Prior Council Action: N/A For More Information: Ghizlane Badawi, Aviation, Chief Executive Officer, 512-530-8846 Rajeev Thomas, Aviation, Chief Financial Officer, 512-530-2463 Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: Airport Advisory Commission – June 12, 2024 Additional Backup Information: This budget amendment is to accommodate adjustments resulting from a greatly improved vacancy rate that outperformed expectations, wage and vacancy adjustments associated with contractual agreements, increased commodity purchases, and to reflect expenses associated with the implementation of the Aviation staffing market study. This amendment will increase appropriation to the Department of Aviation and will be funded from operating revenues within the Airport Operating Fund without impact to the General Fund. The Department of Aviation in collaboration with the City of Austin Human Resources Department, is in the final stage of the Aviation staffing market study. The market study compared the salary ranges for positions at the Department of Aviation with comparable airports in other markets. Changes to salary ranges resulting from conclusions of the market study will be implemented within FY2023-2024 and will have a financial impact on the operating expenses of the Department of Aviation. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Aviation’s vacancy rate surged to as high as 40% as a result of increased number of FTEs necessitated by greatly increased passenger traffic and by challenges recruiting and retaining staff. The Department has worked to address the hiring and retention issues and has far outpaced the forecasted improvement in vacancy rate included in the FY2023-2024 Budget. As of May 2024, the Department has a vacancy rate of 20% and forecasts this will continue to improve through the end of the fiscal year. This has driven a significant variance compared to the approved FY2023-2024 Budget due …
