          UH, THE FIRST 
          [2. Briefing on January 2025 Financial Results presented by Rajeev Thomas, Chief Financial Officer]
ITEM IS BRIEFING ON JANUARY 8TH, 2025. 
          FINANCIAL RESULTS PRESENTED BY RAJEEV THOMAS, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. 
          DO WE HAVE RAJEEV? GOOD AFTERNOON, THIS IS WILL MACK. 
          I AM THE FINANCIAL MANAGER OF THE OPERATING BUDGET PRESENTING ON BEHALF OF RAJEEV TODAY. 
          UH, SO WE HAVE TODAY THE JANUARY 20, 25 FINANCIAL RESULTS IN JANUARY, 2025. 
          WE SERVED 683,000 PASSENGER IN EMPLOYMENTS, WHICH IS A 5.9%, UH, DECLINE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. 
          AVERAGE DAILY DEPARTURES TOTALED 204 IN JANUARY COMPARED TO 224 IN THE PRIOR YEAR. 
          LOOKING AT OUR OPERATING REVENUES, UH, OUR OPERATING REVENUES TOTALED 25.8 MILLION IN JANUARY, 2025. 
          A 9.3% INCREASE, UH, OR $2.2 MILLION INCREASE. 
          THESE, UH, THE INCREASE IN, IN THE REVENUES IS PRIMARILY THE ROLE RESULT OF THE UPDATED RATES AND CHARGES IN FY 25 COMPARED TO THE PRIOR YEAR, YEAR TO DATE, OUR OPERATING REVENUES INCREASED $10.7 MILLION OR 10%. 
          OPERATING EXPENSES INCREASED $4.4 MILLION IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY, OR 38% COMPARED TO THE PRIOR, UH, YEAR. 
          THERE WERE THREE PAY PERIODS IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY, 2025 COMPARED TO ONLY TWO IN 2024. 
          UH, WHICH DRIVES THAT INCREASE. 
          WE SEE THAT TWICE A YEAR. 
          WE'VE GOT, UH, MONTHS THAT HAVE THREE PAY PERIODS PAID OUT. 
          AND SO THE ACCOUNTING, UH, WE JUST HAVE TO NOTE THAT AS WE COMPARE THOSE TO THE PRIOR YEARS, AND THAT'S WHAT DRIVES A SIGNIFICANT PORTION, UH, THE MAJORITY OF THE PORTION OF THAT, THAT VARIANCE. 
          ADDITIONALLY, IN JANUARY 25, WE'VE GOT IMPROVED STAFFING AND INCREASED CONTRACTUAL COSTS THAT DRIVE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. 
          COMPARED TO JANUARY 24 YEAR TO DATE, OUR OPERATING EXPENSES INCREASED $7.8 MILLION OR, UH, 16%. 
          UH, I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT, UH, YEAR TO DATE, THERE'S ONE ADDITIONAL PAY PERIOD CONSIDERED THERE JUST AS THERE IS IN, IN JANUARY. 
          SO THERE'S STILL SOME VARIANCE THERE, UH, ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, THAT PAYROLL, WE'LL EVEN THAT OUT BY THE TIME WE GET TO MARCH, UM, AND, AND HAVE MORE OF AN EVEN VIEW OF THE YEAR. 
          YEAR TO DATE, THE SURPLUS TOTALED $25.3 MILLION. 
          THAT'S A 10% DECREASE COMPARED TO THE PRIOR YEAR. 
          UM, AGAIN, THE THE THIRD PAY PERIOD IS THE, IS THE MAJOR DRIVER OF THAT VARIANCE. 
          YEAR TO DATE OUR SURPLUS IS 8% OR $1.9 MILLION ABOVE OUR, UH, SEASONALIZED BUDGET ESTIMATE. 
          HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UH, ANYONE HAS ON THE JANUARY 25 FINANCIALS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WALK ME THROUGH AGAIN, THE VARIANCE BETWEEN, UH, NET INCOME FY 25, JANUARY 25, AND JANUARY 24. 
          THE NET INCOME, SO THE BOTTOM LINE HERE, JANUARY 25 FOR THE MONTH WE HAD ABOUT $337,000 OF NET INCOME COMPARED TO 4.8 MILLION THE PRIOR YEAR. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING. 
          SO THE VARIANCE THERE, UM, IS PRIMARILY A RESULT OF THE INCREASED EXPENSES. 
          AND SO THE INCREASED THE, THE EXPENSES IN JANUARY 25 ARE ELEVATED, UM, BECAUSE OF THAT THIRD PAY PERIOD, EACH PAY PERIOD, WE HAVE ABOUT BETWEEN 2.5 AND $3 MILLION OF PERSONNEL COST. 
          AND SO, UH, WHEN WE HAVE A MONTH WHERE THE PAY PERIODS ALIGN, WHERE WE HAVE THREE OF 'EM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE INCREASED COST IN THAT PERIOD. 
          SO THAT'S THE, THE MAJOR DRIVER OF THAT DECLINE IN, UH, IN THE NET INCOME FOR THE MONTH ACROSS THE YEAR THAT EVENS OUT. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE, YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME DYNAMIC IN THE REVENUES WHERE YOU'VE GOT BOOSTED REVENUES BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT SOME, UH, TIMING ISSUE. 
          SO IT, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE AND ANSWER THE QUESTION? IT IT MAKES SENSE, BUT IT'S A PRETTY BIG DIFFERENCE. 
          YES, SIR. 
          AND ONE PAY PERIOD MAKES THAT BIG A DIFFERENCE. 
          YES, SIR. 
          IT'S ABOUT $3 MILLION OF COST PER PAY PERIOD, UH, THAT DRIVES THAT. 
          AND THAT'S JUST PERSONNEL. 
          I SHOULD ALSO MENTION, UM, WE HAVE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS WITH, UM, OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERS ALSO WITH OUR, UH, SOME OF OUR, OUR PARKING OPERATOR AND OTHERS THAT HAVE A SIMILAR DYNAMIC 
          [00:10:01]
WHERE BECAUSE OF THE, THE, THE WAY THE PAY PERIODS ALIGN IN THE MONTH, THEY HAVE THREE PAY PERIODS AT THE SAME TIME. 
          WE DO. 
          SO EVERY YEAR, TWICE, TWO MONTHS EVERY YEAR, WE'RE GONNA HAVE, UH, ELEVATED COST BECAUSE OF THAT DYNAMIC. 
          BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE, WE CONSIDER WHEN WE BUILD OUR, OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE YEAR. 
          UH, WE SEASONALIZED OUR BUDGET, WE, WE EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN. 
          COMMISSIONERS, ANY, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE ONE. 
          I GUESS IT'S IN, IN TWO PARTS. 
          AND, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE, THE PRESENTATION. 
          UH, I SEE THAT BOTH PARKING AND RETAIL ARE DOWN. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY, UH, IDEAS AS TO WHY THAT MIGHT BE BE THE CASE? SURE. 
          SO, UH, PARKING AND RETAIL, THEY DID INCREASE YEAR OVER YEAR, BUT WE ARE SHOWING A BUDGET VARIANCE, UH, COMPARED TO, TO WHAT WE EXPECTED. 
          SO THE, THE DRIVER OF THAT IS GONNA BE PASSENGER TRAFFIC AS WE'VE REFERENCED. 
          THE PASSENGER TRAFFIC IS, UH, DOWN, UH, YEAR OVER YEAR BY ABOUT 6% IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY. 
          UH, AND THEN WE ALSO HAD, UH, DECLINES IN SOME OF THE PRIOR MONTHS BEFORE, UH, BEFORE THIS OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER. 
          AND SO THAT'S GOING TO, THAT'S GONNA DRIVE THAT VARIANCE IN REVENUE FOR PARKING. 
          UH, WE'RE STILL SHOWING INCREASES IN THE PARKING REVENUE YEAR OVER YEAR JUST COMPARED TO THAT, THAT FORECAST. 
          UM, OUR, OUR FORECAST ASSUMED A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF, OF, UH, GROWTH IN THE PASSENGER TRAFFIC THAN WE'RE EXPERIENCING. 
          SO THAT'S GONNA DRIVE THAT VARIANCE. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN, AND THE SAME AS YOU, YOU ASKED ABOUT RETAIL AS WELL. 
          THE SAME, AS SAME DYNAMIC AS AT PLAY IN RETAIL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IT, WITH REGARDS TO RETAIL, IT, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE ACTUAL, UH, PROGRAM THAT'S, THAT'S BEING RUN ON THE GROUND. 
          CERTAINLY NOT, NO. 
          IT, IT'S, IT IS RELATED TO, UH, PASSENGER TRAFFIC, UH, THAT, THAT IS THE, THE DRIVER OF THAT PRIMARILY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IF THERE AREN'T ANY ADDITIONAL 
          [3. Briefing on Air Service Update provided by Jamy Kazanoff, AUS Air Service Development]
QUESTIONS, WE CAN MOVE ON. 
          HELLO, CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? OKAY, I'M JAMIE KASSOFF AND, UH, GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          IN THE MARCH REPORT, UH, MARCH ITSELF, YEAR OVER YEAR IS UP 1% IN SEATS, SO 1% SEATS. 
          THAT'S A GREAT INDICATOR TO SHOW THE SEATS FOR SALE TO CUSTOMERS. 
          IT INDICATES, UH, AIRLINE INVESTMENT IN AUSTIN AND FOR US ANYWAY, SOME RECOVERY, IF YOU WILL FROM THE AMERICAN AIRLINES PULLBACK. 
          BUT FOR THE QUARTER WE'RE DOWN 3%, BUT MARCH IS UP 1% AND THE SECOND QUARTER WE'RE UP 1% WITH CAPACITY IN SEATS. 
          AND ALTHOUGH NOT PUBLISHED IN THE REPORT, THE THIRD QUARTER IS SHOWING 6% INCREASE, SO 6% MORE SEATS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER JULY THROUGH SEPTEMBER, WHICH IS GOOD. 
          WE'LL SEE IF THAT HOLDS UP. 
          AS YOU KNOW, THE AIRLINES MAKE CHANGES AS THEY GET CLOSER. 
          ALSO, UH, NOT ON THE REPORT IS DELTAS ANNOUNCING ITS FIRST INTERNATIONAL DESTINATION TO CANCUN. 
          IT IS SEASONAL. 
          IT STARTS DECEMBER 20TH AND IT'LL RUN THROUGH MID-APRIL. 
          AT THE SAME TIME THEY DID ANNOUNCE THAT FOR SALE. 
          THEY ARE PLANNING TO EXIT HARLINGEN AUSTIN ROUTE, UH, IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. 
          SO THAT'S A ROUTE THAT DID NOT WORK FOR DELTA. 
          THEY'LL BE MOVING THAT JET TO SOME OTHER, OTHER, UH, MARKETS FROM AUSTIN THAT THEY CONTINUE TO INVEST HERE IN AUSTIN AND DO WELL. 
          AND, UH, BY THE END OF THE SECOND QUARTER, THEY'LL BE AUSTIN'S SECOND CARRIER. 
          A COUPLE OTHER REMINDERS, BRITISH AIRWAYS DOUBLE DAILY, UH, STARTS MARCH 31ST, SO MAKE YOUR HOLIDAY PLANS. 
          UM, HAWAIIAN'S LAST DAY, FORTUNATELY IS MARCH 26TH. 
          WE KNOW ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, SOUTHWEST SAYS RECORD LEVEL OF DAILY DEPARTURES THIS SUMMER OR HIGHEST EVER FOR AUSTIN. 
          UM, YEAR OVER YEAR, WE'RE DOWN TO NONSTOPS, UH, BUT WE CONTINUE TO SEE ADS BY SOUTHWEST FRONTIER, DELTA AND WESTJET. 
          AND JUST IN, UM, MARCH ALONE, WE HAVE SEVEN NEW ROUTES COMING ON BOARD, AND I'LL JUST READ THOSE OUT LOUD TO HELP TOUT THEM. 
          UH, THE FIRST IS CHICAGO HARE ON FRONTIER MILWAUKEE ON SOUTHWEST ORLANDO ON FRONTIER WE KNOW ON SOUTHWEST CINCINNATI, ON FRONTIER MARCH 7TH, PHOENIX ON FRONTIER MARCH 7TH. 
          UH, THAT'S 
          [00:15:01]
THE MARCH. 
          THERE'S A LONG LIST OF, OF NEW ROUTES THAT ARE FILLING IN, SO I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF NEWS, UM, WITH AIRLINE NEAR TERM PREDICTIONS OR WHAT THEY MAY FORESEE. 
          AND, UH, WE'LL BE READY TO BE FLEXIBLE AS THEY MAKE CHANGES IF THEY MAKE ANY FOR AUSTIN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JAMIE? DO YOU, THERE WAS A 6% DECREASE IN EMPLOYMENTS IN JANUARY. 
          DO YOU ANTICIPATE A CON A GROWING TREND OF A DOWNWARD TREND ON EMPLOYMENTS GOING THROUGH Q2? WELL, WE HAD 7% LESS CAPACITY IN JANUARY. 
          LESS SEATS, FEWER SEATS FOR SALE IN JANUARY, AND THEN WE HAD THE 5.5% OR SO DECREASE IN PASTURE. 
          SO THERE'S, THERE, YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE'S ALWAYS A TIE. 
          UM, WE CAN THEN HOPE THAT FOR MARKETS WHERE WE'RE THE MONTHS WHERE WE'RE SEEING AN INCREASE IN CAPACITY, THE PASSENGERS WILL PARALLEL THAT AS WELL. 
          MARCH, WE HAVE A 1% INCREASE IN SEATS. 
          WILL THAT EQUAL TO IN EMPLOYMENTS? THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS, THEN JUST THE SEATS FOR SALE, OF COURSE, BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE THE CC SALE. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DO JUST HAVE ONE. 
          SO WITH, IT'S WITH WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE A LARGE INVESTMENT FROM SOUTHWEST, UH, INTO OUR AIRPORT, AND AT THE SAME TIME RECENTLY ANNOUNCING SORT OF THE, THE, THE NET NEW, UH, BAGGAGE FEE POLICY. 
          DO WE THINK THAT CUSTOMERS WILL BE IMPACTED WITH LOWER FARE PRICES OR DO YOU THINK THEY'LL STAY RELATIVELY THE SAME EVEN WHEN SOUTHWEST IS CHALLENGING ESTABLISHED ROUTES FROM OTHER CARRIERS? OH, I THINK THAT'S FOR ALL OF US TO LEARN TOGETHER. 
          YEP. 
          THE GOOD NEWS FOR AUSTIN IS WE HAVE SO MANY OPTIONS AND CUSTOMERS WANNA CONTINUE TO COME TO AUSTIN AND FLY BUSINESS AND LEISURE TRIPS OUT OF AUSTIN. 
          SO WHAT WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO IS THE CAPACITY AND THE OPTIONS THAT WE OFFER, AND THEY ARE THERE. 
          SO IF A PASSENGER WANTS TO MOVE FROM ONE CARRIER TO ANOTHER, AND I'M SURE THE OTHER CARRIERS WILL BE AGGRESSIVELY WORKING TO DO THAT, UM, THAT MAY HAPPEN. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE AIR SERVICE UPDATE. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          [4. Briefing on Journey with AUS (AUS AEDP/Capital Improvement Program) Active Projects provided by Lyn Estabrook, Deputy Chief Development Officer ]
GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS. 
          LYNN BROOK, AIRPORT, DEPUTY CHIEF OF DEVELOPMENT. 
          I'M GONNA GIVE A HIGH LEVEL, UM, OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE PROJECTS WITHIN THE JOURNEY WITH A US PROGRAM. 
          EXCUSE ME, ALL AMENDS RECORD. 
          I'M SORRY, I SAID THE SAME THING. 
          UH, SO JOURNEY WITH A US. 
          WE GOT YOU. 
          YEAH, . 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU DON'T JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT ME, YOU CAN SAY, HEY, YOU SCREWED UP. 
          SO IT'S OKAY. 
          , UH, IF WE WANNA GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE, UH, NEXT. 
          OKAY, HERE'S THE MAP, UM, THAT HAVE BEEN ASKED FOR. 
          AND WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE ALL THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AND THE PHASE THAT THEY'RE IN. 
          UM, THIS MAP IS IN THE ORIENTATION AS IF YOU WERE DRIVING INTO THE AIRPORT TO TRY TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE USED TO DRIVING INTO THE AIRPORT SO THEY CAN, UM, THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY. 
          SO, UM, ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MAP, UM, IN THE WHITE BOX IS THE FIRST, UM, PROJECT, WHICH IS THE NEW YELLOW PARKING GARAGE. 
          AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, AND THEN AS YOU GO UP TOWARDS THE TOP OF THAT IMAGE, AS IF YOU WERE DRIVING AROUND THE BUILDING, YOU'VE GOT THE NEW ARRIVALS, DEPARTURE HALL, AND THE ROADWAY. 
          UM, AND THAT PROJECT IS NOW IN DESIGN. 
          WE HAVE SIGNED THE CONTRACT WITH SOM, SO THAT'S GREAT. 
          UM, AND THEN WE'VE GOT SOME ONGOING PROJECTS THAT ARE ALL IN PURPLE, INCLUDING THE WEST GATE PROJECT, THE WEST INFILL, AND SHORTLY THE, UM, ATRIUM INFILL, AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT GROUNDBREAKING, UM, IT FOR SOMETIME IN APRIL. 
          AND THEN AS YOU GO MORE TOWARDS THE TOP OF THAT IMAGE, YOU'VE GOT THE TUNNEL CONNECTION. 
          WE SHOW IT AT GRADE, BUT IT'S AN ACTUAL TUNNEL CONNECTION, BUT WE JUST WANTED TO REPRESENT IT THERE ON THE MAP. 
          AND THEN THE NEW CONCOURSE, AND THAT IS ALSO NOW IN DESIGN. 
          AND THEN AS YOU CONTINUE TO MOVE UP TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE IMAGE, YOU'VE GOT A TEMPORARY HOLD ROOM FACILITY AND AN EXPANSION OF WHAT WE CALL, UM, A MAINTENANCE RAMP THAT IS A LARGE CONCRETE PARKING AREA FOR PLANES SO THAT, UM, DURING THE DISRUPTION 
          [00:20:01]
OF CONSTRUCTION, WE HAVE MORE SPACE FOR THOSE PLANES TO GO. 
          AND THEN AT THE VERY TOP OF THE IMAGE, YOU HAVE OUR MIDFIELD CROSS TAXIWAYS, AND THOSE HAVE BEEN AN UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND STILL ARE, UM, ACTIVELY WORKING ON THAT. 
          AND THEN AS YOU SWOOP AROUND AND, AND COME BACK DOWN ON THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE IMAGE, YOU'VE GOT TWO MORE WHITE, UH, AREAS, AND ONE OF THEM IS A APRON RAMP EXPANSION, MORE CONCRETE PARKING SPACES. 
          AND THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE VERY LAST THINGS THAT GETS DONE IN THE PROGRAM. 
          AND THEN AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE IMAGE IS THE NEW, UM, CENTRAL UTILITY, UM, FACILITY. 
          SO THOSE ARE ALL THE PROJECTS THAT THE PROGRAM IS WORKING ON, AND SO HOPEFULLY THAT CAN HELP ORIENT EVERYONE WHERE EVERYTHING IS. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, NEXT PAGE. 
          SO HERE'S A GREAT, UM, SOME GREAT NEW IMAGES OF THE WEST INFILL. 
          THE, UM, EXTERIOR WATERPROOFING THAT'S ALL THAT YELLOW THAT YOU SEE IS NEARLY COMPLETE. 
          THEY'VE ACTUALLY, UM, THIS WEEK HAVE STARTED THE GLASS AND THAT FIRST AND SECOND SQUARE NOW IN JUST A WEEK HAVE, UM, HAVE GLASS IN THEM. 
          SO THEY'RE MOVING ALONG VERY QUICKLY, UM, WHICH IS VERY EXCITING. 
          AND THEN THE LOWER PICTURE THERE IS THE INSIDE, UM, BAGGAGE. 
          YOU SEE THOSE BLUE LINES, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE BAGGAGE LINES, THE BAGGAGE SYSTEM LINES THAT THEY'RE INSTALLING AND THEY'RE CONTINUING, UM, TO WORK ON WATERPROOFING AND INSTALLING ALL OF THOSE WALLS. 
          NEXT, THIS IS THE WEST GATE EXPANSION. 
          UM, WHAT'S REALLY EXCITING THAT'S HAPPENED IS THAT THEY'VE STARTED THE EXTERIOR FRAMING FOR THE ACTUAL CLADDING THAT'S GOING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. 
          THEY'VE STARTED THE ROOF DECKING ON BOTH THE HIGH ROOF AND THE LOW ROOF. 
          SO THERE ARE TWO SIM SIMILAR ROOFS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CONCOURSE WHERE THERE'S A REALLY TALL HIGH SPACE AND THEN A SLIGHTLY LOWER SPACE. 
          SO THOSE, UM, ARE ONGOING. 
          AND IF YOU'RE, UM, OUT THERE, UM, ANYTIME FOR SPRING BREAK, IF YOU GET TO FLY, YOU WILL NOTICE THE ROOF TRUSSES ARE ALL UP AND THEY'VE STARTED THE ACTUAL ROOFING THEMSELVES. 
          SO THAT'S EXCITING. 
          AND IF WE GO, WE'RE GONNA SKIP THAT ON TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          I'VE GOT SOME GREAT NEW IMAGES. 
          UM, WE HAD THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY, UM, FOR THE YELLOW, THE NEW YELLOW GARAGE. 
          AND HERE'S A GREAT NEW IMAGE OF THAT YELLOW GARAGE. 
          THIS IS AN IMAGE AS IF YOU WERE DRIVING ALONG PRESIDENTIAL, UM, YOU WOULD SEE IT TO YOUR LEFT, THE, THE BACKSIDE OF IT WHERE ALL THOSE SORT OF LARGER OVALS ARE THAT FACES THE REST OF THE SERVICE PARKING LOTS. 
          AND THE OTHER SIDE OF IT IS THE ACTUAL SIDE THAT'S ALONG THE DRIVE, UM, OF PRESIDENTIAL. 
          UM, GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          SO HERE'S SOME MORE IMAGES OF IT AND THE SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS, YOU KNOW, A GOOGLE IMAGE, UM, THAT SHOWS WHERE THE YELLOW GARAGE IS, THE CURRENT BLUE GARAGE AND THE RED GARAGE THAT WILL BE COMING DOWN IN THE FUTURE. 
          AND THEN THE IMAGES ON THE LEFT, UM, ARE IMAGES AS IF YOU WERE WALKING FROM THE SURFACE PARKING LOTS, THAT LOWER IMAGES WHERE YOU WOULD WALK. 
          AND THEN THE TOP IMAGE IS IF YOU ARE IN THE PARKING GARAGE AND YOU WANNA CONNECT TO THE BLUE GARAGE AND WALK DIRECTLY THROUGH THE BLUE GARAGE INTO, WHICH WILL BE THE NEW ARRIVALS DEPARTURE HALL, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT THROUGH THAT WALKWAY THERE THAT CONNECTS THOSE TWO GARAGES. 
          AND THAT'S JUST FOR PASSENGERS, NOT VEHICLES. 
          NEXT, UM, THIS IS THE ATRIUM AND FILL, AGAIN, THESE ARE BOTH RENDERINGS AND THIS IS THE PROJECT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO SCHEDULE A GROUNDBREAKING FOR SOMETIME, HOPEFULLY IN APRIL.

          SO THAT I WOULD LOVE, UM, SOME BEFORE I LEAVE THIS BOARD, YOU KNOW, SOME INTEREST AND, AND, UM, ACTION MAYBE IN THE FORM OF A RECOMMENDATION OR A, A PAPER TO SAY THAT ONE BUS IN ONE DIRECTION IS MAYBE NOT GONNA MOVE US FORWARD IN THE WAY THAT, UM, PEOPLE WOULD EXPECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER HENDRICKS? UM, I, I HAVE A QUESTION AND A STATEMENT. 
          UM, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, UM, THERE HAS BEEN A DISCUSSION ABOUT, UM, PUMPING THE, UM, GAS LINES FROM BASTROP. 
          UH, WE GET OUR GAS FROM BASTROP AND THEY, AND THEN THEY BRING IT IN. 
          AND I'M CURIOUS, UM, DO WE HAVE ANY FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE? BECAUSE I, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, I BELIEVE THAT THEY'VE GONE TO DIFFERENT TOWN HALLS AND GIVEN A PRESENTATION ON IT, AND I'M CURIOUS IF THAT'S HAPPENED HERE. 
          YES, COMMISSIONER, UH, THEY'VE ACTUALLY, THE FLINT HILLS RESOURCES IS THE, UH, PARTY THAT'S DOING THAT LINE. 
          UH, THEY'RE EXTENDING THE JET A FUEL PIPELINE FROM THEIR TERMINAL AND BASTROP TO OUR FUEL TANK FACILITY AT THE AIRPORT. 
          THEY'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF THIS BODY, I THINK TWICE. 
          UM, MOST RECENTLY WAS IN DECEMBER WHERE THEY GAVE A PRETTY, UH, CONCISE OVERVIEW OF THEIR PLANS AT THIS POINT. 
          UM, RIGHT NOW THE DEPARTMENT IS WORKING WITH THEM ON A POSSIBLE LICENSE AGREEMENT, AND WHEN THAT'S READY TO GO TO COUNSEL, IT WILL COME TO THIS GROUP FIRST, AND THAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE NEXT TIME THAT THEY COME TO THE COMMISSION. 
          WE DON'T HAVE A DATE FOR THAT YET, BUT THAT'S, WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING TOWARD THAT. 
          WHAT IS THE NORMAL, UM, TIMELINE ON, UM, HOW LONG DOES THAT TAKE? WELL, FOR AN AGREEMENT LIKE THAT, IT CAN TAKE SOME TIME. 
          UH, BUT IN TERMS OF THE CADENCE BETWEEN GOING TO THE COMMISSION TO COUNCIL, WE TRY TO GET IT, UH, WE TRY TO MAKE A STOP HERE FOR AT LEAST RECOMMENDATION, UH, ONE CYCLE, ONE MEETING CYCLE BEFORE THE COUNCIL TAKES IT UP. 
          IF WE CAN GET INTO, WE PREFER TO DO THAT, AND I CAN GET YOU THE LINK IF IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO, UH, THEIR LAST PRESENTATION WITH THE SLIDES. 
          I HAVE THAT PRESENTATION. 
          DO. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          UM, UH, MY, UH, COUNCILMAN IS VERY INTERESTED IN THIS MM-HMM 
          [00:50:01]
. 
          AND SO, UM, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING, SO THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, NO, WE APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER, ANY ADDITIONAL PROPOSALS? I, I GUESS I'LL MAKE ONE LAST COMMENT BEFORE WE, UH, TAKE A VOTE OR A, A MOTION TO ADJOURN. 
          UH, I, I WOULD FINELY RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO LET THEIR COUNCIL MEMBERS KNOW ABOUT THE RUNWAY TO OPPORTUNITY APRIL 22ND. 
          I'M SURE FOR MANY OF THEM, THEIR, UH, SOME OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS WOULD, UH, BE EAGER AND EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE PRIMES. 
          AND WITH THAT, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER HENDRICKS AND A SECOND. 
          COMMISSIONER EZ. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, OUR MEETING'S ADJOURNED AND THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING OF 
          [NEXT REGULAR MEETING]
THIS BODY IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9TH OF THIS YEAR. 
          THANK YOU ALL.
