He recommended that the Board conduct an internal search for ninety (90) days. During this period, Mr. Penksa would have the opportunity to meet individually with each Board member and discuss their goals and objectives for the airport. The ninety-day period would also provide an opportunity for the Board to determine if it should offer Mr. Penksa the job of Chief Executive Officer, and would give Mr. Penksa the opportunity to determine if his vision for the airport is consistent with the Board s goals and objectives.

Mr. Dunlap recommended conducting an internal review in lieu of advertising the position. Mr. Stanley explained that Mr. Dunlap s recommendation would provide the Board and Mr. Penksa the opportunity to determine if their goals and objectives are consistent. He stated that if the Board determines that it is comfortable with Mr. Penksa, it can offer him the position of Chief Executive Officer and avoid the expense of conducting a search. A lengthy discussion followed with members contributing ideas and finalizing the wording of Mr. McEachern s motion. Mr. McEachern moved the following motion: To accept Rick Crider s resignation effective February 17, Mr. Crider will continue as Chief Executive Officer until January 15, after which time he will be available to assist in the transition under the terms of his present contract; To appoint Allan Penksa as Acting Chief Executive Officer for the period January 15 through February 17; To appoint Allan Penksa as Interim Chief Executive Officer for a period of ninety (90) days, or for a longer or shorter period as may be determined by the Board, and to select a candidate with whom to make an offer.

Mark Goldstein and Jim Stringfellow were absent. Board members Peter Johnson and Mac McEachern were also present. Approval of Meeting Highlights of December 14, 2006 Mr. Thomas moved to approve the meeting highlights of December 14, The highlights were approved. Terminal Renovation Phase 2 Financing Update Mr. Penksa reported that he met with the FAA and that the FAA is willing to revise the scope of an existing AIP grant to increase its funding of the Terminal Renovation Phase 2 through entitlement funds beyond fiscal year By amending the floorplan and eligible areas to be included in the scope of the grant, FAA funding will increase from seventy-five percent (75%) to ninety-five percent (95%) on renovations made to the passenger waiting and atrium areas. Mr. Penksa noted that this revision is contingent on Congress passing a new AIP funding bill. Mr. Penksa stated that this change in AIP grant would permit the airport to use PFC collections for furnishings and the concession area build-out. Mr. Penksa reported that the anticipated change in AIP funding would reduce the amount needed to be borrowed at the start of construction from $3.6 million to zero. Mr. Crocker noted that since the additional AIP funding would not be available until FY08, taxfree grant anticipation bridge loans may be required. He reported that he has already discussed this issue with Compass Bank and found that the bank was open to this financing plan. Mr. Penksa stated that this change in funding would also allow the airport to use PFC collection for HVAC improvements in the ticket and baggage claim lobbies. Mr. Thomas stated that this was great news and the committee was pleased with the new plans for funding of the project. Revised Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Mr. Penksa reported that staff is assembling an updated CIP spreadsheet and cash flow analysis. He stated that he will prioritize the projects for the committee s review. 1

28 DRAFT Page Number 26 It was the consensus of the committee not to take on any other large projects due to the number of projects currently underway. Second Staff Signature on Checks Mr. Crider noted that it is helpful to have two staff members eligible to sign GACRAA checks under $10,000. Currently, he and Mr. Penksa are the two designated staff signatories. This ensures that checks can be signed and mailed to recipients in a timely manner when the Chief Executive Officer is absent. He suggested naming a staff member outside of the Accounting Department, and recommended naming Suzanne Schiemann, Manager, Communications and Human Resources as the second authorized staff signatory. Mr. Thomas agreed with this recommendation. Mr. Dunlap moved to designate Suzanne Schiemann as the second staff signatory on GACRAA checks. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. Motion passed. Avis Rental Car Notification Mr. Crocker distributed copies of an October 3, 2006 letter received from Cendant Car Rental Group, the parent of Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. Mr. Crocker reported that Avis claims that they have overstated gross revenues received from operations at Gainesville Regional Airport for the two (2) years ending May 31, 2005 and May 31, Avis claims that they have overpaid concession fees to the airport in the amount of $68, and intends to deduct this amount from its January 2007 concession payment. Mr. Crocker recommended negotiating a settlement with Avis since it may cost $60,000 to audit Avis gross receipts and contest their claim through litigation. He stated that a budget amendment may be required for the settlement amount. Mr. Crocker stated that he is meeting with the Attorney for the Authority on January 12 to review and determine the airport s response regarding this issue.
