He said the streamlining of the workforce is also possible due CPA’s continuous revenue decline.
On Oct. 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year, CPA restored the 80-hour work schedule for its personnel to “boost their morale.”
Camacho said they want to retain all their personnel.
“We will find ways to reduce operations expenditures…and one of the ways we can lower down our operating cost is the energy consumption,” he said.
CPA’s airport and seaport operations pay around $50,000 for its monthly utility expenses.
Camacho, who assumed office on Nov. 10, noticed that many lights are still on even in daytime.
He said they will enforce an energy plan that will limit the use of lights in the airport area, excluding the runway streetlights.
They also plan to control and monitor the use of air-conditioning units.
“Instead of reducing the work hours of personnel, we’ll find other way to save,” said Camacho, who has a one-year, $70,000 contract with the CPA board.
“My focus is to do my job the best way possible…from the engineering side to the airport operation, personnel, and the relationship with the airlines,” he said.
According to Camacho, “The turn-around efforts, I believe, started for CPA when a new board was established and critical personnel were hired.”
