Mr. Piccolo requested authorization for the President, CEO to procure and execute a construction contract for the Security Checkpoint modifications project due to recent increases in passenger traffic and increased delays at the airport's security checkpoint. As our next meeting is in March, empowering the President to procure and execute a construction contract up to $775,000.00 will allow staff to expedite implementation of a redesign of the four lanes at security and speed up passenger flow at the checkpoint. Construction will be initially funded with Authority monies but will be submitted to FAA for reimbursement through PFC funding.

Resolution 2019-01, approved by the Board last year, will be renewed annually at the request of FDOT.

Mr. Piccolo requested approval of Resolution 2020-02 Revisions to the SMAA Employee and Tenant employee Parking Policy. The revised policy includes minor revisions and some substantial changes, i.e. eliminating the need for hangtags, prorating fees for the month and refunds for unused parking fees, adjusting the payment method to on-line credit card payments only, and language to allow the fee structure to be amended as part of the annual budget amendment. The low employment rate has created a turnover of employees with our service companies and created an extra workload for our ID office and the billing staff. The revised policy will help staff to focus attention on other needed areas and eliminate workflow interruptions by reducing traffic to the third-floor offices.
