APPROVAL
OF MINUTES. On the motion and second of Chair Commissioner Age and Commissioner Bristol with Vice Chair Commissioner Markley abstaining, the minutes of August 02, 2006 were approved as written.
- APPROVE AMENDMENT WITH ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY (OCFA) (ASR 06-001316). Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to issue Amendment number 3 to an agreement with the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) at John Wayne Airport. JWA contracts with Orange County Fire Authority to provide Fire Fighters basic labor services in regards to aircraft rescue and fire fighting services. Last year’s board directed JWA to look at some options. The Fire Authority agreed to cap their cost at 4% by rolling back one year for the 2004-2005 actual cost. JWA recommends a five year contract with estimated savings for this year based on this new approach. The Fire Authority does an excellent job and provides JWA with excellent service. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Airport Director Murphy stated all Fire Fighters stationed at JWA are Paramedics. Responding to Chair Age, Airport Director Murphy stated that in case of a major disaster, JWA, Santa Ana, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa Fire Departments actively assist in mutual aid.
Commissioner Markley suggested that some verbiage indicating that surrounding cities are not interested be included in the AIT.
No one from the public wished to address the Commission.
On the motion and second of Chair Age and Commissioner Bristol, item 2 was passed unanimously.
- APPROVE LEASE WITH TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA) (ASR 06-001497). Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to approve the Security Services Lease with the Transportation Security Administration for exclusive use space at John Wayne Airport. Airport Director Murphy stated progress has been made with the agreement held with TSA due to GSA no longer being part of the agreement. The lease does not cover much of the space TSA occupies and part of that deals with the legislation that formed TSA in 2002, which delineates that they cannot be charged for the areas used for screening purposes. TSA will be charged for spaces they use on an exclusive basis, such as the break rooms, locker rooms, and office space. Airport Director Murphy further explained JWA is pleased to be in a position to present this to the board. The fiscal year revenue for this has been anticipated. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Airport Director Murphy stated JWA is required to provide TSA space to screen the passengers. TSA has not had a lease at all in the past; therefore, JWA made a policy decision to wait for a suitable lease to recommend to the Board.
No one from the public wished to address the Commission.
- AUTHORIZE SOLICITATION FOR BIDS-ELECTRICAL GENERATION PLANT (ASR 06-001350). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to adopt a list of pre-qualified contractors and subcontractors to bid on the Electrical Generation Plant project; approve plans and specifications and authorize solicitation for bids to the pre-qualified contractors. The Commission and Board hired an Architect Engineer to design the facility. The design is complete and JWA has completed a pre-qualification process and purchased the generators at a discounted price. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Airport Director Murphy stated we had a good response with excellent firms. The bid process is expected to be very competitive. County Counsel, Richard Oviedo stated JWA is the only department in which all complex public works projects are pre-qualified in order to determine the most qualified.
No one from the public wished to address the Commission.
On the motion and second of Chair Age and Commissioner Bristol, item 4 was passed unanimously.
