5 Full Commission Meeting Page 4 Where is the pet assistance area and nursing mother's room? How do people know where those are? Do we still get requests for a smoking room? For those who don't receive the Foundation's newsletter, there are examples of letters every month from people writing in and complimenting Travelers Assistance about the extraordinary service they provide. They do a great job. How is the revenue from charitable gambling broken down across the State? One of the things the Commission is looking at is stepping up community outreach such as more tours at the airport, and stepping up activity at the Reliever Airports to promote aviation generally. Do you think the Foundation would have the capability and resources for this extra revenue to partner with the Commission and our Reliever staff to support that effort? One of your bullet points said that the Airport Foundation was working with Sr. Staff with respect to funding, can you comment on that particular project and the scope of what that discussion will be about? There are a number of concessionaires at the airport that have charity donation boxes at the cash registers. I would encourage the Airport Foundation to take advantage of that and everywhere there isn't a donation box at a concession, arrange for one for the Airport Foundation. This was an information Item. No Commission action was requested. OLD BUSINESS - Board File No Strategic Plan Update Jeff Hamiel, Executive Director/CEO provided an update on the Strategic Plan. Questions and comments from Commissioners were as follows: Security breaches went from zero to six - why did that occur? Strategic goals in strength in relationships and partnerships, one of the key initiatives is increasing better relationships with the business community. Is there any key initiative that addresses community outreach? How do Commissioners become informed when there is outreach going on in the communities in our districts? Suggest a bullet point under Strength in Partnerships on the same level as regional business leaders for the community. Also, another bullet point similar to the one on Page 14 - sponsor increasing dialogues with communities around the airport. Have you looked at statistics regarding employee turnover? Is that due to latent attrition and retirements or is there some concern about employees' satisfaction that we need to address? State Legislative Update Mitchell Kilian, Director of Legislative Affairs, provided Commissioners with a Legislative Session Tracking List and reviewed pertinent bills of interest to the Commission. Questions and comments from Commissioners: Support having meetings at a more accessible location, however, we ought to be able to negotiate some sort of capital outlay so that we can get prepared for this to happen. If we stay silent on it, it could happen as an unfunded mandate or we take some sort of proactive approach and ask for some capital dollars. Are we having those conversations at the Capitol?

6 Full Commission Meeting Page 5 We already have a policy that we try to have our meetings at least once a year outside of the airport and if we know it will be a meeting with many people, we have the meeting at a more accessible place. Legislators are being reminded of that. In terms of strong public input, the best opportunities are evening meetings that are not decision making meetings per se but for the opportunity for people to come and voice their opinions' and those have occurred in easily accessible community settings. When a decision point is reached on one of those issues of concern, making it more accessible makes sense. It is very helpful to have the meetings in the airport twice a month because I see things around the airport and know what is going on. From a Commissioner standpoint, I need to be in the airport and feel I do a better job as a Commissioner being here on a more frequent basis. If we find a location in a non-secure area where we can have live feed, for the times when there will be a large public attendance, would be a good idea. This was an information item. No Commission action required.
