Committee Discussion /Questions <br /> The City Council Airport Committee had submitted to the Port a list of seven questions for <br /> discussion at the meeting. The Port summarized answers to each question in the attached <br /> handout and each was briefly discussed. <br /> Regarding change of meeting dates, the Port agreed that flexibility in meeting schedules <br /> could allow an opportunity for more public to attend and recommended that a future meeting <br /> be held on an evening. Committee Members concurred that an evening meeting would be <br /> good for broader attendance. Port and City staff will work together to schedule a future <br /> evening meeting. <br /> Regarding replies to questions from the Port Board of Commissioners, the request was made <br /> to have questions to Port staff at least 20 days prior to each meeting. That will give staff time <br /> to prepare responses and share information with the Commissioners. The Port will also make <br /> an attempt to provide the City with responses to the questions prior to each meeting. <br /> Regarding the need to encourage Fed -Ex to eliminate 727's from its fleet as soon as possible, <br /> Director of Aviation Grossman stated that the response he continues to receive from FedEx is <br /> that the 727's will be phased out "over time." Committee Member Santos asked for a <br /> timeline for this phase -out. Mr. Grossman will ask FedEx again for a more definitive time <br /> line. Committee Member Grant asked the Port to take a leadership role nationally in getting <br /> FedEx to be more aggressive in this phase -out. <br />
