THEY'RE OUT THERE PRACTICING TODAY SO I'LL SAY THE WEATHER STAYS LIKE THAT SO I'M THE SAME [00:05:04] WAY ALL WEEKEND LONG. DID YOU SEE THEM? NO, BUT I THOUGHT MAYBE HE WAS FOR AN EXECUTIVE GETTING BUSY. YOU THEY LANDED BEFORE YOU'RE SLIGHTLY OUT OF THE PATTERN THEN I THINK WE'LL HAVE A PERMANENT DISPLAY OUT THERE RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL GET INTO THE DIRECTORS REPORT AND I'LL SEE IF THIS IS GOING TO MOVE AT THIS TIME IT DOESN'T ALWAYS SEEM TO WORK FOR ME KNOW WHERE TO POINT THIS THING POINT RCA SO REALLY ALEC RUN THE BOARD MAYBE IT'S OVER I WOULD GET TO JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK UPDATES PERSONNEL WISE WE WELCOME BRIAN CRONIN TO THE TEAM THIS WEEK BRIAN IS GOING TO BE OUR AIRPORT FINANCE MANAGER SO HE'LL BE IN CHARGE OF ALL FINANCE AT THE AIRPORT. THIS IS A NEW POSITION FOR THE AIRPORT. IT'S A SHARED POSITION BETWEEN THE TWO AIRPORTS. BUT HE'LL BE LOCATED AT THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT. BRIAN COMES US FROM COUNTY FINANCE OF ALL PLACES AND THAT'S REALLY A GOOD THING BECAUSE HE'LL REALLY KIND OF FORM A BRIDGE OR A LIAISON BETWEEN THE AIRPORT AND COUNTY FINANCE AND THAT RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO BE VERY SOLID SO. WE'RE WE'RE HAPPY ABOUT THAT BRIAN IS GOING TO DO GREAT STUFF FOR US PRIOR TO COMING THE COUNTY BRIAN HAD BEEN WITH HIM THAT ISLAND PUBLIC SERVICE DISTRICT FOR I THINK 15 OR 16 YEARS AND HE DID ALL KINDS FINANCIAL ANALYSIS THERE YOU KNOW TREND ANALYSIS PROJECT MANAGEMENT, THAT SORT OF THING. SO BRIAN IS GOING TO ONCE HE GETS ALL SNAPPED IN AND UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE AIRPORT FINANCES, WE'LL BE ABLE TO USE HIM AT KIND OF A HIGH LEVEL TO HELP US ,YOU KNOW, GENERATE THE THE FINANCIAL PIECES TO SOME OF THE STRATEGIC DECISIONS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE AT THE AIRPORT SO YOU'LL BE SEEING HIM IN THE FUTURE MOST LIKELY AT BOARD MEETINGS AT THE VERY LEAST YOU'LL SEE HIS PRODUCTS THAT I'LL BRING FORWARD TO YOU AS FINANCIAL REPORTS. SO I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT FOR A WHILE BY HAVING PERIODIC FINANCIALS AND NOW WE'VE GOT THE TOOLS IN PLACE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. I THINK THAT WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION. WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE HIM. HE FITS PERFECTLY WITH THE TEAM SO YOU PROBABLY WON'T SEE TOO MUCH OF BUT WE'LL DRAG HIM TO A BOARD MEETING MAYBE THE NEXT ONE IN HILTON HEAD ISLAND SO YOU GUYS CAN MEET HIM. WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE HIM. AND THEN THE SECOND ONE WE'LL DO A STAFF SPOTLIGHT LIKE WE'VE DONE THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS AND THIS IS THERE WE GO THERE'S PAUL JERNIGAN THAT'S NOT WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE WHEN HE'S WORKING THE LINE DOES . THAT'S A GOOD LOOK. THIS IS CHRIS. THIS IS HIS REALTOR PICTURE. SO IF YOU'RE BUYING A HOUSE THIS IS WHEN YOU SEE THIS BUT WHEN HE'S WORKING FOR US HE'S HE'S USUALLY, YOU KNOW, RUNNING FAST IN AND OUT OF THE LINE AND TAKING OF THE CUSTOMERS AS THEY COME IN. BUT THESE ARE LONGEST SERVING LINE TECH OUT THERE AND BEFORE AN EXECUTIVE AND HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL AND WHEN WE WERE KIND OF GAPPED IN BETWEEN SUPERVISORS OUT THERE HE WAS KIND OF OUR OUR LINK THAT THEY KEPT US TOGETHER AND HELPED US KIND OF BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN SUPERVISORS. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE JOBS THAT HE DOES YOU KNOW THEY'RE THE LINEMEN OUT ARE TYPICALLY KIND OF A ONE PERSON SHOW SO THEY DO EVERYTHING FROM FUELING THE AIRCRAFT GREETING THE THE FOLKS COMING IN TO PROVIDING CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE HELPING THEM WITH RENTAL CAR PICK UPS, DROP OFFS AND EVERYTHING FROM HOTEL ADVICE RESTAURANT ADVICE TO EVERY NOW AND AGAIN A FISHING SPOT. SO WE TRY TO DO IT ALL THERE. YOU WON'T GET THE BEST FISHING SPOTS YOU GET THIRD TIER WE KEEP THE BEST ONES FOR OURSELVES BUT SO THEY DO THAT BUT THEN ALSO ON A DAILY BASIS THEY'RE CHECKING ALL OF THE AIRCRAFT THEY'RE OUT ON THE LINE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S SECURE, KIND OF DO AN INVENTORY WHO'S VISITING US? SOME FOLKS COME IN OVERNIGHT BUT THEY'RE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY INSPECTIONS. SO THE LIGHTS THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE, THEY MAKE SURE THOSE ARE OPERATIONAL. THEY CARE OF WORK ORDERS. IF WE NEED SOMETHING FIXED THEY'LL DO SOME MINOR MAINTENANCE ON THEIR OWN AND AIRFIELD MAINTENANCE LIKE MOWING AND THINGS LIKE OUR GUYS TAKE CARE OF TOO. SO ALL LEADS THE WAY ON THAT AND THEN WHEN HE'S NOT WORKING FOR US THEN HE'S A LOCAL REALTOR. HE'S BEEN DOING FOR QUITE SOME TIME AS WELL AND HE'S A PUBLIC SERVANT. YOU CAN SEE HE'S THE CHAIRMAN THE BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS. SO THAT MEANS IF GET YOUR TAX ASSESSMENTS, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK, YOU'RE GOING TO COME SEE PAUL. SO HE'S A VERY FAIR GUY. I'VE NOT HAD TO GO IN FRONT OF HIM BUT. I KNOW PAUL'S A GREAT GUY SO WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE HIM ON BOARD ON TEAM. IF YOU'VE FLOWN IN AND OUT OF THERE YOU'VE DEFINITELY RUN INTO PAUL SOME POINT BUT HE'S ALWAYS A SMILING FACE OUT THERE AND HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU. SO GLAD TO HAVE HIM ON THE TEAM . ALL RIGHT. MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE. OKAY. A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON BEFORE EXECUTIVE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE BUT THIS [00:10:03] COMING THURSDAY WE'VE GOT THE RIBBON CUTTING AND THE CHAMBER AFTER HOURS AND THE AVIATION ASSOCIATION AVIATION WEEK EVENT OUT OF THE AIRPORT. SO WE'LL BE OUT ON THE NEW FRONT PORCH ON THE AIR SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THAT'LL START AT 5:00. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKING WE WE DO HAVE SOME FOLKS DOWN FROM COLUMBIA. SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF STATE LEGISLATORS WHO HOPEFULLY MAKE IT I KNOW THEY'RE IN SESSION ON THURSDAY. SO IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON HOW THE SCHEDULE ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT IN TIME. BUT THAT WOULD BE SHANNON ERICKSON AND BILL HAGER SO FAR SAID DO THEM ALL ATTEND SO HOPEFULLY THEY CAN MAKE IT. WE'LL ALSO HAVE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF AERONAUTICS GARY SIEGFRIED WILL BE THERE. HE'LL PROBABLY SAY A FEW WORDS BECAUSE WE YOU KNOW THE AIRPORTS BENEFITED THE GRANT FUNDS FROM THE COMMISSION AND WHO ELSE IAN WILL BE THERE FROM THE CHAMBER SO YOU GET SEE IAN THEN OF COURSE ALL OF US WILL BE OUT THERE IN KIND OF THE NORMAL CHAMBER CROWD BECAUSE THIS IS THE MONTHLY CHAMBER AFTER HOURS SO IT SHOULD BE EXCITING EVENT AND JUST A GREAT CHANCE TO SHOWCASE THE NEW THE KIND THE RENOVATED TERMINAL. AND WE'RE GOING TO CUT A RIBBON TOO BECAUSE WE'RE KIND OF CALLING OUR GRAND REOPENING OF BEFORE EXECUTIVE THAT'S THURSDAY 5:00 I LOVE THE SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE THERE TOO BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL AND IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO HELP YOU CAN ALWAYS HELP. NEXT ONE ON THERE THE HANGER INSPECTIONS IF YOU'VE GOT A HANGER UP THERE YOU'VE RECEIVED AN EMAIL AND A NOTE AND THAT HAS TOLD YOU WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S ANYTHING ANY DISCREPANCIES THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH YOUR HANGER AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU NEED ANY DOCUMENTS SUCH AS INSURANCE OR THINGS LIKE THAT UPDATED OR MAYBE AN UPDATED AGREEMENT OR ERIC TOWNSEND, WHO'S OUR THE MARINE THAT WE'VE GOT WORKING WITH US WENT THROUGH THE HANGARS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND GENERATED REPORTS AND EMAILS TO ALL OF THE TENANTS. EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE THEY STAND AND WHAT THEY OWE THE AIRPORT SO ANYBODY'S WATCHING THIS OUT THERE AND IN VIEWER LAND IF YOU GOT A NOTE FROM ERIC MAKE SURE YOU GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH THEM BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO BE REACHING OUT AGAIN WITH A FOLLOW ON JUST A QUESTION ON THAT, JOHN. IF THERE WERE NO ISSUES THERE YOU DIDN'T GET AN EMAIL CORRECT OR DID EVERYBODY BECAUSE I DIDN'T RECEIVE I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU REMEMBER STEVE GOT ONE HE LOOKED AT EVERYBODY AND AT LEAST LET EVERYBODY KNOW THERE'S NO ISSUES JUST TO LET YOU KNOW. YEAH BECAUSE I THINK WE AT LEAST SENT OUT A NOTE THAT WE'D BEEN IN YOUR HANGAR OKAY I TO GO OUT OKAY CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME THE DATE AND TIME NOT NOW AFTER THE MEETING THAT WAY I CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AND MAKE SURE I DON'T HAVE IT GOING TO JUMP FOR SOME REASON I WOULD NEVER DO THAT AND OF COURSE WE WANT TO CORRECT THAT IT NEVER GOES THROUGH. THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT SO WE DO PERIODICALLY GO THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY OUGHT TO BE AND WHAT KIND OF KEEP AN EYE ON TOO BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT LIST. SO IF WE SEE THAT A HANGAR APPEARS TO BE UNOCCUPIED, WE'LL KIND OF TRACK THAT DOWN, ASK SOME QUESTIONS AND FIND OUT IF THE TENANT STILL OWNS AN AIRCRAFT AND THAT KIND OF THING . THEN THE LAST ONE JUST A HANGAR DEVELOPMENT UPDATE WE SPOKE WITH A GROUP LAST WEEK WHO'S INTERESTED POTENTIALLY IN DOING A GROUND LEASE BUILDING THE HANGAR OUT THERE. SO WE'LL SEE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF GROUPS OUT THERE AND THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF DECISIONS THAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE INDEPENDENT THE AIRPORT BEFORE THEY BRING BACK A PROPOSAL PACKAGE. BUT WE'LL HOPEFULLY NOT GET OFF THE GROUND. AND THEN WITH REGARD TO HANGARS, WE'RE STILL MOVING ON THE TI HANGARS, THE DEVELOPMENT DOWN AT THE THE NORTH END ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING TI HANGAR. SO THAT'S THAT'S DESIGN NOW AND I'LL TELL YOU NOW AND I'LL PROBABLY REMIND YOU BUT THE DESIGN AND PERMANENCY IS REALLY A LONG PART OF THIS PROCESS. THE PERMITS WILL TAKE PROBABLY EVERY BIT OF A YEAR TO GET SO YOU'LL BE HEARING FOR FROM US FOR A LONG TIME THAT WE'RE IN DESIGN AND PERMITTING. THAT'S NOT TO GIVE YOU AN EXCUSE THAT WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING BUT IT JUST IT A LONG TIME TO GET GET PERMITS HERE SO THAT'S WHERE THAT PROJECT BUT THE INTENT IS STILL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH BETTER MOVING FORWARD THAT PROJECT SO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT BEFORE THE EXECUTIVE? I JUST HAVE ONE JOHN I WAS TALKING TO MATT THE OTHER NIGHT. I ACTUALLY SHOWED UP FOR THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EARLY REAL EARLY LIKE ON TUESDAY. SO BUT MATT WAS YELLING HE WAS BEING HELD I GUESS THAT PEOPLE WERE PAYING EXTRA FOR FOR HIM TO STAY LATE. AND I KIND OF BROUGHT UP THE QUESTION I KNOW WE HAVE A FLAT FEE FOR THAT PER HOUR. HOW OFTEN DOES THAT HAPPEN? I MEAN IS THAT IS THAT ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS OR IS THAT ONLY HAPPENED MAYBE ONCE A MONTH THINK IT'S A FEW TIMES A MONTH. IT'S FAIRLY REGULAR CHARGE. IT'S REGULAR THREE OR FOUR TIMES A WEEK WHERE THEY'LL BE CALLED FOR AN AFTER HOURS AND THEY HAVE TO STAY LATE TO COVER . OKAY TWO DAYS AGO WE GOT CALL FOUR AND A HALF HOURS AND THEY NEVER SHOWED UP BUT WE STILL GO YEAH. OH WE'RE STAYING LATE. YEAH. OKAY SO TWO MORE OFTEN AFTERNOON THEN I THOUGHT OKAY GOOD. YEAH AND WE SMAC BECAUSE WE HAVE THREE OF THEM OUT THERE. [00:15:04] OH YEAH I CAN SAY IT BECAUSE I AM SHORT THE SHORT MAN OKAY. AND WE'RE TRYING TO DIFFERENTIATE BECAUSE EVERYBODY OUT THERE THEY USED TO BE ALL THE POLES, NOW IT'S ALL THE MATCH. SO WE'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH NICKNAMES OR CALL SIGNS OR SOMETHING TO KEEP THEM STRAIGHT ANYTHING ELSE WOULD BE FOR AN EXECUTIVE. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE ON TO HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT. THAT PHOTO FROM LAST WEEK THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE FOR AT LEAST ONE OF THE DAYS I THINK THAT WAS ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF HERITAGE WEEK. WE GOT PRETTY BUSY OUT THERE AND REALLY SHOUT OUT I'M GOING TO GIVE KUDOS TO OUR OWN TEAM BECAUSE WE HAD THE PERMISSION FROM THE FAA TO CLOSE OF TAXIWAY ALPHA FROM THURSDAY FROM THE ACTUAL TOURNAMENT. SO THURSDAY WITH START OF THE TOURNAMENT UNTIL MONDAY WHEN MOST OF THE FOLKS WOULD LEAVE BUT ON MONDAY OF TOURNAMENT WEEK SIGNATURE CALLED US AND SAID WE NEED YOU GUYS TO SEE YOU CAN CLOSE THAT TAXIWAY EARLY BECAUSE WE WERE JUST GETTING INUNDATED WITH AIRPLANES COMING IN AND THEY HAD NO PLACE TO PARK IN THEN RUN OF ROOM I THINK ON MONDAY THEY HAD 40 TO 50 TO 52 ARRIVALS ON MONDAY. NOW SOME OF THEM LEFT BUT WE CAN'T EVEN TAKE PASS THROUGH TRAFFIC WITH THAT MUCH AIRCRAFT ON THE RAMP SO WE DID GET THAT CLOSED FOR THEM AND KUDOS TO OUR CREW THAT OUT THERE AND PUT ALL THE BARRICADES OUT WE HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, COVER UP ALL THE SIGNAGE AND LIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND MADE IT HAPPEN. THE RAMP LOOK LIKE THAT FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE WEEK. THERE WERE SOME WHO CAME AND WENT AND A LOT OF NETJETS THREW OUT WHEELS UP PLANES JUST ALL WEEK LONG SO LOTS OF JET TRAFFIC IN THROUGH THROUGH THE SIDE. SO BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE TEAM AND THEN WE KEPT THAT IN PLACE UNTIL MONDAY MORNING AND THEN IT PRETTY CLEARED UP BY ABOUT 11:00 MONDAY MORNING. IT WAS A BUSY WEEK BUT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AN UPDATE ON THE TERMINAL BIDS. YESTERDAY WAS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THE ORIGINAL BID OPENING DAY BUT AS THE BIDS OR AS A PROJECT WAS GETTING REVALUE OR WEIGHTED BY THE DESIGN TEAM WE DO INTERNAL COST ESTIMATING AND THERE WERE SOME AREAS OF THAT PACKAGE THAT NEEDED TO HAVE A LITTLE VALUE ENGINEERING TO KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT SCOPE WAS GOING TO FIT AND SO THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON NOW. SO WE'VE EXTENDED THE BID PERIOD TO THE BEGINNING JUNE SO WE'LL WE'LL GIVE THE BIDDER SOME MORE TIME. THERE'LL BE SOME MORE COMMUNICATIONS, PROBABLY SOME ADDITIONAL ADDENDA THAT GET ISSUED BY THE DESIGN TEAM IN ORDER TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS WITHIN THAT PACKAGE AND OF COURSE WHENEVER YOU PUT A PROJECT THAT THAT'S COMPLEX THAT COMPLEX OUT FOR BID YOU DO GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS IN FROM FROM THE BIDDERS AND WERE A LOT COMING IN SO IT'S GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL TO THE BIDS TO EXTEND THIS PERIOD A LITTLE BIT MAKE SURE THE DESIGN DESIGN TEAM CAN ANSWER ALL THOSE QUESTIONS, MAKE ALL THE CLARIFICATIONS THEY NEED AND GIVE THOSE BIDDERS A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO TO GET ALL OF THEIR SUBS TOGETHER. IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED PROJECT SO THAT'LL BE THE BEGINNING OF JUNE WE HOPE AND THAT I THINK IS IT THE SEVENTH DUTY OKAY THAT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CORRECT. JUNE 7TH IS THE NEW BID OPENING DATE FOR THAT JUST A QUICK RECAP OF THE TSA PRECHECK EVENT THAT WE DID A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THAT WAS A I'LL SAY IS IT WAS A WILD SUCCESS OR A LITTLE BIT CHAOTIC BECAUSE STARTING MONDAY OF THAT WEEK THE PARKING LOT OVER 26 ON ROAD WAS FULL AND SO ALL OF THE SPOTS WERE FILLED AND THEN THERE WERE WALK INS ALL WEEK TOO SO THAT THE PERSON WHO WAS THERE DOING WORK FOR THE PRIVATE COMPANY WHO RUNS THIS REALLY GOT TO WORK THAT WEEK. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THEY FINALLY PROCESSED BECAUSE I THINK THEY ALL WENT INTO HIDING AFTER THE EVENT. IT WAS A LOT AND THEY WERE CONSTANTLY MOVING PEOPLE THROUGH THERE SO I THINK THE APPOINTMENTS TOOK 20 MINUTES APIECE AND THEY THEY CYCLE PEOPLE THROUGH PRETTY MUCH ALL DAY FOR A MONEY 9 TO 5 AND THERE'S A QUICK LUNCH BREAK SO THEY COULD CATCH THEIR BREATH. TOM I KNOW YOU WORKED A GOOD BIT OVER THERE AND WE HAD A COUPLE OTHER BOARD WHO VOLUNTEERED TO KIND OF HELP JUST RECEIVE PEOPLE AND I MEAN WE HAD NO WE'D HAVE THAT THAT MANY PEOPLE COMING IN SO THE COMPANY THAT RAN THIS CALL IDEMIA HAS ASKED US TO DO A COUPLE MORE EVENTS SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WE ARE NOW IN THAT BUILDING USING THAT BUILDING AS A AS A SECURITY FACILITY. SO WE WERE A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGED ON SPACE NOW SO WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN MAKE THAT WORK. BUT THERE WAS A HUGE DEMAND FOR THAT EVENT AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO YOU KNOW BASICALLY FOLLOW THAT COMPANY TRYING TO FIND THE CLOSEST ONE TO THEM AND SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT SO IT'S IN HIGH DEMAND AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO ACCOMMODATE SOME ADDITIONAL EVENTS. JOHN I KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OR NOT BUT THIS ONE GENTLEMAN THAT RUNS THAT BY HIMSELF HE GOES AROUND TO NFL GAMES AND SETS UP A TRAILER AND PROCESSES PEOPLE THERE. HE'S VERY COMPETENT AT BEING WHAT HE'S DOING. YEAH, THAT'S AMAZING MAN ONE [00:20:04] MAN SHOW ALL THE TIME AND HE KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO HANDLE SO YEAH IT'S INTERESTING THAT'S A GIFT. I MEAN THAT'S HATS OFF. WHEN THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON COMING I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. BUT THE ONLY CONCERN FOR US AT THE AIRPORT IS IF WE GET TOO MANY PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR TSA PRECHECK OUR PRE-CHECK LINE GOING TO BE OUT THE DOOR AND YOU KNOW THE ABOUT OUR AIRPORT IS WE STILL HAVE ONE SCREENING LINE SO YOU'RE GOING TO FUNNEL INTO THE SAME PLACE BUT IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH ANOTHER BECAUSE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FLY BACK HOME TO US THEN YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE PRE-CHECK AND IT WILL BE THERE WITH THE NEW TERMINAL. WE'LL HAVE A SEPARATE LINE FOR PRE-CHECK BUT YEAH, A BIG BENEFIT AND A HUGE, HUGE NEED FOR IT I GUESS. ALL RIGHT THEN THEY JUST KIND OF RECAP HERITAGE ALREADY BUT WAS THERE ANYTHING I MISSED ON THAT? STEVE WE DON'T HAVE FINAL NUMBERS BACK YET. WE DON'T HAVE FINAL NUMBERS BUT WE DID GET A LOT OF LESSONS THINGS WE CAN DO BETTER FOR NEXT YEAR IN MOVING INTO THE KEY STORES IN JUST OVER A MONTH. SO YES, WE HAVE ANOTHER EVENT IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY WHEN WE EXPECT A HUGE INFLUX OF JETS BIG CORPORATE JETS AS WELL. SO WE'LL THERE'S WHAT KIND OF THIS IS OUR DRESS REHEARSAL FOR THAT AND WE'LL BE READY FOR THEM AND CREWS GETTING PRETTY GOOD AT BLOCKING OFF THAT TAXIWAY SO WE'LL JUST DO WE NEED TO DO TO ACCOMMODATE FOLKS COMING INTO ISLAND AND EVENTUALLY WE'LL BUILD MORE RAMP SPACE HOPEFULLY CERTAINLY AS THE DEMAND. ALL RIGHT I THINK THAT DOES IT FOR THAT THAT COULD WE USE LW FOUR FOR PRECHECK WE'VE GOT ROOM WE'VE GOT SPACE FOR PRECHECK YEAH. TO DO TO DO THE PRE-CHECK WELL THAT'S A POSSIBILITY BECAUSE WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT PARKING AND WE'VE GOT THAT YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT THE CONFERENCE ROOM I KNOW I SENT SEVERAL PEOPLE OVER AND SOME PEOPLE COULDN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT I KNOW AND BUT THAT MAY BE A SOLUTION. THAT'S GOOD. I HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT CHRIS. I MEAN I THINK ONLY DOWNSIDE TO THAT CHRIS IS THAT THE BULK OF THE PEOPLE COME FROM BLUFFTON HILTON AND SOME COME DOWN FROM BEAUFORT. WHEN I GO THROUGH JIM'S COMMITTEE REPORT HE HAD SOME NOTES ON THAT AND THE FACT IS THAT YOU CAN ALSO GET DOWN TO SAVANNAH IS A PRIVATE COMPANY IN SAVANNAH DOES ALL THE TSA SO THEY'RE THERE FOR YOU MAY BE AN ALTERNATE PROCESS MAYBE EVERY NOW AND THEN UP AT IWM THAT COULD HELP THAT MIGHT WORK OUT FOR SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE ON THE NORTHERN END OF OUR TERRITORY. ALL RIGHT WELL THAT ENDS MY REPORT AND TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE CHAIRMAN. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE HAVE AS I RECALL, WE HAVE NO UNFINISHED BUSINESS. DON'T SIT DOWN, JOHN. ANYBODY WITH UNFINISHED BUSINESS THEY'D LIKE TO ADDRESS ANYBODY ONLINE? NONE. JOHN, COME BACK TO THE ACTION ITEMS. WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE ACTION ITEM SLIGHTLY. WE HAVE ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN TODAY. WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEM AT THE [11. RECOMMENDATION OF CONTRACT AWARD FOR TERMINAL TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS TO TRINITY ELECTRICAL IN THE AMOUNT OF $268,695.00 - VOTE] END OF THE ACTION ITEMS AND LET JOHN RUN THROUGH THE AIRPORT ACTION ITEMS FIRST. ALL RIGHT. FAIR ENOUGH. SO WE'LL JUMP TO NUMBER 11 ON YOUR AGENDA AND A RECOMMENDATION CONTRACT AWARD NOTES FOR TRINITY AND THIS IS FOR THE TOWER PROJECT THAT WE'VE GOT AND THIS IS AN UPGRADE TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT IN THE TOWER. SO THIS IS ONE IF YOU REMEMBER WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A GRANT BACK AUGUST AND THEN WE WENT WE DEVELOPED THE PROJECT AND BID IT OUT AND TRINITY CAME BACK IS IS THE WINNER THAT ONE SO WE'RE READY TO GO AHEAD AND PREPARE A CONTRACT AND AWARDED TO TRINITY YOU CAN SEE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT THERE WHICH IS LESS THAN THE FAA GRANT WHICH IS PERFECT SO AND IT'S 100% FAA FUNDED ON THIS ONE. SO WHAT WITH ONE TO THE PROCESS IS IT WILL GO FROM THE AIRPORT'S BOARD TO A COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL AND THEN THE FULL COUNCIL BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF THE CONTRACT. RIGHT WE'LL ACCEPT THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE AWARD FOR THE TERMINAL TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS WHICH WILL GO TO TRINITY ELECTRICAL IN THE AMOUNT OF $268,695 THE MOTION AND I'LL BE SECOND FROM THIS ANY ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS HEARING NONE ON FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY SAYING I OR FOR THOSE ONLINE RAISING HANDS I I ANY OPPOSED HEARING ON MOTION PASSES ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH SO WE'LL THAT WILL MOVE ON TO COMMITTEE FOR THE MAY MEETING [12. HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT (HXD) - TBE WORK AUTHORIZATION 2119-2301 - VOTE] OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SAFETY COMMITTEE ITEM 12 IS THE TOWER BRIAN ELLINGTON WORK AUTHORIZATION AND WHAT THAT IS YOU MAY REMEMBER I DESCRIBED THE AIRPORT DESIGN CHANGING FROM A C TO AIRPORT TO AC3 AIRPORT AND THAT THAT HAS SOME IMPLICATIONS ON JUST THE LAYOUT [00:25:02] OF AIRPORT AND SOME OF THE DIMENSIONS THAT ARE FAA. SO WHAT THIS IS IS AN AP UPDATE AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN UPDATE TO JUST EVALUATE ALTERNATIVES RELATIVE TO THAT CHANGE FROM C TO TO C THREE. SO WE'LL GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE AIRPORT AND ALL THE DIFFERENT PRESCRIPTIONS THAT THE FAA HAS FOR AC3 RAIL YOU KNOW MOVING ON FROM C DUE TO C THREE AND THEN SEE HOW THAT AFFECTS THE AIRPORT AND DIFFERENT DECISION POINTS AT THE AMOUNT OF THAT. SO THIS IS THE EFFORT TO LINE THAT UP. IT IS ONE THAT IS REQUIRED BY THE FAA JUST TALBOT TO ACTUALLY MAKE THE PROPOSAL FOR THAT OR IS THAT PROPOSAL COME FROM YOU AFTER CONSULTING TALBOT TO THE FAA? IT'LL COME FROM THE AIRPORT FROM THE AIRPORT DIRECTLY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN AND ITEM? ALL RIGHT SO WE'LL ACCEPT A MOTION TO APPROVE THE TOBIN WRIGHT WORK AUTHORIZATION NUMBERS 2119 THROUGH 2301 LESLIE IS MAKING THE MOTION NO SECOND TIME OR SECOND ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION QUESTIONS BOARD MEMBERS HERE ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE BY SAYING I HANDS PLEASE ANY OPPOSED HEARING ON THE MOTION PASSES ALL RIGHT AND THAT ONE WILL GO JUST TO COMMITTEE BECAUSE THE DOLLAR VALUE GO TO FULL COUNCIL SO I'LL GO TO COMMITTEE AND THEN [13.

AND THEN THE LAST ITEM ON THERE I'M GOING TO HAND IT BACK TO THE CHAIRMAN BECAUSE IS THE RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED BUDGET. I SENT YOU ALL OUT A KIND OF A CONDENSED VERSION OF THAT THE OTHER DAY TO TAKE A LOOK AT. THAT'S WHAT WE SAT DOWN AND REVIEWED WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE THIS WEEK. AND MR.

AS HOWARD SAID WE MET WITH JOHN, STEVE AND, BRIAN, THE NEW FINANCE MANAGER AND. JOHN WENT OVER THE NUMBERS. IF ANYONE I ASSUME EVERYONE HAS LOOKED AT THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE THAT THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT BUDGET REDUCTION IS FROM THE IMPACT OF THE SUMMER OF 21 ALL THE INCREASE THEY RECEIVED FROM THE COMMERCIAL OPERATION AS OVER THE YEARS AND SO THAT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THE PROPOSED 24 BUDGET AND THE HIGHLIGHT BEFORE THE EXECUTIVE IS A RECALL IS A LOT OF TIME WAS SPENT ON THE PROPOSED HANGAR HANGARS TO BE PUT INTO THE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT AND ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE TO PREPARE FOR THAT GET THE PAUL PROPOSALS OUT THE TYPE OF HANGARS AND SO FORTH AND THE HOPEFULLY THE REVENUE THEY'LL BE COMING FROM THE NEW HANGARS THERE THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMMARIZES IT AND THE COMMITTEE PROPOSES APPROVAL OF THIS PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 25 ONE CORRECTION ERROR I JUST MADE PART OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE IN ATTENDING THE MEETING WAS AND SORRY FORGOT ABOUT THAT AND SO VERY MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT.

WE'VE HEARD THE BUDGET COMMITTEE JIM COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. HE HAD A PRIOR COMMITMENT BUT HE WAS A VOLUNTEER AT THE TSA EVENT AND DIDN'T SEND ALONG THE COMMITTEE REPORT WHICH I'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD AT THIS TIME. HE VOLUNTEERED FOR A FULL DAY. IT WAS ON FRIDAY, MARCH 31ST. HE SPENT THE DAY THERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE ORGANIZATION AT TSA AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP BY COUNT WHICH IS NOT AN OFFICIAL COUNT. HE WAS JUST CHECKING MARKS ON A PIECE OF PAPER. THERE WERE 30 MORNING APPOINTMENTS SCHEDULED 28 IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE WERE FIVE NO SHOWS IN THE MORNING, FIVE NO SHOWS IN THE AFTERNOON BUT THERE WERE 31 WALK INS THAT WERE ACCOMMODATED IN THE MORNING AND 30 WALK INS IN THE AFTERNOON. SO ROUGHLY HUNDRED AND NINE PEOPLE THROUGH THAT PLACE IN THAT SINGLE DAY WHICH AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION TSA NEEDS A PROCESS FOR CHECKING PEOPLE THROUGH SO HE WAS REALLY ENCOURAGED TO SEE THE THE PARTICIPATION BY THE PUBLIC AT THIS THING AND AS JOHN ALREADY MENTIONED, I THINK LESLIE BROUGHT UP AS WELL HE IS ENCOURAGING THE AIRPORT'S DIRECTOR TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE THIS AN ANNUAL EVENT AS LONG AS THE NUMBERS ARE MAINTAINED OVER THE YEARS SINCE IT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT TO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC AND AROUND THE AIRPORT. AND TO CHRIS'S POINT, MAYBE EVERY NOW AND THEN IT SHOULD MOVE UP TO THE BEAUFORT AREA SO FOLKS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR AREA ON MARKET WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO USE THE TSA PROCESS WITHOUT HAVING TO TRAVEL DOWN TO HILTON HEAD. DID ANYBODY DID ANYBODY DO IT ON THE BOARD? I YOU DID. I DID TWO DAYS THERE AND NO I MEAN DID YOU GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND NO I'M BEEN DOING IT SINCE THE BEGINNING DID JIM DID OKAY. YEAH HE TOLD ME THEY LOST HIM APPARENTLY IF YOUR TSA PRECHECK NUMBER YOUR NON TRAVEL NUMBER EXPIRES YEAH IF YOU DON'T IT WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF EXPIRATION YOU HAVE TO GO RIGHT WE HAD SEVERAL YOU HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE LIKE THAT. MY COMMENT IS THE BIGGEST COMMENT FROM THE WALK WAS I COULDN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT AND I COULDN'T REALLY THAT QUESTION THE OTHER THING IS I THINK THE TWO DAYS ARE THEY'RE TALKING TO THE WRONG GENTLEMAN DID IT HE WAS VERY HE RUN TWO PEOPLE AT ONCE IT WAS IMPRESSIVE WAS HE DID ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER WALK INS AS APPOINTMENTS EVERY DAY YOU KNOW I THINK HE WAS AROUND 80 HE DID A DAY IN TOTAL SO IT WAS AN IMPRESSIVE OPERATION. LIKE I SAID, THE BIGGEST TAKE MOST PEOPLE I CAN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT AND AND THERE WAS ONLY A VERY FEW PEOPLE CAME WITH THE WRONG DOCUMENTS AND AS [00:35:03] YOU MENTIONED THE KNOWN CREW TRAVELERS NUMBER WAS YOUR WRONG OR YOU EXPIRED FOR FIVE YEARS. CORRECT. THE PRE-CHECK? YES. THINGS THAT AS A GROWING NUMBER AND IT'S THE SAME WITH GLOBAL NBA. YEAH BECAUSE IF YOU TRAVEL WITHIN THAT SIX MONTH RATE. YEAH. I'M BEING VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE I STAY ON TOP OF YEAH AND GENERALLY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO EVER GO BACK YOU'RE SIGNED UP YOU JUST DO IT RENEW IT BUT YOU HAVE TO RENEW IT WITHIN SIX MONTHS RIGHT YEAH ON LINE IF YOU DON'T MAKE THAT MARK AND YOU CAN RENEW AND YOU CAN RENEW IN SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO YOUR EXPIRATION DATE SO THAT'S WHAT I DO. GOOD INFORMATION. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING AND FOR JIM ALSO AND THANK YOU VOLUNTEERING PERHAPS WHEN IT COMES BACK TO KIND OF A FEW MORE BOARD MEMBERS STEP UP NEXT YEAR AND PARTICIPATE IN SOME REALLY AN INTERESTING PROCESS. JIM HAS ALSO SUGGESTED, JOHN, THAT WE FIND A WAY TO PERHAPS CREATE A PRESS RELEASE ABOUT THE BENEFITS THAT THE AIRPORT IS PROVIDING TO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC BY COORDINATING THIS TYPE OF EVENT POST EVENT PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE HELPFUL. SO MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT AS WE GO FORWARD. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'VE HAD BUDGET COMMITTEE WE'VE HAD THE MONITORING COMMITTEE ANY OF THE COMMITTEE REPORTS OR DEBBIE WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY JOHN HEARING NONE. WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS COMMENTS. I'LL MAKE A COMMENT AS A BOARD MEMBER WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED. BUT WHEN WE'RE DONE SAY DAVID [Additional item] NOTHING ELSE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NONE BEFORE WE ADJOURN. WAS IT JUST A COMMENT ABOUT OUR BOARD MEMBERSHIP? I NOTICE WE'RE SHORT TWO MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD NOW AND I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING PEOPLE TO STEP TO THE PLATE IS WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD MIX OF BOARD MEMBERS BECAUSE IN OUR RULES IT SAYS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO NORTH OF THE BROAD SCHOOL BOARD THE BROAD AND I AS WE ARE RECRUITING FOR NEW BOARD MEMBERS. I REALLY THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE LOOK TO MORE NORTH OF THE BROAD PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE SO WE CAN CORRECT THAT INEFFICIENCY OF NOT YOU KNOW GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY SINCE WE ARE A BOARD THAT REPRESENTS TO AIRPORTS RIGHT NOW THERE'S ONLY TWO NORTH OF BOARD MEMBERS AND WHAT OTHER NINE SEVEN ARE AS MARK NORTH OR C SO NO THE TWO VACANCIES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST SO FOR OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ONE IS A PILOT TENANT AT THE AIRPORT THE OTHER IS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. AND JOHN AND I HAVE HAD A LITTLE BACK AND FORTH AND AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE BOARD IN SOME PROPOSED BASIC CHANGES IN ELIGIBILITY FOR THE BROAD BOARD WHICH SLIGHTLY BROADENS THE DEFINITION SO ABLE TO FILL THE SPOTS WITH CAPABLE QUALIFIED PEOPLE AND THAT'LL HELP FOR SOUTH OF THE BROAD AS WELL BECAUSE THAT SAME THE DEFINITIONS ARE VERY NARROW AT THE MOMENT IT'S MY FEELING THAT THEY NEED TO BE BROADENED SLIGHTLY WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING THE INTENT OF THE LEGISLATION SO THAT CONVERSATION GO ON A LITTLE FURTHER AS YOU LOOK AT IT WILL YOU TRY TO EVEN IT OUT A LITTLE MORE SO WE DON'T HAVE LOPSIDED SO MANY SOUTH OF THE BOARD AND I THINK IT'S PRETTY EVEN NOW AS NEW WITH 11 AND TWO YEAH THERE'S WELL IT'S SEVEN IT'S SEVEN AND TWO NOW ONLY BECAUSE WE'RE MISSING TWO NORTH OF THE BOARD MEMBERS RIGHT SO WE REALLY HAVE SEVEN SO THOSE VACANCIES WILL BE FILLED. YES THE REQUIREMENT IS THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT THOSE TO BE FILLED BY NORTH OF ONE PILOT IN HANGAR AND ONE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND IT'S THAT AREA WE'RE TRYING TO BROADEN A LITTLE BIT TO BALANCE SOME OF THE STUFF OUT AND MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER TO FIND QUALIFIED PEOPLE TO SIT THE BOARD SO WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE A LOT OF TIME LOOKING FOR FOLKS AND AS LESLIE SAID EARLIER IS A GOOD REMINDER. THANK YOU ESPECIALLY THE FOLKS NORTH OF THE BROAD KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN ESPECIALLY FOR THE PILOT TENANT. YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF FOLKS UP THERE. MAYBE THEY WANT TO DO A PUBLIC SERVICE AND JOIN THE BOARD AND SOME OF THE FOLKS OVER THERE THAT PROCESS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY. I'LL KEEP THE BOARD INFORMED JOHN'S IN THE LOOP AS OBVIOUSLY AS WELL AND THE CHANGES ON THE DEFINITION WILL GO THROUGH COUNTY COUNCIL, IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. OKAY RIGHT THE COUNTY COUNCIL THE PROCESS IS JOHN WE'LL SEE IT BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING THEN THE PROCESS I GUESS CLOSE THE COUNTY CLERK IS WILL DETERMINE WHETHER NOT SUITABLE TO PASS ON AND IF IT GOES BEYOND THAT THEN THE COUNCIL TO READ IT. IS THAT JUST ONE VOTE OR IS THAT LIKE A DOUBLE TO OR ANYTHING JUST ONE. OKAY. SO I HOPE WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS DEPENDS PARTICIPANTS IF IT'S THE CHANGES THE LANGUAGE OF THE ORDINANCE WHICH I SUSPECT IT WILL THEN IT WOULD BE IT'D BE THREE READINGS, THREE READINGS. [00:40:01] YEAH WELL I BELIEVE I BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE CHECK TO BE SURE IF IT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT A BRAND NEW ORDINANCE THAT DEFINITELY IS THREE I'LL SEE IF AN AMENDMENT OR YES DEFINITELY A LANGUAGE CHANGES WE BROADEN IT SLIGHTLY DEFINITION SO IF WE GOT SOMEBODY THAT THE LANGUAGE CHANGE WOULD BRING IN IT MAYBE THAT THEY'VE GOT AWAY AND THE QUESTION IS HOW LONG WOULD THEY HAVE TO WAIT BASED ON NUMBER READINGS IT HAS TO GO THROUGH? WELL THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE ARE MORE APPLICATIONS IN THE HOPPER SO TO SPEAK WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE NOW THAN THERE REALLY EVER HAVE BEEN. SO I THINK IT'S A MATTER OF OF FIGURING OUT IF THEY FIT IN THE DIFFERENT SEAT QUALIFICATIONS AND IF THEY DO THEN WE COULD END UP WITH A COUPLE NEW BOARD HERE. WELL, I THINK I THINK WE'RE ABLE TO IF AS I WOULD FOR ME IF IF NEED BE IF I NEED TO MOVE BECAUSE I COME IN UNDER A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT QUALIFICATIONS IF I WOULD NEED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT TO HELP OUT. SO THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM BUT I THINK JOHN I THINK ONE OF THE PROBLEMS AND YOU CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG WHEN I LOOKED AT THE THE APPLICATIONS IN THE HOPPER ,I DIDN'T SEE ANY APPLICATIONS IN THE HOPPER FROM NORTH THE BROAD I KNOW WE HAVE SEVERAL IN THE IN THE HOPPER FOR SOUTH OF THE BROAD I HAD ONE CONVERSATION WITH A GENTLEMAN PROBABLY THREE WEEKS AGO NORTH OF THE BROAD ENCOURAGED HIM TO PUT AN APPLICATION. I THINK AND I BRIEFLY DISCUSSED THE NAME BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN AN APPLICATION FOR THAT POSITION YET SO YEAH WE NEED ENCOURAGEMENT TO GET SOME FOLKS AND MAYBE ME ON THE NORTH SIDE. YEAH PEOPLE MAY NOT WANT HANG OUT WITH ME I'M THE CHAIRMAN. YEAH THAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE THE THING I, I JUST WANT TO STAY MARRIED YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO TRY TO FIX THAT. ALL RIGHT.
