The promotion would ;run for a period of 90 days and provide one (1) day of free parking to anyone that parks in either short or long term parking for three (3) or more days. The anticipated cost in terms of lost revenues to the airport budget would be approximately $84,000 this fiscal year_ The Commission indicated support of the promotion if it would ruin concurrently with the proposed increase in the daily parking rates. The rate increase would generate approximately $300,000 per annum in additional airport revenues and would cost customers an additional $3 per day for both long and short. The rates would increase: Short Term $8 to $l 1 and Long Term $12 to $15. 7Z'A I d .
