CFO’s Report

Mr. Amond informed the Board that he has been working on finalizing the budget along

with Ms. Fogarty and Ms. Callahan.

Mr. Amond stated the status of various agreement reports has been updated for the Board.

Mr. Amond indicated he has been working with Ms. Fogarty on the purchasing and

accounts payable issues as we approach the transition point, moving from the City of

Syracuse paying all the bills over to the Authority, issuing purchase orders on our own

behalf. There will be a transition period and the City of Syracuse has agreed to issue

checks for purchase orders that were issued in this current year as we move to new

purchase orders for the next fiscal year where the Authority will take over the full

responsibility as well as purchasing.

Mr. Amond has been working with Onondaga County Purchasing to make sure

everything is in place as we phase into the new process.

A module has been purchased and been added to our own accounting system so we can

issue purchase orders directly or we can use Onondaga County Purchasing for

complicated items where they would have specialized knowledge.

We also contracted with Testone, Marshall & Discenza to review the internal policies that

we created relating to purchasing and accounts payable. Testone, Marshall & Discenza

were selected since we cannot use D’Arcangelo since they will be firm performing our

audit.

Mr. Amond stated we finalized an agreement with Hancock Estabrook, LLP for General

Counsel Services while our General Counsel position is not filled. We are looking at

filling the General Counsel position later this year or early 2015.

purchasing. He also indicated that State law changed this year and now shared services like this

was a new member at the meeting from Cortland County, Mr. Richard Bushnell. Mr. Sussey

reviewed some of the goals that have been created. He stated not only are they providing

advisory information but serve as a conduit of communication between the airport and the areas

Governance Committee Meeting Minutes

June 19, 2014

These minutes outline the activities of the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) Governance Committee from the meeting held on June 19, 2014 in the Department of Aviation Conference Room located at Syracuse Hancock International Airport.

The meeting was called to order at 12:05 p.m. by Ms. Irene Scruton, Chair of the Governance Committee.

In attendance: Ms. Irene Scruton, Ms. Beth Rougeux, Mr. Donald Thompson, Ms. Eleanor Ware, Mr. Khalid Bey, Mr. Mark Nicotra, Dr. Shiu Kai Chin, Ms. Christina Callahan, Mr. Trent Amond, Ms. Cheryl Herzog, Mr. Andrew Serota, Ms. Heather Malinowski and Mr. R. John Clark.

A motion was made by Mr. Nicotra and seconded by Mr. Thompson to accept the May 15, 2014 meeting minutes. The minutes were unanimously approved.

Ms. Scruton opened the meeting with a review of the proposed Parking and Travel Policy. Ms. Callahan stated that Mr. Amond took the existing Travel policy and incorporated a section covering parking. She stated that included in the Governance Committee packet is an email from Mr. Fisher with a modification to the drafted policy. The Committee agreed that Mr. Fisher’s modifications were acceptable. Ms. Scruton recommended that the SRAA Members and the Regional Advisory Board (RAB) be required to sign an acknowledgment, when issued a parking badge. The Committee agreed with Ms. Scruton’s recommendation. Ms. Rougeux stated that the SRAA Parking and Travel Policy included a section regarding mileage reimbursement and based the determination of whether the Member would receive mileage reimbursement on the County of the Member’s primary residence. She stated that the Committee may want to review the section and possibly base the determination on the number of miles driven, as opposed to location of their primary residence. The Committee discussed Ms. Rougeux’s suggestion and decided to leave the policy as written and will revisit annually. Ms. Scruton stated that she would like to add “For Members traveling on Authority business” preceding the first paragraph under the Overnight Accommodations section. Ms. Callahan stated that the revision would be made. The revised version will be circulated via email to the Committee for review and approval. The Committee voted unanimously to recommend the policy, with the revisions noted, for approval at the August SRAA Board meeting.

Ms. Callahan stated that there were not any updates on the RAB. The next meeting is scheduled for August 13, 2014. Ms. Scruton reviewed the protocol for the Annual Meeting with the Committee. Ms. Callahan stated that she has not heard back from the Mayor’s Office for confirmation of the Mayor speaking at the meeting.

The Committee agreed that the Annual Meeting will follow the same format as prior years. Ms. Scruton suggested Ms. Callahan give a brief statement at the meeting. The Committee reviewed the list of individuals that would be invited to the SRAA Annual Meeting. The Committee also gave Ms. Callahan some additional names to add to the list to either attend the meeting or send a report. The Committee reviewed the outline for the 2014 Annual Report to the Community. Ms. Scruton stated that the Committee will need to get any input or suggestions for the report to the staff by August 1, 2014. The Committee gave Ms. Callahan all of their suggested revisions, additions and items that should be highlighted in the report. Ms. Callahan stated that staff will review, make any necessary revisions and will email out the revised draft in July. Ms. Scruton reviewed the SRAA Confidential Evaluation of Board Performance forms. The Committee decided that the format will remain the same for 2014. Ms. Scruton stated that the iPads will be distributed at the August SRAA Regular meeting. There was no other business to be discussed. The meeting was adjourned at 1:03 p.m.

Proposed by Governance Committee, 6/19/14 Syracuse Regional Airport Authority

Authority Board Member and Regional Advisory Board Member

Parking and Travel Policy

The Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (the “Authority”) believes that Authority Board members and Regional Advisory Board (RAB) members should be reimbursed for certain reasonable and necessary business travel costs incurred while on Authority business. The Authority has established the following guidelines to follow when submitting expense statements for reimbursement of charges incurred as a result of business travel.

Overview

While on official Authority business at Syracuse Hancock International Airport, Authority Board and RAB members will be provided parking at no cost.

Parking

Authority Board and RAB members may park in the designated employee lot during times when they need to park a vehicle at the Airport and are not on Authority business. Authority Board and RAB members may request proximity cards for access into the employee lot. Any such request will be reviewed and acted upon by the Executive Director. Any proximity card issued to Authority Board or RAB members under this policy shall be discontinued upon expiration of the member’s term.

An Authority Board or RAB member may be reimbursed the standard mileage rate for use of a personal vehicle to attend regular, special or committee meetings of the Authority or RAB only if their primary residence lies in a county other than the county in which the meeting takes place. The standard mileage allowance for use of a personal vehicle is indexed according to the current IRS standard mileage rates. (www.irs.gov) In addition to mileage, reimbursement for tolls and parking will be allowed under the same circumstances. The Member’s expense statement should identify the date, time, location and amount of tolls and parking fees.

Travel

Members must receive approval by the full Authority for reimbursement of travel expenses incurred while on official Authority business outside of attending regular, special and committee meetings of the Authority or RAB.

Meal Expenses

A Member travelling on Authority business is eligible for reimbursement for meals. “Reasonable” per diem rates for meals should be based on current U.S. General Services Administration Per Diem Rates (www.gsa.gov). Reimbursements for meals do not include any alcoholic beverages.

Overnight Accommodations

For Members travelling on Authority business, reservations for hotel accommodations and rental vehicles are to be arranged by the Authority’s Secretary. The Authority will generally pay these fees directly to vendors via check to avoid sales taxes, and to obtain government price discounts whenever possible. “Reasonable” per diem costs for lodging in various areas should be based on the GSA per diem rates referenced above. Reasonable transportation expenses incurred for travel to hotel accommodations may also be submitted for consideration of reimbursement (e.g. taxis, subways and buses to and from airports and/or train stations).

Adopted: Proposed
