Council member: No airport deal May 09, 2008 Staff Report, Austin American-Statesman Officials with Macquarie Group Ltd., who had in the past talked to city officials about leasing Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, made similar rounds in the past month "to see whether the climate had changed" for such a deal, Austin City Council Member Betty Dunkerley said this week. It hasn't, she said. "I just told them that there'd have to be a lot of education done in the community for this to be viable," Dunkerley said. Repeating what other council members have said, Dunkerley said the public should have the right to vote on such a deal. The city clears about $10 million a year at the airport, but that surplus by law can be spent only on the airport grounds. A one-time payment from a company could give the city money for other purposes.
