RE: SBAAC May 26th 2020 Port Commissioner Meeting Testimony 
Thank you, Commissioners, Port Executives and ADR Staff. 
My name is Kathy Casey, In the interest of time efficiency, I am offering, this testimony on behalf of all
22 business members of the SBAAC - Small Business Airport Action Committee. For the record, we will
submit a written copy of this testimony with the name of all members included. 

The relief plan the Port Staff is presenting today has the support of SBAAC and our appreciation for that
proposal. 

At the April 28th Commission Meeting many of our members expressed concerns about COVID's impact
on the viability of the ADR Concession program, particularly for small, women and minority owned
businesses. We appreciate your listening and taking our concerns to heart. Since that meeting, we have
had many follow up discussions with most of you and participated in several working meetings with
Lance Lyttle and Dawn Hunter. 

These meetings helped clarify the challenges all parties face and to uncover shortfalls in some of the
operating agreements and norms that had been established over the years. We hope our efforts and
input were a positive contribution to this process and set the example for future collaboration. 
While the solution before you does not provide for everything we believe is necessary, particularly in the
area of actual rent relief, we understand the Port has to balance many competing demands. Once travel
restrictions are lifted and we have insight into what the new normal looks like and how it impacts all our
operations, we hope we can continue our dialog and collaboration to address the challenges we face.

Thank you for your leadership and concern expressed throughout this process 
Thank you. 
Sincerely, 

Kathy Casey,                                      David Fukuhara
