B. The director may approve and execute a lease with an on-airport car rental agency, on behalf of the city, if:

2. The term of such lease where the total monetary value received by the City exceeds two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) is for three (3) years or less, including the term of any extensions or renewals of such lease for which either the city or the on-airport car rental agency has the option or right to renew under the terms of the lease.

The city council shall also approve the execution of amendments to extend the term of any lease required by this section on behalf of the City beyond three (3) years, if the total monetary value received by the City from such lease from the original effective date through the extended term exceeds two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00).
D. A lease for use of the airport for on-airport car rental agency commercial activity that is otherwise within the authority of the director to execute under this section may be approved and executed by the director on behalf of the city if the director determines:

H. All leases with an on-airport car rental agency shall contain such other terms, conditions and provisions as may be determined by the city council or the director, if the director is authorized to approve the leases, to protect the safety, welfare and convenience of the city and the general public.
