Restructuring 
SYNOPSIS: 
Port staff has determined the overall financial structure of the capital improvement
program (CIP) projects that comprise the NorthSTAR program. The purpose of this
briefing is to update the Commission on the status of the Airline Realignment program
and inform the Commission of changes to the NorthSTAR budget structure that have
occurred since initial project authorization. 
BACKGROUND: 
NorthSTAR Program 
On April 10, 2012, the Commission authorized expenditures on two aspects of the
NorthSTAR program - $1 million for preliminary project planning under CIP C800544
(North Satellite Renovations) and $200,000 for expense funding for the regulated
materials management (RMM) survey at the North Satellite. Authorization by the
airlines under the Majority in Interest approval process will be for separate projects that
comprise the NorthSTAR program rather than for the entire program at once. Staff has
now determined an overall structure for this program  staff will manage this work in six
separate CIP projects, one for programmatic oversight and five for the separate
construction elements. Staff is reallocating the approved funding accordingly. 
The six pieces are as follows: 
C800544  NS NorthSTAR Program (Programmatic CIP) 
C800545  NS Main Terminal Improvements 
C800547  NS Concourse C Vertical Circulation 
C800554  NS Exterior Stairs Conc. C & D

Staff is reallocating these authorized funds, all with no increase to the initial $1.2 million
authorization of April 10. In summary, staff is moving $900,000 to C800556, leaving
$300,000 in C800544. Also, regarding the regulated materials management (RMM)
survey, staff has now realized that at the current stage of this project, this work is a
capitalized cost rather than an expense, so has changed the funds type accordingly. 
Here are the re-allocations in detail:
