1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. On the motion and second of Commissioner Bristol and Welsh, the minutes of the August 1, 2007 meeting were approved as amended. On the motion and second of Commissioner Bristol and Chair Junor, the minutes of August 15, 2007 were approved as written. Commissioner Welsh abstains.

2. ISSUE AMENDMENT RENEWAL WITH SPC SERVICES (ASR 07-001845). Airport Director Alan Murphy requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to issue an Amendment Renewal with SPC Airport Services for contract extension providing custodial maintenance services in an amount not to exceed $3,209,256 commencing October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. This contract reflects an increase over last year due to labor rates and the cost of a subcontracted carpet cleaning method essential to the new carpet. The cost effective method doubles the life of the carpet and keeps it much cleaner. Responding to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy stated that past experience proved direct contracting difficult to coordinate maintenance; the subcontract mark-up cost was limited and as an added benefit, would provide a single point of contact. Responding to Vice Chair Bristol, Director Murphy confirmed that marble is more costly and is currently found in heavy wear areas. In addition, acoustics are compromised if excessive marble is used. In response to Chair Junor, Director Murphy stated that cost increase is also a result of having tripled the carpet cleaned with the specialized process.
   
   On the motion and second of Vice Chair Bristol and Commissioner Blythe, Item 2 was passed unanimously.

3. SELECT CONSTRUCTION MANAGER – B1 PARKING STRUCTURE (ASR 07-001617). Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to select Barnhart, Inc as the primary Construction Manager and Owen Group as the alternate, to perform construction management services for the B1 Parking Structure project. Responding to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy explained that due to specialization and the size of the Terminal and Parking Structure projects, it was of greatest benefit to keep the projects separate. Responding to another question from Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy acknowledged that limited space would likely be an issue for parties completing the Terminal and Parking Structure projects, but anticipated it would be minimal. Responding to a request from Commissioner Blythe, Director Murphy agreed to provide an organizational chart to indicate roles of entities involved in the Improvement Program and budgeted amounts for each.
   
   On the motion and second of Vice Chair Bristol and Commissioner Welsh, Item 3 was passed unanimously.
   
   
4. ISSUE CONTRACT WITH SIGNATURE TECHNOLOGIES (ASR 07-001978). Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to issue a contract with Signature Technologies Inc., for Maintenance and Emergency Repair Services of Flight Information Display System/Baggage Information Display System and Master Clock Equipment, effective October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2010 in an amount not to exceed $375,000 renewable for two additional one-year periods. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Director Murphy stated that the system is in working order and under refurbishment. In response to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy stated that the Airport owns everything related to this extensive network. Responding to another question from Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy clarified that the monthly costs are substantiated by the size of the maintenance project and confirmed that staff is on site every day. At Commissioner Blythe’s request, Director Murphy agreed to provide a data summary comparing hardware and software maintenance costs. Responding to Commissioner Blythe, Deputy Director Serafini and Chief Technology Officer Harris stated that normal software upgrades and industry standard component replacements are included, respectively; when possible, components are refurbished.
   
   On the motion and second of Vice Chair Bristol and Commissioner Blythe, Item 4 was passed unanimously.
   
   
5. ISSUE AMENDMENT RENEWAL WITH SOFTCHOICE (ASR 07-001979).

Director Murphy explained that the purpose of this conference is to provide a platform for airport disaster response.
   
   On the motion and second of Commissioner Welsh and Vice Chair Bristol, Item 6 was passed unanimously.
