Additional Background. A leave of absence of up to one (1) year may be granted to any unit member, upon application, for the purpose of participating in exchange teaching programs in other states, territories, or countries; foreign or military teaching programs; or cultural, travel, or work programs related to the unit member’s professional responsibilities; provided that the unit member states in writing the unit member’s intention to return to the school system.
Additional Background. Teachers shall be permitted to take a one (1) year leave of absence, provided, however, that on or before March 1st of the school year during their leave of absence, he or she must notify the Superintendent in writing that they intend to return to their former position. After such notice, the School Board will return the teacher to his or her former position for the following school year. A teacher will be given credit for a year of service if during the leave of absence he or she served in the military or engaged in an approved activity which benefits the teacher’s ability to teach. The Superintendent may require supporting documentation with respect to the teacher’s activities and shall make the determination whether the teacher’s service benefits the school district.
Additional Background. 1.1. The Foundation is a private charitable foundation organized under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in order to further the charitable intent established by the board of directors of the Foundation.
Additional Background. 31. After the hearing Con Xxxxxx informed the NYISO that the figures used for SUFs in the cost Allocation Report, totaling $71 million, were understated. In addition, the NYISO approved a change in the interconnection point for NYPA’s Xxxxxxx Expansion Project, a Class Year 2001 Project subject to the cost allocation proceeding. The impact of this project on Reliant’s Astoria project a Class Year 2002 Project, was of concern during the negotiations.
Additional Background. 1.1. The Cooperative has applied for exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code in order to further the Exempt Purposes of the Cooperative.
Additional Background. In 2018, many cruise ships that will make port of call in Skagway will be outfitted with, and utilize exhaust gas cleaning systems ( ‘scrubbers’) to meet air emissions standards imposed by the International Maritime Organization. Scrubbers on most of these ships are ‘open loop’ wet scrubbers meaning that large volumes of sea water is pumped onboard and mixed with engine exhaust to ‘capture’ air pollutants created by engine combustion. This highly acidic ‘washwater’ is then filtered, blended with reaction water (typically engine cooling seawater) to neutralize, and discharged. Per IMO/EPA guidance, the washwater must be within 2 pH units of surrounding (ambient) seawater when maneuvering or in transit, or a pH of 6.0 at the point of discharge. Scubbers represent a relatively new and mostly untested technology. In 2017, there were numerous reports of ‘oily sheens’ present adjacent to ships operating scrubbers while at different ports of call in Alaska. The IMO has Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) standards for washwater discharge in the form of ‘Phenanthrene equivalents’ (phenanthrene is one of EPAs 16 identified priority pollutant PAHs) although the EPA has found that ‘widespread use of scrubbers emitting washwater with PAH concentrations close to this limit could pose a risk to the environment’ (EPA 2011). The level of PAHs discharged into Skagway harbor from cruise ships is currently unknown. The volume of washwater effluent created by a cruise ship while in Skagway is contingent upon a suite of factors including the power requirements of the ship (number of generators and auxiliary engines in operation to meet ship’s power needs), whether the engines in operation are outfitted with a scrubber, the acidity of the washwater produced (more seawater is needed to buffer the washwater to meet pH standards), and the buffering capacity of the seawater (higher freshwater inputs lower buffering capacity). The quality of the washwater effluent is also largely unknown as continuous sampling occurs for only a subset of water quality attributes. In 2018, the NPS is partnering with NOAA to passively sample hydrocarbons in seawater within or adjacent to park boundaries utilized by cruise ships. Scientists with NOAA will travel to Alaska for deployment and retrieval of sampling equipment, providing an opportunity for Skagway to ‘springboard’ onto this sampling effort.

Additional Background. The Airport’s Borders store opened on May 31, 2005. The lease agreement with Borders was negotiated as an independent direct lease with the Port by the then-contracted third party leasing consultant. As a result of public outreach, some local bookstores, as well as Borders, examined the retail opportunity at the Airport. The Port preferred to lease to a locally owned bookstore; however, at the time, the location did not have any proven track record of success, as the Central Terminal was a brand-new facility. Given the perceived risk, and high occupancy costs, Borders became the one operator interested in leasing the bookstore location. Borders already operated over a dozen airport bookstores and was familiar with the unique requirements and challenges of airport operations. In spite of problems that plagued Borders, the Seattle location was a resounding success. It quickly became the Borders airport network’s highest grossing location. In its top grossing year, 2008, Borders achieved sales of nearly $5 million. In 2009-2010, Xxxxxxx began suffering from inventory problems, yet still achieved sales of $3.9 million each year. The Port earned 12% of gross sales; $470,000 in 2010. With this consistent track record of strong sales potential, Airport staff believes that it should be possible to identify a local bookstore operator interested in this space under terms of a new lease and concession agreement.
Additional Background. The sales performance of Borders Books in the Central Terminal had been one of the best among the approximately 24 airport Borders locations nation-wide. The location generated $4 million in sales in 2010 and provided the Port with $464,000 in revenue. Because the location was left intact as a bookstore, staff initially sought to recruit a local bookstore to operate in the space. Two local bookstores submitted proposals and negotiations were initiated with one bookstore. However, these efforts did not result in a successful negotiation. A local bookstore in this location would likely have been able to sustain a similar level of sales as Borders; however, in the aviation concessions industry, there is a general lack of confidence in the medium-term future for bookstores. Although airport bookstores are presumed to fare better than street-side retail stores, electronic e-readers and smart phones have simply reduced the overall demand for printed material. Airport staff was approached by Xxxxxx Group with a proposal for a new concept in airport retail for the former Borders space. Xxxxxx Group has a long history as an operator of airport stores and currently has a long-term contract for 22 news/gift and retail locations at the Airport. Its news/gift line of business also has felt the effects of the reduction in demand for printed material. Xxxxxx proactively is seeking to identify and enter new market niches where strong customer demand exists. Their proposed concept is a new combination of ‘grab and go’ healthy foods, fruit, snacks and beverages, drugstore comparable ‘over-the-counter’ medicines, full-size personal care products, and locally branded retail merchandise, in combination with a ‘Tech on the Go’ selection of technology products and traditional printed magazines and newspapers. Books will continue to be sold in two other dedicated Xxxxxx bookstores on Concourses A and C, as well as in Xxxxxx news/gift locations throughout the Airport. The Xxxxxx Marketplace name reflects the breadth of the product assortment, including categories not currently served by any airport concessionaire. The addition of the ‘grab and go’ healthy food offering, with a lower price point than its closest competition, will add another alternative for travelers. Most Central Terminal retail and quick serve concepts have by 2010 achieved 100% or better of the sales anticipated to be achieved by 2015. Staff believes that Xxxxxx Marketplace has the right offering to complement r...
