SUMMARY:

                                          

The Airport entered into an Airport Terminal Complex Advertising Concession Agreement with Departure Media, Inc. on December 14, 2012.  For the period of January 2018, terminal advertising fees remain unpaid.  Multiple attempts to collect the outstanding balance were made.  The Airport is now requesting permission to write-off the customer’s balance.  The City’s Financial Planning and Administration policy provides that all non-utility accounts receivable in amounts in excess of $1,000, and in which a lien has not been filed, be submitted to City Council for approval before being written off.
