[VII. DIRECTOR’S REPORT]

HAVE OUR WIVES COME.

WE GOT ONE OVER THERE.

BRING A FRIEND NEXT TIME.

FREE ADMISSION.

WE DON'T EVEN CHARGE FOR THIS THING.

DONUTS AND COFFEE, JOE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT YEAH, I KNOW THAT WILL WORK, RIGHT? FOOD, FOOD TYPICALLY WORKS.

IT'D BE AIRLINE, DONUTS AND COFFEE.

IT'S OCTOBERFEST, RIGHT? CAN MAKE IT WORK.

UM, WELCOME TO OCTOBER ALREADY.

I CAN'T JUST GOT USED TO WRITING 20, 20 30.

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WRITE 2024 HERE IN A LITTLE BIT.

UM, I'M GONNA SEE IF THIS THING WORKS.

IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK, BUT GIVE IT A SHOT.

ALRIGHT, SO FIRST THING WE WANT TO DO IS HIGHLIGHT A STAFFER.

IT WORKED OR DID YOU TIME? ME .

LET'S TRY THE NEXT ONE.

SO WE'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT A STAFF MEMBER EACH TIME, JUST SO, UM, Y'ALL GET A CHANCE TO, TO MEET THEM.

SO THIS IS DAVE LILLY.

IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND THE AIRPORT AT ALL, YOU'VE PROBABLY MET DAVE.

HE'S OUR, UM, LONGEST SERVING EMPLOYEE.

HE'S ALSO, STEVE WANTED ME TO POINT OUT, HE'S ALSO OUR SHORTEST EMPLOYEE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT WAS IMPORTANT, BUT IT WAS FUNNY.

UM, BUT DAVE IS, HE'S BEEN ON OUR R SQUAD, UM, FOR UH, LIKE I SAYS, FOR QUITE A LONG TIME HERE, ALMOST 20 YEARS WITH US.

AND HE IS GOT AN EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND IN PUBLIC SAFETY AND, UH, THE ARF BUSINESS.

UM, SO YOU CAN SEE, KIND OF SEE WHAT HE DOES THERE.

BUT, UM, DAVE'S BEEN, HE ALSO WORKED WITH, UM, BOY, I FORGET IF IT WAS PIEDMONT.

WAS IT PIEDMONT? GEE, DO YOU REMEMBER PROGRESS? UH, HE WORKED WITH ONE OF THE AIRLINES FOR A WHILE.

SO HE WAS ALWAYS IN THE KNOW ON WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE DASH EIGHTS AND STUFF WHEN WE WERE STILL DEALING WITH THOSE, UH, TURBO PROPS.

UM, BUT DAVE HAS A SUPERPOWER THAT HELPS US OUT.

AND HIS SUPERPOWER IS SPOTTING ANY CONTRACTOR OR ANY BUSINESS WHO'S OPERATING ON THE AIRPORT AND DOESN'T HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH US.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DOES IT, BUT HE'LL JUST CALL US OUT OF THE BLUE ONE DAY AND SAY, HEY, DO YOU GUYS HAVE AN OPERATING AGREEMENT WITH A B, C PLANE DETAILING? AND WE'LL LOOK IT UP.

AND, AND WE DON'T.

AND, AND WE'LL GET AN AGREEMENT SET UP WITH HIM.

SO THERE'S ANYBODY OUT THERE IN TV, TV LAND.

HE WANTS TO DO BUSINESS ON THE AIRPORT.

MAKE SURE YOU GET AN AGREEMENT WITH US OR DAVE WILL CATCH IT.

SO THAT'S HIS SUPERPOWER.

SO THIS IS OUR, UM, VIDEO DRUMMER ROLL HERE.

AT A FREE FLIGHT, UM, THIS IS ON THE NEXT SLIDE TOO.

WE HAVE A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OUT AT THE AIRPORT.

UM, REALLY BEEN NEEDING THIS AND WINDING THIS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

UM, I KNOW IT'S A SMALL STEP, UH, BUT IT'S HUGE FOR US.

'CAUSE THIS REPLACES, UM, SHOVELS IN FIVE GALLON BUCKETS FOR MOVING, LITERALLY FOR GETTING READY FOR INSPECTIONS, REPLACING EROSION ISSUES OUT THERE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S SUCH A SANDY ENVIRONMENT.

EVERY TIME WE HAVE A A BIG RAIN, WE HAVE EROSION ISSUES THAT FRANKLY KNOCK US OUTTA COMPLIANCE WITH PART 1 3 9.

SO THIS IS GONNA MAKE THINGS A LOT BETTER.

UM, SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF, UH, DIFFERENT ATTACHMENTS THAT GO ON THIS AS WELL.

THERE'S A, A BUSH HOG ATTACHMENT THAT'S GONNA ALLOW US TO GET INTO SOME AREAS TO

[00:05:01]

CLEAN THINGS UP.

WE'VE GOT FORKS SO WE CAN HELP UNLOAD THINGS WHEN SOMETIMES THE AIRLINES GET DELIVERIES AND THERE'S NO WAY TO UNLOAD TRUCKS.

UM, OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOT THE BUCKET ON IT AND IT'S ALSO GOT A, UH, A, A GRAPPLE CLAW ON IT AS WELL, SO IT CAN, YOU KNOW, PICK THINGS UP, MOVE THINGS AROUND.

BUT, UM, AND IT'S ALSO A GOOD STRESS RELIEVER FOR AN AIRPORT DIRECTOR, .

'CAUSE IF YOU HAVE, YOU'VE BEEN IN MY OFFICE, YOU'VE SEEN THE BIG DIRT PILE BY THE OFFICE.

SO I COULD JUST CALL DAN UP AND SAY, BRING, BRING THE BOBCAT DOWN.

I'M A LITTLE STRESSED THIS AFTERNOON.

I NEED TO GO MOVE SOME DIRT.

UM, SO IT WORKS FOR ME.

IT'S MY LITTLE THERAPY TOY.

YOU CAN MAKE SOME SNOW WITH IT TOO.

IF WE MOVE SNOW WITH THAT THING.

WE HAVE PROBLEMS, MARK.

BUT I GUESS IN A PINCH WE COULD, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD TO MOVE LIKE A FEW YEARS AGO, 2018, WE HAD TO MOVE, UH, ICE OFF OF THE RUNWAY.

UM, AND, AND LUCKILY WE HAD A BROOM TRACTOR AND IT AND IT MOVED IT OFF LIKE THAT.

SO WE CAN DO IT IT IN CHARLESTON, KENT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE DID.

WE BEAT THEM OPEN.

SO WE BEAT THEM IN SAVANNAH.

OKAY, QUICK, UH, JUST GENERAL UPDATE ON THE, ON THE, UH, DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW.

STEVE AND ERIC ARE BOTH AT THE SOUTHERN REGION CONFERENCE UP IN ATLANTA.

IT IS A CONFERENCE THAT IS JUST CHOCK FULL OF, OF GREAT INFORMATION.

UM, IT'S F A A STUFF, SO IT IS ALL TECHNICAL.

UH, SO THOSE GUYS ARE KIND OF DIVIDING AND CONQUERING AND ATTENDING A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT SESSIONS.

SO THEY'LL COME BACK WITH A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION.

UM, SOME OF IT'S GA RELATED.

UH, MOST OF IT IS COMMERCIAL RELATED AND SOME PART 1 39 STUFF AS WELL.

SO PRETTY INTENSE STARTED, UH, LET'S SEE, STARTED TUESDAY EVENING AND IT GOES THROUGH THE END OF THE DAY TODAY.

SO THEY'RE GONNA COME BACK, UM, TONIGHT AND PROBABLY BE PRETTY TIRED, BUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF SOME GOOD TRAINING THAT COMES FROM IT.

SO, UM, THAT IS A GREAT CONFERENCE.

WE JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND IN PERSON IN THE PAST, SO WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE 'EM THERE.

WE DO HAVE A COUPLE NEW STAFF MEMBERS, UM, SPENCER, I'M SORRY, SPENCER.

LAST NAME IS, I THINK IS HOW YOU SAY IT, BUT I'M NOT FOR SURE.

WE CALL HIM SPENCER.

UH, HE'S WORKING OUT AT A R W TODAY, YOUNG GUY.

HIS DAD'S AN AIRLINE PILOT AND HE'S GOT DREAMS OF BECOMING A PILOT AS WELL.

UM, BUT HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB ALREADY ON INDEPENDENT DUTY OUT THERE.

REAL QUICK STUDY.

UM, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE GUY.

JUST REALLY GETS IT OUT THERE.

SO IF YOU'RE OUT AT A R W, UM, YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE SPENCER WORKING, UM, PRETTY AMBITIOUS GUY.

SO GLAD TO HAVE HIM.

AND THEN WE HAVE A NEW, UM, GENTLEMAN STARTING AT HILTON HEAD NEXT WEEK.

I HAVE NOT YET MET HIM, BUT IT, IT'S, UH, RENEE AGAIN, TOUGH LAST NAME.

SAGAL, I THINK.

SO WE'LL CALL HIM RENEE.

BUT ANYWAY, HE'S A KIND OF JACK OF ALL TRADES, UH, MAINTENANCE TECH.

SO HE'S COMING ON THE MAINTENANCE TEAM AND HE'LL BE ABLE TO HELP ROB OUT WITH THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT TEND TO BREAK AT AN OLD AIRPORT, OLD FACILITY LIKE OURS.

SO BE GLAD TO HAVE HIM AS WELL.

BUT BOTH ARE GREAT NEW, UM, ADDITIONS.

WE DO HAVE A FIREFIGHTER SPOT RIGHT NOW THAT'S OUT, UM, BEING ADVERTISED.

SO OUT THERE IN, UH, OUR VAST VIEWING AUDIENCE, IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO'S EVER WANTED TO BE AN OUR, UH, FIREFIGHTER, COME ON AND CHECK THAT OUT.

SO THERE, RIGHT NOW, THOSE ARE THE ONLY OPPORTUNITIES.

I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY OPEN ONE WE'VE GOT RIGHT NOW IS THAT FIREFIGHTER SPOT SINCE WE FILLED THE OTHER TWO.

UH, LET'S SEE, OTHER AGENDA ITEMS. UH, THE ONES THAT MOVED THROUGH FOR APPROVAL, UM, LAST MONTH, YOU FOLKS VOTED TO PUSH THROUGH THE, UM, THE LEASE, UM, OUTTA A R W, THE GROUND LEASE FOR HIGH TIDE, UM, TOURS SO THAT THEY CAN EVENTUALLY GET TO THE POINT WHERE THEY BUILD A, UH, A HANGAR OUT THERE FOR THE BUSINESS THAT'S MOVING THROUGH.

COUNCIL, UH, HAD FIRST READING, UM, TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE CONTRACT WITH EDISON FORD, THE, THE LEASE AGREEMENT SO THEY CAN USE THE SPACE AT 30.

HUNTER ROAD IS TRACKING ALONG IN PARALLEL.

SO THAT ALSO HAD FIRST READING.

SO ONCE THOSE GET THROUGH THIRD READING, THEY'LL BOTH BE OFFICIAL ORDINANCES AND EVERYTHING WILL BE GOOD AND, AND FOLKS CAN, CAN MOVE IN AND OPERATE.

SO IF, IF YOU RECALL ANYTIME WE'RE LEASING COUNTY PROPERTY OTHER THAN THE, THE HANGERS, UM, IT NEEDS TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH BY STATE LAW AS AN ORDINANCE.

SO A LITTLE BIT LONGER PROCESS, BUT IT'S OKAY.

WE KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS, SO THAT'S A THE BIG THING.

ALRIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT BEFORE I MOVE ALONG? I GO QUICK ON HIGH TIGHT, NOT OPERATING YET.

ARE THEY GONNA WAIT TILL THE HANGAR IS COMPLETE BEFORE THEY START OPERATIONS OR WILL THEY OPERATE FROM THE RAMP WHILE IT'S BEING CONSIDERED NOW THOUGH? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

AND THEY WILL OPERATE BEFORE THE, THE HANGAR'S THERE.

'CAUSE THIS, IT'LL BE, YOU KNOW, COUPLE YEARS PROBABLY BEFORE THEY'RE FINISHED BILLING A HANGAR.

WE EVEN HAVEN'T EVEN EVALUATED THE LEASE DOCUMENTS OR ANYTHING YET.

SO DEFINITELY IN THE CRAWL STAGES THERE.

BUT WE HAVE AN OFFICE SPACE AVAILABLE FOR THEM INSIDE THE TERMINAL.

SO THEY'LL OPERATE OUTTA THAT OFFICE SPACE TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE BUSINESS.

SO THEY'RE NOT PHYSICALLY THERE YET.

UM, BUT I WOULD IMAGINE ANY VERY SOON THEY'LL BE THERE.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE AT OUR, UH, FIVE K RACE AT THE FLYING FROG.

UM, AND THEY'RE, UM, THEY'VE DONATED A, A FLIGHT AS A, AS A DOOR PRIZE KIND OF THING FOR RUNNER.

SO IF YOU'RE ON THE FENCE ABOUT RUNNING TOO AND YOU WANT A CHANCE

[00:10:01]

BUT, UM, BEAUFORT FLIGHT TRAINING HAS DONATED, OR MAYBE IT'S THROUGH JIM ATKINS HIMSELF, I'M NOT SURE, HAS DONATED A DISCOVERY FLIGHT.

AND THEN HIGH TIDE AVIATION HAS DONATED, I THINK IT MIGHT BE THEIR LONGEST TOUR THAT THEY DO.

SO IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL DONATION, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE A RUNNER TO WIN.

ONLY THE BIB NUMBERS ARE GETTING ENTERED INTO THE BUCKET.

SO, UM, YOU CAN SIGN UP, YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN IT, YOU CAN WALK .

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW, UM, JESSICA WARD FROM HIGH TIDE AVIATION IS HERE TODAY.

HEY JESSICA, I LOOKED AT YOU AND I SAID OKAY.

I NO, I MET YOU.

YES, THAT IS JESSICA.

UM, I THINK THIS IS A CLAIM TO FAME FOR, FOR YOU.

IT, IT DEFINITELY IS FOR YOU.

COLONEL BAXLEY WAS IN THE TERMINAL YESTERDAY AND HE HAD, WAS SINGING HER PRAISES AND SAID THAT SHE TRAINED HIM TO FLY A HELICOPTER.

SO THAT'S WHY IT'S A CREDIT TO YOU IF YOU COULD TRAIN NEIL TO FLY HELICOPTERS.

YOU'RE AN ALL STAR, SO WELCOME ABOARD.

UM, SO DO YOU WANNA COME UP AND SAY A FEW WORDS? YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO IF YOU WANT TO.

SURE, YEAH, YEAH.

YOU COULD INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YEAH, GO AHEAD AND GIVE A SALES PITCH.

UM, I MET, UM, SOME OF YOU ALREADY.

I'M JESSICA WARD WITH HI TEDDY AVIATION.

UM, I DID GET MOVED INTO THE OFFICE LAST WEEK AND, UM, HERE TODAY WITH MY AIRCRAFT.

UM, I LIVE IN ST.

SIMON'S ISLAND AND SO I, UM, I'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 10 YEARS.

MY FIRST LOCATION'S IN SOUTHPORT, NORTH CAROLINA.

SO I HAVE AIRCRAFT BASED, BOTH OF THOSE AIRPORTS.

AND BECAUSE THERE ISN'T HANGAR SPACE AVAILABLE HERE, AND IT'S ACTUALLY A PRETTY QUICK FLIGHT FROM ST.

SIMON'S AND I HAVE HANGERS THERE, UH, WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING IS, UNLESS I HAVE, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF, OF TOUR RESERVATIONS THAT WOULD JUSTIFY ME PARKING THE AIRPLANE ON THE RAMP AT BEAUFORT, I'M JUST KIND OF GOING BACK AND FORTH AND THEN I'M COMING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE PLANE AND SO COME IN FOR THE DAY AND, UM, AND THEN FLY BACK.

SO I'M KIND OF JUST GRADUALLY WORKING INTO IT AS THE, IN FACT, JUST A COUPLE MINUTES AGO, SOME FOLKS WERE CALLING MAYBE TO BOOK A TOUR.

SO I'M STARTING TO GET MORE CALLS AND IT'S SLOWLY BEEN PICKING UP.

AND SO I'M HOPING VERY SOON THAT IT'LL BE SO BUSY THAT IT, I WILL JUST HAVE A PLANE THAT IS PARKED OVER AT, UH, AT FROGMORE ALL THE TIME.

AND, UH, I'LL JUST HAVE A COVER ON IT, YOU KNOW, AND, AND WE'LL SEE KINDA, HOPEFULLY MAYBE WE CAN BUILD A HANGER.

WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES.

BUT, UH, DID, DID ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? I THINK ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP, I'M NOT SURE IT WAS ANSWERED LAST MONTH WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS, THE TYPE OF AIRCRAFT THAT YOU PLANNED TO USE FOR THE TOURS.

A CESSNA 1 72 0 1 MM-HMM.

ORDER AIRCRAFT TO ONE 70 TWOS.

UH, I HAVE SIX OF THEM.

MM-HMM.

GREAT.

I MEAN, UH, FOR THE, I HAVE A FLIGHT SCHOOL IN NORTH CAROLINA AND I HAVE A HELICOPTER SCHOOL THERE.

UM, AND I ALSO HAVE A, A ATAIL BONANZA AND A, A BARON 55 BARON THAT WE USE FOR MULTI-ENGINE TRAINING.

THOSE, UH, THE BONANZA AND THE BARON, YOU KNOW, WE MOVED BACK AND FORTH.

LIKE I HAD THE BARON IN ST.

SIMON'S FOR TWO, THREE WEEKS 'CAUSE I HAD A MULTI ENGINE STUDENT THERE.

UM, BUT NO, WE'RE, THE ONLY THING I'M, I'M PLANNING TO USE AT, UM, AT FROGMORE IS ASSESSMENT 1 72.

JUST THE TOURS FOR, FOR THE TOURS, RIGHT? YEAH.

MM-HMM.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU.

WELCOME.

YEAH, WELCOME.

SOME FUTURE AVIATORS AS WELL.

LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN.

THANKS.

THANKS JUSTIN.

ALRIGHT, SO BOOK, BOOK YOUR TOURS, .

UM, IF YOU COME OUT TO THE AIRPORT TOO, YOU'LL SEE ON OUR MONITOR, UH, AT THE DESK WE'VE GOT THE DIFF THE MAP, KIND OF THE BROCHURE THAT JESSICA'S GOT AND IT SHOWS THE DIFFERENT ROUTES THAT THEY'LL FLY.

SO, UM, IT'S PRETTY GOOD VARIETY AND, UM, YOU GET TO SEE SOME GREAT THINGS AND I KNOW THAT THEY PULL HISTORY INTO THE TOURS AS WELL.

SO IT'S MORE THAN JUST FLYING AROUND AND, AND LOOKING AT THE AREA.

I'LL ACTUALLY GET A LITTLE BIT OF A, A NARRATIVE AS YOU GO.

SO KIND OF A NEW SPIN ON THINGS.

ALRIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE? ALRIGHT, SO BE FOR EXECUTIVE.

WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FLYING FROG AGAIN.

UM, THIS IS ON RUN SIGNUP.COM AND SO IF YOU GO TO RUN SIGNUP.COM, THERE'S A, A LITTLE SEARCH BAR THAT YOU CAN, AND IF YOU JUST PLUG IN FLYING FROG, WE ARE THE ONLY FLYING FROG FIVE K OUT THERE.

SO YOU WILL FIND US.

UM, AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE RACE WILL BE THE, UM, TOUCH A TRUCK EVENT WITH JUNIOR SERVICE LEAGUE.

SO THAT, THAT'S A GREAT PARTNERSHIP THAT WE'VE GOT STARTED AND THAT'S VERY WELL ATTENDED.

SO THAT'LL BE GREAT FOR THE AIRPORT, I THINK, TOO.

SO, YOU KNOW THAT EVENTS LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH YOUNG KIDS AND, AND YOUNG PARENTS SOMETIMES SPARKS INTEREST IN THE AVIATION FIELD AND, UM, MIGHT GET A FEW FLIGHT STUDENTS OUT OF THAT AND YOU MAY JUST INSPIRE

[00:15:01]

SO, GREAT OPPORTUNITY AGAIN.

UM, THE, THE RACE IS, IS IT'S A FIVE K RUN RACE, BUT WE HAVE FOLKS OUT THERE WHO WALK IT EVERY YEAR.

WE HAVE FOLKS OUT THERE WITH, WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AND STROLLERS.

SO IT'S, IT'S AS LAID BACK AS YOU WANT IT TO BE OR IT'S AS COMPETITIVE AS YOU WANT IT TO BE.

SO IT IS A, OBVIOUSLY A VERY FLAT COURSE AND IT'S FAST AND IT'S CERTIFIED, UM, THROUGH U S A TRACK AND FIELD.

SO FOR ANYBODY WHO'S, WHO'S WATCHING THIS VIDEO, UM, IT, IF YOU REGISTER A PERSONAL BEST, THEN IT ACTUALLY, IT COUNTS.

SO THAT, THAT'S A BIG DEAL IF, IF YOU'RE A SERIOUS RUNNER.

UM, SO WE ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO COME OUT.

WE'RE THE FLATTEST RACE IN TOWN, SO COME AND SEE US.

WE'LL BE FAST AND YOU'LL HAVE A TAILWIND AT LEAST PART OF THE WAY.

AND JOHN DATE AND TIME, TIME THE RACE STARTS.

AND WHAT TIME DO THEY HAVE? SURE.

THANK YOU HOWARD.

THE DATE IS OCTOBER 28TH.

SO YOU'VE GOT JUST OVER A WEEK TO TRAIN.

THAT'S ENOUGH TIME IF YOU HAVE TO START RUNNING, I MEAN, IT'S A FIVE K, YOU, ANYBODY CAN DO A FIVE K, RIGHT? IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

SO COME OUT AND DO THAT.

YOU HAVE ONE WEEK TO TRAIN, UM, AND THE RACE KICKS OFF AT EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

SO YOU WANNA BE THERE ABOUT SEVEN 30.

UM, GET LOOSENED UP AND, UM, AND THAT, AND EVERYTHING WILL KICK OFF AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SIGNED UP? I DON'T KNOW RIGHT NOW.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WAIT TILL THE END.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE DONE A LOT.

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN SOME, SOME PODCASTS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

WE'VE DONE A GOOD BIT OF, UM, OF ADVERTISING ON.

THIS ONE HAS SOME GREAT HELP FROM, UM, I THINK IT WAS CALLED LOW COUNTRY CONVERSATIONS.

I DUNNO IF YOU SAW THAT ON, ON YOUTUBE, BUT WE HAD A NICE, UH, OPPORTUNITY TO PODCAST THERE THAT'LL COST YOU A DOLLAR, UM, .

AND WE, WE ALSO DID A PODCAST THROUGH THE COUNTY CHANNEL A FEW WEEKS AGO.

AND DURING THAT PODCAST WE HAD, UH, A GENTLEMAN FROM ALTITUDE ACADEMY ON THERE AS WELL.

SO HE EXPLAINED WHAT ALTITUDE ACADEMY IS ALL ABOUT.

OF COURSE, THAT'S A FIVE ONE C THREE, THAT, THAT IS A BENEFACTOR THIS RACE.

SO, UM, LORD WILLING, WE, WE RAISE SOME GOOD MONEY DURING THIS AND THEN WE CAN MAKE A, A DONATION TO ALTITUDE ACADEMY.

AND THAT EXISTS TO GET YOUNG CHILDREN, UM, SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN EXPOSED TO AVIATION KIDS WHO MAY NOT OTHERWISE BE EXPOSED TO AVIATION.

SO IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY JUST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, ASPECTS, ALL THE DIFFERENT JOBS THAT ARE RELATED TO AVIATION.

IT'S NOT JUST THE PILOT SITTING IN THE COCKPIT, UM, THAT IS AVIATION.

THERE'S SO MUCH THAT GOES INTO IT.

SO WE JUST WANT FOLKS TO GET EXPOSED TO IT.

AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE NEED TO HELP THESE GUYS, UM, CONTINUE THEIR MISSION.

THEY DID GET A NICE JUMPSTART FROM, UH, FROM THE STATE AERONAUTICS COMMISSION THIS YEAR WITH THE SCHOLARSHIP.

SO THEY DO HAVE SIMULATOR NOW.

SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT, THAT FUNDING AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN TEACH MORE CHILDREN ABOUT AVIATION.

SO IF YOU'RE ON THE FENCE ABOUT RUNNING, JUST COME ON AND, AND DONATE THAT.

OR YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN, YOU CAN JUST MAKE A DONATION TOO.

AND, UM, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ACCEPT THAT.

SO GO ON AND CHECK THAT OUT.

BUT THAT'S COMING UP IN JUST OVER A WEEK.

JOHN, WHAT TYPE OF REVENUE DID THAT GENERATE LAST YEAR, CARL? OR WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE THIS YEAR? AGAIN, VERY HARD TO SAY.

LAST YEAR WE, WE BASICALLY COVERED OUR COSTS.

YOU KNOW, SO THAT WAS OUR THIRD YEAR.

THIS IS OUR FOURTH YEAR.

WE'RE HOPING THAT IT'S KIND OF GENERATING A LITTLE BIT MORE MOMENTUM.

UM, SOME PEOPLE SAY IT'S A CHALLENGE DURING THE FALL HERE BECAUSE THERE'S A FIVE K EVERY WEEKEND.

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING 'CAUSE PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT DOING FIVE KS AND PEOPLE WHO ENJOY THEM WILL FIND US.

AND, AND WE'VE DONE, LIKE I SAID, A LOT MORE EXPOSURE.

WE GOT SOME AIRTIME ON W H H I ACTUALLY TWICE WITH THEM AND THOSE COUPLE OF PODCASTS.

SO WE'RE OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT IT.

HOPEFULLY YOU ARE AS WELL.

AND, UM, WE'LL GET SOME FOLKS TO THE RACE.

SO, AND IF YOU'RE ON THE BOARD AND, AND YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND JUST HANG OUT FOR A WHILE, YOU CAN DO THAT.

WE WON'T MAKE YOU RUN, BUT YOU CAN PRETEND YOU'RE RUNNING TO ENCOURAGE OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT'D BE FINE.

UM, BUT IT, IT IS A FUNNY EVENT.

SO WE DO ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO COME OUT AND CHECK IT OUT.

HEY JON, HOW LONG IS THE AIRFIELD CLOSED? UM, IT'LL END UP BEING PROBABLY ABOUT, I THINK WE'LL CLOSE AT ABOUT SIX 30 IN THE MORNING AND IT'LL PROBABLY BE OPEN BY, PROBABLY BY ABOUT NINE 30.

SO AFTER THE RACE, WE'LL DO A FOD CHECK AND THEN REOPEN THE AIRFIELD.

BUT LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO WALK IT, SO IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO WALK IT.

WE'LL HAVE THE XES OUT AND EVERYTHING.

AND MANNING THE RADIOS IN CASE SOMEBODY, NOT THAT ANY PILOTS WOULDN'T CHECK NOTES, BUT JUST IN CASE THEY DON'T AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT A YELLOW X MEANS OVER THE, THE END OF THE RUNWAY, WE WILL HAVE FOLKS ON THE RADIO AND WITH THEIR EYEBALLS ON THE SKIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY.

OOPS.

ALRIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE ON A W? THANK YOU.

EXCELLENT.

SIGNATURE BACK IN THE COUNTY HANGAR AREA.

OVER TO HILTON HEAD.

UM, CONCORD GONZ IS COMING UP IN JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AS WELL.

SO IN THE FINAL PLANNING STAGES THERE, EVERYTHING'S GOING SMOOTHLY.

UH, BUT AGAIN, VERY SIMILAR TO PAST YEARS.

WE'LL DO THE ARROW EXPO AND THE, UH, THE GALA, UM, OUT THERE BEHIND THE, UM, BEHIND

[00:20:01]

AND, UH, JUST A GREAT EVENT AND WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THEM AGAIN.

FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE, AT THE GALA, THERE WILL BE THE, UM, TAXIWAY HIGH SPEED DEMOS AGAIN WITH THIS YEAR.

B M W AND PORSCHE WILL BE OUT THERE.

SO IF YOU BUY THAT PREMIUM LEVEL TICKET FOR THE GALA, THEN YOU MAY HAVE A SHOT AT RIDING DOWN THE TAXIWAY.

EVERYTHING'S CLEAR WITH THE F A A, SO WE'RE GOOD THERE.

BUT, UM, CERTAINLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AS WELL.

AND IT'S BEEN AN AWESOME EVENT IN THE PAST, SO IT SHOULD BE ANOTHER GOOD YEAR.

UM, AT TAX PRESENTATION.

THIS IS WHAT YOU ALL APPROVE LAST WINTER TIME.

AND, AND WE'LL DO IT AGAIN THIS WINTER WHERE YOU, YOU SAY, YES, GO AHEAD AND APPLY FOR THIS MONEY.

UM, WE HAVE REQUEST IN FOR $150,000, A HUNDRED PERCENT OF WHICH IS USED FOR, UM, MARKETING FOR THE AIRPORTS AND THE, AND THE ISLAND, UM, TO BRING PEOPLE IN AND, AND WE GO OUT THERE.

IT'S PRIMARILY A DIGITAL CAMPAIGN WHERE IF YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR TRAVEL IN THIS REGION, WE WILL, OUR ADS WILL FIND YOU AND WE'LL PESTER YOU UNTIL YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO VACATION AND HILTON HEAD AND COME TO OUR AIRPORT.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO WITH THE MONEY.

BUT I DID THAT PRESENTATION LAST THURSDAY AND WE SHOULD, I THINK THE OTHER ROUND OF PRESENTATIONS ARE TODAY.

SO WE SHOULD KNOW.

UM, TYPICALLY IT'S KIND OF THE END OF NOVEMBER THAT WE FIND OUT WHAT THE AWARD IS GONNA LOOK LIKE AND OF NOVEMBER, EARLY DECEMBER DEPENDS ON THE TOWN COUNCIL MEETING DATES.

UM, LAST COUPLE YEARS WE'VE GOT A HUNDRED PERCENT OF OUR REQUESTS.

SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT, UM, THEY STILL SEE THE VALUE IN, IN GRANTING THAT.

ALRIGHT, T S A PRE-CHECK EVENT.

WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT BEFORE THE MEETING, BUT THAT'S, THAT KICKS OFF ON MONDAY.

AND THE LOCATION FOR THAT IS 26 HUNTER ROAD.

SO THAT'S, UM, IF ANYBODY'S HAD TO GO GET A BADGE WITH CRAIG, IT'S THE SAME OFFICE.

AND, UH, SO WE'LL HOST THAT EVENT INSIDE THERE.

IDIA INCORPORATED IS THE COMPANY THAT'S CONTRACTED WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DO THOSE, TO RUN THOSE EVENTS.

AND AT THE LAST ONE, I THINK IT WAS 700 PEOPLE THAT THEY, UH, THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THROUGH PRECHECK PROCESSING.

SO THAT'S ONE OR TWO STAFF RUNNING THAT MANY FOLKS THROUGH PRECHECK, UM, IN A FIVE DAY PERIOD.

SO PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

THEY GOT A REALLY SMOOTH OPERATION AND UM, THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

I KNOW, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL OF YOU VOLUNTEERED LAST TIME TO HELP OUT.

JUST, JUST WELCOME PEOPLE IN AND, YOU KNOW, GIVE 'EM A LITTLE BRIEF ON HOW THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE BASIC PROCESS WORKS.

SO IF ANYBODY HASN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SIGN UP FOR THAT, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, IN HELPING OUT FOR AN HOUR OR TWO OR MORE, UM, SEE ROCIO, UH, WE'VE GOT A SIGN UP SHEET HERE.

SO GOOD OPPORTUNITY, BRIAN, DOES THAT PROGRAM APPROVE PEOPLE ON THE SPOT FOR THEIR T S A PRE-CHECK? IT, IT DOES.

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS, SHORTLY THEREAFTER YOU GET YOUR, UM, KNOWN TRAVELER NUMBER.

AND THEN YOU'RE A HUNDRED PERCENT READY.

BUT YES, IT GETS YOU THROUGH.

AS LONG AS YOU CHECK ONLINE.

YOU CAN GO TO T S A PRE-CHECK AND FIND OUT WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE AS FAR AS SOME PRELIMINARY PAPERWORK OR WHAT RECORDS YOU NEED TO BRING WITH YOU PROOF OF, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT NEED A PASSPORT AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AS LONG AS YOU COME JUST LIKE D M V, JUST COME WITH WHAT YOU NEED.

AND IT'S VERY SMOOTH.

JOHN.

I DIDN'T SEE A LOT OF PUBLICITY ABOUT, UH, THIS EVENT, UH, YET.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE A LITTLE MORE.

UH, BUT I DID SEND A NOTE OUT TO EACH OF THE HILTON HEAD TOWN COUNCIL FOLKS, UH, REMINDING 'EM OF THE DATES, THE TIMES, AND I SENT THEM THE T SS A REQUIREMENTS FOR, UM, WHAT CLIENTS MAY HAVE TO BRING.

SO I'VE ASKED THEM TO DISSEMINATE THAT TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS.

SOME WILL, SOME WON'T, BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO GET A LITTLE MORE EXPOSURE FOR THAT EVENT.

AND WE'VE DONE IT THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL AS THROUGH THE COUNTY CHANNEL AND PUBLIC, UM, OR PRESS RELEASES THROUGH THE COUNTY.

SO ON EVERY MEANS THAT WE'VE GOT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED.

UM, AND I'LL TELL YOU FOLKS FIND OUT ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN PRECHECK, THEY'VE ALREADY GONE TO THE WEBSITE AND THEY'LL FIND OUT WHERE THE POPUP EVENTS WERE BECAUSE WHEN WE DID THE FIRST ONE, WAS IT MARCH OR APRIL? UM, I WAS AMAZED AT, BUT BEFORE THE EVENT, A COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE THE EVENT, EVERY APPOINTMENT WAS BOOKED.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT PEOPLE WERE THAT ENGAGED, BUT THEY ARE.

SO I'M PRETTY SURE THIS WILL HAVE EVERY APPOINTMENT BOOKED AND THEN THERE'LL BE WALK-INS AS WELL.

BUT THE WALK-INS DON'T BE SCARED TO BE A WALK-IN, UM, BECAUSE THEY PROCESS THESE FOLKS VERY QUICKLY.

AND, UM, AND WALK-INS ARE CERTAINLY WELCOME.

ALL RIGHT, SO THAT'S NEXT WEEK.

GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, TO VOLUNTEER.

UM, LET'S SEE.

I'M GONNA SKIP LEO FOR JUST A MINUTE AND COME BACK TO IT.

SO DON'T LET ME FORGET.

UM, WE'RE LOOKING AT ESTABLISHING A, A DATE FOR A GROUNDBREAKING OUT THERE FOR THE TERMINAL PROJECTS.

WE'RE GONNA DO KIND OF A CEREMONIAL GROUNDBREAKING.

UM, I, I DON'T HAVE THAT DATE NAILED DOWN, SO I'M GONNA GET THAT TO YOU AS SOON AS I CAN.

UM, KIND OF HERD THE CATS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT DATES WORK FOR, FOR THE FOLKS WHO, WHO ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE THERE.

CERTAINLY WANT Y'ALL TO BE THERE AS WELL.

SO I'LL LET YOU KNOW JUST AS SOON AS I GET THAT DATE SELECTED.

BALLPARK IDEA, JOHN.

I'M SORRY? MONTH OF NOVEMBER.

AT LEAST WE HAVE A YEAR.

THANK

[00:25:01]

YOU.

YEAH, I WAS REALLY LOOKING AT BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER AND NOW IT'S LOOKING LIKE IT MIGHT BE WISER TO MOVE TO BEGINNING OF DECEMBER.

SO I, BUT AGAIN, I, I HESITATE TO SAY ANYTHING RIGHT NOW 'CAUSE IT'S NOT NAILED DOWN.

SO USE THE CONTRACT AFTER, JUST DON'T GO ANYWHERE FOR A WHILE AND WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE THERE.

MARK, WHAT DOES THE CONTRACT HAVE TO START? UM, NOT UNTIL WE SET A, UM, NOTICE TO PROCEED DATE, WHICH WE HAVEN'T DONE TO PROCEED.

NO, WE HAVEN'T DONE.

THERE'S STILL, UM, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, ONCE A CONTRACT IS AWARDED, THEY'VE GOTTA GO AND NOTIFY ALL THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS, COORDINATE ALL THEIR SCHEDULES, GET ALL THAT SQUARED AWAY, THEN WE WILL ISSUE A NOTICE TO PROCEED.

WE DON'T WANNA ISSUE IT TOO EARLY.

THEIR CLOCK STARTS TICKING AND THEY'VE ONLY GOT TWO YEARS.

SO WE'LL ISSUE IT WHEN THEY'RE READY AND EVERYBODY AGREES IT'S TIME TO KICK IT OFF.

AND, UH, AND THEN WE'LL GET THAT GOING.

UH, WE'RE DOING A, SPEAKING OF THE CONTRACTOR, UH, EDISON FORD, WHO IS THE TERMINAL CONTRACTOR, IS SPONSORING A TENANT APPRECIATION LUNCH FOR US TOMORROW.

AND, UM, ROIA, THIS IS CIO'S BRAINCHILD, SO I GOTTA GIVE HER A A SHOUT OUT HERE.

SHE DOES A GREAT JOB OF REMEMBERING THAT WE HAVE TO THANK FOLKS AT THE AIRPORT FOR WHAT THEY DO.

SO WE'VE GOT SO MANY PEOPLE INSIDE THE TERMINAL WHO CAN REALLY INFLUENCE AND IMPACT THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AT THE AIRPORT FOR THE GOOD OR THE BAD.

UM, EVERY TRAVELER THAT GOES THROUGH THE AIRPORT, UM, COMES IN MAYBE A LITTLE BIT STRESSED 'CAUSE THEY'RE TRAVELING AND THAT SORT OF THING.

AND, AND SOMETIMES IT JUST TAKES PEOPLE DEALING SOMETHING NICE TO, TO MAKE 'EM FEEL LIKE THEY'RE WELCOME.

BUT WE WANNA DO THAT FOR OUR TENANTS TOO, TO MAKE 'EM KNOW THAT THEY'RE APPRECIATED.

SO ROCIO HAD US DO VALENTINE'S LAST YEAR.

WE DID A LUNCH FOR THEM AT ONE POINT, AND THE AIRLINES AND THE RENTAL CAR FOLKS AND, AND EVERY T S A ALL REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

SO WE WERE STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR BECAUSE, UM, IT WAS HARD TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN, HOW WE CAN FUND THAT AND FINANCE IT.

AND CIO SAID, WELL, LET'S SEE IF EDISON FORD WOULD BE INTERESTED IN, IN SPONSORING THIS AS A BRAND NEW CONTRACTOR.

WHAT, WHAT BETTER IDEA THAN TO COME INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO THE, TO THE TENANTS? AND THEY JUMPED AT THE OPPORTUNITY.

SO THEY'RE GONNA UNDERWRITE THIS EVENT FOR THE TENANTS AND THEY'LL HAVE THE CHANCE.

WE THINK IT'S PRETTY NEAT TOO, TO GIVE THE TENANTS THE VERY FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE CONTRACTOR WHO'S GONNA BUILD THEIR NEW HOME.

SO IT, IT'S REALLY KIND OF A, A COOL THING THAT CAME TOGETHER.

UM, THANKS TO TO ROCIO, I'VE GOT GREAT FOLKS ON THE TEAM WHO DO A LOT OF THE THINKING FOR ME.

UM, SO WHILE WE'RE GONNA APPRECIATE OUR TENANTS, I'M GONNA APPRECIATE MY STAFF FOR WHAT THEY THEY BRING TO US.

SO I APPRE THAT'S, IT'S GOOD STUFF.

SO THAT'LL BE TOMORROW, UH, WE'RE DOING AT 11, 11 30, RIGHT? I THINK IS, WE'RE DOING THAT.

UM, SO ANYWAY, GREAT OPPORTUNITY THERE.

UM, NEXT ONE, OUR PAID PARKING AT THE TERMINAL IS GONNA HAVE A, A RATE INCREASE ON JANUARY THE FIRST.

WE ACTUALLY HAD AN INCREASED RATE SINCE 2017.

WOW.

SO THE PARKING COMPANY REACHED OUT TO ME AND SAID, LET'S DO A MODEST INCREASE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

WE ARE STILL, UM, LOWER THAN OTHER AIRPORTS IN THE REGION.

SO WE DID DO A CHECK IN THE KIND OF, IN OUR, OUR REGION HERE.

I THINK WE WENT AS FAR AWAY AS, I FORGET IF IT WAS ASHEVILLE OR CHATTANOOGA.

UM, AND WE HAD THE, THE LOWEST RATES AND WE'LL STILL HAVE THE LOWEST RATES EVEN WITH THE INCREASE.

SO THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ECONOMY RATES THAT CAUSE YOU TO GET A SHUTTLE TO COME TO THE AIRPORT.

THEY MAY BE LOWER.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

WE'RE, WE'RE LIKE ROCKSTAR PARKING FOR EVERYBODY, SO YOU CAN'T BEAT OUR RATES.

SO IF THAT'LL HAPPEN JANUARY 1ST, WE'LL PUBLICIZE IT.

UM, SO IT'S ON THE WEBSITE AND EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT.

JOHN, I I DON'T RECALL HAVING GONE THROUGH THE ORIGINAL PLANS.

IS THERE GONNA BE ANY MORE PARKING WHEN THE NEW TERMINAL GETS DONE? WHEN IT'S ALL COMPLETE? SO AT THE END OF THE SECOND PHASE, UM, AS YOU COME INTO THE TERMINAL COMPLEX, ALL THAT AREA ON THE RIGHT WILL BE CLEARED OUT AND THERE'LL BE PARKING IN THERE.

SO IN THE INTERIM, IT'S GONNA GET A LITTLE BIT DICEY DOING THE, THE ENTRANCE ROAD.

SO WE'LL, WE'LL GET A LITTLE BIT FLEXIBLE.

WE MAY END UP HAVING TO DO SOME TEMPORARY GRAVEL PARKING OFF TO THE SIDE, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL KIND OF SEE HOW IT ALL WORKS OUT.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YES, THERE WILL BE SOME MORE PARKING.

HAVE YOU DECIDED, IS THAT GONNA BE DISCOUNTED PARKING OFF ON THE RIGHT SIDE OR IS THAT'LL BE GENERAL PARKING SAME RATE THROUGHOUT THE, UH, PARKING? WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR YET.

LET'S SEE, WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE? OKAY, BACK TO THE LEO SERVICES.

UM, NEXT, THIS COMING MONDAY, THE 23RD AT THREE O'CLOCK, THERE'S A, UH, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING.

THAT'S ONE OF THE COMMITTEES OF COUNTY COUNCIL.

AND WE HAVE A DISCUSSION ITEM ON THE AGENDA, AND IT'S THIS LEO SERVICES.

AND WHAT THIS IS, IS INSIDE THE TERMINAL, THE, WE HAVE THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES WHO, WHO MAN THE POST AND THEY HAVE TO BE IN THE TERMINAL AND ABLE TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES IF THERE'S AN INCIDENT AT THE CHECKPOINT.

NOW, YOU KNOW, THE TERMINAL, EVEN WITH THE, UH, NORTH CONCOURSE AND SOUTH CONCOURSE, YOU CAN STILL GET ANYWHERE WITHIN FIVE MINUTES.

SO, UM, THAT'S SO FUNNY.

YOU CAN CRAWL PEOPLE ASK WHERE THE BAGGAGE CLAIM IS, AND I SAID TO THE NORTH CONCOURSE, YOU CAN CRAWL IN THAT TIME.

REQUIRED, UM, THERE'S, THERE'S A FEDERAL MANDATE THAT REQUIRES A CERTAIN LEVEL OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, WITHIN THE, THE TERMINAL TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE CHECKPOINT.

ANYWAY, THEY PROVIDE THE, THE

[00:30:01]

SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CURRENTLY PROVIDE THAT.

THE, UM, THE SHERIFF PUT US ON NOTICE BACK IN JUNE AND SAID, WE'RE GONNA PULL THE DEPUTIES OUT AT THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.

UM, SO THAT OBVIOUSLY KIND OF LIT A FIRE.

AND WE STARTED TALKING WITH THE SHERIFF, WITH THE CHIEF DEPUTY AND TRYING TO WORK OUT SOME, SOME PLANS.

AND OF COURSE, YOU, YOU CAN PROVIDE, YOU CAN CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE SECURITY AND STILL MEET THE NEEDS.

THE QUALIFICATIONS WITH THAT ARE PRETTY DIFFICULT.

AND, UM, AND WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON PUTTING TOGETHER A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS ON THAT, BUT WE DEFINITELY CAN'T MAKE THAT HAPPEN BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

I MEAN, THAT JUST, THAT PROCESS IN ITSELF WAS PROBABLY A SIX TO MAYBE EIGHT MONTH PROCESS, BECAUSE EVEN IF WE WERE TO SELECT A CONTRACTOR BY THE END OF THE YEAR, THEY THEN HAVE TO GO FIND PEOPLE PRETTY EASY TO FIND STAFF THESE DAYS, RIGHT? MM-HMM.

, THEY HAVE TO GO FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAINABLE TO CARRY A WEAPON AND CARRY OUT THESE FEDERAL MANDATES.

AND OH, BY THE WAY, IF THEIR PEOPLE DON'T SHOW UP, THE CHECKPOINT CLOSES AND FLIGHTS GET DELAYED OR CANCELED.

SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE AREN'T MANY PRIVATE COMPANIES WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THAT LEVEL OF LIABILITY FOR AN AIRPORT THAT'S PART OF THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

SO WE'RE A LITTLE BIT OF A PICKLE.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO SAY, NOW THEY'VE GOT MANPOWER CONCERNS AND THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT WHEN THEY LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, THIS DUTY AT THE AIRPORT FOR THEIR DEPUTIES.

THEY, THEY NEED ALL THE PEOPLE THEY CAN GET, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE.

UM, BUT THE REASON WE'RE PRESENTING AT COUNSEL IS TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE COMPLETELY AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND FRANKLY ASK FOR THEIR HELP.

BECAUSE WE WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE THE DEPUTIES IN THERE THAN ANYBODY ELSE.

UM, THE PASSENGERS HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW THEM.

UM, AND THERE'S JUST SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT SEEING THAT, THAT VEST IN THE BADGE THAT SAYS SHERIFF AND NOT HIRED SECURITY.

YOU CAN MAKE HIRED SECURITY LOOK LIKE A DEPUTY, ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE A DEPUTY.

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT SEEING SHERIFF ACROSS THAT CHEST THAT PUTS PEOPLE AT EASE.

AND, AND OUR SHERIFFS LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

THOSE DEPUTIES, THEY KNOW A LOT OF THE TRAVELERS.

AND, UM, SO THEY, THEY GET ASKED QUESTIONS, THEY PROVIDE INFORMATION WHILE THEY'RE DOING THEIR DUTIES.

AND THESE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GREAT.

IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THE, THE VEHICLES OUT FRONT.

IT'S A NICE DETERRENT WHEN THEY'RE OFF, WHEN THE CHECKPOINT IS CLOSED, THEY GO TO OTHER PARTS OF THE AIRPORT AND PROVIDE SECURITY FOR US IN THOSE PLACES.

UM, AND IT'S JUST THERE, THERE'S A HOST OF REASONS WHY IT'S JUST BETTER TO HAVE THE DEPUTIES IN THERE THAN HIRED SECURITY.

IF WE HAVE TO GO HIRE SECURITY, WE CERTAINLY WILL DO THAT.

UM, WE CAN'T DO IT QUICKLY, SO WE'RE GONNA DEFINITELY NEED TO EXTEND THE DEPUTIES, BUT I WANTED TO JUST PUT THAT OUT TO YOU.

SO YOU KNOW THAT MONDAY AT THREE O'CLOCK WE'LL BE TALKING TO COUNTY COUNCIL.

THOSE COMMITTEE MEETINGS DO HAVE, UM, PUBLIC COMMENT SESSIONS.

SO IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED IN COMING AND SAYING, HEY, I'M A MEMBER OF THE AIRPORTS BOARD AND WE THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR THESE REASONS TO MAINTAIN THE SERVICES THAT THE SHERIFF PROVIDES AT THE AIRPORT, THAT'D BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

I'LL BE THERE, STEVE WILL BE THERE.

UM, BUT IT WOULD MEAN A LOT MAYBE TO HAVE A COUPLE BOARD MEMBERS THERE AS WELL TO KIND OF BACK US UP.

SO I'LL PUT THAT OUT THERE.

IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFORMATION ON THAT, LET ME KNOW.

BUT IT'S, IT'S QUITE A, QUITE A BIG TASK, QUITE A BIG DEAL THAT WE'RE HAVING TO, TO FACE HERE.

JOHN, DOES THIS AFFECT THE SHERIFFS THAT ARE AT BUFORD EXECUTIVE IN ANY, I MEAN, I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT RELATIONSHIP THERE, BUT THAT'S JUST A LITTLE OFF SUBSTATION FOR THEM, IS THAT RIGHT? RIGHT, RIGHT.

SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING A, A, A, UH, FORMAL SERVICE FOR THE AIRPORT.

THEY PERFORM AN EXCELLENT SERVICE JUST BY BEING THERE AND HAVING THEIR VEHICLES IN THE LOT.

WE REALLY ENJOY HAVING THEM AT THE AIRPORT AS WELL AT BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE.

YEAH, I WASN'T SURE HOW THAT WAS, BUT AT HILTON HEAD, IT, IT'S A FORMALIZED ROLE FOR THEM.

JOHN, WITH RESPECT TO, UH, HILTON HEAD, DO YOU BELIEVE THIS IS A MONEY ISSUE OR A STAFFING ISSUE FOR THE COUNTY? YES.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE? YES.

PROBABLY YES.

WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD IS IT'S PRIMARILY STAFFING.

UM, AND, AND WE'RE WILLING TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT TO KEEP THOSE FOLKS THERE.

UM, BECAUSE I THINK THEY WANNA BE THERE AS WELL.

I THINK THEY, THEY KNOW IT'S A GOOD SERVICE.

THEY UNDERSTAND RECORDING IN PROGRESS, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S, NO, NO SECRET TO THEM THAT THEY PROVIDE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SERVICE.

YOU KNOW, THE OFFICER ENJOY THAT, THE DUTY AND THEY'VE BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

I'VE BEEN AND OUT CHATTED WITH THEM A WHILE AND, UH, BE NICE TO KEEP THEM, KEEP THEM AROUND.

RIGHT? YEP.

OUT THERE AT HILTON HEAD.

ALRIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE ON HILTON HEAD? ALRIGHT.

OH NO, IT STALLED ON ME.

YEAH, I THINK THEY, OKAY.

SEE IF WE, THERE WE GO.

ALRIGHT.

UM, A COUPLE DAYS AGO, MARLENE REPORTED ME ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH UBER

[00:35:01]

AND, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS THERE, BUT I JUST WANNA SHOW YOU GRAPHICALLY THAT, UM, AND, AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE GRAY LINE IS.

2023.

UM, IT'S BEEN A PRETTY DECENT YEAR WITH UBER AND THAT'S REALLY STARTING TO BECOME A LITTLE BIT MORE POPULAR WITH FOLKS.

UH, WE DO HAVE LYFT OUT OF THE AIRPORT AS WELL.

UM, BUT IT REPRESENTS A, A FAIRLY DECENT REVENUE STREAM FOR US.

AND WE, WE RECENTLY WORKED WITH THEM TO, UH, TO INCREASE THEIR FEES AS WELL.

AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY'RE GEOFENCED.

SO EVERY TIME ONE OF THEIR, UM, OPERATORS COMES THROUGH THE AIRPORT, THEY GET CHARGED.

SO, UM, AND THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, THE CONSUMER PAYS IT ANYWAY, BUT IT'S THE SAME WAY AT, AT EVERY AIRPORT BECAUSE UBER HAS UBER, UBER HAS A CONTRACT THAT THEY USE WITH EVERY AIRPORT, SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.

UM, BUT IT, IT'S A GREAT SERVICE TO THE CUSTOMERS.

IT'S ANOTHER OPTION THAT THEY HAVE TO CHOOSE AND ALSO GENERATES REVENUE FOR THE AIRPORT.

SO THAT'S A NUMBER OF PICKUPS.

I THINK THE NEXT FLY, LEMME SEE IF IT'LL, IF THIS IS BACK ON.

OH, IT'S NOT.

THAT WAS IT.

SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF PICKUPS AND THAT, THAT'S THE REVENUE GENERATES.

SO, AND THAT'LL INCREASE A LITTLE BIT, YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS IF MAYBE WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO YOU QUARTERLY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT YOU'LL SEE, IT'LL TAKE A JUMP BECAUSE WE DID JUST INCREASE THOSE FEES.

SO JUST A LITTLE, UH, PIECE OF INFORMATION FOR YOU THERE.

AND HOW ARE WE COUNTING, HOW ARE WE COUNTING THE PICKUPS? JOHN, COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT ONE MORE TIME? SURE.

THAT'S, THAT'S GEOFENCE.

SO EVERY TIME THE UBER DRIVER COMES INTO THE AIRPORT, THERE'S A, IT'S A GEOGRAPHICAL, ELECTRONIC FENCE JUST PUT AROUND THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH THESE GREAT PHONES WE ALL CARRY.

UM, SO ANYTIME AN UBER VEHICLE THAT YOU KNOW IS REGISTERED WITH UBER OR LYFT COMES THROUGH OUR PROPERTY, THEY GET CHARGED.

MM-HMM.

AND THEN, AND, AND THAT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF TAILIES A TRIP AS WELL.

SO WE KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THEY'VE BEEN IN TO PICK PEOPLE UP.

NOW WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE PICKING UP TWO PEOPLE, THREE PEOPLE, ONE PERSON, BUT WE KNOW THE NUMBER OF PICKUPS 'CAUSE THAT'S THE BASIS THAT, THAT THE CHARGE IS MADE ON.

SURE.

TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT WHEN IT WORKS FOR YOU.

ALRIGHT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

AWAY.

ANY UNFINISHED BUSINESS? NONE THAT I KNOW OF.

HEARING NONE.

WE'LL MOVE RIGHT INTO NEW BUSINESS.

ALRIGHT,

[IX.1. BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (ARW) – RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A LEASE AGREEMENT AT 39 AIRPORT CIRCLE BETWEEN BEAUFORT COUNTY AND TIM VERROI – VOTE]

SOUNDS GOOD.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING? I KNOW LESLIE AND ANN ARE ON BOARD.

I WANNA MAKE SURE WE DON'T MISS SOMETHING FROM THEM.

NEW BUSINESS.

UM, TWO ITEMS HERE.

BOTH OF THEM VERY SIMILAR.

IT'S UP TO YOU IF YOU WANNA TAKE THEM TOGETHER.

THEY'RE REALLY FOR THE EXACT SAME THING, SO YOU CERTAINLY CAN IF YOU'D LIKE TO.

BUT WHAT THEY ARE IS WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OFFICES WITHIN THE TERMINAL AT BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE.

AND LIKE I EXPLAINED BEFORE, THEY UM, ANY RENTAL OF OFFICE SPACE NEEDS TO BE HANDLED WITH AN ORDINANCE.

SO THESE, THE REASON THESE ARE BEING RENEWED IS BECAUSE THE COUNTY UPDATED ITS LEASING POLICY LAST SPRING.

SO TO BRING THESE INTO, UM, COMPLIANCE WITH THAT NEW POLICY, WE HAD TO REWRITE THE AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO INK THE NEW AGREEMENT.

IT'S GOTTA GO TO COUNCIL.

IN ORDER TO GO TO COUNCIL.

YOU GET TO SEE IT FIRST.

SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.

SO THIS IS THE, THE TWO SMALL OFFICES IS WHERE BEAUFORT FLIGHT TRAINING IS AND WHERE TIM ROY'S GOT HIS SMALL OFFICE IN THE BUILDING.

SO THAT'S ALL THAT, THESE ARE JUST THEIR LEASES.

AND TOM, IS IT ROY? HOW DOES HE PRONOUNCE HIS NAME? TIM ROY.

TIM ROY TYPE OF BUSINESS.

UM, HE IS ACTUALLY A GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND HE'S GOT AN AIRPLANE OUT THERE AND A HANGAR OUT THERE.

SO HE'S, HE'S BEEN A, UH, RESIDENT AT THE AIRPORT FOR A LONG TIME.

ANY QUESTIONS TO JOHN ABOUT, UH, TIM ON THE LEASE? IF NOT, ACCEPT A MOTION TO, UH, APPROVE THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN BUFORT COUNTY AND TIM ROY.

SO MOVED.

AND SECOND.

WHICH SECOND? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES.

THE SAME, BUT INSTEAD OF TIM ROY JUST INSERT BUFORT FLIGHT TRAINING.

AND THE NEXT ONE IS EXACTLY

[IX.2. BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (ARW) – RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A LEASE AGREEMENT AT 39 AIRPORT CIRCLE BETWEEN BEAUFORT COUNTY AND BEAUFORT FLIGHT TRAINING - VOTE]

BUT IT'S FOR THE SAME THING.

THE, UM, THE DOLLARS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT 'CAUSE THE OFFICE IS A DIFFERENT SIZE, BUT OTHERWISE IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME, SAME AGREEMENT.

I ASSUME NO FURTHER QUES.

NOPE, NO QUESTIONS.

SO I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION TO APPROVE THE, UH, AGREEMENT BETWEEN BEAUFORT COUNTY, THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN BEAUFORT COUNTY AND BEAUFORT FLIGHT TRAINING.

ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES AS WELL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JOHN, DO WE HAVE ANY UNUSED OFFICE, UH, SPACE AT BUFORD ANY LONGER OR WE MAXED OUT? WE ARE MAXED OUT.

UNLESS WE, WE MIGHT CREATE MORE RECORDING IN PROGRESS.

WE GET PRETTY CREATIVE.

WE, WE FOUND A SPACE FOR JESSICA.

WE KINDA REDID SOME AREAS AND, UM, YEAH, WE, WE WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY.

SO WE CAN, UH, WE CAN CREATE SPACE

[00:40:01]

IF NEED BE.

ON IS JUST THE, UM, THE SLATE OF, OF BOARD MEETING DATES FOR 2024.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND THE LAST ITEM THAT I, WE NEED TO VOTE

[IX.3. APPROVAL OF 2024 BCAB MEETING DATES - VOTE]

SO IT'S, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE THIRD THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH, ONE 30 IN THE AFTERNOON.

WE STILL ROTATE BETWEEN BUFORT AND HILTON HEAD.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON, WELL, UNFORTUNATELY I PLAN MY, MY STUFF MANY MONTHS IN ADVANCE AND I NOTICE IN FEBRUARY, IT'S NOW THE FOURTH THURSDAY OF THE MONTH AND I HAVE A CONFLICT WITH THAT, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

I'LL JUST MISS THAT MEETING.

AND THE REASON WE MOVE THAT TO THE FOURTH THURSDAY THURSDAYS, BECAUSE THE WEEK BEFORE THAT IS THE STATE CONFERENCE AND STEVE, ERIC, AND MYSELF WILL ALL BE AT THAT CONFERENCE.

BUT THE 22ND IS MY BIRTHDAY, SO I'LL BE OFFENDED IF YOU'RE NOT THERE.

BRIAN .

ALRIGHT, SO JUST, JUST A HEADS UP AND WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS THE LAST MEETING SINCE WE'RE GONNA VOTE ON THE, UH, CALENDAR.

UM, BOARD MEMBERS ARE ENTITLED TO THREE ABSENCES, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHETHER OR EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED THREE ABSENCES DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR.

SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU LOOK AT THE CALENDAR.

AND I AM WORKING SLOWLY WITH THE COUNTY, UH, TO MANDATE PHYSICAL ATTENDANCE AT OUR BOARD MEETING.

UNLESS THERE ARE SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, WE DID DO BETTER AS A GROUP IN PERSON AS WE DO WITH THE FOLKS SIGNING IN.

SO I CAN'T DO THAT UN UNLESS, UNTIL, UNLESS THE COUNTY APPROVES THAT.

SO IN THE WORKS, DON'T KNOW HOW FAR THAT'LL GET VOTE.

WE'LL SEE.

SO I NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE BEAUFORT COUNTY AIRPORT BOARD SCHEDULE AS PUBLISHED AND AS, UH, YOU HAVE COPIES IN FRONT OF YOU.

SO MOVED AND A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE CALENDAR? IF NOT, UH, ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? A MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

BACK TO YOU MR. CHAIRMAN.

MARK A R W COMMITTEE REPORT.

CHAIRMAN'S UPDATE.

UH,

[X. CHAIRMAN UPDATE]

UH, CHRIS IS OUT TODAY.

SO ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THERE WAS A, UM, SHORT PILOT MEETING AT THE AIRPORT ATTENDED BY THE AIRPORT, UH, UM, ADMINISTRATION AND, AND SOME PILOTS AND UPDATES ON AT THE HANGAR.

I'LL GET IT BACK.

I ACTUALLY STARTED IN DISPATCH.

I MEAN, I LOVE DISPATCH, BUT I WANTED SOMETHING MORE.

I WOULD BE TAKING CALLS AND I'D THINK, MAN, I WISH I WAS GOING WITH THE GUYS, BUT HERE I AM, STUCK BEHIND THE PHONE.

SO I CAME DOWN HERE AND TOOK MY CHANCE.

HI GUYS.

I'M ABLE TO MEET AND TALK WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT LEARN FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME ABOUT HISTORY AND JUST HOW THINGS ARE HERE.

AND I REALLY ENJOY HILTON HEAD, BEAUFORT COUNTY IN GENERAL.

I LIKE ALL THE SPECIAL TEAMS OPTIONS.

UM, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU COULD KIND OF WORK YOUR CAREER INTO, WHETHER IT BE INVESTIGATIONS OR THE DOG TEAM OR THE AVIATION UNIT, ANYTHING LIKE THAT WHERE IT'S NOT JUST YOU WORK THE ROAD AND GO HOME, YOU ARE ABLE TO APPLY THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR THE CAREER INTO OTHER DIVISIONS AND ASPECTS.

THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST THING THAT I'VE EVER DONE IN MY 30 YEARS, WAS TO TAKE THE LEAP TO MOVE DOWN HERE AND START THIS CAREER.

AND HOPEFULLY I'M HERE FOR A LONG TIME.

YOU TRIED SAIL BACK IN? I JUST GOT A TEXT FROM HER AND SINCE I BELIEVE IT WAS OUTSIDE, SHE COULDN'T SIGN HER BACK IN UHHUH.

I JUST SENT HER A NOTE AND SAID, TRY AGAIN.

I DO .

I THINK THE REASON THAT IT WENT OFF, THERE'S SOME ELECTRICAL STUFF GOING ON AND I THINK HE'S MESSING WITH THE INTERNET TOO.

YEAH, IT COULD BE.

ALRIGHT, SO WE WILL ACTUALLY PASS UP TO THE COMMITTEE SINCE OUR COMMITTEE CHAIR, IF EACH OF THOSE TWO IS NOT HERE TO GIVE A REPORT.

UH, THERE IS NO REPORT FOR THE BUDGET COMMITTEE OR THE HILTON HEAD AIRPORT COMMITTEE, UH, THIS MONTH.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING FOR JOHN THAT THEY'D LIKE TO DISCUSS? BRING UP HEARING NONE.

UH, WE'LL GO BACK TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

[00:45:03]

AND I I WAS MISTAKEN BEFORE WE HAVE ONE PUBLIC .

SORRY I MISSED YOU BACK THERE.

UH, BUT YOU HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY IF YOU'D LIKE PASS.
