Analysis in Brief
Issues
Business Trends for BWI: BWI’s revenue and expenditure trends, passenger and cargo volumes, andthe effect of consolidation of the airline industryare discussed. The Department of Legislative Services(DLS) recommends that the Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) brief the committees onfuture trends for growth at BWI.
The Consolidated Transportation Program Provides over $251 Million for BWI Expansion Projectsduring Fiscal 2002: The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced plans for a$1.3 billion capital expansion of BWI. The projects, costs, and financing risks are examined. DLSrecommends that MAA discuss its ability to sustain the level of debt introduced by the expansionprogram. DLS also recommends budget bill language requiring MAA to co-locate with MDOTheadquarters staff when the expansion program requires the existing Harry R. HughesTransportation Building to be demolished.
MAA Administrative Reorganization: MAA reorganized in August 2000 and created additional offices,divisions, and supervisory positions. MAA is also moving toward devolving budgetary control from acentralbudgeting systemwith two programs to 15 divisions. To aid legislative oversight and to providegreater clarification and accountability, DLS recommends that MAA work with the Departmentof Budget and Management to identify and create appropriate subprograms in preparation for thefiscal 2003 budget.

Regional Aviation Airplane Was Not Sold After All: MAA requested funds for replacement of a30-year-old aircraft in fiscal 2001 and indicated that it would sell the old aircraft as it was becoming toocostly to maintain. MAA did not sell the aircraft, however, and the fiscal 2002 allowance includes$35,094 for maintenance of the old aircraft. DLS recommends that the fiscal 2002 allowance bereduced by $35,094 and that the committees adopt budget bill language instructing theadministration to sell the old aircraft in fiscal 2002.

Budget Analysis
Program Description
The Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) has responsibility for fostering, developing, andregulating aviation activity throughout the State and for operating, maintaining, and developing the State-owned Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) and Martin State Airport (MTN).
Governor’s Proposed Operating Budget
The fiscal2002 allowance increases by$10.4 million, or 13.6%. Exhibit 1 provides the major changesin the budget.
Personnel Changes
The operating allowance includes 56 new positions for a fiscal 2002 impact of $1.8 million. Theallowance includes six contractual conversions which are budgeted at a 5% turnover rate. Many of thenew positions provide for either 0% turnover or 50% turnover. When the cost of these new positions isannualized, the fiscal 2003 impact of the new positions will be approximately $2.4 million. This does notinclude increments or cost-of-living adjustments. A list of new positions and contractual conversions isincluded as Appendix 5.
Fire Rescue Service Improvements
In August 2000 MAA received a consultant study of the fire rescue department at BWI. The studynoted deficiencies in ambulance response times, training, and staffing levels. Several of the consultants'43 recommendations are included in the fiscal 2002 allowance.
The fiscal 2002 operating allowance provides funds for 20 firefighter positions, three supervisorypositions, two contractual conversions of administrative positions, and one mechanic dedicated to the firerescue service. Specifically the allowance includes:
! eight new fire fighter positions to increase the staffing from one person to two persons on two aircraftrescue and firefighting (ARFF) crash vehicles;
! eight new firefighter positions to increase the staffing from two persons to four persons on the heavy-duty rescue vehicles; and
! four new firefighter positions to establish a 1.25 staffing ratio to allow for sick leave, vacations, andholidays, and to reduce overtime expenses.

The study noted that one of the primary responsibilities for BWI’s firefighters is emergency medicalresponse and as a result the new firefighter positions will be cross-trained as paramedics. In calendar 2000the BWI fire rescue squads responded to a total of 2,467 calls, of which 1,969 requested assistance at theBWI terminal building.
A second paramedic crew was added in fiscal 2001 and MAA indicates that an additional ambulancewill be purchased in fiscal 2002. In addition, the capital program also includes $580,000 for the purchaseof a new aerial platformladder truck. The fiscal2002 allowance also includes $300,000 for planning costsassociated with constructing a fire station near the existing terminal.
Performance Analysis: Managing for Results
MAA has significantly revised its Managing for Results (MFR) submission since the 2000 legislativesession. Specifically, the administration has added three new goals: to operate State-owned airports assuccessful business enterprises; to integrate safety enhancements and security into Maryland’s aviationsystem; and to develop an organization that attracts and retains a highly motivated workforce. Severalnew objectives and performance measures have also been developed in support of each of MAA’s statedgoals. It is evident that considerable work has been done to make the document a reflection of the valuesand activities MAA pursues each day. Exhibit 2 provides MFR data for MAA.

MAA maintains that, given the nature of the aviation industry, it is unable to have control over specificaspects of airport operations. For instance, the majority of BWI’s 10,000 employees are not MAAemployees and as a result it would be difficult for MAA to have a customer service goal. MAA does haveconsiderable control, however, over other factors such as the safety of airport tenants and patrons. Asa result, MAA includes a safety and security goal in its MFR. In addition, many of MAA’s goals arereflected in construction projects or ongoing programs included in MAA’s capital program, such asincreasing the level of cargo activity or reducing the number of incompatible housing units.
Strategic Plan and Its Relationship to the MAA’s MFR
The 2000 Joint Chairmen’s Report requested that MAA develop and submit a strategic plan. Thecommittees were concerned that an organization with approximately 450 employees and annualappropriations of over $100 million did not have a document that guided its internal and externaldecisions.
MAA submitted its strategic plan in October 2000. The Department of Legislative Services (DLS)has the following concerns:
! Strategic Plan Is Reactive Rather Than Proactive: During the 2000 legislative session, MAAindicated that its strategic plan would be based on the results of a capacity study available in thesummer of 2000. However, MAA later indicated that this study wouldn’t be completed until thespring of 2001, leaving it unclear what data the administration used to develop its plan. In addition,two months prior to submitting the strategic plan to the budget committees, the Maryland Departmentof Transportation (MDOT) announced over $1.3 billion in new spending for capital infrastructure atBWI. It is difficult to understand the impetus for that announcement without the guidance that astrategic planning document would provide during the development of the capital program.
JI.00 - MDOT - Maryland Aviation Administration
11
! Strategic Plan Is Poorly Organized: The plan identifies many ideas as to the various goals, issues,and strategies that affect MAA. However, that there is too much information provided in thedocument and it is not well organized. The strategic plan does not clearly identify the businessopportunities MAA intends to pursue, what types or levels of cargo and passenger air service itintends to develop, or the steps it will take to pursue each of its goals.
! Linkages between Strategic Plan and MFR Document Are Unclear: It is difficult to pair the goalsand objectives outlined in the administration’s MFR submission with those in the strategic plan. Thegoals included in the strategic plan are never clearly identified and when a list of goals is provided, itis provided at the back of the document rather than in the beginning. The MFR should complementan organization’s strategic planning process.
In short, the strategic plan submitted by MAA is a good start toward developing the basic goals andvalues that should guide the organization. MAA should continue to work toward narrowing the focusof the strategic plan, including its goals, to those areas that MAA has the most influence, support thebeliefs that those activities are the most appropriate with data, and work to bring additional clarificationto the document.
DLS recommends that MAA discuss its plans to develop additional goals and continue to collectdata to support its MFR submission. In addition, MAA should discuss its plans to continuedevelopment of its strategic plan to make it a better reflection of the administration’s values andfuture plans. Most importantly, MAA should discuss how its BWI expansion plan was developedand justified absent a strategic plan.

MAA PAYGO Capital Program
Program Description
The MAA capital program provides for the development and maintenance of facilities at BWI andMTN. The administration undertakes projects that meet the demands of commercial and general aviationfor both passenger and cargo activities at BWI. At MTN, facilities improvements and rehabilitationactivities such as runway and taxiway improvements, building and system renovations, and variousmaintenance projects are implemented. The administrationuses passenger facilitycharges(PFCs) assessedon enplaning passengers per flight segment to fund certain projects at BWI. Bonds backed by the PFCswere sold by the MdTA, and PFC revenue flows to the authority to pay debt service.
MAA Consolidated Transportation Program Changes
The fiscal 2001 through 2006 Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) provides an increase of$765 million over the six-year program period. The majority of this increase relates to projects plannedfor the expansion of BWI. Specific highlights of the 2001 CTP include:
! BWI Expansion Program: The 2001 CTP includes $859 million for the BWI expansion project,announced in August 2000. Specific details of the projects included in the expansion program as wellas the financing mechanisms for each of the projects are included in the sections that follow.
! Four New Projects Added to the CTP: Another increase in the 2001 CTP requires $30 million forthe purchase of 90 shuttle buses for use at BWI facilities including the consolidated rental car facility(opening in May 2003), public and tenant parking lots, and the BWI Rail Station. Other new projectsinclude: $14.5 million for the installation of 27 bi-directional moving sidewalks throughout the BWIterminal building; $2.8 million for a remote aircraft parking pad; and planning funds totaling $300,000for an additional fire station at BWI.
! Total Funding of $4.4 Million for Improvements at MTN: Funds for improvements to the runwayat MTN increase by $3.6 million over the fiscal 2001 working appropriation. This includes $2.3million in federal funds from the U.S. Department of Defense through the Maryland Air NationalGuard for a runway lengthening project.
! Change in Scope: The scope of one project changed during fiscal 2001. The second phase ofdevelopment of the Midfield Cargo Complex was advanced from fiscal 2002 to 2001. MAA pavescargo support areas for additional vehicle parking while permanent vehicle parking facilities aredesigned and constructed. When the space is no longer necessary for vehicle parking, MAA indicatesthat it will continue to build out the Midfield Cargo Complex.

Large Portion of 2001 CTP Supported by Non-TTF Revenues
The portion of projects included in the 2001 CTP funded by other, non-Transportation Trust Fund(TTF) types of funding, has grown from $9.3 million in the fiscal 2001 legislative appropriation to$176.1 million in the fiscal 2002 allowance. The fiscal 2002 allowance also includes a wider variety offund sources. Exhibit 3 outlines the increased usage of non-TTF types of financing.
In fiscal 2001 only two types of funds, other than TTF proceeds, were used to finance transportationprojects. Fiscal 2001 includes $7 million in certificates of participation (COPs) for the construction ofConcourse B and $564,000 in federal funds from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for runwayimprovements at MTN. Primarily, MAA has used PFCs to back revenue bonds sold by the MdTA forlarger projects. The $176.1 million in fiscal 2002 is by far the largest in recent history. The majority ofthe other funds, $167.8 million, supports projects included in the BWI expansion program. Theremainder, $8 million, includes funds for improvements at MTN, as well as other projects not includedin the BWI expansion.

Issues
1. Business Trends for BWI
BWI provides facilities for air transportation and air cargo to the State of Maryland. In 1999, basedon the pace of growth and development, BWI ranked as the fastest growing airport in the nation.
Revenues and Expenditures
MAA generates revenues through charges on airport users, rental agreements for facilities, andconcessions at the airport. All operating revenues are deposited in the TTF. Revenues have been steadilygrowing at BWI in part due to the increase in passenger volume using airport facilities. Exhibit 5 presentsMAA's forecast for operating revenues and expenditures at BWI.
A portion of the revenues collected by MAA is governed by the Basic Use and Lease Agreements(BULA) between MAA and eight signatory airlines relating to leased space and other directly relatedactivities. MAA is currently renegotiating the existing BULA which expires February 2003. MAAexpects to complete BULA II negotiations by September 2002. The negotiations will develop a newagreement for the financial structure of the rates charged to the airlines and will most likely affect the levelof flight activity fees, rent and user charges, and concession fees that MAA collects from the airlines.
MAA generally is able to recover all operating expenditures through its revenues. However, whencapital expenditures are included, BWI's ability to be self-sustaining is limited. As seen in Exhibit 3, theagency relies heavily on the TTF for capital investments. The federal funds that MAA receives for useat BWI can only be used on capital enhancements to the airport. Beginning in late fiscal 2001, MAAexpects to begin collecting or devoting existing revenues to repayment of bonds issued by the MdTA forexpansion of BWI facilities. As a result, revenues such as PFCs, Customer Facility Charges (CFCs) andparking garage revenue will not be received by MAA but will cover the debt service of MdTA-issuedrevenue bonds. The expansion program and financing information are discussed in greater detail inIssue 2.

Air Passenger Traffic Trends
BWI has seen significant increases in the volume of passenger traffic, in part due to the arrival of low-fare airlines. Between calendar 1990 and 2000, passenger use of BWI has grown at an average annualrate of 7.2%. MAA’s forecast shows total passenger traffic continuing to grow at an average annual rateof 3.4%, to an estimated 24.1 million total passengers in 2005. Exhibit 6 details MAA’s passengerforecast from calendar 1999 through 2005.
For the period 1999 through 2005, MAA predicts a gradual decline in the growth of passenger traffic.MAA advises that the growth in passenger traffic will remain positive, but will grow slower than previousyears due to the lack of unassigned gates. Until additional gates are constructed, airlines begin flyingwider bodied aircraft out of BWI, or airlines increase the number of flights per day using a gate, MAAexpects growth in passenger traffic to slow. DLS also suggests that growth in passenger traffic could beimpacted by the slowing of the economy, in which discretionary travel such as vacations would decrease.

Air Cargo Volume
Exhibit 7 shows that BWI’s market share of air freight over the past ten years has declined afterpeaking in calendar 1991. Growth in BWI’s market share of air freight since 1995 has not reached pasthighs but is gradually recovering from early 1990s losses. BWI competes directly with Dulles in air cargoand since Dulles is a major hub airport, it is difficult to predict BWI’s ability to continue to attract anincreasing share of the local air freight market.
MAA’s cargo forecast anticipates considerable growth, 8.5% per year in freight shipments in theperiod 2000 through 2005. It is not clear how likely this growth is, considering the overall share of themarket held by Dulles International Airport.
The fiscal 2002 allowance includes $311,000 and one air cargo development administrator, to marketthe midfield cargo complex. In addition, the capital allowance includes $775,000 for engineering andconstruction of phase 2 of the midfield cargo complex.
MAA should discuss the actions it intends to take to increase the volume of air cargo at BWIin light of BWI’s proximity to Dulles and the opening of the first phase of the midfield cargocomplex.

Effect of Airline Industry Consolidation at BWI
During calendar 2000, several U.S. air carriers announced plans to merge or acquire other U.S.airlines. In particular, United Airlines (UA) announced its intention to acquire US Air, and AmericanAirlines parent company, AMR Corp, announced a buy out of TransWorld Airlines (TWA). The effectof these mergers could be significant to the State as each of the reported deals involves at least one airlinethat is currently providing air service at BWI. In addition UA, when it announced that it would be takingover US Airways, indicated that approximately 30 flights per day at BWI would be eliminated as a resultof the merger. Exhibit 8 lists the top ten air carriers at BWI by passenger volume for 2000.

The MAA provided specific information as to the loss of significant air service to BWI as part of theU.S. Department of Justice's antitrust investigation of the proposed acquisition of US Airways by UA.Due to the confidentiality requirements of the Justice Department's investigation, some specific detailscannot yet be released. However, the State has publicly stated that loss of air service and competitivechoice will have a negative impact on customers using BWI. Therefore, Maryland is opposing thisparticular acquisition. It is not anticipated that the proposed acquisition of TWA by American Airlineswill have a significant impact on BWI. As the chart above indicates, a combined TWA and AmericanAirlines would still represent a relatively small market share at BWI.
DLS recommends that MAA, to the extent that it is able, discuss the effect of consolidation inthe airline industry on air service and future growth at BWI.

2. The Consolidated Transportation Program Provides over $251 Million for BWIExpansion Projects during Fiscal 2002
In August 2000 MDOT announced plans for a $1.3 billion capital expansion program at BWI. Theplans call for increased spending in the short termfor additionalparking, terminal expansion, and improvedaccess to the terminal building. Exhibit 9 illustrates funding provided in fiscal 2001 and 2002. Duringfiscal 2002, $251 million will support the expansion efforts.
MDOT indicates that capital improvements are necessary at this time due to the increase in passengertraffic which has created an increased demand for airport services and facilities. While MDOT predictsthat the growth in passenger traffic will slow to approximately 4% each year, existing facilities, in somecases, are at capacity and require immediate attention.
Parking improvements account for 26% of the program, or approximately$379 million. Constructionof these facilities is scheduled to begin as early as February 2001 as the need for these facilities is mostcritical at this time. BWI also expects to expand the size of the current terminal building with $438 millionfor two new concourses and other related facilities. The largest share of the expansion program, 42%,or approximately$621 million, will improve passenger access to the terminal building, including improvedroads, pedestrian bridges between the terminal and the parking garage, and moving walkways.
One of the parking projects, Elm Road Surface Lot and Parking Garage, requires that the currentMDOT headquarters building located just north of the BWI terminal building be razed. MDOT estimatesthat MDOT staff will be relocated by June 2002. Phase 1 of the project will construct an area to thesoutheast of the building and phase 2 will require demolition. MDOT has not specified where it willrelocate and is evaluating leasing or constructing a new facility. MDOT has indicated that the new facilitywill be located in close proximity to the existing building.
DLS recommends the adoption of budget bill language requiring that when MDOT relocatesit should select a location that would also provide space for MAA staff. Currently MAA staff arelocated in at least three separate facilities incurring lease and other costs. In addition, the newbuilding should be located near mass transit facilities such as the Cromwell Light Rail stop, BWIrail station or bus stations.
, provided that it is the intent of the General Assembly that the Maryland Aviation Administration beco-located with the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) when headquarters operationsare relocated due to construction at the Baltimore/Washington International Airport. In addition,MDOT should select a site that provides easy access to mass transit facilities such as light rail, heavyrail, or bus.

Financing for BWI Expansion projects
MAA has identified several financing options for the $1.5 billion capital expansion program currentlyunderway at BWI. Approximately $488 million of the funds for the expansion program will come fromMdTA bonds backed by various revenue sources. The Transportation Trust Fund will provide $135million. Proceeds from certificates of participation (COPs), federal Airport Improvement Program funds,and available PFC funds total $58 million. Financing for the remaining projects, $185 million for theexpansion/widening of the main terminal building and constructing Concourse F and $400 million for thepeople mover system, has yet to be determined. Appendix 7 provides more detailed information on thetype of financing MAA expects to employ.
JI.00 - MDOT - Maryland Aviation Administration
22
Revenue Bonds Finance Majority of BWI Expansion
MAA intends to finance 8 of the 12 expansion projects with MdTA revenue bonds. The bondsproviding funds for the parking facilities, issued by the MdTA, will be leveraged with current and futureparking fees. MAA also expects to use bonds issued by the Maryland Economic DevelopmentCorporation totaling $172 million; $8 million of COPs proceeds; and FAA discretionary federal fundstotaling approximately $38 million, for construction of Concourse A, taxiway, and ramp. Lease paymentsfor the facility will be paid to MEDCO from MAA’s operating budget. Bonds for the consolidated rentalcar facility, also issued by the MdTA, would be financed with a $3.00 customer facility charge assessedfor each car rented per day.
House Bill 529 proposes to add a county rental car tax to all cars rented at BWI. The exact level ofthe tax is not known. However, proposals range from $1 to $2. If HB 529 is enacted, the county carrental tax added to the Consolidated Rental Car Facility fee of $3.00, the State’s existing rental car salestax of 11.5%, and the BWI concession fee would significantly increase the tax burden for car renters usingthe airport.
In the spring of 2000, the U.S. Congress authorized the FAA to increase the PFC from $3.00 to $4.50.This charge is assessed per enplaning passenger per flight segment. MAA advises that it intends to applyto the FAA for a PFC increase and will dedicate the additional funds to finance bonds for airfield andterminal access improvements. MAA expects to have the authority to begin collecting the full $4.50 PFCin January 2002. MAA began collecting PFCs in 1994 for several projects at BWI, and once those bondsare repaid, which is anticipated in September 2002, the full $4.50 PFC will be dedicated to repaying bondssold for airfield and terminal access improvements. Between January 2002 and October 2002, MAAintends to use the $1.50 difference in the PFC collected and the amount pledged to the 1994 bond serieson a cash basis for approved PFC-eligible projects.
The development plan is meant to address immediate needs at BWI over the next six years. MAAbases its assumptions about the level of funding that can be handled by the department on the belief thatthe program is manageable given the current state of the economy and other financial factors. Several ofthese projects assume that passenger traffic at BWI will continue to grow at the same rate (6.7%) that ithas grown since calendar 1999.
Questions remain, however, regarding MAA’s ability to fund the total cost of these projects. Futurerevenues such as parking garage fees and customer facility charges at the new car rental facility arepledged to repaying the capital costs of construction. If the economy slows or another external eventdecreases the volume of leisure travel or cars rented, MAA believes it has sufficient contingencies in placeto cover the debt service for these projects. With one or two projects financed in this manner, the risk ismanageable. With the volume of debt to be issued over the course of a short period of time, any changesin MAA’s assumptions about the level of repayment that can be handled in the future could have asignificant effect on MAA and MDOT’s ability to meet its other financial and programmatic obligations.
JI.00 - MDOT - Maryland Aviation Administration
23
The heavy reliance on the use of revenue bonds, with the inherent risks, as well as possible industryconsolidation or other factors such as a slowing economy, should be examined as planning andconstruction moves forward. In addition, with so much uncertainty regarding the effect of the mergerson future levels of passenger traffic at BWI, caution should be taken with regard to issuing debt to bebacked by significant levels of future revenues. Further, financing details for over 40% of the totalproject has yet to be determined.
DLS recommends that MAA brief the committees on its ability to meet the financial obligationsset forth in MAA’s current capital program and the advisability of undertaking the proposed levelof debt.
3. MAA Administrative Reorganization
In August MDOT approved a reorganization plan for MAA aligning the activities of the administrationunder the Executive Director and two DeputyExecutive Directors: Airport Operations, and Developmentand Administration. The reorganization created 12 offices and at least 31 divisions within those officesand created several new positions including a Chief of Staff, an Assistant Deputy Executive Director forAirport Operations, and several Deputy Associate Administrator positions. While MAA noted that thereorganization was position-neutral, meaning that no new positions were necessary to carry out the neworganization, it should be noted that the fiscal 2002 allowance includes 60 new positions. MAA advisesthat these positions are primarily necessary due to growth at BWI and long-term deficiencies in staffingthe airport. MAA reallocated and reassigned existing positions within the administration to providemanagerial support and supervisory oversight of each of the newly created divisions subunits.
At the same time, MAA is moving toward devolving control from a central budgeting system with 2programs to 15 divisions. While the Office of Finance and Administration will retain oversight, the changewill require supervisors to be accountable for budgetary changes within their office or division. Giventhese changes, the increase in financial resources requested in the fiscal 2002 allowance, and the generalsize of the MAA, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand the year to year variations andfunctional changes in MAA’s budget. This limits the ability to evaluate whether the administration isutilizing its resources effectively in a manner consistent with its MFR statement. To aid legislativeoversight and to provide greater clarification and accountability, DLS recommends that MAAwork with the Department of Budget and Management to identify and create appropriatesubprograms in preparation for the fiscal 2003 budget.
4. Regional Aviation Airplane Was Not Sold After All
The 2000 CTP included $350,000 in the minor projects program for the purchase of a replacementaircraft in fiscal 2001 for MAA’s Office of Regional Aviation. The existing aircraft, a 1968 PiperCherokee 235, was becoming too costly to continue to maintain. MAA advised in the fall of 1999 thatthey intended to sell the old aircraft, valued at approximately $70,000, once theyacquired the new aircraft.In April 2000 MAA acquired a new, six-seat, Cessna 206 aircraft.
JI.00 - MDOT - Maryland Aviation Administration
24
The Governor’s fiscal 2002 budget allowance, however, does not include the revenue from the saleof the Piper Cherokee 235. Instead, the allowance includes $7,594 for insurance, gas, and oil, as well as$27,500 for an engine overhaul for the old aircraft. In addition, the old aircraft is stored in a hanger atMTN, which is owned by MAA, and therefore incurs no hanger rental charges. Hanger space is in highdemand at MTN and MAA should advise the committees as to why they feel it is justified to forgo rentcharges in favoring of retaining an old, repair-ridden aircraft.
DLS recommends that the fiscal 2002 allowance be reduced by $35,094 and adoption of thefollowing budget bill language instructing the administration to sell the old aircraft in fiscal 2002.
, provided that the Maryland Aviation Administration shall sell the 1968 Piper Cherokee 235 aircraftand reflect the revenues of this sale in the fiscal 2003 budget submission.

Explanation: This language requires MDOT to select a location that would also provide spacefor the Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) staff when MDOT relocates. Currently MAAstaff are located in at least three separate facilities incurring lease and other costs. In addition,the new building should be located near mass transit facilities such as the Cromwell Light Railstop, the Baltimore/Washington International Airport rail station, or bus stations.

The fiscal 2002 allowance indicates that the aircraft hasnot been sold and that MAA intends to retain the aircraft at a cost of $35,094. Insofar as this iscontrary to MAA’s original indications, the fiscal 2002 allowance should be reduced and MAAshould be advised to sell the aircraft.

Updates
1. Regional Air Service Development Program Status
Chapter 325, Acts of 2000 created the regional air service development pilot program within MAA.The administration is authorized to grant to any person the privilege of operating scheduled regional airservice to and from any community in the State that is determined by the MAA to be in need of, andcapable of, supporting such air service. If the MAA determines that financial assistance is warranted, itmay grant or loan funds to the person operating the air service. Grants associated with this service mustbe approved by the Board of Public Works (BPW). MAA is required to submit to the General Assemblya report on the initial results of the program by December 1, 2001. Additionally, the MAA is required tosubmit a report to the Governor and the General Assembly by December 1, 2002, that: (1) evaluates theeffectiveness of and the need for the Regional Air Service Development Program; (2) discusses thefeasibility of continuing regional service without a State subsidy; and (3) makes recommendationsregarding the continued financial support of the program.
MAA developed a Request for Proposal(RFP) after meeting with interested communities to determinetheir needs for regional air service. Through this process, MAA identified two regional airports at whichservice is desired: Greater Cumberland RegionalAirport and HagerstownRegionalAirport. Airlines wereto bid on providing scheduled air service three times per day between these airports and BWI. The RFPwas released on January 19, 2001, and responses were due by February 23, 2001. The RFP requires thata contract be executed by June 15, 2001, and that air service commence by December 31, 2001. If noviable proposals are generated by this process, MAA will re-evaluate, possibly change the scope of theprogram or the air service, and then rebid. Eight interested parties attended a pre-proposal meeting inJanuary 2001.
Due to FAA regulations, the fiscal 2001 and 2002 funds are budgeted in the BPW. No funds areprovided for the program in the MAA fiscal 2002 allowance.

Major Changes in Current and Prior Year Appropriations
In fiscal 2000 the special fund appropriation increased by $6.4 million. Approximately $4.1 millionof this increase is attributable to the need for additional security, consultants, and janitorial services.Extreme weather events added $1.5 million. Personnel changes including deferred compensation costs,the new 16-step salary scale, and pay for performance added $1,027,800 to the fiscal 2001 legislativeappropriation.
In fiscal 2001 the special fund appropriation increased by $4.5 million to provide funds for increasedoperations at BWI. In particular, the increase provided funds for four paramedic positions approved bythe BPW ($87,269), additional safety and security measures ($1,183,153), airport development andcustomer service ($2,051,900) and fixed-base operation (FBO) fuel costs ($800,000) at Martin StateAirport. MAA justified the need for the additional funds primarily due to increased passenger trafficthrough BWI and unexpected federal mandates.
