COMMITTEE REPORTS

Regular Agenda

1) Discussion on the topic of hiring a lobbyist for the Airport

Mr. Williams briefed that a recurring question with the Airport's Board of Directors (and with the City, County and other Yuma organizations) revolves around the use of a Washington DC lobbyist. To help us understand some of the factors involved Mr. Pat Mitchell, a Washington Lobbyist, originally from Yuma, will provide some insight into what a lobbyist could do for us.

Airport Staff meet with Mr. Mitchell early Monday afternoon and provide him with the Airport's strategic vision.

After a lengthy discussion he committee felt that it would be a good idea to revisit this question early next year. No further action is planned at this time.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business before the committee the meeting adjourned at 5:09PM.
