[CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:06]
>>> OKAY, LET'S GO AHEAD AND START. OKAY, IT IS 3:39 AND WE CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER. WE WOULD LIKE TO DO A COUPLE OF RECOGNITIONS BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING. SO, LET ME INTRODUCE SOME VISITORS, WE HAVE SOME FOLKS FROM TSTC OUT HERE, JUSTIN RICE AND NATE -- AND OF COURSE, WOODY GILLILAND, AND PAST CHAIR LEARY ARE HERE, AND WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE BOTH OF THEM. AND WE WANT TO GET WOODY GILLILAND TO COME UP FOR HIS SPECIAL RECOGNITION. WOODY HAS BEEN ON THE AIRPORT BOARD SINCE DECEMBER OF 1997 AND THAT IS A MIGHTY LONG TIME. SO, THIS IS TO RECOGNIZE YOUR SERVICE. I PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP OVER THSE MANY YEARS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
>> GREAT, THANK YOU. LET ME JUST GET BACK ON OVER HERE.
INAUDIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] THERE ARE A LOT OF TERRIFIC PEOPLE I
HAVE WORKED WITH, SO -- >> APPRECIATE IT.
>> INTRODUCE THE NEWEST BOARD MEMBER, MARK PERKINS. SO, MARK,
THANK YOU TO THE BOARD. >> THANK YOU.
>> WE DO A LOT OF FUN AND INTERESTING THINGS AT THE AIRPORT. YOU HAD A WONDERFUL TOUR. I'M SORRY I COULDN'T MAKE THAT TOUR, BUT WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN
[MINUTES]
>> SO, THANK YOU, AND WELCOME ABOARD. ALL RIGHT. EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SINCE THE MAY 8TH MEETING MINUTES. AND IF I COULD GET A MOTION? KIRK AND CINDY. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> AYE. >> OPPOSE? HEARING ON. WE MOVE
[3. Airport Management Reports]
FORWARD. OKAY. AIRPORT MANAGEMENT REPORTS. STATISTICAL REPORTS, WHICH IS ALWAYS ONE OF THE FAVORITE TIMES.>> WELL, IT IS THIS YEAR, FOR SURE.
>> YES, YES IT IS. >> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR YOUR TIME TODAY. REALLY QUICK BEFORE I DIVE INTO THE STATISTICAL REPORTS, THERE IS A FORM I AM PASSING AROUND TO GET YOUR SIGNATURE ON IT. I SENT YOU AN EMAIL EARLIER TODAY, EXPLAINING WHAT THAT IS. BUT, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU, ALL, TO SIGN THAT AND AN APPROPRIATE ANSWER ON EACH OF THOSE BOXES, WHETHER YOU WANT THE FULL DISCLOSURE OR NOT, OF PERSONAL INFORMATION. SO, ANYWAY, JUST BRING THOSE BACK TO ME AND FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T HERE, THEY WILL HAVE THAT IN THEIR EMAIL, I WILL REMIND THEM, TOO. JUST A LITTLE HOUSEKEEPING. SO, IN JUNE -- SO, STAFF AND I SEE THIS IN THE PARKING LOT. WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO BE A GOOD MONTH AND WHAT IS NOT GOING TO BE A GOOD MONTH. JUNE CERTAINLY WAS, PARKING LOT BEING FULL OR VERY NEAR FULL. WE HAD AN INCREASE OF 10% OVER JUNE OF LAST YEAR. SO, WE HAD 8497 PASSENGERS. THE 10% IS LESS OF AN INCREASE THAN THE PREVIOUS MONTHS, INCREASE
[00:05:01]
OVER THE PREVIOUS, YEARS, THEN '23'S INCREASES. BUT, HERE'S THE DEAL. BUT, WE KEPT SAYING WE SAW THE INCREASES ONCE AMERICANS BOOSTED US FROM THREE FLIGHTS TO -- PER DAY TO FOUR FLIGHTS A DAY AND EVEN WENT UP TO FIVE, SO JUNE IS WHEN WE WENT TO FOUR PER DAY. JUNE OF LAST YEAR. SO, THIS IS REFLECTIVE OF THAT, BUT WE ARE STILL GROWING. ON TOP OF WHAT WE BOUNCED UP TO WITH THE FOURTH FLIGHT, WE ARE STILL GOING AT 10% IN JUNE, AND WE ARE STILL UP 29% FOR THE YEAR TO DATE. SO, VERY GOOD NEWS ON THAT. IT ALWAYS TRANSLATES INTO GOOD NEWS IN OUR PARKING LOT REVENUE, WHICH IS 40%, 40.2% OVER JUNE OF LAST YEAR, AND THEN 53%, ALMOST 54% FOR THE YEAR TO DATE OVER LAST YEAR. SO, GOOD NEWS ON THAT AND THE CAR RENTAL REVENUES OVERALL OF ABOUT 30 PERCENT -- 34% FOR THE YEAR. AND 34% OVER THE MONTH. SEE HURT AT $55,000 IN REVENUE FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. THAT IS WITH THEM HAVING OPERATED FOR TWO MONTHS, OF COURSE. SO, THEY ARE DOING OKAY.>> I CAN ATTEST THAT THE PARKING LOT HAS BEEN VERY FULL.
ON A RECENT TRIP, I HAD TO PARK ALL THE WAY FARTHEST NORTH BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FULL. I MEAN, RIGHT OUT BY ABILENE HEROINE WILL FAR MORE SO, IT IS -- OKAY, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE PRICING REPORT AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS OR 30 DAYS OUT AND YOU SEE SOME SAVINGS OVER THE 14 DAYS OUT WHERE THE AVERAGE IS 189, AND THEN 30 DAYS OUT IS 329. SO -- STILL CONTINUES TO BE THE BEST BET FOR US. SO, REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE ISSUES. THERE IS NOT A LOT HAPPENING. FY '24 IS IN THE BOOKS FEDERALLY AND WE ARE LOOKING AT THE APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS FOR FY '25. THE HOUSE, I THINK, HAS COMPLETED ITS WORK ON THE FAA BUDGET, AND -- WELL, ALMOST HAS. THEY ARE ABOUT TO BRING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TOGETHER FOR THAT LEAVE, THEN SHOULD HAVE THAT PROBABLY COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER. NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE WILL HAVE A BUDGET BEFORE OCTOBER 1ST. I WOULD SINCERELY DOUBT THAT. IT WILL PROBABLY BE CLOSER TO CALENDAR YEAR '25 BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE A FULL FEDERAL BUDGET WITH A SLASHING YEAR AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS GOING ON. SO, WE KIND OF EXPECT TO BE IN LIMBO THROUGHOUT THE FIRST QUARTER OF FY '25. FOR OUR FEDERAL ISSUES. CURRENT PROJECTS -- SO, YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT WE HAD THE PRESENTATION IN APRIL ABOUT THE TERMINAL PROJECT, AND TRYING TO DO ALL OF THAT IN ONE PACKAGE THAT HAS SAVINGS ASSOCIATED WITH IT THAT OUR ARCHITECT ESTIMATES. BUT, JUST BECAUSE OF THE SCALE OF IT.
TALKING WITH THE CITY MANAGER, WE BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO BE BEST TO WAIT MAYBE ANOTHER YEAR BEFORE WE ACTUALLY DO THIS, AND POSSIBLY EVEN GIVE COUNSEL THE OPTION OF PHASING IT, AND THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE LOCAL MONIES IT IS GOING TO COST. SO, IT IS A MATTER OF, IS THERE APPETITE TO TAKE ON THE AMOUNT OF DEBT, ESSENTIALLY, WHETHER IT IS A CERTAIN CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION OR A GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND. AT SOME POINT, WHEN THERE IS A PACKAGE BIG ENOUGH TO TAKE TO THE CITIZENS
[00:10:03]
-- BY PACKAGE BIG ENOUGH, I MEAN OTHER PROJECTS WITHIN THE CITY TO TAKE TO THE CITIZENS THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE AIRPORT PROJECT. SO, I BELIEVE IT WILL BE BEST TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR. WE ARE GOING TO A MEETING WITH OUR ARCHITECT, AND OUR CAPITAL PLANNING CONSULTANT, AND LOOK AT WAYS TO BREAK THIS DOWN INTO PHASES, WHICH IS HOW IT WAS ACTUALLY ORIGINALLY SET UP UNDER THE MASTER PLAN. BUT, WE WANTED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT THE FEASIBILITY, TAKE CARE OF OUR PRIORITY FIRST, WHICH IS THE BOARDING AREA. IT IS JUST SO CROWDED RIGHT NOW. TAKE CARE OF THAT FIRST, THEN COME BACK AND PHASE IN THE OTHER PRIORITIES WITHIN THAT WHOLE PLAN. WE JUST MAY HAVE TO DO IT OVER A SERIES OF SEVERAL YEARS INSTEAD OF ONE PROJECT THAT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE TWO YEARS, BUT DO IT OVER SEVERAL PHASES, BIDDING THOSE OUT AND SUCH. SO, WE GET THOSE OPTIONS TO YOU, AND WE TAKE THAT TO COUNCIL AS A PRESENTATION . SO, EVERYBODY HAS A CHANCE TO CHIME IN AND LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING, AND TAKE A CRITICAL LOOK AT IT, AND SEE WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE, AND WE WILL TAKE THAT TO COUNCIL. SO, THAT IS COMING, PROBABLY, I WOULD SAY, SEPTEMBER, THE SEPTEMBER BOARD MEETING. WE WILL HAVE THAT, I THINK A PLAN OF SOME TYPE WITH THE PHASING TO BRING TO YOU.THE AIRCRAFT RAMP PROJECT, THAT IS FOR THE AIRTIGHT AIR TANKERS, THE FOUR TIGHT AIR TANKERS. THEY ARE FINALIZING PLANS NOW WHO ARE AT 90% PLUS ON THE DESIGN AND WE HAVE TO GO TO STAFF REVIEW BEFORE WE PUT OUT THE BID. SO, I REALLY THINK WE WILL RUN OUT ON THE BID IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND HAVE THE OPENING IN ABOUT SIX WEEKS LATER. SO, WE ARE PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK. I WANTED TO START CONSTRUCTION SEPTEMBER 1ST, THEREABOUTS, BUT PROBABLY WOULD BE CLOSER TO OCTOBER 1ST BEFORE WE DO THAT. SO, I THINK BY LEAVING THIS, THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY LARGE PAVING PROJECT FOR THE CITY. SO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR THE CONTRACTORS TO LOOK AT THIS AND THE BEST PRICE SO THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO PUT ALL OF THEIR NUMBERS TOGETHER. WE ARE JUST
GOING TO HIGHBALL IT. >> HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE?
>> ABOUT 18 MONTHS, CONSTRUCTION TIME. THE CAR RENTAL QUICK TURN FACILITY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS ABOUT 60% DESIGNED AND WE STOPPED AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ALL PLAYERS ON BOARD, AND WE HAD PAVARD CAPITAL COME ONTO THE AIRPORT AS A FRANCHISEE. NOW THAT THEY ARE ON BOARD, WE WILL HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM TOMORROW WITH ALL OF THE CAR RENTAL COMPANIES TOMORROW. JACOME AND ANNE MARTIN IS THE PROJECT MANAGER ON THE STAFF WHO WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT THE COMPANY WANTS OUT OF THIS CONSOLIDATED FACILITY. SO, WE ARE GOING TO PICK UP THE DESIGN AGAIN AND LOOK AT SOME OPTIONS TO EXPEDITE CONSTRUCTION. WE ARE ANTICIPATING THIS PROJECT TO BE ABOUT 4 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS, $5 MILLION. WE HAVE ALMOST $3 MILLION COLLECTED TOWARD IT RIGHT NOW WITH THE CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGE, WHICH IS A THREE DAY CHARGE ON EVERY RENTAL CAR RENTED FROM THE AIRPORT. SO, WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT RAISING THAT CFC FROM THREE DOLLARS TO SOME OTHER AMOUNT TO ACCELERATE THAT COLLECTION TIME. AND/OR MAYBE LOOK AT THIRD-PARTY FINANCING, AS WELL. SO, LOOK AT A COUPLE WAYS -- WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS TAKE OUT DEBT FOR THIS. IT IS NOT NECESSARY. WE DON'T THINK IT IS NECESSARY. THE CITY TAKE OUT DEBT. WHEN I SAY "THIRD-PARTY FINANCING," THAT WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY -- WELL, WE HAVEN'T WORKED OUT DETAILS, YET. BUT, IT WON'T BE THE CITY TAKING ON DEBT TO BUILD THESE FACILITIES.
>> SO, WHAT DOES THAT FACILITY LOOK LIKE? I MEAN, WHAT IS THE
PROCESS? >> SO, IT IS A SINGLE BUILDING WITH THREE BAYS FOR EACH CAR RENTAL COMPANY. THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR OWN BASE SO THEY CAN CLEAN VEHICLES. THERE WOULD BE
[00:15:03]
A CAR WASH, A SINGLE CAR WASH THEY WOULD ALL USE, AND ABOVEGROUND FUELING FACILITY THERE, THEN PLENTY OF ROOM FOR PARKING. THEY HAVE ALSO INDICATED A DESIRE TO HAVE SOME ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS THERE, TOO. ALL OF THE COMPANIES ARE GOING TO SOME EVS. HERTZ WAS ALL IN ON EVS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND THEY REALLY PULLED BACK ON THAT, I UNDERSTAND IT IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE TO DO THAT AT THIS POINT. BUT, I'M GLAD TO GET THIS BACK ON TRACK. IT HAS BEEN SITTING THERE ON THE SHELF FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, REALLY, MAYBE EVEN A BIT LONGER THAN THAT.>> WHERE ARE WE LOOKING? >> RIGHT NOW, WE ARE LOOKING AT BONANZA DRIVE, WHICH IS NORTH OF AIRPORT BOULEVARD AS YOU ARE COMING TOWARD THE TERMINAL, TAKE A RIGHT, OUR OLD MAINTENANCE BUILDING IS THERE. THE OLD PRIDE HANGER IS UP THAT
ROAD, AS WELL. >> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE DID A CFC SURVEY? OR, WHERE MOST AIRPORTS OUR SIZE ARE -- IS THAT KIND OF -- HOW OFTEN DO WE CHECK THOSE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE COLLECTING OUR BEST POSSIBLE?
>> I THINK, ALEX, DIDN'T HE DO ONE LATER IN THE SPRING, OR WINTER? YEAH, WE HAVE DONE ONE THIS YEAR, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WE HAVE. AND THAT WILL BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION. AND THE CAR RENTAL COMPANIES CERTAINLY KNOW -- RIGHT NOW, WE ARE PROBABLY MIDDLE OF THE PACK AT THREE DOLLARS. BUT, WE HAVE ROOM TO GO UP. AND IT WOULD BE, I WOULD THINK, ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO GET US THAT COLLECTION THAT WE WANT, THEN ONCE WE HAVE THE COLLECTION DONE, TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION, WE CAN BRING IT BACK DOWN AND IT JUST FUNDS THE MAINTENANCE OF THAT BUILDING.
DIFFERENT AIRPORTS HAVE DIFFERENT MODELS. THEY MAY LET THAT STAND AS THE LEASE PAYMENT FOR THE CAR RENTAL COMPANIES, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY A LEASE ON THAT SO IT GIVES US LEASE REVENUE AND MAKES THEM REVENUE FOR IT. OUTSTANDING MAINTENANCE REPAIRS, WITH THE TERMINAL EXPANSIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS BEING PUSHED OFF POSSIBLY FOR A FEW MORE YEARS, AT LEAST, CITY MANAGER AND I HAD A DISCUSSION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ABOUT REBUILDING THE ESCALATORS INSIDE. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD THOSE SHUT OFF SINCE DECEMBER, BECAUSE WE COULDN'T KEEP THEM RUNNING. BECAUSE LITERALLY SPENT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR AND EVEN CALENDAR YEAR, WELL, THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR ON TRYING TO GET THOSE FIXED. AND THEY RAN FOR ABOUT TWO OR THREE DAYS, AND THEN THEY STOPPED. THEY JUST NEED TO BE REBUILT. THEY ARE 22 YEARS OLD SO WE HAVE ASKED SCHINDLER TO GIVE US A QUOTE ON REBUILDING THOSE. I SHOULD HAVE THAT QUOTE BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. FROM THE LAST I HEARD FROM THEM. SO, WE MIGHT BE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN ORDER TO GET THAT CONVENIENCE BACK TO OUR PASSENGERS, AND IT JUST LOOKS TERRIBLE, I AM VERY MUCH AWARE OF THAT. I LOOK AT IT EVERY DAY, I SHAKE MY HEAD.
SO, WE WANT TO LOOK INTO THAT AND SEE IF WE CAN FUND GETTING
THOSE REBUILT. >> WHERE WITH THE BE LOCATED? IF YOU REBUILD THEM, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT INSIDE THE
BUILDING? >> NO, THEY WOULD BE REBUILT WHERE THEY ARE. WELL, WE WOULD BASICALLY TAKE THE INSIDES OUT OF THOSE ESCALATORS, PUT NEW INSIGHTS IN, AND BASICALLY JUST CREATE NEW ESCALATORS, AND THEN LEAVE THEM IN THAT SAME SPOT.
NOW, IN THE TERMINAL PROJECT, WE WOULD ULTIMATELY GET RID OF THEM AND REPLACE THEM WITH ELEVATORS AT DIFFERENT
LOCATIONS. >> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT IN THE NEW TERMINAL PROJECT, TO ME, THAT WAS AN ACHILLES HEEL AND IT COULD BE THAT I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND -- I DEAL WITH ELEVATORS EVERY DAY AT MY OFFICE, AND YOU ARE ALWAYS WAITING ON ONE, AND IT SEEMS LIKE AN ESCALATOR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, IT WOULD TRANSPORT PEOPLE QUICKER AND PROBABLY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND HOW ERRATICALLY THEY COME TO HIT AN ELEVATOR IN TIME TO GO UP ONE FLOOR, SO THAT IS ONE THING I JUST FELT THE NEED TO MENTION.
[00:20:03]
>> NO, AND YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, STEVE. ABSOLUTELY, YOU ARE. THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MOVE PEOPLE IN OUR SITUATION.
BUT, THE $50,000-$60,000 A YEAR THAT IT TAKES TO MAINTAIN -- THE OUTSIDE ESCALATORS ALONE ARE $34,000 PER YEAR FOR AN EM PROGRAM, THAT MEANS THE COMPANY COMING ONCE A MONTH, RIDING UP AND DOWN THE ESCALATORS, AND SPRING SOME LUBRICANT ON THEM.
THAT IS IT. IF THEY SEE ANYTHING LONG -- WRONG, IF THEY ARE BROKEN, THEN THEY WILL WRITE THAT UP, COME BACK, ON ANOTHER TRIP, AND THAT IS SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET THAT FIXED. IN-DEPTH ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE TERMINAL.
>> AND THEY TOOK THE ONE OUT OF OUR OFFICE BUILDING, TOO. SO, I UNDERSTAND. THEY ARE A HASSLE. OKAY, NO, BUT IT IS THE TO KEEP IN MIND AS A DISCUSSION . JUST BY MORE WD-40.
>> IF ONLY THAT WAS MORE EASY. WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAD ANYTHING -- WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF BIRD ACTIVITY ON YOUR WORK. WE HAD TWO BIRD SPIKES ON THE AMERICAN AIRLINES CRAFT NO DAMAGE WAS REPORTED, JUST TO THE BIRDS. BUT FROM WHAT I HAD HEARD FROM OUR OPERATIONS, THE BIRDS, THEY KIND OF CYCLE THROUGH. SO, WE HAVE HAD, ZACH HAS HAD A USDA WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST TO HIS FACE AT AND LOOK AT THE AIRPORT. THERE ARE JUST TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE HAD YOUR PRODUCTIVITY, SO JUST ONE OF THOSE TIMES. AND THAT SEEMS TO HAVE SLACKED OFF NOW. THE OTHER DAY AND SAID HE IS ORDERING A NEW UNIT AND A KIOSK SYSTEM TO PAY FOR IT. I HAVEN'T SEEN IT, YET. I HAVE SEEN THE PICTURE OF IT, BUT HE AWARDED THOSE AND I AM NOT SURE WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO COME IN, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE MORE OF AN HONOR SYSTEM TYPE OF VENDING, ON THE BROCHURE, I'M NOT SURE OF THE DETAILS. YOU CERTAINLY PAY, BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW THE DOORS TO THE COOLER ARE CONTROLLED, AND THE SNACKS, ALSO. BUT, THAT IS WHAT HE HAS ORDERED, AND WE WILL SEE. I WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS THAT COMES, BUT THE HOPE IS THAT WILL BE A MORE RELIABLE SYSTEM. AS IT HAS BEEN, WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ON THAT. WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH OUR TENANTS. THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING WELL. EVERYBODY IS SUPER BUSY. THE BUDGET, THE FY '25 BUDGET WAS RELEASED TO COUNCIL LAST WEEK, AND THEREFORE THE PUBLIC. ALL OF THE CITY DEPARTMENTS WERE UNDER DIRECTION FROM THE CITY MANAGER TO CUT OUR BUDGETS BY AT LEAST 2%. SO, ANTICIPATING A DECLINE IN SALES TAX OVER THE NEXT YEAR. TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT
[00:25:02]
YEAR. SO, WE DID COMPLY WITH THAT. FORTUNATELY FOR US, WE ALSO HAVE REVENUE INCREASES. SO, I MEAN, WITH OUR PARKING LOT, CARS, AND OTHER REVENUE BEING ADDED UP, SO THAT HELPED BALANCE THIS UP, MAKING THINGS LOOK BETTER EVEN WITH OUR CUTS.SO, IT IS ALWAYS A GUESSING GAME, BUT WE SEEM TO BE TRACKING ON BUDGET RIGHT NOW FOR FY '24. OVERALL, OUR REVENUES ARE ABOVE. YOU MAY REMEMBER, WE BECAME AN ENTERPRISE FUND ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, AND WE STRUGGLED WITH BEING COMPLETELY FINANCIALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT. BUT, RIGHT NOW, OUR REVENUES ARE OUTPACING OUR EXPENSES BY JUST A LITTLE BIT. AND THAT IS WITHOUT THE COVID GRANT SUPPORT THAT WE HAVE HAD WITHOUT THE PREVIOUS THREE, FOUR YEARS. SO, WE ARE ON A GOOD TRACK, WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP THAT UP. FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT AND REVISED ROADWAY. THAT IS THE GRANT. WE ARE STILL WAITING ON AN ANNOUNCEMENT, AN AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT TO COME TO US. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT JUST WITHIN THE LAST WEEK WITH HUD OFFICIALS, AND THEY SAID, WELL, WE HAVE SENT YOU NOTICES, WE SENT YOU TWO NOTICES, AND I SAID, I HAVEN'T GOT THOSE.
THEY HAD MISSPELLED ABILENE IN THE EMAIL ADDRESS. SO, WE HAVE THAT STRAIGHT, I AM COMMUNICATING WITH THEM NOW SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST WEEK. SO, I THINK I WILL RECEIVE THE EMAIL THAT SAYS, "YOUR GRANT IS READY TO GO." WE ARE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THAT. STAFFING -- WE DID LOSE A MAINTENANCE WORKER -- HIS LAST DAY WAS THE 29TH. WE HAVE BEEN OUT HIM -- WITHOUT HIM FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS, BUT WE ARE SEARCHING FOR SOMEBODY NOW AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY, A PARKING LOT ATTENDANT, TEMPORARY, PART-TIME PARKING LOT ATTENDANT. SO, WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ON OUR OPERATIONS OFFICERS. THOSE ARE, AGAIN, OUR FIREFIGHTERS ON THE AIRPORT. WE HAVE TWO NEW HIRES. ONE WAS JUST RECENTLY CERTIFIED AS AN AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIREFIGHTER. NICELY PLAYED, GETTING HIS MILITARY CERTIFICATION OVER TO CIVILIAN CERTIFICATION WITH THE TEXAS FIRE COMMISSION. HE WAS A DAIAS RETIREE. THE OTHER GUY IS THE PERSON WE ARE SENDING TO FIREFIGHTING SCHOOL AT DFW IN AUGUST. SO, GETTING HIM UP TO SPEED, AND TRAINED, AND WE ARE FULLY STAFFED OVER THERE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AT THAT POINT. SO, WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ON STAFFING. COMMITTEE REPORTS -- WE DON'T HAVE COMMITTEE REPORTS THIS MONTH.
>> YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO AIR SERVICE AND BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE? >> OH, YEAH. THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING. ELIZABETH AND I WILL BE ATTENDING THE TAKEOFF AIR SERVICE CONFERENCE IN OCTOBER. THAT IS OUR CHANCE TO MEET WITH AIRLINES AND DO OUR 20 MINUTE PRESENTATION. THEN, GO TO THE NEXT TABLE AND DO ANOTHER 20 MINUTES IT PRESENTATION TO ANOTHER AIRLINE. SO, THOSE ARE GOOD FOR KEEPING UP RELATIONSHIPS, BUT IT IS ALSO THAT INITIAL TALK WITH SOME AIRLINES. I THINK THERE WON'T BE ANY NEW CONTACT OTHER THAN PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE SOMEBODY NEW THERE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME AIRLINE, SO IT IS A LITTLE FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP FAMILIARITY WITH ABILENE WITH THESE PLANNING FOLKS AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE
SOMEBODY NEW. >> WELL, YOU COULD TELL THEM
HOW TO DO THEIR JOB. >> EXACTLY, YEAH. " THE LAST GUY SAID --" TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.
>> WHAT DOES THE NEXT THREE, FOUR MONTHS LOOK LIKE FOR
FLIGHTS? >> WE ARE SET AT FIVE, EXCEPT FOR OCTOBER. I THINK FROM OCTOBER 4TH THROUGH THE 26TH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, MOST OF OCTOBER, WE WILL BE AT FOUR
DEPARTURES PER DAY. >> SO, WE ARE AT FIVE UNTIL
THEN? >> YES. NOW, ON TUESDAY IS WHEN WE ARE AT FOUR, I BELIEVE. BUT, THAT IS PRETTY STANDARD AND THAT IS THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST YEAR, ALMOST.
>> OUR AIR SERVICE CONSULTANT SENT US THAT INFORMATION LAST WEEK, THAT WHEN HE SAW THE OCTOBER SCHEDULE COME OUT, AND SO, THIS IS WHERE IT IS. BUT, IT IS STILL -- OKAY. SO, YEAH,
[00:30:01]
THE FOURTH THROUGH THE 26TH. OR, THE EIGHTH THROUGH THE 26TH. OKAY, YEAH, BUT, OCTOBER ISN'T REALLY LOCKED IN, YET.SO, IT COULD CHANGE, BUT HE THINKS IF THAT STAYS THE SAME, IT IS PROBABLY SOME SORT OF AMERICAN SHIFTING THINGS AROUND, THEY TEND TO DO THAT, OCCASIONALLY. BUT, THAT'S OKAY. AT LEAST IT'S NOT THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
>> I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS, IF I CAN? JUST SOME STATISTICAL STUFF. THIS IS FROM REPORTS -- DO WE HAVE A NUMBER -- LIKE, THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES RENTED PER DAY?
>> RENTED PER DAY? NO, THEY DON'T PROVIDE THAT TO US.
>> OKAY. >> THEY DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE THAT TO US. THEY DO LIKE TO KEEP SOME OF THEIR SECRETS, BUT WE KNOW THEIR REVENUE. WE CAN GO BACK AND -- WELL, WE CAN'T REALLY EXTRAPOLATE A NUMBER BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT RATES, CORPORATE RATES, THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT, YEAH. WE JUST DON'T
KNOW. >> DO WE KNOW OUR -- I AM SURE
WE DO -- OUR CFC REVENUE? >> YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I CAN GET THAT REPORT TO YOU FROM THE
>> YOU DON'T REMEMBER THAT NUMBER WE GOT FROM THEM A WHILE
LOW VOLUME ] >> YEAH. WELL, WE CAN GET YOU
THE CFC. >> HAVE WE BEEN AT THREE ON
THAT FOR A LONG TIME? >> YES. I THINK SINCE 2009? THAT'S WHEN WE INITIATED THAT CFC.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> YEAH, AND I'M NOT DONE WITH THAT PART, YET. OKAY. AND THEN, WE WILL -- YEAH, LET'S -- I'M GOING TO LET ELIZABETH TALK ABOUT WHAT SHE IS DOING ON THE MARKETING SIDE. SHE HAS BEEN VERY BUSY THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND I WILL LET HER TALK ABOUT WHAT SHE'S GOT GOING ON
AND COMING UP. >> ALL RIGHT. SO, I THINK FOUNDATIONAL HE, WE HAVE JUST BEEN ADDRESSING EVEN OUR DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE, MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE KEEPING THE COMMUNITY INFORMED, ANALYZING OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, REALLY TRYING TO GET THAT ON A SOLID TRACK AND EXPERIMENTING, TRYING SOME NEW, CREATIVE THINGS, TRYING TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN THE AIRPORT, WHO OUR PASSENGERS ARE. WHAT KINDS OF JOBS ARE HAPPENING. I THINK THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN VERY POSITIVE, WE HAVE RECEIVED REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK. I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE ALSO PROVIDED YOUR FEEDBACK, SO THANK YOU AND CONTINUE TO KEEP IT COMING. WE ARE WORKING ON FILMING A COMMERCIAL. WE SEE SOME OF YOU WERE GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO HELP AND PARTICIPATE IN. THAT IS GOING TO AIR DURING THE OLYMPICS. SO, THAT WILL BE REALLY FUN. WE WILL GET A LOT OF VIEWERSHIP THERE. ZACHARY ASSOCIATES IS OUR CONTRACTED AD AGENCY, SO THEY REALLY SUSTAIN US AND ARE REALLY STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE TO MAKE SURE WE GET OUR ADVERTISING PROGRAM BACK ON TRACK. THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH. WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF REALLY GOOD FOOTAGE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, SO HOPEFULLY THAT IS FOR A VARIETY OF PLATFORMS. THEY ARE GOING TO BE CRUNCHING FOR US, SOME ADDITIONAL DIGITAL PLACEMENT ADS, TARGET ADS, GOOGLE ADS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. WE MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO GET OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL BACK UP AND RUNNING. I DISCOVERED WE HAVE ONE.
COULD DO A LITTLE CSC AND START TO PRODUCE THINGS THERE. OUR BILLBOARDS, REALLY, GOING TO BE UTILIZING THAT AND THEY MADE SOME REALLY GOOD IMAGES FOR US THAT WE WILL HAVE PLACEMENT ALL OVER ABILENE USING A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT COMPANIES. SWEETWATER AND BROWNWOOD SHOULD ALSO HAVE SOME PLACEMENT DURING THE SUMMER. AND THEN, WE WILL ALSO DO A LITTLE BIT OF RADIO. NOT TOO DEEP INTO THE MARKET, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF OUR LOCAL STATIONS THAT ARE VERY POPULAR, AND HAVING ADVERTISEMENTS IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH, BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO REACH OUR SPANISH SPEAKERS THAT ARE DEFINITELY FLYING. SO, THOSE HAVE BEEN THE MAIN PROJECTS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON RECENTLY, AS WELL AS HAVING CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE CITY WITH WHO YOU MIGHT CONSIDER TEAM ABILENE. TRYING TO CREATE WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN SHARE OUR RESOURCES, WORK TOGETHER, THINK
[00:35:02]
ABOUT DIFFERENT CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS -- YOU KNOW, MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A BLUE SKY VISION, BUT HOW WE CAN, AS A CITY, REALLY COME TOGETHER TO PROMOTE ABILENE. OTHER CREATIVE PROJECTS WE ARE WORKING ON, AS WE ARE GOING INTO THE TERMINAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, WE WANT TO SHOW ABILENE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TO OUR AIRPORT FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS, LOOKING TO REALLY CONNECT THE COMMUNITY TO THE AIRPORT AND THIS IS A WONDERFUL AIRPORT CONVENIENCE BEING ABLE TO FLY JUST MAYBE FIVE, 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM YOUR HOME TO REACH YOUR NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL DESTINATION. PROVIDES REVENUE FOR A CITY, PROVIDES DIGNITY FOR FAMILIES THROUGH EMPLOYMENT. SO, THAT WILL BE AN ONGOING PROJECT AND WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE VERY CREATIVE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT. WE WILL BE GETTING OUR TENANTS INVOLVED. I WILL PROBABLY BE ASKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FROM THIS GROUP. BUT, WE ALSO DO WANT TO HAVE A VERY STRONG, JOB FOCUSED CAMPAIGN AS WE DO THAT, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IS HOW WE WROTE PROSPERITY, THROUGH JOBS AND THAT IS HOW WE PUSH OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO, LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. I AM SURE THERE ARE THINGS I OMITTED WITHOUT MEANING TO. BUT, IT IS A REALLY GREAT PROJECT AND REALLY A PRIVILEGE TO BE A PART OF IT.>> THANK YOU. >> REALLY QUICK, MARK, FOR HELP ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION BLASTER, WE HAD C&C REVENUES OF $104,000. BUT, WE WILL GET YOU WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
>> THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT. >> I GUESS I DID NOT -- I FORGOT, SEE? I DID OMIT SOMETHING. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING TO LAUNCH WITH THE CHAMBER IS ON FRIDAY, ALREADY STARTING CONVERSATIONS THERE, BORROWING FROM OTHER AIRPORTS, LOOKING AT OTHER CITIES, SEEING WHAT IS WORKING FOR THEM. THIS IS SOMETHING INSPIRED BY WHAT CORPUS CHRISTI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT DOES, THEY HAVE A FLY LOCAL PLEDGE. THEY HAVE BUSINESSES IN THEIR AIRPORT THAT PROMISED WE WILL FLY CORPUS CHRISTI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. BUSINESSES CAN CHOOSE HOW EXACTLY THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT PLEDGE AND IT WILL STILL LOOK AT THE VERBIAGE FOR OUR ABILENE PLEDGE. THE COST OF AIRFARE, IF WE HAD A CHOICE OF FLYING OUT OF DBI, AND THERE IS ANOTHER DIFFERENCE, 100, 200, IT IS COMPLETELY FREE TO THE BUSINESS TO SIGN UP, TO MAKE THIS PROMISE. BUT AGAIN, TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF FLYING LOCAL, SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. AND IN AN AFFORDABLE FASHION. IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO MAKE THAT PLEDGE.
BUSINESSES THAT WERE ASKING TO DO THAT WITH US WILL PROVIDE SOME SUPPORT AND HOPEFULLY THAT PARTNERSHIP CAN TAKE THAT OFF
[4. Committee Reports and Appoint Chairs]
>> OKAY, DON, YOU SAID FACILITY PLANNING SUBCOMMITTEE, MARKET DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE, NO REAL REPORT FROM EITHER? RIGHT,
OKAY. >> CAN I ASK ABOUT THAT? THERE'S NOT BEEN ONE OF THOSE SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE -- OR, ARE THEY US? OR,
WHAT IS THAT? >> SO, FACILITY PLANNING, WE HAVE HAD ONE SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD, BECAUSE I AM ON THAT ONE. WE HAVE HAD ONE MARKETING COMMITTEE MEETING,
>> SO, THERE HAS BEEN SOME. >> OKAY. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ON ONE, OR NOT. THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING, I WASN'T AWARE.
>> YOU JUST HAVE TO -- YOU CREATED YOURSELF.
>> OKAY. >> WE WILL GET YOU INVOLVED IN
THAT. >> YOU ARE NOW EMPLOYED.
[5. Discussion and Action to Approve a Recommendation to City Council for a Reimbursable Agreement with FAA for Fiber Line Relocation Inspection Services.]
LAUGHTER ] >> OKAY, THAT ANSWERS MY
>> OKAY. ARE WE READY TO MOVE TO NUMBER FIVE?
>> YES. >> YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT THE FAA FIBER LINE RELOCATION INSPECTION SERVICES?
>> YES. SO, EARLIER THIS YEAR -- WELL, THE AIR TAKER BASE
[00:40:10]
RUNS ATOP TWO FAA FIBER LINES, THEY GO FROM AN INTENT ALIGNED TO THE CONTROL TOWER. THOSE HAVE TO BE RELOCATED. THEY ARE NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR US TO NOT HIT THEM WHEN WE ARE DIGGING DOWN FOR THE RAMP AND THEY DON'T WANT ANY CONSTRUCTION GOING OVER THE FIBER LINES, ANYWAY. SO, WE HAVE TO RELOCATE THOSE. OUR ENGINEER HAS DESIGNED WHERE THOSE SHOULD GO, AND ALL OF THE PARTICULARS AND THE FAA HAS TO APPROVE THOSE, SO THEY HAVE SOME OVERSIGHT IN THAT, AND THEN THEY HAVE TO, DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS, AND THEN THEY HAVE TO HAVE LONG SITE INSPECTION AND OVERSIGHT WHILE WE ARE ACTUALLY CONDUCTING THE WORK OF RELOCATING THOSE FIBER LINES.SO, THAT MEANS THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE US FOR THAT, SO THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A PROPOSAL FOR A REIMBURSABLE AGREEMENT. WHEN THEY WERE REVIEWING THE PLANS, WE HAD A HEAVY REIMBURSABLE AGREEMENT WITH THEM FOR THAT, AND THAT WAS IN THE AMOUNT OF $29,494 AND -- NO, THAT'S NOT -- YEAH, $29,494.80. SO, IT DIDN'T HAVE TO COME TO THE BOARD BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO COUNCIL. SO, CITY MANAGER JUST SIGNED THAT. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, SINCE THERE WILL BE SOME ON-SITE WORK, FAA WILL AMEND THIS REIMBURSABLE AGREEMENT AND ADD ANOTHER $143,079.14 FOR A TOTAL OF $172,573.94 FOR A REIMBURSABLE AGREEMENT. THAT INCLUDES THE PREVIOUS AMOUNT AND THAT IS A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT. IT MAY COME IN LESS THAN THAT. IT DEPENDS ON IF WE RUN INTO ANY ISSUES OR ANYTHING, THEY HAVE TO SPEND MORE TIME ON WHAT THEY ESTIMATE. SO, THIS IS COVERED BY OUR TXDOT GRANT, THAT FUNDING, THAT RAN CONSTRUCTION AT 90%, THE CITY IS COVERING 10% OF THE COST. SO, THAT IS WHAT THIS ITEM WAS ABOUT, TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE REIMBURSABLE AGREEMENT OF $143,079.43 FOR A TOTAL OF 172,573 AND $.94 AND THIS WILL GO TO COUNCIL TOMORROW BECAUSE FAA HAS BEEN VERY LATE IN GETTING THIS TO ME AND NOW SINCE WE ARE GOING TO BE BIDDING THIS OUT IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS. SO, BUT, THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE COST SO MUCH, AND I KIND OF COMPLAINED A LITTLE BIT
WHEN I SAW THAT. >> AT LEAST IT'S COVERED.
>> IT IS COVERED. >> OKAY, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. TO ADD $143 -- TO THE FIBER LINE REINSPECTION LOCATION SERVICE TO TOTAL WHICH WILL BE COVERED BY THE TXDOT GRANT, CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE? CINDY?
>> OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. OKAY. HERTZ -- AMENDMENT TO
[6. Discussion and Action to Approve a Recommendation to City Council for Amendment 1 to the Brevard Capital Service Center West Lease.]
BREVARD CAPITAL, THEIR WEST LEASE.>> THIS IS THE SERVICE FACILITY LEASE. THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT IS ADJACENT TO ABILENE ARROW ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BOULEVARD. THE ABANDONED FUEL FORM. SO, BREVARD CAPITOLS PRESIDENT CONTACTED ME A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND SAID, HEY, I NEED MORE ROOM TO BRING IN A CAR WASH FACILITY THAT THE SHED THAT SITS THERE -- I CALL IT A SHED -- BUT, THE METAL BUILDING THAT SITS THERE IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AS FAR AS WASHING CARS. HE WANTS TO PUT IN AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. SO, THAT IS GOING TO TAKE MORE ROOM. SO, THIS WOULD
[00:45:01]
BE AN AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THAT AREA BY PUSHING OUT THE FENCE TO THE WEST AND TO THE SOUTH. THE SOUTH EXPANSION WOULD BE OVER THAT ABANDONED UNDERGROUND FUEL FARM AREA THAT THEY JUST ABANDONED 6 TO 8 WEEKS AGO, APPARENTLY. SO, THAT IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR THEM. THAT ALSO GIVES THEM ADDITIONAL PARKING AREA, BUT THEY ALSO WANT TO LEASE SOME PARKING AREA FROM US IN THE TEMPORARY PARKING LOT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BOULEVARD. THEY WANT TO PAVE THAT WHOLE WEST SERVICE FACILITY AREA , PAVE IT IN ASPHALT. SO, HE IS WANTING TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE REALLY GOING TO IMPROVE THE LOOK OF IT AND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF IT. SO, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE INVESTMENT HE WAS WANTING TO MAKE IN THIS, KNOWING THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE IN A CONSOLIDATED FACILITY IN JUST A FEW YEARS. SO, HE IS STILL WANTING TO MAKE THAT INVESTMENT. SO, THIS WILL BE AN INCREASE IN THE AREA, BUT WHAT HER AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT -- AND THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO BRING TO YOU GUYS, TOO, IS NO INCREASE IN THEIR RENT. BECAUSE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS HE IS WILLING TO DO THAT WILL GO TO THE AIRPORT. NOT THE CAR WASH, BUT THE PAGE AREA WILL GO ONCE WE HAVE MOVED INTO THE CONSOLIDATED FACILITY. SO, WE DID NOT LEASE THAT AREA BASED ON SQUARE FOOTAGE, ANYWAY. SO, I REALLY DON'T HAVE, TECHNICALLY, A WAY TO INCREASE AS IT WAS A FLAT RATE, ANYWAY. WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE ANYTHING LIKE THIS TO BEGIN WITH. BUT, TO BE FAIR TO THEM, AND RECOGNIZING THE VALUE THAT I CAN HAVE FOR US FOR THE FUTURE, FOR THAT PAVED AREA, AND THE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS, RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS PRETTY JUMBLED, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.>> AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CAR WASH THAT HE IS GOING TO BUILD ON THAT SPOT IN A FEW YEARS WHEN IT IS CONSOLIDATED? IF IT NEEDS TO BE REDONE, IS IT AT HIS COST?
>> IT WOULD BE AT HIS COST, YES. I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY CALL IT A MOBILE CAR WASH, BUT I HAVE HEARD IT REFERRED TO AS A MOBILE CAR WASH BEFORE. ANYWAY, IT WILL BE REMOVED AT
HIS COST. >> ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. MOTION TO ALLOW BREVARD CAPITAL TO INCREASE THEIR SURFACE LEASE ON THE WEST LEASE. A MOTION FROM KIRK, SECOND FROM NANCI. ALL IN
