Lee asks about actual rental payments received from the Port Authority for FY26, noting the preliminary budget included only $162.4 million. Commissioner Lee says he has the report and will pull it up, offering to work with OMB on any needed adjustments.

Linda Lee

Sorry, just in case to cover myself, we've been joined by Councilmember Narcisse, because I wasn't sure if I mentioned you before.

Linda Lee

Okay, airport revenue.

Linda Lee

Preliminary budget included just $162.4 million in rental revenue from the Port Authority for the city's airports in FY26, and at the time, the Council believed that this was underestimating actual rental payments.

Linda Lee

So as Commissioner, you received the Port Authority's transmittal of rental payments in annual statements.

Linda Lee

So what was the amount of actual rental?

Linda Lee

that the city received from the Port Authority for FY26?

Richard Lee

I can get back to you on that one.

Richard Lee

We have the report.

Richard Lee

I just haven't, I could pull it up in a little bit.

Richard Lee

But we're happy to work with OMB if any changes need to be made.

Richard Lee

But we have received it.

Richard Lee

I'll get back to you.

Richard Lee

Let me just pull it up right now.

Linda Lee

Okay.
