would have no comment at this time. Bill Tabbut, Manager, United Airlines, - also had no comment. However, he said his airlines had gone on record for deregulation and increased competition and thus, would favor an additional carrier. It was explained that Hughes Airwest has also made an application for a Eugene-Portland-Boise-Denver flight. Mr. LeShane said the Frontier Airlines application could be approved by CAB in a shorter period of time than their request for a flight to Denver, or the decision could be made at the same time. Mr. Kolstad said Frontier Airlines had an application in the same case as Hughes Airwest for a different route proposal. He said that the proposed new direct flight from Eugene to Denver would not compete in any way with the request by Hughes Airline, and would serve different customers. He noted the Frontier Airline request would be direct-flight from Eugene to the east; the Hughes Airwest request is for a flight from Eugene into Portland, and then on to Boise, which would serve Eugene customers directly to Portland. Mr. Obie and Ms. Smith commented on the current length of time for bag- gage retrieval, and hoped an additional air carrier would not add to that problem Bob Shelby, Airport Manager, said a meeting is scheduled Friday to begin the initial planning phases for the terminal expansion, which hopefully e would alleviate some of those problems. Regarding the staff memo stating various concerns for the Frontier Airline's request, he said the Airport Commission had discussed at length with Frontier Airlines those concerns at its meeting Tuesday, and is very comfortable with the airline's answers. He felt the extension of the service would be in the community's best interest. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to accept the report of the Airport Commission and instruct staff to take steps neces- sary to be a joint applicant for this particular route. Motion carried unanimously. IV. FINANCE: REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATION FOR STATE REVENUE SHARING FUNDS AND TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATIONS (memo and Res.
