So though the \u003cem>Star Wars\u003c/em> films don’t use San Francisco, in a way they are about the ethos of the city. They’re about the idea that young people can start making films in a different way so you don’t have to go Hollywood, You can stay at home in San Francisco with its greater liberalism and range of attitudes, so that you can be freer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phil Kaufman’s \u003cem>The Right Stuff\u003c/em> is also not about San Francisco, but the fact of the matter is that almost all of it was filmed in San Francisco and it’s the fruit of an attitude that says you can make a fllm in your home town.

The Rolling Stones documentary \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CG1rbUdHKg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gimme Shelter\u003c/a> — filmed in Altamont — is interesting in that era too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrhRsZ56b4g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>The Conversation\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is a great San Francisco film. It’s a noir film about people being bugged and spied on and surveilled; it’s a very prescient film in that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A film like \u003cem>Milk\u003c/em> is very interesting and obviously there have been a lot of important gay films, many of them documentaries.

Lucas and Coppola both really wanted to get away from LA because they thought there was a more supportive atmosphere up here. So though the \u003cem>Star Wars\u003c/em> films don’t use San Francisco, in a way they are about the ethos of the city. They’re about the idea that young people can start making films in a different way so you don’t have to go Hollywood, You can stay at home in San Francisco with its greater liberalism and range of attitudes, so that you can be freer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phil Kaufman’s \u003cem>The Right Stuff\u003c/em> is also not about San Francisco, but the fact of the matter is that almost all of it was filmed in San Francisco and it’s the fruit of an attitude that says you can make a fllm in your home town. He’s a great lover and exponent of the city.

How do you get them to work together?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: I don't see them as diametrically opposed. I believe you can be mission-driven and you can pursue and use the best practices of sustainable, scalable, entrepreneurship all in one. What it really comes down to is having a culture of experimentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: How did this project come about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: It all started, I believe, with a conversation between \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/idealab/2012/01/why-prx-knight-created-an-accelerator-for-public-media018.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jake Shapiro\u003c/a> of PRX and John Bracken from the Knight Foundation, saying if you look at what's going on in Silicon Valley and how much innovation these accelerator programs are producing, is there a way that we can leverage that type of model to support innovations in the areas we care about, in the future of media that matters?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at the same time, I used to produce films for \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/view/\" target=\"_blank\">Frontline\u003c/a> on Public Television. I loved what we did and I believed really deeply in what we did, but around 2005 it felt like the world was changing dramatically and it didn't feel like we were changing at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so I stepped away from one of the best jobs in public television because I wanted to learn more about entrepreneurship, about innovation and leadership so I could apply them, potentially, back to public media, either in the current institutions or by helping build startups that would put that mission forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">It's not just owning how is content produced or delivered but what is the business model around that, one of the key problems to solve within the media-that-matters space.\n\u003cp>--Matter CEO Corey Ford\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: And the one biggest thing that you learned that you would like to see apply to public media is…?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: It's really about building a culture of experimentation, one that is audience-centered and designed for their emerging needs, and that's not about getting it perfect. It's about taking your idea and building it in a way where you can get feedback from your audience, and then iterating on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Why doesn't that exist in Public Media today?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: Well, I am not saying that it doesn't exist in public media today...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Then more broadly...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: Right. I think it's challenging almost anywhere. You have to be really intentional about thinking about how to build a culture of experimentation, and I think any institution that's been around for a while, once they've had their successes, it's more risky to experiment with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So part of what we are doing is creating this place where we can think about the world from a blank-slate perspective. We can ask ourselves, if we are going to build a meaningful media institution, how might we do that leveraging emerging technologies, seeking new business models, and I think most importantly designing explicitly for the needs and emerging behaviors of our audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: What kind of startups are you looking for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: The one constant in early-stage entrepreneurship is everything is going to change, so you really want to find the people and the teams who are driven by a similar mission that we're looking for. They have a vision for how their startups are going to impact society in a way that makes its citizens more informed, engaged or empowered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of specific ideas, I think they can range from participatory platforms -- think Twitter -- business-to-business services, mobile-first applications. Maybe a Kickstarter business model, designed for mobile first, which appeals to millennials, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally what I would call not content but content-production engines. We are looking for people who think of their startups as a venture. It's not just owning how is content produced or delivered but what is the business model around that, one of the key problems to solve within the media-that-matters space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: What is it about this geographic area that you think makes a good fit for innovating public media?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: There is a culture to Silicon Valley that is really hard to copy anywhere else. For me, and I think it is really misunderstood in some places, what it comes down to is what does failure look like in your organization? Is it something that is celebrated by the top leadership and reverberates so that it says I can experiment and I can learn and adjust based on that? And I think Silicon Valley has that nailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"boland\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>End interview. Here's the interview with KQED President and CEO John Boland...\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOSHUA JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: This sounds like new territory for a public media organization -- to be involved and, literally, invested in a venture like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED's JOHN BOLAND\u003c/strong>: It is something new and it also fits perfectly with our strategy for KQED, which is to develop and invent a new model for public media. The reason we are doing that is the needs of our audience are changing so drastically and things in the community are changing rapidly, largely because of digital technology. So we feel we need to innovate and reinvent at a fairly rapid clip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: I often deal with KQED audience members who want everything to stay exactly the way it is -- they don't want any kind of change and if you change it, I am taking my membership dollars back. But the reality is we really are in an era in which all the rules are being thrown out. So what is KQED experiencing, specifically?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: We have to be all things to all people. Television and radio are still around and continuing, and we fully intend to continue those services in a very robust way. But we know that people are increasingly using laptops and smart phones and tablets, and they are not only accessing media in different ways, the media is being created in different ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, audiences are engaging in a kind of a two-way conversation in a way they never could with radio and television. We are definitely getting the signal from folks that you need to deliver KQED with this new digital content and services, and with the community that is convening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Explain what some of the challenges are in terms of innovation in public media, which seems to deal with some specific kinds of strictures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: I think we have some specific strictures and some specific opportunities. I think the opportunity part is that public media, although it is a nonprofit and that's always a struggle financially, has a financial model in terms of community support that's still working, whereas the ad-supported model in commercial media has really fallen apart on the digital side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the difficulty is we are so busy keeping up with the needs of the community as we see them now and delivering the services as we see them now that it's hard to find room and resources for trying new things. A lot of the ideas are coming from entrepreneurs and people with concepts that not only are designed to become the next Google and make lots of money, but really to change the world and media in positive ways. A lot of that is happening outside our ecosystem, and we feel like we need to make that connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: So why don't we see more independent producers now, walking into their local PBS station or NPR station, saying, \"I've got a great idea for this thing and it takes this much and it can be done this way and... ta-da!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: What's interesting is that we get a lot of independent radio or TV producers coming in with great ideas, and we engage them, but we don't necessarily get people coming in saying, \"I have a new technology application that will really help you connect and serve your audience better.\" And the reason is they don't feel a public media organization is going to have the resources to invest in them, so they show up at a venture capital firm or an incubator or an accelerator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Talk about where the dollars for this come from. This is a huge investment that KQED is making. I can imagine someone saying, \"I'd rather you just put that toward something you are already doing and keep me happy the way you're already doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: The dollars won't come away from the services we provide now or even their growth. What people don't realize is that KQED makes investments like this every year. We invest in a new radio transmitter, a new television master control. So this is coming out of that, our capital reserve fund, from which every year we spend several million dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: For KQED members and audiences who think this is just an awesome idea but it seems hard to wrap their arms around, anything else they should know?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: I think it's legitimate for people to raise the question -- and people have raised it-- \"Is this a risky thing for KQED to do?\" And I would say not really, because we are not investing in this to get a big financial return. We're smart enough to know most startups do not become Google or Apple. What we are really looking for is an innovation return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If out of this investment we get some great ideas that are going to help us do better work, if we meet some great people whose company maybe doesn't take off but they end up coming to work for KQED, if we find some great technology that we can leverage, then I think it will be a worthwhile investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: One of the things that I have discussed with Corey Ford is the nature of failure in innovation. If this venture fails, how does that reflect on KQED?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: I think it reflects that we are willing to take risks because the fact is we are in an environment now where you hear the phrase \"fail forward.\" You have to try things. And I am confident we are going to learn something from this. I hope it's a good lesson and not a bad lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 9:50 a.m.\u003c/strong> So what is an \"accelerator\" anyway?

And because he wanted to ask him, you know, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/02/matter-ventures-media-accelerato/#boland\">what's a nice org like you doing in a space like this\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't want to get too self-involved here. For those of you interested in issues facing public media organizations like KQED, as well as the disruptive effect on business models and content delivery that digital technology has had on all media, have at these. For the rest of you, here are some \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/11/28/11-creative-images-of-the-bay-area-rain/\" target=\"_blank\">awesome images of the Bay Area rain\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003ca href=\"http://matter.vc/#apply\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Sign up for application details\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I will say this: Joshua's first question posits the idea that the cultures of Silicon Valley and public media are \"diametrically opposed.\" As someone who has worked within both now, I think that's an interesting starting point for a pair of good discussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, CEO Corey Ford, who described the new Matter accelerator as a place \"where the values of public media meet the mindset of Silicon Valley.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both of the following transcripts have been edited for length and readability...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: I think that, intuitively, people understand the ethos of Silicon Valley, and people who watch and listen to KQED or other public stations understand the ethos of public media – and those seem to be almost diametrically opposed. How do you get them to work together?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: I don't see them as diametrically opposed. I believe you can be mission-driven and you can pursue and use the best practices of sustainable, scalable, entrepreneurship all in one. What it really comes down to is having a culture of experimentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: How did this project come about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: It all started, I believe, with a conversation between \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/idealab/2012/01/why-prx-knight-created-an-accelerator-for-public-media018.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jake Shapiro\u003c/a> of PRX and John Bracken from the Knight Foundation, saying if you look at what's going on in Silicon Valley and how much innovation these accelerator programs are producing, is there a way that we can leverage that type of model to support innovations in the areas we care about, in the future of media that matters?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at the same time, I used to produce films for \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/view/\" target=\"_blank\">Frontline\u003c/a> on Public Television. I loved what we did and I believed really deeply in what we did, but around 2005 it felt like the world was changing dramatically and it didn't feel like we were changing at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so I stepped away from one of the best jobs in public television because I wanted to learn more about entrepreneurship, about innovation and leadership so I could apply them, potentially, back to public media, either in the current institutions or by helping build startups that would put that mission forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">It's not just owning how is content produced or delivered but what is the business model around that, one of the key problems to solve within the media-that-matters space.\n\u003cp>--Matter CEO Corey Ford\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: And the one biggest thing that you learned that you would like to see apply to public media is…?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: It's really about building a culture of experimentation, one that is audience-centered and designed for their emerging needs, and that's not about getting it perfect. It's about taking your idea and building it in a way where you can get feedback from your audience, and then iterating on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Why doesn't that exist in Public Media today?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: Well, I am not saying that it doesn't exist in public media today...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Then more broadly...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: Right. I think it's challenging almost anywhere. You have to be really intentional about thinking about how to build a culture of experimentation, and I think any institution that's been around for a while, once they've had their successes, it's more risky to experiment with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So part of what we are doing is creating this place where we can think about the world from a blank-slate perspective. We can ask ourselves, if we are going to build a meaningful media institution, how might we do that leveraging emerging technologies, seeking new business models, and I think most importantly designing explicitly for the needs and emerging behaviors of our audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: What kind of startups are you looking for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: The one constant in early-stage entrepreneurship is everything is going to change, so you really want to find the people and the teams who are driven by a similar mission that we're looking for. They have a vision for how their startups are going to impact society in a way that makes its citizens more informed, engaged or empowered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of specific ideas, I think they can range from participatory platforms -- think Twitter -- business-to-business services, mobile-first applications. Maybe a Kickstarter business model, designed for mobile first, which appeals to millennials, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally what I would call not content but content-production engines. We are looking for people who think of their startups as a venture. It's not just owning how is content produced or delivered but what is the business model around that, one of the key problems to solve within the media-that-matters space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: What is it about this geographic area that you think makes a good fit for innovating public media?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FORD\u003c/strong>: There is a culture to Silicon Valley that is really hard to copy anywhere else. For me, and I think it is really misunderstood in some places, what it comes down to is what does failure look like in your organization? Is it something that is celebrated by the top leadership and reverberates so that it says I can experiment and I can learn and adjust based on that? And I think Silicon Valley has that nailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"boland\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>End interview. Here's the interview with KQED President and CEO John Boland...\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOSHUA JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: This sounds like new territory for a public media organization -- to be involved and, literally, invested in a venture like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED's JOHN BOLAND\u003c/strong>: It is something new and it also fits perfectly with our strategy for KQED, which is to develop and invent a new model for public media. The reason we are doing that is the needs of our audience are changing so drastically and things in the community are changing rapidly, largely because of digital technology. So we feel we need to innovate and reinvent at a fairly rapid clip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: I often deal with KQED audience members who want everything to stay exactly the way it is -- they don't want any kind of change and if you change it, I am taking my membership dollars back. But the reality is we really are in an era in which all the rules are being thrown out. So what is KQED experiencing, specifically?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: We have to be all things to all people. Television and radio are still around and continuing, and we fully intend to continue those services in a very robust way. But we know that people are increasingly using laptops and smart phones and tablets, and they are not only accessing media in different ways, the media is being created in different ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, audiences are engaging in a kind of a two-way conversation in a way they never could with radio and television. We are definitely getting the signal from folks that you need to deliver KQED with this new digital content and services, and with the community that is convening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Explain what some of the challenges are in terms of innovation in public media, which seems to deal with some specific kinds of strictures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: I think we have some specific strictures and some specific opportunities. I think the opportunity part is that public media, although it is a nonprofit and that's always a struggle financially, has a financial model in terms of community support that's still working, whereas the ad-supported model in commercial media has really fallen apart on the digital side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the difficulty is we are so busy keeping up with the needs of the community as we see them now and delivering the services as we see them now that it's hard to find room and resources for trying new things. A lot of the ideas are coming from entrepreneurs and people with concepts that not only are designed to become the next Google and make lots of money, but really to change the world and media in positive ways. A lot of that is happening outside our ecosystem, and we feel like we need to make that connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: So why don't we see more independent producers now, walking into their local PBS station or NPR station, saying, \"I've got a great idea for this thing and it takes this much and it can be done this way and... ta-da!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: What's interesting is that we get a lot of independent radio or TV producers coming in with great ideas, and we engage them, but we don't necessarily get people coming in saying, \"I have a new technology application that will really help you connect and serve your audience better.\" And the reason is they don't feel a public media organization is going to have the resources to invest in them, so they show up at a venture capital firm or an incubator or an accelerator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Talk about where the dollars for this come from. This is a huge investment that KQED is making. I can imagine someone saying, \"I'd rather you just put that toward something you are already doing and keep me happy the way you're already doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: The dollars won't come away from the services we provide now or even their growth. What people don't realize is that KQED makes investments like this every year. We invest in a new radio transmitter, a new television master control. So this is coming out of that, our capital reserve fund, from which every year we spend several million dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: For KQED members and audiences who think this is just an awesome idea but it seems hard to wrap their arms around, anything else they should know?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: I think it's legitimate for people to raise the question -- and people have raised it-- \"Is this a risky thing for KQED to do?\" And I would say not really, because we are not investing in this to get a big financial return. We're smart enough to know most startups do not become Google or Apple. What we are really looking for is an innovation return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If out of this investment we get some great ideas that are going to help us do better work, if we meet some great people whose company maybe doesn't take off but they end up coming to work for KQED, if we find some great technology that we can leverage, then I think it will be a worthwhile investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: One of the things that I have discussed with Corey Ford is the nature of failure in innovation. If this venture fails, how does that reflect on KQED?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BOLAND\u003c/strong>: I think it reflects that we are willing to take risks because the fact is we are in an environment now where you hear the phrase \"fail forward.\" You have to try things. And I am confident we are going to learn something from this. I hope it's a good lesson and not a bad lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 9:50 a.m.\u003c/strong> So what is an \"accelerator\" anyway?

But the “$2.1 million recovery described in the DOT report would not have an appreciable effect on SFO,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The airport repaid $137,000 to the Transportation Security Administration after \u003ca href=\"http://bayc.it/dKQ2/\" target=\"_blank\">a 2011 audit\u003c/a> found it had made $303,000 in questionable payments to a construction management firm with funds that were intended for a baggage inspection system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yakel said that the earlier misuse of baggage system funds was the result of a “recording error” and the amount repaid totaled less than 1 percent of the stimulus award. The airport had received $15.3 million from the Transit Safety Administration for baggage screening equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking back improperly used stimulus money is a rare occurrence, said Craig Jennings of the watchdog group OMB Watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You just don't see that a lot,” said Jennings. “I would like to think it had a lot to do with the transparency requirements in the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Misuse of funds allocated by the Department of Transportation, which distributes federal dollars for transportation projects across the country, is a broader issue, according to the inspector general, an independent watchdog for the transportation department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the department has improved in recent years, there are still improper payments slipping through the cracks, the inspector general said in its November report. That includes an estimated $31 million given to airports across the country for improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Reduction and recovery of improper payments are longstanding challenges for DOT,” the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector general estimated in 2011 that Department of Transportation made $450 million in improper payments in its federal highway aid program. The department distributes about $60 billion each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin Nisly, a spokesman for the department, said it had a \"strong record of oversight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the Department of Transportation reviewed 90 percent of its financial programs and found an error rate of “less than 1 percent,” Nisly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Within that rate, the majority of improper payments was due primarily to individual errors in project paperwork, such as administrative or documentation mistakes, rather than improper use of funds,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $14.5 million in stimulus money went to resurface two runways, reconstruct sections of the runways, upgrade the lighting with LED lights, repaint the runway markings and improve drainage, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.faa.gov/news/press_releases/news_story.cfm?newsId=11797&print=go\" target=\"_blank\">2010 press release \u003c/a>from the FAA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spokesmen for the airport, the Department of Transportation and the inspector general’s office declined to comment on the nature of the airport’s unauthorized construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nisly declined to comment on what would become of the $2.1 million to be returned by the airport, saying the matter was being still being investigated by the inspector general.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
