[00:00:02]

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL CALL THIS MEETING OF THE AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT BOARD TO ORDER AT 342.

ANY VISITORS WITH US TODAY? I DON'T THINK I, EVEN OUR FRIENDS FROM TSC AREN'T ABLE TO JOIN US TODAY.

[2. Consideration and Action Approving Minutes of the July 9, 2025 Meeting]

WE HAVE THOSE IF YOU WANT TO LOOK THOSE OVER OR I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AGENDA ITEMS.

[3. Airport Management Reports]

SO GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. GLAD WE GOT A BIG CROWD TODAY.

SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT. AND WE'VE GOT GOOD NEWS TO REPORT.

STILL AS WE MOVE THROUGH JULY OF REPORTING STATISTICS.

SO 88% LOAD FACTOR IN JULY. THAT BEATS THE 87% THAT WE HAD IN JUNE.

AND I THINK WE WERE AT 85 IN MAY. SO WE CONTINUE TO GO UP.

SO EXCELLENT NEWS. AND WE ARE WE SEE IT IN THE TERMINAL EVERY DAY AND WE REALLY SEE IT IN THE PARKING LOT.

SO THAT'S GREAT NEWS. YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR EMPLOYMENTS ARE UP YEAR TO DATE, 14% OVER LAST YEAR. AND THEN OUR PARKING LOT REVENUE IS UP ALMOST 14% AS WELL 13.94 OVER LAST YEAR.

SO EXCELLENT NEWS ON THAT. ANY QUESTIONS ON OUR STATISTICS? I'M KIND OF GOING THROUGH THEM PRETTY QUICK SO WE CAN BUT PLEASE STOP ME AND ASK QUESTIONS.

SO. THEN ON THE BACK IS NOT SO GOOD NEWS.

LET ME SEE THAT THERE ARE AIRFARES CONTINUE TO STAY PRETTY HIGH.

AND THAT IS AGAIN PRICING BY THE AIRLINE THAT IS REFLECTIVE OF THEM.

NOT NOT REALLY MAKING A LOT OF EFFORT TO SELL SEATS BECAUSE THE SEATS ARE KIND OF SELLING THEMSELVES.

SO I THINK THEIR THEIR GOAL IS TO MAXIMIZE REVENUE AS ALL OF OUR GOALS ARE.

BUT THAT'S HOW THEY'RE DOING THAT. AND THEY'LL AT SOME POINT THEY'LL FIND THAT PAIN POINT WHERE IT WILL WILL PEOPLE WILL STOP BUYING.

AND WE'RE NOT FILLING THE FLIGHT UP TO 88%. SO UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PROBABLY TEST THE MARKET.

SO BUT ANYWAY, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT LIZ POSTED THAT VIDEO WHERE IT GAVE A GREAT DETAIL ABOUT HOW THAT HAPPENS. YOU KNOW, I KNOW EVERYBODY'S UPSET THAT THESE ARE OUR PRICING, BUT THIS IS WINE.

IT'S NOT US. IT'S NOT THE IT'S THE AIRLINES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT A GREAT POST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. SO THAT'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON OUR STATISTICS? OKAY. REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE ISSUES UPDATE.

NOTHING REALLY TO REPORT. WITH CONGRESS BEING AT LEAST THE HOUSE BEING IN AUGUST RECESS RIGHT NOW.

I THINK WE'RE WE'RE GOOD FOR NOW. NOTHING THAT IS ANTICIPATED REGULATORY WISE FROM FAA OR TSA THAT HAS US CONCERNED AT THIS POINT AND UPDATES ON THE PROJECT. SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK EXTENSIVELY HERE IN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TERMINAL PROJECT.

SO I WILL MOVE ON WITH THAT. EXCEPT TO SAY THAT WE CONTINUE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS.

COLLINS IS HERE AND HE IS OUR LEAD ARCHITECT ON THAT WITH PARKHILL.

THEY ARE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF MEETINGS WITH THEM OVER THE PAST WEEK, WEEK AND HALF, AND WORKING WITH FAA AND OUR CAPITAL IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES CONSULTANT, BRAD HUTCHINS OF HUTCHINS AND GROW AND TELL YOU WE'RE WE'RE WE ARE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ON THIS PROJECT AND IN THIS STAGE OF JUST KIND OF GETTING EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER. BUT CALL WITH FAA JUST RIGHT BEFORE THIS MEETING THAT WE WERE ON.

SO WE'RE KIND OF RUSHING JUST A LITTLE BIT THIS THIS AFTERNOON TO GET THINGS PUT TOGETHER WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, BUT WE WERE A LITTLE I WAS A LITTLE LATE GETTING HERE WITH THAT CALL. SO AND THEN THE THE AIR TANKER RAMP THAT IS MOVING ALONG PRETTY WELL NOW, NOW THAT THEY'RE PAST THE UTILITY RELOCATION PHASE OF IT, WHICH REALLY IT FINISHED WITHIN THE TIME FRAME THAT WAS ALLOTTED FOR THAT PHASE.

BUT IT WAS A HASSLE TO GET THERE. SO WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT IS VERY HAPPY THAT THAT PHASE IS OVER WITH.

[00:05:06]

SO THAT'S GOING VERY WELL, PARTICULARLY WITH HOT DRY WEATHER.

I MEAN THIS IS CONSTRUCTION WEATHER. SO FOR OUTSIDE PROJECTS AND OUTSTANDING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING RIGHT NOW. EVERYTHING THAT SHOULD BE WORKING IS WORKING.

EXCEPT FOR ONE OF OUR BAGGAGE. BAGGAGE CONVEYORS IS ON THIS BEHIND THE TICKET COUNTERS.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'M AWARE OF THAT WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH.

ESCALATORS ARE STILL RUNNING, SO THAT'S THE FIRST THING I LOOK AT EVERY MORNING WHEN I WALK IN.

WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH OUR PARKING LOT AND ENTRANCE LANE.

WE'VE GOT ISSUES WITH A TICKET SPINNER. ALEX HAS BEEN ON TOP OF THAT, ALONG WITH OUR MAINTENANCE WORKERS AND WORKING WITH OUR SERVICE COMPANY OUT OF DALLAS ON THAT. SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT RESOLVED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

BUT THE BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS ON MONDAY. ALEX MONDAY AFTERNOON, ALEX, WORKING WITH THE CITY'S IT DEPARTMENT REESTABLISHED THE SECOND LANE IN OUR EXIT LANE IN OUR PARKING LOT THAT HAS BEEN OUT SINCE APRIL 18TH, THE DATE OF THE CYBER ATTACK. WOW. AND THAT WAS CYBERATTACK RELATED.

SO WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE THAT NETWORK RESTORED AND HAVE THAT LANE OPEN NOW AND AGAIN.

OPEN LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON HAS BEEN WORKING EVER SINCE.

SO THAT IS A RELIEF FOR US AS THE AS AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, BUT A BIGGER RELIEF FOR OUR PASSENGERS WHO HAVE HAD TO WAIT IN LONG LINES WHEN AN AIRCRAFT ARRIVES WHEN YOU'VE GOT 5060 PEOPLE TRYING TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT AT ONE TIME AND THEN END, AND THE TENANT EMPLOYEES TOO. SO SAME THING. SO WE ARE VERY, VERY GLAD TO HAVE THAT.

THAT'S BEEN THAT WAS A RELIEF TO GET THAT BACK UP.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALEX. AND OUR CITY'S IT STAFF AND WORKING ON THAT AND GETTING THAT BACK UP.

AIRPORT TENANT ISSUES AND PERFORMANCE. I THINK EVERYBODY'S DOING WELL.

WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS. NO REAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT ANYTHING.

SO IT SEEMS TO BE GOING WELL. THE AIRPORT ACCESS ROAD WORKING WITH AND PROTECT KIDS AND TODD STILL IN THE DESIGN.

WE HAD ADDED SOME ELEMENTS TO THAT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND THEY ARE WORKING THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW.

COLIN IS NOW PARKHILL IS NOW A PARTNER IN THAT PROJECT, DESIGNING MONUMENT SIGNS.

FOR THAT AT THE AT BOTH ENDS OF THE ROAD. SO AND THEN GETTING US A DESIGN TO CARRY FORWARD IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE HAVE TENANTS WHO ARE, WHO WILL POPULATE THOSE OPEN AREAS THAT WE CREATE AND ASSIGN THAT WE CAN USE FOR THAT TO THE INTEREST INTO THOSE SO THAT WE'VE GOT A STANDARD SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE LENGTH OF THAT ROAD. THE RF TRUCK BID.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

SO I'LL HOLD OFF ON THAT. AND THEN I'LL THROW IT TO ELIZABETH TO TALK ABOUT MARKETING AND DEVELOPMENT.

ALL RIGHT. HI. GOOD AFTERNOON, FRIENDS. FOLLOWING DON, I'M GOING TO BREEZE THROUGH THIS, TOO, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT TO COVER. SO AS FAR AS AIR SERVICE AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IS CONCERNED, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR FIVE DAILY DEPARTURES AND ARRIVALS.

YOU KNOW, THOSE REMAIN STEADY. WE RECEIVED OUR DOT Q1 REPORT FROM OUR AIR SERVICE CONSULTANT.

SO I WAS GOING TO SHARE A FEW QUICK INSIGHTS FROM FROM THAT REPORTING.

AND WE CAN EASILY SEND THAT ALONG TO YOU AS WELL.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC WAS UP 10% OVER Q1 LAST YEAR, AND SO FAR 12.7% YEAR OVER YEAR.

Q1 PERFORMANCE NEARLY MATCHED Q2 OF 2024. AND SO Q1, YOU KNOW, FOLLOWING THE HOLIDAY PERIOD, THIS IS TRADITIONALLY A SLOWER TIME FOR US. BUT IT WAS NOT YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THAT WAS THAT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT UPTICK IN THE TRAFFIC WE SAW IN Q1.

OUR TOP MARKETS REMAIN PRETTY CONSISTENT, BUT WITH GROWTH IN NEARLY ALL DESTINATIONS.

AMONG OUR TOP TEN, SOME NOTABLE INCREASES INCLUDED LAS VEGAS, HOUSTON, DENVER, DENVER, NASHVILLE.

PHOENIX. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. OF COURSE, OUR TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH FROM DFW.

Q1 GROWTH HAS POSITIONED US FOR A VERY STRONG Q2.

YOU'VE BEEN SEEING THAT WITH ALL OF THE STATISTICS THAT WE'VE BEEN SHARING.

ALSO VERY STRONG SUMMER, AS DON REPORTED RECENTLY.

OUR EMPLOYMENTS IN JULY REACHED OVER 10,000. IT WAS A 16% YEAR OVER YEAR GROWTH.

STRONG 88% LOAD FACTOR, DON JUST SHARED. SO ALL OF THOSE ARE VERY GOOD THINGS.

WE ARE DEFINITELY SEEING THAT IN THE TERMINAL AS FAR AS OUR MARKETING AND ADVERTISING.

[00:10:03]

LAURIE, YOU REFERENCED THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE ARE TRYING TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE FARES THAT WE'RE SEEING, ABOUT THE TRAFFIC WE'RE SEEING, ABOUT OUR ONGOING CONVERSATIONS WITH AIRLINES, BILLBOARDS AND DIGITAL ADS.

YOU KNOW, THAT THOSE ARE PROGRAMED TO RUN THROUGH SEPTEMBER.

THOSE ARE ALL FEATURING, YOU KNOW, MORE ICONIC EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, YOU KNOW, YEAR LONG DESTINATIONS WITH SOME REALLY COLORFUL IMAGES DIGITAL SIGNAGE AND ADVERTISING IN THE TERMINAL.

WE'VE GOT CURRENT ROTATIONS FEATURING CITY EVENTS.

WE'VE GOT AIRSTRIP ATTACK UPCOMING THERE IN OCTOBER.

THAT'LL BE REALLY EXCITING. WE'RE REALLY PUSHING THAT ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES.

WE'VE GOT TSA PRECHECK THAT IS HAPPENING NOW, AND THOSE APPOINTMENTS OPENED UP PRETTY LATE, UNFORTUNATELY. BUT WE ARE STILL WE ARE SEEING SOME SOME GOOD ATTENDANCE SO FAR WITH ABOUT I THINK IT WAS 69 OR SO APPOINTMENTS ON MONDAY, 62 TUESDAY. AND WE'LL WE'LL GET THAT REPORT FROM TODAY AND THE REST OF THE WEEK.

OUR LAST EVENT WE HAD 350 APPLICATIONS PROCESSED.

SO I THINK THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD. SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO ACHIEVE THAT AGAIN THIS WEEK.

WE ALSO, AS YOU KNOW, HAVE AN ADVERTISING SALES AGENCY RFP OUT.

LAST WEEK WE HAD THE PRE PROPOSAL MEETING HAD A COUPLE OF INTERESTED PARTIES.

A PART OF THAT MEETING TODAY WAS THE DEADLINE FOR ANY QUESTIONS WRITTEN WRITTEN QUESTIONS TO SEND TO DON.

AND THEN ALL PROPOSALS ARE DUE TO CITY HALL AUGUST 23RD.

SO THAT THAT'S ALSO ON THE HORIZON THERE. LAST THING I'LL BE REPORTING ABOUT IS OUR WEBSITE.

WE'VE MADE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE WEBSITE, REALLY TRYING TO FUTURE THAT FUTURE.

PROOF THAT FOR A WHILE GET THAT IN A REALLY GOOD PLACE BECAUSE THAT WEBSITE IS AN IMPORTANT RESOURCE.

SO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PAGE IS UP, AND WE'RE DOING SOME FINAL TEXT REVIEW OF THAT PAGE AND OF THE REST OF THE SITE.

SO I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. OTHERWISE I'LL KICK IT BACK TO DON.

ALL RIGHT. SUPER. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO REALLY NOTHING ELSE ON LAND DEVELOPMENT? I'LL MAKE A BRIEF MENTION OF A STRATEGY WHEN WE'RE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

FOR ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AREAS AND THEN OUR STAFFING WE'RE STILL SEARCHING FOR.

WE'VE GOT A VACANT VACANCY FOR ONE OF OUR OPERATIONS OFFICERS.

SO I THINK WE'RE GETTING READY TO CLOSE THAT AT THE END OF THIS WEEK AND GO THROUGH THE SELECTION PROCESS AFTER THAT.

[4. Discussion and Action to Recommend Acceptance of the FY 25 FAA AIP Entitlement Gran]

YEAH. SO FAA HAS GOTTEN INTO A MODE WHERE THE ISSUE THEIR FISCAL YEAR GRANTS ALMOST A YEAR BEHIND. WE USED TO GET THESE LIKE IN MARCH APRIL TIMEFRAME, BUT IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE THAT'S HAPPENED.

AND SO HERE WE ARE MID AUGUST AND WE'RE CONSIDERING THE FY 25 GRANT WHERE WE'RE IN FY 25.

AND THAT WILL END SEPTEMBER 30TH. RIGHT. SO WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGH THAT GRANT APPLICATION AND GETTING THAT DONE, GETTING THAT SUBMITTED TO FAA. AND WE ANTICIPATE AN AWARD PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT, POSSIBLY EVEN BEFORE THIS NEXT THE SEPTEMBER BOARD MEETING. SO IN ANTICIPATION OF THAT, AND THIS IS WHAT WE'VE DONE IN YEARS PAST, IS GO AHEAD AND GET PRE-APPROVAL FROM YOU GUYS.

AND THEN OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL FOR CITY COUNCIL TO GO AHEAD AND BRING IT TO COUNCIL BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GET THE GRANT AWARD FROM FAA.

SO THAT WAY THEY ALWAYS SAY, OKAY, I NEED THIS SIGNED WITHIN FIVE DAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHEN WE WHEN WE DO GET IT.

SO IT'S ALWAYS A RUSH. SO THAT WAY WE'RE READY TO GO WHEN THEY SEND THAT TO US.

SO THIS IS OUR FY 25 ENTITLEMENT AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GRANT OR AIP GRANT.

THE ENTITLEMENT PORTION OF THAT MEANS THAT THAT IS A FORMULA BASED GRANT.

AND IT'S IT'S BASED ON OUR PASSENGER IN PAYMENTS FROM TWO YEARS PRIOR, TWO YEARS AGO.

SO WE IS PRETTY MUCH A FIXED AMOUNT. AND WE KNOW SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN KIND OF PLAN FOR.

AS OPPOSED TO A DISCRETIONARY GRANT, WHICH WE HAVE TO GO OUT AND COMPETE FOR.

BUT THIS IS COMING TO US AS AN ENTITLEMENT BECAUSE OF THE PASSENGER AND PAYMENTS.

HERE IT IS FROM THE TICKET TAXES, TAXES THAT PASSENGERS PAY INTO THE SYSTEM AND PROVIDES THIS GRANT FUNDING FOR THIS GRANT

[00:15:02]

WE DID NOT TAKE OUR FY 24 GRANT AS PART OF OUR FUNDING STRATEGY FOR THE TERMINAL PROJECT.

SO WE WILL COMBINE FY 24 WITH FY 25. THAT WILL GET US THIS YEAR'S AMOUNT OF $2,463,724 FROM THE FAA. THAT WILL REQUIRE A 5% MATCH FROM THE CITY OF $129,670. THAT 5% IS USUALLY A 10% MATCH. BUT LAST YEAR IN THE FY 24 OR IN THE 2024 FAA REAUTHORIZATION, CONGRESS INCLUDED A CHANGE TO THE MATCH REQUIREMENT FOR SMALLER AIRPORTS LIKE ABILENE FROM 10% TO 5% FOR TWO YEARS. FY 25 AND FY 26. THAT WAS GREAT TIMING FOR US BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME WE'VE GOT A PRETTY EXPENSIVE PROJECT COMING UP OVER THOSE NEXT TWO YEARS OR THESE TWO YEARS. SO WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AS ALL AS BEST WE CAN.

SO AGAIN THIS IS THIS IS TO YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL TO TAKE ON THIS GRANT WHEN IT'S AWARDED TO US AGAIN, $24. NOW THAT IS GOING TO FUND THE AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIREFIGHTING TRUCK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO CONSIDER NEXT. IT WILL ALSO FUND THE TERMINAL EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN TASK ORDER ONE AMENDMENT WITH PARK HILL. YOU'VE ALREADY APPROVED THAT TO GO TO COUNCIL.

AND COUNCIL APPROVED THAT BACK IN MAY. THAT WAS AN ADDITIONAL 1 MILLION.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT AMOUNT, BUT IT BROUGHT THE TOTAL OF THE DESIGN PACKAGE UP TO JUST SHY OF $4 MILLION.

IT WILL ALSO FUND A OUR IMPLEMENTATION, OUR CAPITAL IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES CONTRACT WITH HUTCHINSON GRO.

THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE HELPING US PUT TOGETHER THE FUNDING PACKAGE FOR THIS TERMINAL PROJECT, BECAUSE IT IS VERY COMPLICATED, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I NEED SOMEBODY WHO HAS THAT EXPERIENCE, HAVING WORKED FOR FAA. BRAD HUTCHINS AND HE UNDERSTANDS THE AIP PROCESS AND HAS CAN JUST HELP ME WITH PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER.

THAT IS $90,000. WE'VE HAD THAT CONTRACT WITH THEM SINCE 2023.

THIS WILL REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR THAT $90,000 COST.

95% OF IT. THE FINAL ITEM INCLUDED IN THIS GRANT IS GOING TO BE A PAVEMENT CONDITION STUDY FOR BOTH OF OUR RUNWAYS THAT FAA IS REQUIRING US TO HAVE AND HAVE IT COMPLETED BY NOVEMBER, AND THAT IS FOR $10,800.

SO PRETTY SMALL AMOUNT. IT'S A SMALL STUDY, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DO TO CHECK A BOX WITH FAA.

SO IT WILL FUND ALL FOUR OF THOSE ITEMS. AGAIN, WITHIN THE THE BUDGET OF THIS GRANT AND PROBABLY WE'LL HAVE SOME LEFTOVER. WE WILL HAVE SOME LEFTOVER. I JUST DON'T KNOW THE EXACT AMOUNT YET TO GO AGAIN BACK INTO.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO REPROGRAM IT INTO THE TERMINAL PROJECT, INTO THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE OF IT.

WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT. ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND ACCEPTANCE OF THE FY 25 FFA APE ENTITLEMENT GRANT.

HAVE A MOTION. MOTION. JAMES. OKAY. MARK. ALL RIGHT.

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSED. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ITEM FIVE.

[5. Discussion and Action to Recommend Approval of the Purchase of an Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting Truck.]

YES. SO THIS IS. THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED.

THIS IS A AS FAR AS THE PURCHASE GOES. SO WE PUT OUT A BID FOR AN AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIREFIGHTING TRUCK AND CALLED AN INDEX B TRUCK, WHICH IS A 1500 GALLON TRUCK. IT IS TO MEET THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENT FOR COVERAGE ON THE AIRPORT BASED ON THE AIRCRAFT SIZE THAT SERVE THE AIRPORT, THE COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT SIZE.

SO THIS REPLACES A 2002 MODEL TRUCK. AND WE HAVE ANOTHER TRUCK THAT'S A 2013 MODEL TRUCK.

AND IT'S STILL WORKING WELL, BUT WE NEED WE DEFINITELY NEED TO REPLACE THIS.

AND WE'VE PROGRAMED THIS INTO THIS GRANT. ACTUALLY REPROGRAMED IT AT TWO YEARS AGO, BUT WE DIDN'T EXERCISE THAT PURCHASE BACK THEN BECAUSE THE

[00:20:09]

GET GETTING INTO DRINKING WATER AND GROUNDWATER.

SO THE THE FOAM THAT WE CURRENTLY USE BY FAA CONTAINS PFAS.

AND SO FAA HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE.

WE WERE WAITING ON THAT ALTERNATIVE TO BE APPROVED BEFORE PURCHASING THIS NEW TRUCK.

SO THAT WAY WE MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IN THAT TRUCK IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW TYPE OF FOAM.

SO WE'VE GOT THAT SQUARED AWAY AND WE USE NOW WE BID THIS TRUCK AND WE GOT TWO BIDS, ONE FROM OSHKOSH AND ONE FROM ROSENBAUER. THE BASE BID FROM OSHKOSH WAS $1,029,194.

THE BASE BID FROM ROSENBAUER WAS $1,054,453. WELL, WE ALSO AS AS YOU TYPICALLY FIND WELL, THERE'S THERE'S SOME WE ASKED FOR SOME ALTERNATE BID ITEMS. JUST PRICING ON THAT. WE DID CHOOSE TO UP AN OPTION THAT WILL ADD NOZZLES UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED IF FUEL FROM AN AIRCRAFT FIRE OR FIRE ITSELF STARTS FLOWING UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK.

THE TRUCK GOES OVER FUEL OR FIRE, AND THAT PUTS THAT OUT SO IT KEEPS THE TRUCK FROM CATCHING ON FIRE.

WE GOT PRICING FOR BOTH FROM BOTH COMPANIES ON THAT AS AN AS AN OPTION.

WE DO WANT TO SELECT THAT. WE ALSO ASKED FOR A PRE-PAYMENT DISCOUNT.

WE ASKED BOTH WE WE ASKED THE BIDDERS TO PROVIDE A DISCOUNT IF YOU PREPAID.

THE REASON WHY IT DID THIS IS WE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A LONG LEAD TIME, A LONG DELIVERY TIME FOR THIS TRUCK.

WE KNEW IT'S GOING TO BE AT LEAST A YEAR AND A HALF BASED ON WHAT I'M HEARING IN THE INDUSTRY.

SO IF WE PREPAID THAT, THEN THE COMPANY THAT WE SELECT GETS THE MONEY UP FRONT.

WE DRAW THAT MONEY DOWN FROM OUR GRANT. SO WE'RE PERFORMING FOR THE FAA FOR THE GRANT.

AND THEN WE HAVE PROTECTION THROUGH A PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE BOND FROM THAT COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LOSE OUR MONEY.

SO THAT WAY, IF THAT COMPANY FILED BANKRUPTCY, WE'D STILL GET A TRUCK OR WE GET OUR MONEY BACK.

SO FAA HAS VERBALLY SAID, YES, YOU CAN DO THIS PREPAY, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. AND I SAID, WELL, I NEED IT IN WRITING.

AND SO THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT. SO UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT FOR TODAY'S MEETING.

HOWEVER, I DO NEED BOARD APPROVAL BY THE TIME WE TAKE IT TO COUNCIL, WHICH I PLAN TO DO THAT ON AUGUST 28TH.

WE'LL HAVE THAT RECOMMENDATION, THAT APPROVAL FROM FAA IN WRITING.

BUT SO TODAY I NEED BASICALLY TWO ACTIONS, STANLEY.

AND THIS IS NEWS TO YOU, STANLEY, BECAUSE THIS JUST HAPPENED THIS AFTERNOON. SO WHY IT WAS LATE? SO STOP ME IF IF. IF I MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE.

YES. YEAH. WE CHALLENGE HIM EVERY NOW AND THEN.

SO IF WE GET APPROVAL FOR THE DISCOUNT, THE PREPAID DISCOUNT, THEN WE WILL GO WITH ROSENBAUER AT A PRICE OF $958,113. IF WE DON'T GET APPROVAL FROM FAA, WE WILL HAVE TO GO WITH OSHKOSH AT A BID AMOUNT OF 970.

I'M SORRY. LET ME LET ME BACK THAT UP. IF WE GET APPROVAL.

YES. IF WE GET APPROVAL FROM FAA FOR THE PREPAY DISCOUNT, IT WILL BE $958,113 WITH ROSENBAUER. IF WE DON'T GET THAT APPROVAL FROM FAA, WE'LL GO WITH OSHKOSH BID OF. HANG ON, I'VE HAD THAT WRITTEN DOWN, BUT I GOTTA DO AT ABOUT 1,052,000.

WELL IT HANG ON, HANG ON. I'M SORRY. REAL REAL QUICK.

I GOTTA CHECK SOMETHING. MATH ON THE FLY IS NOT MY STRONG POINT.

[00:25:06]

THAT'S WHAT I HAD TO. THAT'S THE MATH I HAD TO CHECK.

SO THAT INCLUDES THE OPTION FOR THE TURRETS, THE UNDERBELLY TURRETS.

BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DISCOUNT, THE PRE-PAID DISCOUNT.

SO WITHOUT THE DISCOUNT OSHKOSH IS OUR LOW BIDDER WITH THE DISCOUNT.

ROSENBAUER IS THE LOW BIDDER. DOES THAT INCLUDE THE SAME OPTION? THAT RIGHT. IT INCLUDES THE UNDERBELLY TURRETS TOO.

YES. WHAT WAS THE DISCOUNT FOR? WAS IT THEIR DISCRETION TO GIVE US A PERCENTAGE OF DISCOUNT OR WAS IT AN ASK? NO I ASKED. WE ASKED DO YOU PROVIDE A DISCOUNT? IF SO, HOW MUCH? AND EACH PROVIDED THE DISCOUNT THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE THAT THEY WOULD OFFER.

OKAY. SO MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO THIS IS DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER ROSENBAUER TRUCKS IN OUR FLEET.

WE DO NOT. SO WE DO NOT. AND AFD ABILENE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT.

HOWEVER, DYESS AIR FORCE BASE DOES WITH THEIR AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIREFIGHTING TRUCKS.

THEY HAVE AT LEAST ONE OVER THERE. THAT'S A ROSENBAUER.

WHAT IS. WHAT IS OUR FLEET? OUR FIRE TRUCK FLEET REPRESENT AS FAR AS BRANDS E-1 OSHKOSH ON THE AIRPORT. THOSE ARE THE TWO TRUCKS THAT WE HAVE.

AND THEN AFD I THINK HAS OSHKOSH. THEY MAY HAVE PIERCE.

I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'VE GOT ANYTHING DIFFERENT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE ANOTHER A NEW BRAND.

AND I WONDER ABOUT. FIVE YEARS FROM NOW WHEN WE ARE HAVING REPLACED X AND THERE WE ARE NOT ONLY GOING TO HAVE TO STOCK BECAUSE WE WANT A QUICK FIX, BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET IT TO US IN A TIMELY MANNER.

NOBODY EVER DOES. SO THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO STOCK X BRAND AND X.

NOW WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT BRANDS THAT WE'RE GOING TO.

WE'RE STRATEGY IS JUST TO REMOVE ONE. SO WE STILL HAVE JUST TWO.

SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE E ONE UNIT THE 2013 E ONE.

THE E ONE IS THAT THAT'S THE OH THAT'S THE ONE BEING REPLACED.

YEAH. SO, SO WE'LL HAVE TWO ICE CACHES. WELL WELL WELL OKAY.

WE HAVE AN ICE CACHE NOW RIGHT. WE HAVE AN E ONE NOW.

THE E ONE IS THE ONE BEING REPLACED. RIGHT. SO HAS THERE BEEN CONSIDERATION ON.

MAINTAINING THAT SAME BRANDING WITH PARTS AND WITH TRAINING AND STAFF.

AND WE. YES, WE'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION. HOWEVER, THAT CANNOT BE PART OF THE CONSIDERATION OF THIS BID.

BID IS BASED SOLELY ON PRICE. AND THAT IS, THAT'S WE WE CANNOT CONSIDER.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT. WE'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION AS A STAFF AND WITH AFD, I'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION WITH THE FIRE CHIEF.

RIGHT. BUT WE CANNOT CONSIDER THAT AS PART OF THE AWARD.

WHO SETS THAT? IS THAT AN FAA MANDATE BASED ON THE FUNDING OF THE FAA SAYS YOU HAVE TO BASE YOU YOU HAVE TO DO IT, BUT IT'S ALSO STATE LAW. RIGHT. SO THIS THIS IS A THIS IS GO AHEAD.

YEAH. IT'S STATE LAW I'LL SAY.

AWESOME. FOR AN EQUIPMENT PURCHASE LIKE THIS, THERE ARE OTHER PURCHASING SCENARIOS WHERE WE CAN DO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, WHERE WE CAN CONSIDER THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT FOR AN EQUIPMENT BID LIKE THIS, WE CAN'T DO THAT.

HAVE YOU HAVE YOU GONE BACK TO OSHKOSH AND ASKED FOR DEEPER DISCOUNTS? WE CAN'T CONSIDER IT. WE HAVE TO TAKE WHAT WAS PRESENTED, WHAT WAS BID, A BID TO US.

WE CAN'T CHANGE THEIR BID. THEY CAN'T CHANGE THEIR BID.

AND INFLUENCE THEIR PRICING IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT WHAT THEY PRESENTED TO US ON JULY 25TH AT 2 P.M..

WE WE CAN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING. WE CAN ASK FOR CLARIFICATION BECAUSE THE BID CLOSED.

[00:30:04]

IT'S A SEALED BID AND VIA. WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE.

SO IS THE PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE BOND PART OF THE PRICING? YES. THEY THEY THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THAT BID PACKAGE.

OKAY. WHY WOULD THE FAA NOT ALLOW THAT DISCOUNT? THEY HAVE VERBALLY SAID THEY THEY WERE. THEY JUST WANT TO CONFIRM VERBALLY.

THEY SAID YES, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER RUN ACROSS THAT IN THEIR 20 YEARS OF WORKING IN AP GRANT WORLD.

NO OTHER AIRPORT THAT THEY KNOW OF HAS EVER ASKED FOR THAT BEFORE.

GOOD JOB. THANKS. YEAH. WAY TO STIR THE POT HERE.

YOU KNOW, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE MY CHEAPNESS. YEAH.

YOU'VE MY FRUGALITY. YOU'VE YOU'VE GONE TO NEW LOW LEVELS.

SO LET ME LET ME JUST KIND OF CALCULATE THIS A LITTLE BIT.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT ROSENBAUER WAS AT THIS PRICE AND THEN WHAT THEY DID WAS BASED ON THEIR DISCOUNT. IT WAS X AND OSHKOSH GAVE US A PRICE AND THEN THEIR DISCOUNT WAS X.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE I MEAN WHAT IS THE NET GAIN IN NET SAVINGS ON THOSE? I MEAN, IF IT'S WITH THE DISCOUNTED PRICE ON BOTH OF THOSE.

WELL, WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE DEALING WITH HYPOTHETICALS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING US TO APPROVE OR TO CONCEDE TO A, A PROJECT THAT THE FFA, I MEAN, THE FAA IS IN NO MAN'S LAND ON.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE A LITTLE BIT ON THAT A LITTLE BIT.

AND THAT THAT WASN'T THE INTENTION. SURE. UNTIL TODAY.

AND I HAD TWO PEOPLE IN THE FAA REGION ON THE CALL TODAY BECAUSE OUR PROGRAM MANAGER SAID, LET ME GO GRAB SOMEBODY WHEN WE ASK THE QUESTION.

SO HE GOT SOMEBODY ELSE IN THERE. BOTH OF THEM SAID, YES, WE THINK YOU CAN DO THIS.

AND I SAID, I NEED IT IN WRITING. AND THEY SAID, LET'S, LET'S RUN THAT BY SOMEBODY ELSE AND WE'LL GET BACK AND GET IT BACK TO YOU.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET IT APPROVED. RIGHT NOW THEY GIVE.

THEY GAVE. NO. YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T I'M 95% SURE.

BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YEAH. AND THAT'S I GUESS YOU KNOW MY THE THE NET NUMBER IS WE'RE GOING TO FLIP THE SCRIPT ON THIS THING COMPLETELY. IF THEY DON'T COME BACK AND SAY, YES, YOU CAN DO THAT.

THEY'RE GOING TO THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO ROSENBAUER AND, AND, AND AND GO WITH THAT PRICE OR.

NO. OSHKOSH. OSHKOSH. RIGHT. YEAH. SO NOW YOU'VE GOT YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO IS BECAUSE I KNOW I'M THROWING YOU A CURVEBALL IS.

WE CAN TABLE THIS TO SEPTEMBER, AND WE WILL HAVE CLARIFICATION FROM FAA BY THEN.

I THINK TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, JAMES, IS THAT IT WAS 100 AND OR ONE 1,032,000 WITH OSHKOSH AND ABOUT 958 OR SO WITH ROSENBAUER. SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

YEAH. BECAUSE IF, BECAUSE IF THE FFA DOESN'T OR THE FAA DOESN'T APPROVE THAT, THEN WE'RE 1,032,000 RIGHT.

IS WHERE WE'RE AT. RIGHT. ABOUT 80 80,000 78,000.

YEAH. YOU'RE LESS THAN. YEAH. YOU'RE LESS THAN 80.

YEAH YEAH YEAH. AND I ALWAYS I MEAN I ALWAYS LOOK AT THAT LIKE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME PAIN POINTS DOWN THE LINE ON PARTS AVAILABILITY AND I, I DON'T.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE KNOWLEDGE IN A LOT OF THESE FIRE TRUCKS ANYWAY, BECAUSE I KIND OF CAME FROM THAT INDUSTRY.

BUT I DON'T SUSPECT ROSENBAUER IS GOING TO GO BANKRUPT, NOR DO I SUSPECT OSHKOSH IS EVER GOING TO GO BANKRUPT.

BUT I ALWAYS LOOK AT THIS THING AS THERE'S GOING TO BE A PAIN THRESHOLD THAT WE ARE WE ARE GOING TO TURN AROUND IN 5 TO 8 YEARS AND GO, MAN, I WISH WE HAD A FORK. SOMEONE'S GOING TO LOOK AT US AND GO, YOU KNOW, FOR 77,000 YOU WENT WITH THIS. AND I KNOW, I KNOW WHAT THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT ARE AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I JUST I REALLY CAUTIONED. OPERATING IN DIFFERENT BRANDING BECAUSE OF BECAUSE OF THE AFTER THE, AFTER SALE OF THE PRODUCT, ALL OF THE AFTERMARKET PARTS AND THE ABILITY AND ALL THAT STUFF.

[00:35:06]

OKAY. WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, AGAIN, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN CONSIDER IN THIS PURCHASE.

EVEN IF, YOU KNOW, FAA COMES BACK AND SAYS, YES, YOU CAN DO THIS.

WE STILL HAVE THEN THEN WE HAVE TO TAKE ROSENBAUER BID.

WHY DIDN'T WE GET ANY OTHER BIDS ON THIS JUST TO WHAT SEEMS SO THE OTHER BIG PLAYER IN THIS IS E1 AND E1 AND I'VE BEEN HEARING THIS FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW, HAS A VERY LARGE DOD CONTRACT RIGHT NOW FOR AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIREFIGHTING TRUCKS.

SO I THINK THEIR CAPACITY IS FULLY TAKEN UP WITH THAT.

AND THAT'S WHAT I EXPECTED GOING INTO THIS. YEAH, I HAD HEARD LIKE I SAID, I'VE HEARD THAT FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

YEAH. THEY DO HAVE A LARGE CONTRACT WITH THE GOVERNMENT.

I DO KNOW THAT. BUT SO SIMPLY PUT EITHER WAY, BASED ON THE CONSTRAINTS OF IT'S JUST BASED ON THE PRICE. RIGHT. SO THERE'S REALLY NOTHING FOR US TO CONSIDER OTHER THAN TO APPROVE THE MOTION TO RECOMMEND PURCHASE OF A TRUCK, WHATEVER THAT IS. CORRECT. RIGHT. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, AND AND BUT WE HAVE HAD THAT DISCUSSION, SEAN, AND I'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION. I'VE HAD A SIMILAR DISCUSSION WITH THE FIRE CHIEF ABOUT BEING ABLE TO TO SERVICE A ROSENBAUER, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN USE AS A, AS A DECISION POINT FOR THIS.

RIGHT. NO, I, I UNDERSTAND I MEAN I SO DOES THAT 75 OR $8000.

GO BACK INTO THIS PROJECT. IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT? GOES BACK TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT, RIGHT? IT'S MONEY THAT WE WILL NOT SPEND FOR THE HALF TRUCK, BUT IT COULD GO TO THE TERMINAL PROJECT ULTIMATELY.

SO IT'S NOT DEDICATED FUNDS. WE HAVE TO SPECIFICALLY USE THAT MONEY FOR THE ART.

THESE THESE FUNDS ARE OURS. HOW WE USE THEM. IT GOES INTO THESE FOUR PROJECTS.

OKAY. IF AT THE END OF THE LIFE OF THE GRANT IN FOUR YEARS, WE HAVEN'T USED EVERYTHING.

THEY'LL REPROGRAM IT AND ROLL IT INTO THE NEXT YEAR'S ARP GRANT IN 2029.

YES, CINDY. OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIREFIGHTING TRUCK AS YOU HAVE PRESENTED IT TO US WITH THOSE PRICES. OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? ARE WE LIMITED TO THOSE PRICES ON THAT MOTION OR IS THAT OKAY? YEAH, IT'S EITHER OSHKOSH AT THE BID PRICE THAT I READ OUT.

SO WE KNOW THE NUMBERS. WE DO KNOW THE NUMBERS.

YES. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF MAKING IT TYING FAA DOWN TO THEIR VERBAL COMMITMENT TODAY OR VERBAL APPROVAL TODAY.

ALL RIGHT. THERE IS A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF AN AIRCRAFT RESCUE FIREFIGHTING TRUCK.

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND DISCUSSION ON THAT.

I KNOW IT WAS MOVING ON. COMPLICATED. MUCH MORE COMPLICATED THAN I WANTED TO BRING TO Y'ALL, BUT ARE WE READY FOR ITEM SIX? WE GOT TO KEEP THIS MOVING.

[6. Discussion on Key Features of the Terminal Expansion and Improvements Design.]

YEAH. SO. ALL RIGHT, WELL, IF YOU'RE READY FOR ITEM SIX, I'M READY FOR ITEM SIX.

SO I'M HERE TO GIVE THE BOARD ANOTHER LOOK AT THE TERMINAL DESIGN AS WE HAVE IT TODAY.

AND THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GETTING READY TO PUT A AN RFQ, A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK. AND THAT IS WHERE WE BRING A CONTRACTOR ON TO HELP IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AND TO ASSIST US IN THE CONSTRUCTION ABILITY OF THE PROJECT. MATERIAL AVAILABILITY.

IT IS THERE IS NO WAY YOU WOULD GET ME TO COMMIT THAT IT IS CHEAPER.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE, BUT IT IT ACTUALLY HELPS THE PROJECT ONCE CONSTRUCTION STARTS.

IT HELPS IT GO FASTER IN MY OPINION, BASED ON WHAT I'VE HEARD, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER DONE A CMR SEEMA BEFORE, BUT COLIN HAS GOT SOME EXPERIENCE WITH THAT WITH OTHER CITY PROJECTS, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH CITY STAFF TO

[00:40:08]

AND IT IS SOMETHING IT'S A NEW PROCESS FOR THE FAA.

THEY STARTED ALLOWING THIS ABOUT 7 OR 8 YEARS AGO, BRINGING US SEEMA ON.

AND WE'LL LET I LET COLIN EXPLAIN THAT PROCESS A LITTLE BIT MORE TO YOU.

WE'LL WE WILL BE BRINGING A SEEMA CONTRACT TO YOU GUYS.

MAYBE OCTOBER. WE'LL SEE. BUT TO GET THEM ON BOARD.

BUT TODAY IS REALLY TO FOCUS ON THE FEATURES OF THE TERMINAL.

YOU'VE SEEN THE DESIGN, THE RENDERINGS THAT WE'VE HAD ONLINE.

WE BROUGHT THIS TO YOU BEFORE, JUST IN GENERAL.

BUT I WANT TO JUST TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T WANT THERE TO BE ANY SURPRISES.

OH, WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE AIRLINE TICKET COUNTERS WERE GOING TO GO DOWNSTAIRS, OR WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A RESTAURANT IN THE TERMINAL, OR WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE ESCALATORS WERE GOING TO GO AWAY.

BUT. ANYWAY. SO YEAH, IF YOU CAN BRING THAT UP.

SO I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO COLIN TO YOU CAN DRIVE IT.

OH, I GOT IT. SO LET HIM GET STARTED ON. I'VE GOT A LOG BACK INTO THIS, SO GIVE ME A SECOND.

YES. THERE ARE SOME GREAT GRAPHICS IN HERE I'M GOING TO SKIP ON TO.

SOMETHING. VERY. IMPORTANT AWAY FROM.

THOSE THINGS DOWN TO THE LOWER LEVEL. AND PART OF THAT IS DUE TO EXPANSION IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR MORE RENTAL CAR SPACE, MORE AIRLINE TICKETING SPACE. BUT REALLY, THAT IS MOVEMENT INSIDE TO ALLOW FOR A SECURITY CHECKPOINT TO EXPAND.

SO WE HAVE MORE SPACE THERE AND ALSO FOR THE HOLD ROOM.

SO EVERYTHING COMES BACK TO THE HOLD ROOM AND NEEDING MORE SPACE THERE, AND IT ALL JUST PUSHES NORTH.

SO ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING YOU WILL NOW HAVE A SINGLE LEVEL DROP OFF.

AND WHEN YOU COME UP ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THERE'S THE AIRPORT.

AND THEN THERE WILL BE A CANOPY OVER ABOVE THAT, SO THAT IF YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF THE RAIN AND IT'S A SUBTLE, NICE, GENTLE RAIN WHICH WE GET IN WEST TEXAS.

HOPEFULLY YOU'RE NOT GETTING TOO MUCH RAIN ON YOU, BUT THAT IS MORE EFFICIENT THAN PLANNING FOR A WORST CASE SCENARIO.

JUST THE FIVE INCH DOWNPOUR IN THE AFTERNOON.

WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN TO PROTECT PEDESTRIANS AND CUSTOMERS AS THEY COME UP TO THE AIRPORT.

BUT AS YOU ARRIVE THERE WITH THE TERRORIST SEEDING OR TERRORIST LEVEL RIGHT NOW, THE CONCRETE BAND THAT'S UP THERE THAT SEPARATES THE LOWER LEVEL TO THE UPPER LEVEL, THAT WILL BECOME TERRORIST LANDSCAPING, TRYING TO NOT DO A WHOLE LOT OF TREES, BUT MORE NATURAL LANDSCAPING, SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY EFFICIENT, EASY TO WATER, EASY TO MAINTAIN AS YOU GO TO THE NEXT PAGE.

THIS STARTS TO SHOW THE ENTIRE FIRST FLOOR, AND IT IS COLOR CODED, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT EACH SPACE IS AND WHAT ITS FUNCTION AND PLAN IS FOR THE FUTURE.

AND PART OF THAT IS REALLY THE INITIAL PHASE IS AS WE'RE LOOKING AT NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING COMES ON LINE WITH THE CMR, WHAT IS MOST EFFICIENT FOR OUR FUNCTION AND PHASING PROCESS.

EVENTUALLY WE WILL GET TO DO THE BAGGAGE HANDLING BAGGAGE CLAIM AREA.

HOWEVER, THAT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE AN IMMEDIATE PHASE, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AT SOME POINT.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE NORTH SIDE, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE REVOLVING DOORS COMING IN THE BIG CIRCLES UP THERE.

WE'LL KEEP A STANDARD VESTIBULE AS WELL. AND THEN WHEN YOU COME IN ON THE EAST SIDE IS CHECK.

CHECK IN. AND THERE AIRLINE TICKETING OFFICES.

AND THEN BEHIND THEM WILL BE BAGGAGE HANDLING SYSTEMS. SO AFTERWARDS YOU CAN JUST TAKE THAT BAG. IT GOES THROUGH SECURITY AND THEN IT MIGRATES TO THE PLANE.

ON THE WEST SIDE IS THE RENTAL CAR SPACES. AND SO WHAT WE WERE WORKING ON CURRENTLY IS TRYING TO ENSURE THAT AMERICAN AIRLINES, OR WHOEVER THE AIRLINE IS, HAS THE SAME AMOUNT OF SPACE OR A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE.

SO THAT IS A CHANGE THAT YOU WILL SEE PROBABLY FROM THIS VERSION TO A NEXT VERSION AT SOME POINT, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT AIRLINES ARE GETTING THE SAME AMOUNT OF SPACE FOR THEIR CURRENT LEASE AGREEMENTS.

AS YOU WALK IN, THE AIRLINES ARE ON THE LEFT.

[00:45:01]

WE LOVE THOSE. RIGHT? SO YOU CAN TAKE THE ELEVATOR UP, OR YOU CAN TAKE A RAMP DOWN OR A SET OF STAIRS UP ON THE LEFT. IF YOU WERE TO STAY ON THE LOWER LEVEL, SAME AS WHAT IS CURRENTLY OUT THERE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE BAGGAGE HANDLING SYSTEM STILL ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OR THE EAST SIDE.

PART OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE REDOING ALL OF THE AGING MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT.

SO WE'VE GOT BOILERS CHILLERS THAT ALL NEED REPLACEMENT.

THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF ACCESS CONTROL POINTS THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED.

SO THE WEST SIDE ON THE LOWER LEVEL THERE IS A MCR IS A MAIN COMMUNICATION ROOM.

AND THEN THERE'S A MECHANICAL ROOM. SO THERE WILL BE SIGNIFICANT PHASING THAT GOES INTO PLANNING AND WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH THE CMR TO ENSURE THAT THE AIRPORT HOPEFULLY IS ALWAYS BEING HEATED OR COOLED. YOU LOVE TO BE IN THAT CONCRETE BUILDING AND NO AC OR IT'S JUST REALLY, REALLY COLD DURING THE WINTER. SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE NOTED.

AND IT WILL BE TACKLED EVENTUALLY AS YOU PROCEED SOUTH ON THAT.

EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE BAGGAGE, BAGGAGE OFFICES.

WE'RE WORKING ON REPOSITIONING THOSE. CURRENTLY.

THAT REALLY GIVES THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO FOR EACH AIRLINE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE THERE.

AND THEN UNDER THE HOLD ROOM, WHICH IS CURRENTLY MECHANICAL SPACES, ELEVATOR EQUIPMENT, SPACES THAT WILL STILL BE ESSENTIALLY THE EXACT SAME IDEA AS WE'LL END UP WITH A LOT OF OTHER MECHANICAL SPACES, AND WE'RE RELOCATING OR MOVING AND ADDING TWO NEW ELEVATORS AS WELL, SO THAT WE HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN. SO THAT'S THE LOWER LEVEL.

I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE SECOND OR THE UPPER LEVEL.

THAT'S THE NEXT PAGE. COLIN, IS THIS A SINGLE ELEVATOR? WHICH ELEVATOR? THE ONE UP FRONT. IT IS PROBABLY A THREE STOP.

MEANING WHEN YOU COME IN, YOU'RE ON GROUND LEVEL, SO YOU'LL HAVE THAT STOP.

AND THEN IF YOU WENT DOWN THE RAMP, YOU'D HAVE A STOP ON THAT SIDE AS WELL.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE UPPER LEVEL AS FAR AS THE ELEVATORS.

THERE'S ONE IN THAT LOCATION. THERE'S TWO. RIGHT.

TWO DIFFERENT ELEVATORS, TWO IN THE PUBLIC SIDE, THE FREE SCREENING SIDE.

AND THEN TWO ON THIS SIDE, THE HARPER STREET.

OKAY. SO IN THE CENTER WHERE THE PLANE IS HANGING ABOVE THE STAIRWELL RIGHT NOW, THERE WOULD BE AN ELEVATOR THAT GOES APPROXIMATELY IN THAT LOCATION.

AND THEN ONE FURTHER NORTH WHERE THE EXISTING EXTERIOR ESCALATORS ARE.

YEAH. SO YOU'RE JUST TAKING OUT THOSE, REPLACE THEM WITH TUBES.

YEAH. OKAY. CAN I ASK A QUESTION BEFORE YOU LEAVE, TOO? SO YOU MENTIONED THE BAGGAGE HANDLING. YES. YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT EVENTUALLY.

EVENTUALLY. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO IF WE DID IT IN PHASE ONE, WHEN WE DO THE HOLD ROOM, WE WOULD THEN HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN LATER WHEN WE DO PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE.

SO THE GOAL IS TO DO IT DURING PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE.

OTHERWISE YOU SPEND THE MONEY TWICE TO DO IT.

OKAY. SO SO THIS THE PLAN, THE WAY THAT IT'S DRAWN.

THIS IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. THAT IS EVENTUALLY IT WILL LOOK SIMILAR TO THIS.

THE GOAL IS TO HAVE BAGGAGE HANDLING GO FROM THE AIRLINE TICKETING TO THE TUGS.

IT WON'T BE EXACTLY LIKE THIS. THIS IS THE WHOLE CONCEPT, THOUGH, IS HOW MUCH OF THIS CONCEPT WOULD YOU SAY WOULD CARRY THROUGH TO PHASE THREE? LIKE PERCENTAGE. IS IT LIKE 80% 90? OKAY. YEAH.

AND IT DEPENDS ON AS WE GET INTO DESIGN WHAT WORKS WELL OR WHAT EQUIPMENT CHANGES HAPPEN WITH INDUSTRY BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY IS ALWAYS CHANGING.

SURE, SURE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? FIRST FLOOR. LOWER LEVEL. I DO HAVE ONE. GO FOR IT.

SORRY, I'M LOADED WITH QUESTIONS. ELIZABETH, YOU HAD SOMEBODY HAD A SLIDE UP ON OUR SCREEN RIGHT BEFORE WHERE WE'RE AT.

THAT SHOWED AN OUTSIDE ELEVATION LOOK ON THE FRONT.

AND YOU MENTIONED COVERED, COVERED PICKUP AREA.

IS ARE WE PLANNING TO FAN THAT OUT LIKE THAT? LOOKS RIGHT THERE OR WHAT ARE WE DOING? BECAUSE I'VE, I'VE PICKED UP SOMEONE WHEN WE'RE HAVING TORRENTIAL RAINS.

AND OUR SITUATION RIGHT NOW IS HORRIBLE. SO ARE WE PLANNING TO I MEAN, EVERYBODY COMING OUT OF THEIR AIRPORTS GETTING DRENCHED? LITERALLY. YES. YOU CAN'T GO OUTSIDE WITHOUT GETTING DRENCHED.

SO WHAT? SO ARE WE GOING TO BUILD, LIKE, SOMETHING THIS LONG THAT FANS OUT WITH A CANOPY FOR PEOPLE TO STAND OUT AND WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO PICK UP? OR IS THAT INCLUDED IN THE PLANS, OR WHAT ARE WE THINKING THERE THAT'S IT'S CURRENTLY NOT INCLUDED AT THIS TIME. WHAT WE ARE PLANNING ON FOR CANOPY.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR FLOOR PLAN FROM THE WEST SIDE, THAT KIND OF PINK MAGENTA COLOR TO THE EAST SIDE, THAT ORANGE COLOR, THE WIDTH OF THE CANOPY WOULD BE ABOUT THAT WIDTH EXTENDING OVER PART OF THE DRIVE, NOT THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE DRIVE, BUT JUST PART OF IT.

[00:50:01]

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PHOTO WE'RE LOOKING AT. MAYBE THAT THAT WOULD CLARIFY FOR ME.

I THINK HE'S GOT IT. YOU'VE GOT THAT RIGHT. YEAH. YEAH.

HE'S. YEAH OKAY. THANKS. SO THIS WAS CONCEPTUALLY DONE.

WELL BACK IN NOVEMBER. AND AS THINGS DEVELOP THINGS LIKE HEY WELL CAN WE GET MORE EXTENDED CANOPY.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE LOOK AT THAT AND WE PUT THAT IN AS AN ADULT AND WE TRY TO WORK THROUGH THAT WITH THE CMR. THAT'S AN OPTION IF THAT'S REALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

I JUST THINK AS A CITY, I THINK WE OUGHT TO CONSIDER IT.

I MEAN, EVERY AIRPORT I GO TO HAS IT. I MEAN, WE DO.

SO. CURBSIDE. YEAH. YEAH. WE CAN WE CAN MAKE IT.

WE CAN. LIKE HE SAID, YOU CAN PUT IT A BIT ALTERNATE IN THERE WHERE WE GET PRICING TO DO THE WHOLE WIDTH OF THE BUILDING THAT YOU SEE FROM THE PINK SHADE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE OWNERSHIP.

THAT'S WHAT HE'S PLANNING TO DO NOW, THOUGH. RIGHT.

IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN IN THE PREVIOUS PAGE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE GRAY BOX OVERLAPS THE DRIVE SLIGHTLY.

YEP. THAT WOULD BE THE EXTENT EAST TO WEST AND SINGLE DRIVE WIDTH THAT WE WOULD BE COVERING AT THIS TIME.

BUT IF WE NEEDED TO ADD TO THE EAST OR TO THE WEST FOR EXTENDED CANOPY, CERTAINLY SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

I MEAN, THIS IS ONE PERSON'S OPINION, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH CONSIDERING AT LEAST LOOKING AT IT AND SEEING WHAT THAT MIGHT ADD.

YOU WOULD. YOU WOULD FOR SURE NOT WANT TO GO INTO THIS THING.

BUILD SOMETHING THAT IS ANOTHER 20% INADEQUATE FOR WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE, BECAUSE WHAT YOU HAVE IS YOU'RE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THESE SMALL VEHICLES LIKE, LIKE WE HAVE HERE PARKING EVERYWHERE TO GET UP IN THERE. AND THEY DON'T CARE. THEY DON'T CARE IF GRANDMOTHER IS BEHIND THEM OR NOT.

THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE BACK. THEY'RE CALLING.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE WHATEVER TIME THAT THEY WANT.

AND THERE'S PEOPLE IN THESE THINGS THAT NEED TO GET IN AND GET GOING AND GET THROUGH IT.

AND THEY WANT TO. I'M JUST SAYING YOU'RE YOU'RE GOING TO YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE A LOGJAM RIGHT HERE.

IF WE DON'T EXTEND SOME OF THIS COVERING OUT FOR PEOPLE TO TO GET IN AND OUT, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE VERY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS RECEPTIVE.

AND THE FALLBACK ON THIS IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, WE WE APPROVE THIS BOND AND WE GOT THIS IS WHAT WE GET.

I MEAN, YOU'RE HANDING OUT UMBRELLAS IN A HAILSTORM AND THAT'S NOT AN IDEA.

YOU JUST YOU GET YOU GET SOME NEGATIVITY RIGHT OFF THE BAT FOR IT.

I'D GO AS FAR TO SAY IT'S NOT EVEN JUST RAIN SHADE.

WELL, IT'S IT IS FLAT OUT HOT. YEAH. AND YOU'RE YOU HAVE NO COVER EXCEPT THIS BUILDING.

WELL, I'LL, I'LL. I WROTE IT DOWN. WE'LL LOOK AT INTEGRATING AND I THINK IT'S A REASONABLE CONSIDERATION, SO. I KNOW CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS ARE CONCEPTUAL AND THINGS CHANGE.

OKAY, I GET THAT, BUT WE'RE ALREADY WAY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THIS LOOK LIKE IN A CONCEPTUAL DRAWING IN NOVEMBER.

IT SOUNDS LIKE. RIGHT. BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE FAN CANOPY.

WE'RE. WELL, YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE'S NO CANOPY? THAT CANOPY IS SHOWING WHAT IS ON THE SITE PLAN RIGHT NOW.

IT MIGHT BE NICE TO KNOW MEASUREMENTS, YOU KNOW, LIKE THIS, THIS LOWER ROOF AND HOW FAR THAT IS? YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO DISTINGUISH WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S 30FT, 20FT, TEN FEET.

WOULD WOULD ENABLE US TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD STAND UNDER THAT AND NOT GET WET.

YEAH. I MEAN, AND I GUESS I'M CONFUSED BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME IS, IS WHAT WE HAVE IN A CANOPY IS THE WIDTH OF THE BUILDING.

AND THIS CLEARLY WHAT I'M LOOKING AT SHOWS SOMETHING IS THAT WIDER THAN THE WIDTH OF THE BUILDING OR IS THAT NOT WIDER? AM I SEEING THAT WRONG OR. I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A FISHEYE.

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THAT'S A BETTER OVERALL. THAT'S A BETTER VIEW RIGHT THERE.

YEAH. OKAY. SO THE, THE THE OUTDOOR CANOPY FOR SEATING IS WHERE THE CAR IS.

WELL THAT'S ALREADY ADEQUATE RIGHT. BUT BUT THE CANOPY.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. I'VE BEEN GOING TO THIS AIRPORT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, AND I CAN TELL YOU THERE'S NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE THAT GO OUTSIDE AND SAID ANOTHER SMOKERS DO. BUT AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO GET IN AND GET OUT.

YEAH. AND THAT'S THE MAIN THING IS, IS TO COVER.

OKAY. I WOULD EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT LOOKS VERY ESTHETICALLY PLEASING TO THE EYE.

[00:55:05]

SO THIS DESIGN IS THAT THAT AWNING COMING OUT OVER THE FIRST LANE WAS RIGHT UP AGAINST THE CLIFF.

IT WILL COMPLETELY COVER THAT FIRST LANE. OKAY.

OKAY. YOU'VE GOT THE CURBSIDE DROP OFF HERE AT THE CURB THAT IS COVERED WITH THIS EXTENDING FROM THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

SO WHERE THAT TRUCK IS ON THE LEFT, THAT THAT THAT'S COVERED.

WELL, YOU SEE THAT THE CAR THERE IN THE CORNER. YES.

YES. IF IT WAS MOVED UP ANOTHER 20FT OR SO, IT WOULD STILL BE COVERED BY THAT EXTENDED CANOPY.

OKAY. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I DON'T SEE. YEAH. ON THE OTHER VIEW, IT'S IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S.

WE'RE COVERING THE SIDEWALK. YEAH. THAT WAS THAT.

THAT'S BEEN OUR INTENT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. OKAY. COVER THAT.

OKAY. CURBSIDE DRIVEWAY. SINGLE LANE RIGHT HERE IN THE BUILDING.

AND THEN THAT. TO ME, THAT MAKES IT MORE. THAT MAKES IT A LOT BETTER, BECAUSE WE CAN RUN SOME CARS UP IN THERE, AND EVERYBODY CAN GET OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STAY THERE ANYWAY. WELL, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO STAY THERE. EVERYBODY KNOWS PEOPLE PARK THERE, SO KNOW THAT THAT'S BETTER.

YEAH. Y'ALL SAYING THAT THE PICKUP TRUCK OR THE BACK PART OF THE PICKUP TRUCK WOULD BE COVERED, RIGHT? YES. YES, YES. OKAY. YEAH. AND WE'RE DONE DOWN HERE.

RIGHT. SO THAT'S OBVIOUSLY SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER.

OKAY. I KNOW I LIKE DON'S CAR THERE. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CALL. YEAH. NOT A PROBLEM, MARK.

HAPPY TO HELP. TALK THROUGH IT. SO WHEN YOU SAID FROM PINK TO ORANGE, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING ON THE SLIDE THAT'S IN FRONT OF US RIGHT NOW.

YES. OKAY. GREAT. OKAY. SO THAT IS THE WIDTH.

AND THEN IT GOES TO THE CURB. AND THEN MORE SO THAT IT COVERS ONE WHOLE CAR OKAY.

YEAH. THAT'S THAT'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER FOR ME.

YEAH. AND THAT LOOKS GREAT THEN. YEAH I'M FULLY ON THAT.

I WANT TO TAKE THE CONSIDERATION THOUGH, OF EVEN EXTENDING FURTHER EAST AND WEST FOR ADDITIONAL CANOPY SPACE.

I MEAN, WE CAN INCLUDE THAT AND THINK ABOUT IT.

YEAH. SO THE PARKING IS GOING TO BE OUT HERE AND THERE WERE THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE.

WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE THE AWNINGS FOR THE COVERED PARKING AND THE PARKING LOT.

YEAH. WE'RE NOT TOUCHING ANYTHING THAT YOU SEE WHERE IT EXTENDS OUT AT THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING.

THAT'S THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THAT CURRENT CANCER CENTER.

YEAH. IT GOES AWAY OUT. SO WE'RE TRYING TO RECOVER WALKING IN OUR PARKING.

OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. IT'S A LOT BETTER EXPLAIN THAT WAY.

OKAY. SO GREAT JOB MARK. ANY MORE. NOPE. GOOD.

THANK YOU. I LIKE IT. I'LL TAKE THE HEAT. IT'S FINE.

SECOND FLOOR. SO, CAN YOU GO TO. THERE SHOULD BE AN INTERIOR SHOT THAT SHOWS THE FULL VOLUME AGAIN.

YEAH. SO ON THE SECOND FLOOR, WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN, THERE'S OPEN SPACE ON THE NORTH END AND THERE'S SOME MEZZANINE SPACE.

SO IN THIS IMAGE YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THERE'S A BALCONY UP THERE.

SO IT REALLY ENHANCES THE HEIGHT OF THE AIRPORT, GIVES A REALLY BIG ESTHETIC FOR WHAT ABI IS.

AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY SOUTH. YOU'VE GOT A MAIN CONCOURSE AREA KIND OF IN THAT LIGHT LAVENDER COLOR THERE, BUT ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND YELLOW AND GOLD, THAT IS THE SECURITY CHECKPOINT.

AND SO THERE'S QUEUING THROUGH THERE THAT WE STILL NEED TO WORK THROUGH WITH TSA AND GSA AND ALL OF THEIR EQUIPMENT.

BUT THE PLAN IS TO PREPARE THIS FOR THE FUTURE, NOT HAVE JUST ONE SECURITY LINE.

YOU'D HAVE AT LEAST THREE. AND SO YOU CAN FIT THREE IN THERE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PLANNING ON AT THIS POINT. MOST LIKELY IT WILL BE OUTFITTED FOR ONLY TWO UNLESS TSA SAYS THEY WANT TO DO ALL THREE.

THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER CONVERSATION. BUT NEXT TO THAT, IN THE DARKER YELLOW, THE GOLD COLOR.

IS THERE TSA OFFICES, SOME PRIVATE SCREENING SPACES, AND A TSA BREAK ROOM AND A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OFFICE AFTER YOU GO THROUGH SECURITY? WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU NORMALLY GOT TO PUT ON YOUR SHOES OR KIND OF SITUATE, RIGHT? WELL, ON THE SOUTH WALL THERE, THERE'S A SERIES OF BENCHES, PLANNED FURNITURE AT THIS TIME, SO YOU CAN KIND OF REGROUP BEFORE YOU MIGRATE FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE HOLD ROOM.

SO AS YOU GO SOUTH AND YOU GO THROUGH A PAIR OF DOORS THERE, YOU END UP INTO THE HOLD ROOM AND YOU WALK IN.

AND THE VISION INITIALLY WAS, HEY, WE'VE GOT THE WAFFLE SLAB UP THERE, THE CONCRETE.

[01:00:02]

BUT LET'S REDO SOME OF THE CEILINGS AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING SOME FIREPLACES IN THERE.

SO COORDINATING GAS LINES BUT MAKING IT FEEL REALLY HOMEY, MAKING IT FEEL NICE AND WARM AND WELCOMING.

SO WHEN YOU WALK IN YOU'VE GOT NICE LOUNGE SEATING, YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE OF FIREPLACES, AND ON THE EAST SIDE, ON THE WEST SIDE, WHERE THE JET BRIDGES GET EXPANDED OUT.

YOU'VE GOT ADEQUATE SEATING. THE GOAL HERE IS TO PROVIDE SEATING FOR 200 PEOPLE, OR ROUGHLY TWO PLANES.

PLUS AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT SEAT SPOILAGE IS, I THINK.

AND SO TRYING TO ENCOURAGE OTHER SEATING OPTIONS THAT DON'T JUST SPOIL SEATS AFTER SEATS AFTER SEATS.

NOW PART OF THE HOLD ROOM EXPANSION IS ENLARGING THE RESTROOM.

SO ON THE WEST SIDE, THE GOAL WOULD BE TO DO A LARGER WOMEN'S RESTROOM AND A MEN'S RESTROOM.

AND THEN THERE'S A SMALL FAMILY RESTROOM. I GOT THREE KIDS, AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GOTTA GO CHANGE THE LITTLE ONES DIAPER, SHE'S ONE RIGHT NOW. YOU NEED A ROOM TO GO DO IT AND CONTAIN THE BOYS THAT ARE JUST WILD.

ON THE EAST SIDE, WE'VE GOT A VIP LOUNGE AND THEN A LITTLE AREA FOR VENDING, AND THEN A LITTLE JANITOR'S CLOSET, AND THEN A PARENTS ROOM. AND SO AGAIN, MY WIFE HAS GONE THROUGH THREE KIDS NOW.

AND SOMETIMES YOU NEED A ROOM FOR THAT MOTHER TO GO IN THERE AND DO HER THING.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A FAMILY RESTROOM ON THAT SIDE, ON EACH SIDE, THE EAST AND WEST.

THERE IS ONE ELEVATOR AND THERE'S ONE STAIR. THE STAIRS ARE REQUIRED FOR EGRESS OUT OF THE BUILDING FOR LIFE SAFETY, BUT THE ELEVATORS ARE MORE FOR ACCESSIBILITY DOWN TO THE LOWER LEVEL IF NEEDED FOR DOING.

I'M GOING TO GET THE TERMINOLOGY WRONG IN PLANE, NOT ENPLANEMENTS.

GROUND BOARDING, I GUESS. IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH.

GROUND LOADING. AND THEN IN THE RARE INSTANCE, THERE IS ONE ELEVATOR THAT GOES DOWN.

AND IF YOU FLIP BACK TO THE FIRST FLOOR LEVEL, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS DOWN THERE.

AND SO IF DON AND SEAN GET STUCK OUT THERE DURING SNOW ARMAGEDDON, AGAIN, THEY CAN GO RINSE OFF.

OR IF THEY HAVE DIVERSIONS THAT END UP STUCK THERE FOR A LONG EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS THAT COULD BE USED.

AND THAT FEATURE WAS INSPIRED BY HAVING STAFF OUT THERE.

WE THERE ARE TIMES WHERE WE JUST SPEND THE NIGHT AND WE'RE WE'RE DOING SNOW REMOVAL AND WE GET CHEMICAL ON US AND STUFF.

YOU NEED A PLACE TO TAKE A SHOWER, BUT ALSO INSPIRED BY 2011, I THINK IT WAS.

AND WE HAD A BAD SNOW EVENT IN TEXAS AND WE HAD AN.

IT WAS NOT AN AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT, BUT WE HAD A FLIGHT THAT DIVERTED TO US, AND THE PASSENGERS WERE STUCK HERE FOR THREE AND A HALF DAYS, AND WE WERE HAVING TO TAKE THEM OVER TO THE FIRE STATION TO GET SHOWERS.

SO I THOUGHT, WELL, WE CAN WE CAN ADD A COUPLE OF SHOWERS DOWNSTAIRS.

WE'D STILL HAVE TO ESCORT THEM DOWN, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE NOT HAVING TO DRY THEM OVER AND JUST PROVIDE.

YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY FEELS BETTER AFTER YOU GET A SHOWER, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY IN THAT KIND OF SITUATION.

ELEVATORS ON THE SECOND FLOOR BACK HERE ARE IN A STERILE AREA.

SO IF THEY GO DOWNSTAIRS, CAN THEY COME BACK UP OR YOU GOTTA HAVE A BADGE? YES. THAT'S WHY I SAID YOU HAD TO BE ESCORTED.

YOU HAVE TO BE ESCORTED BEFORE THAT. THAT'S GOING TO BE CONTROLLED BY AIRPORT STAFF. ALL RIGHT, I WILL ALSO SAY THAT IN THIS DESIGN, THERE ARE TWO FAMILY RESTROOMS. I DON'T THINK WE NEED TWO FAMILY RESTROOMS IN THAT AREA.

JUST SEEING HOW MUCH THE ASSISTED RESTROOM IS BEING USED, I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND JUST ONE FAMILY RESTROOM IN THAT BOARDING AREA.

I THINK THAT'S PLENTY. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT WE DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, LARGER RESTROOMS IN THERE AS WELL.

SO I, I, I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE USED A LOT TO JUSTIFY THE COST OF A SECOND FAMILY RESTROOM.

I THINK JAMES WOULD LOVE TO USE THAT EXTRA SPACE TO ENLARGE THE VIP LOUNGE, TOO.

YEAH. I WAS GOING TO ASK DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER INTERNAL PICTURES OF THE VIP LOUNGE? BECAUSE I'LL BE THERE A LOT. BUT MY QUESTION IS THIS MEMBERSHIP JANE'S.

LOOK, I'VE GOT ONE. AND YOU'RE YOU'RE KEEPING THE EXISTING ELEVATORS? NO, YOU'RE ACTUALLY YOU'RE SCRAPPING ALL THAT.

YES. YEAH. HOW'S THAT? I WAS THINKING THAT THEY'RE MORE.

THEY'RE MORE. THIS WAY. YOU'RE. THEY'RE GONE.

GONE? THEY ARE. THEY ARE IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION NOW.

SO WE ARE RELOCATING THEM TOWARDS THE NORTH END, WHERE THEY'RE REALLY TOWARDS THE SOUTH.

THEY'RE. THEY'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 2001, 2002.

PROBABLY LATE ZERO TWO. THEY'RE NOT USED TO A HANDFUL OF TIMES ANYWAY.

YEAH. THEY'RE JUST NOT. THEY'RE NOT. I GUESS MY MY QUESTION IS THEY'RE NOT USED THAT MUCH NOW.

DO WE NEED TWO OF THOSE? WE TAKE OUT THE ESCALATOR I WOULD THINK, FOR THE FUTURE.

[01:05:03]

IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT A TSA AREA. SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE ESCORTED DOWN AND BACK AND FORTH.

SO WHAT ARE WE GOING DOWN FOR? SO THAT WAS WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT GROUND BOARDING.

AND THAT IS WHEN. WHEN WE HAVE DIVERSIONS AND WE'RE WE'RE HAVING TO WALK 150 PEOPLE DOWN THE STAIRS AND THEY TAKE THE ELEVATOR BECAUSE YOU GOT ELDERLY AND PEOPLE ARE HANDICAPPED. TAKE THEM DOWN TO THAT BOARDING LEVEL AND THEN WALK THEM OUT TO THE RAMP TO BOARD THEIR AIRCRAFT OR BRINGING THEM IN TOO.

WE WE DO USE THOSE AND WE USE BOTH SIDES. SOMETIMES WHEN WE HAVE A VERY LARGE DIVERSION EVENT WITH A LOT OF DEPLANE PASSENGERS.

SO AND IT IS A REDUNDANCY THING. SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE ONE OF SOMETHING THAT THE PUBLIC HAS ACCESS TO, YOU REALLY NEED TO BECAUSE YOU CAN'T COUNT ON 100%, THAT'S A LIABILITY.

I'M JUST I'M JUST ASKING THE QUESTION. YEAH. YEAH.

I'M GLAD YOU ARE. YEAH. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT FIREPLACES.

IT'S TEXAS. WHO WHO WILL MAINTAIN THEM? WHO WILL OVERSEE SEE THE, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THEY'RE UP AND SAFE AND EVERYTHING.

AND I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE. I MEAN, I LOVE A GOOD FIREPLACE.

I'LL KEEP ON, ON MY TV SOMETIMES, BUT I JUST TWO WHAT'S THE YOU SAID AMBIANCE, BUT I'M NOT ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AMBIANCE. WHEN I'M IN AN AIRPORT, I'M READY TO GET IN AND GET OUT.

YEAH, WELL, THANKFULLY AT ABI, WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF WAIT TIME.

THE AMBIANCE IS REALLY JUST SET ON A VISION. YEAH, FROM WHERE WE STARTED.

HAPPY TO MAKE CHANGES. DISCUSS. BUT THAT'S WHERE WE WERE.

AND I THINK THIS WAS PART OF THE BOND PACKAGE IMAGERY THAT WAS PRESENTED SO.

WELL. JAMES, YOU'RE IN THERE ALL THE TIME. WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT A FIRE, A FIRE PIT? I'M LOOKING BACK IN MY BRAIN, AND I DON'T KNOW OF ANOTHER AIRPORT THAT I'VE WALKED INTO THAT HAS A FIREPLACE.

AND AND THE OTHER THING IS, IS THAT YOU YOU JUST SAID YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR KIDS AND THEIR.

WELL THEY MAKE. SO THESE. THESE MATE. THEY MAY.

BE ELECTRIC FIREPLACES. THEY MAY BE GAS. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE OPEN FLAME FOR SURE.

THERE'LL BE THERE'LL BE GLASS AROUND. BUT I LIKE THEM I JUST I DON'T YEAH I'VE BEEN.

HUNDREDS OF AIRPORTS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF AIRPORTS I HAVE NEVER SEEN.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ABBEY. IT'S GOT A FIREPLACE.

IT'S FINE. I'M GOING. AS SOON AS THIS GETS BUILT, I WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST ONES ON.

WELL, I WOULD JUST HATE TO LOSE SEATING. YEAH.

YEAH. OKAY. WELL, THAT'S GOOD THEN. I WAS GOING TO PUT MY $0.02 WORTH IN.

I THINK THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. BUT IF THERE'S PLACES THAT WE NEED TO CUT COSTS, THAT'S WHERE I WOULD CUT IT AND TRY TO PUT MORE SEATING IN THERE OR MAKE A WIDER AWNING OUTSIDE. I'M SURE THEY'RE THE SAME PRICE WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GET TO THE COST CUTTING.

YOU WILL BE INVOLVED IN THAT. BUT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, COLIN.

THEY REALLY ARE PRETTY. AND THERE ARE OTHER AIRPORTS.

WE'VE WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT IN THE THREATS THAT SEATTLE OR.

I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS THERE WAS ANOTHER AIRPORT IN THE NORTHWEST.

BUT WE HAVE SEEN THAT WE HAVE SEEN THAT IN ANOTHER AIRPORT TERMINAL, THAT PARTICULAR PROVIDER THERE.

AND YOU'RE LOOKING OUT, YOU CAN SEE STEAMBOAT MOUNTAIN. I MEAN, YEAH, YOU SEE BUFFALO GAP.

IT'S GOOD. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON. ONE THING I MENTIONED EARLIER WAS THE HVAC FOR THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE FACE FOR THIS EXPANSION IS THERE'S CURRENTLY NO FIRE SUPPRESSION IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

AND SO AS SOON AS WE START DOING CONSTRUCTION ON THE HOLD ROOM, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS FACILITY EXCEED WHAT IS ALLOWABLE BY CODE.

SO WE WILL BE SPRINKLING THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

AND SO THE GOAL IS TO BE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT HOW WE SPRINKLE IT.

SO WE DON'T JUST THROW A BUNCH OF BLACK PIPE UP THERE AND GOT SPRINKLERS EVERYWHERE.

WE WILL PUT PIPE UP THERE, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY GET PAINTED OR CONCEALED HERE AND THERE.

AND SPRINKLER HEADS THAT ARE INTENTIONALLY PLACED RATHER THAN JUST THROWING IT UP THERE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

THAT IS A SUBSTANTIAL COST TO THE PROJECT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE.

IN GENERAL, THAT IS THE QUICK WALKTHROUGH OF FIRST FLOOR, SECOND FLOOR AND SOME OF THE EXTERIOR.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ELIZABETH IS REMINDING ME YOU FORGOT THE BALCONY.

THE BALCONY. THANK YOU. SO IF YOU ARE WAITING OR LIKE I'VE GOT KIDS AND YOU'RE WAITING TO BOARD,

[01:10:01]

BECAUSE THEY GET ON THERE AND THEN THEY GET IMPATIENT.

BUT YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND BE IN A SECURE ENCLOSED BALCONY AREA.

SO IT'S IT HAS TO MEET CERTAIN GUIDELINES AND RESTRICTIONS, BUT YOU CAN'T THROW STUFF OVER.

SO IT'S ENCLOSED TO A POINT THAT IT STILL HAS VENTILATION, BUT YOU CAN BE OUTSIDE IN AN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT AND BE ALMOST ON THE APRON THERE.

SO THAT'S VERY NICE. THANK YOU. AND IF WE NEED TO ADD, WILL IT HAVE CRACKER BARREL ROCKING CHAIRS OUT THERE.

YES. I MEAN YEAH THERE WOULD BE SOME SEATING OUT THERE.

YEAH. AND YOU MADE THE COMMENT BEFORE WE EVEN STARTED THAT THERE'S NO RESTAURANT AND THERE IS NO RESTAURANT IN THE DESIGN DOES NOT HAVE A RESTAURANT.

AND WE'VE WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE, BUT WE WILL HAVE DEDICATED VENDING AREAS.

BUT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH EIGHT RESTAURANTS IN THE 21 YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE.

WE DON'T HAVE THE TRAFFIC TO SUSTAIN A FULL KITCHEN RESTAURANT.

NOW WHAT? CHICK FIL A IS DOING SEEMS TO BE WORKING OKAY.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, DEDICATED.

I HOPE THEY'RE HERE WHEN WE OPEN THIS NEW TERMINAL, BUT WE WILL HAVE A SPACE, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY COULD USE.

AND IT WAS PROBABLY WILL PROBABLY BE IN THIS AMENITY AREA ON THE SECOND FLOOR, THE OVERLOOK.

THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I SEE VENDING. AND SOMETHING LIKE CHICK FIL A GOING WILL ACCOMMODATE THEM.

BUT TO HAVE A FULL KITCHEN TO SPEND THE MONEY ON THAT AND MAINTAIN A FULL KITCHEN.

IT'S JUST IT'S GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD, BASICALLY.

SO IT JUST HAS NOT WORKED OUT AS MUCH AS I'D LOVE FOR IT TO.

I'D LOVE TO HAVE A BAR THERE TOO, BUT WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE TRAFFIC AND I DON'T FORESEE THAT.

YOU KNOW, AS MUCH AS I, YOU KNOW, HOPE THAT WE GROW, GROW, GROW.

BUT YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THERE ARE JUST LIMITS TO HOW MUCH ABILENE CAN GROW.

ABILENE TRAFFIC CAN GROW TO SUPPORT A RESTAURANT A FULL OF ITSELF SOMEPLACE.

AND THERE THERE ARE AIRPORTS THAT HAVE THAT KIND OF RESTAURANT, BUT WE'VE JUST NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN HERE, SO I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO. I WOULD LOVE TO SAY, HEY, WE'VE GOT A THRIVING FULL KITCHEN RESTAURANT THAT WE WANT TO MAINTAIN, BUT WE JUST DON'T. SO I HAVE A QUESTION HERE.

SO WHEN WHEN WE DO THIS EXPANSION, ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR BOARD MEETINGS OUT THERE INSTEAD OF HERE.

NO, THAT'S THAT'S A COUNCIL DECISION THAT THE THAT ALL BOARD PUBLIC BOARD MEETINGS HAPPEN IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS SO THEY CAN BE LIVE STREAMED.

ON FACEBOOK. I GUESS I JUST THOUGHT I'D ASK HIM.

SO, DON, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? I THINK YOU MADE THE COMMENT ABOUT, LIKE, A CHICK FIL A AREA OR WHATEVER, SOMETHING BEING OUT ON THE BALCONY AREA. IS THAT WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY? POTENTIALLY. I MEAN, LIKE, MAYBE NOT. NOT ON THE PUBLIC SIDE, THE FRONT OF THE TERMINAL, BASICALLY THE OVERLOOK THAT YOU SEE, THE GREEN, THE GREEN AREAS. YEAH. ONE OF THOSE SIDES BEING BEING THERE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION.

THINK FORWARD THINKING. SO WE HAVE DEDICATED VENDING.

IF WE HAD I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF A FULL BLOWN RESTAURANT, BUT WE HAD SOMEONE LIKE CHICK FIL A OR SOMEONE WHO COULD PROVIDE SOMETHING A LITTLE SNACK BAR AREA OR SOMETHING, AND PERHAPS A BAR. WILL WE OR CAN WE CREATE SPACE FOR THAT? YES. OKAY. AND NOW IT'S TIME TO BE THINKING ABOUT THAT.

SO THIS IS A SILLY QUESTION, BUT JUST HAVING TRAVELED TO SPAIN AND BACK AND SPENDING TIME IN VIP LOUNGES, WHAT ARE WE ENVISIONING WITH OUR VIP LOUNGE? THAT IS.

THAT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS. IN MY HEAD THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO TIME ABOUT SPONSORSHIP FOR VIP LOUNGE. YOU KNOW, THERE.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AN ADMIRALS CLUB. OKAY.

BUT THAT'S UNFORTUNATELY THERE. THERE MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A LOCAL COMPANY TO SPONSOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU SEE CAPITAL ONE HAS THEIR CLUB, CITY HAS THEIR CLUBS AROUND AIRPORTS, MUCH LARGER AIRPORTS THAN US.

BUT MAYBE THERE'S, YOU KNOW, LOCAL OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEBODY TO DO THAT AS YOU KNOW, A CERTAIN BANK CLUB OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I'M, I'M LEAVING IT TOTALLY OPEN. AND MAYBE THEY, THEY WOULD THEY WOULD SPONSOR THAT.

I'M TAKING SOME OF THIS VIP STUFF PERSONAL. BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, IT WILL BE A BUSINESS

[01:15:07]

HAVE A QUIET PLACE TO HAVE A CALL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOO.

SO IF WE WERE TO MOVE THAT ONE PARENT ROOM LIKE YOU WERE TALKING, THAT'S PROBABLY THE SIDE.

WHERE WAS THAT? WELL, THE FAMILY RESTROOM, BUT THERE'S I THINK THERE'S A FAMILY RESTROOM THERE.

NOT ON THAT SIDE, BUT YEAH. OKAY. SO YOU'VE GOT THE VIP LOUNGE AND YOU'VE GOT VENDING RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

WELL, WE COULD PUT VENDING WHERE THAT SECOND FAMILY FAMILY RESTROOM IS THERE AT THE STAIRWELL.

GOTCHA. SO AND AND JUST MAKE THE THE VIP AREA THAT MUCH LARGER.

YEAH. THAT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT HAVE INPUT IN AS WE GET CLOSER TO FINALIZING DESIGN OR.

YEAH I THINK THAT'S A MINOR CHANGE. AND THAT'S LIKE I SAID, IT'S STILL KIND OF A WORK IN PROGRESS AND AND OKAY.

I MEAN, IT'S A SILLY THING, BUT IT COULD BE KIND OF NEAT.

I MEAN, I THINK SO IT COULD BE A NEAT AMENITY THAT WE DON'T HAVE NOW.

SO ARE YOU SPONSORING NOW? MIGHT BE A BIG TIME USER.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT A SPONSOR, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED THOSE LOCAL CHAINS.

AND I MIGHT HAVE MEETINGS IN THERE FROM TIME TO TIME. I DON'T KNOW.

THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ACTION, RIGHT? NO, THIS IS JUST DISCUSSION.

AND I WANTED TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS. ANY OTHER IDEAS? BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN'T MAKE ANY MORE BIG CHANGES.

SO MAKING SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND JUST CONFIRMING WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SINCE REALLY NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

BUT THIS THIS WAS JUST TO GIVE YOU THAT. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY FINAL INPUT, BUT THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE TO MAKE BIG CHANGES TODAY.

SO WE WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED FOR DATE. YEAH.

TERMINAL. YEAH. TECHNICALLY, YEAH. TECHNICALLY. TWO JET BRIDGES AND THE TWO WALK DOWN GATES, SO, YES, WE WILL STILL MAINTAIN THAT. I THINK THAT I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WE STILL NEED TO AT LEAST CARRY THAT FOUR GATE CATEGORY.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. I DO TOO. OPTION TWO.

AND WE DID. THANK YOU COLIN. THANK YOU FOR ENTERTAINING ALL OF OUR COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS.

AND THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. AND WE DO HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION TODAY.

JUST KIDDING. THAT WAS EXCELLENT. THE FLOOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MARK PIPKIN.
