Sep 13, 2023 Airport Development Board Meeting

[00:00:03]

OH. IT'S 330, SO I GUESS WE'LL CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER FOR THE AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT BOARD.

[CALL TO ORDER]

[MINUTES]

I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE MINUTES.

SECOND. SECOND. RANDY SECONDED.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. MOVE DOWN TO NUMBER THREE WITH THE AGENDA ITEMS.

[3. Airport Management Reports]

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

DON, I JUST WANT TO RUN THROUGH OUR ALEX THERE IS ATTACHED THE STATISTICS.

OH, NEVER MIND. CAN YOU CAN YOU GRAB ME ONE THAT HAS THIS? THANKS. THIS WAS MY OWN PRINTED VERSION, SO THANK YOU, JORDAN.

SO LOOKING AT OUR STATISTICS FROM THE MONTH OF AUGUST, YOU CAN SEE OUR EMPLOYMENTS WERE UP AGAIN, UP 18% COMPARED TO AUGUST OF 22.

AND THAT'S GIVING US A CUMULATIVE INCREASE FOR THE YEAR OF 4%.

SO REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

THAT ALL TURNED AROUND AGAIN ON IN JUNE WHEN WE ADDED WHEN AMERICAN ADDED THAT FOURTH FLIGHT REAL DIFFERENCE MAKER FOR US THAT THAT 33A DAY WAS STRUGGLING TO KEEP OUR PASSENGERS SATISFIED SO THEY WERE I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE THE CALLS THAT WE GOT JUST ANECDOTALLY TALKING ABOUT HAVING TO WAIT SIX HOURS AT DFW.

MY MY EXPERIENCE WAS THE OPPOSITE.

I WAS HAVING A 40 MINUTE CONNECTION TIME, HAVING TO RUSH TO GET TO THE NEXT GATE OR SO.

BUT SOME PEOPLE WERE JUST SAYING, I'VE GOT TO WAIT TOO LONG AT DFW.

JAMES YOU MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO COMING BACK.

YEAH. AND NANCY, YOU HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE COMING BACK.

COMING BACK.

YEAH. MHM.

RIGHT. WE HAVE A FIFTH COMING IN IN OCTOBER.

YAY. AND THAT'LL BE A THAT'LL BE A 5 A.M.

DEPARTURE. ALL RIGHT.

SO ALSO OUR PARKING LOT HAD A VERY GOOD MONTH IN AUGUST AS WELL, UP 30.44% OVER AUGUST OF 22 AND UP 22.19% FOR THE YEAR.

SO GREAT, GREAT STRONG GROWTH THROUGH AUGUST.

AND CAR RENTAL COMPANIES, YOU KNOW, IT'S YOU CAN KIND OF EQUATE IT BECAUSE THIS IS AUGUST WAS KIND OF LIKE THE LAST VACATION TIME OF THE SUMMER.

SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE'RE LOOKING AT IT.

AND IT PROBABLY IMPACTED THE CAR RENTAL COMPANIES A LITTLE BIT, TOO.

NOT NOT AS MANY BUSINESS TRAVELERS.

BUT THEY HAVE NOT EXPRESSED ANY CONCERN TO ME ABOUT THE TRENDS THAT THEY'RE SEEING FOR THEIR BUSINESS.

DON, HAVE WE ALREADY ENTERED INTO THE OTHER AGREEMENT WITH.

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RENT PEOPLE'S CARS FOR TORO.

TORO? YES. TORO IS EFFECTIVE.

THAT WAS EFFECTIVE IN MAY, I BELIEVE.

SO IS THAT IMPACTING THEM AS WELL? I DON'T THINK SO.

WE HAVE SEEN SOME RENTAL ACTIVITY FROM TORO, BUT NOT A BIG AMOUNT AT ALL.

BUT WE'VE GOTTEN A COUPLE OF CHECKS FROM THEM THAT ARE SMALL CHECKS, BUT PEOPLE ARE USING IT TO SOME DEGREE.

SO WILL THAT ENDS UP BEING A REPORT THAT WE RECEIVE SOMETIME OR.

ALEX, DID YOU ADD THAT INTO THE CAR RENTAL REPORT? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S IN THIS, BUT.

YEAH. WELL, GO GO AHEAD AND ADD THAT IN FOR THE NEXT MONTH SO WE CAN SEE THAT IMPACT ON THE RENTAL CAR.

REPORT. I THINK THE THE LAST OUR LAST CHECK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THEM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WAS AROUND $96 OR SO.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S 10% OF THEIR GROSS.

[00:05:03]

SO YOU'LL HEAR HEAR ME TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.

IT'S THE SAME SAME MESSAGE IS WE'RE WAITING FOR CONGRESS TO PASS A BUDGET.

SO WE THINK.

AND Y'ALL ARE PROBABLY HEARING THE SAME THING JUST ON THE NEWS IS THAT THERE MAY BE A CONTINUING RESOLUTION TO GET US THROUGH THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR AND HOPEFULLY IN DECEMBER THERE WILL BE A BUDGET THAT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE IN JANUARY.

SO. WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO WAIT ON THAT BEFORE WE CAN DO ANY REAL WORK ON OUR ROAD.

SO. ON OUR PROJECTS, THE TERMINAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

WE'RE KIND OF AT A STALEMATE RIGHT NOW.

THE WORK HAS STOPPED ON.

THE RESTROOMS. THE WORK IS DONE ON THE PAINTING.

SO BUT IT HAS STOPPED ON THE RESTROOMS BECAUSE WE HAD WE WERE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH CONDENSATION FROM AN AIR DUCT DRIPPING ON TOP OF THE CEILING.

AND THIS WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.

SO WE HAD ISSUED A CHANGE ORDER TO RECOVER THAT DUCT IN INSULATION.

THE INSULATION HAD JUST FALLEN OFF OVER THE LAST 50 SOME ODD YEARS.

WHEN THEY STARTED PULLING OFF INSULATION, THEY FOUND MOLD.

THE CONTRACTOR DID.

SO WE HAD IT TESTED, CONFIRMED THAT WAS BLACK MOLD.

HAD SERVICEMASTER COME OUT AND DO THE REMOVAL LAST WEEK WENT WELL, THEY GOT IT OFF OF THE AIR DUCT, BUT THEY ALSO FOUND IT ON THE CHILLED WATER PIPES THAT RUN RIGHT NEXT TO THAT AIR DUCT.

AND THE CHILLED WATER PIPES ALSO PRODUCE MOISTURE.

THEY PROBABLY ARE THE MOISTURE SOURCE.

SO THERE WERE SOME PLACES WHERE THAT INSULATION HAD DETERIORATED OVER THE YEARS, SO THEY PULLED OFF THAT INSULATION TO ALL OF THE MOLD IS GONE.

WE GOT A CLEAR, CLEAN TEST JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND WE HAVE THE CONTRACTOR NOW BACK IN THE TERMINAL RE INSULATING THE AIR DUCT AND.

I RIGHT BEFORE I GOT CAME HERE, I GOT ANOTHER COST CHANGE ORDER TO INCLUDE THOSE CHILLED WATER PIPES.

SO WE'LL BE INSULATING THOSE AS WELL.

ONCE THAT'S DONE, AND I'LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA TOMORROW AT THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS MEETING, HOW LONG THAT WILL TAKE? I'VE HEARD 2 TO 3 WEEKS BECAUSE IT'S A SLOW PROCESS, BUT WE'LL HAVE THAT BETTER CONFIRMED TOMORROW.

ONCE THAT IS DONE, THEN THE WORK CAN RESUME IN THE RESTROOMS. WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CEILING THAT WAS INSTALLED IN THE RESTROOMS. IT DOES NOT MATCH UP WELL SO THAT THE LIGHT FIXTURES AND THE VENTS FIT WELL INTO THE CEILING PANELS.

THEY ARE METAL CEILING PANELS.

AND SO THE CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO HAVE TO TEAR THAT OUT AND REDO IT.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME.

SO UNDER OUR CURRENT CONTRACT, SEPTEMBER 19TH WOULD BE THE COMPLETION DATE, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT DATE WITH THE CEILING WORK IN PARTICULAR. THAT HAS TO BE DONE.

SO WE'RE JUST.

BUT IT'S. THAT'S YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF SCRATCH YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE CEILING.

IT LOOKS GREAT IN THERE.

IT REALLY DOES.

BUT YOU LOOK UP AT THE CEILING AND SEE JUST THESE IMPERFECTIONS THAT KIND OF DRIVE ME CRAZY.

SO IS THE IMPERFECTION.

IT'S NOT COLOR.

NOT COLOR AT ALL.

JUST THE WAY IT'S BEEN INSTALLED.

IT'S JUST FIT. YES.

YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THESE ARE METAL PANELS AND THE LIGHT FIXTURES DO NOT FIT WELL IN THE THE VENTS DON'T FIT WELL WITHIN THOSE PANELS.

SO IT NEEDS TO COME OUT AND BE REDONE.

OR ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS. WELCOME TO STILL DO A TOUR DOWN THERE.

YES, YES.

OR AT ANY TIME GOING OUT THERE.

YEAH. SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT ON YOUR OWN AND AND WALK THROUGH IT, I'D BE I'D LOVE TO.

I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE YOU THROUGH IT.

IT IS A CONSTRUCTION SITE, SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD PREFER THAT YOU GET WITH ME, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE YOU THROUGH IT.

THAT WAY YOU CAN SEE IT.

I WILL ALSO SEND YOU OUR UPDATED PICTURES THAT WE GOT MONDAY OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS.

[00:10:06]

THOSE RESTROOMS ARE GOING TO BE SO NICE WHEN THEY'RE OPENED UP, BUT WE JUST GOT TO GET THROUGH THE CEILING ISSUE.

AND THE CONTRACTOR HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO WORK ON THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM CEILINGS BECAUSE OF THIS CONDENSATION ISSUE, BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ENCAPSULATE ALL OF THE AREA UNDERNEATH THESE PIPES BECAUSE OF THE MOLD TO KEEP IT FROM FROM SPREADING.

IF ONCE THEY STARTED DISTURBING THE INSULATION.

BUT SO WE'VE LEFT THAT UP WHILE THEY'RE DOING THE INSULATION BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THIS CONSTANT DRIP FROM THE CHILLED WATER PIPES NOW.

ONE THING JUST LEADS TO ANOTHER.

BUT WE'LL BE MAKING PROGRESS.

AND, YOU KNOW, I EXPECT BY MID-OCTOBER WE'LL BE DONE ON THE OUTSIDE.

ON THE FOREST SERVICE RAMP PROJECT WAITING ON OUR GRANT AWARD FOR FROM TEXDOT.

I WILL BE BRINGING TO YOU TO Y'ALL MAYBE IN A SPECIAL MEETING LATER THIS MONTH OR.

POSSIBLY BEFORE THE REGULAR OCTOBER MEETING.

AND I'LL, I'LL, I'LL GET WITH YOU ALL AND SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE AVAILABLE TO DO IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO LOOK AT THAT, TO LOOK AT A RESOLUTION, TO ACCEPT THAT GRANT THAT WE CAN BRING TO CITY COUNCIL.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER ITEM, ANOTHER SCOPE AND FEE PROPOSAL IS THE SCOPE AND FEE PROPOSAL FROM GARVER TO DO THE DESIGN WORK. I'M JUST NOT SURE THE URGENCY OF HAVING A SPECIAL MEETING AT THIS POINT.

I THINK IT PROBABLY CAN WAIT UNTIL THE OCTOBER, YOUR OCTOBER MEETING, AND THEN BRING IT TO COUNCIL.

BUT I'LL I'LL I'LL RUN THAT BY YOU ALL IN AN EMAIL COMING UP.

I DON'T HAVE THE FEE PROPOSAL FROM GARVER YET.

SO THEY THEY THOUGHT THEY'D HAVE THAT TO ME BY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT TO ME YET.

BUT THE FUNDING, OF COURSE, THE FISCAL YEAR FOR THE STATE STARTED SEPTEMBER 1ST.

SO WE JUST NEED TO GET THE THE RESOLUTION TAKEN CARE OF TO ACCEPT THAT GRANT.

AND THEN TEXDOT WILL SEND US THE GRANT AWARD AND WE'LL GET THAT SIGNED BY THE CITY MANAGER AND WE SHOULD BE IN GOOD SHAPE THEN.

AND THEY HAVE CERTAINLY NEEDED THAT THAT RAMP OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WE HAD.

UP TO EIGHT AIRCRAFT, LARGE AIRCRAFT AT THE AIRPORT, AND WE WERE HAVING TO PUT THEM ON VARIOUS PLACES ON THE TERMINAL RAMP LIKE WE'VE DONE BEFORE, AND PARKED THEM ON THE CLOSED RUNWAY, AS WELL AS ABILENE NARROWS RAMP.

SO IT HAS BEEN QUITE THE JUGGLING ACT AROUND THE AIRPORT OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

SO THE RAIN THIS WEEK WAS CERTAINLY WELCOME IN MANY WAYS, BUT ONE OF THOSE IS TO SLOW DOWN THAT ACTIVITY.

THE FUEL FARM RELOCATION THAT IS ABILENE NARROWS UNDERGROUND FUEL FARM BEING MOVED TO AN ABOVE GROUND FUEL FARM AT A LOCATION JUST NORTH OF THEIR CURRENT AREA.

AND THAT IS THEY BROKE GROUND ON THAT THIS PAST THIS WEEK.

SO OR LAST WEEK, I'M SORRY, LAST TUESDAY.

SO THAT'S UNDERWAY.

PROBABLY WILL BE DONE.

SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER.

NOVEMBER, DECEMBER.

SHOULDN'T TAKE THAT LONG TO REALLY DO.

I THINK RIGHT NOW IT'S THE DIRT WORK.

IT'S RUNNING THE UTILITIES TO IT.

IT'S POURING THE CONCRETE PAD FOR IT.

AFTER THAT, IT'LL BE WAITING ON THE SHIPMENT OF THE ACTUAL FUEL TANKS THEMSELVES AND THE PIPING.

AND THEN IT ALL JUST COMES TOGETHER.

SO NOT A NOT A LOT OF MOVING PARTS ON THAT PROJECT.

CAR RENTAL, QUICK TURN FACILITY.

AGAIN, THAT'S ON HOLD UNTIL WE GET OUR NEW CONTRACTS WITH THE CAR RENTAL COMPANIES IN PLACE AND THAT'LL LEAD ME TO TALK ABOUT THAT BID. SO WE, WE HAD A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OUT ON THE STREET.

WE HAD WE DID THAT BECAUSE WE HAD A COMPANY EXPRESS INTEREST TO ME ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

[00:17:36]

OPERATIONS EVENTS.

WE HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING REALLY.

WE'VE HAD A FEW DIVERSION EVENTS, BUT THEY'VE BEEN RELATIVELY SMALL AND NOTHING OF NOTE REALLY.

AN ADDITIONAL FLIGHTS AGAIN.

YOU ALL KNOW ABOUT THE FIFTH FLIGHT.

WE'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE CHARTER ACTIVITY.

GAME FOOTBALL, CHARTERS AND CASINO CHARTERS.

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING WELL.

NO AIR SERVICE ISSUES.

AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH UNDER THE MARKETING REPORT.

AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT AND REVISED ROADWAY, REALLY NOTHING ELSE.

AGAIN, WE'RE WAITING ON THE APPROPRIATIONS FROM CONGRESS FROM FOR FY 24.

AND AND ALSO THE ACTUAL GRANT AWARD TO HAVE THAT THE $20 MILLION APPROPRIATED TO US BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE FOR FY 24.

STAFFING. WE ARE FULLY STAFFED RIGHT NOW.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT EVERY DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY OR DIVISION IN THE CITY CAN CAN BRAG ABOUT.

BUT WE ARE CURRENTLY FULLY STAFFED.

WE HAVE A PART TIME POSITION THAT'S GOING TO BECOME VACANT OUT IN THE PARKING LOT.

SHORTLY, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO FILL THAT QUICKLY ONCE WHEN IT DOES BECOME VACANT.

I'M GOING BACK ON THE ESCALATOR FOR ALL OF THOSE.

INSPECTIONS STAGGERED EACH ONE.

THEY HAVE BEEN.

YES. SO THE AND THAT SO OUR ESCALATORS ARE ON AN AUGUST TIME FRAME.

THE INSIDE ESCALATORS ARE ON AN AUGUST TIME FRAME.

THE OUTSIDE ESCALATORS, I BELIEVE, ARE ON NOVEMBER TIME FRAME.

AND THAT REALLY HAD TO DO MORE THAT WHEN THE OUTSIDE ESCALATORS WERE ORIGINALLY REBUILT BACK IN 2018 AND WE GOT THEM BACK IN SERVICE AND IN NOVEMBER.

[00:20:01]

WHAT WE HAVE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THOUGH, SO WHEN THEY DO COME OUT, THE PLAN IS TO HAVE THEM ALL INSPECTED AT ONE TIME.

SO THAT WAY WE GET THEM ALL BACK ON THAT SAME SCHEDULE.

YOU KNOW, IF I'D MAKE MORE SENSE.

YEAH. EASIER TO KEEP UP WITH FOR SURE.

GOING ON TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, UNLESS ANYBODY'S GOT ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

THREE. ANYONE ON THE FOREST SERVICE RAMP? NONE. WHEN THAT ACTUALLY STARTS THE CONSTRUCTION ON IT, IS THAT GOING TO FURTHER LIMIT THE ABILITY TO PARK AIRPLANES? AND IF SO, WOULD THEY PLAN THAT OUT OF FIRE SEASON? IT WILL ONLY EXPAND THE ABILITY TO PARK AIRPLANES.

BUT I MEAN, THE CONSTRUCTION ITSELF.

OH, NO, NO. THAT'S THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THAT PROJECT.

IT'LL BE IN COMPLETELY GREEN AREA THAT'S NOT USED RIGHT NOW, SO IT WON'T IMPACT THE TERMINAL RAMP OPERATIONS AT ALL.

IT'LL BE A GOOD PROJECT.

IT SHOULD BE EASY TO COORDINATE.

WE'LL HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN TAXIWAY MIKE AND TAXIWAY DELTA FOR A PORTION OF THAT.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, NO IMPACT TO THE AIRFIELD OPERATION.

AGENDA ITEM FOUR WITH THE COMMITTEE REPORTS AND THE POINT CHAIRS.

[4. Committee Reports and Appoint Chairs]

KIRK WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE THAT MEETING, BUT IT WAS GRAY AND DARREN AND MYSELF.

REALLY, IT WAS GOING OVER THE SAME THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.

SO NOT A WHOLE LOT TO ADD ON THAT.

EVERY EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS ON THE AGENDA TODAY.

AND. SO, DARREN, I THINK WE WENT MORE MORE IN-DEPTH ON THE THE ROADWAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD COMING INTO THE. FOR SERVICE PAD AND THE REWRITING OF A FEW UTILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

YES. SO THE ROAD THAT WE THAT LEADS ON TO THE AIRFIELD FROM INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD UP TO THE AREA WHERE THE RAMP WILL BE IS JUST MILLINGS ASPHALT MILLINGS THAT WE'VE PUT ON THERE.

AS WE'VE HAD PROJECTS THAT HAVE WE'VE GOTTEN THE MILLINGS FROM.

SO WE'LL HAVE TO PAVE THAT ROAD SO THAT WAY THE LARGE TRUCKS AND THEN JUST THE THE MULTIPLE VEHICLES THAT THEY'LL HAVE, THAT'LL BE A BUSIER ROAD DURING FIRE SEASON FOR SURE. SO MILLINGS WILL NOT HOLD UP TO THAT.

WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE A PAVED, IMPROVED ROAD TO LEAD FROM THE GATE, FROM INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD UP TO THAT RAMP.

AND THEN THE OTHER, AS DARREN WAS REFERRING TO, THERE IS AN UTMOST GAS LINE THAT RUNS UNDERNEATH THE AREA THAT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD THE RAMP.

SO WE'RE GOING TO RELOCATE THAT LINE AS PART OF THE PROJECT.

AND THEN ALSO SOME FAA FIBER LINES THAT NEED THAT RUN UNDER THAT AS WELL THAT WE'RE GOING TO RELOCATE.

SO THAT'LL TAKE COORDINATION WITH BOTH OF THOSE ENTITIES TO DO THAT.

BUT WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THAT PROCESS.

SO THEY'RE BOTH FAA AND ATMOS ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE PROJECT AND PREPARED FOR US TO START WORK ON THAT.

THEY'LL BE PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS.

MARKETING AND DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE.

SO THERE WAS NO MARKETING MEETING.

WHAT? WE DID HAVE A MARKETING MEETING.

YEAH, WE SURE DID. SO I'LL LET JASON AND CHAIR HALEY.

DISCUSS THAT. WE DID MEET ON AUGUST THE 9TH, I BELIEVE.

SMALL GROUP, DAWN AND JASON AND I.

AND WHENEVER THE MARK ADVERTISING APPROACH UPDATING THE MARKETING COMMITTEE, GIVING FRESH PERSPECTIVE TO THE MARKETING PLANS MOVING FORWARD AND WE'VE ALSO EXTENDED SOME INVITATIONS TO A COUPLE OTHERS TO JOIN THE MARKETING COMMITTEE WHO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE.

SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM THEM.

JASON'S BEEN SHARING POSTS.

HAVE YOU ALL BEEN WATCHING THOSE? I ACTUALLY HAD A STRANGER TELL ME THAT I SAW SOME OF THE COOLEST POSTS ON YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE, SO THANKS FOR DOING THAT.

JASON. THAT'S TO ENGAGE SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS, FOLLOWERS, AWARENESS AND TOP OF MIND BANNER ADS.

AND HE'LL CONTINUE TO POST HUMAN INTEREST STORIES ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT.

UM, WE'RE ANTICIPATING DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE AS BOWLS BREAKS GROUND IN THE NEXT YEAR AND WHEN A NEW ROAD IS BUILT.

AND JASON, IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO.

THANKS. GREAT, JASON.

SORRY. THERE YOU GO. SHE'S GOT A MIC FOR YOU.

[00:25:02]

IS IT ON? OKAY, GREAT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WITH THE WE ALSO HAVE DIGITAL SIGNAGE THAT WE'RE IN THE FINAL DECISION THIS WEEK TO IMPLEMENT DIGITAL SIGNAGE IN THE MONTHS AHEAD.

THAT WILL REALLY BE AN ESTHETIC IMPROVEMENT FOR THE AIRPORT, BUT ALSO IT'LL HELP PRODUCE MORE REVENUE AS WELL.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET MORE ADVERTISERS ON THOSE ON THOSE DISPLAYS.

IT'LL REALLY BE NICE VIDEO VISUALS WITH MOVEMENT, IT'LL REALLY JUST BRING THE AIRPORT TO LIFE.

SO I THINK THAT'S GOING TO REALLY MAKE FOR A NICE TOUCH.

IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO SHARE THE COMMUNITY AND THE CULTURE OF THE COMMUNITY WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T BEEN HERE BEFORE.

AND SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST ARRIVING TO SEE SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

SO WE'LL DEFINITELY WANT TO PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON THAT.

AND THEN ALSO IT WILL HAVE REAL TIME CONTENT AVAILABILITY, TOO, WHERE IF WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY OR OR DELAYS OR NEED TO COMMUNICATE MESSAGES TO PEOPLE IN THE AIRPORT, IT'S ALL APP DRIVEN.

IT'S VERY EASY FOR ME OR SOMEONE ELSE TO JUST CHANGE MESSAGES, TO PUT IN UPDATES.

THERE ALSO ALLOWS US TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT, GET SOME SOCIAL MEDIA UP THERE, SOME LITTLE PICTURES OF PEOPLE HAVING A GREAT TIME AT THE AIRPORT.

SO IT ALLOWS US TO TIE IN OUR MARKETING STRATEGY WITH THE DIGITAL MONITOR.

SO THAT'LL BE A REALLY NICE STEP FORWARD AND A NICE UPGRADE INTO THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE WANT CUSTOMERS TO HAVE AT THE AIRPORT.

A VERY FIRST CLASS, HOSPITABLE EXPERIENCE, LIKE CINDY WAS SAYING, WITH SOCIAL MEDIA.

THAT'S PART OF OUR MARKETING STRATEGY TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE, THE PASSENGERS AND JUST SHARE THE STORIES OF PASSENGERS.

AND SO IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN FOR ME JUST TO WALK, YOU KNOW, WALK THROUGHOUT THE AIRPORT AND JUST KIND OF NOTICE SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

PEOPLE THAT ARE ALL WEARING HAWAIIAN SHIRTS OR, YOU KNOW, OR MAYBE A DAD WITH A SIGN SAYING, WELCOME HOME, MOM, AND ASKING ABOUT, HEY, WHERE HAS SHE BEEN? AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SHE HAS BEEN IT WAS HER FIRST TRIP AWAY FROM THE NEWBORN BABY AND HE HAD THE BABY WITH HER WITH HIM.

AND THEY WERE GOING TO WELCOME MOM BACK.

IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY. SO WE GET TO SHARE THESE FUN MOMENTS THAT HAPPEN AT THE AIRPORT THAT ARE UNIQUE TO THE AIRPORT.

AND IT REALLY ALLOWS ALSO OUR CUSTOMERS, OUR PASSENGERS, TO TELL THE VALUE PROPOSITION OF THE AIRPORT.

AND SO WE JUST DID A PHOTO SHOOT A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY TALKING ABOUT WHY THEY FLY FROM ABILENE.

AND THESE ARE EVERYDAY PEOPLE THAT ARE INFLUENCERS.

AND AND WE REALLY THINK THAT USING PEOPLE WILL REALLY BE A GOOD MARKETING STRATEGY AND SOCIAL MEDIA IS A GREAT WAY TO DO THAT.

SO WE'VE SEEN ENGAGEMENT GO UP QUITE A BIT.

WE'VE SEEN FOLLOWERS GO UP QUITE A BIT.

AND THE CITY OF ABILENE IS ALSO WORKING ON A LARGER SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY.

SO THEY'RE REALLY REINFORCING EVERYTHING AS WELL.

THE TAKEOFF CONFERENCE LAST MONTH, DON, MENTIONED THAT HE AND I WERE GOING TO TAKE OFF CONFERENCE IF WHAT THAT IS, IT'S WHERE THE AIRLINES MEET WITH AIR SERVICE PROVIDERS.

AND IT'S AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE WHERE WE GET TO SET UP MEETINGS IN ADVANCE, THEIR FORMAL MEETINGS THAT WE GO PREPARED WITH PACKETS CUSTOMIZED FOR EACH AIRLINE.

IT HAS DATA, ALL OF OUR DATA ON THE COMMUNITY.

WHY ABILENE IS A GREAT, STRONG COMMUNITY THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE AIR SERVICE AND THEN ALSO IT TALKS ABOUT THE LOAD RATES AND AND ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE AIRLINES.

AND SO WE MET WITH THREE AIRLINES AND THEY ALL WENT REALLY, REALLY WELL.

ONE OF THE AIRLINES WAS AMERICAN AIRLINES, AND THEY THEY REPORTED INFORMATION WE KNEW AS WELL.

BUT IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR IT FROM THEIR LIPS THAT THAT THE LOAD FACTOR WAS JUST OVER 80% SINCE THE FOURTH FLIGHT WAS ADDED ON JUNE 1ST.

AND SO THEY'RE REALLY HAPPY WITH THAT.

AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE FLIGHTS HERE BECAUSE THEY REALLY WANT TO CONTINUE TO GROW IN THIS AREA.

AND IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR THEM.

HAD FAVORABLE MEETINGS WITH THE OTHER AIRLINES AS WELL.

AND AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR STRATEGIES, WE'RE ON THEIR RADAR AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO NURTURE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.

WE HAD ONE ADDITIONAL AIRLINE MEETING SINCE THE CONFERENCE.

IT WAS WITH AN AIRLINE THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH THERE, BUT THE PERSON ENDED UP SICK AND COULDN'T BE THERE.

SO WE FOLLOWED UP WITH WITH THAT ONLINE AND THAT WENT REALLY WELL AS WELL.

DON MENTIONED THE FIFTH ADDITIONAL FLIGHT THAT WILL BEGIN.

ACTUALLY, MR. BOONE MENTIONED THE THE FIFTH ADDITIONAL FLIGHT THAT WILL HAPPEN IN OCTOBER.

AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE LIKE MR. BOONE WAS SAYING, FOR THE BUSINESS TRAVELERS, THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT FLIGHT.

IT WAS THE 5 A.M., YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN I FLEW IT ALL THE TIME, IT WAS THE 530, 5:40 A.M.

FLIGHT. I THINK IT'S A LITTLE EARLIER NOW.

AND IT ALLOWED BUSINESS TRAVELERS TO GET ALMOST PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY FOR A SAME DAY MEETING.

I KNOW I USED TO FLY TO LA EVERY THREE WEEKS FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, AND I COULD GET IN IN MALIBU FOR CLASS BY 10 A.M., YOU KNOW, AND SLEEP IN MY OWN BED THE NIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE THE TWO HOUR TIME DIFFERENCE.

SO, SO IT'S REALLY IT'S A GREAT IT'S A GREAT BENEFIT FOR BUSINESS TRAVELERS.

WE HEARD A LOT OF FEEDBACK WHEN IT WAS LOST THAT THAT WAS A PAIN POINT.

AND SO WE'RE EXCITED THAT THAT WILL BE BACK.

WE THINK THAT WILL BE A REALLY GOOD THING FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE BUSINESS TRAVELERS ESPECIALLY.

YOU MIGHT RECALL AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, THERE WERE ONLY THREE DEPARTING AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHTS FROM ABILENE REGIONAL AND THEN.

[00:30:04]

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

WITH THE ADDITIONAL FLIGHT IN OCTOBER, WE'LL HAVE OVER 10,500 SEATS PER MONTH.

AND FOR CONTEXT, JUST A FEW YEARS AGO IN 2019, WHICH WAS A REALLY STRONG YEAR, AND THE REASON WE GO BACK TO 2019 IS BECAUSE WE HAD SOMETHING IN BETWEEN THAT KIND OF MESSED UP THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY WITH THE PANDEMIC.

SO 2019.

MOST RECENT RELATABLE YEAR.

BUT EVEN IN THAT YEAR WE HAD AROUND 909,400 SEATS IN THE PEAK MONTH.

AND THIS YEAR IT WILL BE AROUND 11,400 SEATS IN THE PEAK MONTH.

SO SO WE'RE REALLY ALL THE NUMBERS, ALL THE DATA, ALL THE DEMAND IS LOOKING REALLY GOOD.

GOOD. THANK YOU, JASON. THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE DISCUSSION AND ACTION TO APPROVE RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR TASK ORDER ONE FOR WITH PARK HILL FOR TERMINAL

[5. Discussion and Action to Approve Recommendation to City Council for Task Order 1 with Parkhill for Terminal Expansion and Improvements Design]

THANK YOU. SO LAST MONTH OR IN JULY, THE BOARD APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH PARKHILL AS OUR ARCHITECT GOING INTO THIS TERMINAL EXPANSION PROJECT.

THIS WILL BE A VERY LARGE PROJECT.

PHASE ONE WILL BE TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE HOLD ROOM, THE GATE AREA, BY ABOUT 4000, ABOUT 4100FT², AS WELL AS INCREASING AND RELOCATING THE TSA SCREENING CHECKPOINT, INCREASING THE SIZE OF THAT, ANOTHER APPROXIMATELY 4100FT².

OF ADDITIONAL SPACE TO THE TERMINAL, AS WELL AS SOME ESTHETIC IMPROVEMENTS.

MODERNIZATION IN THE RESTROOMS AND SUCH.

THE REMAINING RESTROOMS. WE HAVE THIS IS GOING TO TRIGGER ADDING THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE IS ALSO GOING TO TRIGGER HAVING TO PUT IN A FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A BIG PAIN TO DO BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE BUILDING.

SO. LOTS OF OR HVAC SYSTEM LOOKING AT THE CAPACITY OF THE HVAC, SEE IF IT CAN HANDLE THE INCREASED SQUARE FOOTAGE.

SO THERE'S A VERY INVOLVED PROJECT.

WE HAD A A SCOPE AND FEE PROPOSAL FROM PARK HILL AFTER WE HAD OUR CONTRACT IN PLACE AND IT CAME IN AND THIS IS VERY TYPICAL FOR OUR FAA PROJECTS, YOU HAVE TO DO AN INDEPENDENT FEE ESTIMATE.

SO THAT MEANS ANOTHER ARCHITECT HAS TO LOOK AT THAT FEE PROPOSAL TO MAKE SURE IT IS COMPETITIVE.

IT IS MARKET RATE.

SO THEY CAME IN THE I'VE CAME IN AT ABOUT 400,000 LESS THAN WHAT PARK HILL HAD PROPOSED TO US.

AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH PARK HILL, GET THEM DOWN TO LESS THAN 10% OF THAT I'VE ESTIMATE AND WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE TO FAA.

WE ACTUALLY CAME IN AT ABOUT 3% ABOVE WHAT THE IFC CAME IN.

I THINK IT'S A FAIR PROPOSAL NOW AND.

PARKHILL IS HAPPY WITH THAT AS WELL.

I DON'T THINK THEY'LL COME BACK IN NICKEL AND DIME US BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT THINGS IN IT.

BUT SO THE PROPOSAL NOW THE REVISED PROPOSAL.

I'M RECOMMENDING TO YOU GUYS NOW IS $2,553,699.65.

THIS INCLUDES ALL OF THE DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT.

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PHASE.

SO WE WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD WHEN WE WHEN WE BID THIS PROJECT AND PROBABLY AUGUST OF NEXT YEAR.

WE'LL COME BACK TO THE BOARD WITH THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SCOPE AND FEE PROPOSAL FROM PARKHILL TO OVERSEE THE CONSTRUCTION FOR US.

SO THIS IS AGAIN, THIS IS JUST THE DESIGN.

THERE WILL BE A LOT OF COORDINATION WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT ENTITIES.

WE HAVE TO GET ALL OF OUR TENANTS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THEIR NEEDS.

AND THEN THE NEEDS OF OUR PASSENGERS AS WE HAVE TO MOVE PEOPLE AROUND THAT GATE AREA IS GOING TO BE A VERY DIFFICULT.

HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADD ON TO THAT HOLD ROOM AND NOT DISRUPT OUR AIR SERVICE AND PASSENGERS COMPLETELY.

IT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE.

SO WE'RE IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF COORDINATION AND A LOT OF EXPERTISE, WHICH PARKHILL DOES HAVE.

YES. WHICH WAY IS IT GOING TO EXPAND?

[00:35:01]

AND THAT WAS HOW WHEN LUTHER DESIGNED THE TERMINAL, THAT'S HOW THEY THEY ENVISION THE FUTURE EXPANSIONS OF THAT GATE AREA WAS JUST STRAIGHT SOUTH, WHICH MEANS YOU THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE THE AREA THAT WE'RE THE GATED GATE AREA IS NOW YOU JUST BUILD FARTHER TO THE SOUTH.

THAT. THAT IS THE CONCEPT THAT WE USED INITIALLY FOR THIS.

BUT I WAS THINKING.

WE HAVE MORE ROOM OFF TO THE WEST.

OFF TO THAT WEST SIDE THAN WE DO GOING SOUTH.

BECAUSE YOU GO SOUTH AND YOU START INFRINGING INTO WHERE THE AIRCRAFT TAXI BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE RAMP AND THE TERMINAL.

SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT.

REALLY BUILDING TO THE WEST.

THAT MEANS RELOCATING THE WEST JET BRIDGE.

THERE MAY BE A COMPONENT THAT IS AN EXPANSION OF THE SOUTH SIDE AS WELL.

SO IT MAY BE A COMBINATION OF THAT.

BUT I THINK THE WEST EXPANSION IS WHERE WE HAVE THE MOST ROOM.

SO WITH THAT, WE WILL FUND THAT WITH OUR FY 23 FAA GRANTS, OUR TWO GRANTS THAT WE RECEIVED, THE AP GRANT, WHICH IS OUR ENTITLEMENT GRANT THAT WE GET EVERY YEAR OF 1,110,000.

THEN WE HAVE OUR AIG GRANT.

THAT IS THE FROM THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW, THE BILL.

IT IS A THERE'S A THERE'S FIVE YEARS OF GRANTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR AIRPORTS OUT OF THAT IS GUARANTEED TO US OVER THAT FIVE YEAR PERIOD.

SO WE HAVE THREE MORE YEARS OF THAT AT 1 MILLION, 163,000.

THEN YOU'VE GOT THE CITIES MATCH.

SO ALL TOGETHER THAT GETS US SO WE'RE THAT THAT WILL FUND ALL BUT ABOUT $19,000 OF PARK HILLS FEE. SO WE WILL COME BACK AND WE WILL TAKE AVAILABLE BOND MONEY THAT THAT'S FROM THE 2015 BOND GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND THAT WAS DEDICATED TO THE AIRPORT THAT WE STILL HAVE REMAINING WILL PULL FROM THAT AMOUNT AND THAT WILL GIVE US WHAT WE NEED TO FUND THIS DESIGN. AGAIN, THAT AMOUNT, THE AMOUNT IS 2,553,699 65.

THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE.

WE'LL VOTE ON IT. I CAN GET A MOTION FROM BOARD MEMBER.

MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE PARKHILL TERMINAL EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

SECOND. SECOND. THE MOTION IS SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. THE NEXT ITEM IS

[6. Discussion and Action to Approve Recommendation to City Council for Task Order 1 with Enprotec, Hibbs & Todd for Design and Construction Management of the new Airport Access Road.]

IN JULY, THE BOARD APPROVED THE CONTRACT WITH THEM AND THIS TASK ORDER WILL FALL UNDER THAT CONTRACT FOR LANDSIDE ENGINEERING.

CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THAT CONTRACT AS WELL.

SO WE HAVE THAT EXECUTED CONTRACT.

AND THEN TASK ORDER ONE IS FOR THE DESIGN OF THE AREA B ROAD.

THAT IS THE ROAD THAT OUR.

ALL RIGHT. OUR. FY 24 FEDERAL APPROPRIATION WOULD FUND.

SO WE HAVE FUNDS SET ASIDE NOW THROUGH OUR BOYS CONTRACT THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND BEGIN THE DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT. AND THAT WILL HELP BOYS ALSO LOSE THAT CONVENIENCE STORE THAT'S GOING IN.

AND SO WE HAVE A PROPOSAL FROM AND PROTECT GIBBS AND TODD ON THE DESIGN OF THIS AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT.

DARREN. OBVIOUSLY, I'LL NEED TO ABSTAIN.

YES, SIR. SO THAT WILL BE A TOTAL FEE OF $200,000.

THAT IS FOR THE DESIGN AND THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND MATERIALS TESTING.

UNDER UNDER THIS TASK ORDER.

BUT WRITE AN EVEN 200,000.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION ON THAT.

THERE ARE CONSTRUCTION MEETING.

THE OTHER DAY. THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT SOME OF BOWIE'S MONEY.

[00:40:01]

YEAH, IN THE LEASE WITH BOWIE'S, THEY HAVE SET ASIDE $600,000 TO GO TOWARD THAT ROAD.

SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE TAPPING INTO.

BASICALLY REIMBURSE THAT YES BACK LATER BACK BACK WHEN WE GET THE WHEN WE GET THE APPROPRIATION, WE WILL BE ABLE TO REIMBURSE OURSELVES.

THAT 600,000 IS FOR.

THE EGRESS OFF OF.

3036. YEAH.

SO. OR IS THAT 600,000 GOING TOWARDS THE THE ROAD THOUGH.

IT IS FOR THE FOR THE ROAD ITSELF FOR THAT AREA.

B ROAD THAT COMES OFF OF HIGHWAY 36 GOING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THAT WHOLE AREA.

OKAY. SO BOYS IN THEIR SITE PLAN, THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO HIGHWAY 36 FROM THEIR PARKING LOT. BASICALLY, THEY'LL HAVE TO GET THAT RIGHT OF WAY WAIVER FROM TEXDOT.

OKAY. TO DO THAT.

THAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THIS ROAD PROJECT.

THAT WAS MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION IS.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO.

GO AFTER THAT WITH TEX.

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN DISCUSSION AND ACTION TO APPROVE RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR AWARD OF THE AIRSIDE ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT TO GARVER.

[7. Discussion and Action to Approve Recommendation to City Council for award of the Airside Engineering Services Contract to Garver.]

MY DISCUSSIONS WITH TEXDOT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ON THIS THE FOREST SERVICE PROJECT I HAD, THEY HAD ASKED IF WE HAD HAD AN ENGINEER.

I SAID, YES, WE DO.

AND THEY SAID HAD BECAUSE THERE ARE THERE ARE RULES ABOUT SELECTION.

WHEN YOU'VE GOT FUNDING COMING FROM A GOVERNMENT SOURCE, YOU'VE GOT TO DO YOUR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SELECTIONS A CERTAIN WAY.

AND THEY SAID, WAS THAT WHEN YOU MADE THAT SELECTION OF GARVER SEVERAL YEARS AGO, DID IT INCLUDE THIS RAMP? I SAID, NO, IT DIDN'T, AND SAID, WELL, WE WOULD LIKE IT IF IT DID SO.

SO DOING A NEW SELECTION, WHICH IT ONLY BUMPED UP A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF WHAT WE HAD ALREADY PLANNED ON DOING THIS YEAR.

SO WE, WE DID A NEW ENGINEERING SELECTION FOR AIRSIDE ON CALL SERVICES, AND WE RECEIVED THREE STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATIONS FROM THREE FIRMS, GARVER BEING ONE OF THEM.

AND WE RECOMMEND THAT WE PROCEED WITH A CONTRACT WITH GARVER FOR ON CALL ENGINEERING SERVICES THAT WILL COVER MAINLY THE FOREST SERVICE RAMP.

WE'LL HAVE A A FUTURE TASK ORDER FROM THEM THAT WILL BRING TO YOU JUST LIKE THESE, THESE TWO.

AND THEN WE'LL HAVE WE'LL GET THEM UNDERWAY ON THE DESIGN.

AND I'M SORRY. THAT WILL BE FOR A FIVE.

THAT'S A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT.

THE CONTRACT TODAY HAS NO VALUE.

THERE IS NO THERE ARE NO TASK ORDERS ASSOCIATED WITH IT YET.

THAT'S WHY WE'LL BRING THAT TO YOU SEPARATELY.

AND ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE AN ACTION ITEM THAT NEEDS A BOARD APPROVAL.

A VOTE. GET SOMEBODY.

MOTION. SECOND.

SECOND. WE GOT MOTION IN A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE? AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION PASSES.
