ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK? UH, 2020 FINANCIAL.

THOMAS, PROVIDE BY.

HI, GUYS.

UM, JUST A SUMMARY, 22 FINANCIAL RESULTS, UH, TWO SOURCES.

ONE, THREE MONTHS WHERE HAD, YOU KNOW, PAST, AND THIS IS, UH, ALSO SEEN DISEASE MONTHS, OR THE COUNTRY JUNE, 2023 BY EXPECT MILLION IN HIGHER.

I, BECAUSE THERE'S MORE EXPECT, UH, IN TERMS OF REVENUE, BUSINESS REVENUE, REVENUE.

UM, AND THAT HAS, UH, ONE POINT, UM, MAINLY, UH, UH, SINCE APRIL, SO YEAR OVER YEAR, MORE, UH, ON EXPENSE.

UM, THE, THE EXPENSE, UH, WE HAD A ALMOST

[2. June 2023 Financial Results presented by Rajeev Thomas, Deputy Chief, Finance.]

UH, MOST OF THAT IS DRIVEN BY A NEW, UM, EXPENSE ITEM THAT HAS COME ONLINE, WHICH IS OUR VANDERLANDE CONTRACT, WHICH IS HANDLING THE BAGGAGE SYSTEM OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.

UH, THERE WERE STARTUP COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

AND, UH, ALSO RECURRING MONTHLY COSTS OF ALMOST $400,000.

THE STARTUP COSTS WERE ABOUT $500,000, AND FOR A SUM OF ABOUT $900,000 IN TOTAL, UH, IN THIS MONTH, THAT DID NOT HAPPEN LAST YEAR.

UH, PARKING EXPENSES WERE ALSO HIGHER, ABOUT 350,000 VERSUS LAST YEAR.

WE HAVE MORE PARKING SHUTTLE DRIVERS AND, YOU KNOW, MORE PASSENGERS, UH, ALSO, UH, THAN LAST YEAR.

UH, SO OVERALL, UH, THE EXPENSES INCREASED 39%, BUT IT WAS IN LINE WITH WHAT WE BUDGETED.

WE DID BUDGET TO HAVE OPERATING EXPENSES OVER $11 MILLION IN THE MONTH OF JUNE, AND THAT IT CAME IN LINE WITH OUR, OUR BUDGETED ESTIMATES.

UH, SO FOR THE YEAR, WE ARE STILL, UH, TRENDING YEAR TO DATE, WE ARE STILL TRENDING UNDER BUDGET AND ALSO UNDER C Y E ON OUR OPERATING EXPENSES.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR RAJEEV THOMAS? THANK YOU, RAJEEV.

THAT'S A VERY SUNNY OUTLOOK.

UM, ANY INFORMATION ABOUT CARGO? WHAT THE CARGO? UM, YEAH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE, WE DID SEE SOME DECLINES, UM, IN, IN THE CARGO NUMBERS.

UM, MAINLY DRIVEN BY, UM, SUN

[00:05:01]

UM, BUT I'VE ALSO READ A NEWS ARTICLES, AND THIS HAS BEEN, THERE'S BEEN A DECLINE IN CARGO IN OTHER AIRPORTS AROUND THE COUNTRY TOO, AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT IS DRIVING THAT.

UM, WE KNEW, YOU KNOW, COMPARED TO THE PANDEMIC ERA, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE NOW GOING OUT AND SHOPPING MORE THAN, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST GETTING PACKAGES AT HOME.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT IS NOW A TREND THAT HAS KIND OF STABILIZED, BUT WE'VE SEEN THAT DECLINE IN CARGO FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

BUT IT'S KIND OF STAYING STEADY, BUT YEAR OVER YEAR COMPARISONS ARE LOWER.

OKAY.

MAYBE WE'LL GET TO THAT LATER.

MAYBE THE, IS THE BUDGET, THE, WELL WE'LL GET TO THAT.

CARGO REALLY DOESN'T, UH, DOESN'T DRIVE MUCH REVENUE OTHER THAN THE LANDING FEE REVENUE THAT GET, WE GET FROM THE, FROM THE CARGO AIRLINES.

BUT, YOU KNOW, FROM THE, THE VOLUME OF, OR THE TONNAGE FROM THE CARGO, THERE'S NO, NO REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONERS ONLINE IN, IN THE ROOM.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

WELL, LET'S, CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT JULY.

IT'S BEEN BUSY.

THANK YOU.

UH, AN AIR SERVICE UPDATE,

[3. Air Service Update provided by Jamy Kazanoff, AUS Air Service Development.]

SHE IS NOT PRESENT THIS AFTERNOON.

CORRECT, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS WE WILL HAVE, UH, A DIRECT FLIGHT ON SOUTHWEST TO SAN JUAN IS COMING BACK IN MARCH OF 2024.

THERE HAD BEEN A, A DIRECT FLIGHT TO SAN JUAN IN THE EVENING.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH AIRLINE, BUT THAT'S GREAT NEWS.

AND ANY OTHER, UM, INFORMATION THAT FROM STAFF THAT YOU'D LIKE TO RELAY FROM JAMIE'S REPORT? NO.

COMMISSIONERS.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT AIR SERVICE? OKAY, THANK YOU.

UM, ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS

[4. Journey with AUS (AUS AEDP/Capital Improvement Program) Active Projects Update provided by Lyn Estabrook, Division Manager, Planning and Development.]

HELLO, LYNN.

GOOD, A GOOD AFTERNOON.

UM, COMMISSIONERS LYNN, ESTHER BROOK, UM, DIVISION MANAGER OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT.

IN YOUR PACKET IS THE MONTHLY UPDATE OF ALL OF THE PROJECTS.

I DID WANNA HIGHLIGHT, UM, THE BAGGAGE HANDLING SYSTEM.

I WANTED TO, UM, INTRODUCE JUST TO YOU, 'CAUSE SHE'S HERE, THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THAT PROJECT, RO KAMARI, COULD YOU WAVE OR STAND UP, SAY HI.

I JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HER AND ALL HER HARD WORK SINCE SHE IS HERE TONIGHT.

UM, AND SO IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, ABOUT THE PROJECT UPDATE, I'M WILLING TO ANSWER THOSE.

UM, ALSO NEXT MONTH WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU WITH AN R C A FOR THE BAGGAGE HE SYSTEM.

UM, THAT WAY IN THIS PACKET THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION THAN NORMAL ON THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU LYNN.

COMMISSIONERS.

UM, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ARE THINGS PRIMARILY PROCEEDING ON SCHEDULE? HAVE YOU HAD ANY HICCUPS LATELY? EVERYTHING'S ON SCHEDULE.

UM, THE BAGGAGE HANDLING SYSTEM IS MOVING ALONG.

UM, THERE'S SOME GREAT PICTURES OF ALL THE, UM, CLAIM, UM, BELTS THAT ARE INSTALLED ALREADY.

UM, AND THAT PHASE ONE IS ON, ON TIME TO BE OPEN ON SCHEDULE IN, IN, UM, MAY.

CONGRATULATIONS.

OKAY.

UM, ITEM NUMBER

[5. Department of Aviation FY24 Proposed Budget presented by Rajeev Thomas, Deputy Chief, Finance.]

ALRIGHT, I'LL WAIT FOR THE SLIDES TO BE UP.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, UM, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

OKAY, SO THIS IS THE PRESENTATION OF THE 2024 BUDGET THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL THIS WEEK.

CITY COUNCIL IS GOING THROUGH WORK SESSIONS THIS WEEK, AND THE HOPE IS THAT NEXT WEEK IT'LL BE FINALIZED.

UM, SO IN TERMS OF THE PASSENGER PROJECTIONS FOR THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR, UH, IN OUR ESTIMATE, WE HAD PROJECTED ABOUT 11.1 MILLION PASSENGERS, OR IN PLANE, SORRY, IN PLANE PASSENGERS IN 2023, FISCAL YEAR 2023, NOT, THIS IS NOT CALENDAR YEAR, THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AND RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT WE'VE HAD A LITTLE SOFTNESS, ALMOST 1% TO 2% DECLINE IN PASSENGERS, UH, VERSUS JUNE, UH, WE DID SEE A LITTLE INCREASE OF ABOUT ONE TO 2%.

UH, THAT 11.1 MILLION UNEMPLOYMENTS MIGHT FALL A LITTLE SHORT.

I THINK IT'LL, WE'LL BARELY JUST MAKE IT TO 11 MILLION IN THAT ESTIMATE FOR FISCAL YEAR, UH, 23

[00:10:02]

UM, SO WE'LL SEE WHETHER, UH, YOU KNOW, THE PASSENGER TRAFFIC PICKS UP SOME PICKS UP OR NOT, BUT IT IS, YOU KNOW, PROJECTED TO BE ABOUT 11 AND A HALF MILLION IN PLACEMENTS.

SO WE'LL SEE HOW THE REST OF THE YEAR GOES, UH, IN TERMS OF PASSENGERS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THERE IS SOME SOFTNESS AND IT COMES BACK VERY FAST.

SO, UM, SO IT IS A, IT IS A CONSERVATIVE FORECAST AND THE 4% IS BELOW OUR LONG-TERM AVERAGE.

UH, OVER 20 YEARS WE'VE BEEN AVERAGING OVER 5%.

SO WE DID EXPECT A LITTLE RECESSIONARY IMPACT WHEN WE WERE PUTTING TOGETHER THE BUDGET ABOUT TWO, THREE MONTHS AGO.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE WHETHER WE CAN OUTDO IT OR NOT.

UM, SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO FOR OUR REVENUES, UH, THE WAY WE PROJECTED OUR REVENUES IS ONE METRIC THAT WE LOOK AT IS REVENUE PER UNEMPLOYMENTS.

UM, AND IN, IN, UH, IN FISCAL YEAR 23, WE ARE PROJECTING OUR REVENUE PER APPOINTMENTS TO BE ABOUT $23 AND 86 CENTS.

UH, IN THE 22 ACTUALS, WERE $23 AND 16 CENTS.

AND IN THIS BUDGET YOU'LL SEE THAT THE PROJECTION IS FOR REVENUE PER APPOINTMENTS OVER $24.

UH, WE THINK WE CAN ACHIEVE IT.

UH, RIGHT NOW, YEAR TO DATE, WE ARE AVERAGING OVER $24.

SO, UH, NEXT YEAR WITH THE FULL YEAR IMPACT OF THE PARKING RATE INCREASE AND ALSO ADVERTISING REVENUE INCREASE, WE SHOULD SEE A HIGHER REVENUE PER EMPLOYMENT.

UM, INTEREST INCOME IS ALSO RISING DUE TO INCREASE IN OUR TREASURY RATES.

IF THE, IF THE, YOU KNOW, UH, THE FED DOESN'T CUT THE RATES, WE WILL HAVE HIGHER INTEREST INCOME NEXT, UH, NEXT YEAR TOO.

AND WE DIDN'T PUT INTO ANY, UH, ACCOUNT FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN LANDED WEIGHTS FOR NEXT YEAR.

WE ARE ESSENTIALLY KEEPING IT FLAT.

WE JUST DON'T SEE THE, THE GROWTH IN, IN, IN THE, THE, THE NUMBER OF LANDINGS.

UH, THERE WILL BE SOME INCREASE IN SEEDS, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE LANDED WEIGHTS.

UH, TERMINAL RENTAL RATES ARE INCREASING, UH, AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE, IN THE NEXT SLIDE, UH, DUE TO HIGHER O N M COSTS AND ALSO THE HIGHER DEBT SERVICES THAT IS COMING IN, UH, COMING INTO PLAY.

UH, SO TERMINAL RENTAL RATES, WHICH ARE BASED ON THOSE COSTS ARE INCREASING FOR THE AIRLINES.

UH, RENTAL CAR AVERAGE DAILY RATES ARE, ARE EXPECTED TO BE WHERE THEY ARE.

WE'VE SEEN SOME DECLINES IN RENTAL CAR RATES RECENTLY, UH, LAST YEAR WE WERE LOOKING AT ALMOST $80 RATES, UM, ON AN AVERAGE DAILY RENTAL.

AND NOW IT HAS FALLEN TO, I THINK LAST MONTH WAS ABOUT $65, BUT REVENUES ARE KIND OF STAYING STEADY, TOTAL GROSS REVENUES AND, AND THERE'S A NEW CONTRACT FOR ADVERTISING REVENUE.

SO THAT IS ALSO EXPECTED TO INCREASE REVENUES, BUDGET TO BUDGET BY ABOUT $2 MILLION.

AND PARKING REVENUE, WE EXPECT TO INCREASE BY ABOUT FIVE TO $7 MILLION DUE TO THE $2 INCREASE THAT WE INSTITUTED, I THINK BACK IN APRIL, WHICH WILL HAVE A FULL YEAR IMPACT NEXT YEAR.

AND OTHER REVENUES ARE JUST RISING BASED ON CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.

UH, YOU KNOW, UH, C P I INCREASES IN LEASE OBLIGATIONS.

SO, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE JI, MAY I INTERRUPT FOR JUST A SECOND? SURE.

THE RIDESHARE, UBER, LYFT, AND TAXI, UM, UH, CONTRIBUTION TO THE REVENUE IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE A RATE INCREASE PLAN FOR THAT, BUT WE DO HAVE, BASED ON VOLUMES, IF THE VOLUMES KEEP GOING UP, THE IMPACT FROM JUST IN THE VOLUME SIDE OF IT.

THANK YOU.

SO THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST DEPENDENT ON UNEMPLOYMENT GROWTH.

AND WE TIE IT TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT GROWTH THAT WE HAVE.

SO TOTAL REVENUES, UM, ARE GOING TO $289 MILLION IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2024.

AND COMPARED TO WHERE WE DID THE BUDGET IN 2023, WHICH IS ABOUT $237 MILLION, UH, THAT IS ALMOST A 22% INCREASE BUDGET TO BUDGET.

UH, BUT OUR ESTIMATE FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, YOU CAN SEE IS ABOUT 265 MIL, $65 MILLION.

SO THAT IS ABOUT A 9% INCREASE IF YOU LOOK AT ESTIMATE THIS YEAR'S ESTIMATE VERSUS NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET.

SO, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, YOU KNOW, WE TIE TO AT THAT REVENUE PER PLAN METRIC, AND YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM THERE, UH, THE REVENUE PER EMPLOYMENT THAT WE ARE SHOOTING FOR IS $24 AND 99 CENTS FOR NEXT YEAR.

AND THAT HAS EVEN BROKEN DOWN FURTHER.

UH, IF YOU LOOK AT AIRLINE REVENUE PER EMPLOYMENT, THAT'S $12.

AND THEN THE NON-AIR AIRLINE REVENUE COMPONENTS, WHICH ARE LIKE PARKING, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, THE, THE RIDE SHARE, THE T N C, THE RENTAL CAR, AND THE CONCESSIONS

[00:15:01]

OKAY, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO THIS IS OUR HEADCOUNT PICTURE RIGHT NOW.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, UH, 674 BUDGETED FTES.

WE DID NOT ASK FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FTES IN FISCAL YEAR 24.

WE HAVE A LOT OF VACANCIES, AS YOU CAN SEE, ABOUT 235 VACANCIES THAT WE ARE TRYING TO FILL.

SO WE ARE GONNA CONCENTRATE ON FILLING THOSE POSITIONS, UH, BEFORE WE ASK FOR ANY MORE IN FOLLOWING YEARS.

NEXT, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO, ON THE OPERATING EXPENSE SIDE, AND THIS IS JUST AIRPORT OPERATING EXPENSES, NOT, UH, CITY ALLOCATED EXPENSES THAT WE GET, UH, PASSED DOWN FROM, UH, THE CONTROLLER'S OFFICE OR THE, UH, FOR LAW, ET CETERA THAT THE CITY DOES.

SO THIS IS JUST STRICTLY AIRPORT EXPENSES.

SO AIRPORT EXPENSES ARE GOING UP 13.5% BUDGET TO BUDGET.

UM, THERE ARE TWO DRIVERS FOR THIS.

ONE IS THAT VANDERLANDE CONTRACT THAT I MENTIONED, UH, THAT WAS CAUSING THAT INCREASE IN EXPENSES THIS YEAR.

THAT EXPENSE WASN'T BUDGETED THIS YEAR.

UH, IT CAME ON AFTER THE BUDGET WAS DONE LAST YEAR, AND THE FULL YEAR IMPACT OF THAT IS FIVE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

SO THIS WORK BEFORE WAS DONE BY AN AIRLINE CONSORTIUM.

SO WE ARE NOW, THE AIRPORT IS GONNA TAKE OVER OR THE EXPENSE RELATED TO THAT, BUT WE ARE GOING TO RECOVER THAT THROUGH AIRLINE RATES AND CHARGES.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE, UH, SOME THE TERMINAL RENTAL RATES, ET CETERA, INCREASED DUE TO THIS.

BUT IF YOU BACK OUT THAT MANAL LAND D CONTRACT, WHICH IS SORT OF A NEW EXPENSE, AND ALSO WE HAD ALSO PLANNED FOR $3 MILLION INCREASE IN LEGAL EXPENSES DUE TO, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THE SOUTH TERMINAL SETTLEMENT WAS GONNA OCCUR.

IF YOU BACK THOSE TWO ITEMS OUT, UH, YEAR OVER YEAR, THE EXPENSES ARE GROWING, GOING ABOUT GOING UP ABOUT 7%.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO THIS IS JUST A DETAIL ON WHAT IS COMPOSING THOSE INCREASES IN EXPENSES.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THE PERSONNEL COSTS ARE GOING UP ABOUT $1.4 MILLION.

UH, THIS INCLUDES A 4% WAGE INCREASE THAT, UH, THE ALL THE CITY EMPLOYEES ARE RECEIVING.

AND ALSO WE DO HAVE SOME INCREASE IN THEIR FOR OVER TIME AND TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES THAT, YOU KNOW, AS ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS IF WE NEEDED TO DO THAT.

IF PASSENGER TRAFFIC DOES PICK UP MORE THAN WE EXPECT.

ON THE CONTRACTUAL SIDE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE EXPENSES ARE GOING UP, ABOUT 16 AND A HALF A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

UH, I I TALKED ABOUT THE VANDER LAND EXPENSE, WHICH IS THE FIVE AND A HALF MILLION.

THE 3 MILLION IN LEGAL EXPENSES, PARKING EXPENSES ARE GOING UP ABOUT ONE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

UH, WE DO HAVE, UM, MORE, UM, SHUTTLE DRIVERS AND WE ARE TRYING TO HIRE MORE.

SO THERE'S EXPENSES THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR WE'VE SEEN INCREASE.

UM, THERE'S ALSO JANITORIAL STAFF AUGMENTATION COSTS, UH, BECAUSE OF THE VACANCIES THAT WE HAVE IN JANITORIAL SERVICES, WE HAVE ALMOST A 40% VACANCY IN JANITORIAL SERVICES.

WE HAVE TO HAVE, WE AUGMENTING THAT WITH CONTRACT LABOR.

UM, IT IS ALSO INCREASING BY ONE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS AND BUILDING MAINTENANCE, UH, WE HAVE STAFF AUGMENTATION IN BUILDING MAINTENANCE TOO FOR, UH, PLUMBING FOR ELECTRICIANS, ET CETERA.

SO THAT'S ALSO CAUSING THAT INCREASE YEAR OVER YEAR.

SOME OF THIS IS OFFSET BY VACANCY SAVINGS, BUT YOU SEDUCE SEE THAT INCREASE IN THE CONTRACTUAL SIDE HERE AND COMMODITIES ARE GOING UP ABOUT $700,000.

SO THOSE ARE THE MAIN EXPENSE DRIVERS NEXT YEAR.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO THIS IS OUR DEBT SERVICE.

UH, THIS COMES INTO PLAY IN OUR AIRLINE RATES AND CHARGES.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THE DEBT SERVICE IS GOING, THIS IS NET OF P F C APPLICATION, UH, IS GOING FROM 57 MILLION TO 67 MILLION, WHICH IS ANOTHER 10 MILLION INCREASE, WHICH IS ALSO DRIVING UP AIRLINE RATES IN THE, AT THE TERMINAL TOO.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO IN SUMMARY, UH, YOU CAN SEE FOR FISCAL YEAR 24, YOU KNOW THAT THE REVENUES ARE $289 MILLION.

UH, TOTAL REQUIREMENTS ARE ABOUT $241 MILLION, UM, INCLUDING DEBT SERVICE AND NET INCOME COMING TO ABOUT $50 MILLION.

UH, SO THIS ONE IMPORTANT FACTOR, UH, TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IS, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD THE CARES ACT AND THE CARISSA ACT AND THE ARPA FEDERAL RELIEF FUNDS IN THROUGH 2023 THAT IS NOT OCCURRING TO OFFSET EXPENSES IN 2024.

[00:20:02]

SO WHEN YOU BACK THAT OUT YEAR OVER YEAR, WE ARE VERY CLOSE IN TERMS OF NET INCOME.

SO THAT WAS OUR OPERATING EXPENSES.

ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR ON THE OPERATING EXPENSES? YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION.

OKAY.

COMMISSIONERS, UM, ANY QUESTIONS FROM YOU ALL FIRST, UM, TELL ME ABOUT THE, IS THE VAN DILAN, UM, CONTRACT ALSO FOR THE SOUTH TERMINAL AS WELL? NO.

SO THERE, THE SOUTH TERMINAL WILL RECEIVE 20, WILL HAVE TO HIRE 23 NEW EMPLOYEES, OR WILL THEY BE ALLOCATED FROM THE EXISTING EMPLOYEES? IT, IT WOULD, IT MIGHT BE A COM A COMBINATION OF BOTH.

UH, WE HAVE TO KIND OF DETERMINE THAT, YOU KNOW, HOW, UH, THE STAFFING IS GONNA WORK AND IT, IT'S GONNA BE DETERMINED BY THE LEVEL OF FLIGHT ACTIVITY AT THE SOUTH TERMINAL.

UM, WE DID GET SOME SCHEDULE CHANGES TO FRONTIER WHERE THEY ARE INCREASING THEIR FREQUENCIES TO, I BELIEVE LAS VEGAS AND, UM, WAS IT DENVER, I BELIEVE WAS THE OTHER ONE.

SO WE'LL HAVE TO KIND OF LOOK AT THAT AND SEE WHAT THE REQUIREMENT THERE IN TERMS OF STAFFING, BUT WE WILL DO A COMBINATION OF BOTH IF WE HAVE TO.

OKAY.

AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL 3 MILLION IN LEGAL FEES, IS THAT RELATED TO THE SOUTH TERMINAL OR IS THAT JUST MOST OF IT WAS, WE ARE HOPING IT WOULDN'T CONTINUE INTO NEXT YEAR.

WE'LL SEE .

YEAH, SO MY, I GUESS MY QUESTION WAS FOR, FOR THOSE THE 23 ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES FOR THE SOUTH TERMINAL AND FOR THE ADDITIONAL LEGAL FEES, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, UM, THE, THE BUDGET SHOULD EXPECT FOR NOT ONLY FISCAL YEAR 24, BUT MOVING FORWARD FOR A YEAR OR TWO BEYOND THAT? WELL, THE 23 ADDITIONAL, UH, FTES MIGHT CONTINUE UNTIL WE CLOSE THE SOUTH TERMINAL.

RIGHT.

BUT THE LEGAL FEES, WE HOPE IT DOESN'T CONTINUE BEYOND THIS FISCAL, HOPEFULLY IT'S, YOU KNOW, ENDS THIS FISCAL YEAR, BUT I'M LOOKING AT TRACY ON THAT.

BUT YEAH, SO THE LEGAL FEES SHOULD TECHNICALLY COME DOWN BECAUSE YOU GO BACK TO 2019 AND THE PAST, UM, LEGAL FEES HAVE BEEN UNDER $500,000.

UM, SO, YOU KNOW, WE, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE MIGHT, UM, INCUR, BUT YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAVE SOME SAVINGS THERE IF IT DOESN'T MATERIALIZE.

AND FOR, IN TERMS OF PAYROLL EXPENSES FOR CURRENT DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION EMPLOYEES MM-HMM.

THE ONLY, UM, THEY CAN ONLY EXPECT THE 4% COST OF LIVING INCREASE, BUT NOT THE PREVIOUS, UM, UH, INCENTIVE PAY? NO, THE PREVIOUS INCENTIVE IS IN THERE.

THE 10% RETENTION, THIS BUDGET RE IS BILLED ON THE 10% RETENTION.

OKAY.

UH, BONUS THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE.

BUT THERE IS, UM, THERE IS SOME TALK AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL OF REDUCING THAT RETENTION AMOUNT UHHUH, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT IS GONNA PLAY OUT.

UM, SO IT'S JUST A FLUID SITUATION, BUT IT IS A FLUID SITUATION.

IT'S BUDGETED FOR THOUGH, YES, IT IS BUDGETED FOR THE FULL 10% RETENTION.

VERY GOOD.

YES.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

YEAH.

OKAY.

OKAY.

UH, I'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

I HAVE A LITTLE COUPLE OF SLIDES ON THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE EXPECTATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR.

UH, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO NEXT YEAR'S PROJECTED CAPITAL SPEND IS ABOUT 235 MILLION.

MOST OF THAT, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THAT LITTLE TABLE, IT'S, UM, UH, ALLOCATED TO A E D P, UH, PROJECTS LIKE THE B J T OPTIMIZATION, UH, THE B H SS SYSTEM, THE WESTGATE EXPANSION, YOU KNOW, WORK ON CONCOURSE B INITIAL, YOU KNOW, WORK ON CONCOURSE B AND THE MIDFIELD TAXIWAYS THAT ARE GONNA BE WHERE THE MOST OF THOSE EXPENDITURES ARE.

AND THE OTHERS ARE LIKE RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT.

AND I LISTED THOSE PROJECTS, UH, WHERE THE SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL EXPENDITURES WE EXPECT IT TO BE IN THE, IN THE TABLE AT THE BOTTOM.

OKAY.

AND THE, FOR THE FIVE YEAR C I P THAT WE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY, UH, NEXT SLIDE.

ME, SORRY.

UH, YOU CAN SEE MOST OF THE INITIAL EXPENDITURES IN 24 AND 25 ARE RELATED TO THE B J T OPTIMIZATION AND THE MIDFIELD TAXIWAY PROJECTS, AND THEN THE EXPENDITURES GO INTO THE, UM, THE CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT AND ALSO CONCOURSE B EXPENDITURES START TAKING BIGGER PROPORTIONS OF THE TOTAL EXPENDITURES GOING FORWARD.

I HAVE A CLARIFICATION QUESTION.

YEP.

ARE DESIGN FEES INCLUDED IN C I P FUNDING? YES.

SO A LOT OF THESE ARE DESIGN FEES BECAUSE WE, THE, YOU WILL NOT BE BREAKING GROUND ON SOME OF THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE LISTED HERE RIGHT AWAY.

WELL, IN THE, IN THE FIVE YEAR TIMEFRAME WE MIGHT BE, BUT NOT IN 2024.

[00:25:01]

WILL PROBABLY BE DESIGNED, BUT, UM, MAYBE THERE'LL BE CONSTRUCTION COSTS RELATED TO MAYBE THE MIDFIELD, TAXIWAY, SOME OF THE PRE-PLANNING AND PRE PREPARATION OF THAT, ET CETERA, WILL HAPPEN.

GOT IT.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, THAT WAS IT.

THANK YOU.

THIS WAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SHARING WITH US.

THIS WITH US.

UM, COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I WILL SAY FOR OUR PURPOSES, OH, HEY JONATHAN, JUST, JUST A SECOND HERE.

UM, UH, I KNOW THAT WE, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AS A COMMISSION TO COMMENT ON THE BUDGET, AND THAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDES THE BUDGET, BUT PRIOR TO WHEN YOUR BUDGET IS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.

MM-HMM.

SO JUST THINKING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, NINE MONTHS, WHAT WE MIGHT LIKE TO RECOMMEND AS A BOARD MAY BE IMPORTANT TO START LOOKING AT BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.

CERTAINLY EMPLOYMENT IS A BIG PART OF THIS PUZZLE, AND YOU'RE NOT ALONE AT THE AIRPORT AND STAFFING UP TO LEVELS THAT ARE REQUIRED, BUT ANYTHING TO INCENTIVIZE AND, AND, UM, YEAH, THAT OPPORTUNITY, I, I THINK WE MENTIONED IT WAS IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR WHERE YOU WOULD'VE TO SUBMIT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BUDGET OFFICE.

UM, THE BUDGET OFFICE LIKES TO CONSOLIDATE ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE, YOU KNOW, AND SO THEY CAN KEEP TRACK OF ALL THOSE THINGS.

AND SO, UH, WE WILL REMIND YOU AGAIN IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE OR WHEN THAT DEADLINE COMES UP AND YOU WOULD SUBMIT IT, THEY WOULD COPY US ON IT, BUT THEY MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE INCORPORATING THOSE SUGGESTIONS INTO OUR BUDGET.

GREAT.

BUT IT'S HARD TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION WITHOUT A BASELINE UNDERSTANDING.

AND NOW I THINK IF WE STUDY THIS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

WHAT'S HAPPENING? UM, COMMISSIONER KUHN, UH, I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAVE DATA THAT OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW WHAT OUR REVENUE IS FOR EMPLOYMENT.

DO WE KNOW WHAT OUR PASSENGERS ARE PAYING FOR IMP EMPLOYMENT? DO WE GET THAT DATA FROM THE AIRLINES? I I BELIEVE THE FA DOES PUT AN AVERAGE, UM, PASSENGER TICKET, UM, INFORMATION OUT THERE.

THEN MKI MIGHT KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THAT.

YEAH.

IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION, JONATHAN, THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, REVENUE PER IN PLAIN PASSENGER THAT THE AIRLINE MAKES HERE LOCALLY.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY DISCLOSE.

THEY KIND OF DILUTE THAT IN THEIR QUARTERLY EARNINGS CALLS OF WHAT THEY'RE MAKING SYSTEM-WIDE AND DIVIDED BY THE TOTAL AVAILABLE SEAT MILES THAT THEY FLY.

UM, FARES IS WHAT RAJIV WAS, UH, WAS, UH, TALKING ABOUT.

AND THAT'S IN THE BUREAU OF, OF, UH, TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS, THE V T S REPORTS.

UM, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF A LAG THERE IS IN THAT DATA, BUT THERE IS LIKE AN AVERAGE FAIR STRUCTURE, UM, AVERAGE TICKET PRICE INFORMATION THAT'S AVAILABLE.

WE CAN, WE CAN LOOK FOR THAT BY AIRPORT.

THEY PROVIDE THAT.

YEAH.

SO WE CAN LOOK FOR THAT AND SHARE THAT INFORMATION.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

I, I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY THOUGH.

LIKE BASICALLY WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR PASSENGERS ARE ACTUALLY PAYING.

THE REASON I'M ASKING IS, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS LIKE AS WE GET CAPACITY CONSTRAINT FARES ARE GOING TO INCREASE FOR OUR PASSENGERS, AND SO IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WE HAVE A WAY TO MEASURE HOW MUCH OUR PASSENGERS ARE ACTUALLY PAYING.

THAT'S CORRECT.

YEAH.

WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING INTERNALLY THAT IS SHARED WITH US BY THE AIRLINE.

SO WE DO DEPEND ON THAT, UH, THE F A A DATA, UH, TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE AVERAGE FAIR PRICES ARE AT VARIOUS AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY.

AND WE WEREN'T, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I THINK WE WERE PROBABLY MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THE LAST DATA THAT I SAW, BUT WE CAN SHARE THAT DATA WITH YOU.

THANK YOU.

UM, I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE COMMISSIONER BROCK IS ON THE LINE FOR THE ATTENDANCE FOR TODAY, AND ALSO I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT FORMALLY INTRODUCING OUR NEWEST COMMISSIONER PRESENT TODAY, COMMISSIONER FONG FONG.

UM, AT THE SEPTEMBER MEETING, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU AND THE NEW COMMISSIONER ELLER AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE YOURSELVES TO EVERYBODY, BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

OKAY.

I'M GONNA MOVE ALONG TO, UH, UNLESS THERE ARE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF HERE, UM, MAYBE WE CAN PUT THEM IN WRITING IF WE DO, REGARDING THE BUDGET.

I'M GONNA MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER

[6. Briefing on required update to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Master Development Plan (MDP) Ordinance presented by Somer Shindler, Chief Officer, Planning and Development.]

WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST, UM, AGENDA TODAY WITH A LOT OF STAFF INFORMATION, SO I WANNA SORT OF KEEP MOVING HERE.

UM, SUMMER, WELCOME.

SUMMER SCHINDLER IS GOING TO DISCUSS, UM, AN UPDATE TO THE, UM, A MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'M SUMMER SCHINDLER, CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED WITH THE SLIDE, UM, PRESENTATION.

UM, FIRST I JUST WANNA START OFF WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE AIRPORT.

I THINK, UM, UM, MANY OF YOU SAW THIS DURING, UM, YOUR, UH, ORIENTATION, UM, AT THE AIRPORT,

[00:30:01]

AND THIS IS REALLY KIND OF THE BASIS OF THIS ORDINANCE, UM, AND OF ITSELF AS, UM, THE, UH, COLLECTIVE, UM, UM, VARIANCES THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE TO, UM, TO, UH, OPEN AN, AN AIRPORT, A COMMERCIAL AIRPORT.

UM, WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SITE PLEASE.

SO, A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT THE ORDINANCE.

IT WAS PASSED IN 1994 WITH THE PRE-APPROVED VARIANCES TO THE, UM, LAND DEVELOPMENT CALLED THE L D C NECESSARY TO CONSTRUCT AN AIRPORT FOLLOWING THE F A A GUIDELINES AND A WATER QUALITY COMPLIANCE PLAN THAT GOVERNED THE DRAINAGE OF THE DEVELOPMENT FOR LARGELY ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES.

IT WAS ALSO, IT ALSO ADDRESSED CODE VARIANCES NECESSARY TO CONVERT A BASE TO CITY OWNED PROPERTY.

IN 2012, AN UPDATE TO THE M D P ADDRESSED CHANGES IN DRAINAGE PLANNING REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT NEEDS AS A U S KNEW THEM AT THE TIME, IT STATED THAT THE ORDINANCE BE REVIEWED EVERY 10 YEARS.

IN 2022, A U S D S D AND WATERSHED BEGAN THE REVIEW OF THE ORDINANCE TO ADDRESS ANY UPDATES TO THE CODE DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS.

AND NOW BECAUSE WE HAD IT, UM, KNEW THAT A, A VERY DETAILED 10 YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THE M D P SERVES AS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE AIRPORT BOUNDARY.

IT SERVES AS AN OMNIBUS POPULATION OF PRE-APPROVED VARIANCES TO CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE CODE IF NEEDED, PROVIDING CLARITY FOR CODE REVIEWERS WHEN REVIEWING, BUILDING, AND SITE PLANS FOR NEW REDEVELOPED AND EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.

GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THE REVIEW AND ADOPTION IS MAINLY ADMINISTRATIVE AND IN IT'S NECESSARY FOR CODE REVIEWERS.

THE M D P ESTABLISHES CONSISTENT PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW REDEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPED, AND EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A LONG TERM IN OUR THIS CASE, A 10 YEAR DEVELOPMENT.

THE TIMING OF THIS REVIEW ALIGNS WITH THE A E D P, WHICH ALLOWED FOR A MUCH MORE DETAILED REVIEW.

UM, BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CHANGES IN IN ADDITIONS ARE MORE DEFINED THAN PREVIOUSLY.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS ORDINANCE ALIGNS FUTURE AND NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH CURRENT CITY CODE.

DUE TO UPDATES OF WATER DRAINAGE CODE ELEMENTS, IT WAS NECESSARY TO DEFINE CERTAIN SECTIONS FOR THE CODE REVIEWERS FOR CLARIFICATION, WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND, UM, I'LL GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THE PROPOSED VARIANCES.

UM, WE, UM, WE'VE GOT INFORMATION FROM LAW THAT WHEN, UM, THE ORDINANCE GOES TO, UM, PLANNING COMMISSION ON AUGUST 22ND, WE WILL HAVE THAT DRAFT ORDINANCE, UM, DONE WITH ALL THE BACKUP EXHIBITS IN THERE AS WELL.

SO THAT SHOULD BE, UM, READY BEFORE THAT MEETING.

UM, START WITH THIS ONE.

WITH THESE, UM, THE VARIANCES TO, UM, SECTION 25 22, UM, MULTIPLE STRUCTURES FROM THE STROM AIR FORCE BASE REVERTED TO THE CITY OF AUSTIN AS PART OF THE BASE REALIGNMENT.

AS FEDERAL STRUCTURES MOST WERE EXEMPT FROM CITY REQUIREMENT TO OBTAIN A SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT.

THIS ALLOWS A US TO USE THE AIRPORT'S MASTER SITE PLAN AS THE PROJECT SITE PLAN TO OBTAIN BUILDING DEMOLITION PERMIT FOR EXISTING AIR FORCE STRUCTURES OVER 10,000 SQUARE FEET.

ALL LAND DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING DEMOLITION WILL ADHERE TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND IN AN INDIVIDUAL SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT WILL BE ATTAINED FOR SECTION 25 2.

REGARDING ZONING SUB CHAPTER E, THIS REQUESTED BY, UM, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT D S D, THE VARIS CLEARLY STATES THAT A U S WILL ENSURE SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES AS IT GROWS IN THE CAMPUS WIDE PEDESTRIAN PATH SYSTEM.

THIS JUST ALIGNED CITY CODE TO SIMPLIFY SAN SITE PLAN REVIEW AND SECTION 25 5 44.

IT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE AND DICTATES HOW TO SUBMIT SITE PLAN APPLICATIONS FOR REVIEW GIVES ADDED FLEXIBILITY FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF A LARGE, COMPLICATED SITE THAT WAS BUILT WITH OVER 100 INDIVIDUAL SITE PLANS.

THIS ALLOWS FOR OVERLAPPING SITE PLANS UNDER REVIEW CONCURRENTLY, WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SITE PLEASE FOR SECTION 25 DASH FIVE DASH 81 A U S HAS A MASTER SITE PLAN ENCOMPASSING THE ENTIRE 4,200 ACRE CAMPUS THAT ILLUSTRATES EXISTING AND ULTIMATE BUILD OUT CONDITIONS ON A LONGER PLANNING TIMEFRAME THAN A SMALL INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT.

THE MASTER SITE PLAN WILL HAVE PERIODIC REVIEW AT LEAST EVERY 10 YEARS AMONG D S D, UM, WATERSHED PROTECTION DEPARTMENT AND A U S MASTER SITE PLAN WILL CONTINUE TO BE UPDATED AS DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT OCCURS ON SECTION 25 DASH 7 15 2.

THIS IS ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE AS IT EXEMPTS THE CITY FROM ISSUING FLOODPLAIN EASEMENTS TO ITSELF.

A U S COMPLIES WITH ALL FLOODPLAIN REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER SETBACKS REQUIRED BY THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS TO THE FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATOR.

NEXT

[00:35:01]

SUBSECTIONS B THREE AND C OF SECTION 25 DASH EIGHT DASH TWO 11.

THIS EXEMPTS NEW OR REDEVELOPMENT AIRCRAFT TAXI LINKS FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE WATER QUALITY CONTROL.

IF THE EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF EXISTING IMPERVIOUS COVER THAT CURRENTLY DOES NOT RECEIVE WATER QUALITY TREATMENT IS REMOVED AND RESTORED.

I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A U S CURRENTLY HAS A TRACKING REPORT THAT TRACKS ALL IMPERVIOUS COVER, UM, AS A CAMPUS, UM, WE CURRENTLY HAVE 27% IN IMPERVIOUS COVER.

AND, UM, WITH OUR CURRENT 10 YEAR PLAN, WE SEE THAT MAY GOING UP TO, UM, POTENTIALLY 30% SUBSECTION A OF SECTION 25 DASH 8 23.

THIS ALLOWS VEGETATED FILTER STRIPS.

OH, APOLOGIES ABOUT THAT, UM, LITTLE EXPLANATION ON TAXI LANES.

TAXI LANES ARE NOT HIGH POLLUTANT AREAS AS THE AIRCRAFT OR EQUIPMENT ARE NOT, ARE NOT PARKED OR STAGED IN TAXI LANES.

ACTIVITIES LIKE DEICING AND FUELING HAPPENS AT THE GATES WHERE A U S HAS STRICT PROTOCOLS AND POLICIES IN PLACE REGARDING SPILLS AND CONTAINMENT IN THAT AREA.

SUBSECTION A OF SECTION 25 DASH EIGHT DASH TWO 13, THIS ALLOWS VEGETATED FILTER STRIPS AT THE WATER QUALITY CONTROL FOR RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY PAVEMENT TO COMPLY WITH F A A SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND PREVENT WILDLIFE ATTRACTANTS NEAR RUNWAYS.

AND TAXIWAYS VEGETATED FILTER STRIPS ARE PREFERRED OVER LARGE QUAL LARGE QUALITY PONDS.

A U S HAS A LARGE GREEN SPACE IN VEGETATED INFILL AREAS BETWEEN AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS, AND THAT'S PART OF AIRFIELD DESIGN STANDARDS.

NEXT PAGE, PLEASE.

SUBSECTION B TWO A SECTION 25 DASH EIGHT DASH TWO THREE OF THE CODE.

THIS VARIANCE LIMITS STORM WATER CAPTURE VOLUME TO THE FIRST HALF INCH OF RUNOFF FOR THE CONSTRAINED DEVELOPMENT AREA IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODE AT THE TIME OF THE ORIGINAL AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT.

ALL AREAS DEVELOPED OUTSIDE OF THE CD C D A, THE CONSTRAINED DEVELOPMENT AREA WILL ADHERE TO NEWER CODE C D A, UM, REDEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA.

FOR THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, JUST AS WHY WE PUT THIS IN HERE, IT WILL, IF WE REDEVELOP THIS AREA, THIS WILL CALL SIGNIFICANT INTERRUPTIONS TO THE AIRPORT OPERATIONS.

THE C D A INCLUDES THE OPERATIONAL AREAS OF THE AIRPORT TERMINAL CIRCULATION, PARKING, AIRCRAFT STAGING, AND TAXING FOCUS FOR THE WATER QUALITY CAPTURE IS THE HIGH POLLUTANT AREAS OF THE C D A, WHICH INCLUDES THE GATE AREAS WHERE I MENTIONED WHERE AIRCRAFT DEICING OCCURS.

HALF INCH CAPTURE IS APPLIED TO THE C D A WITH COMPENSATORY TREATMENT IN AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE DEFINED C D A FOR OVERALL QUALITY TREATMENT AREAS ON THE CAMPUS.

AND WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND THAT WILL SHOW THE LIMITS OF WHERE THE C D A ACTUALLY IS WITHIN THE, THE RED PARK.

SO IN THAT PRE-DEVELOPED AREA, UM, THAT IS WHERE, UM, THE, THE VARIANCES OCCUR TO THAT EXISTING DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE THERE, UM, FOR THAT WATER CAPTURE.

AND THAT WATER CAPTURE IS ABOUT WATER QUALITY ONLY, UM, OF THE TREATMENT.

WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

THIS IS SECTION 25 DASH EIGHT DASH 2 61 OF THE CODE.

THIS ALLOWS DEVELOPMENT IN THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE.

WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE JUST SO THAT YOU CAN GET A BETTER VIEW OF WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE.

UM, HERE, UM, SEVERAL CHANNELS WITHIN ARE ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT OPERATIONS AREA.

THE A O A ARE MANMADE CHANNELS THAT SERVE LARGE DRAINAGE AREAS, AND PER F A A CODE HAVE REQUIRED SETBACKS.

WE WANNA HIGH HIGHLIGHT THOSE AREAS.

YOU'LL SEE HERE NEAR THE RUNWAYS AND THE SPIRIT OF TEXAS ROADWAYS.

THEY'RE HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE.

AND THOSE ARE THE AREAS THAT OVERLAP IN THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE.

AND THOSE AREAS ARE, UH, IT'S IMPORTANT.

THESE ARE MANNED MADE, ESSENTIALLY DITCH DITCHES OR, UM, CONCRETE DITCH AREAS OR, UM, MANMADE DITCHES BETWEEN THE RUNWAYS.

UM, AND THIS, BECAUSE OF THEIR SIZE, THEY ACTUALLY CREATED, UM, WATER QUALITY ZONE.

THESE SPECIFIC CHANNELS CANNOT HAVE REPAIRING ZONES OR CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE RUNWAYS OR AIRCRAFT.

TAXIWAYS AND APRONS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE GREEN AREAS ARE AREAS THAT A U S WILL EXPAND THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE.

UM, SO WE WILL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT CODE REQUIRES AROUND NATURAL WATERWAYS AND CREEKS.

OKAY, WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

THIS IS SECTION, UM, VARIANCES SECTION 25 DASH EIGHT DASH 3 41 FOR CUT, CUT, AND FILL REQUIREMENTS, AS WELL AS SECTION 25 DASH 8 3 42.

THIS ENSURES A U SS CAN DEVELOP THE AIRFIELD AND SURROUNDING SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IN COMPLIANCE WITH F A A AIRFIELD DESIGN CRITERIA AND ENSURE THAT THE F A A REQUIREMENTS FOR LINE OF SIGHT AND HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE MET.

THIS IS, FOR EXAMPLE, RUNWAYS NEED TO BE FLAT AND REQUIRE LEVELING

[00:40:01]

THE GRADING AND DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE IS MODELED IN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MODEL TO ENSURE NO ADVERSE DOWNSTREAMS ARE IMPACTED DUE TO ANY VARIANCES THAT WE MAY ALLOW.

SO THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED, UM, UH, VARIANCE THAT GETS APPROVED.

IT'S DOES ALLOW US IF NEEDED TO ABIDE BY F A A REGULATIONS SECTION 25 DASH EIGHT DASH 6 24, SECTION 25 DASH 8 6 42 AND SECTION 25 DASH 8 6 43.

THIS SPECIFIES THE, THE TREE TRIMMING REMOVAL WORK DONE WITHIN A RIPARIAN OR CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE BE PERFORMED USING THE LEAST INVASIVE MEANS.

AVAILABLE MITIGATION MEASURES WILL INCLUDE ANNUAL TREE PLANTING ON A U S PROPERTY OUTSIDE AN AIRCRAFT SAFETY AREA, AND PROTECTED AIRSPACE.

THIS ONLY APPLIES TO AREAS WHERE TREES ENCROACH ON PROTECTIVE AIRSPACE PRESENTING AN IMMINENT HAZARD TO LIFE OR PROPERTY.

AND THE LAST ONE, UH, LAST VARIANCE, UM, TO, UH, CHAPTER 25 DASH NINE IS THE RETROFIT AND EXISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 750,000 SQUARE FOOT TERMINAL TO MEET THEIR WATER REUSE CODE REQUIREMENTS WOULD, UM, CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL, UM, OPERATIONAL IMPACT TO THAT INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE EXISTING BARBARA JORDAN.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE NEW CONCOURSE AND ANY NEW VERTICAL STRUCTURE, ANY INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE THE CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT, THE PARKING GARAGES AND ANY OTHER FACILITIES THAT TRIGGER THE REQUIREMENTS WILL COMPLY WITH A WATER FORWARD CONSERVATION REQUIREMENT.

AND WE'LL EITHER USE RAINWATER HARVEST HARVESTING OR RECLAIMED WATER FOR TOILET FLUSHING.

SO THIS JUST REALLY EXCLUDES THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE BARBARA JORDAN TERMINAL.

GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THERE ARE COMMITMENTS TO A U S IS IS MAKING, UM, JUST AS THE INCREASED BUFFER ON THE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONE, UM, THAT ARE ABOVE AND BEYOND.

SO WATER CONSERVATION MEASUREMENT FOR NEW CONCOURSE AND OTHER NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL COMPLY WITH WATER FORWARD CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS.

WE HAVE A COMMITMENT UP TO $10 MILLION IN PROJECTS TO, TO FOR WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS.

AND THEN WE HAVE ALSO, BASED OFF THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION, UM, WE DO PERFORM WATER QUALITY TESTING, BUT WE WILL, UM, UH, GO WITH POSTING THOSE RESULTS ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL.

AND YOU CAN SEE SOME PICTURES OF THE TYPES OF PROJECTS, UM, THAT THIS TEAM DOES AND THAT THE PRO THE PROJECTS THAT WE, WE DO, WE CREATE WITH WATERSHED AS WELL.

AND WE'LL GO TO THE, THE NEXT SLIDE AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH ACTIVITIES.

GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS.

KYLE CARVELL.

UH, I KNOW I'M A NEW FACE TO THE COMMISSION.

I AM THE AIRPORT RELATIONS OFFICER.

UH, MY ROLE AT THE AIRPORT IS TO STAND UP A COMMUNITY AFFAIRS PROGRAM, WHICH INCLUDES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND EFFECTIVELY BUILD BETTER TRUST AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS AND WITH THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE.

AND SO IN THAT VEIN TODAY, I HAVE A COUPLE OF SLIDES I'M GONNA GO OVER WITH YOU ON WHAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE PAST, UH, MONTH FOR THE M D P ORDINANCE UPDATE.

UH, ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AS YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH, THERE WAS THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING WHERE THIS ITEM CAME BEFORE, UH, THAT BODY AHEAD OF THAT MEETING.

THERE WAS AN EMAIL FROM THE COMMUNITY, UH, WITH, UH, A NUMBER OF NOTED CONCERNS.

WE WORKED WITH SUMMER'S TEAM TO RESPOND TO ALL OF THOSE CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS, UH, OUTLINING ALL OF THE INFORMATION, UH, THAT YOU JUST HEARD FROM SUMMER AND ADDRESSING, UH, SOME OF THOSE SPECIFIC, UH, CONCERNS.

WHAT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO WITH THAT EMAIL WAS TO REITERATE WHAT THIS ORDINANCE IN THIS UPDATE IS DOING AND WHAT IT IS NOT DOING.

UM, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT THOSE CONCERNS WERE AND PROVIDE WHATEVER ASSURANCES WE COULD TO THE PUBLIC.

AND SO I THINK MOST OF YOU GOT A COPY OF THAT EMAIL.

IF YOU DIDN'T, I'M HAPPY TO SEND IT TO YOU.

UM, CERTAINLY THAT WAS NOT THE ONLY ACTIVITY THAT WE DID WITHIN THE VEIN OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, UNDERSTANDING THAT THE RECIPIENTS OF THOSE EMAILS, UH, THAT EMAIL WAS WASN'T THE FULL COMMUNITY AROUND THE AIRPORT.

WE REACHED OUT TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT KNOWN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE'RE WORKING TO BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY SAW THOSE QUESTIONS, OUR RESPONSES, AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNEW THAT WE WERE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY HAD.

NEXT SLIDE.

ANOTHER ACTIVITY, UH, ABOUT FOUR WEEKS AGO.

SO NEARLY A MONTH, WE STOOD UP A DEDICATED WEBSITE USING PUBLIC INPUT.COM.

THIS IS A TOOL THAT A NUMBER OF CITY DEPARTMENTS USE TO HAVE, UM, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES TO SHARE INFORMATION AND OF, OF COURSE TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY.

SO IF YOU GO TO THAT SITE, YOU WILL SEE KIND OF A DISTILLED VERSION OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED WITH THE M D P ORDINANCE UPDATE.

UM, THAT ALSO INCLUDES A BREAKDOWN OF EACH VARIANCE, WHICH SUMMER JUST DID, AND REALLY DIVES INTO AGAIN, WHAT THIS IS DOING AND WHAT IT IS NOT DOING, UH, AND HOW IT MAY OR MAY NOT IMPACT THE COMMUNITY.

SO ON THAT WEBSITE, UH, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THAT WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS, WITH YOUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND WITHIN YOUR NETWORK.

WE REALLY WANT TO BE

[00:45:01]

AND SO SINCE THE LAUNCH OF THIS WEBSITE, WE'VE GOTTEN ABOUT 300 UNIQUE VISITORS.

UH, WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO THIS POINT, BUT WE'RE STILL ACTIVELY SOLICITING THOSE.

AND, UH, ANYTHING THAT WE DO RECEIVE, WE'LL BE SURE TO RESPOND TO AND OF COURSE, SHARE WITH ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED.

NEXT SLIDE.

THESE ARE SOME SCREEN GRABS FROM THE WEBSITE, AS YOU CAN SEE.

AND AS YOU KNOW, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF VARIANCES THAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH AND TRYING TO BREAK THOSE DOWN INTO SIMPLE TERMS THAT SOMEONE LIKE ME AS A LAYPERSON CAN UNDERSTAND, UH, WAS A TASK.

BUT WE KNOW WITH THIS TECHNICAL INFORMATION, WE NEED TO BE TRANSPARENT AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE BEING, UH, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS WITH THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE SHARING AND WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN SEE THIS, UH, AND REACH OUT TO US WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

NEXT SLIDE.

LAST SLIDE HERE.

THIS IS JUST KIND OF A WRAP UP OF WHAT THOSE ACTIVITIES HAVE LOOKED LIKE.

UH, WE'VE NOTIFIED, NOTIFIED 300 PLUS RESIDENTS OF THE WEBSITE ANSWERED QUESTIONS, UH, THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED TO US.

WE'VE CROSS PROMOTED THE WEBSITE AND INPUT OPPORTUNITIES WITH OUR PARTNERS IN THE DISTRICT TWO OFFICE.

WE'D LIKE TO THANK THEM FOR THAT.

UH, WE'VE PROMOTED THE SITE ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS, WHICH HAVE A LARGE FOLLOWING AT THE AIRPORT, AND WE'VE OFFERED IN-PERSON MEETINGS TO MULTIPLE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.

SO THE NEXT BIG TOUCH POINT IS GOING TO BE THIS COMING MONDAY, UH, AIRPORT, UH, STAFF IS JOINING WITH WATERSHED PROTECTION TO GO TO THE SOUTHEAST COMBINE, UH, SOUTHEAST COMBINED NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING CONTACT TEAM.

GOT IT.

UH, THEIR MONTHLY MEETING TO SHARE INFORMATION.

AND WE ACTUALLY JUST HAD A MEETING WITH THEM TODAY AT, UH, THE LOCATION FOR THAT, UH, MEETING.

I BELIEVE IT'S AT THE SOUTHEAST BRANCH LIBRARY ON KNUCKLES CROSSING IN SOUTHEAST AUSTIN.

SO WE'LL BE PROVIDING A PRESENTATION TO THEM, RECEIVING FEEDBACK, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED TO THE COMMUNITY.

UH, OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE OTHER TOUCH POINTS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEN EVENTUALLY GOING TO CITY COUNCIL.

SO THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COMMENT AS WELL.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING THAT FORWARD.

UM, WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY NEXT MONTH TO, UM, DISCUSS AND PO AND RECOMMEND THIS PRIOR TO COUNCIL'S VOTING ON IT.

IT'S A 10 YEAR COMMITMENT TO UNRAVELING SOME VARIANCES AND, YOU KNOW, CODE REQUIREMENTS THAT, UM, IN TERMS OF RESILIENCE CAN BE TROUBLING FOR THOSE LIVING WITHIN A MILE OR TWO OF THE AIRPORT.

UM, BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TRANSPARENCY AND USING PLAIN LANGUAGE WHERE POSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO US AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM YOU ALL AT THIS TIME? WOW.

WELL, UM, WHAT TIME, WHAT TIME IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING CONTACT TEAM MEETING ON MONDAY? I BELIEVE THAT IT'S AT 6:30 PM OKAY.
