we have a fuel farm agreement, that is signed by the FBO’s (Fixed Base Operators), to put fuel into our fuel farm and it is a standard fuel farm management agreement. Commissioner Scott asked if she could see the fuel farm management agreements and Mr. Giardino said absolutely. Commissioner Coleman said he would like to make sure we are competitive with other airports in the region and he doesn’t want us to charge the highest rate for fuel. Commissioner Coleman also asked who is responsible for maintaining the fuel tanks and Mr. Giardino reported that we are. Mr. Giardino recommends that we have auditors come in to do internal audits on our contracts. Contracts such as FBO’s, rental cars, etc. Commissioner Scott asked if we would be auditing the contracts and Mr. Giardino reported that we would hire a firm to perform the audit and make sure everyone is in compliance. Commissioner Scott asked if it is stated in the leases that we can perform an audit. Mr. Giardino will check into that and stated that for future contracts we would like to incorporate that into new leases we enter into. Mr. Giardino would like to budget into fiscal year 18-19 the cost of an internal auditor and would like to perform an audit per quarter. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ‘S REPORT Mr. Michael Giardino, Executive Director, gave the following report: • Committees- The Commission has established committees already, the ByLaws committee and Air Service Development committee. Mr. Giardino recommends changing the name of the ByLaws committee to the Governance committee to look at how the Commission runs but also the governance of it. It would oversee things such as conflict of interest training, changes to FAA rules and how we accept grants and things of this nature. He would also like to recommend the establishment of a Finance/Audit committee. He would like to establish regular meetings of the committees and have them report back to the Commission. RESOLVED, that the Peninsula Airport Commission rename the ByLaws Committee to the Governance Committee and create a Finance/Audit Committee, with appointments to the said Finance/Audit Committee to be made at a later date. Commissioner Steve Mallon made the motion and Commissioner Rob Coleman seconded the motion. Voting yes were: Rob Coleman, Steve Mallon, Sharon Scott, and George Wallace.
