Finance Committee Report (Director Durbin) The report on this item was given by Treasurer and Director Durbin. The Finance Committee meet on 01/19/2023 and reviewed lengthy financial reports and statistics for the Airport. The Airport ran approximately four percent over budget, with the major contributor being the outsourcing of the police force. This continues to be larger than expected expenditure. Director Durbin also indicated that revenue generated by the Airport’s parking lot is expected to be below expectations and budget for 2023. Director Durbin covered numerous other financial and statistical reports, including revenue projections and accounts receivable. Having received this report, Director Neihoff moved to accept it. The motion was seconded by Director Cumbee, and the motion carried by unanimous voice acclamation without opposition. VII. Approval of December 2022 financial and statistical reports Many of the December 2022 financial and statistical reports discussed under this item were previously approved with the report from the Finance Committee. The Board then engaged in a general discussion about Contour Airlines and the services and customer service experiences since service began in December 2022. The Board heard reports of both good and unfavorable customer experiences and discussed ways to convey these to Contour. Following this discussion, Director Durbin moved to accept these reports. That motion was seconded by Director Roark, and the motion carried by unanimous voice acclamation without opposition. VIII. New Business a. Ratify the actions of the Executive Director regarding beam seating sales tax change order in the not to exceed amount of $2,606.10 (Destin). This item was presented by the Destin Nygard of Alliiance Architects. While the Board previously approved this item, the prior price quote did not include sales tax. The sales tax calculation was left out by the supplier of the products because of the incorrect assumption that the sales-tax exemption would pass through to the Board’s suppliers. Having received this information, Director Roark moved to ratify this item in the amount of $2,606.10. The motion was seconded by Director Neihoff, and the motion carried by unanimous voice acclamation without opposition. 3 | Page b.
