  2. APPROVE ASSIGNMENT OF HUDSON MEDIA TO ADVENT INTERNATIONAL (ASR 07- 002735). The Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to approve the assignment of the News and Gift and Specialty Retail concession leases at John Wayne Airport from Hudson Media, Inc. to Advent International Corporation, and authorize the Chair of the Board to sign the consent letter dated December 13, 2007. Responding to Chair Junor, Director Murphy stated that the purchasing company is very viable and no risk is perceived.

    On the motion and second of Commissioner Bristol and Commissioner Blythe, Item 2 was passed unanimously.

  3. APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE ARCHITECT-ENGINEER AGREEMENT WITH POPOV ENGINEERS (ASR 07-002808). The Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to approve and execute Amendment No. 3 to the Architect-Engineer Agreement with Popov Engineers, Inc. for the development of schematic design drawings and complete technical specifications for an Electric Generation Plant. Director Murphy informed the Commission that functionality, project re-sequencing and cost factors made it prudent to change the planned location of the cogeneration plant; this is a no cost change order. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Deputy Director Serafini stated that this change will not incur time delays for the Improvement Program.

    On the motion and second of Commissioner Bristol and Commissioner Blythe, Item 3 was passed unanimously.

  4. SELECT RBF TO DESIGN THE PHASE II PERIMETER ROAD (ASR 08-000058). The Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to select RBF as the primary Architect-Engineer firm and A-E Consulting as the alternate firm to perform design and construction administration services for the Perimeter Road Reconstruction, Phase II project, and authorize Airport Director to negotiate an agreement with the primary firm and submit it to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The Airport Director summarized the submittal results. In response to Commissioner Blythe, Director Murphy stated the design is simple but required due to challenges such as soil conditions, section planning, fuel truck access, etc.; current road must be torn out and redone. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Director Murphy confirmed that subsurface needs will not require tearing out this road out after completion.

    On the motion and second of Commissioner Bristol and Commissioner Blythe, Item 4 was passed unanimously.

  5. SUMMARY OF RELEVANT ACTIONS BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. All items were approved as recommended. Director Murphy informed the Commissioners that the K9 Grant Application ASR bypassed the Airport Commission due to short notice on the application process; the Commission did not meet within the timeframe to meet the application deadline.

  6. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
    1. Other Business - None.

    2. Legislative Update - None.

    3. Items of Interest to the Public - Director Murphy briefly summarized the issue presented in a letter addressed to Commissioners and the Board of Supervisors regarding portable aircraft shade structures.
