Managers were asked to review and minimize expenditures for consultants and other contracts which provide the flexibility to adjust downward. Managers were asked to eliminate or delay until next year the planned purchase of capital equipment that has not been ordered to day. Mr. Hamiel briefed the Commission on the financial impact of the national tragedy on MAC. He stated that as a result of the national disaster on September 11, there will be significant changes in air transportation and aviation as well as on the overall economy. In response, the Commission anticipates an increase in expenses as well as a significant impact on revenue. Executive Director Hamiel stated a Business Impact Team comprised of MAC Staff has been formed to review further financial measures to be enacted by the Commission. Staff is looking at a recalculation of the Commission budget to determine the impact on revenue and expenses and to further control operating costs. In addition, MAC Staff has been directed to conduct a thorough review of the capital improvement program. Commissioner Rehkamp requested that Staff be directed to present to the Management and Operations Committee a report on the financial impact on airport concession revenue in order to determine appropriate steps to be taken with MAC tenants. Commissioner Mars stated the potential loss of parking revenue is significant and the Commission needs to be prepared to make additional changes to the budget based on this loss of revenue. Mr. Hamiel responded that Staff is assessing the impact of reduced passenger activity in terms of revenue stream and will take appropriate steps to assist airport vendors. Commissioner Hale stated he felt it is important that MAC Staff be authorized to move forward with appropriate steps without Commission approval in order to expedite appropriate actions. Mr. Hamiel indicated that Commission Staff is prepared to move forward in implementation of appropriate actions and will report back to the Commission. Chairman Nichols noted that as a result of the September 11 tragedy, the MAC can expect substantial changes in the methods of operation by the Commission. Commission Meeting • September 17,2001 Page 8 Commissioner D'Aquila inquired whether the Commission has taken a position with regard to federal initiatives supporting airline financial aid. Mr. Hamiel responded that the Commission has taken a position in support of congressional legislation proposed by Congressman Oberstar advocating actions taken to increase airport security. He noted that Staff will present to the Commission specific legislative actions for consideration as they develop. Richard Anderson, Northwest Airlines CEO, was appointed to the national committee to address the aviation industry financial and security issues. Mr. Hamiel informed the Commission that he will take an active role both as Executive Director of the MAC and Chairman of Airports Council International. Executive Director Hamiel briefed the Commission on the steps taken to address security concerns. He stated the Commission is prepared to respond to any mandates issued by the Federal Aviation Administration to improve security and safety for airport passengers. Mr. Hamiel discussed a federal directive which prohibited vehicle parking within 300 feet of the Terminal Building. The Commission had treated the glass in order to comply with these provisions. As a result, MAC has requested a waiver from the restriction in order to make these parking spaces available. Mr. Hamiel explained that he had participated in a conference call with about thirty major airport operators and FAA Administrator Jane Garvey to discuss airport security measures. The Commission is waiting for further federal guidelines to further enhance and improve security. This was an informational item only. 3.
