 agenda on my phone so okay I can share my screen if that helps and you'll be able to see the full agenda that would be great for me I'm happy to try to great thanks here so call the meeting to order for 11 p.m. first agenda item is to have the motion to approve the agenda that we accept agenda as as presented I will second that thanks all in favor I okay we have an agenda anybody in public form hearing none we'll move on to the approval of the minutes minutes have been distributed yeah I move to approve the minutes of February 17th 2021 as presented I'll second that all right in favor hi hi and it's been approved just one thing I wanted to ask about the implements data is there I wanted to look at the data and sort of a year over year basis and I was curious to know if I could get the Excel document that backs up the PDF yeah absolutely most of this Tim is is literally pulling from this chart right here the year over year yeah versus month year over year data us and that's what that chart does but yeah this is this is exactly what it is it's just a pretty large Excel file yeah if you wouldn't mind sending that to me I just wanted what I want to chart is for the percentage change year over year so absolutely build it myself and send you back the file you like to kick down and we could also incorporate that as well in the future ones if oh that would be great yep perfect okay thank you Nick yep Tim are you offering yourself up to all of us who might have Excel questions one well I do it for a living this I'll do for free all right anything else Nick or anybody else wants to add to the employment numbers no I think I think you got most of it I you know I think the recovery is the recovery is on its way right you can see this is January months it's it's not in apples to apples with a normal schedule obviously because of COVID January 2020 of course we have not we did not hit the COVID restrictions that the state of Vermont put on so as you go through and you that's where you'll see it March with about half the implements April what's pretty interesting is you can see that that trend line almost identical to the normal trend line and regular years which is which is pretty interesting to look at and then the recovery is is approaching even in March and April the airline schedule has has changed and we'll start seeing that in May and beyond as the months go on Nick did you talk about the difference between just last week and this week and the week before you know we're going up you know from I think we were hit 900 to 2000 now we're at 2800 and you know certainly we're in school vacation mode so some of that is because of that but you know what's really nice is be the conversations we've had with the airlines you know we had one today with jet blue and everybody has gone ho for coming back to Burlington and understands what we've been through you know we we've had the lowest desk I believe in the country and that's reflective of the actions we've taken that have an adverse effect on our business but we do believe it's going to bounce back pretty aggressively and we're talking July you should see a more normal month good to hear very standing in that direction Jeff monger is should be online in just a second as well there he is thanks for the text Jeff can you hear us Jeff monger Jeff we don't hear you I don't know if you're hearing us and you can you hear me now we hear you know we don't see and I get this you hear us Jeff this is not fun it won't there Jeff we're hearing you are you not hearing us shelly you still here Shelby vaguely Jeff can you hear us what don't we keep hoping he can all right go ahead keep going I just can't seem to get the video working okay we do hear you Jeff if you hear us thanks Jeff okay next item on our agenda action Chamberlain school HVAC upgrade Larry is that you or Nick yeah I can I can give a brief background on that it's pretty a pretty detailed in the memo there but just to reiterate some history a couple years ago we did an acoustical test of the Chamberlain elementary school in South Burlington this of course was part of the noise mitigation program and the first facility that we did an acoustical test as part of the noise insulation program the school was not eligible for a full noise insulation package however so that they can keep the windows closed and keep the interior noise levels low they were eligible for an HVAC upgrade so that's what this contract is just earlier this year we went out to bid for an HVAC system upgrade as well as a grant that was awarded for a hundred percent funding of this project East ECI came in at the lower lower bid at about one point nine million dollars with the contingency in there and that's what we're requesting today to move forward for a contract approval and to move this project forward we are on schedule for construction for this summer when the students are out of session it did come in as far as what we applied for a grant significantly below what the price was to so our grant easily covers this okay so and will all the construction be done this summer will it be completed yes okay so aren't any questions I was just going to make the formal motion to to move to approve and recommend to the city council the tenor into a contract with angle of construction for the Chamberlain school work their second all second all second all second okay any more discussion okay all those in favor I anyone opposed I great I assume that all in favor passes unanimously all right chair Munger are you prepared to we see you we hear you okay you take over on item number six sure I'll try it looks like we're looking for Marie for the financial package very good I'll take it away then so you have this month's financial package thank you very much Nick this is helpful so the first thing I have here is just a quick summary of we received 8.7 million dollars in our first cares act and this is how we've been spending it so as of we got a we got a bunch of money yesterday from the FAA so everything that we have on there has actually been paid and drawn down which is fantastic we have 2.5 million dollars remaining out of that 8.7 that we started with and the which we will continue to spend as the year progresses after we do that we are we were awarded four million dollars in the second round of stimulus money and so I talk about that a little bit for below we are anticipating we've applied for we've been allocated the money for this grant under the formulation that the FAA has conducted and we are anticipating receiving this grant whenever they send them out we know it they will be sending it out we don't know whether it's in a week but the good news is we're able to update I can update just a little bit there has been a congressional notification that was sent out yesterday or the day before which is a really good indication that this is this four million dollar cursa grant is approaching. Thank you that's excellent and in addition we will be able to regardless of the date we receive the grant it goes back we can apply it toward expenses that go back to the end of December so we will we still have bandwidth when our current grant to cover upcoming expenses for the next couple of months so we are positioned pretty well and in addition the money that just got approved at the end of last week so we're talking about five six days ago by the Congress and Senate does have some provisions in there for airports. We are going to be we are hopeful and expecting it looks like we will be able to get some additional stimulus money under that we have not been it's too early for us to have been told there's you know some preliminary numbers but it potentially could be certainly more than the second package so and and maybe even closer to the first package so we don't really know yet and I want to be careful about saying what we're getting because we don't know what we're getting until they go through the formulation the calculations and give us a formal notification on that so that's just something that is looking is that part of the state grant no this is separate this is the bite in package that they just came out with you know the what is it how many trillion was it that the big pack yeah how many yeah 1.9 or something yeah we don't we don't get anything hell in from the state the state we get about a half a million dollars a year but no stimulus money at all from the state right in the state grant from that was about a billion okay but this is separate okay yeah we don't get any assistance they okay the federal government the debt coverage score that we have we are about 1.47 as of the end of January that does take into account these monies that you're seeing on the chart that we're getting under the cares act the year-to-date revenues for January were they're about compared if you remove the cares act money for a minute we're about six million dollars less than we were a year ago year-to-date on our revenue so that is the effect of just having so fewer people fly or landing these are down a garage revenues are down and you know I sort of lay out and hear the the biggest shifts and that we have seen in year compared to prior years with our revenues so the garage we can see elicit it out oh whoops the I take that back the operating revenues are approximately seven point seven million dollar lower from prior year the largest revenue changes our parking fees are about three point one million dollars lower car rental come this is through January so seven months rental cars about a million almost one point one million cfcs are seven hundred and eighty five thousand dollars lower and landing fees are seven hundred and eight thousand dollars lower so you know you have the profit and loss all the revenues and expenses so you compare all the lines you know as you as you like to do that the experience through the end of January or the beginning that's through the end of January through January 31st so it's including seven months of our revenues the expenses year to date are seven million and seventy six thousand right now that's about a million dollars lower if you look at compared to a year ago and some of that has to do with timing of expenses last year we were you know and I think we'll we'll see that that not be as maybe not be as as big next month and some that just has to do with timing of repairs and timing of when we pay for de-icing or even when we order the winter as we started was not quite as bad as we would see in the typical year so some of those expenses didn't happen through the end of January but we've seen some of those things some of those bills coming in as we started to get snow and started to have those invoices coming in we're seeing some of those things come through a little bit higher in February so but still we are definitely trending lower spending less money this year than we did last year on our operating expenses where it makes sense so I sort of list out the largest areas that we have seen the decreases in and you know why you know maintenance repair and maintenance our equipment repairs we haven't had quite as many things break this year we are spending less in marketing and our salaries a little bit lower and our overtime is definitely lower so again we track these month by month because things like overtime if we have a lot of need to call the the guys in the maintenance crew and they're not a guy so the maintenance crew and to do snow removal we have to keep things safe and we will continue to do that so we have months that are higher and overtime than we will see in other months the next bullet is talking about the aip receivable that was at the as of February 28th it was about 3.5 million dollars I can tell you we just received two and a quarter million dollars from the FAA yesterday and I anticipate by the end of this week or early next week we'll receive about another uh 270 thousand dollars so we're constantly we these are reimbursement grants so we put in those requests so we spend the money we pay the vendors or pay the invoices and then we submit to the FAA for reimbursement and we do not owe any money right now under the grant anticipation note the cash update so as of February 28th we had 11.1 million dollars in our airport in our main checking account and we did not owe the city any money the next bullet is talks a little bit we had a lot of activity going on um with the bond refinancing and yesterday we officially closed on those bonds so they were sold last week and I wanted to communicate sort of the high level items that were important that I thought you might be interested in in the bond so they were they were pretty well received in the market these are taxable just that how we had to deal with this time because we're refunding existing bonds so we didn't have an option to do them as non-taxable like municipals normally do um the let's see we are postponing the the fundamental of two years of debt principle and interest we have a little bit of interest that will be paying the second year in but we've been able to postpone those payments and we we bonded for them essentially and we'll be paying small amounts out each year our bond payments that will make each and every year will be very very stable and be very level and then the last two years um we'll have the biggest part of the payoffs we have another bond that'll be falling off those payments and so we're able to um again keep them pretty level and stable as we go forward the average coupon price on these bonds that we sold and just closed on yesterday was 2.9 percent that is the coupon uh you know the average actual cost that we will be paying and uh so the next bullet in order to sell the bonds we had them rated by moody's and i'd included the number of things at the end of the package or as part of the package so i have a chart here moody's they were very optimistic it was a very good meeting that we had with them and they affirmed our airport credit rating which is baa2 and they gave us uh affirmed our stable outlook i gave you a chart there so you can see because for those uh it's interesting to look at where we were back in 2012 and where we have gone forward you know there were some tough years financially for the airport and that was not viewed very well by the rating agencies that um even in the middle of a pandemic and everything else moody's had a lot of very positive recognize where the airport is today and how well prepared we were coming into our solo for example our cash reserves and all of the things that have been done to mitigate the effects and the risk of the unknown certain uncertainty of the covid so i've included those things i've also thought it might be interesting there was a press release the mayor did so i've included that i thought you'd be interested to read that and if you in case you didn't see that come out in another way and i also included the moody moody's rating because i thought that would be very interesting as well does anybody have any questions on those sorts of things so you have the rest of the packet is what i normally do um the profit and loss summary is through the end of january the aip receivable and the cash are through the end of february and our debt coverage score that you see before you is through the end of january so those are the highlights of the financial information for this month anybody have any questions yeah i just wanted for moody so did do i remember correctly that you had said once this these new bonds got issued that we wouldn't be tracking the debt coverage score anymore you're correct tim and you have a good memory so for this current year that we are in fiscal year 2021 which ends june 30th we do have a requirement of a debt coverage service score and that is because we make our payments on the principal and interest we actually make them on the first day of the year the biggest portion of our payment so we that's a long gone we did that july 1st and again january 1st we would have paid interest so we paid all of our debt service that was required this year so we are absolutely subject to the debt coverage score calculation starting in july of so 2021 so fiscal year 22 of the year that's coming up we will have no debt so we will have no debt score calculation there's no there's no calculation to be made under under the bond covenant so we got a bit of a reprieve and time to recover fully from as the the the pandemic comes you know gets less and comes to an end or however that plays out we do anticipate having quite a rise in the payments but it will take some time to get back to the full levels that we were at right and then once we start making payments under the new bonds then we would resume some type of liquidity ratio again right or no correct okay okay thank you yeah and we'll still be able to calculate things like debt debt you know i'm not dead days cash on hand there'll be some liquidity issues that they will be looking at the rating agencies will continue to want to see where we are and remaining strong but the debt coverage score we will get that will be a mute point for a little bit okay thank you any other questions so do I have a motion to accept Marie's report and place it on file so moved do I have a second second all in favor hi hi um 6.02 is our construction update uh I assume that Larry is um on board yes um fairly minimal because of our you know just having our last meeting and then the one in between so I'll just go right quickly um so the and just in the last couple days with the good weather we're seeing we will be starting the air carrier ramp apron phases seven dash one and six a next week that's new since I posted this update so that's good news we've got everything worked out with the funding in the the contract is waiting for gene to sign tomorrow so we're we're starting to move next week um moving down through um the the tip project is progressing um we actually gene signed all the permit applications today uh best you know if everything goes perfectly um word hopes um with regard to you know notification periods and all that to have all permits within the next 90 days and then start start construction um we are before the um South Burlington DRB on April 6th for a for a sketch plan review and then in turn we'll be ready right after that to submit for preliminary and final um uh flat review um for that uh new security system we uh went through some things with by American we had to meet certain thresholds with the FAA we finally got that noticed and that got approved a couple days ago so that uh project is now going to move forward in the next couple weeks so we'll be getting the new security system um Nick talked about the Chamberlain school we've had our pre-construction meeting we had to give a limited notice to proceed because some of the items were long lead items with regard to the the equipment that needs to be placed at Chamberlain so we've we've real we've we've started we've started that work preliminarily to get the contractor to start to be able to order things so we meet that that little timeframe we have this summer to get this project done um found installation project um I could talk a little bit about that Larry yeah go for it yeah yeah uh so so a couple of updates uh Chamberlain of course is part of that project and you've you've already heard about that uh in multiple ways tonight the sound monitoring system uh we are moving forward contractually with Vector is the company that we're working with uh they'll be the ones working with the Jones pain group which I think you'll you'll find is a familiar name uh one of our major consultants that helps us with the sound program to install these noise monitors uh we are looking and we'll continue to work actually with mayor lot and her team as well as the city of south Burlington uh and the city of Williston on staging or setting up these physical sound monitoring systems and the back end which is a web portal online so that people can visually see the noise monitoring that's expected to be implemented both online and physically in the field by July uh and available to the public um the sound insulation uh project itself uh is moving forward very quickly we we uh heard from the FAA that they actually are allowing us to move forward with some design work only uh which we weren't expecting this year but it will set us up really nicely uh later this year and into next year and what that means is not only are we moving forward with the 10 house pilot program design working with the homeowners and construction of those 10 houses for a grant this year but also the design work of the next 50 houses uh and and that would set us up for a construction grant for next year to construct those 50 houses as well as design the next 50 houses and that's that rotation every single year we also are working with the department of defense and I forgive me I always forget the name of the the branch that we're working with the acronym is OLDCC the the branch of the DOD they they have set aside or appropriated 50 million dollars nationwide to be used as for joint use airfields just like ourselves and we're working with them to see if we can capture a significant amount of funding so that we can move forward with even even more houses every year and and again working with Vermont gas systems to capture the 10 percent this DOD funding would take us even beyond that uh that uh five million or so dollars a year I think I covered everything yeah go ahead can I ask oh just a second um Jeff Munger yeah I just want to make sure you know that we heard you loud and clear at the last meeting about that 10 percent and you know uh fed funds and fed funds and yeah not not being and we have uh we have mentioned that to the DOD we have mentioned that to the FAA everybody just so you know Jeff we listened to you we vented it with them and they're aware you know of your concerns and your mention what did they say more important what I got was yes but and so I think they're working it out they're trying to figure out how to do that and uh they didn't have an answer Jeff so yes you were a hundred percent right but that appears that change is being made there are some examples that they said that they have done before and uh they would get back to us so um I think that's good news yeah and well I just want you to know we heard you I hate to have you thinking in your head that you would have to say it again because I really did hear you and um and I you know the next day I called everybody and made them aware of your concerns so um we what I also got Jeff was that were a long ways from this being solidified you know the details and what I heard from DOD is it could be as much as two years um and it doesn't mean that the project's going to slow down it just means we're going to be working with Vermont Gas longer and as soon as they do Nick has a lot of thoughts I mean the guy is about his creatives creative gets to utilize the department of defense dollars and he's already started talking to um the FAA about an acceptance of different procedures and ways to move forward in this project so that we can accelerate the project and do more more quicker and uh it doesn't mean like anything was approved but been great conversation and one thing uh Nick Longo doesn't lack is imagination and creativity um I mean when the stuff that comes out of his mouth I just like where did that come from and it came from just not being afraid to think and dream and so uh he's done very well for us and just uh just to kind of detail just a little bit of what Gene is talking about uh while it would be really great to have that that um redundant way of funding the 10 share so to speak what not only with Vermont Gas Systems but with the DOD funding what we're thinking is if we can capture the 90 federal we already have a great partnership with Vermont Gas Systems to fund the 10 share why not look at designing all 2600 houses or those that are eligible right now using the DOD funds so that we can get ahead of the game and then when we ask the FAA for construction funding then the 90 and the 10 percent from FAA and Vermont Gas respectively is already available to us using the DODs to get ahead of the game so that's that's an alternative that we're that we're playing with and like Gene said it may take some time okay I have to go ahead Helen no you can finish and then I just wanted to say I you know I there's a lot of things that what I realize is we do a terrible job telling you the day-to-day details of the things that we're working on because every day they change but just why you know there's all sorts of creativity and you know Helen I just want you to know we do listen to self-growing to know when new skis you know concerns and every day we advocate for those so you know that's part of what Nick is talking about you know sometimes you know people make the airport like it's the evil do or it's actually God's gift to this earth you know that we're able to go out and get all these federal funds and then leverage the position that we have in our community ends up benefiting it's not the airport you know so it would be terrible to have all the sound that we have and have no instrument so again I just want to you know say Nick thank you Shelby Larry you know for everything you're doing to make this come through go ahead Helen yeah I just had a question to clarify in terms of the noise that the monitors will be monitoring is that just commercial noise or does it include the military jets it includes every single aircraft that okay so it's a physical microphone essentially out in the field that's going to pick up that noise that the difference is you know you're going to get a lot of ambient noise fire trucks regular street traffic all that type of stuff what this does is it takes that noise and associates it with radar data so that you know it's coming from an actual aircraft and that's the visual display that that's going to be available to the public would you like to exclude the jets or not because it will be nothing to listen to that is true so what's up the fire engines right so point of clarification are these outside or the inside structures they're exterior they're exterior structure should think of a trailer if you will it's a small box it's it's it's it's a permanent so to speak box that's set on the ground and then it's an exterior microphone that's pretty much on a small okay but it can be moved around correct yeah it doesn't it's mobile in that sense it's mobile but it's also solar operated so cool um you know it's actually very very movable um so you know that's part of the plan uh that you know nick and uh worked on is making the mobile in the eyes of the FAA it is a permanent structure but they they do have wheels so that we can uh uh perform maintenance on them as well okay great thank you right um so i'll continue along i'm the only other thing whoops um the only thing i would mention on that is the current 10 and 50 home package um we have the scope and fee to move that forward we're going through the independent fee estimate process to get that approved and are already uh preparing the grant application to get that moving forward so we're not waiting um for our may one or whatever we're going to get done as soon as possible um 10 the environmental assessment uh just learned this week from nick you talk the FAA that that's probably going to be taken off the table for this year which is not such a bad thing because basically the projects we have in the future might be able to go through that type of process at a lower level uh that's called a categorical exclusion so not all bad news that we aren't going to get that grant this year but it might allow us that we don't have to go such through such a extensive process for the projects we have identified so that's that's the come um the stormwater and UIC um uh proposals that you approved in our interim meeting um have um are all set approved by city council and um I am we're drafting the contracts and those contractors are already moving forward because we have a strict deadlines for April 1 deadline so we'll get the contracts taken care of this week um hot spot remediation project um and papi relocation uh we're 90% drawings as of yesterday and um we will uh be out to bid in a couple of weeks with the pre-bid conference on April 8 with pricing back April 28 for a May 1 grant application um NOAA national weather service terminal renovations um projects out to bid um we had three contractors now it appears we have two more additional five interested so we push back the deadline for bids from next Tuesday to next Thursday to allow them to get into the the space this week um and so we'll have pricing next week to to move that forward Nick already spoke about the monitoring equipment and if that's all I got does anybody have any questions for me well here in Nunn do I have a motion to accept the construction update and uh place it on file so move last second held in you seconded yep all right all in favor hi hi uh item 7.01 would be the south purlington update okay the only thing I have to report is we're right now going through a um very active um phase of working with the ccr rpc the chitlin county regional planning commission um around the interchanges on um 89 and one of the questions asked um at a meeting and we had break was cool we had breakout meetings um all the counselors broke out one of those meetings with charlie baker and we were asked to to really think about are there other criteria that should be included and one of the things that I thought was missing so I suggested they included is to use a criteria that talks about um each of the different options and there are four um how that would improve uh transportation movement to and from the airport I realized I was told that that you guys aren't actively involved in these conversations because you have submitted a plan that has a whole another um option to connect with the interstate farther north but from my perspective and south purlington's I thought it was important and for the airport frankly to make sure that whatever um tens of millions of dollars of improvements um that are suggested can have might have a real positive effect um for airport um um access ellen yes somebody gave you some bad information um we have been very actively involved in all intersections and I put and have put on record that we support all of them um what we don't want to do is get into some political horseshoe um you know about you know going back and forth and what's right for our community we will benefit from any one of those intersections and we do not have a dog in the game as far as the likelihood of you getting FAA funds for a north exit out of the airport is probably not in my lifetime or in yours or in anybody on the phone so we um really believe that any intersection will be good for south burlington and will be good for the airport what is good for you is good for us so somebody gave you very bad information we have talked to charlie and his team and that is what we have let them know that we support each and every one of them nick longo and larry have even gone so far to gone given them some affordable connection points um and we were very very involved in interactive and inexpensive solutions um we've gotten very creative again you know nick and larry are just crazy great with ways to make things work if there isn't enough money then there's a couple other ways to do it so uh that's just uh not the case what you heard it's just the opposite uh both of them have been very engaged um in that process we did we did also just as a side reference change our master plan a little bit this year kind based on the 2050 study and working with uh ccrpcs team on that uh specifically with that north exit or the 14 and i believe it was called before uh so we we uh essentially eliminated that from our master plan still show it a little bit lightly on the master plan but not as strongly as before are you opposed to having that criteria added no we're really open to absolutely anything that the city wants or the region we really believe in any intersection will give relief to the you know the problem that we're having right now so uh we support anything and everything okay good to know that's all i have that's you know the only issue with the airport that's come forward may i ask another question and i don't probably think you have an update but if you do um it would be great um we had a conversation with uh city manager doran about the looking into the rezoning of the land north of the dog park have you heard any conversations about that well i haven't because the planning commission is pretty well focused on um updating the ldr's under um interim zoning but i think that is on the shortlist going forward would you mind uh as part of your plan in the future just giving us an update maybe just checking in each month and seeing if there's any headway it's very important yes it is we've taken a very small part so that uh the community could digest it and we felt it was the part that would have least uh conflict and we give the most benefit to selts burlington so um we really hope um that we could make make it through that in this year and um so if you wouldn't mind and could help us with it would be really really helpful for everybody involved um you know one thing we don't really need is land that isn't being serving its purpose at the best possible way and certainly that area we've had many takers that were interested um you know doing things there that would bring great tax dollars to self-growing to an insignificant benefit to the airport uh which i would sound as a win-win so um anything you could do to help out and just give us an update each month would be wonderful kevin seemed very engaged and uh you know presenting it and very open to it he was very helpful but i understand you know he's winding down but uh you know i do think it's something that we should try to put some energy into if we could okay i will do that i will um make that contact tomorrow thank you you're welcome so helens all done um i believe the next thing on the agenda is director's report am i correct it is um you've heard a lot of the wonderful news that the team has been working on um the uh the best part for me is you know 800 more people you know since last week that was just a beautiful jump and i'm very excited about it uh nick and i and shelby have spent a fair amount of time speaking to the airlines as early as today with jet blue and you know they're very optimistic and very engaged in coming back to burlington they understand what we had to do to have the success that the state have and they're very engaged when the demand is there to be back so everybody's kind of calling on you know june july august to be our turning points for all the airlines but uh feeling good and i'm very excited about that the um one wonderful thing that happened today was today was a historical day at burlington airport and we had our first electric aircraft land this morning um at uh at burlington airport a beta aircraft landed today came in from platzberg and uh it was really really exciting so uh we're very happy about that you know that's our uh you know they've done so very well they're on their um second model of this uh this type um and that's being built and i think they nick did they say it would be done in a month or what did they say i believe so i think it's significantly uh put together inside the hangar so they have two in there right now yeah so we're quite excited about that um that's a big deal for us um another initiative and i think i mentioned this at our last meeting but uh the mayor has asked me to uh work on the carbon footprint you know of the airport and uh we are taking that task very seriously we have a committee we've put together and we'll continue to build on that committee and the actions we're about a week and a half old um but um we're going to be really diligent you know about that and one of the things we most recently did is uh we ordered two new electric lawnmowers uh the ride-along ones so we're going to test those out and potentially buy a third one we have two electric trucks on order that will come in in january when we do the new tip building they uh we're going to uh do everything we can to make it uh be as energy efficient and self-sufficient as possible you know solar battery backup um everything we can do to make it green but at the same time looking at the entire airport and uh you know uh i i guess i have three years to turn this around so we're going to work really hard to make that happen um we uh Nick and I went on Kurt Wright's show on tuesday and that was a lot of fun and we had some very interesting questions and they but answered them very well um we uh um you know we i just we just continue to do great things and things are going very well i'm very proud of the team and uh how well they've worked out through this whole COVID period our maintenance team just continues to do wonderful things and maintain and take care of the airport at a very high level uh the admin team again is doing the same um and all at all you know Marie has just done very well we'll be hearing from Fitch uh probably sometime in the next week on we met with them this week and uh you know i don't believe they're as open-minded as you know Moody's uh Moody's was very engaged it seemed like they were very they digested the airport they're very aware and every everything that we did Moody's was very complimentary of the city very complimentary of the airport Fitch was complimentary but it didn't feel like they were going to move um you know they seemed to be somewhat conservative of the whole airline industry and uh they will move when the industry moves um so uh that's what i kind of got from that conversation um but again Marie Shelby Nick Andrew um did a wonderful job putting the presentations together and it went very well um we are talking have been talking with Michael Lump you know our airline consultant and uh we'll be meeting with a couple new airlines um over the next couple weeks looking for new service um again even though we don't really deserve it right now because of our numbers you need to plan for tomorrow and plant the seeds and that's what we'll be doing um i believe if you don't plant those seeds and there's some of the same people that have worked for other airlines that we know quite well so i believe we will get our foot in the door and at least plant the seed and be ready to have conversations when we do very well um that's about it anything else nick that you can think of i think you covered uh uh quite a bit yeah i think that was great all right any questions for me jean just one question you brought it up with the planting the seeds i know that obviously a lot has been thrown into turmoil because of covid but prior to that you were um looking into service to boston and i'm curious to know if you obviously it's hard to tell at this point but do you think that whoever that was they might come back to the table after after we're through this pandemic they're already at the table um you should know me well better than that by now but i've been um uh you know i got a flat out no but we're still interested um and having the conversation what they said was it won't be this spring because we're looking for a rebound from vermont um but we are very interested in having the conversation and uh staying engaged and so what i did is i also that's who i spoke with today their other partner and they were also interested because they have to work with each other to pull off boston so we're working both sides tim and so uh we will um mean we were we met with the head of planning on one end of it and then uh planning on the other and i am optimistic you know basically if we can if our numbers look good uh you know this fall we're going to be able to have a really good conversation and uh but we're going to need to bring it back and otherwise nobody's coming to the table okay thank you any other questions so next on the agenda is is it the sound complaint i can't i don't see it so yeah sorry my computer was running a bit slow uh you're correct it's 9.01 sound data and and other commissioners items okay is there is there going to be discussion about this um oh here we are what do we got here gonna explain this go ahead shelby yeah so this is the sound data that has uh from january first on um so essentially through february january february there was 26 calls that we did receive and these are the locations associated with those 26 calls wow um all of them were related to military noise um and then here is the further kind of cumulative map 18 from onuski interesting um if i can zoom in a little further i i believe it does get a little bit more sparse but um uh big majority is kind of in the new north end that we have discovered and if i remember correctly we had an issue that's there were basically the same people calling repeatedly is that still in this data or has that been factored out um the people that do call repeatedly are and uh we've kind of zoned in into neighborhoods are identified in that kind of yellow area um so effectively in a conjoined neighborhood here there's 90 calls and a majority of them are from the same street okay if you'd like to see it a different format um for unique addresses i'm happy to pull that together as well yeah well i know there's there's concerns on sensitivity of unique addresses so i want to be respectful of that i what i'm just trying to avoid is it's you know somebody who's calling you know five or six times and it makes it look like that area gets five or six times as many noise complaints which is technically true but if you factor in it's it's repeat callers or repeat people submitting information that it may it may distort the the results how about for next month we also provide a quantity of unique addresses so at the 196 total how many are from a singular address and kind of maybe parse it down there do you have it also by the day to the call because i can appreciate that you know you get someone really i rate and they call five times in one day um or is it you know when the jets fly on thursdays it's the route they take um is right over their house so every thursday in a month it is annoying and they call we do we have it by date we also have it by time stamp of submittal so we have kind of all these parameters and we can present it in any way like if you have any other feedback for us as a follow-up item which we can add to the new section you know i think go ahead go ahead ellen well i was just thinking in terms of tim's concern if if the information was shared so that um it was kind of discrete um occurrences and not that might be helpful if it's from the same address rather than put it all together okay and in the past it has been you know the you'll see the groupings you know and the repeat folks and you know again i don't want to in any way say that they're not being bothered or they're they're hoping a bitual you know reporter but i think there's areas and i think it's pretty evident and maybe nick do we show the flight path well i was gonna mention that you know having the flight path would be really interesting to see how that aligns up because i think that's really key because you know i talked to different people in the community and when you know like a gentleman from burlington called and i just said how can you even hear them and it really depends where you're at if it really bothers you but if you're inside a hill um you know like over by the university i mean it's it's pretty loud over there um so i i i do think it's worth you know having some discussions and understanding even if you get somebody who gets 30 reports it might be if you look at that flight path it might be interesting to actually line up and see why they're they're doing it and some people are just bothered and they're anti f-35 or anti war yep those folks you know they're going to do it but then there's others that when they're flying they're just really bothered and uh and i understand that yeah because i i was gonna share that because you know my own experience was i mean i i've been inside in buildings most of the time when they go over but two Sundays ago um my wife and i were out on euthan alan homestead walking out on the peninsula and there were 12 f-35s that went over and it was a different experience to be out in an area where there were no buildings you know no leaves on the trees there was nothing to absorb the sound and it was incredibly loud yeah so i hear what you're saying jean it's a lot of it could be you're just in the right place in the contours of the land but it was almost deafening how loud those were i went i got a couple called me from winewski and i looked at the flight path and then i said well where do you live and so i drove up there and i sat there on a day that i knew that they would be you know on a saturday actually when they were flying oh my god you know what i mean and it's like you can't judge it till you go to it you know and uh so you're you're dead on tim you know what i mean we need to be sensitive i just don't want to think because we get 30 from one location that somebody's you know messing with us it could be that that noise is messing with them so uh i think we need to be fair and uh look at each one independently and uh and i mean each one has a story i guess is what i'm saying that's all i have but i'm happy to answer any questions if any anyone has any further ones so but i think all this this is quite a um you can dig deep in the uh okay thank you everybody um do we have the next meeting date um it should be uh the 19th uh wait a minute the um 21st of april you know i have a motion to adjourn so moved all in favor hi hi okay care can i ask a quick question how many people have their vaccines that are on the phone right now i have both i have both i'm flying out um in two weeks or actually three weeks no no we have the last of two
