e In describing the additive options, the following areas were covered: east-face expansion (front entrance area). additional bay to ticket areas. covered boarding. loading bridges/stairs. covered walkways/parking extension. business center/observation area (second level.) The second level business center/observation area would include some rentable space. Ms. McCarty suggested that private funds be solicited to cover the expense of the meeting room. Mr. Hanson asked about the demand for meeting space, and Mr. Shelby said he would get this information. Mr. Holmer had an interest in eventual installation of escalators; Mr. Obie had a concern that the size of the business center meeting room may not be large enough. Ms. Wooten was interested in retail space potential. Mr. Hanson suggested that a small conference room (adjacent to the restaurant), be considered as part of the plan. Ms. Wooten suggested that a survey be done to determine if there is a need for more commercial and/or retail space. Ms. Wooten asked for passenger boarding projections in 1990, and Mr. Shelby said it is estimated that there would be 650,000 total passenger movements by 1983. e Mr. Smith continued with more detailed drawings of sheltered boarding plans, interior views of ticketing counters, the covered parking structure, sheltered boarding, and several elevations of exterior terminal views. Ms. Wooten asked for an explanation of the financial implications. Mr. Shelby said that there could be upwards of $4 million from the Federal government. A consultant is currently developing a financing package from projected airport expenditures and revenues. The financing package will not include income from new taxation unless so directed by the council. Both the financial package and a refined plan will come back to the City Council. The meeting was recessed from 6:25 to 6:35 p.m. II.
