 So we'll get this meeting started at 4.03 p.m. Just a heads up, it's fine, but I got to notice that I can't turn the video on because it's close to the start. Yeah, me too. Should now try to get now. We thought there was going to be a basketball court behind you. It's just a little bit down the hall. All right, so we got a call. We'll get started at 4.03 p.m. Richard's technically well. Please acknowledge your presence. Yep. Yeah. Robin Gillian. And today we have not technically commissioner, but we have deputy mayor rather sitting in for rain the boat leaf. Thanks for having me. Who's the first item on the agenda? It's the agenda to improve the contents of the agenda is proposed. So move. It's been a great third second. Thank you. Thank you. Any discussion or proposed budgets. Hearing none. All those there to see if I can say that. Hi. Hi. Those. So we've got three public forum. Deputy mayor, I don't know if you have any comments you want to make in public forum today. If you're just observing the Beatrix observing Beatrix. Thanks. Great. I don't see anyone else from the public. Those down and three and four. Which is the consent agenda. Your motion to approve the contents of the consent agenda is presented. So moved by Greg. Is there a second? Robin was second. Thank you, Robin. Any discussion on the contents. Seeing none. All those there to see if I can say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Abstentions. We move on to item five. It's our first and only action item. It's not. I don't want the amendment to be presented by degree. We willing to entertain a motion to residents before the finance city council. The approval of the budget amendment as outlined in our agenda packet. But here's such a motion. So moved by Greg. Is there a second? I can second. Thank you, Robin. All right. Discussion to be led by Marie. Very good. Well, good afternoon, commissioners. The budget amendment we're just bringing, um, and we'll continue probably monthly until the end of the fiscal year, bringing budget amendments as we need to sort of shift monies around. Uh, probably the largest portion of this budget amendment is to do with an AIP grant for the mill and overlay. This is a grant that we are putting an application for. And, uh, which we'll go in by the beginning of May. And we expect to commence construction of the mill and overlay of runway 1533 once we get the grant. Um, the design work gets done ahead of time. And when I put the budget together, I didn't quite put enough into cover all of the, uh, anticipated design expenses that we're going to happen this year. So that's why I'm amending that particular grant. It is 90% federally reimbursed by the FAA. We'll be, this is how our design, a lot of our grants work. We get reimbursed with that design portion when we get the construction portion of the grant and, um, with the remaining 10% local share combination of state and local, which is the airport, which we will go under the PSC to get, collect the revenue eventually from and another application. So other than that, we do have, um, just sort of a number of other items, probably the second largest one is the repair and maintenance. Um, so we're, um, sort of, um, going ahead and putting more of budget funds where we need them and where things become obvious as the year goes on, we have additional expenditures that we don't necessarily know exactly what buckets are going to be. And so this is sort of an adjustment. Um, the other large, the other large budget amendment as part of this is we're amending the marketing promotion line item. Um, between hosting our events and then our breeze, the airway, the breeze airways, adding service. We've been doing a lot of promotional stuff, more promotional stuff than we maybe haven't passed years. So we are also adjusting that light in and that is the, the sort of the overall presentation I have for the budget amendment. You want to talk through any of the offsetting decreases of them? Sure. So the decreases are some areas. Um, we've been very lucky this year with the runway deicing. I should say we, we, a lot of it's a combination. I mean, it's always about weather and safety. Safety is number one here at the airport. We never compromise on safety. And, um, in our construction, our crew will do whatever is necessary to keep those runways clean and safe for everybody who's using them. But we didn't, we did incur less expenditures. Just it's a combination of, um, I think our team is very experienced and they've tried some new things. We're using some liquid deicing, which we started last year and they're just managing that little differently, but it really depends on what it is. So dependent on the weather. Um, but I think they've, they've done a really good job managing that this year. So we were able to take some of the funds from here. Um, some other, some other accounts as we just didn't incur quite as much expenditures as we maybe have in past year. So I was able to use some of those funds that we're not anticipating spending money. So it really is, is a matter I need more, a little more here than there. Um, little bit out of, I, I was able to adjust the utilities gas, but it was like $11,000. And probably the only other line that I'll talk to is the energy efficiency expense line. We budget a lot of money. We're actually spending a lot more than we budgeted in energy efficiencies. And that's because a lot of it's been coming out of the project. It may not be necessarily getting coated to energy efficiency. We've been doing a huge project in the garage. Um, and that is replacing all the light fixtures and with energy efficiency light fixtures. And it's, it's more than a 12 month project, but it's, this is huge savings that we anticipate having. And so our actual energy efficiency line, and we're just not coding things in the same way there. So we're able to sort of reallocate those funds to other areas. Thank you. Uh, but it's for Maria. But you were sort of fading in and out a little bit. Uh, so I didn't catch everything, but it sounded like right here, everyone loves the, uh, off-setting savings. Uh, could you repeat what, what caused the, uh, the expense increase? Oh, certainly. Well, some of the expense items as good as a job as we do to, to budget for them. Um, and I'm going to bring it up here. Okay. Um, I probably, did you hear what I said on the grant or do I, should I start there? 90, 10. Okay. Yes. That was on the grant. Did you hear what I explained? I don't know how much I'm cutting in and out. Um, it's pretty good. It's better now. Okay. I'll try to make sure I'm making the microphone. You say that there were some unanticipated expenses. Uh, that, uh, that occurred, uh, after you set things up. And I was just wanted some, a little bit more clarification on that. Right. When we, when we go ahead, we're working on our budget today. This month for the 2025, just to give you an example of timing. We put together the budget for fiscal year, 2020, 2024 the year that we're in. We have a pretty good idea of what we're ultimately going to spend. Sometimes the timing or in this case, the timing on the design work, we might not have had the exact amount of the design contract yet for this upcoming, the runway mill and overlay. And so sometimes when I put the money in there, knowing that we're going to get reimbursed by the FAA, when we get the grant in 2025, we're going to be able to, when we get the grant in 2025, I underestimated the amount of the timing of the design work. And so that is just simply an adjustment to recognize the timing of the design work. Um, has happened a little sooner than I had originally anticipated when I put that budget together a year ago. So that's not uncommon. We do our best, but sometimes on the timing of, of these expenditures on the grants, uh, sometimes they happen a little quicker than we anticipate in some, in this case, that's what happened. Thank you. Right. So this is just to clarify, I can build up a great, great test. This is actually a time machine. We're not up in the total cost of the design. It's just not calling 24 versus 25. Correct. Did you want me to talk about any of the other expenditures? Is that helpful? That was helpful. So on the other expenditures, they're just really adjusting to reflect how we're spending the money this year. Um, for example, the next item is the on call services for terminal. We've been utilizing our on call is when we, we, we put our staff, typically our maintenance staff folks on call. Um, we've been utilizing them a little bit more heavily in that capacity. It's, it's a, a union thing that we do this way that they're available to us if we need to bring them in. And so we've been doing more of that this year than we typically have in past years. So these are, they're pretty, most of them are pretty minor, um, adjustments are not necessarily that they're unanticipated, but we'll do a better job of them. I learn from it each and every year. If the, um, sort of the trends of how we spend in line items, I take that consideration when I'm building this year's budget, the upcoming budget. And to Marie's credit rate, these are forecasted budgets when we put them together with these on call services or even the design of one through three, we have a schedule of, uh, generally we have a schedule of expenditures, especially for the big projects, but we really don't know where we're going to end up until, uh, later on the year until the contract with somebody until, you know, before the thing about that, and the projects is the designer and of course, if it's eligible work, which in this case it is, it's all going to go back into the grant anyways. Uh, and then, uh, on call services and even some of these other things. Uh, just shifting around, making sure it all works out at the end of the year. We're definitely not increasing our total budget and just, just changing things around. Thank you. All right. I think that's on this topic right here. And now I lost a favor. Please see the purpose of that. All right. Any posts, extensions, that works. I have a five and then we want to, I have six national topics for Marie to keep on going. Very good. Thank you. Is my audio okay? Or am I choppy? I'm okay. Thank you. So the financial report that you have in front of you this month is for February through the results through February for the PNL, the recovery metrics, the banking balance and the AIP receivable report. Um, we just did a, a drawdown and waiting for the reimbursement in fact, but under the Carissa and the ARPA. So we, we did draw down a little bit of money on under there to cover some of the expenses just to sort of drying down for this year. The year to date revenues through Jan through, oh, I, I missed that up through February. We're $18.5 million. Operating revenues continue to be trending higher. Oh, your overall year to date, which is always a good sign. Um, our parking revenue and our rental car revenues. Again, they trend are trending much higher. The expense, I thought I changed that, but the expenses through February were 11 point, uh, set 75 million. This is again, this is higher, but this was also planned and we built our budget higher this year because we were taking advantage of getting some larger projects done. We also knew that we had budget and forecasted, um, fully filling are the open positions that the airport has had during COVID. We had a number of open positions and we are finally pretty close to fully set. Um, so some of that is just reflected in the salaries and some of the other expenditures with that. Um, we're also seeing some higher expenses and our professional and consulting. Again, these were things that we planned for. And so that is not, none of these are out of line or unusual or unexpected. And our cash update, we had the lowest cash balance that we've had a 1.6 million dollars. We did not owe the city any money. And this is primarily again, it's timing as we're waiting for funds that are coming, um, predominantly from the FAA. So we did, we just did get a block of money from them in April, a little bit at the end of March. So, and we're still anticipating some more funds. So we're actively on that and going to be closing out quite a few grants that takes time for them to reimburse us. So we'll be waiting on that. We're also working with the city. We're working to renew our grant anticipation note. So we're working with a couple of folks in the downtown office. They are coordinating, getting some, um, uh, you know, proposals and getting some quotes. So we should be seeing that in the works. I'd like to have that in place and closing on that. Um, by the end of May. So that would be our timeframe name perhaps a little bit sooner. That is the highlights from the reports from the finance reports. I've certainly entertained. My, my son's dog wants to get, he wants to say something for you. He wants some attention. Sorry. All right. Any questions for Maria. Maria, I had just one, then you talked about it because I did notice that the grant anticipation note was at zero. You talked about low cash position. You know, is you feel like we'll have adequate cash to get through May without having that sort of. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean, we have, we have, uh, uh, reimbursements from the FAA that we've already been getting some of them. We have a couple of other reimbursements are in the, in the works, um, that we're waiting for from some other of the agencies that it, it just, sometimes it takes some weeks to a month or a little bit longer. Yeah. On the close up, but we have plenty of cash. So the cash is higher than that already. Um, which is, it just, that was sort of a low point. I report exactly what it is the end of the month. Yeah. Thank you. Right. We'll move on to seven. Just structurally. Great. Uh, there is any idea what to pull contractors and we mobilize to the parking garage to restart that project. I might get finished over the next 12 months with all the lighting. The last is essentially cars. The rest of the lighting. Um, Uh, We're on the tech center. Uh, permanent applications are in. We're hoping for a, uh, Uh, Yeah. I mean, when the sell brought in the first Tuesday of May for that project. That's right there. Um, It's south apron project. That's the big large six acre apron in front of the new beta manufacturing plan. Uh, We'll be started by April 15th and that will be finished by the end of June. Of course, case by the July 4th weekend as we know it right now. Um, We quite call system upgrade and what we've been talking about for years now. Um, That's going back and forth. We have a scope. Um, They are new to scope. Um, We're working with the state to see if that qualifies under that half of $9 grand for receiving for one. From strong water improvements. Uh, We're going to see it going. Reverses for that. And or use it as our share. That's right. So. That. Um, The, uh, Other highlight, uh, Is. Well, I'll do that. Um, Um, Um, The next project, which I'm sure it will give you more highlights in his report, But the big news here is that we've been working with the FAA and allowed us to submit a draft application. Um, Even though we don't have the final numbers in yet and allow us to get all the administrative stuff in place by the county points that grant on May 15th. It will be in less time and they can expedite the grant quicker, Which is really easy to them. Uh, So there are even viewing it where they can typically wait until we submit on May 15th. It might be a month or two after that, But we're doing it administratively. So that was very nice of them to do that. The FAA. Uh, So. That. And then, uh, The runway one, five, three, three mil and overlay. It's out there. We had a pre-instruction meeting on that. And two contractors show up. Uh, This are due on April 18th and the grant patiently filed by, They're not due to May 1st, But, uh, We went to the conference in Nashville. Um, People. Eight. So we want to file by Friday, Friday, April 26th on all the ranks, except for the next project, Which will be. Because that's a little different. Uh, So that's about it. I like to think of right now in regard to construction. Uh, I guess we'll say we are, uh, We are preparing. Uh, Six grant applications that all we do by the end of the month. And it's going to be, Uh, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be, It's going to be a boil. Directions of. That all we do by the end of the month. And it's hoping over $52 million. Flash, It's just a portion of what we'll need. Forwardculus projects. So that's, So that's it. I'm template. And. Oh, thank you. I think however we get the latest report, I guess we did get the right one. We put the March, maybe update, but instead of the April one. So the only thing I wanted to update you on was. See, they were the only access types. Yeah, so. So. Yeah, just. Yeah, we just caught that. So. So the only, there's only a few things to look for here. Residential sound, but first, phase one and phase two, where. Substances are complete basically for construction will be working first close out, which is the pilot programs. Okay. Phase one, phase two, phase. Phase three, there's 52 homes that'll start this year. We didn't have a little bit of a glitch like we did last year with windows by Americans were a little bit behind, but we are working to get that rectifying that project forward. I think everybody remembers we had that anti-show that went bankrupt in practice, which so windows and by American with the FAA and those for all that process. So it just delayed us a little bit there, but we were continued to be aggressive to get that going. And then now we can talk about the residential sound station private phase four, which I think we touched on last week that's this year's application. We are out of bed right now for 16 homes. We under phase three, we were, we have the, we have the money to design 50 which we will do. However, because of the acoustical testing that was required to move from the 70 to the six above the 70, which we got a blanket Google on. We have to do some individual testing acoustical between the 65 and 70 because we're moving at the back now. So that's the latest little bit. So we're going to get the grand application to the 16 that are out to bed now and another 50 homes design, although over the next month, we're going to get the package ready once that acoustical is done to go in still this year to make up the difference. The best we can between 60 and the 50 that we already have this other design. And so if someone has a home with 65 d l that that's has to get tested to see if they actually fall. Yes, they're the 70 they did. Well, we did it. However, okay. Yeah, we did sample something between those two. 70 which is the closest. We did sample properties throughout the area. We submitted that entire sample to the FAA and fall by that. All of these houses are similar. Yeah, therefore they should all. They prove that and yes, everything between 75 and 70 is eligible. So it's important for people to know that they're inside that line. It doesn't automatically qualify. There has to be some measurement. That's exactly right. And that's exactly the process we're going through right now. There may be a potential that we it's going to be much harder because as you go further out in the ways gets less and less less. And so it'll be much harder to say it's a tighter band of houses. Like we did in the higher console. So most of the people can have to test individual houses to grab the suit. So most likely within this grant application process, there potentially will be a phase five goes in after this phase four for the. We already have people to design. Okay. Although in this phase four, we're going to ask for letting to design 50 more just to keep things moving and hope have a good winter without reaching all that. And we'll sit, we'll say it again to we said at last meeting, we will have a model office model area for folks to come into the terminal building of the airport, which is right adjacent to this physical repair. This is our consultant team ourselves and look at what potential construction upgrades can go into their properties. So that'll be mostly running by by summer late summer this year. You'll see that as a lease agreement done because we're going to see that property or that space to the Joe's finger. And this being a big program, it's going to be nice to have the coordinator sitting right here right next to our office. So, so one thing I'll add to to the funding later is talking about all of the FAA funding sources. Sorry, unless you're going to talk about the office of local defense community cooperation, which is an office of the Department of Defense. This is the first time that they're funding noise mitigation programs in the United States. They have not released it yet, although we've been given word that in the next couple of weeks, they're going to be releasing a notice of funding opportunity for about 17 and a half million dollars. Larry and I and the team went through a comment, a comment period on the program itself. And we had a bunch of comments associated with we want to make sure each fact is included. We want to make sure this window is included. And we also just want to let them know that they're going to batch away from the International Airport is applying for the entire amount of their federal program, which is 17. We're one of the, as far as I have been aware, one of the programs that is ready for noise isolation projects under the stipulation of this program, and we're ready for that 17 and a half million dollars. So we're going to be working with consultants to get this done. It's been a very slow process with the OLDCC. So my, my guess is it's going to take the rest of this notice of funding opportunity the rest of the summer and really work with this new program to get additional funds outside of that. I think for the process. Quick follow up with that, Larry, so I can understand that better than OLDCC. OLDCC. Okay. And you said that we're applying for the entire amount. Correct. So that means that they have a bank roll of 17 million and we're hoping to be the only recipient. Wow, that would be amazing. It's a, it's a huge push. We've had a couple of conversations with their program managers. They are very aware of this airport noise program that we have in place. You know, they couldn't confirm or deny that, that we were ready, a thermal spreading for the program. But there is no other, there's no other programs in the country that have as much need as we have right now. And that are prepared to do this. There's other locations like Madison, Wisconsin is a really good example. They just got that 35, their first at 35 just came late last year. They're still redoing their noise exposure map, their noise compatibility program. They're a couple of years behind where we are on both insulation. We're ready all the work that Larry has been doing has put us ready for, for that full amount, which would allow us to design a much larger group of houses and potentially construct those houses. It was still being baked over time. Really flat and secure funding. And when I'm going to give up on FAA to they still are committed at around 500 dollars a year as well. And then the noise exposure map, which is what just touched on a little bit is, that's the update since we've had a full year of the 35 site. We are having our next technical advisory committee meeting on April 1 and that program continues and will be completed through this year. The only other thing I want to give you a heads up on with respect to all the projects and grants and different grants, we're going to be moving forward. There's going to be a lot of the next several months with contracts and grant acceptance and for all the different things we got going on. And Larry just related to that, you says that the next TAC meeting is scheduled for April 11. Yep. I'm not familiar with the TAC, but it sounds as if that's like a group of airport people and maybe some community members to or since it's an advisory committee or. Okay, so that includes like the air guard. Okay, the FBO, our airport people here, the school surrounding communities. Yeah, I mean, it's a large group of invitees from municipalities including school districts, not just came through 12 schools but also higher education schools like St. Michael's College at the airport commission is absolutely invited to those meetings. And of course, municipal leaders, both from Newsy, South Burlington, Burlington, SS, Wilson. Yep. And the objective of these groups is TAC standing for technical advisory committee is to really look at one there's some technical stuff that we look at from air operations, making sure the community knows that we're studying, for example. Helicopter operations. Is this your experience from, you know, anecdotal information to scientific information. Is this what you're doing? We review that we review those right now. We review quantity of operations based on real radar data. All of the things that would eventually get input into the modeling actually going through the noise. But so, and that's the next. Right now we have a schedule in June, although that may shift a little bit after April 11 meeting next week's meeting. The consultant group, Jones Bank Group and HMH will start our new noise exposure map. And then we're going to be prepared to present that new exposure map later this summer. Both in the TAC meeting, but also in community meetings right now we're planning on scheduling a meeting in Murdooski right here at the airport to display and publish the map and the documentation around it as well. The map is of course map, but the documentation is pretty big. That was leading to my next question because I know that Brynn has spent a big proponent of when are these meetings going to occur, how are they going to be advertised, what languages are going to be used, but sounds like that TAC committee is on top of that. That's right. And we do talk about a bunch of that in the TAC meetings. And then we, we're definitely going to be working with the city of Murdooski and the staff of Murdooski, both in language. I would like to have a meeting in the city of Murdooski as well. Last time we did it at the O'Brien Community Center, but President said that. So, we talk about the full gamut of not just the mapping and documentation itself, but how to publish it later this summer. Thank you. Great. Thomas, I saw you had your hand up. I don't know if you still have a question. Yeah, thanks. I'm sorry if I didn't hear it. It's not, I'm not hearing everything from the room, but the DOD grant that you all are applying for for sound mitigation. Does that DOD grant follow the same FAA map or do they have their own map that they are going off of? Yeah, great, great question. The OLDCC uses the FAA's noise modeling. So we're going to be using our same map for qualification of that. But it is a good point, though, there is a separate map that the Department of Defense uses that is different from the FAA and ORBAN. That map is part of the EIS, the Environmental Impact Statement. That is a different map, different process and procedures for that map. The only acceptable map for FAA funds and the OLDCC funds is the FAA's noise modeling map. Okay, great. Thank you. And both the mapping, the process, the timeline of the noise exposure map, Larry's updates to this as well as much more additional information. That's all located at btbsound.com as a dedicated website so everything can be seen. Not just our noise exposure map, but also our noise capability program, which is how things are defined, how we address noise. Yeah, I'm not sure if my question falls under the current conversation, but it's something that relates that I've been curious about as I'm driving through like the neighborhood, which I do all the time. I'm wondering, has there been any houses that did not qualify even though they were within the zone just due to their age or condition? No, all of the properties, especially between the 75 and 70, because we did that sample of acoustical testing, they have to give them all qualified. Now the caveat to that is if there are building codes that are not up to speed, we cannot go into that property until the code is fixed. And then we can go in and put the new window stores, walls, etc. And some people that people want to do the program until they see how I can go back. So there are still some people that can go back. Sorry, it broke up a little bit. Could you say again? So there were some people that didn't take us up on the offer at this time because they wanted to see other program called out and how other people received it and they have the potential to come back into the program. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I had understood that, but I just thought having had my own extremely old house on St. Paul's Street before I bought this one. And knowing that had I thought to, you know, even replace the windows, it would have potentially opened up a can of worms through the wall. So I just wondered if some people might not be, you know, taking us up on an incredibly good offer because they were concerned about, you know, how project creep that did not would not be included in the in the airports budget. Yeah, and that that very well is a plausible statement like, you know, each house is going to be highly unique and the highly individually designed for what products go in and what scope that they might have to perform on the property that we wouldn't be able to cover. Yeah. But to Larry's point, even if more whether it's a financial decision or, you know, it doesn't work out this year for their construction of the houses. They tend to not the program that particular year. They're still eligible and they can still participate in future years. All right, which is anything else on this compatibility. I have a couple of updates, a couple of past events that I'll share some status updates on. I'm going to hand it over to Jeff for a little bit for a status update on our Eclipse event happening on Monday. And then the focus of my presentation this month is going to be related to a recent transportation utility energy many often referred to as the two committee, which is a subset of the Burlington City Council that Larry and I presented at last week. So the first one is just the first slide there is just our partnership and we're going to have for you to share the screen in just a second. Our partnership with the state chamber, state chamber. We want to wish Betsy Bishop well wishes and her next endeavor. She's retiring. I'm not sure exactly but I think June. Jeff put together an amazing event. And we partnered with the chamber and we also had state treasure like pisha up to discuss a nice little coffee discussion if you will in our South concourse, which is a first time I remember having an event in the concourse of this nature. There's a couple pictures here where we set up the chairs and they had a nice conversation right where he 15 and 14 hours is pretty cool setup. We do we were opening things and opening the door to more and more of these types of events. So if anybody's listening watching, we want to use this. I hear the building to the community's benefit both free and post security. Dave and Jeff are working on a really cool new program to allow more of this type of to start to happen with seamlessly and using our security generally more efficiently as well so it's a really exciting shift in how we typically look at spaces here at the airport. So someone could get married. Someone absolutely can get married here again. We've had we've had a couple of weddings here right here on the Mexican to definitely open to that or a new building too. You should windows. Yeah, I used to have that one. Like every April. That's Monday. That's just a couple days away is our pretty massively complex but expertly managed April 8 eclipse event with multiple things happening here at the airport. I'll send it over to Jeff and and Dave if they want to take a piece of their events as they try to have a benefit. Yeah, yours is important. Yeah, ours. Yours is complex, mine's fine. Yeah, so we are right now, we're just gonna take a sales we're about 956 tickets out in the community right now for me close to that. We have a few trucks. We have an alcohol bar, we have two bands WCAX 72 their personalities help and see the event. We got a mini golf. We'll have a bunch of static displays. And so it's it's it's a lot of moving parts. We've had our gross income. If you include what he's working on for the entire eclipse around $50,000 in our hard expenses of probably 15 to 20. So we're recouping several costs that we put into the communities for other efforts in the eclipse. Awesome by enough fun saving the patient. It's going to be over on the West apron. We will. People parking the parking garage. We have three buses. I'm just confirmed the third. That's really running on rotation. And they're actually going to be taken on to the airfield because we're dissipating Wilson road is just going to be in the zoo. And that's just a lot of process. And we had to go through more to get off the NTSA brother to make it happen. But everybody at the airport has touched this event. It's been a true collaborative effort. But I think it's to be very successful and I guarantee good weather after the weather. So we're excited. So for the air, we're anticipating about a hundred and right now hundred and six additional aircraft, g a about that. That range from smaller drops to a boat. This is Jeff, which is seven, 37 private jets private jets. It's not a place for all those aircraft. So the journey that we can do that game. So what we've done is we've had meetings for the last month. We've had meetings up to this point and it means that they are traffic heritage. To make sure it's carried. To make sure that my house is raised. You know, it takes down the tax less. So we're going to plan. I think it's going to go smoothly. We have a notification by the ties. That they have a reservation to come in and park here at the airport on the ramps. And that's full. Actually close that. Because we're at the past. So what we don't know about this, perhaps somebody that hadn't made a reservation. And I think with all the tendencies, you know, thought of. So it's going to be a challenge and we're actually closing down. I'm moving parts like said, the expertly managed and in different capacities from, from a lot of people to a lot of planes. I don't remember every year about 130, 140 plus points being around that once along with the, the planes that are already stationed here plus an event. We have lots of protocols in place from security safety, which of course is a primary focus on every, every corner of the airport. Jeff and I also just got a notification because we are the largest commercial service for 139 f a regulated airport. In these eclipse zone in New England, Larry mentioned we're going to Nashville at the end of the month for a national airport conference. Jeff and I will be presenting at that conference talking about this eclipse event and how we work not just scheduling all of these things. How we work with the FAA and have their eyes on us right now. I will work with each entity. I hope they work with not just FAA, but the Department of Homeland Security. It truly is a lot of moving pieces and a lot of moving parts. It's going to be the fantastic, safe, secure and unique perspective of the airport that a lot of people have, which is pretty excited. And we have tickets here for anybody who's in the room that wants tickets. If you're on the call or any of the commissioners, let me know and I can email this to you as well. Since you're going to be presenting in Nashville, I imagine that you're going to try to capture the events. I mean, I'm just thinking the imagery of all those planes and all the people and music. I'm sure that drones are not allowed in the facility, but anything that we can do to capture that and demonstrate whether you're ex-dis or what we were talking about before with the LODCC, 17 million. People really start to see the airport as a pilot program for a lot of innovative things. That's a big arrow in our quiver. We have three photographers that are coming and then we're also coordinating to have a time-lapse video recorded of the entire event. So just stationary for two and a half hours, recording everything as it gets dark and light. That was actually mixed by the editing text. I want to talk to the point with it. It's like, yeah, we'll make it happen. We're so up in the mountains. It's going to be pretty spectacular. And it's beyond this room, right? There's lots of partners. Heritage aviation has been a whole lot to coordinate the restoration system that we needed. Overall, we'll see an oppressor release most likely tomorrow and then we'll start picking this up more and more and more. One, if you're a passenger here, get here early on Monday. You know, we always have to get here two hours early, but you definitely leave and to give yourself enough time because of course the eclipse is going to impact more than just this airport. Traffic is going to be very, very busy. Two, it's going to talk about we don't have any additional capacity for private aircraft anymore. Like Dave said, it planes land without participation. At the minute we built that into the contingency of additional parking. But the reservation system is closed. We are full, we are maxed out. And we will essentially be closed to right there. Along with, you know, we're still open, commercial operations still are moving with multiple planes in and out between 230 and 430. I think there's six total five or six in it. So it's going to be an exciting long team effort day with a lot of that from our main investors and operations team being here in many different ways. Pretty exciting. All right, quick snapshot of our statistics. So this month I did a little bit something a little bit different. I started to show a forecast of what the main year looks like with our passenger outbound numbers. You can see January and February are a little bit lower than some of the past years, definitely lower than 2019 by about 2000 passengers, 3,000 passengers. Yeah, 4,000 passengers from 2019. The dash blue line that goes through this chart here is a projected passenger number outbound passengers. What's really exciting about this is you can start seeing a pick up really from March moving forward to April, definitely into May and the rest of the summer. These numbers are based on real real airplane schedules. Of course, those schedules change usually definitely can change six plus months out. This is also not the number of seats being projected. This is about 82% of those number of seats filled as minor or average low factors for the last year is close to 89%. This is only a time for 82% of those seats that are scheduled right now. At the end of the calendar year 2024 are projected numbers around 750,000 outbound passengers, which would be our second highest number since 2000. So we're watching this very closely. The numbers, especially the numbers for all our airlines are increasing. Like I said, after May, I'm saying about highest percentage increases is American Airlines at 40% increased seating capacities over 2019. So these are really, really big numbers. And it's consistent with one, we have high load factors in our planes are already full, we need more seats to accommodate the demand region and that that's exactly what the forecast is showing. And now we need to sell those seats to make sure that these numbers too. And I can add to that with the marketing team for breeze last week, they are extremely happy with how full those plants are. So those programs are up there. We can start even the Raleigh Jacksonville. It's like, that has to start again, it's pretty awesome. And as you might hear that starts May 22 12 of the press release conference on that particular day. Hi, this is the next couple of slides here I'll try to prove to us as quickly as you can and of course stop me if there's any questions. This is the presentation that was reported to the South Committee of the city council, the two committee. Last week, Larry and I were there presenting with Colonel Finnegan, the for my international art with commander. He also was there presenting some of his information. And the objective of the presentation was a reminder of where we are sustainability programs in our greenhouse gas missions reporting. And we reported this. And as you can see, this is multiple logos ago on this particular report, but this is our 2019 sustainability report. This was produced as part of our 2019 master plan process and use data prior to 2019, of course. And it's a long term commitment to make sure that we're hitting all of these bullet point topics as part of our sustainability program. And that led into an update of our sustainability and or precisely our greenhouse gas emissions reporting for all greenhouse gas emissions. Just a step back real quick birds eye view of the country of the US, one of the really important things that we talked about in the committee and now view is the transportation sector of the United States and what that total greenhouse gas emissions contribution is from a United States perspective. The environmental protection agency just released this, this snapshot this picture on the top left corner, which is a massive, massive work that just came out that just actually closed a public comment period on this this book about two weeks ago and this this has many, many details about all of the pie sections of this pie chart. Transportation of this pie chart is equate as far part of these numbers, equating to 29% of the total US greenhouse gas emissions numbers. And that 29% you can see in the top right corner aircraft contribute 8% of greenhouse gas emissions. And when you look at it over time to the US sector is doing really well. There's a lot that could be done a lot of really important things that needs to be done to decrease that number for for specifically for aircraft operations. But when you look at the bottom left chart, you're looking at a 1992 current greenhouse gas emissions inventory, if you will, or CO2 equivalent number 1992 today aircraft decreased 17% of total greenhouse gas emissions. That means we're doing good. But again, really important that I said that there's a lot more to do. And we Verlington want to be a part of that, that next step of what we can contribute to this bottom right report is actually an even updated version. This comes directly from the document in the picture here, which just was released again showing Jack fuel specifically of 218 metric tons of CO2 equivalent versus those prior years and then all the way through 1990. This is an EPA report. The next slide is talking about specifically the aviation climate action plan. This was released back in 2021 by the federal aid and by the Department of Transportation, working with the federal aviation administration. This is now talking about what can we do what can we input into the aviation system to decrease significantly greenhouse gas emissions. The answer in the commitment of the FAA is to introduce a standable aviation fuel into the United States. You can see on that chart and bottom right hand corner that the line graph that you follow the green debt, which was covered. If you follow that green debt up and follow the red line that goes all the way to the top. That's if there's no change to technology, no change to fuel. Nothing changes with the aviation sector, as far as greenhouse gas emissions reduction goes. That of course that's going to increase pretty dramatically through 2050. As you start looking at this line, the more you introduce to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, airline fleet renewal, new aircraft, better and better engines and energy use. New aircraft technology in those engines that decreases that line to 2050 operational improvements. That also means FAA air traffic improvements as far as their flight style. And then the green both dashed in solid areas introduce sustainable aviation fuel at a reduced rate and then a full break into the market. A significant, significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions through aviation aircraft specifically emissions. We've talked a little bit about sustainable aviation fuel in this group through heritage aviation heritage has been a great partner of ours to get that commodity at this airport to introduce it into the market. The fuel itself is missable. So we don't need new infrastructure. We don't need that blended fuel that can go directly through heritage aviation in their current infrastructure capacity. The problem right now is it's a very difficult commodity to get to, especially on the East Coast. Most of the manufacturing right now happens on the West Coast, which can see over time since 2016 when it was really starting to be discussed in the United States. Little, little, little was being invested towards sustainable aviation fuel. And just last year that estimated number of 26 million dollars per curing of sustainable aviation fuel and that's only going to increase as the commodity is more, more readily available. And we're at the United States, especially at the East and Northeast. Pause here just for a second because the next couple slides are related just to us. So this might be a question or some of these report. Nick, thank you very much for that. That was that's really inspiring to see visually what is possible. A couple of questions that I have on the chart on the lower right that goes to 2050. I'm assuming that the light green, the dotted green, that's almost unattainable. Is that accurate or are we talking about a zero emission possibility? This is the goal of the FAA to be a zero emission possibility for aviation and so through all of these methods, but clearly the big one is introducing the sustainable aviation fuel into mostly commercial airline markets. That's that's where the majority of the fuel is in the industry. So introducing that fully and eliminating jet jet fuel would create a zero emissions number. The goal of the FAA is to do that by 2050. That's really exciting. They have a goal so many gallons by 2030 and the 2050 goal. We're probably getting too far to the weeks. Do any of you know what that process is? I mean to get zero emissions on something that had a high emission content, it would seem as if the that there would be a huge difference in the quality of the material that you're being used, which obviously it can't be. It needs to be it needs to be high performance. Substance. I'm just wondering, do you have any idea what that process is? No, a slight idea of the process of creating the fuel itself, but not the full picture yet of what that actually looks like. You know, yes, right now this is interchangeable fuel planted fuel so you can you can bring this in. But what I'm not too familiar is how that works in the actual aircraft and what aircraft are involved of using that fuel right now, so if you were talking small jets or the way to the commercial airlines, and that's where that technology and certification of the sanctions is going to play, but I'm not. Nick, the, so one of the places that that you can actually see the airplanes that are flying around right now at any given moment all the way around the globe is on the IKO website for sustainability for sustainable fuel. I can put it in the chat. It's kind of cool because they the section you can dive deep into their website and you can be there for hours, but we use it at the college to show the students kind of what's coming. And there's there's lots of different fuels being tested, but the ones that are in the market that are being mixed and used right now you can tell what airplanes in the world that are actually flying on them and several of the legacy carriers here in the United States are already using those fuels. That's great. Yeah, I can or the international civil aviation organization is another great partner at good point or I'm involved partner of the FNA and that collaboration of that 2030 goal of a reduction of that of course the 20th and eight zero and there are it's tough to see on the shared screen but on the document itself there are some links associated with this both to the FAA sustainability page as well as these particular documents as well. I'm just curious about that transformation of the of the product size. One thing I think of that similar is like that. I mean that that's supposedly a corn based transformation that was supposed to be great but then all of a sudden there were some externalities and impacts on the engines and now some people don't even want to use that. You have my list on my list of things to read do is get on this beat on how to make any Patrick stuff, but a lot of people would be coming for grease trash and rational search like that, you know, and you can imagine the certification and the regular influences for jet engines is going to be. But you can also see in that chart on the top right that that it's happened relatively quick. And that's right. Well, my question is going to be in this probably stat, you don't know that's like, yeah, so it's 26 million out of what right. It's got to like 0.01% to 0.1% or normal, you know, normal jet sales. Yeah, that's what it's like. It looks great, but like it could be like this much. I didn't say charts. Great. So, if there's no other question about those, I can keep moving forward. So this is our inventory, but pretty fast gas emissions. We separate them by scope one scope two and scope three. Why don't we skip two slides ahead and you can do the one scope on two three years. Yeah, that's right. So scope one is the sentence recognition sources that are already controlled by VBB, such as fuel use to power the import vehicles facilities scope do is direct conditions associated with producing purchasing electricity for heating and cooling powering the facilities of those two together. We actually control here on site is about 1% of the pie. The other 99% is aircraft taxi taking off and landing. And I forget to what this is, is it peak out? Yes, if we go up one. Yeah, so, yeah, reach out. Yeah, so scope one and two is everything we can control buildings and electricity and fuel they use in this building and within our own that type of thing. So scope three is like what I said 99% of all of our greenhouse gas emissions when we when we see that inventory of the of all of the emissions you can see the top three lines of this bar graph aircraft cruise aircraft landing and takeoff operations and aircraft auxiliary power units are all coming from essentially running the engines of aircraft and in some form aircraft landing and takeoff operations is exactly that that is everything that is 3000 feet and below to landing and then taking off and run way up to 3000 feet. What is the greenhouse gas coming emissions coming from that operation. Typically, we do not study anything beyond 3000 feet elevation. And that's defined and not regulated but recommended by the Airport Council National which goes through the accreditation process which we currently are going to go on that process. However, we decided that we do want to study all the entire cruise of the greenhouse gas emissions coming out of the man to Burlington. But I think about this, this board has talked about it must have been probably a year ago, as well as to committee so that aircraft cruise is 3000 feet from this airport all the way to 3000 feet to the destination airport and vice versa. So studying all of that greenhouse gas emissions, aircraft auxiliary power unit is literally the auxiliary unit are generally here that they're running on the planet. So those three components themselves equates pretty much you can see pretty much 90% of that five chart from the previous number. Those include from our National Guard operations as well as our forecasted operations or operations for all other aircraft at that time. An important note is we're calling this our 2019 greenhouse gas emissions report or inventory. Our 2018 was our peak year, especially for building operations passengers and all the above so it was really really important for us to look at what our benchmark was what our highest level was so we can, we can look at that from there. Also, there's a lot of people, the whole team for me, myself and everybody, everybody, Madison hours and hours, getting all this information for this report to speed up. A lot of effort went into it and it's going to continue because there's so more and more to do. Oh, so then so operations though, it's really important to know that especially when we're talking about military operations. A question that has come up is, well, why are we starting 2019 aircraft operations of our service is up. And if you if you recall 2019 was the transition of at 16 staff 35. What we actually didn't study 2019 military operations this includes 2022 military operations we have a little bit of both to make sure that we're we're creating that benchmark at a high level where we actually are. And so we have a bunch of like this really great means to go on the next slide and online for viewers and for yourselves. We do have a link. It's a little tough to see there but in that box down there, I can edit the link to our to the actual report, which is just a cover of it. The entire inventory, which is about a 40 page report on all of the details of these individual items. Do you just want to base a little bit on the first book there the airport Council of International ACA program, or the airport carbon accreditation program. We have a seven step program of accrediting airports in the entire world. They're the sole accreditation of airports for carbon reduction. We are going to be part of that inventory and we have submitted our requests to be accredited at what's called level one, which is the mapping the inventory making sure we understand what our base plan. I think we have had an independent person certified this patient. So that's going to get that person. Yeah, we have the HP the consultant that made this report with ourselves and then we need to put it first said, did we all look at the right information to get that proper benchmark. In the future, our goal is to receive multiple levels of accreditation so that we can continue not just mapping it or inventory and but actually reducing our goals. Scope one and two are really where we are folks, we need countries held sustainable aviation can't we can't do that and run to ourselves. But scope one and two, when we build new buildings, for example, we need to make sure we're putting in the proper utilities like geothermal and solar and mass timber, and that's what we can control to reduce our numbers. And that's all going to come out of this this entire process. This isn't just the one and done document this is going to be a living, breathing document and predication process in perpetuity can't stop so that we can produce our goals. And the other important thing is, but all that we do do a cost benefit analysis all those items what we are doing building the latest stuff. So we're making sure we're not doing a worse definite that what we wouldn't just get a bowl. So, just just for reference, that accreditation process is not easy to do. We, we are going to be one of a few airports in the country to go through this process. In fact, there are 44 airports in the United States that are threatening in one of the levels. And then we, once we get our level one accreditation will be the second airport in New England to receive our accreditation. The point in the United States for accreditation. So it's a very difficult process and then a commitment of all of us to make sure we're doing this. And there is a total of 151 reports in the entire world. That are now accredited and we're, we're hoping to be about 50 days. And the remaining slides are just kind of a quick update in the next set way of how we're building your sustainability projects. We were joined by Senator Lay. Former Mayor, Mrs. Lay, you can see in the picture. Former city council president Karen all airport mission chair, Karen George, as well as the. And we had a great time displaying our project next facility at the 3 March 20th press event. We, we shared for the first time with the community that remaining slides on this presentation. And really highlighted what the next is going to look like, both from a bird's eye view and then there's a couple of three models in this in this building as well we shared with the mission prior to the event. And we updated a couple of them and here they are. We have a URL on our website project next, you can watch the video walkthrough of their other records. And that is one. Thank you. Yeah, Nick. I'm wondering, thank you for the report. I'm wondering if you could share a little bit about I don't know if the same report on sustainability and climate change was presented to Duke. There have been some policy objectives in terms of addressing climate change a little more aggressively my unfortunate takeaway from your presentation was. While I appreciate efforts, you know, are being undertaken in progress being made. We control a such a small piece of that overall picture. I'm hypothesizing that didn't go over particularly well at Duke. But I wasn't in the room, so I don't want to, I don't know. If you gave the same presentation and if just a sort of a. Advanced warning, you know, were there other policies or things that they were in discussion that we should be aware of that may be coming down the pike. Yeah, good question. The other presentation to us was there were more slides associated with more of the details that also is available on city clerk on the March 26 to committee meeting. Generally, though, the conversation was really well received. Very, very similar comment. Right. We only control 1%. Look at the 99%, which is, which is aircraft operations. But the, the, the conversation was this is why we really need to maintain our progress and are committed to sustainable aviation fuel and it really was. committee members. Also lessons learned. So things we do to share with other parts of the city when they consider this stuff that we're doing. Like, like geothermal as we're going through our geothermal construction, the sharing of the material and testing and whatnot for policy work that either the Duke or the council or other builders can benchmark off of us is something that we're really committed to sharing. The cost of that review stuff like that. Great. Thank you. Another point to your question tip is part of the conversation that to get the request to present at to was also to fulfill the city council resolution that was passed. I don't remember the date, but it was over a year ago that it was passed. Committee, the city, the airport, end of the law Air National Guard to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in some capacity. The resolution did spell out that they would utilize augmented reality training systems more often than flying aircraft. And I think it's best if kind of re presented that but he did explain the technology that was available and the technology wasn't available for that to actually happen, but committed to making sure that the air guard was also committed with the city of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They were the first geothermal field on this airport. They was set were going to be the third geothermal field. They were the first to have a massive solar field in with the passage of the new lease agreement. They were recommitted based on available funds. Now, because of that we suspension that there are any investing that into battery storage capacity for the fire department and other various programs. So that was also a big part of the two conversation, making sure the resolution, and if they were called a memorandum of understanding as part of the agreement that it was all being continually discussed. Thank you. I can't tell if you're looking at me. I have no further questions. I don't know if anyone else is. So I'm sure any of anything else. Close it down. I didn't take mission rights. Any items from missionaries this month. Yeah. Moving on to 11 follow up items. I think we did not. It didn't make the general but we had the timing of the funds to the BTC reserve fund. If you were going to look into the last one. Yes, sir. Don't put it out. No, I said it's not your response. But beyond, yes, you'll just follow up with us separately on that. And anything commissioners want to add as a follow up item from this meeting. Before you go to a journey response point out the date of the next meeting is made eight instead of a first. So that is a one week delay for a normal meeting time. I'm going to point that out. And with that, we'll take a motion to adjourn. Someone has been made rights for a second. Second. Thank you. Does anyone not want to adjourn? Well, I'll take it as you have speedy, hard return. Thank you.
