Indianapolis Airport Authority elects officers, approves three procurement items totaling about $1.4 million
The Indianapolis Airport Authority elected Barbara Glass president, Steve Dillinger vice president and Maiman (Mayman/Damon) Powers secretary and approved the appointment of Robert Thompson as treasurer, then unanimously approved three procurement actions for parking and airfield work totaling roughly $1.4 million.

Brian Tuohy, addressing the board as the meeting’s election presenter, said the authority’s bylaws and the Indiana Code require the board to elect officers at its first meeting of the year. "Since we only have one candidate for each office, perhaps the most efficient way to conduct this election is to ask for a motion and a second to elect Barbara Glass as president, Steve Dillinger as vice president, and Maiman Powers as secretary, and then have a roll call vote on the election of those three candidates," Tuohy said.

The board approved that slate by roll call. A subsequent motion to appoint Robert Thompson as treasurer for 2025 also passed on a roll call vote.

The board then considered and approved three procurement items. Keith Verlaine introduced BP 2025-01-1, a service agreement to maintain the airport’s parking access revenue control system in 2025 and 2026, in amounts not to exceed $261,717 for 2025 and $301,037 for 2026, with supplier diversity participation listed as WBE 100% with Evans Time. "The PARCS is our parking access revenue control system," Verlaine said, describing the system the vendor will maintain. The motion to approve BP 2025-01-1 was moved by Ryan Goodwin and seconded by Steve Dillinger and passed on a roll call vote.

Next the board approved BP 2025-01-2, Amendment No. 1 to the rehabilitation of the economy parking lot pavement, authorizing fees and expenses not to exceed $321,230. The presenter said the scope of work was adjusted because airport operations have returned to pre-pandemic levels, requiring longer working days and phasing to reduce disruption to customers. Jeff Gaither moved the motion; Eric Dozier seconded it. The amendment passed on a roll call vote.

The final procurement item, BP 2025-01-3, authorized purchase of electrical equipment for a runway rehabilitation project in an amount not to exceed $817,850.23. The staff explained purchasing the equipment separately would secure best pricing and ensure the equipment arrives in time for installation during the pavement rehabilitation. Ryan Goodwin moved the motion; Kurt (Rich) Slater seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote.

Staff reports were brief. Mario Rodriguez submitted a written report and asked the board to join him in congratulating Matt Smith, the airport’s IT specialist, for being named to a national "Top 40 Under 40" aviation list. The meeting adjourned after about 11 minutes.
