Committee clarifies voting protocol: one voting seat each for airport and parking offices

The Airport and Parking Committee agreed to a clarified voting protocol that will recognize one voting representative from the airport office and one voting representative from the parking division. The chair said she had spoken to the city council office and relayed a recommendation from Nancy Walls that the committee have one voting member from each of those offices; additional staff from those offices may continue to participate in discussion but will not cast votes. The chair said the committee’s voting membership otherwise remains the comptroller, the mayor and the board of aldermen as the ordinance describes. "What Nancy Walls has suggested that we do going forward is to have 1 person from the airport and 1 person from the parking division as voting members," the chair said. The chair stated she would serve as the parking voting member and that Antonio would be the voting member for the airport. The committee subsequently approved the minutes from the previous meeting by motion and roll-call vote. The transcript does not record any formal amendment to the underlying ordinance; the committee described this as a procedural clarification and did not indicate that a separate ordinance change was enacted during the meeting.
