Agenda

Agenda Item #5 is interesting. The Comptroller, who voted against the Airport Privatization Consultant Contract with ties to Rex Sinquefield, is now asking for an amendment to the contract.

In other Lambert Airport news, Lambert is getting $10.2 Million from the FAA to repair runway 12L/30R & lighting system for the runway. It’s one of 450 grants in 49 states. The matching funds required from City are $3.4 Million. According to 20th Ward Alderwoman Cara Spencer, if the airport was privately run, the City’s match increase by 20%, another $750,000.
