Los Angeles World Airports schedules regular Board of Airport Commissioners meeting

On the consent calendar, LAWA sought approval for a three-year contract worth $76.5 million with Zones LLC to supply information technology software licenses, renewals, and support services. The agenda states that this contract supports both operational and security-critical systems, ensuring continuity for databases, applications, and cybersecurity infrastructure. This represents one of the largest IT procurement packages undertaken by LAWA in recent years.

The agenda also included a resolution to accept grant offers from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for airfield improvements, roadway upgrades, noise mitigation, and the purchase and installation of Phase 2 electric ground support equipment chargers. According to the staff report, these grants will directly reimburse LAWA for capital expenditures at both LAX and Van Nuys Airport. Federal participation in such projects reduces LAWA’s reliance on internal funds and speeds modernization efforts.

A seven-member Board of Airport Commissioners governs LAWA under the City Charter with responsibility for formulating airport policy. Members are appointed by the Mayor, confirmed by the City Council, and serve staggered five-year terms. The current commissioners are President Karim Webb; Vice President Matthew Johnson; Vanessa Aramayo; Courtney La Bau; Victor Narro; Nicholas P. Roxborough; and Valeria C. Velasco. BOAC also has committees including the Audit Committee (Roxborough, Narro, Velasco) and the Security Committee (La Bau, Johnson, Webb), as per LAWA's official website.
