(A) The City Council, upon the recommendation of the Airport Manager, shall designate the buildings and areas at the airport that are not suitable for, or are not currently required for, air commerce or other aviation purposes and that are suitable or adaptable for use as warehouses, stores, service establishments or any other commercial, industrial, agricultural, or livestock purposes not connected directly with air commerce or the furnishing of services or goods, wares or merchandise to air passengers or aircraft owners or operators. Such nonaviation buildings and areas shall be leased by inviting competitive bids. The invitation to bid shall designate the particular building or area, the purpose for which it will be leased, the minimum and maximum term for which it will be leased, and the time within which bids must be submitted. The invitation to bid shall be published in any manner which the City Council may determine. All bids submitted shall be sealed and delivered to the City Clerk. At the time announced in the invitations, the bids shall be opened in the presence of a majority of the City Council, and no award shall be made except to one of such bidders. The City Council shall determine the most advantageous bid for the city and shall award the lease to such bidders, but the City Council shall have the right to reject any and all bids, and, in the event all bids are rejected, may call for new bids. Pending the time for submitting bids, the terms and conditions of the lease that is to be made and entered into with the successful bidder shall be on file in the office of the City Clerk and the Airport Manager for inspection of all persons desiring to bid. The building or area shall also be made available for inspection by all persons desiring to bid.
(B) The rental for such nonaviation buildings and areas shall be based upon the number of square feet of area, a fixed annual or monthly rental, a percentage or share of the gross value or volume of sales, or any combination thereof, as the City Council shall determine and cause to be stated in the invitation for bids.
(C) Each lease under this section shall be in writing, executed by the lessee, approved by resolution of the City Council, and executed on behalf of the city by the Mayor and City Clerk.
