SUBJECT
Title
Actions related to the Second Amendment to the Lease Agreement between the City of Fresno and Enterprise Rent-A-Car at Fresno Yosemite International Airport:
1. Adopt a finding of Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.
2. Approve Second Amendment to the existing Service Facility Lease Agreement between the City of Fresno and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, to update billing responsibilities for the term of the agreement. (Council District 4)
Body
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a finding of Class 1 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, and authorize the Director of Aviation to execute the Second Amendment to the Service Facility Lease Agreement with Enterprise Rent-A-Car (Enterprise) related to Vanguard Car Rental (Vanguard) at Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Enterprise acquired Vanguard on August 1, 2007. The Second Amendment is a clean-up effort that that allows for the proper invoicing through Enterprise for Vanguard service facility expenses.
BACKGROUND
Enterprise and Vanguard entered into agreements for their respective service facilities with the Airports Department (Airports) on June 22, 2007. Since that time, Enterprise acquired Vanguard. Both service facilities continued to be billed separately after the acquisition. Enterprise reached out to Airports in June 2019 requesting to have the Vanguard service facility agreement merged with the Enterprise service facility agreement. This will allow for both facilities to be billed on one invoice.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This agreement falls within the Class 1 Categorical Exemption for Existing Facilities set forth in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15301 for existing facilities, as it involves no alteration of existing facilities, with no expansion of use, and will not result in any significant negative effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. Furthermore, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 apply to this project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference is not applicable because this is an amendment to an existing agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from the approval and execution of this amendment. The amendment provides an administrative modification to the company that gets billed for the Vanguard service facility expenses.
