TUESDAY, APRIL 22,2003                             P.3 
In January 2003 the Commission approved a three-year contract with Marketplace
Development, an airport concessions developer and third party manager, to assist with
concessions and retail leasing and development efforts at the airport. 
Marketplace Development and Port staff undertook research and initial outreach to 
identify potential local and national tenants. In many cases, individual meetings with
tenants were held to encourage their interest in an airport location. A public meeting was
held on February 27, 2003 to describe opportunities, answer questions and solicit interest.
More than 150 people representing approximately 90 companies attended the meeting.
Over 200 companies were contacted and 114 companies applied for 10 venues (38 retail
and 76 food and beverage). Of these, 61 are either Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
(DBE's), applied for DBE status or will apply for DBE status.
Mr. Natarajan advised staff would return to the Commission in May 2003 requesting
approval of the Tier I contracts and in June 2003 for Tier II contracts approval. He then
introduced Robert Weinberg, President, Marketplace Development, who reviewed the
following topics. A summary of Commission/Mr. Weinberg/staff discussion is as
follows: 
OVERVIEW 
LAYOUT OF CENTRAL TERMINAL 
OVERALL TERMINAL MAP 
MARKET CONDITIONS 
OBJECTIVES 
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS 

Commissioner Molloy and Mr. Weinberg discussed pre-and post-security infrastructure 
as it relates to space and efficiency for the delivery and movement of supplies, potential
impacts to Tier III venue operators, marketing efforts for tenants with respect to operating
in an airport environment, complexities of operations. In response to Commissioners 
Molly and Davis, Mr. Weinberg advised that part of the scope of work in the contract 
with Marketplace was to bring into the Airport tenants that are typically not airport
tenants. Mr. Weinberg reported that these perspective tenants would be made
aware/taken through the pitfalls for operating in an airport environment.
