Recommendations for Council action:
- ADOPT the determination by the Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as provided in Article III, Class 1(18)(c) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.
- APPROVE the Lease and Agreement with TBITEC covering operation and maintenance of the aeronautical equipment at LAX.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that LAWA indicates that the proposed Lease and Agreement with TBITEC will result in revenue of approximately $61,000,000 in the first year. In subsequent years, revenue will decline when the premises and equipment located in Terminals 2 and 3 are removed from the Agreement and replaced by equivalent facilities in Terminal 5. Since space in Terminals 2 and 3 will then be occupied by Delta Airlines, LAWA will recover the appropriate rent for space in those terminals directly through the Delta Lease. As new space comes on-line in the new Midfield Satellite Concourse and the Tom Bradley International Terminal, TBITEC will pay for this space at rates approved by the Board. The proposed Lease and Agreement will have no impact on the General Fund.

- AUTHORIZE the Mayor and Council President to provide a written guarantee corresponding to G 3.5, detailed in Attachment A of the CAO/CLA report dated January 13, 2017 attached to the Council file, which provides for a financial guarantee covering any potential economic shortfall of the Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG), contingent upon Council’s approval of LA24’s Stage 3 venue and Ceremonies plans.

Based on LA24’s proposed Games plan and independently verified budget, the City does not anticipate any OCOG shortfall. Going forward, the CAO and CLA will continue to actively monitor candidature related activities and report to Council upon its request or as needed.
