- ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND VICE-CHAIRMAN FOR VACANCY AUGUST 2007. On the motion and second of Commissioners Bristol and Blythe, Bruce Junor was unanimously elected Chairman; on the motion and second of Commissioners Junor and Blythe, Stephen Bristol was unanimously elected Vice-Chair. Responding to Chair Junor, Airport Director Alan Murphy stated that there are discussions with the First District to assist with the appointment of a Commissioner.
- APPROVAL OF MINUTES. On the motion and second of Chair Junor and Vice Chair Bristol, the minutes of August 1, 2007 were approved as amended.
- ISSUE AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO – FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. CONTRACT (ASR 07-001754). Airport Director Alan Murphy requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to authorize Purchasing Agent to issue Amendment Number Two with FMC Technologies, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $3,898,772 for the period of July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2008 for Baggage Carousels and Baggage Conveyor Systems Maintenance Services. Director Murphy stated that FMC provides maintenance support to baggage handling system, under a three (3) year contract with a two (2) year option period; this is the second year of that option period and it will expire at the end of this fiscal year. The proposed amendment requests six (6) additional positions to alleviate the increased need of maintenance for the overloaded system. Responding to Chair Junor, Director Murphy said that the purpose of this amendment is also to avoid the cost of overtime versus the regular rate of new positions. Director Murphy indicated that the contract provides flexibility to move positions to shifts that satisfy Airport needs. Responding to Chair Junor, Director Murphy confirmed that costs strictly pertain to maintenance and not capitalized costs. Director Murphy also confirmed Commissioner Blythe’s assumption that this amendment would rectify past errors and mitigate future maintenance needs. Responding to Chair Junor, Director Murphy stated that other companies offer this service, but past experience proved that not all perform equally; this contract will expire next year, returning it to the market.
Responding to John Collins, Executive Assistant to Supervisor John Moorlach during public comment, Director Murphy clarified that annual costs were included in the not-to-exceed amount and considered Mr. Collins’ recommendation to highlight the current annual cost in the Agenda Staff Report. Responding to Mr. Collins, Mr. Murphy explained that security, legislation, cost and effectiveness are considered when determining if airport functions are to be outsourced or performed by Airport staff; this is done on a case-by-case basis.
On the motion and second Commissioner Bristol and Commissioner Blythe, item 2 was passed unanimously.
