Retirement Resolution - Melvin Leong No Mr. John Martin, Airport Director, said that Mel Leong has worked at the Airport for 38 years and he is retiring after a very successful carrer. He began working at the Airport shortly after the existing International Terminal opened. We were beginning work on the South Terminal and the North Terminal had not yet been built. Mel was responsible for putting in the utility system to serve the terminals, replacing the 1920s system. He established our wastewater treatment plant, which is one of the premier facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has most recently handled the environmental clean-up for the Master Plan and completed it on track in order to allow the Master Plan to move forward. He is now updating the utility system throughout the Airport to carry us into the next century. Mel has been a great team player and has always had the respect of employees and tenants. Mr. Martin congratulated Mel on his 38 years of service and wished him well in his retirement. Minutes, June 3, 1997, Page 3

ITEMS INITIATED BY COMMISSIONERS: Commissioner Strunsky asked if staff has organized a Year 2000 Program (Y2K program) to be sure that our computerized systems all over the Airport are not going to have a problem in dealing with the four digit year. He noted that many companies are establishing Y2K committees to provide quality assurance. Mr. Martin noted that there are significant impacts for both the Airport and the City as a whole. The Airport s Information Technology Department has been working on this for two years. A City committee headed by the Controller s Office is also working on this. F. ITEMS RELATING TO MASTER PLAN PROJECTS: Item Nos. 2 and 3 were adopted unanimously. 2. Award Contract 5750B - North Cargo Facility/Apron - Lathrop/D.J.

It will be networked into the systems of the existing terminals. Commissioner Strunsky asked if the basic concept of the system is something that has been Minutes, June 3, 1997, Page 5

6 done before. Mr. Southard responded that all of the systems have been tested and proven. Commissioner Strunsky assumed that this was not old technology and that it would provide flexibility for the future. Mr. Southard responded that the system can be enhanced for growth. Mr. Martin added that while we are going with tried and true technology, this fiber optic system will have the ability to keep adding state of the art systems over time. Commissioner Mazzola asked how many bidders were expected. Mr. Southard responded that he believed that five to seven bidders will respond. Commissioner Mazzola asked if these bidders will have done this same work at airports in the past. Mr. Southard responded that one of the requirements is that bidders must have already done work at equivalent or comparable airports.

Commissioner Quan noted that there was no foreign language requirement. Mr. Ballard responded that there was some debate with the industry and among staff. There was previously a requirement for several languages. It was found that different systems have identified their market and require different languages. Staff felt that since we have established a competitive environment in this process that we would let the market itself dictate what Minutes, June 3, 1997, Page 8

9 language is required by each provider. 12.

Mr.Ray Sloan, representing several shuttle services, said that it was four years ago that the companies were placed into zones. At that time the Commission asked the companies to come up with a plan that would provide the most equitable way of proceeding. The companies came up with a plan, working with transportation consultant Jerry Goldberg. He said that the time has come to put in place an equitable program that does not give unfair advantage to any company, but instead treats all companies the same. Mr. Martin added that the Airport has hired a consultant, Tony Bruzzone, to evaluate our ground transportation operation, especially with respect to door-to-door service and the scheduled bus service. He said that he will make sure that this report is transmitted to Mr. Bruzzone. Mr. Sloan thought that it would be appropriate to have a representative of these operators present at the table. J.
