1. DTPW - Airport $472,000
The Director of Transportation and Public Works and the Airport Director are requesting a $472,000 appropriation transfer to provide funding for GMIA airport staff to add a 5th security lane at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Checkpoint on Concourse C at General Mitchell International Airport.
General Mitchell Airport has experienced a significant increase in passenger traffic over the last two years. With the recent acquisition by Southwest of AirTran Airlines, Southwest Airlines intends to move from their current preferential gates on Concourse D to the Concourse C. This additional passenger traffic on Concourse C will require an additional checkpoint lane to reduce anticipated congestion and waiting times at the security checkpoint. TSA has concurred.
Subsequently Airport staff is requesting County Board approval to allow GMIA to award a construction contract to remodel the TSA checkpoint area on Concourse C to allow for a 5th checkpoint lane.
Funding for this $472,000 transfer request will be provided from the Airport Development Fund - Depreciation Account (ADF-D).
The purpose of the Appropriation Transfer Request is to add a 5th passenger security lane to the TSA checkpoint on Concourse C at General Mitchell International Airport. Approval of this transfer request will have no fiscal impact on the tax levy of Milwaukee County.
