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 COMPENSATION STRUCTURE BY THREE PERCENT, EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2002. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: Ayes, ten: Commissioners Boivin, Erhart, Foley, Houle, 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 • Commission Meeting June 17, 2002 Page 7 • MAC. Staff was directed to attempt to resolve the outstanding issues with the Bloomington Hospitality Association. COMMISSIONER REHKAMP MOVED AND COMMISSIONER MARS SECONDED APPROVAL OF THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION. COMMISSIONER REHKAMP WITHDREW HIS MOTION AS THIS WAS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM AND NO COMMISSION ACTION WAS REQUESTED. COMMISSIONER MARS CONCURRED. Finance Committee C3 Request for Qualifications and Proposals for Auditing Services Commissioner Mars questioned why Ernst & Young would not be able to participate in this process. Steve Busch, Director of Finance, responded that the 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. COMMISSIONER LONG MOVED AND COMMISSIONER MARS SECONDED TO RECOMMEND TO THE FULL COMMISSION APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 1962, AUTHORIZING MAC STAFF TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PFC APPLICATION NO. 6. THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Commission Meeting • June 17,2002 Page 8 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.
