ALL RIGHT NICK WE'LL GET YOU WE'LL GET CHATTING AND THEN WE DON'T WANT TO WE CERTAINLY WANT TO HAVE YOU INCLUDED APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT.

SO THAT ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN MADE, A.B. OPPOSED WITH THE CHANGES TO THE MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH HEARING ON THAT MOTION PASSES AS WELL AND I WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMENT WITH THE LIMIT OF COMMENT COMMENTS TO 3 MINUTES EACH DO WE HAVE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT

[VII. DIRECTOR'S REPORT]

ONE OF THE FRANCHISE FEES THAT I'M QUITE UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M STILL ACTUALLY TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT MYSELF IS. LOOK, WE ARE ENTITLED TO THOUGH AND IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS IN A IN A FRANCHISE FEE THAT WE GOT RIGHT AND I WILL GET THAT INFORMATION I'M ASSUMING THAT WAS IN 2023. YES.

WELL SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE CONSTANTLY SEEN WE JUST MAY HAVE A TIMING ISSUE ON THIS AND I NOTICE THAT IT WASN'T BOOKED, THE FEES WERE RECEIVED THEY JUST WEREN'T BOOKED TO US NOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE OKAY. TOWNVILLE HAD REVENUES THAT'S BASICALLY WE'VE HAD FEWER REIMBURSEMENTS FROM THE TANNAHILL FAMILY TAX THIS PARTICULAR FISCAL YEAR GRANT REVENUES THAT'S ACTUALLY OUR FUNDS THAT WERE BACK FROM 1921 AND WE WERE USING THAT FOR SALARY REIMBURSEMENTS WE'VE EXPENDED THOSE FUNDS THAT ACTUALLY OUT OF THIS FISCAL YEAR SO WE WILL NOT BE RECEIVING THOSE FUNDS ANYMORE. WE'VE SPENT THE ENTIRE AMOUNT THAT'S WHY IT'S AROUND $200,000 LESS FOR GRANT REVENUES REFLECTING THAT LINE ON THEM

[00:05:04]

SO IT WAS BOOKED TO MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES SO TAKING THAT MONEY OUT BASICALLY WE'RE ABOUT EVEN FOR MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES AND THAT TYPICALLY IS LIKE UBER, LYFT EXACT BEAR THOSE TYPE OF REVENUE ON THE MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES.

SO THAT WAS IT WAS FOR AN INSURANCE CLAIM ON WHAT WAS IT STORM DAMAGE STORM DAMAGE SO TYPICALLY AND I GUESS MAYBE THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AND PUBLIC ACCOUNTING WOULD YOU BOOK THAT AS REVENUE AND NOT TAKE IT WRITE AGAINST THE EXPENSE THAT THAT YOU DID ON THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IN ESSENCE THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR IT'S FOR REPLACING FOR REPAIR IT'S NOT FOR ANY SPECIFIC TO SO WHAT WERE WE BRINGING IN UNDER UNDER REVENUE THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD POINT I WOULD ACTUALLY THE STICK WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT OR EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSE YEAH AND THEN WHAT THE GOSSIP BUT THE WAY THAT THIS WAS BOOKED BY US AND THE HOUSE IS BOOKED BY THE COUNTY REGARDING TO THE BUT THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE FOR REVENUE OF HILTON HEAD I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU BRIAN ON YOUR FIREFIGHTING FEES WHICH WE DEAL AS A REVENUE ITEM, WHAT MAKES UP THAT NUMBER? THOSE THOSE FEES ARE ACTUALLY FROM THERE FROM THE AIRLINES AS WELL. WELL, YOU WON'T YOU'LL SEE THERE WON'T BE MUCH OF AN INCREASE THERE. IT'S ONLY AROUND 18,000 THAT'S DUE TO HIGHER VOLUMES SLIGHTLY HIGHER VOLUMES WITH THE AIRLINES.

BUT WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY INCREASE FIREFIGHTING FEES FOR AIR FLIGHT 25.

SO IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME TYPE OF IDEA AS THE RENTS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE AIRLINES.

THE SECURITY FEES AND SUCH. THE AIRLINES ACTUALLY PAY A SEPARATE FEE FOR FIREFIGHTING SERVICES THAT AT THE AIRPORT PROVIDES. YES.

AND THAT'S BASED ON THE DEPLOYMENTS, NOT ON NUMBER FLIGHTS BUT ON NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND APPOINTMENTS AND AND EMPLOYMENT. JUST EMPLOYMENT.

IT'S JUST EMPLOYMENT. SO WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE COMING IN AND GETTING FIREFIGHTING ONLY PEOPLE SAY WELL JUST PEOPLE WHO LOOK DOESN'T QUITE SENSE BUT ALL RIGHT. ONE POINT I WANT TO BRING AND THIS IS PRETTY IMPORTANT IS IF YOU LOOK AT INTEREST INCOME WE'VE NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE OR AT LEAST NOT SINCE I'VE BEEN AT THE AIRPORT AND PROBABLY BEFORE THAT WITH NEW COUNTY FINANCE STAFF THAT'S THERE.

WE'RE LOOKING INTO WE SHOULD BE COLLECTING INTEREST INCOME OFF OF EQUITY IN FULL CASH THAT'S BEING HELD AT THE COUNTY RIGHT BECAUSE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WE HAVE IT ON PAPER THAT WE HAVE EQUITY IN HOLD CASH. IT'S WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT WITH THAT FOURTH RIGHT YEAH SO THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF FIGURING OUT HOW MUCH THAT SHOULD BE THEY'VE DONE IT WITH HST FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR BUT THEY'RE ALSO POTENTIALLY GOING BACK FOR PRIOR FISCAL YEARS. WHICH GUYS ARE THAT POOL OF CASH? A PERCENTAGE OF THAT IS OURS AND WHEN I WAS MAYBE WE SHOULD GET THAT SAME PERCENTAGE IN THE INTEREST THAT WAS GENERATED AND I CALCULATED IT FOR HST AND IT WAS AROUND 2.8% OF WHAT THEY HAD AND HOW THEY DID THEIR WHOLE BIG CALCULATION AND NOT TO JUMP MODEL JUMP TO RW REAL QUICK WITH THE SAME TYPE OF SITUATION IT'S IT'S NOT AS MUCH MONEY IT'S LIKE MAYBE 15 GRAND AND INTEREST COME BUT THEY HAVEN'T PUT IT YET AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING BACK YEARS TO SEE HOW MUCH MONEY THAT SHOULD HAVE THAT AND TRY TO ADJUST THAT FOR US WHICH IS GOOD WHICH GOOD ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT SORT OF THOSE INTERESTS THERE A COOL COUPLE OF YEARS ONE HERE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND I DIDN'T GET INTO IT HST WITH THE FINANCE DIRECTOR OF THE COUNTY AT THIS POINT WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING BACK FOR.

RW SO I'M ASSUMING WOULD DO LIKEWISE FOR YOU CHECK STATUS WELL I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ARE GOING BACK I'M WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM BUT THE 99,000 REPRESENTS ONE YEAR.

YES, YES. YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON REVENUE ? INTEREST INCOME IS AVAILABLE FOR THE AIRPORT TO SPEND ON VARIOUS PROJECTS IT'S ACTUALLY CASH AVAILABLE THE AIRPORT IT'S GOING INTO EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AT THE END OF THE DAY WE HAVE OUR REVENUES AND EXPENSES. YES.

[00:10:01]

I'M GOING TO EXPENSES. OKAY. THAT VERY MAJOR VARIANCES ON EXPENSES YOU'LL SEE PAYROLL THAT WENT UP 118,000 THAT WAS MAINLY PRIMARILY DUE TO THE ANNUAL COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT. THE COUNTY HAD A COMPENSATION STUDY WHERE SOME SALARIES FOR INCREASED AND WE ALSO HIRED TWO POOR TIME FIREFIGHTERS FOR PART OF THE YEAR THAT THAT A LITTLE BIT AS WELL AND THERE WERE SOME OVERTIME COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH WE HAD THIS SNOWSTORM OVERTIME FOR STAFF AS WELL AS SOME OVERTIME THAT RESULTED FROM A FIREFIGHTER VACANCY SO THOSE ARE REALLY REALLY WHY THAT LINE ITEM WOUND UP AS MUCH AS IT DID . IT'S ADVERTISING YOU'LL SEE THAT DECREASED UNDER 35,000 THAT WAS MAINLY OR PARTIALLY DUE TO OUR SKIES. THE D.O.T. GRANT AND THAT MONEY WAS BASICALLY SPENT ON THE BASICALLY PROFESSIONAL FEES WENT UP AROUND 56,000 AND THAT WAS MAINLY DUE TO COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR OUTSIDE CONTRACT TO SECURE OUR COSTS FOR SECURITY SERVICES AND BEING THAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING IN-HOUSE SECURITY STAFF THAT THAT LINE SHOULD GO IN THE FUTURE. THE MISCELLANEOUS EXPENDITURES THAT WENT UP 114,000 THAT WAS DUE TO DUE TO AN FAA COMPLIANCE PAYMENT THAT WE HAD TO PAY DURING THE YEAR AND ALL CAPITAL EQUIPMENT AND ALL BACK THAT OUT AFTER THIS THAT ONE UP 172,000 PURCHASES INCLUDED ELECTRIC CHARGING STATION ITEMS SUCH AS TRACTORS AIRCRAFT DOLLIES AND AIR BAGS LIGHTED RUNWAY X WORKERS AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AND AS WELL BRIAN DOES NOT CAPITAL EQUIPMENT HAVE TO BE AMORTIZED AS OPPOSED TO EXPENSED? EXACTLY. BUT THIS IS THE WAY IT'S ALL WITH THE COUNTY AND THEN WHAT I'LL DO IN THE NEXT LOG IS I BACK THAT OUT AND IT IT REALLY DOESN'T HIT THE INCOME EXPENSE STATEMENT IT WILL HIT ASSETS AS A AS A CAPITAL ASSET AND THEN OVER TWO YEARS THERE WILL BE DEPRECIATION EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND THAT'S IN THIS SLIDE HERE WHERE.

I BACK IT OUT TO GET A MORE TRUE PICTURE AND I LEFT DEPRECIATION UP FOR BOTH YEARS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T GOT IT YET FOR FY 25 SO I WANTED TO EVEN PLAYING FIELD AND I DID CONTACT THE COUNTY FINANCE AND THEY SAID THAT SHOULD BE BOOKED IN OCTOBER PROBABLY.

SO THERE'S STILL THE PROCESS IS TYPICAL BECAUSE IT'S GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING WHERE YOU JUST TAKE A LITTLE OVER THE RIVER. THE LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR THE EQUIPMENT ARE YEARS OR SOMETHING WITH NO REASON TO BOOK IT LIKE WE IN PRIVATE SECTOR WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GET A LUMP SUM BECAUSE DOESN'T MATTER WE DON'T PAY TAXES.

THE ONE THING I HAVE A QUESTION ON THOUGH IS GOING BACK BECAUSE UTILITIES JUMP.

I'VE NEVER SEEN UTILITIES JUMP THAT MUCH MORE. WE'RE TALKING OVER 20% FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT. YEAH. AND BASICALLY IF SOMEONE LEAVES THE WATER ON BUT THERE WAS A WATER LEAK BUT IT WASN'T THAT DIDN'T CAUSE IT WAS THAT WAS A PIECE OF WHAT THEY REALLY WE DID HAVE RATE INCREASES FOR FOR THINGS FOR COMMUNICATION WATER AND SEWER SERVICE MAINLY THE INTERNET PART OF IT OR IS IT I MEAN THAT'S A THAT'S A MASSIVE IT IS A MASSIVE JUMP AND I'M JUST IT'S FUNNY WHEN YOU LOOK AT EACH PIECE OF IT, IT DOES QUANTIFY THAT AMOUNT OF A JUMP. I COULD DO AN ALLOCATION FOR YOU ALL FOR WE'D LIKE TO SHOW THIS JUMP. YEAH I DO THAT EASILY FOR YOU AND GET IT OFF TO YOU BUT HOW DO WE GET AN HD WHO WHO PROVIDES THE INTERNET? WE HAVE SPECTRUM AND WE USE WE SMART AND SMART LIKE LIGHT IS ONE IS IT BACK UP OR IS IT DIFFERENT FACILITIES OR SERVICE OKAY WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT THAT IT'S KIND OF A TEDIOUS PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE THESE FEES ARE BEING TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE MEANING SHOULD WE REALLY BE PAYING THESE BECAUSE THEY THEY HAVE GONE UP QUITE A BIT WE'RE YEAH WE'RE CALLING ME LIKE IT'S PRETTY AND I ONLY LOOK AT IT FROM OUR STANDPOINT OF WHAT OKAY SO WHAT'S HAPPENING OVER AT MY COMPANY RIGHT NOW WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE INCREASES LIKE UTILITIES USUALLY STAY FAIRLY

[00:15:05]

I MEAN WELL THAT JUMP MEANING YOU DON'T TAKE AWAY THE PRIVATE SECTOR VERSUS SAY RESIDENTIAL RIGHT THE BUSINESS THERE'S IF THERE'S AN INCREASE IT'S AN INCREASE FOR EVERYBODY ACROSS THE BOARD TYPICALLY SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY I CAN I CAN GIVE YOU ONLY AROUND 3%.

I CAN I CAN GIVE YOU A PERSONAL EXAMPLE ON THE INTERNET CHARGES.

I MEAN SPARK LIGHT CAME BACK JUST THIS MONTH AND DOUBLED MY AND WHEN I GOT ON THE PHONE WITH THEM AND NEGOTIATED WITH THEM IT WENT DOWN TO A $5 INCREASE SO THESE FEES CAN ARE NEGOTIABLE IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE UTILITY FEES ASSIGNED THE COUNTY TO THE AIRPORT WHICH THE COUNTY ACTUALLY BILLED SPECIFIC FOR COUNTY FACILITIES LIKE FOR INSTANCE AT ALL ELECTRIC IT'S KIND OF IT'S BROKEN DOWN BROKEN OUT BY BILL BUT WE DON'T LIKE AND WHAT WE PAY THOSE BILLS THEN IT GETS BOOKED THOSE WE LOOKED AT AND THOSE WHO GOT IT I'M WE'RE I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED AS YOU ALL BROUGHT UP AS FAR AS WHAT THE TYPE OF FEES LIKE ETHERNET FEES AND STUFF BECAUSE THEY REALLY GO UP A LOT.

YEAH THEY WENT UP THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHERE I'VE GOT TO KNOW NOW IT COULD BE THAT WHEN IT WAS BEING BOOKED PREVIOUS YEARS THAT IT WAS NOT BEING BOOKED PROPERLY.

OKAY I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT BUT IF NOBODY ELSE IS SEEING THOSE EXPENSE INCREASES ON A REGULAR YOU I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE JUMPED UP THAT MUCH RIGHT AND ALL LIKE I SAID ALL AND I KNOW THOSE THINGS ARE TEDIOUS TO LOOK AT BECAUSE I'VE DONE LIKE OVER AND BEFORE DOMINION WHERE YOU HAD 8 MILLION DIFFERENT LEAD INS AND YOU GOT A BILL THAT'S LIKE 30 PAGES LONG AND YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GOT EVERY SINGLE YOU KNOW DO THEY GRAB THE NEIGHBOR AND NOT YOU KNOW AND, INSTEAD OF YOURS OR WHATEVER AND ALSO IF THEY LABELED IT CORRECTLY YEAH. YEAH. DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE HST OR THE QUESTIONS SO WELL WHAT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I WOULD HAVE IS BASED ON YOU KNOW, THE NET INCOME THAT WE'VE WE'VE SEEN AND YOU KNOW, WE HAD A SLIGHT ON IT. WHERE ARE WE SITTING ON CASH THOUGH? HOW MUCH CASH ON PASSENGERS WHEN YOU LOOK THIS MORNING WE HAVE AROUND APPROXIMATELY AN EQUITY IN FULL CASH 3.5 MILLION. OKAY.

ABOUT 3.5. 3.5 AND THAT'S THE MONEY IN THEORY THAT WE'RE COLLECTING THAT INTEREST YOU CAN GET A 3% IT ROUGHLY COMES OUT TO ABOUT $99,000 2.8%.

YEAH. I'LL GO ON TO RW HERE I ACTUALLY THE THREE ITEM TOP ITEMS FUEL OFF GAS AND OIL SALES WE HAD DECREASES IN THOSE AREAS DO WE HAD A DECLINE IN SALES VOLUME ACTUALLY FOR THE YEAR SO THAT'S WHAT'S WHY THAT IS BASICALLY AS FAR AS TIE DOWN FEES WE HAD AN INCREASE OF 18,000 THAT WAS DUE TO A RISE AND WE HAD SOME WE HAD HIGHER FEES BEING CHARGED AND ALSO HIGHER VOLUME REALLY ALL THE OTHER ITEMS THEY LOOK PRETTY CONSISTENT TO ME SOME MINOR DECREASES, SOME INCREASES AT THE END OF THE DAY OUR REVENUES WERE DOWN 70 APPROXIMATELY $70,000 FOR OUR W WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR RW AND WE BOOK IN ON THE AB GAS IN THE JET FUEL DO WE KEEP AN INVENTORY OF THAT OR WE JUST GO IN BASED ON POSITIVE WE EXPENSE OUT IN THE FIELD THAT WE BUY AND THEN WE COULD BRING IN THE REVENUE WE DO BUT THE YOU COULD HAVE A DIFFERENCE ON HOW MUCH WE MAKE FOR BASED ON TIMING OF WHEN WE GET AN INVOICE ON RIGHT BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT I'M LIKE WE SOLD LESS FUEL IN 2025 BUT WE MADE MORE MONEY ON JET FUEL RIGHT OPTIONS ON AND THAT'S WHY I WONDERED IF THAT'S HOW WE WERE DOING COUNTY FINANCE TYPICALLY DOES AN INVENTORY ADJUSTMENT AT THE END OF THE YEAR AND A IT ADJUST THESE NUMBERS OUT SO IT'S MORE REALISTIC THAT NOT BEEN DONE YET. YEAH YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE REVENUE SIDE? WELL ON THE EXPENSE SIDE PAYROLL WE DID HAVE AN INCREASE $34,000 THAT'S DUE WE HAD AN ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE TO COST OF LIVING INCREASE AND ALSO THE COUNTY COMPENSATION STUDY AND IT'S STILL QUANTIFIES THAT ALSO INCLUDES LIKE IN THOSE TYPES

[00:20:11]

WE HAVE BEEN CONCENTRATING ON A LOT OF MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SUCH AS WE DID DO WE TO PUT IN THEN PUT IN A NEW CONCRETE ACCESS WALKWAY WE HAD SOME AIR CONDITIONING REPAIRS.

WE STARTED TO REPLACE SOME OLD LED LIGHTING SO THOSE ITEMS PRETTY MUCH MADE UP THAT INCREASE AND THEN YOU'LL SEE ALSO FUEL GAS, JET PURCHASES THOSE ITEMS WENT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE LOWER VOLUME AND ALSO WILL BE ADJUSTMENT LIKE I MENTIONED THAT WILL MAKE THOSE A LITTLE BIT MORE TRUE AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH INVENTORY AND IT'S SCHOOL AND THAT'S WHAT WAS THE CAPITAL IT'S THE CAPITAL EQUIPMENT BASE SEPARATELY SO VEHICLE I THOUGHT THAT LISTED HERE THAT WE INCLUDED LIGHTS FROM THAT PART THE COUNTY LIKE THE LIGHTS THAT COVER ROTORCRAFT SIT IN THE GROUND AND WE HAVE WE BOUGHT THAT TRACKER BACK THEN TRACK TRACKER SO THAT IN ADDITION TO STUFF THAT THINGS ARE CHEAP BUT THAT WAS YEAH RIGHT NOT TO GET TOO MUCH IN THE WEEDS WITH LIKE THE ONLY THE LIGHTING JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT PER COUNTY RULES THAT HAS TO BE OVER $10,000 CONSIDER CAPITAL ITEM WE ACTUALLY HAD TO DO A TRANSFER OUT OF CAPITAL TO ANOTHER LINE ON BUT IT COMES OUT A COUPLE OF WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT HERE I THINK THERE'S A YOU KNOW A HEADS UP ON A WELL OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS RW HAS HAD TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN THE QUALITY AND SALE OF THE AIRPORT RAILINGS IS THAT REVENUES ARE DOWN ABOUT 5%, EXPENSES UP ABOUT 5%. IT'S A 10% SWING.

SO I THINK KNOW GOT TO KEEP AN EYE ON SEEING WHAT'S GOING ON. WELL, WE ALSO HAD WE ALSO HAD A RUNWAY SHUTDOWN PRIOR TO THAT THREE TIMES SO THAT THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT THAT'S WHY WE'RE ON THE REVENUE SIDE NOW THAT WE'RE CONTRIBUTORS TO THE REVENUE SIDE ON THE FUEL CERTAINLY. AND THE OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE SUPPLY SIDE.

OKAY. SO AFTER I HAD BACK AND CAPITAL EQUIPMENT AND SITE DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE SITE HAS TO DO WITH THE HANGARS AND THAT'S GOING TO BE REIMBURSED.

SO AFTER I TOOK THOSE ITEMS BACK AND WE'RE AROUND $126,000 NET INCOME AS COMPARED TO 180,000 LAST FISCAL YEAR. SO WE DID HAVE A DECREASE OF $55,000 APPROXIMATELY FOR THOSE. ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, NO THANK YOU ALTHOUGH IT'S NICE HAVING YOU AROUND. IT MAKES IT MAKES THIS MUCH EASIER THAN THE THAN PREVIOUSLY BEFORE YOU APPRECIATE IT HAS TO BE AROUND A GREAT JOB MUCH IMPROVED SO I DON'T KNOW NO NO BECAUSE I KNOW THAT NOW THESE ARE THESE ARE IN THE PAST JUST THE STATE ALREADY HAPPENED.

THERE'S NO WAY IT WON'T DO ANY GOOD. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANKS, RON. I KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY MEANT WHEN YOU SAID YOU APPRECIATE RON BEING HERE AND IT MAKES IT EASIER IT MEANS JOHN COULDN'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IT'S NICE THAT WE DIDN'T GET NUMBERS.

IT WAS HARD TO GET NUMBERS NOW YOU KNOW, IT'S NICE TO BE I KNOW WELL YEAH THAT'S TRUE AND THEY WERE REAL NUMBERS WE COULDN'T COULDN'T NUMBERS SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THEM ALL RIGHT I DID SEE I HAD A BEAUTIFUL NICE COVER SLIDE ON HERE AND.

I HAD TO TAKE IT OFF TO PUT 911 ON THERE BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT I THINK ABOVE EVERYTHING REALLY JUST TO KIND OF REFLECT BACK ON THAT ONE OF THOSE EVENTS WHERE OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NOBODY UNDER 24 YEARS OLD HERE. I DON'T THINK EVERYBODY REMEMBERS WHERE THEY WERE, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU WERE SO .

THAT SORT OF THING DOESN'T HAPPEN. LUCKILY TOO MANY IN A LIFETIME.

WE DID A LITTLE COMMEMORATION IN TERMINAL THIS MORNING AT 846 WE DID A MOMENT OF SILENCE.

EVERYTHING STOPPED IN THE TERMINAL AND SO WE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ALL THE THE FOLKS WHO

[00:25:04]

ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S MOVE ON. ALL RIGHT.

TERMINAL UPDATES. YEAH, I'M SORRY, LESLIE. I JUST WANTED TO ADD TO THAT I WAS ACTUALLY STANDING ON THE CAPITOL GROUNDS 24 YEARS AGO AT THIS TIME NEXT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF OUR HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE. AND WE WATCHED IN HORROR AS OUR GOVERNMENT CAME TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL. SO AND IT'S WEIGHING ON ME TODAY SO I APOLOGIZE BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY WE MUST REMAIN VIGILANT LEST WE NEVER FORGET, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. TERMINAL SEE ROSIE OUR GUEST LAST MINUTE UPDATES IN HERE BECAUSE YESTERDAY SLIDE LOOKED DIFFERENT BUT WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE TODAY YOU'LL SEE THAT THE FACING OF THE BUILDING HAS CHANGED AND THAT'S THAT'S ON UNDER PROGRESS OF GETTING OUTSIDE AND ON AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO A LOT OF EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING AT THE TERMINAL. YOU'LL SEE THE INSIDE AS WELL THAT'S CHANGING ON A DAILY BASIS SO IT'S PRETTY EXCITING. ALL RIGHT FOR YOU, THE EXTERIOR SHOTS HERE THAT'S, THE UPPER RIGHT IS ONE OF THE MAIN ENTRANCES THERE. SO YOU'LL SEE SEE THE PROGRESS . THAT'S WHERE WE'LL GO IN LATER TODAY.

SOME OF THE SIDING YOU CAN SEE GOING UP OR THE THE STRIPS AROUND THE WINDOWS THAT THAT'LL BE IN FRONT OF THE SIDING AND WHAT ELSE IS NOTEWORTHY WHERE GOT SOME STRIPING DONE ON THE LANES YOU CAN SEE THE HANDICAP AND SOME OF THOSE PULL UP PARKING SPOTS.

I THINK THAT'S ABOUT THE BIGGEST THING IT'S REALLY MADE THE TRAFFIC FLOW A LOT EASIER IN FRONT OF THE TERMINAL HAVING THOSE LANES OPEN ANYWAY. YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF PROGRESS OUT THERE AND ON THE INSIDE CAN SEE A LOT OF THE DRYWALL FINISHING AND ONCE YOU GET IN THERE YOU'LL ABLE TO SEE IT FIRSTHAND BUT IT IS VERY INTRICATE DRYWALL FINISHING THEY'RE HAVING TO DO THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT EDGES AND AND REVEALS AND THINGS THAT ARE IN THERE SO THE DRYWALL FOLKS ARE REALLY THEY SHOULD BE REFERRED TO AS ARTISTS NOT DRYWALL FOLKS THEY IT'S AMAZING WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR AND IT'S A KIND OF A SMALL CREW AND THEY'RE A SPECIALIZED CREW BUT THEY GO THROUGH AND IT IS IT IS AMAZING HOW THEY TRANSFORM THE THE ROOF INTO THE FINAL PRODUCT SO IT'S REALLY LOOKING GOOD INSIDE THERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SOME OF THE PAINT GOING ON SO IN THE UPPER LEFT ACTUALLY FINAL PAINT ON SOME OF THOSE THOSE PIECES THERE IS GOING IDEA OF SOME OF THE COLORS THAT WILL COME AROUND AND THEN ON THE THE POLES ON THE BOTTOM LEFT AND BOTTOM RIGHT YOU CAN SEE THERE'S KIND OF A REVEALING THOSE POLES AND THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME LED LIGHTING BEHIND THERE AND SOME LASER AND OR LASER CUT OUT METAL PIECES THAT GO ON THERE TO KIND OF LET THAT LIGHT SHINE THROUGH.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY PRETTY STYLISH WHEN IT IS DONE, NONE OF WHICH WAS DESIGNED BY ME. THIS WAS AN INTERESTING EVENT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WE HAD FARMER'S INSURANCE CONTACT US AND SAY HEY, WE'RE GOING BRING IN A I FORGET HOW MANY BUSSES IT WAS A LOT FIVE OR SIX OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THEY NEED TO CYCLE THROUGH AND YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT REALLY SET UP FOR BASED ON OUR OUR SIZE WHOLE LOT OF BIG VEHICLES GOING THROUGH THERE. BUT CRAIG ON IT AND WAS ABLE TO COORDINATE WHERE THE BUSSES WOULD WOULD FLOW THROUGH IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS ALL WORK AND AND IT WORKED EVERYBODY OUT HOW TO MOVE THE FOLKS FROM PLACE TO PLACE AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HOLD UP THE OTHER PASSENGERS AND THE OTHER VEHICLES THROUGH AND IT REALLY VALIDATED HAVING THOSE EXTRA LANES IN DRIVE UP ALONG THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AND IT'S NICE NOT HAVE THE OLD CANOPIES OUT FRONT THAT WERE OVER THE LANES WE HAD TO WORRY ABOUT VEHICLE HEIGHT SO IT'S GOOD TO JUST HAVE THESE FOLKS DRIVE THROUGH SO EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY THERE, RIGHT? DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO ASK THEM WHY THEY CHOSE COME INTO HILTON HEAD AS OPPOSED TO SAVANNAH? I NEVER TALKED TO SO I DON'T KNOW IF CRAIG TALKED TO THEM OR NOT.

DO YOU REMEMBER STEVE? I CAN SPEAK THAT A LITTLE BIT. THEY WERE UNSURE OF WHO ARE THESE THAT ARE COMING BECAUSE THEY THEY THEY FLEW IN AT THE BUSY OF THE DAY AND THEY LITERALLY WERE FILLING AIRPLANES WHOLE AIRPLANE. THIS WAS JUST THOSE PEOPLE AND WHAT IS IT FOR? THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND IT WAS FOR AND THEY CHOSE THIS AIRPORT BECAUSE THEIR CONVENTION WAS HERE IN HILTON. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE AND SHUTTLE THESE BUSSES BACK AND FORTH TO SAVANNAH. THAT'S THE REASON I THINK THEY FLY OUT. THEY FLEW IN AND THEN THEY FLEW OUT.

SO WE HAD TO DO THIS EVOLUTION IN REVERSE WHEN THEY EXITED ALL SIX BUS LOADS OF THREE PLANES

[00:30:01]

I THINK THAT'S A TESTIMONY THE AIRPORT THAT THEY CAME HERE WELL AND THE THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF THAT IS LOOKING AT THE NEXT STEP IS THAT AS WE WORK WITH OUR RESORT PARTNERS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT BECAUSE THIS FILLS ROOMS IS FILLS CONVENTION SPACES THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY FILLED BECAUSE IF YOU'VE EVER SET UP A CONVENTION BEFORE YOU LOOK FOR A PLACE IT'S YOU KNOW WHERE AIRPORT IS NO MORE THAN 15 OR 20 MINUTES FROM YOUR DESTINATION FOR YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A CONFERENCE SO NO ONE'S GOING TO FLY TO SAVANNAH AND THEN BUS PEOPLE UP HERE FOR A CONFERENCE SO WE LOSE THOSE CONFERENCES TO OTHER VENUES SO THIS ISLAND LOSES OUT ON THAT. SO IF WE TALK ABOUT THE SHOULDER SEASON WHERE THE HOTELS TAKE A NOSEDIVE, THIS IS ONE WAY TO HELP THAT AND AT THAT POINT IN THE YEAR WE'VE GOT MARGIN AT THE AIRPORT PLENTY OF ROOM THERE THERE'S CAPACITY AND LIFT AND IF THE AIRLINES KNEW THAT THERE WAS A DEMAND FOR THIS. I'M GUESSING THAT THEY WOULD INCREASE THEIR THEIR CAPACITY AS WELL DURING THOSE SHOULDER SEASONS.

SO TESTIMONY THAT IT CAN HAPPEN AND WE'D LIKE TO SEE A WHOLE LOT MORE OF THAT SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE DVC BE AWARE OF THIS AND OUR PARTNERS AT THE RESORTS KNOW THAT HEY THIS WORKED AND YOU NEED TO SCHEDULE CONFERENCES NOVEMBER THROUGH MARCH WITH YOU SCHEDULED FLIGHTS OR THEY CHARTERED FLIGHTS IF THEY WERE SCHEDULE SCHEDULE.

YEAH BUT YES TO YOUR POINT I THINK AS THERE COULD BE SCHEDULED CHARTERS AS WELL THAT WOULD WORK EITHER WAY. YOU KNOW THERE'S MORE FOLKS IN BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE WITH THE SCHEDULES LIKE THAT YOU'RE STILL GOING TO THE AIRPORT STILL BENEFITS WITH REVENUES PIECES COUNT THINGS LIKE THAT ON A SCHEDULE CHARTER IS THERE A MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS CHARTERED FLIGHTS TO COME INTO THE MAIN TERMINAL OR DO THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE IF IT'S A BONAFIDE CHARTER OR IS GOING TO GO IN THROUGH THE OTHER SIDE? THERE'S DIFFERENT PARTS YOU KNOW THAT GOVERN THAT WHETHER IT'S A 135 OR I THINK IT'S A33 80 OR 33I FORGET I HAVE TO LOOK AT IT BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHARTERS.

FOR EXAMPLE ON A SPORTS TEAM CHARTER IS AN AIRLINER THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN A 135 CHARTER.

SO ALL RIGHT. NEW PAINT THIS IS AN INVESTMENT WE'RE MAKING AT THE AIRPORT AND THIS WILL GET DAN OUT THERE DOING HIS ARTISTRY ON THE AIRFIELD.

BUT WHAT DOES FOR US IS WE CAN NOT HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE CONTRACTORS.

IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET PAINTING CONTRACTORS TO COME TO AIRPORT ESPECIALLY WHEN WE JUST DON'T HAVE A LOT OF VOLUME FOR THEM TO WHEN THEY COME AND WE ARE SEEING THAT YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT TO UPDATE OUR MARKINGS WITH THE THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER WE AND YOU KNOW EVERY 300 PLUS DAYS OF SUNSHINE THE MARKINGS FADE SO WE HAVE TO PAINT THEM ABOUT EVERY OTHER YEAR AND A HALF. IT'S GONE FROM EVERY OTHER YEAR TO ABOUT EVERY YEAR.

YEAH THERE'S SOME TYPE OF PAINTING. YEAH.

AND SO THIS MACHINE NOT ONLY THE PAINT SO WE CAN DO THE STRIPES, WE CAN DO THE BLOCKS NUMBERS WITH TEMPLATES AND ALL THAT BUT IT ALSO GOT THE GLASS BEADS SO WE CAN BE 100% COMPLIANT WITH THOSE STRIPES SO WE'VE ASKED DAN TO TO PRACTICE OFF THE AIRFIELD AND WHEN HE'S QUALIFIED WE'LL BRING THEM ON. BUT HE'S BEEN TO SCHOOL FOR IT SO HE UNDERSTANDS TO HOW TO WORK THIS THING AND WE CAN CALL PEOPLE IN AND HELP IF NEED BE BUT HE'S EXCITED TO DO THIS AS WELL BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT'S GOING TO SAVE THE AIRPORT TIME MONEY SO IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR US. ALL RIGHT. OVER TO RW HERE.

THIS HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AS. WELL, THE AREA ON THE FAR LEFT WAS ALL EXCAVATED YESTERDAY SO IT IT'S MOVING ALONG REALLY OVER THERE AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE SCHEDULE IS THEY TOLD US A NUMBER OF MONTHS AND IT SEEMED FAR TOO LONG ME I THINK THEY'LL BEAT THAT BUT IT'S IT'S MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY AND BRANDON I'M NOT IF YOU GOT ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT BRAND, ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE PROGRESS OVER THERE? YES, SIR. THAT'S ALL QUITE A LITTLE. YEAH.

SO WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THEM . BRAND IS UP THERE KIND OF WATCHDOG GROUP. THE WORK BUT THAT'S A THAT'S A BIG PROJECT AND THEN WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOU ON THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS ONE SO WE'LL BOTH PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND COORDINATE THAT BUT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE COMING IN NOW WHETHER THEY'RE CHECKING ON THEIR POSITION ON THE HANGER WAITING LIST OR WHETHER THEY'RE SIGNING UP TO BE ON THE HANGER WAITING LIST AND THEY SEE THIS GOING ON THEY'RE PRETTY HAPPY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES WE DIDN'T TELL THEM IT'S ONLY 22 HANGERS YET RIGHT IN THE HEART BUT. WE'RE DOING ALL WE CAN. ALL RIGHT, QUICK BUSINESS UPDATE FOR YOU STATE OF THE REGION THAT'S A HILTON HEAD ISLAND CHAMBER EVENT THAT

[00:35:01]

I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHAT OUR SPONSORSHIP WILL LOOK LIKE BUT WE TYPICALLY DO PARTICIPATE IN THAT SO WE'LL KEEP YOU ALL IN TOUCH IF WE HAVE SOME SOME OPEN SEATS FOR THAT PART 139 INSPECTION WAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I GUESS ABOUT THREE OR FOUR WEEKS AGO.

NO SALES. THAT'S RIGHT. WE GOT A TSA 1542 INSPECTION ON THE SAME DAY SO IT'S PRETTY BUSY. A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON AT THE AIRPORT. CRAIG AND NICOLE, THE TSA PORTION OF IT THAT WENT VERY SMOOTHLY AND PART WITH NINE WAS A BASICALLY A THREE AND A HALF DAY INSPECTION. SO THEY CAME ON A MONDAY AND LEFT THURSDAY LATE MORNING, EARLY AFTERNOON AND WE'RE TWO INSPECTORS AT THIS TIME SO WE HAD ONE FROM THE ATLANTA AREA WHICH IS NORMAL AND THEN WE HAD A SECOND ONE WHO CAME IN FROM D.C. TO KIND OF JUST WATCH AND ASK SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF THE PAST INSPECTIONS AND HOW THINGS HAVE GONE.

SO THIS THE FAA IS KIND OF SWUNG BACK TO A MORE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH ON THESE INSPECTIONS THINGS WENT VERY, VERY WELL. OUR TEAM OUT WITH DAN AS THE OPS CHIEF I HAVE HAD DAN IN HERE TO GET SOME KIND OF A TROPHY BUT HE'S OUT THERE.

HE NEVER WORKING. HE HAD THAT AIRFIELD READY AND ,HE HAD THE RECORDS READY AND THEY'RE EQUALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU GET INSPECTED AND EVERYTHING FROM YOUR TRAINING RECORDS ARE FULL WITH CHIEF COMING IN JUST LITERALLY A WEEK AND A HALF OR, TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE INSPECTION CHIEF WAS ABLE TO REALLY GET THINGS LEVEL OUT AND ALL THE TRAINING RECORDS WERE WERE GREAT TO MARK OVER AT THE RAF IS OUR GUY WHO KIND OF KEEPS UP WITH TOO SO HE HAD THINGS ORGANIZED SO HATS OFF TO THE TEAM. WE'RE COMING OUT OF THAT WITH I THINK THREE DISCREPANCIES OR THREE YOU KNOW, THREE ITEMS TO TO WORK ON WHICH IS IS PRETTY LOW SO WE'RE PRETTY HAPPY ABOUT THAT TOO. THAT ONE IS MARKINGS ON THE AIRFIELD SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO UPDATE THAT. THE INSPECTOR KNOWS THAT WE BOUGHT THE MACHINE AHEAD ARRIVED YES WE CAN SHOW THE NEW MACHINE BUT SHE NOTED THAT AND SO WITH EVERY ITEM THAT THEY THEY KNOW WE DISCUSS WITH THEM AN ACCEPTABLE TIME FOR US TO CHECK BACK IN, SHOW THEM THAT IT'S BEEN COMPLETED AND THEN THEY MARK IT OFF OF THE LIST.

SO WE DID THAT WITH THE PAINT WE'LL GET THAT SQUARED AWAY THAT WE HAD A COUPLE OF SIGNS SAME THING THE LIGHTED SIGN SOME OF THOSE FACES WILL KIND OF FADE OUT AGAIN WITH THE SUNLIGHT. SO YOU GO ON THE THE DOMINANT SIDE OF THAT OF EACH SIGN AND WE GOT TO REPLACE SOME OF THOSE FACES. SO THAT'S IN OUR ROUTINE REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE BUT ONCE THOSE ARE DONE THOSE WILL GET CHECKED.

THE LAST ONE IS THE BIG ONE. IT'S STILL A MINOR IN THE FAA BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY REALLY WANT US TO PAY ATTENTION TO AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE. COUNCILWOMAN TONER THIS ONE HAS TO DO WITH OFF AIRPORT TREES. OKAY, SO THEY DO AT OUR APPROACH SURFACES THEY DO LOOK AT OUR DEPARTURE SURFACES AND THEY SAID YOU GUYS NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS AND YOU NEED TO WORK WITH THE TOWN BECAUSE THE TOWN NEEDS TO HELP YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THIS.

SO WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE TOWN AND COORDINATING THOSE BUT IN ORDER TO KEEP SAFE AND EFFICIENT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THAT OUT OF ME ALL THE TIME BECAUSE IF WE DO NOTHING ELSE AT THE AIRPORT WE NEED TO BE SAFE AND EFFICIENT WE CANNOT BE FULLY SAFE AND EFFICIENT IF WE'RE HELD UP ON BEING ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE ITEMS. SO OUR FIRST STEP IN ADDRESSING THAT WE CAN'T REMOVE THE TREES QUICKLY BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF STEPS TO GET THROUGH BUT THE FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS HAVE AN INSPECTION TO IDENTIFY WHICH TREES ARE ARE IN OUR SURFACES SO THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH A PLAN. SO THAT'S HOW WE'LL BE ABLE TO CHECK THAT ONE OFF BY NEXT YEAR. SO WE'LL HAVE ALL THESE SIGNED OFF BUT THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ONE THAT WE REALLY NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO VERY READY TO WITH THE TOWN ON THAT TO BASICALLY SAY THESE ARE THE PARAMETERS. I MEAN WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO MORE WORK THAN WE NEED TO OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT'S COSTLY BUT.

WE COULDN'T HAVE A AN ONGOING AGREEMENT THAT STATES THESE WHEN ANY TREE WITHIN THIS PATH REACHES TO A POINT WHERE IT'S COMING INTO THE AIRSPACE AND IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN THEY'LL HAVE AN ONGOING SO DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS.

RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO GOVERNMENT IS GONNA WORK THAT OUT. YEAH YEAH. AND I'LL TELL YOU WE HAVE YOU KNOW GOOD WORKING WITH THE TOWN SO WE'RE IN ACTIVE DIALOGS WITH COUNCILWOMAN AND WITH MICHELLE ON THE BACK SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT AND I CAN TELL YOU I FEEL DEFINITELY MUCH MORE OPTIMISTIC THAN I HAVE IN THE PAST OF BEING ABLE TO COME UP WITH A SOLID COLLABORATIVE APPROACH ON THIS TO MAKE IT WORK WAS WASN'T EFFORT WHEN THE RUNWAY WAS BEING EXTENDED TO ACTUALLY REMOVE TREES THE TOWN DID NOT ALLOW THAT. INSTEAD THE COMPROMISE WAS TO CUT THE TREES TO A CERTAIN LENGTH ABOUT WELL NOW THE PROBLEM IS THE TREES KEEP GROWING AND THAT WAS ALREADY EIGHT YEARS AGO NOW TREES GROW KIND OF FAST AND SO I CAN TELL

[00:40:04]

YEAH YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT WE DID DID HAVE THAT LIMITATION LAST TIME WE DID THIS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IN THE PHASES THEY'D RATHER SEE AN OBSTRUCTION GO AWAY AND NOT COME BACK.

YEAH. SO WE DID HAVE TO JUST BASED ON THE LOCAL ORDINANCES PUBLIC SENTIMENT LAST TIME DO SOME TRIMMING WE DID SOME REMOVAL BUT IT WAS MOSTLY TRIMMING AND WE ACTUALLY HAD TO NEGOTIATE A STEEPER WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST WAY TO GO BECAUSE. THERE ARE TWO SERVICES A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK ONLY OF THE APPROACH SURFACE THAT'S THE ONE THAT GETS ALL THE PRESS BUT THE MORE IMPORTANT SURFACE IS THE DEPARTURE SURFACE AND IT'S A FLATTER SURFACE. SO WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THE DEPARTURE SURFACE TIME AROUND AND DO OUR BEST TO MAKE THIS AIRPORT, YOU KNOW, AS SAFE AND EFFICIENT AS IT CAN BE BECAUSE YOU'RE NETWORK CARRIERS RIGHT NOW ARE TAKING HITS ON THEIR SEATS BECAUSE OF THOSE OBSTRUCTIONS. SO THE AIRPLANES THAT OPERATE HERE ARE NOT GOING OUT FULL. YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT REACHING EVERYWHERE YOU CAN REACH BECAUSE THEY CAN'T TAKE A FULL TANK OF GAS AND CAN'T TAKE FULL COMPLEMENT OF PASSENGERS OR A FULL COMPLEMENT OF THEIR BAGGAGE. SO WE'RE NOT USING THE RUNWAY WE HAVE AND THE EFFORTS WILL BE TO FOCUS ON BEING ABLE TO USE THE ASPHALT THAT ALREADY HAVE.

AND NOT ONLY THAT BECAUSE OF THAT SAME RESTRICTION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, SOME OF THE AIRLINES HAVE TO TAKE OFF ON THE WRONG RUNWAY THAT'S BEING USED AND THAT DISRUPTS THE WHOLE TRAFFIC PATTERN OF THE AIRPORT. YEAH THERE'S A DIFFERENT FOR RUNWAY THREE AS OPPOSED TO TWO ONE AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH.

YEAH. SO LONG STORY SHORT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT SEE SOME PROGRESS ATTACKS SOMETHING WE'VE GOT AN APPLICATION IN YOU REMEMBER BACK IN PROBABLY FEBRUARY YOU GUYS APPROVE US APPLYING FOR THAT AND SO THAT APPLICATION IS IN AND THEN WE'LL DO A PRESENTATION IN OCTOBER AND AGAIN WHAT WE USE THOSE FUNDS FOR ARE SINCE THEY'RE THEIR ATX FUNDS THE STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT THOSE ARE USED FOR EFFORTS OUTSIDE 50 MILE RADIUS AND OF COURSE EVERYBODY FLIES IN FROM OUTSIDE OF 50 MILES ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE SO WE USE THOSE FUNDS FOR MARKETING AND ADVERTISING AND THOSE YOU KNOW BIGGER CITIES LIKE WASHINGTON DC, NEW YORK, BOSTON, PHILADELPHIA CHICAGO THINGS LIKE THAT NOW DOESN'T GO THAT FAR. WE CAN HIT ALL THOSE BUT WE DO A LOT OF ONLINE ADVERTISING SO IF YOU IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE IS SEARCHING FOR A VACATION SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTHEAST YOU WILL SEE OUR ADS POP UP. THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE HUNT YOU AND THEN WE HUNT YOU. SO JUST COME HERE NEXT TO 1 MILLION LITTLE FREEDOM PARK ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THEY A GROUNDBREAKING OVER THERE FOR A GREAT NEW BUILD FIRST ACTUAL BUILDING ON THE FACILITY AND THAT'S GOING TO BE I GUESS IS AN ARCHEOLOGICAL RESEARCH CENTER, AN EDUCATION CENTER THAT'S TO BE THERE. AND AND I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THAT GROUNDBREAKING AND IT'S SUCH A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH A MAN AND HIS TEAM AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW. MITCHELL BILL DOES STRETCH ON THE NORTHERN PART OF THE AIRPORT. SO BACK JUST AS I WAS TAKING THIS JOB FINISHING UP THE ARTIFACT RECOVERY AT THE NORTH END OF THE AIRPORT SO IT'S PRETTY EXCITING TO SHARE THAT THAT PIECE OF HISTORY AND KNOW THAT A MAN AND HIS TEAM ARE WORKING SO HARD TO PRESERVE THAT AND MAKE THAT SUCH A PROMINENT PART OF THE KIND OF THE HISTORICAL CULTURAL TOURISM THAT'S BEING FOCUSED ON AT THE ISLAND. SO AMON AND I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER ON ON HOW WE YOU KNOW, KIND OF INFUSE SOME OF MITCHELL BILL'S HISTORY INTO THE END OF THE AIRPORT AS WELL AS WE IMPROVE THINGS SO I'M PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

YES THIS IS THE SPELL NOPE JUST MOVED ON AND THEN IT'S GOT TO THAN IT IS.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT TWO L'S. YEP.

NO, NO, YOU'RE RIGHT IS I'M TRYING TO CORRECT IT JUST YOU KNOW BUT WE DON'T WELL BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO CORRECT SO THAT'S WHAT GOT JUST A PASSING COMMENT.

ALL RIGHT SO IMAGINE A T AND THEY'RE ALL JUST GOING TO LET IT GO AND THERE'S ALWAYS ONE.

YEAH, YEAH. RIGHT. WELL, JOHN JOHN IT'S NATURAL.

THAT'S RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I'M NOT A TYPIST. ALL RIGHT, THIS LAST ONE I THINK YOU'LL BE EXCITED ABOUT AIRBORNE POSITION REFERENCE TOOL THIS I JUST GOT AN EMAIL ABOUT THIS LAST FRIDAY AND AND IT IS HUGE IT'S KIND OF FUNNY I GOT THE EMAIL JUST A QUICK STORY.

I WAS UP AT THE NAVAL ACADEMY FOR MY SON'S PARENTS WEEKEND OUT THERE.

HE'S A JUNIOR AND SO HE'S HIS CLASSES ARE INSANE RIGHT NOW AND I WAS WE GOT THE TAN CLASS WITH HIM ON FRIDAY SO I WAS WALKING INTO HIS AERODYNAMICS CLASS WHEN PEOPLE USE THE EXPRESSION IS GREAT TO ME WAS ALL GREEK THERE WASN'T A NUMBER ON THE BOARD IT WAS ALL GREEK

[00:45:02]

I EXITED THE CLASSROOM AND READ HIS EMAIL AND SURE ENOUGH THE FIRST PRIVATE COMPANY HAS BEEN SELECTED. THEY WON THE BID TO PROVIDE THE AP T AND BASICALLY WHAT IS IS A STARS DISPLAY IT'S LIKE AN UPDATED UPGRADED STARS DISPLAY THAT WILL WORK WITH THE TOWER TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN IN THE CAB SO THAT IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST THING I CAN TALK ABOUT TODAY IS THAT IT'S SO MUCH IS GOING TO IMPROVE THE AIRPORT SO MUCH TO HAVE THAT SO I'VE ALREADY MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPANY THAT WON THE BID. I ACTUALLY HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR THE COMPANY SO IT WAS GREAT. I CALLED HIM UP AND SAID SOON CAN WE GET A SITE SURVEY? SO HE'S HOOKED ME UP WITH A PERSON DOES THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO COORDINATE A SCHEDULE AND PUT TOGETHER A FLOWCHART FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS COST BUT IT'S KIND OF A NO BRAINER. SO WE HAVE THOSE WHEELS IN MOTION LESS A WEEK AFTER IT WAS PUT OUT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, SITE SURVEY STARTING TO WORK SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT BILL'S EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

WE'LL MAKE THIS HAPPEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO FAR THERE'S ONLY ONE AIRPORT I THINK IT'S A GLACIER MONT GLACIER PARK HAS IMPLEMENTED THIS IT'S ANOTHER THESE ARE FOR FEDERAL CONTRACT ONLY SO WE'RE GOING TO RUN AS FAST AS WE CAN AND TRY TO BE IN THE IN THE FIRST FEW THAT THEY GET THIS INSTALL. SO THAT WAS A VERY, VERY WELCOME PIECE OF NEWS. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE EXCITED THAT SO WE'LL SEE.

AND THEN ONE QUICK STORY I MEANT TO DO AT THE BEGINNING BUT THIS IS AGAIN A KIND OF COLLABORATIVE ITEM JUST HAPPENED TODAY RIGHT BEFORE US LEAVING TO COME OVER HERE IN ABOUT 20 MY CELL PHONE RANG. IT WAS A NUMBER I DIDN'T AND I USUALLY DON'T ANSWER THOSE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL TELLING ME ABOUT THE $53,000 LOAN I CAN GET INTEREST FREE OR WHATEVER BUT I ANSWERED THIS ONE AND YOU KNOW THERE'S NO CONSEQUENCE OR NO COINCIDENCES HAVE TO BE SEAN LEININGER FROM THE TOWN AND HE CALLED ME AND HE WAS DOWN SHELTER COVE VETERANS PARK AND HE SAID, JOHN, THERE'S AN AIRPLANE THAT IS CIRCLING OVER US AND WE'RE TRYING TO DO A 911 COMMEMORATION CEREMONY OF VETERANS PARK DO YOU TALK TO THESE GUYS CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? AND I SAID LET ME CHECK. I'LL I'LL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU RIGHT AWAY. SO I CALL THE TOWER AND BILL SAID YEP, SURE ENOUGH I KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. HE SAID THAT'S DNR ARE OUT THERE DOING A MANATEE CENSUS. THAT'S WHY THEY WERE FLYING OVER THAT AREA BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE MANATEES ARE. AND I SAID CAN YOU TELL THEM TO TAKE A COFFEE BREAK PLEASE? THERE'S A CEREMONY THAT'S TRYING TO HAPPEN BELOW HIM. HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON BUT CAN YOU HAVE THEM COME ON IN FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO AND I WAS WATCHING IT ON 1200 AREA AND SURE ENOUGH ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER I SAW HIM TAKE HIS LAST TURN AND COME BACK IN TO LAND SO JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HEY IF SOMETIMES IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION CALL US AND ASK BECAUSE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT SO THAT WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL AND HOPEFULLY THE CEREMONY ENDED A LITTLE BIT MORE PEACEFULLY. SO AND LUCKILY IT WASN'T SO MANY YOU KNOW ON A DAY LIKE THIS YOU WONDER WHEN THERE'S AN AIRPLANE CIRCLING AT A THOUSAND FEET YOU DO KIND OF WONDER SO THIS HAPPENED TO BE DNR DOING A CENSUS BUT WE ASKED THEM TO TAKE A BREAK SO. THAT IS ALL I HAVE TODAY. SO WE HAVE A QUESTION OR TWO FOR YOU JOHN, PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE AND WHILE I KNOW IT'S NOT UNDER YOUR CONTROL ON CHURCH SCHOOL DEPARTURE END OF RUNWAY WHAT'S GOING ON THERE? YEAH THAT'S, MOVING BUT IT'S SLOW SO WE'VE GOT ANOTHER MEETING COMING UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH A GROUP TO TALK ABOUT THAT THE CHANGE SINCE THE LAST MEETING AND I MIGHT ADD I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE BRIEF THAT BUT JUST TALKING WITH THE ARCHEOLOGICAL GROUP THAT'S WORKING ON THE SITE THEY IDENTIFY THE NEED FOR A ANOTHER PHASE OF ARCHEOLOGICAL WORK OUT THERE SO THAT NEXT PHASE BE ACTUAL RECOVERY OF ARTIFACTS BECAUSE THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT HISTORIC AND PREHISTORIC ARTIFACTS THAT WERE FOUND IN THE INITIAL SHOVEL DIGS.

SO WE'LL WORK WITH THE FOLKS FROM THE CHURCH TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT HOW THEY WANT TO DO THE EDUCATIONAL PORTION OF THAT BECAUSE PART OF THAT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT IS AN EDUCATIONAL PART WHEN YOU GET INTO PHASE THREE IF YOU REMEMBER OUR MISSION BILL WE HAD A CURRICULUM DEVELOPED FOR SCHOOLS AND THERE WAS A TRAVELING KIND OF SET UP THAT WAS USED TO BE DONE AT SCHOOLS OR TRADE SHOWS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO THERE WILL BE SOME TYPE OF COMPONENT LIKE THAT AFTER THE ARTIFACTS WERE RECOVERED.

[00:50:01]

WE'RE STILL DRAFTING UP AND SO OKAY ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THE REPORT AND WE'LL TURN IT BACK TO YOU TO STAY HERE JUST STAY RIGHT HERE BECAUSE DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY UNFINISHED BUSINESS HERE. WE CAN GO PAST THAT BECAUSE WE'RE A FISHING. WE HAD ALL OF OUR BUSINESS DONE GOOD.

[IX. 1. CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGE (HXD) - RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGE ("CFC") AND DIRECTING THE COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF THE PROCEEDS - VOTE]

ALL RIGHT, WE GOT AN ITEM YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND EXPLAIN THIS ACTION ITEM ON WHAT EXACTLY IS YES. THIS IS ANYBODY FAMILIAR WITH THE CFC CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGE IF YOU'VE RENTED A CARD AT A AT AN AIRPORT IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR YOUR BILL YOU'LL SEE A CFC ON THERE ALMOST EVERY AIRPORT HAS THEM AND IT'S BASICALLY LIKE HOTEL CHARGING A BED TAX. SO WE APPLIED THE TAX MONEY WE USE THAT AT TAX MONEY CFC SIMILAR SO WHAT THIS IS IS THE AIRPORT WOULD WORK WITH THE CAR AGENCIES TO IMPOSE AN ADDITIONAL FEE PER TRANSACTION DAY ON THOSE RENTAL CARS AND THEN THOSE FUNDS THAT ARE COLLECTED AND REMITTED TO THE AIRPORT THEN WILL BE USED FOR PROJECTS THAT BENEFIT THE AIRPORT AND THE RENTAL CARS SO WHETHER THOSE ARE PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE RENTAL CARS WHETHER THAT'S NEW COUNTERS, OFFICE SPACE, THINGS LIKE THAT THE RENTAL CAR AGENCIES THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHERE THOSE FUNDS COME FROM. SO THINK ABOUT PHASE TWO OF THE TERMINAL BUILDING. YOU KNOW THERE'S A PORTION OF THAT PHASE DEALS WITH THE RENTAL CARS AND THEIR BUSINESS WHEN WE THIS IMPLEMENTED WE CAN LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, A PROJECTION OF ON THIS AND THEN POTENTIALLY OFFSET OUR ESTIMATE OUR CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE ON THE TERMINAL BY BY THIS IT'S AN IDEA THAT WE CAN WORK WITH BUT ANYWAY THE RENTAL CAR COMPANIES ARE ALL TWO THUMBS UP ON THIS. YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO SEE THINGS IMPROVED AND THEY REALIZE THAT YOU'VE GOT TO FUND THAT SOMEHOW AND YOU DO IT EVERYWHERE.

I RENTED BOSTON AND LAST WEEKEND AND BWI I THINK IN BOSTON I PAID SIX BUCKS A DAY EXTRA IN 575 AT BWI WE'RE GOING TO COME IN WE HAD THIS DRAFTED $7 A DAY.

IT'S GOING TO BE $6 A DAY TO START IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. SO THE RESOLUTION YOU HAVE SAYS SEVEN BUT IT BE CHANGED A SIX THE ONE THAT WENT TO COUNCIL IS SIX.

THE ONLY OTHER CHANGE ON THIS IS THE FINAL PARAGRAPH GAVE THE AIRPORT DIRECTOR THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THAT FROM TIME TO TIME WE WE THE COUNTY ATTORNEY SAID WE NEED TO REMOVE THAT BECAUSE IF WE WERE TO ADJUST THAT FEE WE TAKE IT BACK TO COUNCIL. OKAY SO THEY WOULD UNDER THEY WOULD MAKE THAT CALL SO. THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO CHANGES IN THE DRAFT RESOLUTION THAT WILL BE IN FRONT OF PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE ON MONDAY AND THE RENTAL CAR AGENCIES KNOW THAT SO THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT MOVING THIS THING FORWARD AND THE GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IT AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN BUT TO DO THAT WE WILL HAVE MORE MEETINGS WITH THE RENTAL CAR AGENCIES EXPLAINING WHAT PROJECTS WE ANTICIPATE USING THE FUNDS FOR ESTIMATE THE COLLECTIONS AND THAT SO YOU'RE SMART GUY BRYAN WILL BE INVOLVED IN THAT AND AND ALSO THE SAME CONSULTANT WHO HELPS US ON THE THE AIRLINE RATES AND CHARGES WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS AS WELL SO WE'LL HAVE A PLAN TOGETHER AND THEN BE READY TO TO COLLECT ON THOSE TYPES OF I KNOW VUE FOR JASPER ON SOME OF THEIR IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY HAVE ON THEIR CAT THAT THEY THEY CHARGE YOUR TAXES DO WE HAVE A LIMIT ON TIME HOW FAST THOSE FUNDS HAVE TO BE SPENT DO WE KNOW SO THERE IS NO WE DON'T KNOW OR THERE'S NO LIMIT? I DON'T THINK THERE IS A LIMIT . OKAY.

YOU KNOW SO THERE'S WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK ALL THAT BUT I MEAN WE'LL SPEND IT FASTER THAN WE CAN COLLECT IT. I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT. YEAH, BUT THIS WILL BE A GOOD WAY TO SOME OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS. I THINK WE ALL SEE THE UP SIDE ON THE REVENUE FOR THIS TYPE OF FEE BENEFIT TO CONSUMERS, CAR RENTAL COMPANIES AND FACILITIES AT THE AIRPORT. THE BIGGEST DOWNSIDE IS WE SPENT YOU SPENT CONSIDERABLE MONEY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND THE WHOLE AIRPORT PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO

[00:55:03]

THIS AIRPORT IS NOT KEPT UP WITH COST OF DOING BUSINESS OVER THE LAST 20 OR 30 YEARS.

SO KNOW IT FEELS LIKE IT'S AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE BUT IT'S NEVER EXISTED BEFORE AND IT NEEDS TO BE THERE. THAT'S HOW YOU PAY YOUR WAY. WHAT IS SAVANNAH'S AND YOU KNOW I HAVE A RHINO ON THERE SO I DON'T KNOW I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED THAT BUT LOOK AT MY TWO MOST RECENT WERE BOSTON AND BWI AND THEY'RE SIX AND 575 KEY WEST THINK DIDN'T BOTHER SAY WAS SEVEN I THINK KEY WAS A SEVEN YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT EVERYWHERE YOU GO UNLESS YOU'RE OFF AN AIRPORT AND YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW THEY PROBABLY HAVE A DIFFERENT FEE BUT IF YOU LOOK AT SOME PLACES HAVE MUNICIPAL FEES TACKED ON LIKE BWI HAD PROBABLY FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT FEES NOT JUST CFC. YOU HAD A YOU KNOW, AN AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE FEE.

YOU HAD A PUBLIC SAFETY FEE, YOU HAD YEAH. ALL THESE RECOVERY FEES ON AN ENVIRONMENTAL FEE INTEREST. SO BY THE TIME YOU DO I HAD I HAD ABOUT A MY RENTAL CAR OF THERE I THINK I HAD A 21 OR $22 A DAY SURCHARGE JUST BECAUSE OF THE FEES, YOU KNOW SO WE'RE ADDING SIX I'M NOT DISPUTING THE NEED WAS THE MONEY WILL BE PRODUCTIVELY USED I'M JUST QUESTIONING IF WE'RE A POINT WHERE WE DO SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT MORE HARM THAN GOOD.

YOU GO OUT TO DENVER IF YOU LOOK AT THE TAXES FEES BONDING INTEREST ON ROADS IS OVER 37% IT'S ALMOST 35% IF YOU RENT A CAR AT DENVER. BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WE'RE LOOKING TO BUILD TRAFFIC AND BUILD BUSINESS AT HILTON WE'RE NOT THAT WE'RE NOT THERE YET MUCH IMPROVED OVER IT WAS FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT YEARS AGO BUT CERTAINLY NOT AT THE POINT WHERE WE'RE APPROACHING CAPACITY ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW TERMINAL.

SO THAT'S MY ONLY ISSUE NOT THAT THAT'S NOT NEEDED AND WE'LL CERTAINLY KEEP THAT'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WE LOOK AT WHEN WE WHEN WE WEIGH THESE OPTIONS BUT I DON'T I DON'T THINK THAT BE TOO MUCH I THINK I THINK THE COMPARISON IS TO SEE WHAT SAVANNAH'S DOING.

I KNOW THEY HAVE THE FEE I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS BUT I'M SURE AS WE ALREADY ASK MOST PEOPLE AREN'T LOOKING AT IT, THEY'RE JUST PAYING IT, YOU KNOW, AND IF YOU LOOK AT PARKING FEES IN THAT TO EVERY ONE OF OUR PARKING SPOTS IS A PREMIUM PARKING.

YEAH, BECAUSE YOU'RE WALKING MAYBE 200 FEET FROM YOUR CAR TO THE TERMINAL IF YOU GO YOU DO THAT AT ANY OTHER AIRPORT YOU'RE PAYING $27 A DAY. SO EVERY ONE OF OUR SPOTS IS A PREMIUM SPOT 60 BUCKS A DAY IN NEWARK AS HAS BRIAN DONE A FORECAST.

WHAT KIND OF REVENUE STREAM THIS WILL CREATE? LIKE I SAID, THAT ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE WE NEED SOME INFORMATION FROM THE RENT-A-CAR AGENCIES FIRST SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT THEIR FORECAST FOR AND THEIR HISTORY OF TRANSACTION DAYS ARE BECAUSE IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY OF CHARGING. SO THANKS AND ANY OTHER DISCUSSION THIS NOT ABOUT MOTION FOR YOU OR YOUR VERY FIRST SECOND, SECOND THERE WE GO SINCE WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF OUR DISCUSSION IS THERE ANYONE OPPOSED TO RECOMMENDING TO COUNTY COUNCIL HEARING ON THE ACTION ITEM PASSES? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

[X. CHAIRMAN UPDATE]

[01:00:06]

THE VOTING MUST BE EXTRAORDINARY DROVE THEM ALL AWAY CHEERING BECAUSE I'M A PAINTER BUT OKAY PEOPLE WELL IF YOU NEED HELP ON THAT COMMITTEE THEN JUST I THINK YOU KNOW REACH OUT TO I THINK YOU HAVE WHENEVER HAD SOMETHING FOR THE REST OF US TO REACH OUT BECAUSE ADVOCACY IS A BIG THING I DO IT A LOT ON THE MARINE SIDE THE THING AND I'LL TALK TO JIM'S

[XI. COMMITTEE REPORTS]

ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO BRIAN IF WE COULD ON THAT FINANCIALLY IS A LITTLE EARLIER THAN WHAT WE DO. I KNOW YOU GUYS GOT A LOT GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE YEAR BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WE MEET BUT WE REALLY JUST IT'S MORE OF A NOT A DISCUSSION SESSION.

IT'S MORE OF HEY HERE'S THE BUDGET AND BY THE WAY WE TO GET THIS THROUGH BECAUSE IT'S GOT TO GO TO COUNCIL WE CAN GET A LITTLE EARLIER AND NO TO YOU JOHN YOU DIDN'T HAVE BRIAN BEFORE BUT NOW NOW IN A B WHICH IS AFTER BRIAN. SO WE HAVE BRIAN US BRIAN NOW CAN DO THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T WERE POSSIBLE BEFORE WE ONLY TALKED ABOUT SUCH ONE THING.

I WOULD ASK LESLIE DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES ON THE PASSENGER SERVICE JUST AS THE PASSENGERS LAST WEEKEND OR TO DOING THIS AGAIN NEXT SUMMER AND? ALSO I THINK OUR COMMITTEE WILL BECOME A LOT MORE ACTIVE NEXT SUMMER WHEN THE NEW TERM YEAH YEAH I THINK THAT'S GOING BE THAT'S GOING TO BE A VERY EXCITING THING. RW FACILITY IMPROVEMENT WE KNOW WHAT PROJECT IS MAINLY BEING WORKED ON THERE. BRIAN DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES FROM THE HST IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE? NO, NO NEW ITEMS OC GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS WHICH JIM ANYTHING? YEAH, I'D LIKE TO COMPLIMENT JOHN ON CAPTURING JEFF BRADLEY COMING OFF AN AIRPLANE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET WITH BRADLEY TO HELP US MOVE FORWARD WITH FUNDS FOR THE FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE TERMINAL AND JEFF HAS BEEN A LITTLE ELUSIVE THAT AND JOHN JOHN HIM AT THE AIRPORT AND CORNERED HIM AND THEN I SPOKE TO HIM THE NEXT DAY BRADLEY IS BEHIND US WITH EVERYTHING HE CAN BE SAID BASICALLY NOT A WHOLE LOT IS GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL THE SESSION STARTS AGAIN. YEAH SO BUT BUT HE IS DEFINITELY A SUPPORTER OF OF HILTON HEAD AIRPORT AND HE'S TRYING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO GET US IN FRONT OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE SO YOU COULD MAYBE THINK OF SOMETHING JUST TUESDAY I MET WITH SOME OF THESE AMAZING AND BRIEFED THEM ON THE THE TERMINAL PROJECT AND THEN ABLE TO GIVE THEM A WALK THROUGH THE TERMINAL. SO I THINK THE BIGGEST THING CAME FROM THERE IS THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF SOME OTHER GRANT OPPORTUNITY THAT MAYBE WE HAVEN'T KNOWN ABOUT IT IN THE PAST. SO THEY'RE WORKING US BELIEVE IT OR NOT WITH TSA MIGHT ACTUALLY FIND SOME FUNDS TO DO SOME THINGS, SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE. SO THAT WAS GOOD. THEY'VE GOT A NEW DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTOR I GUESS IN THE CHARLESTON AREA VERY, VERY ENGAGED.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THEM AND THEN THEIR ONE SAMANTHA WHITE WHO'S IN THE BEAUFORT OFFICE WAS THERE AS WELL. SO I THINK WE'VE GOT A PRETTY ENGAGED TEAM SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT WE DO THERE . ANYTHING ELSE RIGHT NOW, SIR? I THINK THAT CONCLUDES OUR DOWN TO MANY REPORTS AND NOW WE'RE BACK TO THE CITIZEN COMMENT DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONE OF THESE DAYS WE WILL HAVE SOMEONE COMMENT I MAY HAVE TO HIRE SOMEONE TO COME IN AND MAKE SOME COMMENTS AND MAKE THIS A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING THE SO WE'LL HAVE AN ADJOURNMENT DOWN TO HOWARD
