Brief
The Board of Airport Commissioners submitted a lease agreement between Los Angeles World Airports (LAX) and AGI Ground, Inc. for use of a service road parcel at 5720 Avion Drive. The Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee approved the item on September 11, 2026, after receiving it from the Board in early September. The file remains open pending full Council action.
Full summary
The Board of Airport Commissioners, at its August 27, 2026 meeting, approved a one-year lease with AGI Ground, Inc. for premises at 5720 Avion Drive and Service Road E at Los Angeles International Airport, and forwarded the agreement to City Council for concurrence. The lease includes a one-year extension option and carries an associated building rental rate. LAWA CEO John Ackerman's office confirmed there is no impact to the City's General Fund. The Board is asking Council to do three things: confirm that the action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines (Article III, Class 1(18)(c)); approve the lease terms and rental rate; and concur with Board Resolution 28423, which authorizes the LAWA Chief Executive Officer or a designee to execute the lease on the City's behalf. Two earlier resolutions (21636 and 26715) are also referenced, suggesting this tenancy or a related arrangement has prior history with the airport authority. The file was submitted to the City Clerk on August 31, 2026, referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on September 3, and scheduled for a committee hearing on September 11, 2026. Council approval is needed to finalize the lease. No vote has been recorded yet, and the file remains open with a two-year expiration window running through September 2028.
