Council seeks roster and minority-participation details for airline consortium funding baggage upgrades

Council members pressed staff for transparency about the airline consortium that will fund and maintain the airport's baggage system improvements. One member requested "the listing of those people who formulate" the consortium and asked specifically about minority participation among those representatives.

Staff said the consortium is made up of the airport's signatory airline partners and indicated that the demographic notes may refer to employees rather than the changing airline representatives. Assistant Director Kramer said the airport would provide the listing on request. The committee directed staff to supply the roster and to clarify who the two minority participants listed in the materials represent.

The request for names and minority-participation details will inform subsequent oversight of the contract and any required outreach to local minority-owned businesses.
