    Alison Williams presented the debt policies for its annual review recommendingchanges to four of the policies ( i s . Global- eference to the CFO, Asset life, CapitalPlanning (Cash toTollRevenue Ratio Policy) and Costs and Fees). It was recommendedto change he existing cas4to toll revenue policy, substituting a requirement that theAuthority maintain $350million hl unrestricted cash in the following Authority accounts:Operating Reserve, M & O Reserve, Cash Capital Account and General Account. Member8requested future briefingsm polices of other authorltles an d updates (as needed) on the conceptof using a line of credit in lieu of a portion of the cash reserves.Aclion Item: Commitfse recommended that his item be brought before thefullAllthority on August 25"for approval,Draft FY 2010-l?Y 015 CTP

    DennisSimpson and Suhair Alkhatib presented the current version of theDraft10-15 TP. Itprovides for the completion of the 595 Section 100ETLproject inFY2016; completion of the ICC project in l?Y2012 (excluding co~~tsact); addition of 42new system preservation projects (compared to FY 09-14Flrial CTP), revision of 119projectsand reduction of six year reserves by $166million.Action Item: Committse reoonunanded that this ihn be brought before them1Authority on Augz~st9' for ivpprovul.

    David Chapin reviewed the financial affordabilityof the Draft 10-15CTP. Futuretoll increase requitements were sized for FY 12,14,16 and 18, Increases would besubstantial (e.g., 48% in FY 12 followed by 16%in FY 14;126% total above Levels priorto CRI.) However, no single toll increase would exceed 5090,and the order of magnitudeof the increases is similar those shown in the f m c o s t approvedby theAuthority in July2009.Various additional scenarios testing the impact of additional funding werereviewed.

    Mike Lewin inquired if it would be feasible to delay the FY 14 toll increase toFY16, so that theen would be only one toll increase in each four year period. The only wayto eliminate aFY 14 toll increase would be to accelerate it, combining i t with the FY 12toll increase. Otherwise Authority revenues would not mcot obligations.Finance Con ~m itee NotesAugust 13,2009Page 2 of 5

    Sam Triandos updated the committee on comments received from the committee.Since the Authority will begin toll service on the ICC and the BTL's in the near future asdemand-managedopen road tolling facilities, this requires establishment of newprocedures and policies regarding toll rates.

    Sambriefed the committee on the status of theRFP for the redevelopment of thetravel plazas. Staff puopo6ed that a change to the COMAR procurement language thataffects the Maryland and Chesapeakehouse travel plazas on 1-95, COMAR exemptsfrom the procurement law certain transportation facilities proving goods and senrics tothe public. Under the change, the procurement regulations would have applied to theAuthority's travel plazas, without ~lteringhe exiating exemptions for othertimsporlr*on facilities. Executive Directors and Principal Counsels of each madal werecontacted to assure that the change would no t have had an unintended effect on the otlmDOT nodals, Given concerns of two modals, the Authority will include language in theRF P to encourageMBE participation.

    Capital spending for the month of July totaled $70.4 million. TheAuthority'saggregate cash balanca~or capital expenditures fell by $62.9million in July. Bol~dproceeds should conservatively support capital expenditures through November(December if spending holds below 80% of projections). For the next eleven months,averagemonthly capital spending isprojected at $90.7 million.Rate Covenants,

    The $72.187 million cushion indicates that eligible toll revenues can decline bythis mount and the Authority would still produce 1.0 imes coverage. Due to the costrecovery initiative, July 2009 oll revenues have increased 14.8%compared to July 2008.Fiscal year to date revenues are also 1.7% ahead of projections and if revenues hold 1.7%above pessimistic#2 this will produceFY 2010 coverage of a solid 1.86 times.lnves ment Renort
