During the presentation, staff reiterated to the Commission that attempts were being
made for the elimination of the alternative minimum tax designation on the Airport and
Seaport bonds, including the Rental Car Facility. 
Commission discussion regarding unfunded marine maintenance suggested that it would
be important to include deferred maintenance projects within the budget. Commissioner
Bryant noted that while there was a need to focus on both the unfunded maintenance as
well as prospective capital projects, perhaps some of the maintenance would need to be
done rather than doing some new capital expenditures. 
Commissioner Tarleton proposed that staff be directed to include $2.7M in the 2009
budget for unfunded marine maintenance, and provide information on the impacts of
doing so. Staff clarified that they would make the changes as requested; that first reading
could be done at this time; and that changes could still be made to the resolution prior to
second reading and final passage. 
Commissioner Tarleton was absent from the meeting from this time forward.
