 All right, so I will call to order the meeting of the Airport Commission at 4pm on May 3rd. Commissioners attending remotely, if you can please unmute and acknowledge yourselves for a moment. Very great to see you. Welcome to the Airport Commission. Thank you. Good to see you as always. All right, so the first item that we have is the agenda itself. Do I have a motion to approve the agenda as presented? So moved. That's moved by Greg. Is there a second? Seconded by Stephen. Any comments or proposed changes to the agenda? Hearing none, all those in favor adopting the agenda as presented, please signify by saying aye. Any opposed? We have an agenda and three is public forum. Hello folks. Anything to say from Harry to Jamie Dation? I think that's awesome. Yeah, so let me introduce Ben real quick. So Ben, I think you said this your third day or third time. So he's interning with Dave's Department of Operations for us for a couple months or a month. I think he wants to be an air traffic controller, but Dave is saying he needs to be an airport operation. Don't crush his dream, Ben. All right, I mean, you guys want to say in public forum today or are you just here to observe? Just here to observe. Yeah, here we are. Greg, just don't wire this out. Thank you for coming today and I don't see anyone from the public. In that list. So we will close down public forum. Move on to item four, which is the consent agenda. Do we hear a motion to approve the contents of the consent agenda? So moved. So moved by Greg. Is there a second? Thank you, Stephen. Seconded by Stephen. Nick, anything you want to mention on the consent agenda regarding the appointments? What I typically mention, which is we're almost there. We're almost there. So this is January, February, March numbers. When you look at the three total, we're still, you know, fourish percent, five percent away from our 2019 numbers, not including the 2020, even though that's one of the pandemic hit in March of 2020. And especially the 26,000 month of March in 2020 versus a normal 52,000, which is what we typically see in the month of March. Yeah, the month of March. Still not quite there yet. We are there and you'll hear that. We're in my report later on. Certainly they're in our parking capacity in our parking garage. Definitely during the times of holiday and school breaks. Projections moving forward. We have a very strong airline forecast coming our way for the months, for really the summer months. So we're looking forward to a busy summer and hopefully getting back up to that 100 percent mark, if not beyond 2000, definitely 2020, but 2019 calendar years. Great. Commissioner, is there any other? Yeah. Yeah. I forgot to mention, I was also going to mention that our landed weight capacity is up as well. Just as a quick reminder, we track that because we bill based on gross maximum landed weight on our runway. You can see the month of March had a 67 plus a million dollar total land. 67 million pounds of landed weight in the month of March 2023 when you cruise through the last 10 years of years. That's right up there with some of our peak months. And that's a really great sign. You're going to see that in the numbers for April. You're definitely going to see that in the month of May, which we just started. For example, United Airlines is now operating three mainline every single month starting this Friday and going for the rest of the month, as well as our June numbers coming back online with additional routes coming on. Minneapolis, St. Paul start in the month of June. So again, it just goes back to that statement of we're going to have a very busy summer with passengers in operations as usual. Is this the time to ask? Yes, any of the contents of the is the airport ready? We're ready. We have there's there's a couple things that always adds the challenge of peak number of passengers, peak number of operations, both on airfield, terminal, parking, etc. And that's construction that always adds a little bit of a strategic challenge that we have to overcome. We have some major projects happening at our airfield. And we have some peak hours that we're working with both TSA. The good news is we finished most of the construction in the terminal. So we're open on a new north and renovations that we have up there, which is going to really add to the experience of our customers. And we're working on new projects for parking garage and other opportunities for parking so that we don't hit some of those peak hours. We're not the only one though for parking challenges in the airport industry. All of our partners in New England and actually beyond a utility. It's very similar where that the clientele of the past year is a little bit different. The staying in the parking garage is a little bit longer and the overlap, especially like I said during our day time periods is definitely longer. We need to really analyze this before we can make some recommendations for changes specific to the garage. But overall airfield, terminal, parking and beyond operations, engineering, planning for next year's project. We're getting there and I'll go through the reorg updates a little bit later. We're getting there. We're fully staffed in the operations department. In fact, Dave is going to sign off the newest personal update this week. So we're fully staffed in our operations department. Our ambassador team is not yet staffed, but Marie's been doing an exceptional job growing that team. I think you hired two new people this week over the last two weeks. One this last week, but we've been hiring. We've been hiring. We're also seeing shifts. We're seeing some folks leaving. One in particular going to TSA. We're moving around and we're also working with our partners too because we're in a good position, the city. They have more teams. We're staffed to meet its operations, almost staffed and ambassador. That's always going to be a fluctuation. We're in a really good position. It's our partners that need to help. It's the airline partners or more specifically the ground annulers. It's our concessionary, it's fun to use, getting banking. I don't want to speak for heritage, but those are the folks that really are looking for new hires to really accommodate. Have you heard anything from the FAA about cutbacks? They're staffing. I heard up and down the east coast there's been any cutbacks because of FAA with the titties this summer. You're talking air traffic control? I have not heard that. We meet with FAA tower manager every week. She has not advised that there's any cutbacks here. In fact, they just got an increase here at this facility. I would think it's just the little the regional airports that we think is mostly within air traffic control centers. Right, I expect going to the limitations of going into those major metro areas. We haven't directly seen a result of that going into the New York area specifically in D.C. We might see that this summer with some of those cutbacks. The good part is a lot of these airlines are operating mainline aircraft. It's going to give us a slight advantage over keeping a slot or however those airlines are working. Their network is out versus regional jets, which could be a little bit easier to cut that would happen. We're American, United, Delta are all operating the BFARs, not all of the routes, but any of them. Bring it on. I like the new commercials I've been seeing on TV and social media and such. Congratulations to Weber is responsible for that. Hannah, okay, thank you. I know that Hannah in the past has been responsible for identifying the number of openings that exist in a parking lot on the website. I'm wondering if those two can communicate with each other. I'm thinking that if we are going to have a larger number of people this summer, a lot of those people may not have been flying for a couple of years. They're hustling to get to the airport and then all of a sudden they're freaked out because they're on the third floor and they're wondering if there's going to be available spots. There always is, but it's just that moment of uncertainty that create some concern amongst people. Just wondering if there's some way, I know that some of those commercials and ads don't have any spoken words, but I'm just wondering if there's some sort of way that we could remind people that there's valuable information on the website, including the information on the available parking spots. I think Hannah has done a really good job with mostly social media campaigns. For example, as soon as we revised the team and we knew the projection for coming in very pink demand over that school vacation period, so what Hannah was able to do was post every single day, point to the website, point to alternative locations. We're not yet advertising. We still want to advertise to come to the airport, the airport, and then Marie's team, Ambassador team, the maintenance team, the operations team were all really integral in finding additional parking in our parking garage, even though there wasn't a line strike necessarily there. That required a lot of annual labor, a lot of pinpointing and communication to make that happen, but on the social side and the preemptive side of prior to coming to the airport, we're going to be challenging to change those controls because there's a lot of social campaigns and we do have 20,000 plus followers, hopefully those are all the people in the challenge, but we too try to after that as live as we possibly can, whether social, radio, word or other means. And I think we're going to go to the website. Yeah, and I think we have a couple of radios about coming up over the summer that give a shout out for our website, a little bit more information about flights, but yeah, on the fly, things, it's definitely the best that we try to communicate through socials. In that social functioning that you were doing, we're very close to actually did hit capacity, but we were creating spots. We didn't let anybody show up at the airport and not be able to park. And so that was, I have to give a really big shout out especially to those Ambassador teams that were hustling and we got extra support from other teams here at the airport, but in that daily, those daily postings, it was saying, just, you know, we have parking up on the fourth and fifth floor. So be mindful, like letting people know messaging that the garage is more than one floor to the boards, right? So if so many things are going to just like, go, we go up and we had ambassadors when we were super busy, we actually had ambassadors that were stationed, like if you were coming up and going to go to the garage that were stationed there and they were telling us when we had actually some ambassadors in the garage as well, who were like helping to direct traffic and helping so that people didn't spend an amount of time looking for parking spots. So little time consuming, but we were trying to get that message out there. And I want to be really careful too that this isn't all the time. These are in various facilities. I'm president of it. I think that it was unprecedented for the amount of, you know, how quickly we went up to capacity because then this is a new, this is a new phenomenon here, but we are planning that it will happen again. It doesn't typically, the summer tends to be a lower capacity for the airport. We have a lot of vacation travelers, we have a lot of people coming to the area and renting cars and things like that. So our peak is like March and April are the biggest months for our parking broad drive and who's the biggest for the capacity. So just sort of an interesting phenomenon that when we say that we try to assist the customers and have them, they can have a good experience for the get-go. Well, it helps me stay at the airport and make sure it's fine. And there's great improvements happening too. We're looking at it on a short-term and a long-term strategy, right? Yes, we reacted to some of this holiday break, reacted really well to it because we knew we saw it back in February during that break as well, but long-term planning hotel is going to be a major addition to that. So we have the data ahead of time, who's parking, not the full garage, but a portion of it. We have better lighting in the garage. We're going to have a new signage program going into Murray's point to direct people going up. So it's a one-century, one-way access points throughout the garage. So it should have that better experience for a passenger to get to the first available spot rather than search. All right, commissioners, any of that? We're checking on the consent agenda still, but are there any comments or questions of the content of the consent agenda? Hearing none, all those if they were approved in the contents as presented, please signify by saying aye. Any opposed? It's been approved, can we move on? I abstain. Oh, yes, sorry. Yeah, I was not here, so I'll abstain. Okay, fair enough. Item five are action items. The first item up for business is 501, director of aviation and re-appointment letter. Oh, this one has my name on it, so I'll use one. So I will make a motion, I would entertain a motion that we convey the content of the current version of the re-appointment letter to the mayor, endorsing Nick, endorsing our position of Nick being re-appointed for another year's airport director. Do I hear a motion to that effect? So I'm going to thank you, Greg. Do I hear a second? Okay, thank you, Stephen. So for those of you, Jeff would know this, most other commissioners wrote something new, but we tried to be a little different this year. Historically, the drafting of this letter came from one source, and we decided to open that up for multiple sources that have been put this year, so thank you for all the commissioners who weighed in at the multiple stages for this. I guess I would just start with, are there any, now that you've all seen two or three drafts of the commissioners, do you have any proposed changes that you would like to make to the letter, any amendments, any tweaks, anything like that? Okay, so thank you for that. And then, just any comments on the process, any comments on Nick's performance that you want to call out at this particular time before we take a motion on the vote itself, and I take a motion to vote on the letter itself? I think the letter speaks for itself, so I won't overstate the obvious, but I just want to say it's been a real pleasure working with you, Nick. I've only been here for a short period of time, but what I've seen in terms of your interaction with staff, what I've seen in terms of your display and how you handle yourself, in terms of news and reviews, I just think we're lucky to have someone. Thank you. You're welcome. I love this job, so thank you. Anything else, commissioners? All right, thank you, Nick, for your work extended. You've taken the airport a long way. It's the summer of 21st century, so yeah, done great work. Thank you. Thank you. All right, so I'll call the question. Commissioners, all those in favor, please get by by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Thank you all. Thank you, Nick. We move on to item 5.02, which is a contract for airfield markings, so I'm willing to entertain a motion that the Board of Finance and City Council approve entering into a contract with Highway Airfield Services for runway and taxi markings, so your motion to that effect. So moved. All right, thank you, Greg. Do I hear a second? So thank you, Stephen. And Dave here. Sure, I'll try to explain that a little bit. So this is every year we have to review majority of the markings for the airfield, taxiways, and runways, and especially for our inspection that we have coming up on July 18th, 19th, 20th, we'll be prepared for that. So we do some of the markings in-house, a lot of it is done via contract. So that's why we have to go out to the Board of Finance. So this is to remove the existing paint to about 60 to 80% of removal, eradication of that existing paint. So it actually gives a more of a clean surface paint with here. So that's, so the eradicated and put the stuff down. Jordan, taxiway, more of the intricate stuff that the in-house staff does not do. So. Great. Commissioner, is that something you have to do every year? Yep. No, I mean, any inspection you get every year, but taking the old paint off is done every year? And yeah, it all depends also on how many years we, what we'll do is wait a couple of years, wait for it to build up a little bit, but you don't want a significant amount of build up. You start getting four or five or six layers of paint and it doesn't adhere properly to the surface. So usually we wait about a eradicated every couple of years and then we take it off. And it is a little bit more complex than just the paint, like street paint. Most of the paint all requires glass pieces inside of it for reflectivity. So that builds on to what Dave was talking about with those layers that Chris did. And the reason why we put up it also is because the eradication actually is a water blaster that uses about 10,000 PSI to eliminate the, actually takes up the existing market for putting the new markets down. So it's quite a process and we don't have the equipment to do that eradication, that's why the company comes in. And actually the beads, I think kind of good point, but the beads we actually use is what's called a virgin bead, which is a certain type of bead that increases the amount of reflectivity so you can lose a certain amount of beads and it still maintains that reflectivity. So it should maintain for the year and that's why the beads with sweepers and the plows and stuff, it really takes a toll on this part. So that's why we have to do them here. Chris, any other comments or questions? Dave, it looks based on this document that you receive two proposals. Are you going to have two different contractors working on this or is just one going to do all the sort of contracted work? Well, we have two things. We have both the markings, as well as the rubber removal and the same contract that came in for each bull for them. We'll have the same contract for both work efforts. And just out of curiosity, is this a contractor that has a good reputation in the business or is this sort of a new person? No, we've actually been here last year or two, so it's good to have them back here. A lot of times the airlines will hire these, the same group. These are pretty well-known, especially in the region, well-known quality. Dave and I had a lot of conversations here with the quality, making sure that if they are aligned with what we were expecting, the airlines are actually going to be hiring the highlight as well to do their markings. They are responsible for their markings and at their peak positions, and they're very comfortable with these, not just at our others. All right. Commissioner, is there any other comments? Just one other out of curiosity, because I actually, years ago, I did some of this work, and it was a hand machine. I would never do it again. I tell you, it was just a mess. You had to get out of it with razor blades to clear up the paint came out, and it was just a mess. And I know that we have to stay in communication with the tower all the time, and I imagine that it's tricky work. The machinery, obviously, is much better. Is some of it, just out of curiosity, some of it done at night? It's a fascinating process to watch. I don't know if it's highlight, but some will use robots to actually marking out the plans based on the engineering designs and all that good stuff. This is what they do. This is, a lot of times, this is the paint crew that goes from place to place to place to place. So it's incredibly efficient. Our crew is really, really fantastic. We do have those stand-on machines. We just purchased two years ago, I believe, our new truck, which you have a driver and you have somebody sitting in the back of the end of the truck, very precisely aligning lasers and things like that, and the work that we do, or sometimes I think we're doing all the runway work this year. Yeah, more of the ones, the two of the ones, the two pieces of stuff. And we have concrete containers, more tea stuff. Were there, are there more expertise in? You can actually see on the map, some of the big white markings are just these massive areas that our crew can get in there to do what they have to do, really precisely, mostly on the runway. And then everything else is essentially this contract they've worked, like Dave was saying, all the yellow. And every marking in every location means a very specific thing. So it's got to be incredibly precise and accurate up to quality standards. All right, Christian, is that all those in favor? Please just probably say aye. All right. Opposed? You've gone to item 5.03, which is the airfield rubber room, we already started patting a little bit. So before we go there, I have to entertain the motion first to recommend to the Board of Finance and City Council that they approve the energy into a contract with private airfield services for residual rubber removal. So I'm going to go ahead and do here a second. Thank you, Steven. It's good to be the team of each other. Okay, great. So if we take a look at the picture up there, you'll see the big blocks, I'd say about the fifth down each end of the runway, that is 2.03 here. But basically, in a section of here, from here to back here, you'll see a black patch, what that is, that is the rubber buildup that happens. So when it touches those, we have so many large aircrafts, airline aircrafts, F-35s that they usually touch down about 1000 feet down the runway. And that's when that buildup starts to become a problem, because it actually decreases the amount of braking at aircrafts. And so what we have to do is we have to drive it going and remove that rubber. And now look at that, but it also obscures the markings out there too. So the centerline of the runway is obscured. So occasionally we have to put a known amount, which is a notification file saying that runway markings are obscured. So because of that, we have to have the contract come in to eradicate the rubber. So we do have, it's a two-year contract, and it's for four applications, twice per year. Commissioner, do you have any questions? Thanks. Seeing none, all those that bear with me say goodbye by saying hi. All right. Any of those? And the last action item, 5.04 is an airport budget amendment. I entertain a motion to recommend approval for this budget amendment by the Port of Finance and City Council. So moved. Second. Yeah. All right. Three, what do you have for us all? Well, a couple of times a year, especially as we get later in the year, I will break before they find you the amendment. And we have, we have quite a few cost centers, and we have each line, the center requires us, even though we are well within our budget overall, they require us to have an approved budget for each expense line item, each cost center. So as you can imagine, as the year goes on, I end up with some line items, some are very small and some are a lot larger, where I'd be a little bit more money in order to comply with the city procurement policies and budget policies. And so this budget amendment is bringing forward and is looking to, we'll say, correct and better estimate the actual spending pattern that we have this year, this year, 2023 budget. So I'm bringing those forward and trying to describe in groups, sort of to give you, give a better understanding of which areas that why we're adjusting it, maybe some of the specifics that we had. So some areas we had, maybe some are just adjustments, corrections, and then just some are a little bit more, we're, especially like in some of our professional contracting services, electrical supplies that we have in the runway, we've been replacing a lot of lights and other such things that come out of that category of runway, we have a very large runway. So it's easy if we start replacing more things to have that be higher than we maybe thought or historically have seen. So this is just an adjustment to bring that forward. And I take this information and I use it as we're projecting a building or new budget. Do we have any specific questions on any of the items that I have or just in general in process of what I'm doing? Yes. Very under rentals equipment. Yes. It talks about the front-end loader and the renting was needed. And the last sentence says we intend to seek a permanent solution in time for next winter and the increased request is $50,000. The $50,000 just for the rental or some of that earmarked for purchase perhaps? That is just for the rental. So the rental was about $45,000 for the rental for three months. We this is a ginormous bucket loader. I mean it's it's you have to claim into this thing and I forget the span you might know but the span of the 4-H. What? It's big. I mean it could be golf, the whole thing is left in all of us. So we need that when we have storms and we have big storms that is what we use to manipulate the snow and to you know make areas clear and all of that. Our bucket loader was very old, the one that we had and it was got to the point that it really was not flexible anymore. And so we're going to do an RFP and go ahead and cure the best price that we can. The third pretty pricey. Yeah, half a million, $600,000. So it was a short-term solution for us and absolutely something that we essentially needed. We've rented it just for those months that we needed it for. I'll just add real quick just because it's it's highly related. We haven't had a equipment replacement plan in quite some time. So this past year, the airport, the team and myself completely analyzed a 10-plus year equipment replacement plan for every piece of equipment that we own. This one was one of them because we wanted to get for it for some time because we have additional spaces out there to clear what we're saying. Larry keeps building more services out there. So having that formalized and known process of replacing the equipment and knowing that this is one of those first initial pieces that we need to place along with another piece that's going to be going on to bid pretty soon, which is another half a million, three-quarter a million dollar piece. It's highly, highly important to us. So then we all have to think about this. Yes. Newbie question. The intro says you're seeking a over half a million dollar budget neutral amendment. There are a little background saying an increase, increase, increase, increase, increase. Does that end up being budget neutral? Ah, great question. So in the chart, the sort of the graphic that I have in there, I have a section that shows all the increases and then below I have a section that shows the decreases. Yeah, we earlier this year, we came to you and got approval for us through a lighting and fire alarm major overhaul in this garage. We are now starting that project. So and as part of that, because we didn't start that, we'll say in the winter or before that, we didn't have the costs. I had budgeted for the, when I got the contract approved, I put it out there thinking, oh, we'll get this going, we'll get this done. But just due to timing, planning and everything else, getting an appointment, we're now starting it. This project is going to take probably about a year. So we will spend some of it this year. So I have a budget that I increased this repairs and expense. You'll see that it looks like I'm looks like I'm doing a great job managing my cost of repairs and expense on the P&L. It's very low percentile compared to the overall budget because it was such a lot. It was like a 2 million, 2 plus dollar. Which answers your question from the last previous reading of why so low on the repairs. Yeah. So I'm going ahead and I don't need to increase the revenue. I do have some revenues that we're going to be above, but I can take it from there. I can just say, well, I'm not going to spend it this year. So you move it where we need it. All right. Commissioner, is there anything else? All right, Karen Young, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. All right. Those carries. Includes or actually, so you're going to item six, which is the construction update. All right. So I'll give you a little update on the parking garage. I know we've talked about quite a bit already. So we are starting that project. The contractor actually has been on site daily for three months, getting prepared, reviewing everything. We are starting to quadrant off the south portion of the parking garage, which is the three levels. Starting in the southwest corner, that quarter of that garage will be quarantined off and they'll start construction there approximately May 15th, depending on how long it takes to clear cars. And it progresses. We have a plan, a six-month plan, move from one position to another for six months to finish the sale. And then from there, we do the same thing on the north portion, which is the five levels and quadrant that off because, you know, a section at a time. And that'll be an eight-month process. So we're looking at, you know, 14 months from now. It's complicated. You have to wait for people who leave the spot. And then if we still stop new people from parking. Right. Then if we have a rush, you know, we have to make adjustments. It'll probably take more than 14 months. So that's going on. The goal is to start on May 15th now. We've got a schedule plan. You're welcome to come and look at it. The other thing we've done also, we updated our assessment of the parking drive with structural engineers, since it hadn't been done since prior to the pandemic, and we kind of had to put it on hold. So that just was received yesterday. I haven't gone through it thoroughly, but it reassessed everything where we were with everything structurally and all the things we wanted to do out there. And that's done. We're going to get a presentation from the engine next week on that. In the meantime, we're also going to rebit the expansion joint project that was put on hold for the pandemic. And then also the stairwells will be done and done. So assessment and be not reevaluating, but looking at make sure our plan is consistent with where we started before the pandemic. So that's been done. I haven't thoroughly reviewed it yet, but we'll be by the end of next week. We'll be all updated on that. So that's it on the parking drive. The other updates to what I already updated is the Texanway Alpha millen overlay. I said the construction was going to start on June 5th. That's moved to June 15th because we're doing the passenger boarding bridge at 8.9. And there's a little bit of a conflict. So we don't want to disturb the airlines too badly. So we're moving that back a little bit. It's the same contractor. So that's a little different. The residential sound insulation program wanted to update you on that. We did receive bids. Bids came in less than $100,000 on average per home. So we did drive down the cost. We had more bidders. And for not 54 homes, but 53 because one backed out at the last minute. So we did receive the bids and we did submit a grant application for the construction of those improvements, plus the engineering outreach and everything else for the next 50 that we'll apply for a grant due to the construction next year. I just want to add Larry, the outreach that Larry and his team had performed just to get a contractor encouraged a bit on this, which is why we're receiving multiple bids. And I'm going to say why we're receiving bids less than $100,000 per house originally we're projecting years ago. Right, right. So yeah, a lot. Yeah. So it's normal, but the price is coming down. Larry hosted a contractor workshop ahead of the bids. He invited a bunch of the contractors and subcontractors just to be more familiar, more comfortable with what was actually happening. This is a pretty, this is a highly unique project for the area, especially working with over 50 individual homeowner in one year with unique circumstances, unique buildouts and requirements. So that's a huge part of how this all unfolded and how we're able to hopefully get a grant supported by the FAA for this whole 50 warehouses. So we're able to move the ask from the verification of intent with the FAA of 7.8 million down to about 6.3 million this year, which is, they were playing 7.8, we're at 6.3 that opens up some money for other things for the region. So that was a good thing. I sent the jet bridge or pass the boarding bridge at gate 12. I'm sorry I got cheated at the gate nine now. It was going to start in a couple of weeks. It started yesterday, you can look out there, they're marking it, they're going to start putting the foundation and the jet bridges, do you hear one day of the next week or two? It'll be operational by July 4th weekend is the goal. Junta. Yeah, the jet bridge will be here. It's in Utah. Okay, the south apron, that's down near the data assembly facility and taxiway g extension. We just met with the contractor. We're coming up with a schedule to start on that, hopefully in the next 60 days. That's an update for my update. The north terminal replacement project. So that was the roughly dark spending that we received for Mr. Leahy left office. And we are now at 30% close to 30% design. We should receive those plans by tomorrow at which time we've requested from the FAA the ability to hire a construction manager at risk rather than do a typical design, then wait to see what you get for pricing. So we're going to do an RFQ for construction management risk at risk, which will cut down some of the engineering costs, but it'll cost us more from the contractor to help us through the costing and then actually when they did these projects rather than just, you know, they'll be going out to hundreds of different subcontractors to get the project done. And we'll know what the price is without waiting to two o'clock on a certain day and start opening and reading. So that's the goal. So that's where we are with that. We're waiting for FAA to approve that and we'll go out for an RFQ and hopefully within 30, 45 days we have them on the project and then we can move it forward from there. Eric talked about the residential town isolation program the last two weeks down and in the applications, you know, we received the bids last weekend, the application was submitted on Monday for that grant application on paper. That's an update. Any, I'll answer any other questions if I listen to them or from any about second. You mentioned anything for that. Very obviously there's some demolition that's involved in some of these projects like the one that just mentioned with the North Terminal and such. These originally were built in the late 70s out of these projects. Well, not the North Concourse that the existing one out what's that called? The real focus of my question is what happens when you demolish something and there seems to be asbestos or some sort of hazardous material? So part of the design is the abatement study to ensure what we know what we're going to be getting into for material before we tear it down. That's part of the scope here. That'll be done and then part of Act 250 there's a requirement in the permitting process to show how we're going to reset our recycling plant and how we're going to take those materials and either reuse, recycle or disclose them, you know. So all that comes into play. It will be thoroughly evaluated. We'll know what we have before we start touching anything. So it's not like Berlin from high school where we need to build a new airport. Okay. Nice. We are building a new airport. That's right. Very appropriate. Yeah. So no, that's reviewed very thoroughly. And you're keeping the observation power? We are going to have a new one. So we'll keep the, okay. Right now, well, depending on how much it costs, that will be the first thing that comes out if we can afford it. Okay. We'll be a third floor on the North Terminal where we'll have observation, meeting rooms and our administrative offices. So, but to be honest, if the cost comes in more, that's the first thing that goes away. Yeah. So the existing observation tower remains. Yeah. That's open now to passengers that have tickets. The new space that Larry's referred to. Right now, we need to design a permanent location for the administration offices. We're right in the middle of the terminal building and especially in the connection of the two wings of the airport. So the design process is looking at a public amenity and a administration office that is open to the public. Right now we're behind the security door. And I really would like to see our offices available to the public to enter. And that's what that third floor possibility is. And part of this project is to remove everything along the windows along that side. So people are walking down that funky hallway. They're walking by the window seeing the planes of the mountains till they get to the North. So, but our office is sitting right in the middle of that right now. So, yeah. My hope it is over the next month as we go through the approval process with the FAA is to come to you with a presentation of this 30% design. So you can see the basis of that as we go out to bid for our construction manager at risk contractor. Because once they're in play, they're going to be helping the full design unfold so that hopefully we can be shoveling the ground so that next year. Demolition is also being part of that conversation because of the phasing of this project and the impacts to the airlines. So we're already meeting with the airlines on what is happening next as we develop this project. But I would say even if these numbers come in, we truly need to look at an option to build out our new administration offices up there because we can't take up the crime real estate specific to a passenger. That's a high priority to revoke that up. Those office space, we get a public basic and add an amenity for similar to this mezzanine area for revenue, small revenue sources for the airport, renting out rooftop areas, bar areas up there, those types of things connected to an administration office area. It's extremely exciting. We just had that presentation today. We're engineering firms. We've had weddings up here not tonight, tomorrow night. Hannah is working with the South Burlington Business Association. They're hosting their annual meeting up here. We hosted the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce board meetings up here. We've had department head meetings up on them as a need. None of those are revenue producing. The hope is if you have a nice quality, whether it's conference room space or public amenity, there's some real demand and interest for that type of space. I get what you hear. I get it. We didn't have to hang around for the reception. We're going to get on our plane, will you? You said it was such a destination reception like that. Thank you, Zanny Ospreler. Item seven is the financial update from Marie. You have a financial update. I did somehow manage to cut off the financial, the P&L, profit and loss statement when it went and got put on board dock. Hannah did add the financial piece this afternoon. I will give, I've shared a little bit of this already with her. We have some good things that are happening here. We're in a good place. Our revenues, one great place that I want to start is highlighting some of our bigger revenues, which we do on the recovery metrics. I want to point out that all of our revenues are above what they were prior to COVID, with the exception of the PFCs. We are at 92% for the PFCs, which makes sense because we're getting closer and closer to getting to our full employment. You know, those have been coming up and even from the start of this fiscal year, where they were a little bit, they were still in the 80th percent, and now we're seeing in the 90%. But that's an average for this year for our PFCs. But you can see our parking. I want to highlight, we will, this year we will have our highest revenue ever with the parking garage. And we're, I had the highest month I've ever seen for the month of April, and the month of March was even higher. So we are definitely hitting some new records and turps. And we've seen it on the management side of it, and just as far as the capacity in the garage and what we've seen. Something has changed with people are preferring the park in the garage. So even though we just have more people who are utilizing it, the demand has changed, the preferences change. But we're seeing it a similar with our car concession revenues, ours are 125% of what they were prior to COVID. Our landing fees are over 100% again. So these are all things that are helping us, helping us succeed here at the airport. And we'll be able to continue to work with our airline partners who are primary reason why we're here to keep those rates somewhat level and keep those rates good. So that's kind of a highlight with the revenues. I wanted to point that out. Our expenses, we are spending more money this year than we do last year. A lot of that is there are plans. These are plans, things that we had anticipated and budgeted for. And it is working out well because our revenues, we have our revenues are higher, but we've also been able to continue this year. A few months ago, we did utilize some of our drawdown that we still have this stimulus money that is available. Right now we've got over $4 million of total stimulus money that is still available for us to use. We will continue to use that. We may use a little bit toward the end of the year. We're still determining that. And then we're planning on using it all up throughout next year. So that is our, we're able to use it on things like salaries are very specific things we can use that stimulus money on. So we'll continue to do that. And it helps us to, helps our overall ability to be, get lots of good things done or cut up and other things that we're doing here at the airport because it helps to balance out our total input and our total monies coming in. Cash was, again, is we're doing consistently well. We had about $6.5 million in the airport checking account. It's a healthy place that I'd like to see because it helps us manage. We are starting to have construction bills and other things starting to come in. And so our cash goes up and down as we wait for reimbursements. And then on our AIP receivable, a lot of that is due from AIP 118, which we are awaiting a secondary, we're going to get an amendment from the FAA when they have money available. And we'll be able to draw that back down from the FAA and AIP 125 and then sort of spread out among the different AIPs. But that is the highlight of my report. I will entertain any questions that folks may have. In general, who sets the landing piece? The FAA? We do. We do. Yep. So as we negotiate with our signatory airline partners, there was an actually signed airline lease. We threw any methodology that is set as part of the contract. We're currently negotiating that contract right now to adjust the landing piece. That is also the same methodology that we use for terminal square footage rates. How much expenses do we need out there? How much do we need to recover? It's essentially not. And then that goes across. If there's airlines that don't sign on to that, they're non-signatory. There's a 25% surcharge on top of the landing piece. But we set those rates. How long do we change them? We haven't changed them in five years, six years. This year, they will probably change. Now on a terminal rate, again, we're still negotiating this. It won't go too much into the detail. But on a terminal rate, you're going to see the rate probably decrease because we've added 30,000 square feet. So the revenue is going to increase, but the rate itself is going to decrease. We're just spreading that rate across more square footage. Right. And then your commercial landing piece are based on aircraft weight for a number of passengers? No, maximum gross landing weight. And we charge per 1,000 pounds. And right now, it's $2.44. That's inclusive of a landing fee, as well as a terminal and even fee, which we also charge by them. And same with the FNX, they get charged that same landing. Now, smaller aircraft and heritage manages that through our FBO agreement with them. So there's other classifications, less than 6,000 pounds, that sort of thing. Is landing fees a big consideration for an airline? And whether or not they fly here? Big, huge. Terminal is probably a little bit more, I would say. We always spend more time on the terminal rental rates because there's a lot of square footage that's either preferential, square footage, common use, square footage that they use and split, which does tend to be split based on the number of passengers, as well as exclusive use of the airline ticket counters themselves. So, but all of that goes into play with that. I think we're highly competitive and probably on the lower end of a square footage rate in the landing fee, but not at all. I think we're very competitive. And it depends on which airline you ask to. If you have a legacy carrier, they might be okay with some of these rates versus almost for an ultra low cost or low cost carrier who says, you charge you this. So it depends on what you have. I say that first. All right, Chris. Thank you, Dr. Maureen. Thank you. Can I have one more question? I think it's important to your question. We have an incentive program as well. We do not charge the first two years of operation for any new airline or new route coming to this airport. We don't supplement that either with other airlines that are already here, meaning if we're not charging again, we're not going to ask another airline to pick up that whole. We strictly do not charge to encourage that growth of new air carriers. And that's a highly, you know, a magnified is on those types of programs, both from incumbent airlines in the FAA to make sure that it's fair process. All right. So we're on to item eight, which is noise data. Yeah. So not much to report today, except we just had 40 additional comments since last time I reported. Also, just to reiterate, we have added the heat map, as we're calling it, for the counts by addresses. It kind of shows the trajectory of the flight path over our runway. So you can get a better understanding of where those comments are coming from. Geographically. And mentioned this last time as well, but I'll just mention again, we've added an updated map related to the residential sound isolation program, showing the houses as they relate to the different phases. So the pilot program, the group one for summer, the summer and then next summer. So any updates we had to that map, we've been including it on the agenda, but we're going to include it on btvsound.com, which I'll keep under the noise agenda. Like, oh, I think it's out there. Yeah. So if you, we can also update in the package, but I think it's just easiest for people to see the updates on the website. No, I think it's great. It's great for the public. Yep, great work that we're doing. Yeah. Yes, go ahead, Brad. Yeah, I, maybe I'm not following on the linked map, how you're differentiating which homes are, have already had the installation completed. Are you talking about the sound installation program map on btvsound.com? Oh, so it's not linked to the agenda item? Sorry, the one linked to the agenda item is related to the noise comments, her address. So the ones related to the houses for that sound installation program is on btvsound.com. Okay, great. Thank you. And Bryn, we'll keep updating that as well. I think it's got the latest multiple colors, the 54 new additional houses. So we'll keep, like Hanna said, we'll keep updating that. So that wears schedule map and changes as we go on. Okay, keep it simple. There are 16 that are going to construction this summer. There are 53, we just applied for the money to move forward as soon as possible, which depending on whether we'll be there late this year or early next year. And we just, part of this grant is to get the money to establish the next 50 homes, which will come up, pop up on the next. Great. Yeah, I saw that in your earlier update that summary. So thanks for tying that back for me. All righty. Thank you, Hanna. Item nine, director. Excellent. I thought I would start by giving you a dual update on reorganization, both from the, from the airport staff and perspective and reorganization and rebranding and welcoming everybody now officially to the Patrick Leigh E. Burlington International Airport, which was passed just this past Monday night at the city council. We have some work to do. So at that meeting on Monday, that authorized me and the team to move forward with FAA notifications. Dave has a tremendous amount of work on his shoulders for documentation updates, everything from our airport emergency plan to our security plan, and airport certification manual. And so there's a lot of paperwork involved in the name change. But more exciting, there's also a rebranding opportunity and a logo change opportunity. And I had solicited requests for qualifications for a consultant to help us look at our grant and incorporate the new name into our brand with a schedule, a budget, and an implementation program to roll out this new name, getting it into our branding profile, everything from social to Merkel's to every marketing thing that Anna works on. And then an unveiling, most likely later this summer, what that logo looks like, inclusive of the physical assets signage all the way down to Blair. So it's an exciting opportunity for us to change this and we're kicking it off right now and hoping to unveil that later this summer, which will invite all the commissioners to us as we do that. Thank you again for your approval and recommendation for the reorganization that also passed a few weeks ago at the city council meeting unanimously, which is incredible news and really encourage not just the leadership team, but also all the airport staff. So the reorganization is fully in place right now. And based on the phasing that I requested, we're now advertising some of the key positions, including the deputy director position, the director of innovation and marketing, the associate director of the associate engineer position, an airport maintenance position that would report to Dave. Dave's new role has shifted. Well, Cooper Reed was now our official director of finance, Larry's title has also changed to the director of planning, engineering and sustainability. So we have a lot of things in motion with the reorganization. We're getting a lot of great feedback, I believe it's the second week that we posted these, a lot of great feedback on all of the positions, feedback meeting applications, which is really great. We're advertising, especially these leadership positions nationwide through both the airport industry websites as well as other job notification websites. So we're going to be looking at interviews sitting probably two or three weeks going through that process of hiring, mostly two new leadership positions and a new role as well. And then we'll roll out addition, sorry, two new manager positions are posted as well under Dave's role. I really wanted to see deputy director come in to play first before hosting other manager positions because they're going to be reporting to the deputy director. That will also alleviate some of the pressures that really the whole team has on them right now with multiple hats and multiple departments of the airport that they're managing, like Larry, Dave, Chloe. So it's going really good. Of course, we have some work ahead of us and hiring. We want to grow our team as this all unfolds, but really, really promising. Parking updates, I think we talked a little bit about that before. I think I covered most of it in our prior conversation. The big news I think is the kickoff of our new lighting and the fire alarm system in the garage. Long process, it's that we're going into our building season, but we're going to have to strategize exactly what closes, what opens, and how we work with it. The contractor is phenomenal, which is MBI, super accommodating. For example, they wanted to start last week. We said, absolutely not. We're going to be full up. So they weren't able to do that, but they're already mobilized. Like Larry said, outside ready to go. Breaking improvements to the experience of the parking garage, especially with the lighting. I already mentioned the signage plan is going to be implemented. One way to access is also going to be implemented. We're starting to incorporate some of the hotel designs into that parking system as well. But we're also looking at expanding, especially in our service, lots of additional access control systems so we can better account for in and out of those parking areas. So that when we do have overflow, it's not as much labor intensive operations. We can send passengers there almost immediately with no repercussion for the labor standard. That's going to happen this summer. We really need that to be implemented this summer. And although the schedule is really strong, airline schedule is really strong for this summer. It's those peak holiday demands, especially when we're not having as many passengers coming inbound and leaving the parking garage as we are coming outbound to the airport. So really positive changes, long-term changes in preparation for that. We haven't started yet and we're going to have the conversation most likely in the next couple months, but also analyzing our parking rate structure. Is that the appropriate structure? Is that why we have so many partners coming in? Which is great if our rate is really low. I don't think it is, but a full analysis of that parking rate structure needs to happen. And that rate hasn't changed since I was over 10 years. Constructing. Larry had done a ton of this already, but we're going into a busy season and we have a lot of construction. We have a lot of partners that play Bay to Heritage, the airlines, Taxiway, Alpo, which is our primary taxiway adjacent to the terminal building. This taxiway right here, just outside of the terminal building, that's going to be under construction. You can see the proximity to our terminal building, which is going to require very careful planning efforts, busy efforts, so that we can go down those pieces of the case. Dave and Larry have done a great job coordinating that with the airlines to make sure there's a little impact as possible to the average aving plan. South apron, again Larry already mentioned this, but this is the very southern end of our airport where the old quarry used to be. A major, massive new apron space is already designed a bit and the contractor is what we're going to be ready to mobilize in the next 60 days or so, so that we can really convince that new apron space, which would also accommodate our new tenant down there, which is data technology. Not as much, not as intrusive of a construction project for us, but still a great deal of collaboration, especially from a security standpoint, because our airfield is technically grown with new fence lines. The North renovation project, if you haven't seen the renovations up on the North set, more than happy to show anybody, it's a totally different car horse up there. My creator's base is additional seating locations. We have new, we're actually getting with people by then, we have new seating, hopefully going to be arriving the next month or two. The bathrooms are still being expanded out there, just growing that space for our two primary airlines, American and United, taking about 60 to 65 percent of our total passengers, just from that one. So great, great improvements up there. Also working with Hudson News, they're in a temporary location, they're no longer in their original location, and they've sent me a letter recently that they'd like to invest a significant amount of funding into the airport, close to three quarters of the billion dollars, to stay here a little bit longer in both their footprint, their shop size of what they're going to do, the North Concourse home, which is really, really great. So I'll be bringing that to you in future, future meetings as we go through some of the negotiation up there. If we're here to talk about the next project in Civic Clerk, Hannah's going to take that one. So just to give you all an update, before the end of the month, we're going to be switching from the board docs program where all the agenda items are found, it's usually called Civic Clerk. So for the appropriate parties, I'll send you more information about that, but we'll be sending that out to, you know, on the regular channels and the groups, the warned meeting group, what we typically post, but wanted to just give an update here so that everyone knows that we'll be finding the agenda in a separate place from next meeting forward. So this was our intro to the Civic Clerk? Yeah. So right when we were comfortable with the board docs, the great part about it, everything in board docs, all of this information is being merged over to Civic Clerk. So members of the public can access meeting minutes, agendas, conversation, or ran conversation documents on the Civic Clerk site itself. We're going to be one of the first departments in the city of Burlington who switch over to this. So we're going to test it out and work with a couple of other departments as we roll into this. Eventually, the entire city of Burlington will be on Civic Clerk. That's my take for you today. Commissioners, Brenda, I see you have some chats. Is there anything you want to bring up with Nick at this point in the agenda? Some of the things I mentioned were related to earlier conversations with the consent agenda. I just dropped in a link for an example of Dallas Fort Worth and how they use lighting to help with indicators for available parking spaces. I actually saw something similar in action at a city parking garage in Fort Worth and thought it was pretty cool. So by way of other capital improvements, I'm sure you want to put on your list. And then I was just looking at the noise exposure map webpages. And I noticed Item 21 and the construction updates that there's some movement on that and just wanted to make sure that the BTV sound webpages would be updated that progresses forward. So just those two items. Perfect. Absolutely. I think that's a great comment, especially with the noise exposure map, making sure that the website reflects our current project. We do not yet have a grant for our noise exposure map update yet. But that's going to start a whole process this year. We do have the grant. And we have the contract. It's just we're waiting on the noise consultant to get back to us. Which is Jones. We're progressing. Yeah, that was a different one. So noise map, we do have a grant, but we haven't started the project yet. So as we go through this, we're just going to be similar to what you see here, which was part of the 2019 updates. We'll start updating those for sure. Awesome. Looking forward to it. Thank you. And that comes with many public meetings and conversations about that as well. Thank you. Commissioner, is there anything else for Nick? One question about your hiring. Are you getting much response from existing employees who want to move up? We are. Yeah, I think we've seen definitely, you know, maybe less than a handful, half a handful of existing employees, but also outside airport requirements of the city of Burlington that want to transition. So that's really great. In nationwide applicants, California to Oregon and all places that work, which is good. That's a good sign that our notification is getting out there. Anything else for Nick? Hey, Tim, can you hear me? Yes, go ahead, Jen. Yeah, I just, I wanted to say this earlier and I had a barking dog and I have a barking dog again, but hopefully you can still hear me. I just wanted to just add to what was said before about the reappointment letter and just congratulate you and the team on amazing job that you're doing. And I'm really proud to sign that. It's a good point as well, because you're doing an awesome job. So I just wanted to be on the same. Thank you very much. All right, we'll wrap up item 9 and move on to item 10, commissioner items. I didn't have anything in advance, but is that anything? Is anyone talking about commission items that they'd like to discuss at this time? Yeah, so that's it. Still kind of new that our full commissioner thing and the airport operations. And I know this is a big part of the airport, but I'd like to talk a little bit about their general aviation situation. So I've got a couple of inputs from constituents going, what's going on? How can I can't get a hangar? How can I get a tie down? It was very graceful and drove me around today. And there aren't a whole lot of options right now. I don't know a whole lot of turnovers I understand. I don't tend to know all the details on how you lease space to the heritage and how they turn decided to rent hangar space. But I was wondering if there's room for any discussion on part of your master plan going forward for integrating more GA and your entire space? Yeah, absolutely. Well, yes, absolutely. There are definitely intentions to accommodate really the demand. And it's Burlington area and beyond. It's really the demand of the state that requires additional GA opportunities, whether it's tie down space or more preferable, especially in the Northeast indoor space. Incredibly expensive. So it's very hard for the airport to sponsor a development project like that without recovering those assets. And I imagine it could be similar situations for private development to whether existing companies on the field. However, we've set out, we've already met with a great group of GA developers and pilots and everywhere from small aircraft owners to corporate business sized aircraft to potentially look at future spaces to build a hangar. That's going to require an RFP to go out of the available land that we have currently today. We're one of Larry's maintenance construction updates is also our maintenance building relocation, which would also open opportunities for growth in our existing space, whether it's general aviation, additional fuel opportunities or supportive equipment, just general open space. So that our maintenance shop isn't in the realm of the general aviation program that we have today. Can it get it out of there, get it really up to our part of the West quarter. Also being sensitive to the issues that were raised last year with our community partners in South Burlington, we did request a rezoning on a large parcel of land that was denied at the planning commission level. And the purpose and intent of that was to add additional spaces for general aviation. We're looking at that a little bit differently, looking at other opportunities that are not as impactful to the community, but still accomplishes adding hangar space to some of the available lands that we have. And again, that would go out to be mostly this summer, if we're able to move things around and make sure all the lines with some of the other public outreach that we're doing on landscaping and working with the city of South Burlington on their city plan and also working with our master plan to make sure it all aligned. So long answer to your question and comment, but it's absolutely at the forefront of the conversation. I've heard it many times. I think we're highly competitive in the space, highly competitive in the hangar rentals. Heritage has been doing a great job with their communication to us on renting and rolling those spaces over as quickly as possible and utilizing space that is right now occupied by an airworthy aircraft and making sure that we think that's a really, really important piece. Also adding the new South Apron, which gives us ability to tie down space and utilizing existing apron, which has been vacant for over 10 years, we have 18 plus spaces of tie down that have not been used. So there is available space for aircraft owners exterior. There's no hangars, but harder that RFP process will most likely include building opportunities for the adaptation of growth. So where is this South Apron you're talking about? So the South Apron is being built right here. So this is taxiway golf. We're not parallel to our apron, but the South Apron sees the fill out on the taxiway there, the extension, that will continue to be extended to the taxiway at all and then the new apron will stand right here. So will Beta be controlling this? Beta will be proportional to that apron, but another large portion, similar in size to this apron right here, will be available to any generator in each area. No different than we wouldn't, we wouldn't sort of allow anybody to park a hangar anywhere. And then this is the other vacant space. So this apron was built before May 2, doesn't where we've had three, a long time ago. This was an old large plant that was built in in the new apron and it's quite some time. You can see we tend to store our solar equipment on there because it doesn't get utilized. However, Beta, that's one of the spaces that Beta leases today. They don't lease the apron space on this, but they lease the brass for additional hangar space and they're still a good portion. So I don't know what the economics of tie-downs is. There's no state mandate that you provide a certain amount of GA tie-downs, right? City of Burlington doesn't care. They just want you to be fiscally responsible. That's right. How quickly would heritage or you be able to gin up that tie-down space to get people wanted? Quickly to do well with it. To start running it out. Right. We've gotten an hiking airport, for example, is closed right now. So we're getting a lot of requests to park aircraft here because of their temporary culture for the construction. They used to have a couple of jumpers in another airport that has that fluctuation of what's happening, especially in winter time, because it's a brass field. So they'll attack the park here. It's available to the public. If anybody lands at this airport today, it's the full behavior. Park your aircraft right there and we'll follow up and pay a day rate on that particular area. We're not in the business of managing a one-and-a-half day-to-day type of operation. We haven't talked to Heritage because they are our FBO on the field to manage that. We're not there yet. We're in agreement with Heritage. Those are the disorders that things happen. That's outside of our realm of operation to manage daily. And again, origins of the airfield are eventually going out, especially in the northwest area for the available building on the two-piece. If there's anything that goes out of them, we're going to do it. So if somebody asks me, hey, you need to get more tie-down stays at Burlington. I don't know if anybody wants hangers. But right now, the answer could be actually, there is tie-down stays. Might have to pay for it by the day. And you go to Heritage. We're working on that part. The battling still became directly to us. But Heritage also has opportunities as well. So that and then is there a separate community of stakeholders that are having regular meetings trying to figure out how to come together to get the finances to build a GA hangers? There it is. I wouldn't say a number of years. I would say maybe eight a year. We, and it's across the board, right? Some folks want an individual hangers. We want an accessible one, so that's all right. Some folks have proposed a larger building, maybe a three or four-year location. We've had one person that had proposed a 25-year location, which they backed out once they realized that the finances don't work on Mexican individual hangers. So there's been a lot of opportunities, I think our obligation that they get to work if there clearly is the demand for this is to say, here's some opportunities to build those hangers. Here's the locations to throw those out. And that's what we want to publish this summer. Is it okay to hand out the contact information for that group? Sure. Can you hand it to you? So somebody asked me, you know, I'm really interested in the hangers and we're open. You go, well, here's the group that's meeting. You might have to phony up a bunch of money. That's right. We're hosting right now about the corporate elite meetings with those groups. To tell you those updates, we've got a lot to do. Is that all right? Yeah, of course. And I told the group the same thing as, you know, it's working out a lot at times too. So as that group comes in here, by the others to see, not just about hangers-based, but just general conversation about, because probably not here before, the ways during the summer months, during those construction periods, we'll introduce that in our advocate. So the whole team is there to answer those same questions too. We've got a lot of times that the PA, the community might not know about that, because they're hobby fliers or core fliers every now and then each. So overall, the Broomed Airport is not going to build a GA hangar? We're not going to build a GA hangar. We're going to lease the space for somebody else to come in and build it. That's great. That's great. Thank you. Have we just thought a bit for another hangar over there? Because that's the same area. So we're going through that process of building an additional GA object. That's a longer conversation. Good. Sal, April, Nick, is there going to be an opportunity for buildings? Or is that too close to that? After they've said there's going to be a fairly open section down there? Is that it's a tricky area? There is approach services or flight paths protected by airspace over in that area. So we're going to have to be really strategic on how we do that. Anything on that side? But we are looking at is there any possibility for growth even beyond that space? And again, this is our maintenance shop right here. This picture shows a little bit of old. We have a new taxiway right here to the end of runway 1. We're looking at this lighting. We are designing a new car building right here to expand cargo opportunities at the airport. And is there another opportunity or another space for after a week, we're going to pay for different types of space as well. Thank you very much for that. I have another question related to maintenance. You were talking about having your plan or budgeting for ongoing maintenance issues. This was curious because last Sunday, I think, the glide slope on the ILS approach into the border went down. It's not good. Not good. It's a bad weather day. It caused major problems. We're not a major hub airport. But whether the requirements are adding backup parts, people to install those parts when you lose your ILS or... So all of the navigational ways are glide slope. Those are all managed, fixed by the federal integration. So we don't touch any of that. We don't have any personality. It's on that everything from the ILS lighting systems to the glide slope to the radar itself. That's all FAA tech ops. The great part is FAA tech ops for the region is located right here underneath the tower. So they have those parts. I can't speak specifically to what they have, but they have the staff station right here underneath the tower in the chair of the same building. It's not part of your... It's not part of us at all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty great. And while we do coordinate directly, so Dave and his team, as they do multiple daily inspections out there, they also look at the runway lighting systems. The ones that we have, which are the edge lighting and things like that, we have backup parts for all of that. But when they find a light out on the approach lighting on both ends, they report that directly to tech ops so that we can get somebody out right away. Because there are specific requirements if a certain number of lights are out and then there's pieces that need to shut down. All right, future banding. All right, move on to item 11, which is follow-up items. Let me know one key requirements for taxing. Nothing further to present on that. I think I mentioned at the last meeting that I participated in a taxi vehicle for a higher board meeting, not a taxi vehicle for a higher board meeting. If you're looking at some requests and updates, not just to the quality of our interactions with the public, quality of the vehicles, and the cleanliness of the vehicles that are stationed for the taxi community, but also the availability of taxis, specifically after a certain period of time at night, when sometimes, especially after midnight, it might not be a taxi out there. And there's a lot of folks that need that. So we're working with them. We're also going to be working with some of our other airport partners to see what their programs are that can help with that. Q permits specifically was at my request to increase the number of Q permits that we can sell. Right now, I think we're at 40, less than 50 Q permits out there. So adding additional Q permit opportunities. I did present that to the vehicle for a higher board. There is a member of the taxi community on that board. They were a little leery of just doing that without kind of long-term solution. So we're working through that before we arbitrarily set. So we'll keep that on for another time. And then 1102, briefing on the North Terminal Building. And this is hopefully in the next 30 days, I can bring back the general concept of the new North Terminal Building inclusive of financial plan, which I think Jeff Schoeman asked about that. So I'm hoping to do that. Can we choose anything else that should go on to this follow-up on this list that we've discussed today that we put in the follow-up? Okay, that concludes item 11. Item 12 is adjournment. Do we hear a motion to adjourn? For adjourn. All right, I'm going to switch it up a little bit. Steven is in motion. And we are adjourned. Thank you.
