6. Should the lease provide for ground lease payments? Ground lease payments or <br /> payments made for lease of the ground on which the improvement is located. <br /> <br />Current Policy - the current policy does not require ground lease payments. None <br />of the current leases for private hangars in the City of Paris require the payment <br />of ground lease payments. <br /> <br />Survey - almost all of the cities surveyed require the payment of ground lease <br />payments for private hangars. The City has received informal information from <br />those associated with or working with TxDot indicating that future leases should <br />include the requirement for ground lease payments. <br /> <br />Board Recommendation - the Board recommended a ground lease payment of <br />$0.12 per square foot per year, adjusted every five years with a Consumer Price <br />Index adjustment. <br /> <br />APPROVED B Y CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />The City Council must consider whether or not ground lease payments should be <br />charged for future leases, and determine the amount of that lease payment. <br /> <br />7. Should the lease place the burden for taxes, if any taxes are due, on the hangar tenant? <br /> <br />a. The Current Policy - the current policy is silent on the issue of who would be <br /> responsible for taxes, if any taxes are determined to be due. <br /> <br />Survey - with the exception of one other city and the City of Paris, all the leases <br />for all of the other cities surveyed would place the responsibility for payment of <br />taxes, if any taxes are due, squarely on the tenant. The City Attorney is <br />recommending that a clause be included in the lease to place the tax responsibility <br />on the tenant. <br /> <br />The City Council needs to determine whether or not future leases will place the <br />responsibility for taxes on the tenant. <br /> <br />-6- <br /> <br /> <br />
