RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a consent to assignment of the lease between the County and the current tenant, CALSTAR Air Medical Services, LLC and the new tenant, REACH Air Medical Services, LLC to assign its lease of the County-owned property located at 5005 Marsh Drive, Concord, to REACH Air Medical Services, LLC.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Airport Enterprise Fund will continue to receive lease and other revenue provided for in the lease. The County General Fund will continue to receive property, sales and possessory interest tax revenues from the lease.

BACKGROUND:

The County entered into a lease with CALSTAR Air Medical Services, LLC, in 2018 for property at the Buchanan Field Airport that is currently known as 5005 Marsh Drive, Concord (the Lease). CALSTAR now desires to assign all of its interest in the Lease to REACH Air Medical Services, LLC (REACH). An assignment of the Lease requires the written consent of the County. REACH will continue to operate a medical air transportation business at Buchanan Field Airport. Staff recommends the County consent to the assignment because REACH is capable of satisfying the financial and business requirements of the Lease. The assignment will also provide for continuity of necessary air medical services at the Buchanan Field Airport.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the lease assignment could result in an interruption of necessary medical air transport services for the County and surrounding areas.
