DOT Grant Monies and IMG

The January, 2006 board meeting states that by September, 2006, we will have spent $304,000 of the $455,000. To date the IMG report cost $100,000. In addition we paid IMG $53,000 (March, 2005 Board meeting page 5) to have them prepare six presentations.

If this is correct then more then half (153,000) of the $304,000 that will be spent by September, 2006 will have gone to IMG. After the March, 2005, mention of the six presentations I can find no mention as to the status of these 6 presentations.

These monies should have gone to airlines or to the passengers (free parking, etc). If I had known that $153,000 was going to be spent on consultants, I never would have pushed to get the grant.
