Executive Vice President/COO Ann Morgan General Counsel Claire Johnson Clerk of the Board MEMBERS ABSENT/EXCUSED None The Board of Trustees met in the Board Room, Airport Authority Administrative Offices, Reno-Tahoe International Airport, Reno, Nevada. Chairman Andy Wirth called the meeting to order. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. II. ELECTION OF OFFICERS Chair Wirth stated that pursuant to Nevada Statutes (Section 7, Chapter 474, Statutes of Nevada 1977), the next rotation of the Chairmanship of this Board is a City of Reno appointee. He further stated that the following Board members were appointed by the City of Reno: Rick Murdock, Jerry Hall, Jessica Sferrazza and Jenifer Rose. The Board also has to elect a Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. Chair Wirth asked if there was a motion nominating a slate of candidates for these positions. Trustee Sferrazza asked a question regarding the rotation of the Chair position, as to whether the City of Sparks is next in the rotation, followed by Washoe County and then the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA). Marily Mora, President/CEO, responded yes, that is correct. Trustee Sferrazza restated that the City of Sparks would be in the Chairman s role next year through State Statute. Chair Wirth confirmed that statement, but said there is no such provision for the rest of the Officer positions. On motion by Trustee Carasali, seconded by Trustee Hall, which motion duly carried by unanimous vote, the Board approved the election of Trustee Rick Murdock as Chair of the Board for Fiscal Year

2 Page 2 of 10 The following officers were also unanimously elected: Vice Chair Andy Wirth (RSCVA Appointee) Secretary Jessica Sferrazza (City of Reno Appointee) Treasurer Lisa Gianoli (Washoe County Appointee) At this point in the meeting, the gavel and Chairman s seat were handed over to newly elected Chairman Rick Murdock who continued with the next agenda item and conducted the balance of the meeting. III. ROLLCALL Roll was called. IV. PRESENTATIONS AND AWARDS A. Recognition of Outgoing Chair Chair Murdock began by saying it has been an Airport tradition to recognize the outgoing Chair each year and say thank you for all that has been accomplished during the past year. Chair Murdock told Trustee Wirth that he has done a great job as Chairman. He went on to say that what was interesting about Trustee Wirth becoming chair is that the RTAA knew about him back during the prior CEO s tenure, when Trustee Wirth was in Steamboat Springs, CO. Chair Murdock said at that time, Trustee Wirth was already known for his knowledge and involvement in air service, and then low and behold, Andy Wirth lands at Squaw Valley as the CEO. Chair Murdock shared that the former RTAA CEO expressed interest in getting Mr. Wirth involved in the community and the Airport, and of course, the rest is history. Chair Murdock talked about the previous separation between the lake and the valley, when community committees had two different agendas, one for gaming and one for skiing. When Trustee Wirth joined the Board of Trustees and became involved in the region, he actually threaded the needle, and now we are all one region together as a community of Reno-Tahoe. Chair Murdock said that the number one thing he wished to recognize Trustee Wirth for is bringing the area together as a region, and for increasing air service, for example, by bringing Delta back into the region. Chair Murdock also cited Trustee Wirth s work toward Board governance at the last retreat and his effort to help the Board grow. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the RTAA staff, and the community, Chair Murdock thanked Trustee Wirth for his leadership and presented him with the gavel plaque in formal recognition of his Chairmanship. Ms. Mora stated that this was a Chairman who was very decisive and noted that Trustee Bill Eck has been working toward fulfilling Trustee Wirth s special request for a ride with the Blue Angels. Ms. Mora said she hopes that wish comes to fruition during the Air Races in September. However, whether it is in commemoration or as a consolation, Ms. Mora presented Trustee Wirth with a model FA/18A Hornet Blue Angels Fighter Jet, along with a framed aerial photo of the Airport with Lake Tahoe in the background. Ms. Mora thanked Trustee Wirth on behalf of staff and made not of his leadership on everything from air service to economic development and sustainability. She said staff has constantly appreciated his direction and for always challenging the RTAA to be on the forefront of initiatives.

3 Page 3 of 10 Chair Murdock asked how many new flights were added during Trustee Wirth s term as Chairman. Brian Kulpin, VP of Marketing and Public Affairs, said there have been eight new flight announcements during the past 12 months. Trustee Wirth thanked everyone and said he would begin and end his term with two key things. First, it is about the success of the region, and for this Airport it is about the catchment area. The Airport does not serve just Reno or just Sparks, but serves the entire catchment area from Lake Tahoe to Sparks and the entire region. Trustee Wirth said he trusts the Board will keep that focus. Secondly, he said, is the concept of servant leadership, and that he truly believes that a Board of policy and governance is what the RTAA Board strives to be and should be. Part of that is adopting the fundamental concept that staff does not serve the Board, but that the Board serves staff. Trustee Wirth stated that is a very important concept to embrace in virtually everything the Board does going forward, and that he knows this will take place under Chair Murdock s leadership. He thanked the entire Board for their support, and Trustee Eck for his efforts in securing him a seat in a fighter jet, which he said is personally very meaningful to him. Trustee Wirth mentioned the concept of solar plus storage and the Airport being a leader in the region along with other leadership entities such as Tesla. He said he hopes the RTAA will continue on with that initiative. Trustee Wirth said he has worked with executive teams of several airports, i.e. Salt Lake City International Airport, Denver International Airport, and at Vancouver International Airport, and stated that the RTAA has a really fine staff. Trustee Wirth ended by saying that everybody on the team is nothing short of outstanding and it is truly an honor to work with the staff, and certainly a pleasure and an honor to serve with the other Trustees. B. Employee, Tenant and Special Recognitions Ms. Mora announced the recipient of the Employee of the Quarter for the 2nd quarter of Corby Agid, Network Administrator II in the Technology & Information Systems (IT) Department, was recognized for being a go to guy. Mr. Agid, who began at the Airport in November of 1999 as a Network Specialist, has a passion for his work and celebrates success when the solution works. One of the tasks that Mr. Agid is responsible for is reviewing all of the work tickets that come into IT and assigning the tickets to a specific staff member. Ms. Mora stated that Mr. Agid was nominated by the terminal mini warehouse staff because of a technical computer problem they were experiencing, that caused them not to be able to use their computers at all. Mr. Agid jumped right in and immediately resolved the issue. Ms. Mora said Mr. Agid has always been committed to the organization and congratulated him on this welldeserved award. Next, Ms. Mora introduced Soraya Bedout Morz, Scheduler/Planner in the Building Maintenance & Services Department, who was recently granted her U.S. Citizenship on May 20, Ms. Mora said that Ms. Morz joined the RTAA in March of 2015 and she is an individual who always volunteers on the various events that are held within the organization. Ms. Morz was born in Columbia, South America and came to the United States in October She earned her Bachelor s degree in Electronics Engineering from Pontifical Xavierian University. Following that, she worked as an Intern at IBM in Columbia for two years. Ms. Mora stated the RTAA is fortunate to have Ms. Morz s educational background and experience as part of the organization, and congratulated her on this wonderful accomplishment. Ms. Morz thanked Ms. Mora and the Trustees for giving her the opportunity to share this amazing

4 Page 4 of 10 experience. She said that the ceremony when she was honored with her U.S. citizenship was beautiful, and that she will never take her citizenship for granted. Rick Gorman, Chief Financial Officer, announced that the RTAA s Accounting team was awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). This represents the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and it is the 29 th year running for the RTAA to receive the award. Mr. Gorman congratulated the Accounting team and presented them with the award. Ms. Mora said that next on the agenda is recognition for JetBlue. She reminded everyone that a year ago in May 2015 was when JetBlue began non-stop service to JFK, and that on August 15, 2016, the RTAA will celebrate a new JetBlue flight to Long Beach, CA. Ms. Mora introduced Tony Torres and Jenelle Ginoza, Supervisors for JetBlue, to talk about how the RNO Station was named one of the five BlueCity of the Year stations. Mr. Torres described that one of the tenets of the JetBlue Company is to inspire humanity. One way in which JetBlue develops that inspiration is by fostering connections with the community. Crew members are invited to participate in the community connection by volunteering their time and submitting their hours. For every 25 hours volunteered, JetBlue rewards the employee with a roundtrip travel certificate that can be donated through a raffle at the particular organization where they volunteered, or to reward an individual in the organization. JetBlue evaluates the variety and amount of volunteer hours by crew members, and at RNO, which has 7 crew members and 3 in leadership, there have already been over 200 hours of community services logged this year. Mr. Torres added that the JetBlue Company as whole has generated 40,000 hours of community services. Based on the size of the Station, as well as the variety and number of volunteer hours logged, JetBlue awarded RNO Station with a $10,000 grant to be contributed to organizations in the local area. Mr. Torres shared that two organizations have already been selected Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful (KTMB) and Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (JDRF). In addition, two more organizations will be selected. Mr. Torres said he and Ms. Ginoza are very proud to be part of the RNO Station and thanked everyone for welcoming JetBlue with open arms and being so receptive to everything that the company stands for. Ms. Mora stated it is just awesome that JetBlue is becoming part of this community and congratulated Mr. Torres and Ms. Ginoza on the award. C. Introduction of New, Promoted and Retired Employees Dean Schultz, Executive Vice President/COO, introduced two new employees Richard Lee, Airfield Technician in Airfield Maintenance, and Jed Hammer, Airport Planner II, in the Engineering & Planning Department. Next, Mr. Schultz recognized three Facilities Maintenance employees on their upcoming promotions from Facilities Technician IV s to Facilities Technician V s John Patterson effective 7/25/16, Swen Carlson effective 7/26/16, and Will Weitzel effective 7/27/16. D. Tenant Communication Lois O Neill, Property Specialist II in Airport Economic Development, introduced Jordan Ruiz, the new Owner/Operator of the RTIA McDonalds restaurant. She also shared that Mr. Ruiz manages nine other McDonalds in the northern California and Nevada region. Mr. Ruiz stated

5 Page 5 of 10 that everyone he has come in contact with at the Airport has been very hospitable. He said he is awestruck by the organization and the family-like atmosphere.

ITEMS FOR BOARD INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION A. Presentations 1. Federal Legislative Update

8 Page 8 of 10 Chair Murdock introduced Josh Hicks, a Partner with McDonald Carano Wilson (MCW) and the head of their Government Affairs Group. Mr. Hicks began by stating that he recently joined MCW in March of this year and that he is very happy to be representing the Airport Authority and the Board. He indicated that going forward he will be the point person for the RTAA. Mr. Hicks provided his background, stating that he is an attorney in Nevada, and has been practicing law for about 20 years, with half that time in the public sector and half in the private. He said he spent a good amount of time as Deputy Attorney General, most of that under then Attorney General Brian Sandoval. Following that, he was with Governor Jim Gibbons as General Counsel, and ultimately as Chief of Staff. Mr. Hicks stated that during that time he did a lot of work with the legislature and state agencies. He has been out in private practice for the last 8 years or so, representing a variety of different interests at the legislative and state agency levels. Mr. Hicks stated that MCW is looking forward to working with the RTAA Nevada Legislative Priorities Committee and as part of that, they have already been doing some prep work, anticipating what might be seen related to air service development. There is already a Senator who has prefiled a bill and MCW has had some discussions with him. He indicated that the Senator is willing to put in what the RTAA may need when it comes to that bill. Mr. Hicks reported that he and Tina Iftiger, VP of Airport Economic Development, toured the NUANCE Lab at Reno-Stead Airport with Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams, who offered to sponsor a resolution at the next legislative session, supporting the work that goes on at that lab and the Airport. Mr. Hicks will continue to work with Assemblywoman Bustamante Adams toward that support. Mr. Hicks expects there will be a lot more coming in the next few months related to solar energy issues and updates on that will be provided to the Board. It will be an exciting time next session for energy issues as there are lots of things happening. He said that MCW participates quite a bit with the Governor s New Energy Industry Task Force and the technologies that are forthcoming are really fascinating and will be a game changer for many people. Mr. Hicks stated that MCW also does a lot of work with the Tax Commission and the Tax Department and there has already been an indication of interest in doing something on personal property taxes for aircraft. Therefore, MCW will be watching that very closely as there will broad ranging impacts. Lastly, Mr. Hicks stated that he will be reporting monthly in the CEO Report and in person to the Board on a quarterly basis, as well as attending the Legislative Priorities Committee meeting in October. He is looking forward to fine tuning the legislative agenda and getting that going. There will be continuing work with the Legislators and carrying a message to them as we get ready to go into the session which starts in February Trustee Carasali inquired who the Senator was who prefiled the air service bill. Mr. Hicks responded Senator Pete Goicoechea. Trustee Sferrazza stated she is glad to have Mr. Hicks representing the Airport. She asked if the candidate numbers provided in the memo from MCW are the most recent. Mr. Hicks

9 Page 9 of 10 responded that those are May numbers and that the June numbers just came out. He indicated that an updated matrix will be sent out to the Board. Trustee Gianoli thanked Mr. Hicks for his presentation and said she looks forward to working with him as the Chair of the Legislative Priorities Committee. B.

President/CEO s Report Ms. Mora referred the Trustees to the written President/CEO Report included in their Board binders and offered to answer any questions they may have had. Ms. Mora indicated that next month Jon Porter will attend the Board meeting in person to provide a full federal legislative briefing. Ms. Mora shared that the House and Senate did pass an Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) extension through September 30, There was a slight disappointment that the U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) amendment did not make it in, but there is another bill that s had support from both of Nevada s Senators and Congressman Mark Amodei. That is the Cross-Border Trade Enhancement Act which includes language that would allow airports to reimburse the CBP for the cost of up to five full-time equivalent officers under a public-private-partnership known as the 559 program. There is hope that this gets done early and separately from the FAA reauthorization. Ms. Mora stated that one of the other disappointments is that in the FAA reauthorization, there was an attempt to bring the small community air service development program up from 1997 to current day standards using a metric of the definition of the small hub airport, but that did not get fixed in the extension. Trustee Carasali asked Ms. Mora to inform the Board as to the number of dollars that the RSCVA has incorporated into their FY budget for air service. Ms. Mora responded that the RSCVA is putting $1M into an air service fund, with plans to grow that to $1.5M. This is tremendous progress stemming from the additional room tax funds and is an outcome of the

10 Page 10 of 10 recent RSCVA Board retreat. She said this is truly a partnership like we never had in the past with the RSCVA, and it will only get better going forward into the future. Ms. Mora emphasized that to have the funds allocated to support air service is very significant. Chair Murdock commented that there is work being done with the RSCVA Board to add another dollar to the room tax and for it to flow towards air service. Trustee Sferrazza pointed out that securing the flights is important, but marketing the new flights in the region is critical. She asked if some of the dollars are being set aside for marketing in the destination cities to promote return flights to the Reno area. Ms. Mora responded affirmatively and pointed to a presentation Jennifer Cunningham, RSCVA President, will be giving at the August Board meeting to review their marketing plan. In addition, Ms. Mora indicated that as part of the partnership, there is a framework between the Airport and the RSCVA in terms of determining what flights get supported through the marketing efforts. Trustee Sferrazza reiterated the need to sustain the flights long term. Chair Murdock commented that not only is there the partnership between the Airport and the RSCVA, but also with RASC, which provides another funding mechanism separate from the room tax. Trustee Wirth agreed, saying that we ve proven ourselves to be efficient and effective in bringing on new flights, but sustaining them is the key. He said there are now well intentioned, multiple organizations working toward that goal and he sees us moving into a new era. Trustee Carasali commended Trustee Sferrazza for her efforts in revamping the Community Outreach Committee (COC), which is another important part of air service development, particularly in educating the community. D. General Board Comments, Questions, and Items for Future Board Meetings Chair Murdock asked if the Trustees had any comments, questions, or items for future Board meetings. Trustee Sferrazza requested that an update be provided on the local community outreach campaign. Chair Murdock indicated that will be added to the August agenda. Chair Murdock mentioned that it is time for the FY 2016/2017 committee assignments and that information would be sent out to the Trustees, with responses requested by July 22nd. There were no further questions or comments. XII. XIII. PUBLIC COMMENT None. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:17 am.
