Even though it's taken me a day to get back, I want to let you know how much I appreciated it. The commission presentation went well today, though it was rather comical because the Port Commission president (who couldn't care less about concessions) kept asking me to hurry along, but the problem was that the other commissioners kept asking questions (with long preludes to their questions). So just as soon as he'd interrupt to say 'hurry up' another commissioner would use that millisecond to jump in. it happened over and over! The president told me that I had 5 minutes left when I had only made it to slide 4 of 17!!! We're heading into budget season and the information below is incredibly helpful and it's already spurred the powers that be to ask me to do further research on this 'issue.' We been asked to contact a slew of airports to find out more about staff, type of program, it of contracts, and staffing. I'll do that in my spare time. I am absolutely here on Thursday and would love to see you. You just name your time. Around long enough for lunch? 'Elie'says l!\7e'gon-et5'th'dasid75ee b'elw?

Renee has no idea what he is talking about. He says that he's been in the airport business for 15 years and he's still making a small profit so he doesn't need to sell. i had to listen to his cop stories and about what a big gun he used to carry and how there were "no rules." Poor Amy had to sit with him during those stories. D On 6/24/10 10:00 AM, "Bonnie Darch" wrote: Now that I'm back up in my chair...did you talk to Jerry about the MR at all?

And I agree with your nal statement...but that is the key...if anybody wants this to stand up to the scrutiny it will now be under by the FAA, and by other firms who are going to ask for the same treatment. Alan "From: Zachrisson, Deanna |mailQZaghrin.D@pomttl.grg] IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 1:17 PM To: Alan Gluck Subject: RE: Host lease Yes, this is of course exactly what I was thinking, and l confirmed yesterday that I can demand nancials. I know we discussed this before, in the maelstrom of the motion last year, but I think that I want audited P&Ls, cash ows, long- term debt, correct? I'll have to be very specific or they'll try to give me something else (usually something we already have. I want to limit the folks we'll even consider to concourses A & D, since we are not giving relief for the recession because everyone felt that and everyone would run to the fore. Something along the lines of exceptional circumstances. I do like the additional "information regarding what actions they have taken to address sales." Any specic metrics on that one that you'd suggest? AirProjects would end up doing any analysis. My strong beliefIS that they will not, as they never have been willingIn the past, to provide financials. Then it will be up to the political strength of the Port to not cave on that point D From: Alan Gluck [mai|tg-,Alang@airprojgt.net| Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 10:10 AM To: Zachrisson, Deanna Subject: RE: Host lease I'm so sorry Deanna...was hoping this was a forgotten little footnote that could have helped you out on this. In terms of a staff proposal, let's circle back to the only fair basis...they need to prove that they were damaged and prove how much they were damaged. Those who are requesting "relief" must provide at least 3 years of detailed by-store nancials as well as information regarding what actions they have taken to address their sales issues. Then, a 3rd party (I recommend us) can do an analysis of the true impact and make recommendations for any true-ups that may be necessary. If they refuse to participate by providing information, then there is no way they can legitimately cry foul anymore, as you afforded them an opportunity and they refused to participate. Hope this helps.

But this is a good reminder, because yesterday I got some marching orders to come up with a staff proposal to make our issues go away sooner rather than later. Of course, I wanted to just tell them that they've got to wait until we gure out the MP, but we are apparently in too much agony to wait that long. I will make sure to use this in my one-page proposal. More later.
