COME ON, GUYS. THIS WAS GREAT IDEA. THERE IT IS.

WE GO. I THINK THEY SKIPPED AHEAD, DIDN'T IT? WAS THAT THE NEXT PICTURE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

YOU UPDATED MY PRESENTATION AND . I'M ASSUMING RUSSIA DID THE PRESENTATION REHEARSALS. REHEARSALS ARE GOOD FOLKS. THIS WAS YESTERDAY HAD THE JET BRIDGES ARRIVED YESTERDAY SO PRETTY EXCITING CAME ALL THE WAY FROM UTAH WHICH IS COOL WAS A TOTAL NUMBER OF TRUCKS ON THE NINE THERE'S EIGHT OR NINE TRUCKS THESE ARE THE BIGGEST ONE WITH LONG SECTIONS OF THE BRIDGES. BUT WE ALSO HAD A LOT OF THE THE SUPPORT MATERIAL AND THEN THE THE ROTUNDA AREAS OF THE BRIDGES CAME IN FROM THE OTHER SIDE. SO THESE ARE COMING DOWN THE ROAD TO THE FUEL FARM BY SIGNATURE AND THEN WE ACTUALLY TOOK THEM ONTO THE AIRFIELD AND ACROSS BECAUSE THEY WERE SO BIG THEY COULDN'T MAKE THE OTHER TURNS. SO ONE OF THEM WERE THE LONGEST ONES CLOSE TO 100 FEET. AUTHORITIES SAID THEY HAD THE FLATBEDS THAT EXPAND AND SO TWO OF THOSE THREE TRUCKS WERE SUPER, SUPER LONG AND WERE NOT MADE.

THE OTHER TURNS IS A LITTLE DICEY GETTING OFF A DILLON ROAD ON THE GATEWAY AS WELL MIGHT HAVE TRIMMED A COUPLE OF TREES ON THE WAY IN JUST TOOK SOME LEAVES OFF BUT SO THEY STOPPED AT THE AT THE GATE AND THEN WE HAD THE BOMB SQUAD AND AND LAW ENFORCEMENT DOGS GO THROUGH THEM BECAUSE WE HAD TO CROSS THE AIRFIELD AND, BRING THEM INTO THE THE SECURE AREA.

SO ANYWAY WAS WAS SCREENED AND CLEARED AND THOSE ARE ALL ON STATION NOW BEING INSTALLED THIS WEEK SO IT WOULD A LOT OF ACTIVITY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE TERMINAL THAT YOU WON'T SEE UNLESS UNLESS YOU'RE FLYING IN. SO BUY A TICKET THIS WEEK AND COME IN AND SEE THE ACTIVITY. ALL RIGHT. THERE'S SOME MORE SHOTS OF THE KIND OF WAITING AS AREA OF THE SCREEN BY THE DOGS AND THEN LINING THE TRUCKS UP AND THEN THAT BOTTOM LINE YOU CAN SEE ALL THE ALL THE TRUCKS WAITING FOR THE UNLOADING.

SO A LOT OF DIFFERENT PIECES GOING IN THERE AND THAT IN THE UPPER RIGHT THERE SO HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM THEY DROVE THE FIRST AND SECOND TRUCKS SO IT'S KIND OF COOL WELL FAMILY BUSINESS ALL RIGHT. THIS IS WAS TALKING TO ROGER THERE AND THAT THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT THERE AND HE HE WAS TELLING ME THAT YESTERDAY THEY HAD 16 DIFFERENT TRAINS WORKING INSIDE THE BUILDING ONLY SO THERE'S A LOT GOING ON I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE OUTSIDE LIKE OH THE PROJECT MUST BE COMPLETED AND YOU KNOW NOT A LOT OF ACTIVITY ON THE OUTSIDE BUT ON INSIDE IT IS A IT'S A BUSINESS OF ACTIVITY SO REALLY BUSY YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE ON THAT FIRST PICTURE THAT LARGE PICTURE YOU CAN SEE THE SOFFIT WORK IS COMPLETE IN THE BACK WITH THE LIGHTS IN THERE AS WELL CONCRETE WORK IS BEING FINISHED THERE FOR ONE OF THE BRIDGES WILL BE PLACED IN THAT AND THEN ON THE FAR END I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE ANOTHER PHOTO AS WELL BUT I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE WAY THAT OUTSIDE BUILDING COMES TOGETHER AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. I THINK IT JUST IS A GREAT KIND OF ARCHITECTURAL FEEL.

THEY'RE VERY NON-GOVERNMENT BUILDING JUST KIND OF A RELAXED I THINK IT LOOKS ALMOST A A COUNTRY CLUB KIND OF BUILDING. SO IT'S A IT'S A GREAT, GREAT FEEL.

THERE YOU GO. THAT'S THE END OF THE BUILDING. SO JUST A REALLY, REALLY PRETTY RELAXED SO I WAS REALLY, REALLY HAPPY WITH THE WAY THAT'S COMING TOGETHER.

ALL RIGHT. STEVE'S GOING TO TAKE OVER NOW AND GIVE A PROJECT'S UPDATE AND THEN I THINK I JUMP BACK IN. SO YOU SEE THE SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET THE RIGHT PLACE.

OKAY, SO ALL THE PROJECTS WE GOT GOING ON AND JOHN SAID FIRST OF ALL, WELCOME BACK.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYBODY THIS YEAR WHERE THEY HAD A GOOD HOLIDAY. MY NOTES MAY NOT ALIGN WITH IT BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU FOR AN EXECUTIVE AIRPORT AND THAT IS THE HANGAR SITE WORK SO YOU CAN SEE THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF GRADING AND THERE'S A LOT OF UNDERGROUND SYSTEMS THAT HAVE TO BE PUT IN THERE. SO IF YOU DRIVE BY IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT REALLY DOING ANYTHING BUT THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING UNDERGROUND.

WE'RE WORKING THROUGH A POSSIBLE CHANGE OR IS COMING OUT AND BRENNAN IS DOING A SPECTACULAR JOB BUT I THINK HE TOLD SOMETIME AROUND MARCH WE'RE LOOKING AT CONCRETE PAVEMENT BEING PUT IN OVER THERE SO THAT WILL BEGIN KIND OF THE CONCLUSION OF THE SITE WORK PORTION BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE OKAY THAT'S BACK TO JOHN BACK TO THE TERMINAL RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TERMINAL IS APPROXIMATELY AROUND 87% COMPLETE AT THIS POINT IN TIME

[00:10:03]

NOW THEY'RE WORKING WHERE THE TSA SCREENING LANES GO WHICH THAT'S A HUGE PATCH SO THEY'RE POOR AND THEY'LL START GRINDING AND THEN THEY'LL FINISH UP THE RAMP SPACE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE CONCRETE ON THE APRON THEY'RE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION AROUND THE BRIDGE I THINK YOU SAW THERE'S STILL LANES OF CONCRETE THAT NEED TO BE POURED. SO THEY'RE OUT THERE KIND OF WORKING AT THE SAME TIME WORKING AROUND EACH OTHER ON THE OUTSIDE AND THEN THE LANDSCAPING OUT FRONT THAT'S OF THIS PROJECT. SO IF YOU'VE DRIVEN BY THE TERMINAL YOU'LL SEE THE BLACK EROSION CONTROL THAT'S GOING UP INSIDE OF ALL THOSE AREA WHERE THE LANDSCAPING COME IN.

SO THE LANDSCAPERS ARE OUT THERE DOING THEIR PIECE I HAVE A COUPLE OF UPDATES FOR THE ALPI THE MASTER PLAN THAT WE HAVE GOING ON JOHN AND I AND BRIAN WENT TO ATLANTA AND MET WITH THE FAA TO TALK SOME PROPOSED OPTIONS THAT WE WANT TO PRESENT TO THE COMMUNITY AT THE NEXT LP UPDATE. SO WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO THAT BUT I HOPE TO HAVE A MEETING THE NEXT LP UPDATE COMING SOON. I'LL JUST SLIGHTLY MENTION ST JAMES BAPTIST CHURCH THAT IS OUT THERE. THE AIRPORT IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. OUR PIECE OF THE PROJECT IN DECEMBER IT IS THE TOWN HAS TAKEN OVER AND THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE COUNTY THAT PROJECT GET THE CHURCH MOVED PURCHASED THE PROPERTY REIMBURSEMENTS ALL THAT OTHER STUFF.

SO THE AIRPORT'S OUT OF THAT BUSINESS IN THE TOWN AND THE COUNTY ARE IN THAT BUSINESS NOW AIRFIELD DRAINAGE THIS WAS THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME AND AS A REFRESHER ON THREE YEARS AGO JOHN I THINK THE INSPECTION AND THE DRAINAGE GRATES IF YOU ALL REMEMBER THEY COULD NOT CARRY A TRUCK OR AN AIRCRAFT AND BECAUSE WE RECLASSIFIED TO THE CLASS THREE THEY NOW HAVE TO BE AIRCRAFT RATED GRADES THAT PROJECT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME. WE'RE REALLY CLOSE TO THE POINT OF ACTUALLY HAVING THEM OUT THERE AND STARTING TO MOVE DIRT AND REPLACE THE DRAINAGE INLETS ,THE CEMENT INLETS AND PUT THE NEW GRATES IN THOSE HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND IT'S ABOUT A 10 TO 12 WEEK MANUFACTURE TIME.

SO WE'RE ABOUT TEN WEEKS AWAY FROM ACTUAL EQUIPMENT OUT THERE.

BUT THEN IT'S GOING TO GO FAST ONCE WE GET ALL THE PIECES ON THE PROPERTY.

SO TO ME I'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR A LONG TIME THAT'S A THAT'S A MAJOR STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IF YOU RECALL LAST YEAR THE LATTER HALF OF THE YEAR WE PUT A NEW RUNWAY IN IT BEFORE THAT'S DONE THERE'S A COUPLE OF LITTLE TIDY UP THINGS, A LITTLE GOOD OF PAINT HERE AND THERE BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH COMPLETED.

NEXT STEP FOR BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE ON OF THE HANGARS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO FUND IS THE PARTIAL PARALLEL TAXIWAY WHICH AS A PILOT MYSELF THAT'S HUGE OVER THERE TO BE ABLE TO GET FURTHER DOWN AND TAKE AWAY THE BULK OF THE BACK TAXIING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO SO A NOTICE TO PROCEED THAT'S BEEN GIVEN BY OUR OUR CONSULTANTS FOR THE SURVEYING PIECE THE GEOTECHNICAL IS ALL THAT PERMITTING STUFF THAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GET IN THE DESIGN AND BIDDING OF THE ACTUAL PARTIAL PARALLEL TAKES AWAY SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS . THAT'S GOING THE LAST PIECE I KNOW IF YOU FLY IN AND OUT OF AIR BUT YOU KNOW THE AIR IS IN BECAUSE WE HAD TO MOVE IT SO IT'S NOT EVEN HOOKED UP AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT RELOCATION TO GET THE NEW AIR SYSTEM RELOCATED OUT OF THE WAY OF WHERE THE HANGARS ARE GOING UP. SO AND THAT'S THE END OF WHAT I GOT FOR THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. SO AGAIN QUESTION YEAH, HOW WE GOT HERE WE HAVE THE ON THE AIR TERMINAL PROJECT HOW TIMELINE I KNOW THE BIG THING IS LOOKING FOR LOOKING AT HERITAGE DO WE THINK WE WILL BE COMPLETE OR DO WE NOT THINK IT ODDLY ENOUGH TODAY WE HAVE OUR BIWEEKLY MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR S AND FORD AND THAT'S AT 1:00 TODAY. HE ALWAYS GIVES US A TIMELINE THE LAST ONE WE GAVE THE CONCEPTUAL AND FINAL COMPLETION WAS RIGHT UP AGAINST THE WINDOW OF WHEN HERITAGE STARTS.

SO I HAVE A BETTER ANSWER FOR YOU BUT THAT DATE IS ALWAYS IN FLUX BASED ON HOW MUCH WORK THEY GET DONE. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF SUBCONTRACTORS IN

[00:15:04]

I THINK EVERYTHING IS STILL ON TRACK BUT THAT'S MY GUESSTIMATE.

IT APPEARS TO ME THAT EVERYTHING'S TRACK TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO HERE IT'S OKAY AND THEN YEAH I WAS WAITING TO SEE WAS TSA ALSO INVOLVED? I THE SAME THERE YOU ARE YES OKAY AND THEN ON THE RW SO BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GET QUESTIONS ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF US ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE BROAD FOR THE CONCRETE THE ASPHALT ASPHALT WILL ALL BE IN THERE WITH THE CONCRETE SECTION IS UP TO WHERE THE TI HANGARS WOULD BE OR IS THAT ALL BEING DONE AS WELL AND IT'S REALLY TO PAD KNOW WHAT WHAT WHAT ALL IS IN THE ASPHALT AND CONCRETE I DON'T KNOW THERE'S I THINK IT'S JUST BASKETBALL YEAH IT'S ASPHALT WE'RE GOING TO ASPHALT OR GOING TO ASPHALT RIGHT UP TO THE TO THE HANGAR DOORS. OKAY SO THAT'LL ALL BE DONE OTHER THAN LITERALLY THE PAD LITERALLY PUT THE PAD AND AND STRUCTURE ON IT FOR THAT OKAY THAT'S THAT WAY WHEN WE GET THE QUESTIONS WE ALL KNOW THE HANGAR FUNDING INCLUDES PAD WORK.

YES. YEAH. NO AND THE PADS AREN'T IN THE CURRENT RIGHT YOU KNOW AND THAT STANDS OUT TO YOU AND I KNOW IT'S A WHILE BUT THE SOUTH CAROLINA COMMISSION PIECE OF THE GRANT THAT GRANT ALLOWS TO GET MONEY FOR EVERYTHING UP TO THE SURFACE RIGHT AND THE PAD IS CONSIDERED THE SURFACE SO THEY THAT GRANT MONEY CAN BE USED FOR PAD AND STRUCTURE BUT EVERYTHING BELOW IT IS WHAT IT CAN BE SO THAT'S WHY IT'S THAT THAT'S FINE AND THEN I'LL GO AHEAD. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY SO IS IT MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS NO FUNDING FOR THE HANGARS THEMSELVES JUST THE GROUNDWORK? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON. WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT ALL AT ONCE RATHER THAN THERE'S SOME MONEY TO DO SOME THINGS BUT WE'RE BETTER OFF DOING IT ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE IT BE A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE JUST LIKE WE'RE REALIZING ON THE DH YOU KNOW DOING PHASE ONE HAD WE BEEN ABLE TO DO ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER BUT WE JUST HAVE THE MONEY DUE TO COVID. HAVE YOU HAD ANY DISCUSSIONS ON THE AIR PARKING LOT ISSUE PARKING CARS ROOM SPACE FOR TENANTS? WAS THERE A PROBLEM? NO, THERE HASN'T BEEN A PROBLEM THAT I'M WELL THERE IS A PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE COMING IN ON THE MAIN PARKING LOT. SOMETIMES WE GET A LITTLE FOR LITTLE FOR PARKING OR FOR APRON FOR PARKING. I DON'T THINK WE'VE REALLY WE'VE IT'S FOR A LOT OF TIMES AND BRENNAN DOES A GOOD JOB SEPARATING CARS OUT AND MAKING SURE SPOTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT THAT HASN'T BEEN A HUGE ISSUE. SPEAKING OF THAT, THERE WAS A TIME SOMETIME LAST YEAR WHEN YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT HAVING A PAY LOT IN THERE AND SO IT'S BEEN A PAY A LOT FOR IS IT THAT'S IN EFFECT AND THERE'S SIGNAGE UP TO ABOUT PAYMENTS THAT WE CHARGE FOR PEOPLE THE CAR SITUATION PEOPLE DO HAVE CARS THERE AND WE DO CHARGE THEM FOR IT NOW DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I CAN'T SEE THEM ONLINE DO DOES DAVID HAVE A QUESTION OR THANK NO I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. NO, NO I, DON'T.

OKAY. PERFECT. IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY THANKS. BACK TO JOHN OR DO NO ACTIVITY TO KEEP EVERYBODY AWAKE AND ENGAGED SO IF EVERYBODY JUST STARES AT ME THE WHOLE TIME I'M A SLEEPER.

SO THIS IS OUR 2026 PLAN. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT. ALL RIGHT.

[00:25:04]

IT'S A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYBODY SO YEAH, VERY COOL. QUICK UPDATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON. THERE'S JUST A REAL THUMBNAIL OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.

SUBMITTED A GRANT APPLICATION YESTERDAY FOR THE IJA WHICH USED TO BE THE BILL RENAMED BUT THIS IS THE FINAL YEAR OF THAT PROGRAM. THIS IS THE BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR PROGRAM THAT'S YOU KNOW, FOR TERMINALS AND TOWERS. WAS ABOUT A HUNDRED MILLION SET ASIDE FOR OUR SIZE AIRPORT AND IT WAS SENT THAT GRANT APPLICATION AND YESTERDAY WE'VE GOT MORE TO DO. THERE'S MORE THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO AFTER AND THESE ARE SPECIFICALLY AIMED PHASE TWO OF THE TERMINAL PROJECT SO WE CAN GET THAT THING MOVING ALONG . THAT BUILDING CAN FUNCTION AS A AS A FULL SYSTEM.

YOU PROBABLY SAW THE PRESS RELEASE GO OUT BY UNITED AIRLINES THEIR FREQUENCIES TO CHICAGO. THAT'S A BIG DEAL AND I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY SOME MORE OF THAT TO AIRLINES ARE DEFINITELY EXPRESSING THEIR EXCITEMENT THE OPENING OF THE NEW TERMINAL. SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD NEXT FEW YEARS TO SEE O TIME'S RUNNING OUT TO SAY OKAY AND THEN THE LAST ONE STEVE TOUCHED ON THIS TOO BUT WE TRAVEL UP TO ATLANTA ON THE 18TH OR 18TH I THINK IT WAS OF DECEMBER AND HAD A CHANCE TO MEET WITH THE RADIO TEAM, EVERYBODY FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOLKS, THE PLANNERS ALL THE WAY UP TO THE RADIO MANAGER SAT IN ON THE MEETING WITH US AND WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW OF THE IDEAS WE'VE GOT FOR MASTER PLAN. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE KIND OF GOING THROUGH THAT AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH THAT THEN WE'LL GET BACK TOGETHER BEFORE WE YOU KNOW, GET MORE UPDATES TO YOU. THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

THERE'S A LOT OF ZEROS WE'RE DEALING WITH. SO WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF INTERNAL COORDINATION TO DO AND THINGS TO TALK ABOUT BEFORE WE PRESENT OPTIONS TO YOU AND TO THE STAKEHOLDERS COMMITTEE. BUT BUT THAT'S COMING AND HAS SOME REALLY FRUITFUL WITH THEM IN ATLANTA SO THEY DIDN'T KICK US OUT SO WAS THE FIRST GOOD SIGN THAT THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD? I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

401 LOOK AT THAT. AS FOR TOM AND RICH, WE DID WIN AGAIN.

FUN GAME. I GOT TO GO TO THE GAME WITH MY YOUNGEST AND MY SECOND YOUNGEST IS THE SECOND CLASS OF NAVY. SO VERY EXCITING TO GO THERE AND HAD A MINI REUNION.

A BUNCH OF MY CLASSMATES WERE THERE TOO SO ANYWAY GOOD TIME IT WAS AT THE RAVENS STADIUM WHICH WAS KIND OF A AS A BILLS FAN BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A VICTORY THERE.

SO EXCITING AND TO SEE THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF TROPHY STAYING IN ANNAPOLIS.

SO I THINK NOW ALL I HAVE. ALL RIGHT AND NOW I'M GONNA TURN OVER TO BRIAN AND I'LL GET YOU TEED UP HERE. BRIAN IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE FINANCIAL UPDATE AND I THINK YOU CAN EITHER ARROW THROUGH THE LINKS THROUGH THE ARROWS WORK.

YEP, WORK SO YOU CAN ARROW RIGHT THROUGH THAT THING. IT'S ALL YOURS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING OR MORNING.

I'M GOING TO BE PRESENTING THE FIRST QUARTER FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 AS IT'S GOING TO BE COMPARED TO. THANKS AGAIN RICH COMPARED TO LAST FISCAL YEAR FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD JULY 1ST THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH THE FIRST LINE ITEM TOWN OF HILTON HAD REVENUES THAT'S RELATED TO OUR EIGHT TAX REIMBURSEMENTS AND WE'VE HAD AN INCREASE BECAUSE WE'VE HAD MORE REIMBURSEMENTS THUS FOR RAMP FEES WE HAVE AN INCREASE OF AROUND $128,000 THAT'S RELATED TO OUR AIRLINE RECOVERY AND WE HAVE INCREASED FEES THIS FISCAL YEAR COMPARED TO LAST FISCAL YEAR PARKING TAXI LIMO FEES THOSE WENT DOWN THAT'S MAINLY DUE TO OUR AUTOMATIC GATE SYSTEM NOT BEING OPERATIONAL YET. THAT'S REALLY ONCE THAT GETS OPERATIONAL GOING TO SEE THAT NUMBER EXPLODE PRETTY WELL THERE AND IT SHOULD LOOK REALLY WELL FIREFIGHTING FEES THAT INCREASE BASICALLY DUE TO INCREASE IN CLAIMANTS SLIGHT INCREASE SECURITY FEES AIRLINES THAT INCREASE IS ALSO DUE TO THE INCREASED FRUIT COSTS

[00:30:03]

SO YOU WERE SAYING IN 2024 THAT'S WHEN THAT THAT DOUBLE 2024 NUMBER IS HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE. EXACTLY. YEAH.

OKAY. WE'RE THIS NEXT ONE I LIKE IT SINCE DRIFTS INTEREST INCOME WHICH WE HAVEN'T BEEN RECEIVING IN THE PAST COUNTY FINANCE IS NOW DOING A CALCULATION OF OUR EQUITY AND PULLED TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF INTEREST WE SHOULD BE RECEIVING.

SO JUST THE FIRST QUARTER AROUND $151,000 SO WE COULD EXPECT PROBABLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD $200,000. BUT IN THE A YEAR THAT WE NEVER USED TO RECEIVE BEFORE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS COUNTY I'VE SPOKE WITH THE COUNTY FINANCE DIRECTOR. WE'RE HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK RETROACTIVELY AND GET SOME OF THE MONEY THAT WE WERE COLLECTING INTEREST INCOME WELL I HOPE THAT'S STILL UP IN THE AIR. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THAT WOULD BE IF ANYTHING BUT I'M GOING TO PURSUE THAT BECAUSE THAT COULD BE COULD BE A PRETTY MATERIAL NUMBER 100 THAT ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON REVENUE ON THE EXPENSE SIDE PAYROLL THERE A SLIGHT DECREASE I MEAN INCREASE THAT WAS DUE TO THE ADDITION OF TWO NEW EMPLOYEES UTILITIES THAT APPEARS TO HAVE GONE DOWN AND IT DID BACK IN FISCAL YEAR 2025 OR OR UTILITIES WERE UP MAINLY BECAUSE OUR LIGHTING CONTROL PANEL THAT CONTROLS THE THE LIGHTING FOR THE RUNWAY AND THE TAXIWAY THAT WENT DOWN SO THEY WERE AUTOMATED.

THEY WEREN'T TURNING AND TURNING THEM OFF. THEY SHOULD THEY HAD TO BE ON CONSISTENTLY AND THAT INCREASED OUR UTILITY BILLS QUITE A BIT. WE ALSO DID HAVE A WATER LEAK THAT ALSO INCREASED THAT SO THAT'S WHY THE REPAIRS THAT'S WHAT THAT DECREASE IS SHOWING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS THAT'S A WAS BASICALLY DUE TO INSTALLATION OF ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE HANGERS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONSULTING FEES HAVE BEEN HAVE BEEN DOWN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS THIS FISCAL YEAR COMPARED TO LAST FISCAL YEAR IT ALL EVENED OUT BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. IT'S NOT GOING TO STAY THAT WAY . VEHICLE MAINTENANCE THAT'S A TIMING ISSUE WITH ONE OR THEY'RE PREVENTATIVE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON THEIR EQUIPMENT.

THAT NUMBER SHOULD EVEN OUT ONCE WE MOVE ON THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR, FISCAL YEAR 25 WILL CATCH UP. LET'S SEE. THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT ONE WAS CAPITAL EQUIPMENT. WE HAVEN'T PURCHASING AS MUCH THIS FISCAL YEAR FOR THE FIRST QUARTER COMPARED TO LAST FISCAL YEAR. THE ITEMS THAT WE DID PURCHASE INCLUDE GATE MOTORS, OUR TYPE BAGS AND A RUNWAY LIGHT PAINTING MACHINE THUS FAR FOR THE FIRST QUARTER THIS FISCAL YEAR, ANY QUESTIONS ON THE EXPENSE SIDE ON THE PAYROLL ARE ALL YOUR POSITIONS FILLED NOW? NO, NO, NO. HIRING PEOPLE IS IS ON HILTON HEAD IS I THINK IS AWARE THAT IT'S HARD TO GET QUALITY PEOPLE WE'VE HAD THE POSITIONS WHERE I'M WATCHING THEM AND WE'RE WILL FILL THEM AND THEN WE'LL HAVE SOMEBODY GET AN OFFER.

WE HAD ONE THAT GOT AN OFFER TO GO TO GULFSTREAM AND BE A MECHANIC AT GULFSTREAM WHERE OBVIOUSLY GULFSTREAM IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO PAY YOU A LOT THAN THAN WE CAN HERE FOR THE WORK HE WAS DOING SO. SO IT'S A CONSTANT BATTLE WITH US AND HIRING PEOPLE. WE'RE HIRE PEOPLE WE GET THERE AND THEN WE'LL LOSE PEOPLE AND A MYRIAD OF REASONS BUT THAT'S ALWAYS JUST GOING TO BE A UP AND DOWN WE ARE FOR FY SEVEN AND HAVE A SAFETY TEAM THAT WE ARE HOUSING UP UNDERNEATH THIS SECURITY AND THOSE POSITIONS

[00:35:06]

I WISH ALL OF THEM WERE FILLED AND I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY IT BUT I MEAN IT'S A CONSTANT BATTLE BEFORE YOU ARE SHORT OF POSITIONS MORE THAN YOU ARE IN 2025.

RIGHT AND THE PROBLEM IS WE BUDGET IN THE WE BUDGET THE SALARY THAT SO SOMETIMES IT SHOWS UP ON THE EXPENSE THAT WE PAID MORE OR WE I HAVEN'T USED ALL THE SALARY MONEY SO AND HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO WE HAVE THE HST ROUGHLY OH SO YOU HAD TO SPLIT IT UP AND MAKE ME DO MATH . WELL YOU KNOW I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.

I DON'T THINK IT'S QUESTION'S EVER BEEN ASKED MORE THAN THAT. YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE 22.

YES. SO THAT MAKES 27. OKAY.

OKAY. SO AROUND 22 YOU HAVE YES. FROM AN ACCOUNTING STANDPOINT THIRD LINE FROM THE BOTTOM CAPITAL EQUIPMENT. SO CAPITAL THAT WE'RE EXPENSING OR DEPRECIATING OR AT THE NEXT THAT'S WHAT I GUESS. YEAH.

BECAUSE IT'S NOT TREATED LIKE IT'S NOT TREATED LIKE WE WOULD ON OUR PRIVATE SIDE.

I KEEP GOING AND FORTH BUT I WILL LEAVE IT IN THERE BUT I LIKE LEAVING IT IN THERE BECAUSE IT BRINGS UP THE DISCUSSION WHAT WE PURCHASED AND THEN I BACK IT OUT ON THIS SLIDE HERE INCLUDING CAPITAL EQUIPMENT WE SHOW AN INCREASE FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF THIS FISCAL YEAR COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER LAST FISCAL YEAR OF $370,000.

WHEN YOU BACK OUT TO CAPITAL PORTION OF THAT CAPITAL EXPENSE NOT OPERATIONAL EXPENSE, WE'RE SHUFFLING AROUND THE $300,000 ADJUSTED NET INCOME INCREASE. SO REALLY FOR OUR INCOME EXPENSE STATEMENT I GO WITH THE $295,000 INCREASE THERE AND DO YOU WROTE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR EXTRA HST? OKAY. I HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION.

CAN YOU HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION? SO THIS PACKET HAD YOU KNOW THE PANELS AND THINGS LIKE THAT BUT THERE'S NO SHEET IS THAT SOMETHING WE SEE FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE I KNOW THIS SHOWS OUR OPERATING RESULTS WHICH IS GREAT PERFORMANCE BUT WE'RE NOT SEEING THE OVERALL FINANCIALS. I COULD WORK PREPARING QUARTERLY BALANCE SHEETS.

I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT THAT. I'LL DRIVE HERE.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SEE AT LEAST A QUARTERLY BASIS BECAUSE LIKE I SAID THIS THIS SHOWS THINGS ARE GOING WELL AT BOTH AIRPORTS BUT IT'S YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT SEEING THE OVERALL POSITION. WE SEE PERFORMANCE ON I WILL ATTEMPT TO WORK ON THOSE.

I DON'T THINK ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE OR BELIEVE IT OR NOT AUTOMATICALLY GENERATES BUT IT WILL GENERATE WHAT I NEED TO CREATE ONE AND I THINK I CAN DO THAT REALLY DOESN'T GENERATE ONE TO REPORT LIKE THAT. NO IT'S NOT PRETTY LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY IT'S NOT TRUE.

FOR INSTANCE THESE THAT I SHOW YOU THESE ARE CUSTOMER FINANCIALS THAT I PUT TOGETHER VIA EXCEL I LOAD INTO I LOAD THEM TO LOAD OUT RAW DATA FROM ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND WE ARE V LOOK UPS LOOKING GEL NUMBERS AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF IT THIS BUT I I CREATED THIS SPREADSHEET THIS IS NOT SOMETHING IN OUR SYSTEM JUST JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK YOU SPEND TO PUT THAT PANEL TOGETHER? IF I WAS TO PUT IT TOGETHER MANUALLY, IT PROBABLY WOULD TAKE CLOSE TO HONESTLY FOUR DAYS, THREE DAYS, FOUR DAYS GOT BECAUSE I HAVE AN AUTOMATED WHERE I DO SLOW LOAD IN A RAW REPORT WITH ALL THE GOALS AND IT AUTOMATICALLY FLOWS INTO THIS I DO HAVE TO CHECK IT FROM TIME TO TIME.

THERE ARE LITTLE GLITCHES THE LOT THAT I HAVE TO FIX BUT I COULD RUN ONE OF THESE PROBABLY TAKE ME ABOUT MINUTES. OKAY. SO IT TOOK YOU TO DO THE ORIGINAL? IT TOOK ABOUT FOUR DAYS TO PUT IT TOGETHER.

YEAH. OKAY. BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE THAT TO DUMP THAT DATA OVER AND THAT MAY BE SOMETHING WE NEED BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE FOUR DAYS EVERY TIME TO PRESENT IT TO US NOW IT WAS THE ONE TIME YEAH OKAY YEAH BECAUSE A BALANCE SHEET WOULD BE HELPFUL SEE WHERE WE'RE JUST ESTIMATING ON THE INTEREST THAT WE GET ON EACH I GOT AN IDEA IN MY HEAD ABOUT WHAT WHAT WE'RE SITTING ON CASH THERE RIGHT. YOU KNOW I WOULD SEE ALL THE RESERVES AND YOU KNOW LONG TERM LIABILITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT DEBT SERVICE SO THAT WOULD BE RIGHT YEAH.

GIVE US A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE LARGER PICTURE BUT I I'M SURPRISED AND NOT SURPRISED THAT IN DEEPER COUNTS YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THE SIGNIFICANTLY BUT THANK YOU YOU HAVE TO SPEAK UP A LITTLE BIT DAVID. WE CAN HARDLY HEAR YOU. OH, I'VE SAID I'M SURPRISED BUT NOT SURPRISED THAT IN COUNTY YOU JUST CAN'T QUICKLY OUT A BALANCE SHEET AND YOU HAVE TO

[00:40:01]

AND THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT I COULD DO IT SIMILAR TO HOW I CREATED THIS.

YEAH IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD. OKAY THAT WOULD BE GREAT THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

VERY HELPFUL TO US TOO. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS EACH X2 THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY YOU'LL SEE THERE INCREASE FOR SALES FOR GAS AND JET FUEL PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING RAMP FEES INCREASED PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. I MEAN COMPARED TO LAST QUARTER WE HAVE A $25,000 INCREASE COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER FOR FY 25 COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER FOR F Y 26.

THE ONE THING I DO LIKE THAT I SEE IS WE GOT AN INTEREST INCOME FOR OUR RW NO AS WELL SO THAT COULD BE FROM $45,000 BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR WHICH WE CAN ALWAYS IT.

I'M ALSO GOING TO TRY TO GO BACK RETROACTIVELY WITH THAT AS WELL.

OKAY. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE REVENUE SIDE WHAT THE ONLY THING IS ON THE PARKING FEES WE DRAW UP QUITE A BIT WHAT WAS A WE HAVE SOME TYPE OF CHANGE OVER WE WERE WONDERING WELL THAT'S A PARKING IN I THINK THAT ALLUDES BACK TO HOWARD THE PARKING LOT FEES THAT'S WHAT THAT IS AND THEY GO UP AND THEY GO DOWN BASED ON THE CARS THEY COME IN AND THEY THEY'LL PAY FOR SIX MONTHS AND THEN THEY COME GET THEIR CAR AND THEY MAY NOT COME BACK FOR TWO OR THREE MONTHS. THEY MAY NOT COME BACK DURING THIS QUARTER IN THIS QUARTER IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE IT'S JULY TO SEPTEMBER SO FLYING IS ABUNDANT. SO THE PARKING LOT IS FULL AND THEN IT KIND OF SHRINKS BACK DOWN AT THE END OF THE DAY, END OF THE YEAR IT ALL KIND OF FLOWS OUT AND EQUALS.

WE'RE PRETTY SEASONAL WITH THAT PIECE NO YEAH SO MY FOR THE A LOT OF YOU ARE SEPTEMBER AND THE THAT ARE FOR SOME SEPTEMBER RIGHT YEAH SO JUST LAST MONTH I DID ALMOST 2004 OKAY WHERE EVERY NOVEMBER DECEMBER THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING OKAY AWESOME THANK YOU TO THAT POINT THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS FIRST QUARTER REPORTS I ALMOST ERROR ON THE ON NOT DOING THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT VERY REFLECTIVE YOU ONLY THREE MONTHS OF THE YEAR THEY ARE GOOD TO DO BUT THERE'S TWO SIDES OF THEM SOMETIMES THEY CAN SKEW THINGS BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF BOOKINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT ONCE YOU GO MORE THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR YOU GET A MORE ACCURATE PICTURE OF ACTUALLY WHAT'S GOING ON TIMING ISSUES RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BUT AT LEAST AT LEAST WE'RE COMPARING IT THE SAME TIME SO WE'VE GOT AT LEAST SOMETHING TO JUDGE WHERE WE'RE MOVING YEAH. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO MENTION WITH THIS IS THE HANGAR RENTALS. SEE THERE'S THE INCREASE THERE.

THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE RAISING VIEW THE CPI EACH EACH YEAR NOW INSTEAD OF I THINK IT WAS BEFORE THAT WE WEREN'T DOING THAT YEAH WE STARTED THAT JULY 1ST YEAH SO JULY TO SEPTEMBER THERE WAS AN INCREASE AND YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING ONCE IT GETS STRAIGHTENED OUT YOU'LL SEE A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE WITH PAYCHECKS DAY FOR 400 RENTALS AS WELL.

WERE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THE REVENUE SIDE FOR RW JUST TO COMMENT IS WHAT THIS SHOWS TO ME IS HOW MUCH THEY ARE W IS STILL FUEL DRIVEN WHICH IS TYPICAL AN AIRPORT LIKE THIS BUT CHRIS IT REINFORCES WHY THE HANGAR DEVELOPMENT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE LONGER TERM DIVERSIFICATION OF THE AIRPORT. SO THAT NEEDS TO BE A TALKING POINT AT SOME POINT YOU CAN'T JUST SURVIVE ON FUEL ALONE. THAT'S IT ONE NEXT SLIDE PAYROLL WENT DOWN FOR THE FIRST QUARTER BY 11,000 THAT WAS DUE TO AN OPEN POSITION ON THAT WASN'T FILLED I'M MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS FOR ONE OF THE HANGAR REPLACEMENT OF LED LIGHTING THAT'S WHY THAT INCREASED INCREASED CAPITAL EQUIPMENT WE HAVE NOT FOR THE FIRST QUARTER FOR FY 26 THERE WERE NO CAPITAL EQUIPMENT PURCHASES. I THINK WE'RE KIND OF SLOWING ON THAT FOR NOW. JUST DO THAT THAT LAST YEAR WE WERE PURCHASING THINGS WE NEEDED THAT'S KIND OF SLOWING DOWN WHICH WAS NICE SITE DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE HANGARS. AND ONE THING I WANT TO EXPLAIN WITH THIS IS THERE HAS BEEN

[00:45:06]

ANY QUESTIONS ON THE EXPENSE SIDE? ALL RIGHT.

SO AT THE END OF THE DAY PRIOR GETTING RID OF THE CAPITAL EQUIPMENT LINE ITEM WE GOT $66,000 INCREASE WHEN YOU ACCOUNT FOR THE CAPITAL EQUIPMENT WE SHOWED $23,000 INCREASE WHEN YOU COMPARE BOTH . SO WE'RE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE BUT I THINK ON BOTH PAYCHECKS THE ENTIRE W ANY QUESTIONS OR SO ONE MORE QUESTION IS THAT IS THAT REAL SITTING SOMEWHERE OR IS THAT COUNTING MONEY ON PAPER IS OUR WE HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT THE MONEY GOES IN IT GOES RIGHT OUT IT GOES IN AND IT GOES RIGHT OUT EACH SO IT'S ON PAPER SOMEWHERE BUT IT IS OUR MONEY I GUESS IS THE BEST ANSWER. YEAH THE THE BIG THING THAT'S WHAT THE BALANCE SHEET WOULD SHOW US IS JUST HERE'S HOW MUCH CASH WE HAVE WHAT YOU SHOW.

YEAH. AND WHAT WE HAVE LEFT ON PAYABLES DO FOR LONG TERM SHORT TERM PAYABLES OR ANY WE DON'T HAVE ANY DEBT TECHNICALLY BECAUSE ANY OF THE DEBT WE WOULD REALLY HAVE IS ON THE GRANT SIDE BUT THE GRANTS ARE EQUAL TO WHAT THE DEBT OWED SO IT PAYS ITSELF THE BALANCE. I THINK WE REALLY HAVE A NICE PIECE TO THIS PICTURE.

YEAH THE BALANCE SHEET IS A BIG A BIGGER YEAH I'LL START CREATING HOPEFULLY I CAN HAVE IT IN MARSHALL PROBABLY DUE TO DECEMBER FINANCIALS YEAH AND I REALLY ATTEMPT TO HAVE A FOREVER OKAY THAT'LL BE AWESOME . YEAH THAT'LL BE A BIG THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION.

THANKS. BEFORE YOU GO BRIAN, I'D LIKE TO SAY NICE JOB.

THANK YOU VERY. WELL DONE. AND CONGRATULATIONS TO JON AND TO STEVE BECAUSE AS CHRIS WILL REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST BUDGET MEETING SOME YEARS AGO JON OPERATING THE BUSINESS OF RUNNING THE AIRPORTS WITHOUT A LOT OF CURRENT FINANCIAL DATA THAT HE USE AND COMPARED TO WHAT WAS AVAILABLE TO JON WHEN HE WHEN HE FIRST CAME HERE AND TO YOUR PRESENTATION JUST NOW IS JUST A VAST VAST DIFFERENCE GOOD INFORMATION GOOD TO KNOW AND YOU CAN RUN A BUSINESS WITH THIS SO CONGRATULATIONS JON. WE'VE COME A LONG WAY COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE OH LOOK DON'T YOU FEEL BETTER NOW JON? THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I MEAN, I APPRECIATE BEING IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

I WILL TELL YOU FINANCIALS ARE CAN MAKE YOU REALLY HAPPY OR A VERY SAD PANDA SOMETIMES I'M PANDA WHEN I LOOK AT TRYING TO MAKE THAT. THANKS, BRIAN.

THANK YOU LIKE I TELL BRIAN AND HIS TEAM WE'VE GOT A TEAM OF THREE FINANCE FOLKS AT THE AIRPORT WHICH IS ONE OF OUR BIGGER TEAMS AT THE AIRPORT. BUT I TELL THEM ALL THE TIME THE AIRPORT LITERALLY FLOATS ON A SEA OF FINANCE EVERYTHING THAT WE IS RELATED TO FINANCE, EVERY SINGLE QUESTION WE HAVE THAT WE RECEIVE HAS A FINANCE COMPONENT TO IT.

SO HAVING BRIAN THERE IS HUGE AND HIS TEAM'S DOING A GREAT JOB OF SUPPORTING HIM.

BUT WITH ALL THE THE MULTITUDES OF GRANTS WE MANAGE AND THE DIFFERENT SOURCES AND THE DIFFERENT RULES AND THE DIFFERENT REPORTING FOR EACH OF THOSE THOSE ARE ALL HIT AND BRIAN'S DESK IS ALL USED TO KIND OF COME THROUGH ME NOW THEY'RE COMING TO ME FOR REVIEW AND WHICH IS A WELCOME CHANGE. SO BRIAN IS A HE'S A KEY PLAYER SO WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM.

THANKS. I THINK THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT. WIRE SO STEVE, DID YOU STEAL THE AGENDA I DON'T KNOW. CHRIS WHO ARE WE? WE'RE GOING TO BE ON UNFINISHED BUT I DON'T THINK DO WE HAVE ANY UNFINISHED BUSINESS WE ARE WE'RE PRETTY EFFICIENT BOARD WE USUALLY DON'T ANY UNFINISHED BUSINESS WE GET IT FINISHED AT THE TIME IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

SO I HAVE SUBMITTED A 23RD OF DECEMBER I SUBMITTED THE PROJECT THROUGH THE FAA PORTAL SO THOSE SHOULD ALL BE ELIMINATED AND THEN ONCE THE FAA REVIEWS EVERYTHING THEY'LL CANCEL THE NOTAM ON THE THREE AND THAT'S STILL THERE THAT BE CANCELED SO WE'LL BE IN THE CLEAR. THIS GRANT IS TO FUND JUST TO WE PAY THE INVOICES THIS IS TO REIMBURSE FOR THAT FOR THOSE EXPENSES AND THOSE INVOICES BRIAN.

SO THIS THIS IS BASED A KIND OF WORST CASE SCENARIO BUT WE'LL LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE WE'RE THINKING ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE EXPENSIVE. MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW.

A LOT OF MONEY WHEN YOU ACCEPT THE GRANT AND THE COUNTY'S VERY LAID OUT THE MONEY TO PREPAY FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE EXPECTING YOUR GRANT FOR IF THERE'S AN EXCESS OF GRANT OVER ACTUAL EXPENDITURE, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE EXCESS GRANT FUNDS? IT GOES BACK TO THE AGENCY.

[X. CHAIRMAN UPDATE]

[XI. COMMITTEE REPORTS]

AND I ASSUME THAT'S WHERE THE AMBASSADORS ARE GOING TO BE AND I DID ASK FOR SOME SHELVING TO BE PUT IN THERE BECAUSE THE AMBASSADORS DEFAULT HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH THE LOST AND FOUND OF AIRPORT ITEMS THAT ARE LOST AND FILM THE SIGNIFICANT ONES THAT ARE IDS AND MONEY THEY GO LAW ENFORCEMENT BUT EVERYTHING ELSE THAT KIND OF GOT THROWN OUR LITTLE PODIUM SO I WOULD

[01:00:03]

WE HAVEN'T HAVE WE SCHEDULED THAT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. OKAY.

WE NEED TO GET GET ON THE SCHEDULE, BRIAN, TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

YEAH. YEAH. THE DEADLINE IS A VERY CLEAR REQUIREMENT FOR YOU TO SUBMIT THEM TO ACCOUNT FOR COUNCIL TO THREE CITIES.

OKAY. SO WE NEED TO GET A DATE IN THERE JUST TO KIND OF REVIEW IT IF WE CAN KIND OF LIKE GO BACK TO OUR BASICALLY TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST ONE THAT WORKS FOR THE BUDGET. YEAH MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO GET ALL WORKS OR YOU KNOW SEVERAL MONTHS SIX MONTHS AND YOU CAN PUT THIS TOGETHER IF YOU'RE RUN OUT OF MONEY IN MARCH. YEAH OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WELL LET'S JUST TRY TO GET A DATE ON SO WE CAN WELL, WE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR YOU KNOW, YOUR FORECASTS ARE NOW BUT AT LEAST WE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY THAT WE'VE DONE OUR JOB TO TO GO OVER THAT AND THEN HD IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE WHAT DO WE HAVE THERE'S TWO TWO ITEMS COMING FROM THE MASSES OUT AT THE AIRPORT. FIRST ONE I THINK IS GOING TO BE RESOLVED SOON WHICH IS THE BUSINESS WITH THE TREES. THIS SUBMISSION TO THE FAA HAS BEEN DONE TO GET TO KNOW THEM. I ACTUALLY WITNESSED TWO CASES WHERE AIRLINERS GOT TO JACKSONVILLE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE WEATHER WAS SO THE OTHER ONE IS AND I KNOW THIS IS AN ONGOING THING JUST TO BRING IT UP AGAIN IS THERE'S CONTINUE TO A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT URBAN NATURE AND THE POLLUTION THAT'S OCCURRING OVER ON THE HANGER FORM IN THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THE AIRPORT HAS ON THE TOWN BUT THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE THAT THAT THAT WE ARE ALL WORRIED ABOUT AND I KNOW YOU'RE AWARE OF IT. I'M JUST BRINGING IT UP AGAIN. I THINK THE ORIGINAL YARBROUGH NATURE WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST MONTH ALL BY NATURE ORIGINALLY DID NOT HAVE A PERMIT TO GRINDSTONE WHICH IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF DUST AND DEBRIS AND THAT SOMEHOW WAS REVIEWED BY THE COUNTY BUT BY THE COUNCIL HERE AND THAT PERMIT WAS REVISED ALLOWING THEM TO CRUSH THE STONES WHICH IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF THE DUST AND THE BRIDGES THAT.

AM I NOT CORRECT? NO, NOT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND .

THEY APPLIED FOR THAT PERMITTING AND DIRECTLY WITH DEAC AND THE TOWN DID NOT EXPLICITLY GIVE APPROVAL FOR GRINDING OF THOSE CONSTRUCTION THOSE SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS WAS EVER NOTIFIED OF JOHN OR STEVE OR SOMEBODY AT THE AIRPORT WAS THERE TO NOTIFY THAT THEY APPLIED FOR. NOT NOT THAT I'M AWARE AND I TOO AM CONCERNED ABOUT OUR NATURE. I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS UP AS AN ISSUE.

I, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT OTHER TYPES OF PERMITS THEY MIGHT APPLY FOR THAT WE'RE NOT AWARE OF . SO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO IF THEY ARE APPLYING FOR NEW PERMITS THAT WOULD PROVIDE MORE ACTIVITIES AND AS I SAID, I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS UP AS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE TOWN NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF VIOLATIONS AND YOU KNOW CALLING THE TOWN MANAGER OR CODE ENFORCEMENT TO LET THEM KNOW SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION, DO OUR OWN INSPECTIONS AS WELL SO THAT THERE CAN BE, YOU KNOW, OUTCOMES AND THEY BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE WE'RE CONCERNED AS WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE.

YOU KNOW IF THAT PERMIT IS IN PERPETUITY OR IS IT FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT BUT I CAN FIND LIKE THAT BUT I CAN FIND OUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T USUALLY PUT A TIMELINE IT USUALLY IN PERPETUITY UNLESS UNLESS THE BUSINESS WERE TO GO

[01:05:06]

BUT THE VERY FINE PRODUCTS WILL JUST THEY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON ENGINE LIFE AND ALSO ON HUMAN LIFE BECAUSE AS A RETIRED DOCTOR I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS A HEALTH ISSUE NOW TOO.

WE HAVE SO SAYING DETECTIVES WHO GAVE THEM YOUR REASONING AS DO YOU BUT I'M I'M ASSUMING JOHN AND STEVE YOU GUYS DIDN'T GET A CALL FROM DEEPAK. I FORGOT.

RIGHT. BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP AND WE CAN OFFLINE AS WELL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

OKAY. RW THE ONLY THING WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IS A CONTINUATION TOWARDS MOVING FORWARD ON THE HANGARS. THAT'S THAT'S THE MAIN REPORT WE WE HAVE WHICH THEN OPENS US UP BACK TO ANOTHER 3 MINUTES FOR CITIZEN COMMENTS ANYONE ON OC MARY NONE WE WILL MOVE TO LOOKING FOR A MOTION OH WAIT ONE LAST TIME ONE LAST THING BECAUSE JUST I WILL BE UP IN DC ON THE 13TH TESTIFYING BEFORE THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE DEALING WITH WATER ACCESS. SO INSTEAD OF IT ONLY HAVING MAYBE FIVE PEOPLE WATCHING ON C-SPAN MAYBE WE CAN ADD IT UP TO 17 PEOPLE BY ADDING THE BOARD MEMBERS HERE IF YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TWO AND 4:00 ON THE 13TH.

YEAH. AS CHAIRMAN OF THE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE COULD ASK YOU WHILE YOU'RE THERE TO WALK OUT SEE LINDSEY GRAHAM I WILL DO MY BEST I WILL DO MY BEST SO GET SOME WE'LL HAVE TWO REPRESENTATIVES COMING IN FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
