SO COME ON. THERE WE GO. >> FIRST AN INTRODUCTION TO ROSIE A REX WROTE OUR BRAND NEW ADMIN SPECIALIST FOR DO YOU SEE A LOT MORE RATIO AND WHEN YOU

CALL THE AIRPORT YOU'LL PROBABLY TALK TO HER. >> AND IF YOU NEED TO SCHEDULE THINGS, YOU'LL TALK TO HER AND COORDINATE WITH SO SHE'LL BE GETTING ME IN LINE.

NO ONE'S BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT YET. SO SHE'S GOT A HEAVY, HEAVY LOAD. BUT NOW WE'RE SUPER GLAD TO HAVE HER ONBOARD NOW.

>> ROSIE COMES DOES ACTUALLY FROM ANOTHER COUNTY DEPARTMENT. YOU START WITH THE COUNTY.

WE JUST FEW WEEKS AGO AND WE WERE ABLE TO ATTRACT HER OVER TO THE AIRPORT.

A GREAT FIT FOR BUT SHE COMES. >> PRIOR TO THAT FROM THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON.

SO SHE SPENT ABOUT EIGHT YEARS I BELIEVE FOR THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON.

AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. SO SHE'S GOT GREAT MUNICIPAL EXPERIENCE WHICH IS A HUGE BENEFIT TO US. SO WELCOME.

>> IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU. SO THIS IS YOUR FIRST MEETING SO SHE IS JUST TOTALLY BEING

BAPTIZED BY FIRE. >> SO WELCOME ABOARD. THIS IS WHERE WE DO THINGS.

SO IT'S GREAT. GLAD TO HAVE YOU. OK.

OVER HILTON HEAD WE'RE JUST FINISHING UP SOME REMARKING OF TAXIWAY ALPHA AND THIS IS IN ADVANCE OF OUR PART 139 INSPECTION WHICH HAPPENED IN AUGUST.

THESE WERE JUST A RECOMMENDATION FROM LAST YEAR'S INSPECTION SAYING HEY, IF YOU'RE GONNA BE MADE OUT RATHER QUICKLY BEING OUT THERE IN THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT ALL THE TIME.

SO WE WERE REMARK. THESE WERE JUST COUPLE OF PICTURES TO SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE. IT'S A BIG OPERATION IF ANYBODY'S BEEN TRYING TO FLY OUT OF THERE FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE AIRPORT, YOU'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE NOTABLES.

YOU KNOW, CLOSING TAXIWAYS AND STUFF TAXIWAYS, PARTIAL DAYS SO THAT WE GET THE PAINTING, GET

THE REMOVAL DONE AND THEN THE REPAINTING DONE. >> THIS IS KIND OF NICE FRESH SHARP MARKINGS AND THAT WILL HELP US ON THE PART WHEN THIRTY NINE INSPECTION AND THERE'S A

QUICK LITTLE VIDEO SO YOU CAN. >> WHAT I WANT YOU TO LOOK FOR HERE IS A GUY WHO'S PAINTING OBVIOUSLY IS USING THE STENCIL TO PAINT EVERYTHING PER REGULATION.

BUT THEN I WANT TO SEE THE GUY WHO'S STANDING UP THERE BECAUSE WHAT WHAT HE'S DOING IS NOW KEEP IN MIND THESE GUYS ARE PAINTING. IT'S 100 DEGREES AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OUT THERE SO THAT ASPHALT IS PROBABLY A HUNDRED AND THIRTY.

[00:05:01]

SO THE GUY WHO'S STANDING THERE IN THE WHITE SHIRT IS PUTTING THE GLASS BEADS BECAUSE THESE HAVE TO BE REFLECTIVE AND HAS TO PASS. WE HAVE TO PASS DAY AND NIGHT INSPECTION WITH THE FAA. SO WATCH WATCH HOW FAST THIS GUY'S GONNA THROW THOSE BEADS

DOWN ALTHOUGH IT WAS FUN. >> IT'S ALL VERY SCIENTIFIC DISPERSAL METHOD.

>> I REALLY LIKE THE GREAT AND THEN HE GETS COACHED SEE HIM AS A CORNER.

I WONDER IF YOU WERE INSIDE FOR WEDDINGS TOO. >> GOOD.

YOU HAVE TO CHANGE ANGLE OR THROW FOR THE WEDDING THE. I'M NOT SURE HE LOOKS HE'S PRETTY WELL SCHOOL HERE BUT IT SHOW YOU DO THEY THEY REALLY HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT AND IT'S YOU KNOW AGAIN IT'S NOT SUPER SCIENTIFIC BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GET THOSE GLASS BEADS DOWN REALLY QUICKLY SO ADHERE TO THE PAINT. LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN THE BEST

STAY ANYWAY. >> THAT'S THE MARKINGS OUT THERE AT HILTON.

AND WE ALSO HAD THE MARKINGS DONE ON THE NEW COMMERCIAL RAMP EXPANSION.

YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU SEE WE HAVE A COMMERCIAL JET OUT THERE ALREADY.

WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THE TOWER ON HOW BEST TO USE THAT BECAUSE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE YOU OPEN UP A FEW ACRES ATTACKS YOU ARE OF OF APRON AND ALL THE AIRLINES ARE READY TO PUT THEIR TENT UP OUT THERE AND HAVE THEIR OWN TERRITORY. SO WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THE TOWER THAT WAS ACTUALLY AN AIRPLANE THAT WILL EXPECTING TO SEE IT THERE THIS MORNING BUT IT ACTUALLY ARRIVED EARLY. AIRLINE SCHEDULES ARE CRAZY THIS YEAR THAT AIRPLANE ACTUALLY CAME EMPTY THIS MORNING. I'VE NO IDEA WHY BUT WE HAD TO COME IN LIKE THAT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. SO THE NETWORKS ARE INSANE WITH JUST SCHEDULES PILOTS SHORTAGES . YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SHORTAGES AS WELL DUE TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING ON THE

FEDERAL LEVEL. >> IT'S A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE BIT MESSY OUT THERE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. SO ANYWAY, WE'VE GOT A NICE RAMP WITH FRESH PAINT SO WE'RE HAPPY. OK, SO LET'S. LET'S SEE AND THEN JUST COUPLE OF BRIEFS. I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING ANY GREAT PHOTOS FROM RW MAY WE'LL DO THAT NEXT MONTH. WE HAVE SOME GOOD ONES TO SHOW THERE BUT JUST JUST UPDATES FOR YOU OUT AT BOTH AIRPORTS FIRST ITEMS THAT YOU VOTED ON AT THE LAST MEETING.

I WANT TO UPDATE OF WHERE THEY ARE IN THE PIPELINE THE PURCHASE OF THIRTY SIX ON A ROAD HAS TO BE AN ORGAN SINCE IT'S A PURCHASE OF PROPERTY BY THE COUNTY.

SO PASS FIRST READING THIS WEEK AND IT SHOULD BE THROUGH THE PIPELINE IN EARLY JULY.

I THINK IT'LL BE THE 11TH IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN IS WHEN THAT MEETING IS SO WE'LL HAVE THAT ALL FINISHED UP RELATIVELY SOON . THE NEXT TIME WE VOTED FOR LAST MONTH WAS THE APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR FUNDS FROM STATE AERONAUTICS AND THAT'S FOR THAT SECOND PHASE OF THE TERMINAL RENOVATION PROJECT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE. SO WE STILL JUST FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR HAVE TO HAVE APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR A GRANT COMING THE FIRST OF JULY I'LL BE IN THE NEW FISCAL YEAR AND THAT WILL BE BUILT INTO THE BUDGET ORGANS SO WE DON'T HAVE TO ASK FOR PERMISSION TO APPLY JUST PERMISSION TO ACCEPT A GRANT AND THEN WE ARE GONNA DO YOU GET A LAW INVITE ON THIS

ONE? >> I WANTED TO TEASE YOU WE ARE GOING TO DO A LITTLE LOGO REVEAL IN THE TERMINAL ON THE 30TH SO THE MORNING THE 30TH. KIND OF A LOW KEY EVENT BUT WE WANT TO DO IT IN THE TERMINAL AND JUST KIND OF SHOW PEOPLE WHAT THAT LOGO IS GONNA LOOK LIKE AND ALSO KIND OF HAD TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY SHOW SOME OF THE RENDERINGS OF WHAT THAT NEW TERM WILL LOOK LIKE AS WELL. SO JUST A SMALL LOW KEY EVENT.

BUT WE ARE GONNA GO AHEAD AND LAUNCH THAT LOGO AND THEN START WORKING ON GETTING THE BRANDING OUT AS WELL SO YOU'LL START TO SEE THE NEW LOGO AND BRANDING COLORS, THAT KIND OF THING THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR BUSINESS CARDS, LETTERHEADS, ADS THAT WE DO IN AND OUT OF MARKET.

SO YOU SEE THAT HITTING EVERYTHING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL YEAR RF TRUCK.

>> WE GOT NOTIFIED THAT A COUPLE OF OUR CREW WILL GO UP TO OSHKOSH AND CAN BASICALLY HELP CONDUCT A FINAL INSPECTION OF THAT TRUCK. THERE IS PRETTY IT'S IN THE ASSEMBLY LINES BEING WORKED ON AND IS SUPPOSED BE FINISHED UP IN JULY.

SO WE WILL HAVE AN ACTUAL DELIVERY DATE FOR DOWN HERE YET BUT WE'LL HAVE SOME FOLKS GO UP AND DO THAT FINAL INSPECTION. SO THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S MOVING ALONG WELL, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF PROGRESS PHOTOS AND IT'S EXCITING TO HAVE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE COME TO THE AIRPORT AND THAT ONE IF YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE WAS 100 PERCENT FUNDED BY THE FAA.

IT'S USUALLY A 90 PERCENT DEAL BE AS PART OF THE COVETED RELIEF PACKAGES.

THAT WAS A HUNDRED PERCENT GRANT. SO WE HAD THAT THING 100 PERCENT FUNDED BY THE FAA. THE APRON PROJECT WAS ALSO 100 PERCENT FUNDED BY THE FAA.

>> I TAKE IT THEY'RE GOING TO DELIVER THAT ON A FLATBED. YOU'RE NOT DRIVING IT BACK.

OH MY GOODNESS. >> THAT WOULD BE A LONG, LONG SLOW DRIVE.

SO YES, THAT WILL BE DELIVERED IN SOME WAY OTHER THAN ON HIS OWN WHEELS ROLLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. YEAH, I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE BEHIND THAT ONE.

YEAH. AND THEN JUST QUICK UPDATE ON MARKETING.

I DO THIS BECAUSE HOW OFTEN I HEAR I'M JUST GETTING OUR AFTER THE FIRST OF THE FISCAL YEAR SO

[00:10:04]

WE'VE HAD ONE BEFORE THERE WAS KIND OF BETWEEN EXIT 5 AND EXIT 8.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THERE'S GOOD THERE'S A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO EXODUS.

WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT ONE TO WE'LL RUN THAT FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS AND REMIND PEOPLE WHO FLEW IN TO SAVANNAH AND BROUGHT A BUNCH OF TRAFFIC AND RAN OUT THEIR CAR AND SPENT LOTS OF MONEY THAT THEY COULD'VE FLOWN DIRECTLY TO THE ISLAND. SO NEXT TIME AND THEN WE'LL ALSO BE BACK ON THAT DIGITAL BOARD THAT YOU SEE ON 170 YOU'RE HEADING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH COUNTY AND VISE VERSA. THERE IS A TON OF CARS THAT GO THROUGH THERE EVERY DAY.

LESLIE WAS TELLING ME HOW LONG IT TOOK HER TO GET UP HERE TODAY.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WILL SEE THOSE ADS ON THE BILLBOARDS.

SO THAT WORKS OUT REALLY WELL. THAT'S A VERY COST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF DOING IT AS WELL BECAUSE NUMBER ONE, IT'S CYCLES IN WHEN WHEN VISUAL VIDEO TYPE DISPLAYS CYCLE PEOPLE ARE MORE APT TO SEE IT THAN IF IT'S A STATIC DISPLAY AND IS VERY COST EFFECTIVE AND GREAT EXPOSURE

THERE. >> SO THAT'S A GOOD ONE. I THINK WE'LL TRY TO KEEP THAT ONE ROLLING AS MUCH AS WE CAN. AND THEN THE SURGE MANIA GUY THAT CAME OUT IF ANYBODY'S SEEN THAT OR RECEIVED THAT WE'VE GOT A FULL PAGE AD IN THAT MENU GUIDE.

WE DID THAT LAST YEAR AS WELL. AND THAT'S I GUESS AT ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND AND MIGHT BE NORTH OF THAT. BUT THE SEARCH GROUP IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM US SO IT WORKS OUT REALLY WELL TO WORK WITH THOSE FOLKS AND ANYBODY WHO WHO KNOWS THAT YOU'VE DEFINITELY YOU'VE HIT A SURGE RESTAURANT. I WAS THERE ON TUESDAY.

SO GREAT PRODUCTS AND A LOT PEOPLE PUT THEIR EYEBALLS IN THOSE THOSE MENU GUIDES.

SO WE'RE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF THE LOCAL WORK RIGHT THERE IN THE MENU GUIDE.

>> AND THEN IN THE THE INBOUND MARKET ARE THE FOLKS FAR OUTSIDE OF OUR HOME AREA.

WE WORK THROUGH EXPEDIA AND SO SOJOURN AND WE DO THOSE ONLINE CALM INTELLIGENT CAMPAIGNS

BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE CAMPAIGNS THAT STALK YOU. >> SO IF YOU'RE ON FACEBOOK OR IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO TRAVEL SOMEWHERE, WE'RE GOING TO START PEPPER NEW WITH FLY DIRECTED THAT ISLAND ADS. SO IF YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM US.

APOLOGIZE BUT DON'T APOLOGIZE BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO FLY DIRECTLY TO THE ISLAND.

ANY QUESTIONS ON ALL THAT VIRGIN TO JOHN OR DO WE HAVE MEDIA PLANNED FOR THE LOGO REVEAL? AND WHEN THE NEW FIRETRUCK ARRIVES OR YOU'RE GOING TO DO A MEDIA THEN PROBABLY NOT FOR THE FIRE TRUCK BUT WE DO HAVE A MEDIA EVENT OR WE'LL PUT OUT NOTICES TO THE MEDIA FOR THE LOGO REVEAL AND MAYBE IT'LL DO SOMETHING FOR THE FIRE TRUCK.

>> I MEAN WE DO HAVE TRAINING EXERCISES IN THAT. SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHOW IT THAT WAY BUT IT IS A GOOD IDEA . MAYBE WE OUGHT TO DO SOMETHING

WITH A FIRE TRUCK. >> WELL, I'M THINKING THE FACT THAT IT'S LOCAL COST INVOLVED COULD BE A SMALL PART OF THAT AND RE-EMPHASIZE THAT EVERYTHING GOING ON AT THE

AIRPORT IS NOT COMING OUT OF THE LOCAL TAXPAYERS POCKETS. >> RIGHT.

AND YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT, LOCAL TAXPAYERS POCKETS. I'LL EMPHASIZE AGAIN SOON YOU OPEN THE DOOR THAT THE AIRPORTS DID NOT RECEIVE APPROPRIATE FROM ANY LOCAL TAXES.

AND I LIKE TO TELL FOLKS THAT I HAD TO TELL ANOTHER TENANT THAT THE OTHER DAY.

A REMINDER THAT THE AIRPORTS DO NOT GET APPROPRIATIONS. SO IF YOU'RE A TAXPAYER, THE ONLY WAY YOU PAY FOR THE AIRPORT IS IF YOU USE THE AIRPORT SO YOUR TAX MONIES DON'T PAY FOR THE AIRPORT. IT'S STRICTLY USER BASE SYSTEM OF THE WAY ALL THE AVIATION SYSTEM IS BUILT. SO IT IS A USER BASE SYSTEM IF YOU DON'T USE IT, YOU'RE NOT PAYING FOR IT. SO THAT'S A GOOD THING. JIM, I THOUGHT YOU'RE GOING TO ASK TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. GARY, YOU SAY NO VISITORS TAKES AFTER AUTOMATIC WE GET YOUR RIDE. I DO THAT.

BUT YOU KNOW, YOU DO BRING UP A GOOD POINT AND MAY WELL WE'RE PLAYING SOMETHING AROUND THAT BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT A FIRE TRUCK THAT WE'VE GOT LIKE AND THEN ONE THIS

ASSOCIATED WITH AN AIRPORT. >> IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT LOOKING FIRE TRUCK.

SO THAT MIGHT BE EXCITING I THINK. >> MY MY MY MARKETING MIND SAYS WE HAVE A PLANE AND HAVE A PARK ABOARD SHOOTING OVER IT. KIND OF A GOOD VISUAL HIGHLIGHT

OR NOT SAY LIKE SHOULD WE TELL THE PILOT OR NOT? >> DOES IT MATTER? YOU'RE RIGHT. IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE IF YOU REMEMBER BACK TO WHEN AMERICAN CAME IN WITH THEIR FIRST AIRPLANE THEY THEY'D BEEN BRIEFED AND THEIR FLIGHT CREW FORGOT THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THE IT'S THE WATER CANNONS OVER TOP AND IT KIND OF SCARED HIM A LITTLE BIT. THAT'S OK. BUT YEAH, WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. I SEE BRIAN HAS A QUESTION FROM REMOTE.

>> CAN YOU HEAR ME OK? YES. YES.

OK. >> GOOD. I GOT A QUESTION ABOUT GOING BACK TO THE AIRPORT MARKING PAINTING JOB FOR A MINUTE BEFORE THE THE NEW PAINTING TAXIWAY ALPHA WAS DONE A WEEK AGO BY FAR AND AWAY THE MOST FADED RUNWAY MARKINGS WERE THE

[00:15:01]

THAT THEY CAN BE SEEN AT NIGHT . >> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OF THE FAA IS AWARE OF THAT BUT WHEN YOU LAND ON OUR RUNWAY AT NIGHT RIGHT NOW THE MARKINGS THAT DIRECT YOU OFF THE RUNWAY TO TAXIWAYS ALPHA 1, ALPHA TO ALPHA THREE OR FOUR FROM FIVE

OR SO FADED YOU CAN'T SEE THEM AT NIGHT, OK? >> I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT.

>> WELL LOOK, I KNOW THAT THE THE STUB TAXIWAYS I BELIEVE WERE PAINTED TOO.

SO I THINK THAT THAT ALL I THINK THAT WILL HAVE BEEN IMPROVED WITH THIS PROJECT.

>> THERE WERE THERE WERE BUT THOSE LINES DID NOT COME OUT OF THE RUNWAY ITSELF.

>> OK. SO THE ACTUAL LEAD IN LINES ON THE RUNWAY THEY NEED TO BE DONE. YES. OK.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SAY WE HAVE ANOTHER INSPECTION COMING UP IN AUGUST SO WE'LL WE'LL CHECK ON THAT AND I GUESS JUST ASK HIM TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF THE QUESTION AND BRIAN'S I'M ASSUMING WE JUST CAN'T OR NOT WE BUT YOU SET UP KIND OF A RESERVE CONSTANTLY BECAUSE WE

KNOW THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MAINTENANCE ITEMS. >> WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO COME UP OVER X NUMBER OF YEARS ALL THE TIME. SO I'M ASSUMING WE SET UP A RESERVE FOR THAT'S ALREADY RIGHT AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

>> I'LL TELL YOU THAT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD TO REDO THE MARKINGS BECAUSE IT IS A COMBINATION OF THE THE ENVIRONMENT BUT ALSO THE USE THE TRAFFIC AND THE TRAFFIC. THIS ROLLING OVER THOSE MARKINGS HAS INCREASED SO MUCH IN THE LAST FEW YEARS THAT IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE. NEVER BEFORE I MEAN I'VE GONE THROUGH EIGHT INSPECTIONS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD COME ON ONE OF THOSE.

SO THOSE WERE RELATIVELY NEW MARKINGS WE DID THAT ACTUALLY IN 2017.

SO IN FOUR AND A HALF YEARS THEY'RE READY TO BE REPLACED. AND WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT IN THE FIRST OKATIE A HALF YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE. SO IT'S A MATTER OF TRAFFIC PROBABLY MORE SO THAN THE ENVIRONMENT. ALL RIGHT.

>> OK. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE?

>> ALL RIGHT. >> THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. >> ALL RIGHT.

UNCHECK THE SCREEN NOW AND GET BACK TO NORMAL BUSINESS. >> HERE WE GO ON TO NEW BUSINESS NOW THAT THE ACTION ITEMS COME UNDER NEW BUSINESS. THAT'S NEXT ON THE AGENDA.

>> OK, I'M NOT SITTING HERE WITH JENNIFER AND ME SO PROMPT ME I WANT FOR YOUR BUSINESS IS NEXT AND I ASSUME THE ACTION ITEM UNFINISHED BUSINESS IN NEW OK.

>> SO DO YOU WANT. CAN YOU READ THAT OFF BECAUSE I WILL HAVE AN AGENDA IN FRONT

[10. HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT (HXD) - TBE WORK AUTHORIZATION 22-01 PROPERTY ACQUISITION AT EXEC AIR (VOTE)]

OF ME. >> THE ACTION ITEMS EACH ONE ITEM IN THE FIRST ONE THAT ALWAYS NUMBER 10 IS THE HILTON HEAD ON AIRPORT TV WORK AUTHORIZATION 22 SHOW ONE

PROPERTY ACQUISITION AT EXACT AIR RIGHT OK. >> SO THAT IS WORK AUTHORIZATION FOR WHERE RIGHT NOW INTEND TO DO JUST A PROPERTY ACQUISITION FOR A THERE'S A VERY SMALL SLIVER OF PROPERTY THAT IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY EXECUTOR WHICH IS THROUGH THE FENCE OPERATION AT THE NORTH END OF THE AIRPORT AND THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY I GUESS DE FACTO BECAME OPERATIONAL AIRPORT PROPERTY WHEN WE DID THE TAXIWAY PROJECT A FEW YEARS AGO. SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS WHAT USED TO BE JUST A STRIP OF GRASS THAT WAS NOT USED FOR ANYTHING BUT COULD BE MAINTAINED MODE BY EXECUTOR WHILE STILL IN THEIR LEGAL POSSESSION AND OWNERSHIP REALLY CAN'T BE MAINTAINED BY THEM BECAUSE IT'S ON THE ACTIVE

AIRFIELD NOW. >> SO I'VE MET WITH EXECUTOR AND WE LOOKED AT THAT AND SAID YES WE WE NEED TO PURCHASE THAT FROM EXECUTOR. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS WORK AUTHORIZATION DOES IS A NORMAL PACKAGE FOR WE'LL GO THROUGH AND OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL OR REVIEW APPRAISAL AND THEN NEGOTIATE WITH EXECUTOR AND WORK WITH THE FAA TO GO AHEAD AND PURCHASE THAT PROPERTY SO THAT THE AIRPORT CURRENTLY MAINTAINS IT MAINTAINS THE

SIGNS AND THE LIGHTS THAT TURN THAT PROPERTY WATCH IT ON THAT. >> SO WE'RE CATCHING UP WITH WHAT WE REALLY SHOULD HAVE IT ON A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND THAT'S IN THAT BASED ON THE THE INFORMATION YOU GAVE US IN THE PACKET THAT IS THOSE NUMBERS YOU GAVE US OR AFTER THE APPRAISAL AND THE. NO, THAT'S YOUR THAT'S THE CONSULTING THAT'S TO DO WHAT WE'RE SAYING. THAT'S TO SHEPHERD THROUGH THAT PROJECT.

THAT'S NOT TO EXCEED NO. TO SHEPHERD US THROUGH OKATIE ACQUISITION PROCESS.

SO WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY APPRAISALS DONE YET. OKAY.

OKAY. >> JOHN AND WE'LL NEED A EMOTION AND A VOTE ON THAT.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. IS THERE ANY FUNCTIONAL USE

FORCE OTHER THAN SECURING THE AIRPORT? >> ANY FUNCTIONAL USE WE'VE GOT OF THAT STRIDER GRAHAM GOT NAV AIDS AND WE'VE GOT DRAINAGE AND SIGNAGE IN THERE ON THAT.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU. YES.

THEY'VE PROBABLY ALIGNS LIABILITY CORRECTLY. NOW TO BRANT IS IT NOT

[00:20:01]

I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW THAT WORKS IN THE FAA PROCESS. >> BUT THE BIG QUESTION WE'LL LOOK AT AND SAY I DON'T THINK THE PROPERTY OWNERS WON'T DO THAT.

>> WELL, I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T. >> YES.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT FUNCTIONAL USE. COULD THEY POSSIBLY HAVE IT?

>> THERE ISN'T. THERE IS NONE TO THEM. BUT IT'S THEIRS.

WELL, I'M SURE I UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT PROPERTY RIGHTS AND STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

ABSOLUTELY. >> DON, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY ACTUALLY IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THIS AMOUNT? ARE THEY GETTING. OH, LIKE I SAID, JIM, THIS IS ONLY A CONSULTING FEE TO GET THIS. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROPERTY IS VALUED. OKAY. ONCE ITS VALUE IS DOWN ON THE

FEES THAT'LL BE AN ADDITION TO THE AMOUNT THAT SOME HERE. >> YEAH.

ALREADY. DO I HEAR A MOTION FOR THIS A MOTION THAT WE TAKE A VOTE ON? I'LL GIVE IT A SECOND. ALL RIGHTY. ALL IN FAVOR.

HI. >> ALL RIGHT. >> OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM IS THE

[11. APPROVAL FOR HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT (HXD) TO APPLY FOR TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND ATAX FUNDS FOR MARKETING (VOTE)]

A TAX FUNDS FOR MARKETING, RIGHT? >> THIS IS YOU KNOW, WE WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR. WE APPLY FOR A TAX FUND FOR THE MARKETING.

>> BUT AS PART OF THAT APPLICATION PACKAGE YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING IN THE BOARDMAN MINUTES THAT HAVE DIRECTED THE AIRPORT TO GO AHEAD AND APPLY FOR THOSE.

THIS IS WHERE YOU DO THAT SO MOVED. >> THANK YOU.

>> SECOND CALL IN FAVOR. HI. >> THE THIRD ACTION ITEM IS

[Items 12 & 13]

SEVEN RW 725 REHAB DESIGN AND BIDDING RIGHT. >> AND SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS PROPOSE YOU TAKE TWELVE OR THIRTEEN TOGETHER BECAUSE FOR THE SAME ITEM ONE IS THE FAA AND ONE IS A SOUTH CAROLINA AERONAUTICS COMMISSION GRANT AND I AM I'M I TELL YOU I'M DOING THIS A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF TIME. OK, IN ORDER LIKE I SAID IN ORDER TO ACCEPT A GRANT WE HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM YOU AND THEN A COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND THEN COUNCIL TO ACTUALLY BRING THE GRANT IN AND BE ABLE TO USE AT THE FAA HAS IDENTIFIED THOSE FUNDS. WE'RE IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT CAME OUT LAST WEEK FROM THE FAA BUT WE'VE NOT YET RECEIVED THE GRANT OFFER FROM THE FAA. SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT CART IN FRONT OF THE HORSE. BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE RECEIVE THAT GRANT IN BETWEEN MEETINGS THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY APPROVED ACCEPTING THE GRANT AND WE CAN MOVE ON THROUGH THE COUNCIL PIPELINE. SO BOTH OF THESE ARE RELATED TO THE SAME THING AND AGAIN AS THE DESIGN AND BIDDING PHASES AGAIN AT TALBOT RIGHT NOW LANGTON CONTRACT DESIGN BIDDING OF THAT

RUNWAY 7 TO 5 REHAB OK. >> SO I'M LOOKING FOR A MOTION FOR ACTION ITEMS 12 AND 13.

WELL EXCUSE ME. I DON'T THINK WE CAN DO THAT UNLESS WE MOVE TO MERGE THEM.

AM I CORRECT, JOHN? OR DO YOU WANT SEPARATE VOTES FOR EACH ONE?

NO, NO. >> YOU CAN TAKE THEM TOGETHER YOU'RE DESCRIBING.

OK. SO WE ADD TO THAT THAT'S A TOTAL WHAT IS.

>> TELL ME WHAT IT ALL ENTAILS. ON ON ON THE RUNWAY I'M ASSUMING IT'S A REPAYMENT AND RE. IS THAT WHAT IT IS. YEAH BUT IT'S.

YES. YES. SO AS IT WILL STRENGTHEN AND IMPROVE THE CRACKING AND THAT THAT'S OUT THERE. SO WE'LL BE EVALUATED AND THEN THE DESIGN ALL WILL BE DEVELOPED TO BASE EXTEND THAT LIFESPAN.

YEAH. SO TO BE A RE MOST LIKELY A REPAYMENT AND ALL THAT CORRECT

OR NOT BECAUSE YES FOR JUNE. >> OKAY. AND THAT'LL BE A I GUESS AS WE GET CLOSER WE'LL FIGURE OUT HOW LONG THE RUNWAY IS GONNA BE DOWN OR IF IT'S GONNA BE PARTIALLY DONE AT NIGHT. I'M ASSUMING IT'S HAVE TO BE DOWN DOWN.

SO IT IS. YEAH. WELL HALF OF THE ENTIRE TIME THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT. AND THAT IS FOR THE RUNWAY ONLY NOTHING DO WITH THE TAXIWAY EXTENSION. CORRECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ? ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MOTION FOR THE BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE AIRPORT GRANT ACCEPTANCE FOR ACTION ITEMS TWELVE AND 13

CREDIT TO BOTH SIDES ARE GOING TO GO AND DO A SECOND SECOND. >> ALL IN FAVOR.

[COMMITTEE REPORTS]

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMITTEE REPORTS IF THERE ARE ANY.

FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PASSENGER SERVICES COMMITTEE JUST TO THANK EVERYONE, OUR AMBASSADOR PROGRAM AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT IS UNDERWAY AND THANK YOU ALL FOR

[00:25:02]

I THINK STEVE SAID HE HASN'T HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS YET. SO I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LINES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN WHAT THEY WERE THIS TIME LAST YEAR AND WE DID EXPECT THAT. SO THAT'S A GOOD THING THAT KEEPS THE COMPLAINTS DOWN IF THE LINES OR ARE DOWN. SO SO FAR AND WE JUST WANT TO KEEP IT GOING.

THANK YOU ALL. ANY OTHER COMMITTEE REPORTS? IN MY COMMITTEE WE MET YESTERDAY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T ONE WAY TO LAST MINUTE BEFORE THE MEETING.

AND WE HAD A. SO WE TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE A COUPLE OF THINGS WERE NEARLY COMPLETE. IS IT FAIR TO SAY 90 PERCENT COMPLETE ON THE ON THE REFURBISHMENT OF THE INTERIOR OF OUR W? AND AS HOWARD SAID LAST MEANING YOU KNOW, IF YOU GET A CHANCE PLEASE GO AND THEN LOOK ESPECIALLY IF YOU GOT TO SEE IT BEFORE, BEFORE AND AFTER. PRETTY, PRETTY AMAZING. IT LOOKS LOOKS TOP NOTCH.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT MOVING FORWARD ON THE DESIGN OR JOHN BROUGHT US UP TO SPEED AND STEVE BROUGHT US UP TO SPEED ON. THEY'D BEEN APPROVED AND IF I'M SPEAKING OUT OF TURN ON THIS, JOHN IF I SAY ANYTHING, RHONDA, JUST PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

BUT RIGHT NOW WE'VE BEEN APPROVED BY THE COUNTY FOR THE FUNDING FOR THE DESIGN PORTION OF IT. IT'S NOT SAYING THE FUNDING IS COMPLETE FOR NEW NEW T HANGARS AND POSSIBLY SMALLER BOX HANGER 80 AT THE END. BUT THE DESIGN PART IS THE

FUNDS HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD ON THAT. >> I ALSO TALKED TO WHAT I WOULD SAY AS THE HEAD PERSON FOR THE COMMUNITY I CALLED THE COMMUNITY HANGAR BUT IT'S A PRIVATE PRIVATE FUNDING OF A BIG BOX HANGAR AT ROUGHLY THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET AND THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS NOW PUTTING THE PARTNERS TOGETHER.

PART OF THE REASON THEY'RE KIND OF DRAGGING A LITTLE BIT IS STEEL PRICES WENT THROUGH THE ROOF. THEY BASICALLY THEY'VE GOT IT NOW DOWN TO ABOUT 80 A SQUARE FOOT. BUT AT ONE POINT IT WAS OVER OVER ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS A SQUARE FOOT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET, THAT'S A QUITE A BIT OF MONEY RIGHT NOW THAT PROJECTS WE CAN LIKE ABOUT 2.8 MILLION DOLLARS FOR EVERYTHING.

SO THEY'RE THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF THAT WHAT WHAT THEY INFORM ME ON AND I DIDN'T KNOW THIS. SO A LITTLE ECONOMICS LESSON APPARENTLY WE THE WORLD USES ONE POINT NINE BILLION TONS OF STEEL A YEAR AND OUT OF THAT CHINA PROCESSES OR MAKES ONE POINT ONE BILLION OF IT AND THEY SHUT DOWN FOR THREE MONTHS DURING THE OLYMPICS.

SO I GUESS WE DIDN'T SEE THE SMOKESTACKS THAT WE SAW THE SMOKESTACKS BUT WITHOUT THE SMOKE. SO THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON WHY THAT STEEL WENT UP.

SO THEY ARE THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD. THEY'RE NOT OUT OF THE GAME AT ALL. THEY'RE JUST THEY'RE TRYING TO PUT PUT ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE HERDING CATS A LITTLE BIT BUT THEY'VE GOT A LOT DONE FROM THE STANDPOINT ON THE ON THE DUE DILIGENCE FROM THEY DID THE GROUND TESTING AND EVERYTHING AND ALL THAT ALL THAT WENT THROUGH FAIRLY FAIRLY FINE. SO TO MATTER REALLY JUST PUTTING A CONTRACT TOGETHER I THINK GETTING THE QUOTES WHERE IT'S COMFORTABLE HAVING THE PARTNERS TOGETHER AND THEN BRING IN A LEAST TO THE AIRPORT DIRECTOR JOHN.

AND GOING FROM THERE AND MAKING WORKING OUT WORKING OUT A SOLUTION AND THAT'S THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. AND I HAVE MAY I ASK A QUESTION ON THE PROJECT?

>> YES. THERE WOULD BE ONE GROUP RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCING OR THE BUILDING OR THE MANAGEMENT BUT THERE'D BE MULTIPLE ALTERNATE.

CORRECT. WHAT KIND IF ANY LIABILITY ISSUE DOES THAT CREATE? WELL, WHAT YOU IT'S THE SAME SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT GOING IN IF I LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE I FLY INTO NASHVILLE AND I SAY HEY LOOK, CAN YOU PUT ME IN A HANGAR? THEY HAVE AN INSURANCE POLICY THAT COVERS IT WITH THOSE EMPLOYEES PUTTING MOVING THOSE

PLANES TO PUT THEM IN AND OUT. >> AND THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN WITH WITH THE COUNT BECAUSE I THINK WHAT THE PLAN IS AND IT'S NOT SET IN STONE THIS IS JUST I THINK TALKING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS IS THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PROVIDE THE LABOR FOR THIS

HANGAR. >> THEY'RE GOING TO THE COUNTY IS GOING TO PROVIDE THAT.

BUT THEN ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT, THE COUNTY IS ALSO GOING TO GET REVENUE FROM THE LEASING THAT HANGAR OVERNIGHT. AND YOU REMEMBER THAT JUST LIKE JIM WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT A PLANE AT SIXTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS THEY THEY WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT AND THEY WANT IT IN A HANGAR. YOU KNOW, IF THEY GET AN OPPORTUNITY THE INTERESTING THING IS YOU'RE NOT ALWAYS GUARANTEED A HANGAR AND TYPICALLY IT'S LARGER PLANES LIKE IF I GO AND THEY MAY SAY HEY LOOK, IT'S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.

WE DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN PUT YOU IN A HANGAR OR NOT. HERE'S WHAT IT WOULD BE IF YOU

[00:30:04]

YEAH. IT'S NOT LIKE A HOTEL ROOM. YOU'RE KIND OF GUARANTEED TO GET IT. IT'S A SUITE YOU SEE. YEAH EXACTLY.

THANK YOU. YEP. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMITTEE REPORTS I'D LIKE TO URGE ON BEHALF OF MARKETING LIKE TO ASK JOHN IF HE COULD PROVIDE US AN UPDATE AT THE NEXT MEETING ON THE TSA SITUATION REGARDING BRINGING IN RECERTIFICATION CERTIFICATION MOBILE TEAM FOR THINGS LIKE KNOWN TRAVELER NUMBERS ETC. I WILL COMMIT TO HAVE THE BRIEFING YOU IF I HAVE THE INFORMATION WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE COMMUNICATIONS BACK

AND FORTH BUT AS OF YET THERE ARE NO DETAILS. >> SO IF I CAN GET IT THEN I'LL BE HAPPY TO BRIEF YOU ON IT. THANK YOU, JIM. SURE.

MOVING THE SPEED OF GOVERNMENT ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR UPDATES?

>> I WOULD LIKE. I'D LIKE TO COMMEND THE AIRPORT ASSOCIATION FOR HOSTING

AVIATION CAREER FAIR EXPO. >> I BELIEVE THAT WAS SATURDAY, JUNE 4TH.

I'M NOT MISTAKEN. AND PRESENTING SPONSOR FOR THAT LOCKHEED MARTIN A GREAT CORPORATE CITIZEN AND STEWARD IN OUR COMMUNITY WAS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS AREA TO SEE THE BEVY OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH TCM AND OTHERS IN OUR REGION FOR SOME GREAT CAREERS.

>> SO THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED IN ORGANIZING THAT. THANKS TO LOCKHEED MARTIN FOR SPONSORING IT MADE ME I SECOND THAT MY WIFE AND I ATTENDED AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE VARIETY OF EXHIBITORS AND VERY HAPPY TO SEE THE ATTENDANCE NUMBERS.

>> I HOPE THEY WERE HAPPY WITH THEM AND GULFSTREAM WAS MAINTAINED A LIST OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO APPLY FOR JOBS. SO IT WAS VERY ACTIVE IN THAT REGARD AND I THINK IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE YOUNG KIDS OUT THERE TAKING ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PARKING CARS AND ALL THE REST OF THAT LEGWORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE. I THINK THEY DID A HECK OF A JOB. AND I WAS LISTENING TO A NEWS PROGRAM COMING OVER HERE AND THE SAID THE FAA NUMBERS FOR THE NEXT I THINK THEY SAID THE NEXT THIRD THROUGH 2030 WAS THE NEED FOR COMMERCIAL PILOTS AT ABOUT FOURTEEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED EIGHT A YEAR.

>> NURSES YEAH. SIMILAR YET DIFFERENT THOSE TWO I NEGLECTED TO WELCOME STU

ROBIN WE ALWAYS ENJOY HAVING YOU HERE. >> IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS AND ALSO DAVID AMES IS WITH US I SAY ON ZOOM AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT GLEN STAMFORD I SEE HIS

[15. CITIZEN COMMENT]

>> NOTHING TO SAY TO JOHN MAYBE THAT'S WHAT WE CUT BACK A LITTLE BIT IN THE SUMMER.

>> SO THE ITEMS THAT ARE ACTION IF YOU DON'T HAVE MOM ON THE AGENDA FOR THE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND UNDEREDUCATED. ALL RIGHTY, JOHN. I GUESS WE ARE READY TO ADJOURN TOO. DO I HEAR A MOTION TO TURN ON THE SECOND?
