Airports AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING LEASE - TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council approve a lease of up to 6000 sq.ft. at the Airport for the TSA administrative functions utilizing General Service Administration (GSA) lease documents. SUMMARY: This action would allow the Airport to enter into a lease to temporarily house the TSA while long-term facilities are developed. BACKGROUND: The Aviation Transportation Security Act (ATSA)was approved by Congress in late 2001 and resulted in the establishment of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). TSA was assigned the task of federalizing passenger and baggage screening at all airports. The Federal Security Director (FSD) for Palm Springs was named in early September and with that director comes an administrative staff of between 15 to 25 and a need for up to 6000 sq.ft. of office space. ATSA requires airports to provide the space for passenger and baggage screening for free; however, the Airport is able to lease office space at the current established rate. Since the FSD's arrival,staff has been working to provide suitable space in an already over-crowded building. The Airport can provide 2664 sq.ft. in several spaces in the existing building and propose to provide the balance in rental trailers (authorized by City Council at last meeting). A breakdown of the space is as follows (including proposed improvements by the Airport): SPACE SQ. FT.
