 And commissioners attending remotely, if you can please acknowledge yourselves. Hi, this is Corinne from Wienewski. Jeff Shulman, Burlington. For some reason it says I can't put my video on, but maybe that's changed. Yep, changed. Got it. Thanks. Chip Mason. Thanks. All right. So the first item on the agenda is the agenda. Don't hear a motion to approve the agenda at the post. That's moved by an element. Is there a second? Sorry. All right. Any depression or post changes to the agenda? All right. Hearing none, I'm almost in favor of this. You can provide by saying aye. Aye. Any of those? Any abstentions? Yeah, I'm going to add that. Item three is public form. I do not see anyone from the public. So we'll put it down. Item three, move on to item four, which is the consent agenda. Do you hear a motion to approve the contents of the consent agenda as presented? So no, it's moved by an element. There's a second. So I have a second. My brain discussion to be led by Nick. Super exciting to share this one for you today. This is the first time since COVID that we passed our pre-COVID numbers. So that's October. Compared to employment compared to all the amounts that you see on this report. You know, you take a quick scroll on page two, and you'll quickly see that since 2014, 68,776 outbound passengers is the highest event. Really great news. November, December, we're looking at right now similar numbers. We don't have our final hours to November numbers for you yet. Similar numbers to last year. So managing expectations probably not going to hit what we did in October. And then December, because of some of the announcements, which at blue and Delta, that my shift a little bit towards similar numbers to last year compared to pandemic numbers. However, the news that Delta has announced starting January, that they're going to increase their flights to a war yet in a jet. We'll talk to you a little bit more about the jet blue without Jeff and I. We're going to visit Jeff Blue last week, I think. Yeah. So last week. So we'll talk to you about that a little bit later on in the agenda. But with our projections with Delta increasing back those flights. And of course, we're starting at the end of January and February, the two new routes. We're looking at a pretty healthy project for fiscal year. And certainly our year is going through. We're either Delta was Delta thinking about or considering some Berlin into some other places rather than to avoid New York. I get it. But that's pretty busy. But Delta or blue or both. Well, both of them. Yeah. That was definitely important. We talked to Jeff Blue about where we always talk to the big airlines in there. We're about alternate routes, specifically knowing that they're very ready out with or at least some buoyancy with the New York market that the FAA is granting, meaning the FAA allows airlines to reduce their number of flights without penalties and without using the slots to those airports. And the whole reason for that is because there's congestion and there's not a fair traffic control, which right now in that market. So we continuously asked for additional flights. We did ask Jeff, you would consider it. I may have said I'm cheap and comfortable in my self to the table. But I, there's, there's opportunities. Jeff was a very different conversation because of many different factors. Similar to what we talked about at the last airport commission, but Delta has a whole different pocket. We're getting on the road. Starting in January, we're listing all of our carriers as we do a couple of times a year. Delta's been one of them. And new destinations as well as larger air traffic or additional flights to existing destinations is certainly on the conversation agenda. Delta into the New York market for starting in January and starting in March to a plan. Right now they fly the Boeing 717, which is about 110 seats on that plan. They're going to be bringing in an A320 which is going to go to 160 seats. So they're paying attention to the girl take really, really well. Is it really just the air traffic controller numbers? Or is it, I mean, we flew in from, we were at West Thanksgiving and went through New York. And it was a terrible rainstorm. And of course it's not a plane. And as we go, well, the rainstorm. Stopped the lights or turned off all the lights in this part of the terminal. We were already on the plane. But for quite a while, no one was getting on the planes. There were no lights. The winds and the rain did something to the electricity. But they also, they had it to let everyone down on. The pilot said, well, they've had, they've rerouted us to take off in the opposite direction. So we're at a queue of 50 planes. Because, you know, they were all supposed to take off in this direction. And I guess the storm whipped the wind. So that's that. I mean, that's a lot. Yeah. So is it, so I decided that I was talking about just air traffic control. It's going to be just too busy. You know, you're in the middle of planes. 100% right. It's, it's again, which I believe is, it's a couple of different factors. But for the New York market, that's exactly what it is. Air traffic control is a part of this congestion. Air traffic is increasing October nationwide. Also, you have a number of passengers flying out in November. Yeah. And then it's giving week as well. So it's, it's a, it's a rule of things specific to your city, including LaGuardia, we're seeing a big part of that impact not just where we're going to be anxious to venture here because one of our proximity to New York, but two, the revenue produced out of small airports, small planning, it's not as much as let's say coming from Denver or something like that. But the past, we've got to say, so it's business, it's got to go on. The good part for us is we have a good sense. There are the numbers that that support your community or you have for just what's really important. But this continued sustainability of a new market is always and has been always in our head. And that's what we're pushing to the airlines, granted the things that we can't control like air traffic, it's always been this. We've had a lot of conversations over the congressional delegation. One is to support the ABA reorganization, which is expiring on December 31st. Our colleague Paul Bradbury is the director at Portland Maine. He was in front of the congressional summit committee on this for various subjects, talking in favor of all airports, of course, passing the reorganization, but also air traffic control training and budget and most census scenarios. Again, Jeff Lewis has different conversations with other levels that we should talk about. But overall, it's congestion, it's basically in New York, which as we just had that conversation, it is by air traffic, sure. Okay, thank you. All right, can I just have any other questions for them or any other comments on the contents that we can set together? All right, so none of those in favor of jumping for the sentence as opposed, we second by this hang on. Aye. Opposed? Any abstentions? We are here today, if you find an item five, which is our item action item section and item five point one is that first, we have a budget neutral attendance. So do we have your motion to recommend the right one? Yes. Do I have a motion to recommend to this? To the city council of the Board of Finance, you can go on a budget neutral event to increase federal grant revenue, state grant revenue to get the transfer proceeds to increase capital expenditures as outlined in the bevels in the package. That's what you're referring to. We're going to have to take turns. No, we don't. Okay, I move that. So it's me, John, Allen. Hi, sir. And great. Well, second. Hey. Nick, do you want to take that? Sure. I'll hand it up to Larry pertaining to the construction, but this is merely a bacer of timing. Construction did start as quickly as we were hopeful for. The majority of this was budgeted and passed this school year's budget. Again, that was started then. So the shift into FY20 to occur, which is why you see the high number that you see in a budget amendment. You also see that 90% of it is the federal grant revenue, which is part of that budget amendment, working on this state grant revenue. As a reminder, we do receive right now half a million dollars a year from the state. So a big part of that is how to get it towards this and that inter-fund transfer proceeds or that local share that we've talked about in the past, that local shares are also PFC bills. Also, that will go into an alternate federal program for that 130,000 dollars to be reimbursed back to the airport. So again, it's just a matter of time. I don't know if you want to add it to that. Okay, sorry. Okay, Tommy, it was just a big issue because when we had, you know, whether the most, it's probably going to be Friday school, during the most faith that we've had here, and it was only impacted by another project, even that range of whether you're starting to do things. So it's just a matter of timing and all the aspects of getting back to the people in the project, which requires us to push it back a little bit. And also because of the time frame, if this project is done, we didn't want whether it was spring to harvest or fall because it would impact your own. And he is not knowing when this is, when he's talking about complexity of the phasing of this project, this is tax away alpha, which is the tax away that you see when you look at those of the terminal, the closest pavement. So between Dave and his operations team and Larry, that the phasing was critical to decrease the amount of impacts to our airlines. But you know, in other words, it's not shutting down the seats, what it was to happen, which were able to probably all the airline stays in shambles. The project is open right now. This is more or less an accounting game of shifting to bonds for this way or this way. And we get the contact on the six days of this project was hanging about. Mr. Tanya, questions of this factured item? All right, very good. All those I've ever received comments like that. Hi. Hi. Are those assumptions that includes item one, that part of the ones we're going to identify, point two. Have you wanted to entertain a motion that recommended the city council approved an authorized purchase for grassland irrigation for a 2023 brown master announced as $159,000 in change. I don't know if that's happening, but I don't know if it is there. So happy second, that's happy second. Great, and discussion. I'll say it a little quick, whereas this is no ordinary one. I don't know if that's what you're talking about. Dave, Dave, you're right. So this is sort of a primary, it's probably a new subject, to keep the grass to a certain height that's required with that pay. Currently, you know, we now, it ends roughly 17 for the whole time. And we're chasing problems with it. So at this point, we decided to go ahead and purchase the new one, because it's better than that, so we'll be going for an hour's time. And if, currently, we have, it's a tier two emissions, this one, there's also the EPA standard, tier four emissions. So this will not be purchased until 2025, but it's not, it's not, it's not, it's a life-threatening. And the reason we're bringing it, so is we do have to sign a contract so that we're going to get this into production. However, the stipulation on the contract is no delivery until after July, but it's very long, yes. Thank you. That's a good one. Thank you. Thank you. Doesn't this, you know, it doesn't just, you know. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's useful again. Thank you. All right, if there's any questions on this. I have just a technical one for you, right? So if we sign, if we sign this agreement now, even though we don't take delivery, this year doesn't count as a new conference because we don't actually take delivery until this year. Right. Well, because you can't even have an average press to finish it, so. You are not committed to. We're committed to other committee, extra funds. Oh yes, okay. But now, in fact, I can tell that it's to the agreement that it's not filled. You know, I don't have anything to learn, but I know making the commitment this year makes it better. But there's also language that says there's always fine language on our contracts that says as long as the appropriations is passed. So if, for example, as we're going to do the budget for next year, and we have to cut that, we're on that one, then that application is passed, and that will increase as we go. If we can't cover this year's budget for something like that, so I can't cover next year's budget. Yeah, I didn't know that technically there was a commitment to this game, so. All right, all right. Commissioner Zaynick, go ahead, Rick. Just to clarify what you said, you said that there was language in there that if the financial situation changed, that must be in the contract itself, because it's not in the moment that we're voting on. That's correct. That's in the contracts that we signed. All right, Commissioner, is there any other questions? Aaron Benham, all in favor of the signature I would say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstentions? You heard that, and we'll move on to items 5.3. Purchase of four light digits and a lot of heat electric vehicles. Okay, I'd like you to recommend City Council to approve and authorize and purchase from the Loyola forward in the amount of $13,000 and $16 and are currently associated by your control event as I would like you to act. So, as moved by Allen, seconded by Graham, discussion. This is a great step for us. These are three all electric vehicles Dave and his team have spent a significant amount of time making sure the specs meet our needs. This will also be the first airport in the state as well as the first airport probably in our region that is using operational vehicles, both aerial maintenance as well as the airport operations to be using a 100% electric vehicle out of our runways. It's a big step. We want to make sure we have the confidence and its capabilities out there as well. If you're here in person, wish you were here in person, we do have the units here to view the dealership was kind enough to say yesterday and delivered just for one night for us to look at today. But again, it's a great step. We are replacing these with existing fuel powered vehicles. The trucks are very capable but probably more capable than we used to because there's a lot of components like plug-ins and things like that in the trucks. So very, very eager to get these in our operational fleet. What we're asking for your recommendation today is two of the trucks which are the F-150 lightnings as well as the F-150 which is the Mach-E for Mustang. Both of these are specs being in the budget for what we wanted. We didn't want to under-desk that would be able to do that in other projects. Again, super excited to have James to sort of in there too. Yes, we tried the best approaches. We actually wanted to try to get a lot of mistakes that was a little bit of both of us to do. So we did this with the F-150 out to put it out into several more directions to see if we could entertain the production of the three vehicles. And it was the Royal Valley Board that came in the hopes of doing this, which was very exciting. And the timing of this was really important as well. We're in, well, a lot of companies are accepting their state bid pricing and we're doing this because the demand for retail is far too great right now for them to say yes to the discounts. But I just want to make sure I thought about their credits, incentive, so there's these 23 miles per vehicle set. Is that a state or federal? Not only for the vehicle, it's also for the truck. Were there any state incentives or federal? It all depends on where the electricity is going to come from. So if it was pre-manpower, that would be, that would be chargers participating in this production. We're, I think we're going to put in electric power. And I'm going to say that's true, even at the airport, we still have pre-manpower as well. We're not going to be putting the charging stations even in pre-manpower zone yet. But right now, it's going to be right here at the terminal because we're all here. I've learned things with the air-to-air terminal and aliens, which of course is here. And then one will be a general use vehicle. So whether we need maintenance, a team member to go to loads or when people have done something or an airport administration needs to go to say no, we're trying to completely eliminate any personal vehicle use with no gaps. Our vehicles as well as of course are. What do you anticipate the lifespan to be for the vehicles? I know typically like state fleet is usually 100,000 miles. Do you anticipate facing an off of mileage or some other metric? Yeah, mileage, the SUV will probably last much longer. We're not going to be using it as significantly as the truck's. The terminal pickup truck also won't need as much interaction, although I say it's for the terminal. This is for all of our buildings. So it'll be accessing things from the south side all the way up to our terminal. The operations vehicle, however, that gets a significant amount of mileage. So we're going to have to make sure we really identify and track it. I think right now you're usually over 150,000 miles on each vehicle that operation. This is where we started retiring. Our home is 100,000 miles, but again, we're not 100% sure what the lifespan capability is going to be. And so that's that too. They just had a shred of part of it today about a test of over 2,000,000 miles. They didn't have to replace the motors, but you got to replace the engine. The place is just a smaller part of that, right? So this is kind of a travel for us, but I think it's a travel and not just for the vehicle itself. We have a master auto mechanics on staff. We have three of them. This is a whole new product for them. So we're starting some training. With the engine vehicle fleet to a certain extent. And then like Dave said, we're going to have to work with the manufacturer to make sure we understand what components are going to be replaced, what are we going to need, what do we need at stock, those types of things. So it'll definitely be a training and a new opportunity for us to learn what to do. Great. Thanks. How has the life span to the battery? Not familiar yet with those. They probably aren't either. I was just curious if they have any guesstimates. Yeah, we did get the extended battery life. Two pickup trucks, I believe. Yeah, extended capacity. Because one of the things that we did risk in house design is we certainly don't want this vehicle stuck, or it shouldn't be stuck, which is out of our area. Obviously we had a little runaway. Yeah, perfect. With the tools that you move in, if we need to, we want it to make sure that we submit. And we're charging with clean electric use and not charging over. We don't need to charge it. Battery life, we're not 100% used. And then online search, 100,000 or 80,000. Oh, so we're going to be miles to the battery as well. Is that what you're saying? It's less than eight years, more than 100,000. 19. That's, just doing a basic survey here, that's for this bit of range. That's good. So potentially you'd buy a new battery. You'd place the battery versus, I mean, if the chassis and everything else was not rusted or worn out. Because yeah, I've had some pre-issues and that's pretty much what we're going to do. And we place that battery. The battery is very expensive. And it's not the easiest thing to get rid of safely. But I've had two pre-issues and they both went over 200,000 pounds. And of course, pre-issue and the all micro vehicle are slightly different. But we'll merge. David, I have a question about incentives. I'm not sure how the Inflation Reduction Act of federal law sort of pertains to businesses rather than individuals. But I know at least for individuals that if you replace a gas car with an electric vehicle and you get up to $6,000 of a tax grant, a sort of a deduction of a tax grant. I don't know if that applies to businesses. And I don't know if we in fact replaced a gas vehicle with the electric one. We have been working with downtown on that because the entire city fleet is going through that analysis to make sure that all the vehicles that have been replaced hit some of those incentive programs on the federal level. Right now, we're probably not going to hit that threshold, especially because of the cost of these vehicles. But through like David said, through BED and some of these other programs will have rebates associated with which are called gas charging stations. But we're going to have that. We don't have those yet. Any other discussion on this action? I think none of those in favor. This is my mistake. Hi. Hi. I'm closed. Substances. I don't find a point forward to the waterfront grant agreement. I do want to entertain a motion to recommend to the city council to authorize the director to be in the issue to execute the A2023 parking cleaning waterfront grant agreement after review. We got a proposal by the city. In turn, it starts to change. So as you know by now, this is our second session. By great discussion. Actually, this is the result of a very motivated summer internship in Madison. Identified inside of the city. And she found out what we could do with this and do this present for those guidance. So there are things that are why did they need memo benefits or things that we want to do, need to do. Can we, right now, like it has to do with the same first strong arts as you being in the champion that I can't find. I think she can find a lot of stuff. So we've identified those. I do want to put in this for years. The same thing I accepted it. And with a 20% tax, but either items that we would be working on anyway. Thank you. Thank you from the commissioners. Dean, I know it was a favor. This is what I was saying. Those extensions. And we're going to now to item 5.5, which is a piece of evidence. If you don't mind, I can't much of a recommendation. That the director of aviation executes that the director of aviation execute a read statement in first event to the original cellular antenna life theory that we spread still moves. That's what my hell is there. Is that right discussion? This is a relatively simple one. We've been working with sprint for many years. They have a cellular antenna, literally. So it's very small footprint, if you will. They do have some equipment inside of the building as well to support that system. And it's essentially around the place that we operate with them or including monthly rental costs. We were up in the air with them for a little while of where we want to look at putting them permanently based on terminal designs, putting garage designs, which is where this one is located. And both sprint and airport 3 that the current location both meets sprint as well as the airport's needs. And really good source for us. We do have other cell phone carrier agreements at the site as well. This is an extension of the existing agreement in the existing location for additional five years. Right. We should have any questions at this time. Thanks, Steve. Not all of us have ever been able to see the part we say hi. Hi. Hi. Can you make those extensions that completes our ash items? You can provide us with any of the things which is structuring on the date of the fact. I have no additional money over what's been provided. And I have no questions that you might have. We have it right here. We're holding it and cleaning up everything that was done. And moving on to the continued projects. So that's not going to apply for what we're talking about. Thank you, Larry. I'm sure there's any questions for Larry. If it's a point of procedure. Any questions for Larry on the previous item, the clean water grant. Is it okay if I absolutely, I know that the motion has been passed. I'm just sort of curious. Just looking at that and I was reading it when the boat took place. I'm in favor of it. So I didn't want to raise a question then. But it reads that we're going to use these. I don't have my glasses today. So if I'm moving back and forth like that, that's the reason. So we're going to use these monies to help improve the stormwater capacity, design new treatment practices, and fix existing water infrastructure. My question is, I'm just sort of curious. Is our stormwater capacity and treatment program, is that just connected to the airport terminal itself or does our tenants do their stormwater run into our program and how does that work? It's a combination of all. All right. Stuff on the hand side that stormwater runs to the city itself and collected. However, if you look at our PTA, for example, the stormwaters, they're close to our treatment system on site, on the airfield. There's multiple areas with water daylights. Most all of it either goes through treatment capacity, not all of it though, and discharges to the north or south, in which we sample three or four times a year to provide quality standards. Also including the stormwaters, also our underground injection control system, which takes care of our glycol system, which is another collection area. It takes it to a certain location. GAR, for example, when they did that big upgrade to their taxiways, installed chambers and stormwater systems as a result of those improvements. So it wasn't just direct discharges to streams. They did too. Bays got huge. You can take a ride around their parking lot and it's really fun to look at things. There's stormwater treatment systems. PTA has the right one there. So we've got a mix of everything. We've got over 600 structures. In the list, there's probably 80 of them we did. Identified that heat repair. So we can use some of this money to repair 80 of these things. At capacity, we work with shade from a capacity. It's like with exception of all this moving to improve maybe those ones that go directly out. And we perform all the treatment practices we're looking at. That part, I think we've had on our list of items where the FAA said it would provide funding that wouldn't deal with regard to our UIC system. Now we're back in. I think this money will be utilized. Our next money will be used to do a white paper. So identify what our options are to do a better job with that. Before we apply for a grant to move that project and a better solution with regard to recycling of our used glycol and DIC therapies. That answer? It is. And I'm glad that you mentioned they are National Guard because I know that they set out that document that the Guard sort of said that they want to meet environmental standards. So they have an obligation to do that. So I'm glad that you mentioned that that was the case that developed good about the improvements. And the last thing you mentioned that if I wanted to take a ride out to Vader to check that out. Can I do that in the March 3? Or should I get a company vehicle or should I get a truck so that we can ask them? And then lastly, Madison, she congratulated us. So I know that I think you introduced her about this month ago. So that she was going to be working on these things. And it's just it's clear that she has been working. Yeah, she wasn't at that interview. That he was finally getting you a diamond. You were right in and you could stop her. And she's still doing it. She just did a census of a report that she's doing about this report at University of Rhode Island. Yeah, and it's incredible to watch her all sorts. She just didn't stop. I'll send her a cry. Yeah, she watched. She watched this. She'll watch this. So the item seven on the report with Blyphyl. Upgrade. Does that have any impact on the stormwater? Blyphyl, have a term? What we did identify with the same is, okay, once we go to the FAA for funding for design and construction of that upgrade system, before we do that, we want to look at all of it in our conscience, like do we want to centralize where the aircraft and the DIs rather than having the DIs over 11 acres, right? We want to study that. So do we want to reintroduce the holy man and evolve into DIs there? We want to have an overall review of the whole site because what the best option is for the treatment of that system with regard to leading to recycling of Blyphyl, like Portland Bay. Portland Bay has a lot of bigger issues that we have here with regard to that, but we wish you all the best. I'm glad the funding was reinstated by the FAA that I understand this because that was Yeah, we can have a minute of this off and then I think that's really important to our groundwater and bleach and clean and we'll be reverberating in a lot of places. All right, anything else going on? Thank you. Anyone want to move on to the financial team? Great. Thank you. If not for you, you have for the financial response set up for the end of October. So the highlights from this is our revenues continue to be doing well. We have had primarily higher due to our conference of our revenues, seeing our partners in our revenue segment. You can really see that both on the individual detail reports, but also on the revenue. The report is very interesting to continue to see that our parking is 106% of what it was for the same, we'll say, the 12 month period ending that October. Because that's what the short shows 12 month rolling period compared to this is all free COVID is what we're trying to do. So that's pretty good. Our garage back we have a lot of discussions about the garage. We are working on that work at the moment. We've walked out some spaces on the back of the garage. We're trying to keep it from the stone operations to give it clothes, but we may have to open it up ultimately because we continue to during Thanksgiving. We think it was the day before Thanksgiving. We've locked it off. Just, you know, it makes it difficult when people come out of their cars. Also, you know, while it was going on behind. So we had the capacity to try to encourage the party in the garage, but we had to open it up on the day before Thanksgiving because we were looking at that whole box. This might be one of the first years in a while that they actually were already sold on allowing employees to park in the garage, to who would allow that in the wintertime. Because there's a surface lot that then when I say employees, it's like an airline. Oh, everybody that works out of this building. This might be one of the first years that we might have to push that back to January or not allow it because right now, when we do the package, we're looking at today, I don't know if it could be bringing spaces to the left in the garage right now, including the third floor that which is closed, which is what I'm already saying. If I need to open that so allowing employees to park in the garage is definitely what we are with our passenger trapping and our passenger experience. As you may know, after allowing something for such a long period of time, then I didn't think that it would take five minutes. Yeah, but some are watching it closely. You know, it's one of my things, and even it's great to have where I'm at while these are going to be very supportive. We're very thankful. We're very happy that people are utilizing the garage. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And just to be clear, the surface lot is maintained expertly for employees. We make sure the sidewalk is plowed as a priority for our passenger stand employees. I encourage the teams to park out there every now and then as well. And so it's a great line, but it's a number three. Yeah, and then even on another revenue point out is our car concession revenue. That was a hundred and thirty percent. That average rolling 12 months compared to what we were. So that's also those are the two biggest drivers that we're seeing. And our expenses are as as we built the budget and we are higher than they were last year. But we say that maybe something like that. They are through October to be clear. And they're primarily higher because we're doing the big project forwarding, basically all the electric to be passed transition by large. So that being stayed over by a year or so. Primarily because we have to close down the section to the garage to run and to do things. It takes time to close it down. So we've been staggering. So we've been interviewing so much for the past year. We have closed that down for the next few months. A lot of that is just difficulty supporting in the garage. So we'll take it back up. And then just other things that we know and plan on is the salaries over time. Play that sort of everything. They get to ordinary. And our cash update, which is always important metric of where we are. We have over five million dollars in our general operating. So we've been in good shape for that. We continue to work and get reversals. We have a lot of these projects, even though we closed out construction, we're still getting bills on and paying large bills. And we bill right now. And it's not going to shoot this week. It's not going to work. It's been done. So it's sort of always a moving target. But we're always getting bills that we're seeking reimbursement. I think it's paying it. Closing out a bunch of our AIP grants that are pretty much fully closed out for the team. A lot of energy. That's going to be a lot of the lines between minority and partner. Associate engineer. Those are the highlights. What it is. Financial report. And I will entertain any questions. So if anybody has an answer. Sure. But this is for observations. I just didn't want you to get back to the point of dollar age, but the current concessions started. The last three months have been particularly strong. And we're kind of flatlining this and accelerating. I'm just curious if we have any reason why we think that all of a sudden current concessions year over year are prone. Faster. Right. Well, I think they're, I mean, I think they're able to charge. But also, I think for a while there were pressure as the car rental companies were returning to full operations. There was pressure. There was, there was, they struggled to get all the cars. It's like all the consumers were doing work for a lot of money. And I think that it was probably difficult to get them on the same bench. So they were, they were bringing as many as they could get a hold of the leisure. I know that that's why demand for them. We were just seeing, I was seeing these, you know, big, so big trucks that come in and are loaded with cars coming in and coming in. So it was a very hot time for a lot. Summer is a very good time for a lot. But really a lot of people don't have any cars. And fall is exceptional. It's fun. And we had plenty reporting in for various reasons by being foliage or maybe at the school term weekend, all of those things. So we had a lot of carbonators, they were pushed to the max. But they're asking for more, they love that more spots and more places to go for a car. I think it was almost three months. They're a really good question in the facility. So they were, now they had more cars. So I think they were able to rent cars. So seeing that was charged. So again, it's a good indication of part of it. It's interesting to see how that all ties in, how our airport really has impacts on the performance. And it's really a good extra time. Thank you very much. Thank you, Maria. And we'll move on to item eight, which is a community measurement came on here first. Other than the last convention, I don't have any other. If there's any questions or observations on the information in the packet, that's provided. I can move on to item two, which is the residential seven installation for federal data awareness. Phase one is substantial company, which is the first nine problems. There weren't sort of a lot of stuff that were a little bit delayed, still not solved by the end of this month. Stage two, the six homes are being constructed right now. So that's going well with one challenge there is one homeowner decided that they were just going to go to Florida for the winter that didn't want the project that this time of year. So that will challenge with how that's going to work. We have a different contract for the next year. Let's talk about materials. So just trying to get on the stay or have one of the relatives monitor. So they signed the contract, but we'll have to move on to that one. Okay, so that was a great challenge that we were running to. We got a new contractor out there. And phase three, with two approach potential residents for next year's 50 homes to design a plan program by day. We are getting sad to move forward with the construction of 52 or construction improvements with two more homes in the spring. Different contractor and see how that goes. And then another 50 and we'll see how we do that. So the anticipation that the contractor will learn, work, and complete the development every year? No, it won't start several weeks, eight minutes. So it's so far with these programs, right? Even though the timing is consistent with that 50 houses. So as long as we start in the spring and forward through it, it should work really well for that 50 houses in here. Even the competition is out there. That was one of our biggest worries was are there no contractors? And so contractors, but with these contracts right now, they're smaller, things seem to be working really well. And it's coming back to the leaders of the team. Oh, good. And even though the primary object is not going to be able to assault our contractors, it's going to happen. So just see that it's going to happen over the next few minutes. Yes. All right, that's good. Sure. I love it. So, you know, they're contained. It was safe. It's not a bad share that it's on others. Don't you breathe more easily at night? Any questions? Really? I'll just add one more thing about our noise exposure map update. Another big one. We had a recent technical advisory committee meeting. My days are all mixed up, but it's really good size to reach out. Which was really great. We're still in the data collection. What we presented last week was our radar data and literally the flights that are leaving and coming into the airport and going at the tracks, making sure that the users were involved. Everybody from air to aviation to the line of National Guard. And that's really going to be the primary input to this computer modeling. So having that information as accurate as possible with the users, the folks that are flying these flights or the entities that are managed now is really critical to the process. We're still on track, which is on track for the timeline that's presented right now, which is to present a track that was exposure map by early summer of this coming year. We still have a lot of work to do at the end of the technical advisory committee meetings prior to any publication of the traffic map. And then the second thing I was going to add was we're also still working with the OLDCC, which is the Office of Local Defense and Community Cooperation Department of Defense to really push for a quite a bit of more funds for our noise compatibility program up to $18 billion is being competed against nationwide. We're one of a very select few airports. Right now, we're looking at probably only one other airport in the country that may be eligible for this. So we're trying to really push hard to incorporate that for future phases that Larry was describing at the end. And we'll know that February, March time together might have that. Yeah, thanks. I notice the website's been updated. So that's awesome. Thank you. Glad to see that. I'm wondering if there's meeting minutes or a recording. I just tried to check CCTV and I didn't see anything for the previous meeting in October. But if there's a meeting minutes or a recording, it would be nice for me to have a chance to watch that. We do and we'll make sure both the October and the last week's meeting is on there as well. Yeah. I'm not sure maybe I'm not using the right search terms on CCTV or maybe it was just recording from Zoom. But yeah, whenever you have a chance to send those recordings over, I'd like to watch that. And yeah, I think that's it. If you're able to post the agenda for the January and April meetings at least a week ahead of time, that would be great. I know that public meeting laws, you only need like 48 hours. But if you're able to give a little bit a few more days, that would be helpful too. Excellent. And those meetings that you're describing too, they are listed on our website right now. So if anybody is watching or when January 18th at 5.30 p.m. and April 11th at 5.30 p.m., are our final two technical advisory committees right here in this room right here. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Director Longo, just to follow up on the, I don't know, I didn't catch the acronym on the available funds, but on the 18 million for potential noise mitigation, is it an all or nothing? Or I mean, how are you envisioning, what is the competition if you will? And then as a follow up, by when do you envision having some decision that obviously would be huge and welcome news? I'm just wondering what that process looks like. The way I look at it is an all or nothing. And I did tell the program director that because we have one of the largest residential civil use airports in the country right now with a program our size. And we're very clear both in our pre-application process as well as in our direct conversation that we are shooting for all 18 million. However, it's not appropriated that way. So we can't apply for portions of it and so can other airports. Madison, Wisconsin is one of those other airports. And I love Kim. She's the director of Madison Airport. We have a lot of conversations together over the years. And there was even some conversation about splitting these funds, which I said, no, thank you. We're going to try to shoot for the $1 billion. And she has a very similar program where her F-16s were retired very recently, just last this year. And they're now just seeing their first F-35s arrive at the airports. They're undergoing their very first noise exposure map that incorporates F-35s. So we're years ahead of them. And that's why I was so adamant with this DOD department, OLDCC, to incorporate all of these. The timing, like Larry said, right now it's out or just finished a public comment period because it's a brand new appropriation. This has never been done with the Department of Defense before. Thank you, Senator Lakey and his staff, because they were the ones that wrote the actual appropriation bill and working with us. And it's going through that public comment, public response by the federal department, and then an application process starting in February. So we're still working with the timeline right now. And then the award wouldn't happen until summer of 2024. Okay, thank you. Appreciate that. And that is all available to on their website, which is just OLDCC.gov. And there's a subsection specifically for airport noise programs. All right, Mr. Zayli, give us a second. Great, thank you very much. Can we move on to my name? This is the Directing Report, Nick. So a big part of my Directing Support is that I'm actually going to hand it off to Jeff to talk about all the events that we've experienced from our employees. And then I'll turn it in with some of the travel outfits that we've also prepared. Great, very quick. Yeah, I didn't want to rush. Yeah, sorry about that. It's very odd to have you all stare. It looks like you're staring at us. I know you're not. Like, what do I have on my face? What's happening here? Okay, so we've had a good month, I think. Over all, we've had a lot of successful facts. Press has been phenomenal. Nick has done a couple of radio interviews. He's got another one next week. The pre-pressivity off-compensate article that was published front-page last week. We talked about the airport. We also did some paid media through seven days. There's a pretty large trend this week, seven days, as well as just kind of talking about the renaming and the direction that we're going for as an airport next slide. So it's just a couple of things. Marie, Nick, and I, we did a country-based sort of a lot of that. That was hosted by Bernie Sanders last month that I watched in DC. Got to mix and mingle with a lot of Vermont products, a lot of businesses. There's a lot of really good food. I think I can eat five pounds over there in a one-day trip. But we also had some one-on-one time with Congresswoman Balastaff to chitchat a little bit about what's going on and their support. Nick Dobber, I worked with her earlier before the meeting, but he was in London, presented to the International Airport Summit. I think that was successful, but we saw it. I swear to the same. No video online, summer hall, you know, checking. And just a little bit more background. Really quick trip, multiple-day conference where I was on the panel, which is on the screen right there, which was about capacity constraints and airports. There was no presentation the way that the host, the airport, as well as the host conference. I don't remember what I just wanted to do was we're on chairs on the front of the stage and we're having a debate among pure airports and really pretty big airports. I was on a panel with the director of the Hong Kong airport, the director of the Budapest airport, who was our moderator, NAS, N-A-T-S, which is the governmental air traffic control division of Europe, as well as one of the directors of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria. So it was really an all-encompassing, very different perspectives, both from funding Singaporeans all the way to the size of the airport. Really successful. There were quite a few US airports at this conference, as well as, of course, international airports. I thought I was going to be one of the smaller airport representatives, however, I was not. It spent a lot of time with some of our Canadian partner airports, which are about an hour flight away from us on the very, very east coast of Canada. And she also had some very intriguing scenarios that she's playing out. Really great conversations, not only at the panel discussion itself, but also getting to know some airports. Lots of questions, like, would you change his remote, okay? I'm just going to explain a little bit of... Your Montreal, and they know that. That's exactly what I'm trying to say. A geographic reference point. But it was a spectacular couple of day conference in some showcase and partner airport in the magazine that is published in internationality, which was the host, as well as really getting to talk to some of these air airports. So last week, the Mamava team came to the airport. We celebrated anniversary here. As you may recall, we have the very first pod they ever created still and being used in our North Terminal. So we celebrated that and they brought their new first pod as their first new line. And that's now over in the tip on the second floor. Nice little backdrop. And they unveiled a new breastfeeding bench as well. So it's a fun event to get through together. That's like four doors afterwards. But they're really excited about the partnership. A couple days beforehand, when we were in New York City, Latin New York City, JFK and walked out of our gate and there was Mamava. So it was not a goal to see them expand and really start here at the airport. Last week, we also did the holiday celebration. Chelsea Green from our main scene put it together. Re-decorating. We had some ornaments, food, music. I was nice to feel a bit of that. American airline employees actually showed up 15 minutes before we were supposed to start chomping at the minutes to go. But it was a lot of the community and everything. Also, just kind of the day to have a decorating for the holidays and to have people work behind and don't do the events. I love the way it is on the 3-0, but it's great for college. Yeah. And we are still conscious too about inclusivity and making sure that our holiday decorations keep the talk about. The season that we're in also includes all of the holidays that are really over the next quarter that are really too late to come into the week. Because Nick wanted to go to London, we're not doing this presentation. I went and presented at the except college all of them. So it's great to see all of them. Yeah. I was very impressed. And so the call for us to put on this event that's the issue using me. It's the first thing we're going to do with going forward to kind of get the tourism industry together and talk about with so many industry experts, guest speakers, just to discuss where we're charting. Key takeaways from the presentation were the B-trans, so I can present it, talked about the high date. Board of trustees based on coming down the pipe as well as the interstate connecting to I-89, which is a huge opportunity for us as an important joint work that's going to be that would be easier to get down for all attention. And the big thing is the solar eclipse that's coming in April. There's a lot of interesting information shared. A best presenter from Grand Rapids who experienced this came and discussed what happened. Couple of interesting takeaways from our airport is they had over, if you said, over 305 planes land just for those three hours. And what they did to plan for that and so forth. And Nick and I have a prank story. What we're thinking about doing is actually hosting an event on the third story of the RV garage. Maybe get a van for a couple of hours, some food, maybe a beer garden or a source to celebrate it, take a little money, but also have a safe place for travelers, the community to come. The big problem with this, and I had a lot of discussions with my previous role in safety. We've been having influx of 150 to 200,000 people coming. A lot of them will bring cars. And where are they going to go? A lot of them are on the side of the drugs. And they'll sit there for three hours watching this event. Like the big event's going for three minutes. But the whole process, there's several outs. So we're trying to find a way to monetize it, obviously, but also buy a safe spot for all of our travelers that are coming through the HBTV. And then a couple of other projects that we're working on. We're working with Fini Pancake on some seating, some more bar seating and more booths available in the South Terminal, to the North Terminal to help with comedy. They're going to be a hurdle that they have is they don't have enough seating for single passengers who want to sit down, grab two hours early, maybe have a beer or cocktail. There's not enough room for them. So we've been working with them on that. We're exploring an idea of a tasting room or a mock product. Just more things that pass the time, which is leading to what I'm really excited to share. The next slide is starting on Monday. We have partnered with Local Matter. It's a really cool marketing firm out of Burlington. They specialize and they work with Vermont makers on building their brand, building their products. They have a store downtown. We help out their treat in that store. And a lot of really cool products from food, like the sojournki to lotions, jewelry, etc. And so what we're going to work with them on is we're doing two trials. Starting next week, they'll be in information with the damage brand, and they will be selling for a week gift baskets. And then they'll ship it out for you. So if you're coming to Vermont and you want to sell some products, you can buy a house at home or maybe gifts. And then the week after, we're actually going to put them in the tip. And they'll be doing a cooking demonstration, selling the same products. And just more of these were our passengers to pass time. Maybe last week, yes, they do work with a couple distilleries as well. So this is where we're on there. We're going to do two trials, one in December and the one in January. And if it goes well, I think it's going to go well. We'll be coming to you about maybe a more permanent operation. We're also sticking them up with Hudson News. So if this kiosk concept doesn't work, they're going to try to put some of the products that they know put together in Hudson. And they're all 100% Vermont-based. 85% of the organizations they work for are women going to operate, which I think is pretty cool. So we're really excited that we've worked hard on this. I don't know if you want to add anything about it. I'm super excited. Jeff has done a lot of work already. The team, his team has done a lot of work downstairs to prepare for this view right here. I think he's going to be very popular, very excited in connecting existing partnerships that we've already had right here at the airport. So they'll be a person. It's mine. I mean, it's a fixer right now. But it's... Right. Yeah, they're still finalizing. I'm finalizing everything to partner with them. What they're bringing for shelving and all of that. But they have one person who's going to be upside players. That's their product. It's all they sell as players. We order one line. So just another option that we provide our passengers. I'm really excited about the cooking demonstrations. They're going to be doing a meatless serve demonstration. The head chef or head of the wood has signed up to do some stuff. And we'll know that online. I think we'll have two hours early. Here you go. Nick, that's a phenomenal drink. I think that's the best one ever. I think so too. No, it's really fast. I mean, I think that sounds cool. Really cool. All right. Can I have any questions on that presentation? Go ahead and say something. So now I'm saying that I had one that I had for Larry's presentation. So we had talked about we're going to reflow our service to the department. Right. Like, and I know that we're... It seems that we're suspending that for... No, it's completely... Oh, it's fully... It's just completely, you know, all the sides are in. We did as much paint as we possibly should. The floor got too cold and we're going to take it out. But we do now have it. And it was a lot first. We did everything. It's for the next given. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was going to be... Carpenter. What was that? It was going to be so much. It was going to be a lot of things. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it seems to be working really well. There's still a couple of tweaks that we have to do. Jeff and I took a nice cold scroll. The garage, you go about where we're walking. And it's 99% where we needed to be. And I think it's much more easier for a pastor to find a spot upstairs and keep conflicts of the awesome traffic. I think it's a lot of work. Good. I didn't tend to just finish the redness. I didn't see any advance. But I already got a second chance to discuss it this time. Go ahead, Red. I mentioned it before, but I'm going to mention it again. There is a significant opportunity for line striping for municipalities. So Nick, if your team is ever looking for some additional opportunity out there. For the right price for Winooski in South Carolina. Interesting. I don't know if we're allowed to actually, because it's airport-owned equipment. But it's intriguing. It's intriguing. Well, there is that opportunity. There's that need. Let's just say whether it could be a realized opportunity might be something to look into depending on capacity and what you're legally allowed and permitted to do. But I mean, there's one contractor in the state doing line striping. Actually, Tom DePietro also mentioned that in a baseball game that I were coaching against each other. But as I mentioned that as well, interesting. So there's my pitch. I'm going to move on to 11. I have 11 which is follow-up items. We didn't carry any board or any items we should add based on what is transpired in today's meeting. So that includes I have 11. So now we have those executive sessions. This is going to be a two-partner. I'm slowly getting better at this. I'm going to try to work here and something. I'm going to make a suggestion on it. So the first motion I'm going to entertain is that we enter into a section. Oh, sorry, that we move to find the premature general public disclosure of the airport's legal affairs and clearly place the airport in a substantial disadvantage. So here you have our motion to add to that. Some of those we might have, is there a second? So is there any discussion on that motion? Hearing none of those, if they were please signify by saying aye. Signify by certain codes, certain extensions. Okay, here we go. This one's a contrast or something. Not a contrast, it's large. So I move that we enter into the second session to discuss the airport's legal affairs and the regulations that we're going to have in the future since we began. Given that there is no intent to take any action subsequent to the executive session, move to a journey within the session and then immediately move to the executive session. So move to the executive ready. That's a second one. Any discussion? Hearing none of those, if they were please signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstentions? Right, so the regular session is adjourned and we will move into executive session. Okay. And I'll just write a question.
