Employee, Tenant and Special Recognitions Mike Scott, Vice President of Operations & Public Safety, briefly described the components of the 2015 Part 139 Inspection that was recently conducted on August 3 – 6, 2015. He announced that the Airport passed the annual inspection with flying colors, and retained its Part 139 Certification, which allows it to continue to operate as a commercial air carrier airport. Mr. Scott recognized the key departments involved in the inspection, specifically the Airport Rescue and Firefighting team, Airfield Maintenance team and Airfield Operations team. Mr. Scott ended by thanking Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) staff from all departments, as in some way, all staff contribute to the mission of the Airport and play a role in supporting the Part 139 certification for this airfield. B. Introduction of New, Promoted and Retired Employees Dean Schultz, Executive Vice President/COO, introduced the new RTAA K9 team – canine Bruno and his handler Officer Shannon Edison. Next, Mr. Schultz introduced three new employees who recently joined the RTAA – Joshua Stagliano, Airport Police Officer, Vinnie Vasquez, Airfield Maintenance Worker, and Ana Chacon, Airport Communications Specialist. Meeting of the Board of Trustees September 10, 2015 Brief of Minutes Page 2 of 7 Lastly, Mr. Schultz congratulated Rebecca Venis on her promotion to Manager of Air Service Development and Marketing. At this point, Chair Wirth acknowledged City of Reno Councilwoman Naomi Duerr, as being present in the audience. C. Tenant Communication Tina Iftiger, Vice President of Airport Economic Development, introduced Knute Knudson, Vice President of Business Development for International Game Technology (IGT). Mr. Knudson who is locally based in Reno, is the senior executive that the Airport works with at IGT. Ms. Iftiger mentioned that Mr. Knudson is a former member of the Community Outreach Committee (COC), and therefore very familiar with the Airport. Mr. Knudson provided a brief overview of the “new” IGT, referencing their recent merger with GTECH, the largest global lottery business. The merger results in the formation of a worldwide organization with 13,000 employees. He stated that IGT is a topline revenue company of approximately $6.3B annually and is now organized into four (4) divisions – North America Division, International Division, Lottery Division North America, and Italy Division. IGT is headquartered in London, England with major offices in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada, Providence, RI, and Rome, Italy. Mr. Knudson said the operation in Reno is growing and improving with significant investments being made. Some of IGT’s manufacturing operations are being relocated here, and there will be substantial improvements made in terms of the numbers of people and functions occurring in Reno. Trustee Carasali asked how many new jobs will be created over the next five (5) years. Mr. Knudson responded that there is capacity within IGT’s production capability here in Reno, and therefore much of the work will be absorbed within the existing production capability. He further stated that the specific number of new jobs will evolve over time. IV. PUBLIC COMMENT (limited to 3 minutes) Naomi Duerr, City of Reno Councilwoman representing Ward 2, and an alternate liaison to the Airport Authority, asked to speak under the public comment section of the agenda. She indicated she is also the liaison to the Arts and Culture Commission and the Art Town Board for the City of Reno. In that capacity, Ms. Duerr had the opportunity to attend Burning Man. She commented on the kickoff at the Airport with the Burning Man art exhibit, and indicated she has been recruiting other art displays for the Airport.
