DISCUSSION ITEMS
Management and Operations Committee
B3 2002 General Adjustment to MAC Compensation Plan
Commissioner Mars requested that this item be moved to the Discussion portion
of the agenda for further discussion. He spoke in opposition to the Committee
recommendation stating he would not support the increase in view of the
Commission's current financial condition as well as the current state of the airline
industry. He also expressed concern about the uncertainty of federal
reimbursement to MAC for security expenses.
Jeffrey Hamiel, Executive Director, recommended support of the three percent
increase effective July 1, 2002. He noted that this adjustment remains below the
Commission Meeting •
June 17, 2002
Page 6
4
current consumer price index for urban wage earners of 3.8 percent.
Commission approval of this increase would result in a 2002 increase of 1.5
percent to non-organized employees. Mr. Hamiel stated that MAC employees
have been diligent in the management of the budget and he believed that the
Commission will be in a stronger financial condition by the end of 2002. Mr.
Hamiel noted that MAC organized employees have continued to receive
compensation increases in accordance with collective bargaining agreements.
Total cost for the increase for non-organized employees is $239,000 for 2002
which was already included in the budget. It was noted that salary step
increases, promotions and position reclassifications will remain frozen. Mr.
Hamiel indicated that at the end of 2002, Staff will assess MAC's financial
performance to determine its compensation recommendation for 2003.
Discussion continued with regard to the following issues: 1) Past salary
increases; 2) Potential for non-organized employees to seek union
representation; 3) Impact on the budget and; 4) Administration of the increase.
COMMISSIONER REHKAMP MOVED AND COMMISSIONER LANDY
SECONDED ADJUSTMENT OF THE NON-ORGANIZED EMPLOYEE

Landy, Long, Rehkamp, Speer, Williams and
Chairman Nichols
Nays, two: Commissioners Mars and Weske
Absent, three: Commissioners D'Aquila, Fortier and McKasy
B4 Bloomington Hospitality Association Issues
Commissioner Rehkamp, Chairman of the Management and Operations
Committee, reported the Committee reviewed the issue of the hotel/motel
callboards following a presentation by a representative of the Bloomington
Hospitality Association. The Association had expressed concern regarding the
increase in fees for phone boards at the Lindbergh Terminal Building in
conjunction with the new Interspace Airport Advertising contract. In addition to
concern over rates, the Association was confused as to how many callboards
were planned.
Chairman Rehkamp explained that the recent Request for Proposals process for
the advertising concession included the right to place a reservations board in the
Ground Transportation pickup area, replacing the existing callboard provided by

MAC. Staff was directed to attempt to resolve the outstanding issues with the

INFORMATIONAL ITEM AND NO COMMISSION ACTION WAS REQUESTED.

Request for Qualifications and Proposals had been sent to Ernst & Young as part
of the last RFQ process. He indicated that Ernst & Young did not submit a
proposal.
COMMISSIONER MARS MOVED AND COMMISSIONER FOLEY SECONDED
APPROVAL TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR AUDITING
SERVICES; FURTHER, THAT ERNST & YOUNG BE PROVIDED AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCESS. The motion carried
by unanimous vote.
Special Finance Committee
SC1 Approval of Resolution No. 1962, Authorization to Move Forward with
PFC Application No. 6
Commissioner Long, Chairman of the Finance Committee, reported that at the
Special Committee meeting, the Finance Committee briefly discussed Resolution
No. 1962 which is necessitated by the FAA's new Passenger Facility Charge
application guidelines.

SC2 RECOMMEND HMS HOST AUDIT BE REFERRED BACK TO THE FINANCE
COMMITTEE
Commissioner Long, Chairman of the Finance Committee, reported that this
matter was discussed at length at the June Finance Committee meeting. At the
June 5 Finance Committee, staff was directed to negotiate a final settlement with
HMS Host, Incorporated. This item was further discussed at the Special Finance
Committee meeting held on June 17, 2002.
Since the presentation of the Host Audit at the last meeting, staff had become aware
of an issue that could impact the audit. As a result, staff recommended that the Full
Commission refer the matter back to the Finance Committee.
COMMISSIONER HOULE MOVED AND COMMISSIONER MARS SECONDED TO
RECOMMEND TO THE FULL COMMISSION THAT THE HMS HOST AUDIT BE
REFERRED BACK TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION.
THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
