New Airport Concessionaire Agreement
Summary
The draft concessionaire agreement would raise Avis's monthly cost from $5,000 to roughly $9,000, cut parking from 25 spaces to 15, and eliminate the vehicle staging curb. Owners of the 50-year-old franchise say that math drives them off the airport, and the board agreed to send the lease back for serious re-review.

Impact analysis
Avis currently pays the city about $5,000/month in concession fees — roughly $750,000 over 15 years — and the new lease sought another ~$4,000/month on top.
City general fund if the lease passed as written — but locals and travelers would face higher rental rates and reduced service.
Avis, its four-person staff, and local customers who rely on its contracted low rates — and the airport itself if the franchise relocates to town.
