SRC-SEW S.B. 882 77(R) BILL ANALYSIS Senate Research Center S.B. 882 77R6227 JAT-DBy: Nelson Intergovernmental Relations 3/13/2001 As Filed DIGEST AND PURPOSE Currently, the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) Airport Board of Directors is composed of 11 members, seven from Dallas and four from Forth Worth. DFW Airport does not occupy any land within the city limits of Dallas or Fort Worth, but is within the city limits of Grapevine, Coppell, Irving, and Euless, the "host cities." As proposed, S.B. 882 restructures the DFW Airport Board of Directors by providing these four host cities with a rotating single position on the board. This position on the board enables the host cities to be advised of and participate in DFW Airport's operation decisions and development plans.
