[00:00:01]
AHEAD AND START.UH, SO WE'LL CALL TO ORDER AT SIX OH ONE.
COMMISSIONER MARGAN IS ABSENT.
COMMISSIONER PERRY IS ALSO ABSENT.
UH, COUNCIL MEMBER DI CARLY HERE.
UM, AND WE HAVE GINA INSTEAD OF DAN FOR STAFF, PLEASE.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANY GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT? ALL RIGHT.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PRESENTATIONS TONIGHT EITHER, CORRECT? I DO NOT.
[APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
UH, SO WITH THAT, DO WE HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS OR UPDATES TO THE MINUTES PRIOR TO THEIR APPROVAL MOVE? WE APPROVE THE MINUTES.MINUTES ARE APPROVED WITH GRATITUDE TO CLAUDIA.
I BELIEVE YOU'RE STILL DOING THAT FOR US.
UM, AND, UH, NO OFFICIAL PUBLIC HEARINGS OR MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT, IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY?
[COMMITTEE COMMENT]
CORRECT.UH, DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, COUNCIL UPDATES? ALEX? NO COUNCIL UPDATES THIS EVENING.
WE ARE JUST CRANKING THROUGH, BUT I WILL SAY THOUGH, IN, IN A COUPLE WEEKS, WE DO HAVE GOALS AND PRIORITIES FOR THE COUNCIL COMING UP.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING THE AIRPORT WANTS SAID OR, OR BROUGHT UP OR ANYTHING, BUT I GUESS WE, WE COULD THINK ABOUT THAT TONIGHT IF YOU WANT TO.
UM, I THINK I MIGHT NEED SOME EITHER TIME WITH THAT OR HELP WITH CONSIDERING WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD, LIKE, WHAT WOULD FIT INTO THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NORMAL WOULD THAT BE, WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE, UH, TIME TO DISCUSS THE, UH, AIRPORT MANAGER'S AUTHORITY TO APPROVE PURCHASES, PURCHASE AMOUNTS.
'CAUSE THAT WAS AN ISSUE THAT YOU WERE, UM, PROBABLY NOT THAT, THAT'S A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND, UM, OR NOT, EXCUSE ME, NOT GENERAL PLAN, UH, CHARTER AMENDMENT.
UM, WHICH, WHICH IS A BIGGER, BROADER THING THAT HAS TO GO TO A VOTE AND IT'S SO DOING THAT CHARTER AMENDMENT, BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE A, WOULDN'T MAKE, THAT WOULDN'T BE THAT TYPE OF LIST.
UM, THE CHARTER ON THE WHOLE WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING ON GOALS AND PRIORITIES THAT FITS IN AND I THINK WITH THE LEGAL TEAM AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND I JUST WANT TO CAUTION EVERYONE THAT WE NOT BREAK OUT INTO A FULL DISCUSSION FOR BROWN ACT COMPLIANCE REASONS, BUT, UM, I WOULD SUGGEST, I THINK IT'S A GREAT POINT THAT, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER DI CARLY BRINGS UP AND, UH, ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS THAT WANT TO SHARE, UM, SOME, SOME WISHLIST ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED IN GOALS AND PRIORITIES CAN REACH OUT, UM, DIRECTLY TO, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER OR TO CITY CLERK.
UM, BUT CERTAINLY TO YOUR LIAISON.
AND, UM, UH, FEEL FREE TO COPY ME, BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO.
AND, UM, BUT YEAH, I WOULD TAKE IT, TAKE IT OFFLINE ONE ON ONE, BUT YEAH, IT'S A, IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
AND, AND IF, UH, I THINK THE DIRECTION YOU PROVIDED IS ACCURATE, IF, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, UM, THINGS THAT WOULD NECESSITATE CHANGES TO, UM, TO THE CHARTER, UM, THEN THAT'S, UH, THAT IS A PRIORITY AND IT'S ON THE LIST SOMEWHERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT LANDED LAST YEAR IN, IN THE PRIORITIES, BUT THAT'S DEFINITELY, UM, SOMETHING THAT CAN BE TOUCHED ON.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED THAT MAYBE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS THE CHARTER WILL GET UPDATED.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANY AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES? HANGAR DEVELOPMENT? NOTHING.
UM, AND HANGAR MAINTENANCE TONIGHT? I DON'T THINK SO.
UNLESS
I GUESS I JUST DO HAVE A QUESTION.
I DON'T, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF, UH, ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THE UPDATE IS WITH HANGAR 18.
I KNOW THE, THE DOOR SEEMS TO COME OFF AND THEN IT GOES BACK ON AGAIN.
AND, UH, WEIGHT LIFT, WEIGHT LIST POLICY, I CAN TALK.
UH, SO NO UPDATE AT THE MOMENT.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT COMBINING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THE NEW AIRPORT MANAGER, YOU KNOW, AT THAT POINT TO JUST GO OVER SOME POTENTIAL CHANGES WE COULD MAKE TO JUST STREAMLINE THAT PROCESS AND MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE TRANSPARENT.
ANY, UM, EXCUSE ME, ANY COMMISSIONER COMMENT AT THIS TIME? ONLY ONE THING, AND IT RELATES TO THE, UH, WAIT LIST, UH, HANGAR DEVELOPMENT.
I WAS JUST SEARCHING, UH, FOR, UM,
[00:05:01]
A POSSIBLE TRIP OVER INTO MINDEN, NEVADA.LOOKED AT THE AIRPORT, THEY'VE GOT 85 HANGERS AND 110 PEOPLE ON THE WAITING LIST.
WITH A HUNDRED DOLLARS DEPOSIT EACH.
THEY HAVE SOME PRIVATELY OWNED HANGERS, WHICH ARE SIGNIFICANTLY BIGGER THAN THE TEES LIKE WE HAVE.
UM, FOR UNKNOWN RENT, YOU GOTTA CONTACT THE OWNER
BUT IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE, UH, ON A WAITING LIST FOR, YOU KNOW, HALF AS MANY HANGERS AS WE HAVE.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IT, IT BEHOOVES US TO, TO LOOK AROUND AND I, I DIDN'T GET INTO THE DETAILS OF WHAT THE WAITING LIST POLICY WAS OTHER THAN THE A HUNDRED DOLLARS DEPOSIT, WHICH AGAIN, LIKE OURS GOES TOWARDS, UH, YOU KNOW, DAMAGE, FIRST MONTH'S RENT, THAT KIND OF THING.
UM, BUT ANYWAY, SO IT'S, IT'S WORTH DOING THAT KIND OF SNOOPING, I THINK, TO GATHER THAT DATA AND, UH, SEE HOW WE, UH, STACK UP.
[STAFF COMMENT]
ALL RIGHT.WELL THEN I THINK, GINA, YOU'RE UP.
UM, I'M JUST GOING TO, I DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.
I DO HAVE A FROG IN MY THROAT.
UM, I WAS JUST, I'M INTENTION IS TO GO THROUGH THE STAFF REPORT ITEMS AND I'M JUST GONNA, SO IF YOU WANNA FOLLOW ALONG ON THAT, GONNA GO THROUGH THOSE ITEMS, I CAN PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE DETAIL, OF COURSE, THAN WHAT'S, WHAT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, THAN THE NOTES THAT ARE ON HERE.
AND, UM, AND THAT WILL CONCLUDE MY REPORT, AND OF COURSE, ALWAYS HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS.
UM, SO, UH, FINANCIAL, UM, I, UH, I DID NOT ATTACH FINANCIAL REPORTS THIS MONTH.
I'M WORKING WITH OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO, UM, TO, UM, GENERATE A MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD, UH, HIGHER LEVEL FINANCIAL REPORT FROM, UH, COMPARED TO THE VERY DETAILED, UM, EXPENSE AND, UM, UH, AND REVENUE REPORT THAT I THINK YOU'RE USED TO SEEING.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMMISSION THAT REALLY SEES THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL.
AND, UH, IT, AND IT BECOMES A PUBLIC DOCUMENT ONCE IT'S ATTACHED, YOU KNOW, TO, TO, UM, TO THESE MEETING MINUTES.
AND WHILE WE'RE TRANSPARENT, THE, YOU KNOW, THOSE DOCUMENTS GENERALLY ARE, ARE STAFF FOR STAFF REVIEW.
SO I'M JUST GONNA BE ROLLING UP SOME OF THE SUBDIVISIONS WITHIN THE REPORT TO A BRIEFER REPORT, SAME NUMBERS.
AND WILL THOSE DETAILS BE AVAILABLE FOR COMMISSIONERS THAT WISH TO SEE THEM? SURE, ABSOLUTELY.
UM, AND I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, UH, IN PAST, AND I DON'T THINK THEY WERE, I DON'T THINK, UH, THE, UH, JAN COHEN OFFERED THESE AT THE LAST MEETING, WHICH WAS FEBRUARY WAS OUR ONLY 2026 MEETING, BUT IN PAST, IN 2025, I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE CARGO REPORTS AND, AND, UM, AND IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S STILL OF INTEREST? BECAUSE THOSE TAKE, THOSE TAKE, THEY'RE NOT AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED.
UM, AND SO THEY NEED TO BE, UM, YOU KNOW, DATA NEEDS TO BE MANUALLY GATHERED AND SUMMARIZED, ET CETERA, WHEN WE DO THOSE.
SO IF YOU'RE NOT WAITING FOR BATED BREATH, UM, WITH BATED BREATH FOR THOSE, I MIGHT SUGGEST WE DO THEM EVERY OTHER MEETING OR QUARTERLY, OR, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT REALLY IS IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT MONTHLY? THOSE ARE IMPORTANT STATISTICS TO HAVE FOR AIRPORT USAGE, WHICH IMPACTS FAA FUNDING AND OTHER STREAMS OF REVENUES.
SO I BELIEVE KEEPING ON TOP OF THAT IS ACTUALLY QUITE IMPORTANT.
WELL, WE DO INTERNALLY, I MEAN, WE'RE, WE'RE HANDLING ALL THE FAA GRANTS AND APPLICATIONS AND NO, BUT TRACKING THE DATA AND HAVING THE DATA READY TO PRESENT IT EACH EACH MONTH IS PART OF THAT PROCESS.
SO YES, I THINK WE WOULD REQUEST THAT THAT CONTINUE.
SO, UH, I WILL ENDEAVOR TO HAVE THOSE PREPARED, UH, NEXT MEETING AS WELL.
AND JEAN, I UNDERSTAND IF, YOU KNOW, IF IN THIS TRANSITIONAL PERIOD WE NEED TO GIVE A GRACE FOR A MONTH OR TWO, I, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT SURE.
I WANNA MAKE VERY, BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THE PRECEDENTS THAT WE'RE SETTING FOR THE NEW STAFF MEMBER.
UH, UNDER OPERATIONS, UH, AIRPORT MANAGER RECRUITMENT UPDATE.
SO WE'VE, UH, WE'VE HAD THE RECRUITMENT OPEN NOW FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS.
IT'S GOING TO CLOSE SUNDAY, MARCH 15TH.
UM, TO DATE, UH, I DON'T HAVE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS RECEIVED BY THE CITY, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE 19 APPLICATIONS THAT
[00:10:01]
HAVE, UM, PASSED THE FIRST MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS REVIEW AND HAVE MADE IT, UH, TO, UM, UH, LEADERSHIP FOR REVIEW.SO, SO THEY'RE COMING IN AND THAT'S GREAT.
AND, UM, THERE'S SOME, SOME VERY INTERESTING, UM, SOME VERY INTERESTING RESUMES AND, UM, UH, INDIVIDUALS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE EXCITED TO LOOK AT WITH YOU.
SO, UM, THE, AGAIN, THAT RECRUITMENT CLOSES THE 15TH, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE, UH, ABOUT A, LET'S SEE, ABOUT JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS.
AND THEN THE FIRST INTERVIEW, THAT INTERVIEW PANEL THAT WE'LL, THAT WE'D LIKE, UM, YOUR, UH, COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE ON IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 2ND.
AND THAT COULD BE A FULL DAY OF INTERVIEWS.
WE DON'T KNOW YET HOW MANY WE'LL BE INTERVIEWING.
IT COULD BE, I'M GUESSING, ANYWHERE FROM FOUR TO MAYBE SIX INDIVIDUALS.
UM, AND THOSE ARE, YOU KNOW, EACH GONNA BE ONE HOUR, VERY LIKELY, ONE HOUR INTERVIEWS WITH MAYBE A 15 MINUTE BREAK IN BETWEEN.
AND THEY WILL BE HELD AT, THEY'LL BE HELD HERE AT CITY HALL IN ONE OF OUR CONFERENCE ROOMS. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD THAT DATE.
LAST TIME I HAD SOMETHING ON IT, I MOVED IT, I CLEARED MY SCHEDULE, AND I'LL BE READY TO GO.
'CAUSE IT COULD BE AN ALL DAY HIT NO PROBLEM.
WILL THAT BE THE ONLY DATE? SO YOU'RE GONNA NARROW DOWN BEFORE THE FIFTH? I HOPE SO.
IT IS OUR INTENT TO TRY AND, AND MANAGE ALL THE INTERVIEWS IN ONE DAY.
UM, UH, IF THAT CHANGES FOR ANY REASON AND WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN'T, THAT WE NEED A SECOND DAY, UM, THEN WE'LL, WE'LL REACH OUT TO YOU AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND WHAT MAKES SENSE.
BUT, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP IT TO ONE DAY.
IT WILL EAT UP THE DAY, BUT IT WILL BE A DAY BE A PRODUCTIVE ONE.
ANY, UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON, ON THAT RECRUITMENT? OH, UH, SORRY.
I HAD ONE OTHER THING TO ADD, AND THAT IS THAT NOW IS THE TIME TO BE, UM, COMMUNICATING, UM, WITH COMMISSIONERS AND RECEIVING.
UM, UH, I KNOW YOU HAVE, UH, TOM'S UM, LIST OF SUGGESTED QUESTIONS, BUT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS AND, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, INPUT TO, UM, TO JEFF, UM, NOW'S THE TIME TO BE GATHERING THAT, JUST TO STAY AHEAD OF THAT.
AND, AND AT SOME POINT, UH, VERY SHORTLY AFTER THEY CLOSED THE RECRUITMENT, SO CLOSES THE 15TH, THE WEEK OF MONDAY, THE 16TH OF MARCH, I'M GUESSING I'M GOING TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM OUR HR DEPARTMENT ASKING US FOR, YOU KNOW, UH, FOR OUR SUGGESTED QUESTIONS.
SO WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE THAT WEEK TO PULL THAT TOGETHER.
SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW IN ADVANCE, THAT WAS GONNA BE MY QUESTION ABOUT PROCEDURES, IS HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO YOU NEED THE QUESTIONS? AND IS THERE ANY, I WOULD THINK BY THE END OF THAT WEEK OF THE 16TH, THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME, AND MAYBE EVEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TWEAK, UM, WITHIN A WEEK OF THAT, UM, THAT INTERVIEW.
AND IS, AND IS THERE ANY, AND I I, FORGIVE ME, UM, IF YOU'VE ALREADY EXPLAINED THIS, BUT IS THERE ANY PHONE SCREENING THAT HAPPENS BETWEEN WHEN THAT THAT CLOSES AND WHEN WE HAVE THE FULL DAY OF IN-PERSON QUESTIONS? NOT USUALLY.
SO THE QUESTIONS ARE FOR THAT APRIL 2ND.
JUST WANNA BE CLEAR ON WHAT OUR TIMING AND EXPECTATIONS ARE.
UH, ANYTHING ELSE ON RECRUITMENT? UM, THE QT POD, UM, REPAIRS? SO I MENTIONED EARLIER BE I THINK BEFORE THE MEETING TO A COUPLE OF YOU THAT, UM, THE KEYPAD, OR NO, IT WAS DURING THE MEETING AND YOU ASKED ABOUT IT, JEFF.
UH, WE DID REPLACE A KEYPAD, UM, AND A NEW COVER HAS GONE OVER IT, AND WE'VE SALVAGED THE OLD, UH, KEYPAD TO HOLD FOR A SPARE.
UM, BE BECAUSE IT APPEARED TO BE WORKING AGAIN, IS WHAT I HEARD.
I DIDN'T SEE IT MYSELF, BUT THAT WAS WHAT I HEARD FROM ETHAN AND JOEL.
UM, AND, UM, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW DEPENDABLE THAT IS.
AND, AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN.
GOOD TO HAVE, IF, IF THIS ONE FAILS, CAN'T HURT.
UM, AND THEN FIRE INSPECTIONS.
I WANTED TO GIVE YOU ALL A QUICK UPDATE ON THAT.
UM, THE FIRST ROUND OF INSPECTIONS IS SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 12TH, WHICH IS NEXT SOMETHING, BUT IT, UM, THURSDAY.
UM, AND THAT'S, UH, FROM SCHEDULED FROM 10:00 AM TO 2:00 PM UH, WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL AND
[00:15:01]
PROBABLY ASSISTANT FIRE MARSHAL.AND, UM, THESE ARE FOUR, UM, CITY HANGARS ROSE ONE THROUGH THREE.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA SEE HOW THAT GOES AND TRY AND GET, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF, A LITTLE BIT OF A QUESTION MARK.
WE HAVE A NEW FIRE MARSHAL, WE HAVE A NEW ASSISTANT FIRE MARSHAL.
THEY HAVEN'T INSPECTED OR SEEN THESE HANGERS BEFORE.
THEY'RE NOT QUITE SURE HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE IN EACH ONE AND HOW MUCH TIME TO ALLOW.
UM, WE, YOU KNOW, FROM PRECEDENT, WE THINK THAT THAT, THAT A HALF, ROUGHLY A HALF A DAY IS ENOUGH TO DO THAT QUANTITY OF HANGERS.
WE MAY ADJUST IT DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY ASK FOR.
UM, BUT, AND WE'RE PRETTY MUCH LETTING THE FIRE MARSHAL DRIVE THIS EFFORT AND THE SCHEDULE AND DOING OUR BEST TO ACCOMMODATE.
WE SENT A NOTICE OUT TO THOSE, UM, TO THOSE HANGAR TENANTS, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE WOULD BE DOING THIS AND LETTING THEM KNOW ALSO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE PRESENT.
UM, BUT IF THEY'D LIKE TO BE, THAT'S GREAT.
AND, UM, AND THAT, AND WE HAVE ACCESS AND, UH, UH, OUR AIRPORT ATTENDANT, JOEL, WILL BE, UM, ESCORTING INTO EACH HANGAR.
UH, IF AS NEEDED, IF, IF THE, IF THE TENANT'S NOT THERE, WE CAN ENTER AND, AND HELP THE FIRE INSPECTORS GET ACCESS TO WHAT THEY NEED TO SEE.
A QUESTION ABOUT, UH, POTENTIAL REMEDIATION ACTIONS WITH THAT, IF THEY FIND AN ISSUE, WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR HANDLING THAT? WELL, UM, ON A REAL BASIC LEVEL, WE SHOULD RECEIVE A, UM, WE SHOULD RE RECEIVE A DEFICIENCY REPORT OF SOME SORT FROM THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.
IT'LL, IT WILL LIKELY COME TO MY ATTENTION.
AND, UM, AND THEN I WILL, UH, BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA BE ATTENDING EACH OF THESE, JOEL WILL BE THERE AND HE, HE WILL HAVE EYES ON AS WELL.
BUT I MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AND, UM, UH, AND I'M GONNA TRY AND PRIORITIZE THE HIGHEST SAFETY ISSUES FIRST, UM, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THOSE, UM, TAKEN CARE OF AND CORRECTED, UM, FIRST AND THEN GO THROUGH THE LIST, UM, IN COORDINATION WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL.
IF, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA TAKE ME A LITTLE LONGER, UM, THEN I'LL BE, YOU KNOW, TALKING TO THE FIRE MARSHAL AND SAYING, YOU KNOW, BOY, I'M GONNA NEED THIS AMOUNT OF TIME BECAUSE I MAY NEED TO SCHEDULE A CONTRACTOR, OR I MAY NEED TO PURCHASE PARTS, ET CETERA, OR EQUIPMENT MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.
BUT HOPEFULLY IT WON'T BE A LONG LIST.
AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND SIMPLE.
I THINK A LOT OF THE THINGS THEY LOOK AT, UM, WILL BE, UM, WILL BE ACCESS, RIGHT.
EGRESS ACCESS, UM, YOU KNOW, DOORS THAT AREN'T BLOCKED.
UM, THINGS NOT HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS.
UM, SOME OF THE, YEAH, I KNOW SOME OF THE, AND, AND, WELL, A LOT OF THAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A TENANT INVOLVED, LIKE THE TENANTS SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN SOME OF THOSE POTENTIAL SITUATIONS, RIGHT.
SO THERE'S A PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE CONNECTED TO THAT FOR, YOU KNOW, CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THEY'RE STORING THEIR PROPERTY AND THAT KIND OF THING.
AND WE HAD TALKED, UM, SPEAKING OF FIRE, UH, FIRE CONSIDERATIONS, UH, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER, UH, REFRESH AND INSPECTION, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD APPROPRIATE AND, UM, YOU KNOW, CHARGED, IT'S NOT THE RIGHT WORD, UNEXPIRED, FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, RIGHT.
UH, IN, IN ALL THE LOCATIONS THAT THEY'RE NEEDED.
UM, THERE WAS A POTENTIAL, IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, OF CONNECTING THAT QUESTION TO THE INSPECTIONS.
IS THAT STILL, IS THAT HAPPENING? IS THAT, HAS THAT BEEN PART OF THE CONVERSATION? IT WILL BE NOW
I BELIEVE THAT WE REFRESHED EVERYTHING.
WE, WE DID IT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.
I JUST, THERE WAS SOME CONVERSATION AROUND LIKE HOW RECENTLY WE'D DONE THAT AND HAD WE FINISH THAT PROCESS AND I JUST COULDN'T REMEMBER THE STATUS OF IT.
SO WE HAD BEEN CHECKING ON THAT AND IT JUST WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO PUT A BOW ON IT.
WELL, I'M SURE THAT IF THEY FIND ONE THAT'S EXPIRED, I'M GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT
UM, AND, UH, AND IF THERE'S, IF WE'RE SEEING, AND, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE, UM, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE IS FOR THOSE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S ANNUAL OR BIANNUAL OR, I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE.
PARDON? I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE.
SO, UH, I'LL, I'LL LEARN THAT AGAIN FROM FIRE MARSHAL AND, AND WE'LL PROCEED ACCORDINGLY.
YOU, YOU MENTIONED, UH, NOT WORKING.
YOU MENTIONED ROSE ONE THROUGH THREE.
HOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE HANGERS? DO THEY HAVE A SCHEDULE WHERE THE WE, NO, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SEE WHAT THE PROCESS WOULD TAKE IN TERMS OF TIME.
AND, UM, AND THEN ONCE WE HAVE A SENSE OF THAT, I THINK THE FIRE MARSHAL WILL BE ABLE TO COMMIT TO, YOU KNOW, TO A FEW DOWN THE ROAD AND WE'LL GET A FEW MORE DAYS SCHEDULED.
BUT, SO THIS IS SORT OF OUR, OUR, OUR PILOT, EXCUSE THE PUN, OUR PILOT VERSION TO, TO SEE IF IT'S ENOUGH TIME TO DO THAT AMOUNT OF HANGERS.
[00:20:01]
WE'LL ADJUST AND THEN WE'LL SCHEDULE SOME MORE OUT.IS THIS A NEW PROCESS SHOULD BE DONE ANNUALLY? IT HASN'T BEEN REALLY, 'CAUSE AS A TENANT, I'VE, I'VE BEEN THERE, WHAT A TENANT FOR SIX YEARS NOW.
I'VE NEVER HAD A NOTICE OF AN INSPECTION.
HEY, NANCY, CAN YOU CHANGE MICS WITH THE ONE NEXT TO YOU SO WE CAN HEAR YOU BETTER? THANK YOU.
JUST WONDERING, UM, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S NEW, RELATIVELY NEW, AND I UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE HAD BEEN ONE, MAYBE TWO YEARS TO THREE YEARS BACK, AND IT'S BEEN ON THE FIRE MARSHALS, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, PRIORITY LIST MM-HMM
AND THEY WERE WITHOUT AN ASSISTANT FOR ASSISTANT FIRE MARSHAL FOR SOME TIME.
SO THEY'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH A, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF UNDER-RESOURCED OKAY.
AND NOW THEY'RE COMPLETELY FILLED OUT AND READY TO TACKLE THIS, WHICH IS GREAT.
I THINK THE EFFORT'S LARGELY GONNA BE LED BY THE ASSISTANT FIRE MARSHAL.
UM, AND SO, UH, HOPEFULLY WE, YOU KNOW, MY INTENTION IS THAT WE CAN EXPECT THIS ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS AND IT REALLY, YOU KNOW, THAT FREQUENCY IS, IS DETERMINED BY THE FIRE MARSHAL.
I THINK THERE WAS ONE, UH, PART OF ONE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, UM, I WENT OUT TO THE AIRPORT AND MY HANGAR WAS UNLOCKED, AND I WENT, WAIT A MINUTE.
AND I ASKED ANOTHER PERSON IN THE ROW AND HE SAYS, OH YEAH, THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OUT HERE, THEY'RE DOING INSPECTIONS OR WHATEVER.
AND THAT WAS JUST LIKE LAST MONTH.
SO, WELL, WE WERE OUT LOOKING AT 18, WE WERE LOOKING AT THE COMMERCIAL HANGERS IN 18.
WELL, I THOUGHT SOME OF THE, SO IN YOUR HANGAR ROW, TOM, I THINK, 'CAUSE THE FIRE SPRINKLERS SHOULD BE TESTED, DRAINED ANNUALLY.
SO I THINK THEY, I THINK AT THAT POINT THEY WERE WORKING ON THE FIRE SPRINKLER CERTIFICATION.
AND THOSE, AND IN YOUR GUYS' ROW OVER THERE MM-HMM
AND THEN WHERE I'M AT, YOU KNOW, IN, IN THE OLDER ROWS, ONE THROUGH NINE, I WANNA SAY THERE WAS AN INSPECTION DONE MAYBE TWO TO THREE YEARS AGO, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
AND, UH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY A LOT OF THE MAJOR ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED MM-HMM
SO I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THIS TIME AROUND, UM, IT SHOULD BE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
AND JEAN, I DID HAVE ONE OTHER OPERATIONAL ISSUE IF, IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO IT.
UM, WE HAD THE QUESTION COME UP LAST MONTH ABOUT THE PROCEDURE AND THE, THE APPROPRIATE ALTITUDES SURROUNDING THE AIRPORT, MINIMUM ALTITUDE SURROUNDING THE AIRPORT.
UM, AND ALSO IF YOU HAD ANY LUCK WITH THE NOISE COMPLAINTS THAT CAME IN, SAY AGAIN? AND ALSO IF YOU HAD ANY, IRONICALLY, ANY LUCK WITH THE NOISE COMPLAINTS THAT CAME IN THAT I SAID TOO QUIETLY.
OH, SO WHAT I DISCOVERED, LET ME TACKLE THE NOISE COMPLAINTS FIRST.
UM, THOSE AREN'T RELATED TO THE NEW, UM, FAA DIRECTION, UM, AS IT TURNS OUT THAT INDIVIDUAL'S BEEN PROVIDING COMPLAINTS ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR, FOR MANY YEARS.
AND, UM, UM, I THINK THIS WEEK ALONE, WE'VE PROBABLY SEEN MAYBE A DOZEN FROM THE SAME INDIVIDUAL.
SO, UM, AND THIS IS NOT A PETALUMA RESIDENT, AND, UH, I KNOW THAT I, I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT DAN COHEN HAD OUR PREVIOUS AIRPORT MANAGER HAD ENGAGED WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL.
AND, UH, I, I KNOW THAT OTHERS HAVE AS WELL.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANY, ANY RATIONAL, UM, BUT NOT A NEW SITUATION.
IS THIS FROM THE PEN GROVE AREA? OKAY.
UM, AND UH, AND THEN THE FIRST PART OF THAT WAS THE PROCEDURES UPDATE.
UM, I, I HAVE NOT MADE ANY CONTACT, UM, WITH, WITH FAA TO EXPLORE, UM, REVISING THAT ALTITUDE.
AND, AND I DON'T THINK I'M KIND OF, IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD ANY COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THAT.
UM, IT WAS JUST, AS I UNDERSTOOD IT JUST, JUST PERTAINED TO INSTRUMENT, UM, INSTRUMENT LANDINGS.
IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE TIME OF YEAR.
'CAUSE THIS TIME OF YEAR, A LOT OF AIRCRAFT TAKE OFF THE OTHER DIRECTION.
UM, GOING MORE TOWARDS THE EAST SOUTHEAST, I THINK IT'LL PROBABLY BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN ISSUE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN WE HAVE THE FOG.
AND I LIVE ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE, SO I, AND I'VE SEEN IT.
THERE'S DEFINITELY BEEN A CHANGE, BUT YOU NOTICE IT, IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, BUT
[00:25:01]
I DON'T THINK I'VE RECEIVED ANY NOISE COMPLAINTS YET.NOT TO SAY THERE'S, AND I THINK THERE'S ONLY BEEN, IT, IT'S ONLY AFFECTED A HANDFUL OF FLIGHTS THUS FAR.
I THINK IT MIGHT, THE VOLUME OF FLIGHTS MIGHT BE, UH, MORE SO IN THE SUMMER, BUT EVEN THEN IT'S, IT'S STILL GONNA BE A SMALL AMOUNT COMPARED TO, YOU KNOW, THE AVERAGE DEPARTURE OUT OF THERE.
IT'S STILL SOMETHING THAT WE WANNA SEE FIXED IF WE CAN.
UM, IS THAT, UM, THERE WAS, YOU, YOU WEREN'T UNABLE TO JOIN US LAST TIME, NANCY, BUT THERE WAS A, A COMMENT THAT MAYBE YOU HAD THE CONTACT FOR THE PERSON AT THE FA THAT DOES THAT.
IS THAT TRUE? NO, WE GIVE YOU MORE CREDIT THAN YOU DESERVE.
WELL, YOU DESERVE LOTS OF CREDIT, BUT MAYBE NOT THAT ONE.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE, UM, HOW BEST TO SUPPORT GETTING THAT FIXED.
I CAN, I CAN CONTACT OUR FA SAFETY REP, UM, YOU A PLACE TO START.
I WOULD HAVE TO JUST START WITH THE, THE SAC
SO THAT'S PROBABLY, YOURS IS PROBABLY BETTER.
CAN YOU COORDINATE WITH GINA ABOUT THAT? PLEASE APPRECIATE THAT.
YEAH, THANKS FOR THE HELP ON THAT.
UM, PROJECT STATUS, UH, 1818 C DOOR REPLACEMENT.
THAT'S BEEN QUITE THE JOURNEY.
UM, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AFTERNOON THE WELDS FINALLY PASSED FINAL INSPECTION, SO IT IS EFFECTIVELY NOW COMPLETE.
UM, AND, UH, I, I DON'T RECALL IF THE COMMITTEE WAS, I'M SORRY, IF THE COMMISSION WAS, UM, UH, ADVISED ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH WELDS, BUT THAT WAS THE HANGUP.
SOME, SOME REALLY, UM, MANY, UM, WELDS THAT WERE JUST CLEARLY VISUALLY INSUFFICIENT.
AND SO WE, IT WAS SPOTTED AND WE HAD WELDS, WE HAD, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, CLADDING OFF.
AND THEN, UM, IT WAS A COMBINATION, I THINK, OF SOME CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTOR, UM, UH, CHALLENGES WE'LL SAY.
AND THEN, UH, ON TOP OF WEATHER INTERFERENCE.
SO CLADDING WOULD GO UP AND COME DOWN AND GO UP AND COME DOWN AS THEY WERE TRYING TO GO THROUGH BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THAT DOOR TO REDO ALL THE, ALL THE WELDS THAT WE HAD FLAGGED.
AND WE HAD, UM, INSPECTIONS, UM, FOR ALL OF 'EM THIS TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THAT WE WERE GETTING THE SPECS AND THE QUALITY.
UM, I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THEY WEREN'T.
UM, UH, THESE ARE ALL FIELD WELDS AND FIELD WELDS GENERALLY REQUIRE, UM, FIELD INSPECTION.
AND, UH, OFTENTIMES IT'S AT THE DISCRETION OF AN INSPECT, A STRUCTURAL INSPECTOR THAT'S DOING SUCH THINGS TO SAY, ONCE HE ESTABLISHES WITH THE FIRST INSPECTION, THE LEVEL OF QUALITY AND THE COMPETENCY, ET CETERA.
AND THESE ARE CERTIFIED WELDERS, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY USUALLY WILL SAY, OKAY, I ONLY NEED TO COME OUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE, WHEN YOU'RE DONE, OR WHEN YOU'RE HALFWAY DONE, AND I'LL CHECK AGAIN.
AND, AND SO IT WAS, IT WAS, I THINK ON THAT BASIS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE INSPECTOR THAT, UH, A CLOSE, CLOSER EYE WASN'T KEPT INITIALLY, UM, BUT UM, THEY WERE CAUGHT AND THEY NOW HAVE ALL BEEN REDONE AND REINSPECTED AND CLEARED.
SO, UH, SO NOW THAT IT'S DONE, DO YOU HAVE A TIMELINE ON, UM, MOVING, I GUESS EVERYTHING THAT WAS THE TENANT IN 18, CHARLIE HAD STORED THINGS IN 18 BRAVO MOVING OUT.
SCHEDULE, BUT IT SHOULD BE, I LITERALLY FOUND OUT THAT THE WELDS PASSED RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT, LEFT THE OFFICE TONIGHT.
THE GOOD, THE GOOD NEWS IS IT'S FIXED.
UM, BUT THE SOONER WE COULD GET A TENANT IN 18 BRAVO THE BETTER.
UM, I ALSO, IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE WERE, UH, HOUSEKEEPING ISSUES.
I CALL THEM HOUSEKEEPING ISSUES.
IT'S WHAT CONTRACTORS REFER TO AS THE WAY THEY KEEP THEIR WORKPLACE WHEN THEY'RE ON A PROJECT SITE.
AND, UM, UH, I SPOKE WITH THEM TODAY TO MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE THEY LEAVE THAT SITE, THEY HAVE IT IMMACULATE AND ALL THE DEBRIS AND FASTENERS CLEANED UP AND, UM, THAT WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING OUT THERE AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
SO, UM, I, AND, AND THEY WENT OUT THERE.
THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR WENT OUT THIS AFTERNOON WITHIN AN HOUR OF GETTING MY EMAIL ON THE SUBJECT AND DID A PERSONAL INSPECTION AND UNDERSTOOD, UNDERSTOOD WHAT I MEANT.
SO, UM, DO A MAGNETIC SUIT JUST TO MAKE SURE WE WENT TO ANY SCHOOL SAW.
[00:30:02]
YEAH, HE PROBABLY JUST DID A VISUAL.THEY'RE EASY TO MISS AND FLAT TIRES ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE.
UM, I DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE SAFETY ZONE IMPROVEMENTS.
IT DOES HA IT HA DOES HAVE, UM, UH, CI, THIS IS A CIP PROJECT, UM, NOT A FACILITIES MAINTENANCE PROJECT, SO IT IS STILL CIP HAS ONE OF OUR ENGINEERS ASSIGNED.
AND, UM, I DO NOT KNOW YET WHERE THAT HAS FALLEN ON THE CIP SCHEDULE.
SO I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO UPDATE THAT, UH, IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.
UM, I WILL SAY WITH REGARD TO, UM, ALL OF THE, UM, WELL, THE TWO ACTIVE CIP PROJECTS ARE, ARE DIFFERENT, BUT ANYTHING THAT IS NOT ACTIVE, UM, AND, UH, IS NOT YET, UM, BUDGETED AND ALLOCATED, WE WILL BE, UM, WATCHING VERY CLOSELY FOR THOSE BUDGET REQUESTS, UM, AT THE COUNCIL BUDGET REVIEW, THAT WILL BE STARTING IN MAY, AND THEY'LL BE ADOPTING THE BUDGET BY THE END OF JUNE BECAUSE FISCAL YEAR STARTS JULY ONE, AND THAT'S WHEN IT WILL BE BECOME EFFECTIVE.
SO WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR OUR AIRPORT CIP PROJECTS IN, IN THAT PLAN.
UM, AND GINA, SORRY, JUST ON THAT, UM, SINCE WE WON'T HAVE OUR NEW MANAGER, YOU KNOW, SPOOLED UP CERTAINLY BY THEN, UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU AND THE EXISTING TEAM CAN FACILITATE FEEDING THOSE IN? OR IS THAT A OH, WE HAVE REQUEST TO US.
IT, IN FACT, WE STARTED DOING THAT IN NOVEMBER.
WE STARTED WORKING ON THE CIP BUDGET, JUST MAKING SURE THAT THAT WASN'T GONNA ACCIDENTALLY GET CAUGHT.
DAN, BOTH DAN, WERE WORKING ON THAT WITH OUR CIP MANAGER.
AND THOSE REQUESTS HAVE ALREADY GONE IN AND, UM, AND, UH, HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER AND FINANCE.
AND, UM, WHEN YOU SAID WE'D BE LOOKING FOR THEM, I GOT CONCERNED, I'LL BE LOOKING FOR THEIR APPROVAL.
UH, TAXIWAY A REHAB, WE DID THE PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING, I ATTENDED, UM, AND, UH, UM, UM, DAN WAS AT THESE MEETINGS.
THESE WERE, THESE OCCURRED BEFORE OUR AIRPORT MANAGER, UH, LEFT.
SO HE WAS AT BOTH OF THE KICKOFF MEETINGS FOR TAXIWAY A AND TAXI LANE B UH, I WAS THERE, CIP WAS THERE, I MEAN, HUNT WAS THERE AND THE CONTRACTOR WAS THERE.
UM, THIS WAS WALKING AND DRIVING THE LIMITS OF THE PROJECT, ANSWERING QUESTIONS, TALKING ABOUT ACCESS, TALKING ABOUT, UM, MINIMIZING ANY AIRPORT POTENTIAL AIRPORT CLOSURES AND TALKING ABOUT WHERE THEY CAN STAGE MATERIAL.
A LOT OF THE LOGISTICS AROUND THE PROJECTS, UM, NEITHER OF THESE PROJECTS WILL BE ABLE TO START UP UNTIL WE HAVE ENOUGH, UH, DRY WEATHER SO THAT THE, SO THAT THE LAND IS DRY ENOUGH TO WORK, IT'S IF IT'S TOO MOIST THAT ADOBE JUST PUMPS LITERALLY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EXPERIENCED WHEN YOU'RE GOING OVER WET ADOBE, BUT IT'S LIKE YOU'RE JUST KIND OF RIDING THE WAVE AND IT KIND OF SQUISHES AND SQUIRMS UNDER YOU AND YOU REALLY CAN'T WORK IT.
SO, UM, SO WE DON'T EXACTLY HAVE A START DATE.
I CAN'T SAY, OH, WORK'S GONNA START MAY 10TH.
UM, OR, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, OR MAYBE NOT TILL JUNE OR MAYBE AS EARLY AS LATE APRIL, DEPENDING ON WEATHER, BUT THEY ARE TEEING UP.
WE'RE RECEIVING SUBMITTALS NOW FROM BOTH CONTRACTORS FOR BOTH PROJECTS, WHICH IS THE FIRST PIECE WHERE THEY'RE SUBMITTING, UM, ALL OF THE, UH, DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE MATERIALS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING FOR THE PROJECT.
AND THEN MEET AND HUNT OUR CIP TEAM AND, AND WHEN APPROPRIATE AIRPORT STAFF ARE REVIEWING THOSE FOR CONSISTENCY WITH OUR PLANS AND SPECS AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S ALL GOOD.
AND SO THE GOAL IS TO HAVE ALL THOSE SUBMITTALS IN AND APPROVED SO THAT WHEN WE GET THE WEATHER WINDOW OPEN, WE'RE READY TO GO.
UM, WHO, HOW IS THE DETERMINATION MADE THAT THE SOIL IS DRY, STABLE ENOUGH TO BEGIN? I JUST WONDER WHO THOSE, UM, IT WILL BE A COMBINATION OF THE ENGINEER AND UM, UH, AND CONTRACTOR PROBABLY FIELD VISIT, IF THEY NEED THE GEOTECH OUT THERE, THEY'LL HAVE THE GEOTECH DO A MOISTURE TEST, BUT MM-HMM
BUT, UM, UH, YEAH, THEY'LL, THEY'LL WORK, THEY'LL WORK THAT TOGETHER TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.
THE, THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR KNOWS THE EQUIPMENT HE'S BRINGING ON.
HE KNOWS WHAT THE EQUIPMENT WEIGHS, HE KNOWS IF HE HAS TRACKS OR WHEELS, RIGHT? MM-HMM
HE KNOWS WHAT HE NEEDS TO GET AND HE HAS
[00:35:01]
A PRETTY DARN GOOD FEEL FOR WHAT WILL WORK YEAH.UM, BUT, UM, SO DOES OUR ENGINEER.
AND, AND THEY'LL BE, THEY'LL BE THERE TO, TO, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S A, UM, THAT'S A, THAT THERE'S A CONSENSUS THAT, THAT MAKES SENSE TO START.
NO ONE WANTS TO GET 'EM OUT THERE TOO SOON.
'CAUSE WE'RE WASTING TIME AND MONEY YEAH.
IF WE DO AND, AND EVERYONE HAS THAT SAME COMMON INTEREST.
UM, FUEL FARM REHAB IS, UM, UH, I DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE SINCE THE LAST ONE THAT YOU RECEIVE.
UM, THE PROJECT MANAGER IS OUR SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER, DIANE RAMIREZ, UH, WHO WORKS WITH, UH, WORKS ON MY FINANCE, OR I'M SORRY, MY, UM, FACILITIES MAINTENANCE TEAM.
SHE'S, UH, WAS WITH OUR CIP TEAM FOR, UM, AT LEAST 20 YEARS, 25 YEARS.
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE, NO FUEL FARM EXPERIENCE, BUT A GREAT PROJECT MANAGER.
AND SHE'LL BE LEADING, LEADING THAT PROJECT WHEN WE DO GET IT ON THE, ON THE SCHEDULE.
AND IT IS NOT ON, UH, MY RECOLLECTION IS IT IS NOT ON THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR SCHEDULE.
UM, UH, AND THE NEXT ONE IS, UH, EMERGENCY POWER BACKUP.
WE DO KNOW THAT THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN PUSHED OUT TO 29, 30 FISCAL YEAR, 29 30.
THAT WAS A DECISION MADE BY, UM, CITY MANAGEMENT AND OUR CIP TEAM BECAUSE THEY'VE HAD TO, UM, THEY'VE HAD TO, UM, FINESSE OUR CIP PROGRAM QUITE A BIT FOR, UM, BUDGET CONCERNS AND, UM, HIGHER PRIORITY PROJECTS ARE RISING TO THE TOP.
UM, THIS IS, UM, UM, UH, IT IS A SAFETY RELATED PROJECT AND, AND I, YOU KNOW, DO MY BEST TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT TO GET THESE UP TO THE TOP OF THE HEAP.
UM, BUT, UH, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THERE ARE MANY PROJECTS THAT, UM, SIMILAR TO THIS, THAT ARE VERY MUCH NEEDED AND THAT DO HAVE A NEXUS TO SAFETY THAT HAVE HAD TO BE PUSHED.
SO, UH, AND YOU KNOW, AGAIN, OUR, OUR BUDGET CYCLES ARE CYCLICAL, LIKE THEY ARE WITH, WITH EVERY AGENCY AND EVERY ECONOMY WE, WE DIP AND WE, YOU KNOW, WE SEE THESE CYCLES AND I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL HAVE AT, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT, UM, THE ABILITY TO HAVE A MORE ROBUST AND AGGRESSIVE, UM, SCHEDULE WITH OUR CIP PROJECTS.
AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO BRING THIS BACK IN.
UM, BUT FOR NOW IT'S OUT IN, IT'S OUT IN THE, UM, AFTER YEARS OF 29 30, I THINK.
DO WE STILL HAVE LIKE A MINIMUM CAPABILITY IN CASE OF A WE DO FULL.
YEAH, BECAUSE DAN HAD DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THAT.
UM, AND THEN ONE THAT I DIDN'T LIST AND FOR SOME REASON WASN'T ON HERE, UM, WASN'T ON DAN'S LIST FROM THE LAST MEETING AT ANY RATE, AND I PUT IT IN MY NOTES, BUT IT DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE WRITTEN NOTES.
AND THAT'S, UM, THE 1129 SEAL COAT, UM, PROJECT.
AND, UM, THAT PROJECT WAS FUNDED.
SO WE HAD THE GRANT AWARDED BY THE FAA ON DECEMBER 25TH, 2025.
SO A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, EXCUSE ME.
AND, UM, WE HAVE REQUESTED IN THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR BUDGET THAT'S GOING, THAT COUNCIL WILL BE REVIEWING, UM, THE DESIGN FUNDS TO, UH, DO THIS WORK IN, UM, THIS COMING FISCAL YEAR 26, 27, AND THEN, UH, PER THE STANDARD FAA CADENCE, IF YOU WILL, UH, THERE'S A YEAR SKIPPED AFTER DESIGN AND THEN THE FOLLOWING YEARS CONSTRUCTION.
AND SO THAT WOULD PUT CONSTRUCTION IN 28, 29 FOR THAT SEAL COAT PROJECT.
SO THAT'S THE RAMP SEAL COAT, CORRECT.
SO THERE WAS DISCUSSION BEFORE DAN LEFT ABOUT THE, UH, HANGAR ROSE, I THINK IT'S 14, 15, 16, AND 17.
ALSO, THEY HAD NEVER BEEN SEAL COATED AFTER THEY WERE PUT DOWN.
AND SO THAT HAD BEEN DELAYED AND HE THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT QUARTER, WHICH WAS AT LEAST THREE MONTHS AGO.
YEAH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE THAT WAS, UM, A CONVERSATION HE WAS LIKELY HAVING WITH OUR, UM, WITH OUR, UM, ROAD DEPARTMENT.
THE ROAD DEPARTMENT, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE HE HAD BEEN TRYING TO, TO GET THAT WORK, UM, UM,
[00:40:01]
DOVETAILED IN WITH THEIR REGULAR, UM, SEAL COAT, UM, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PAVING SCHEDULE.SO YEAH, AND IT'S, I'LL, I'LL SEE WHERE THAT LIES.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
YEAH, IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS PRETTY IMMINENT.
WE GET A LOT OF, UH, THE, THE CON THE, UH, ASPHALT IS LOSING ITS INTEGRITY.
IT STARTED, IT'S PUTTING UP A LOT OF, UH, SMALL PARTICULATE MATTER AND, AND SO, UM, I KNOW HE TRIED SOME SWEEPING AND THINGS OUT THERE, BUT YOU KNOW, I HEAR THAT FROM THE TENANTS IN THAT AREA.
I'M IN THAT AREA, NEIGHBORHOOD I HEAR FROM THE TENANTS MM-HMM
SO I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
YEAH, I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET THAT UPDATE TO YOU.
UM, IF NOT, IF NOT IN, IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS.
AND CERTAINLY AT THE NEXT MEETING, THAT'D BE CLEAR.
UM, NON CIPI, UH, THE HANGAR FEASIBILITY STUDY FOLLOW UP.
SO WE PROVIDED FEEDBACK, UM, THAT WE RECEIVED FROM YOU, UH, FROM THIS COMMISSION AT THE LAST MEETING TO, UM, TO MEET AND HUNT AND, UM, UH, AND, UH, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS, UM, IS BRING THAT BACK AS A BUSINESS ITEM FOR DISCUSSION WITH THIS GROUP, UH, AT THE NEXT MEETING.
UM, INSTEAD OF, UH, I, I CAN TELL YOU THAT I, I RECEIVED A, UM, NOT A FORMAL PROPOSAL, BUT I GOT ROUGH NUMBERS FOR WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO DO THAT, THAT MARKET, UM, FEASIBILITY THAT WE ARE REQUESTING.
AND, UM, THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IT BE A FOLLOW-UP STUDY AND THEIR ESTIMATE IS IN THE 15 TO $20,000 ORDER MAGNITUDE.
BUT WHAT I REALLY LIKE TO DO IS HAVE A MORE COMPLETE DISCUSSION ON THAT, UM, UH, ON AN AGENDA ITEM.
IF WE COULD, WE CAN ALSO DO THAT AS AN AD HOC MEETING POTENTIALLY.
PARDON? THAT FITS WITHIN ONE OF OUR AD HOCS.
SO THAT'S YOU AND TOM, TOM, YEAH.
SO THAT YOU COULD START THERE.
YEAH, WE CAN GET SOMETHING ON THE CALENDAR TO SIT DOWN AND GO THROUGH THAT.
UM, AND THEN, UH, THE LAST IS A REPEAT.
IT WAS, IT WAS THE HANGAR 18 SEAT DOOR THAT, THAT ENDED UP ON IN TWO LOCATIONS.
SO, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT, AND THAT CONCLUDES THE ITEMS THAT I WAS GOING TO UPDATE YOU ON, BUT HAPPY TO RESPOND TO ANY COMMISSION QUESTIONS.
UM, SO MONTHLY WE WERE GETTING THE FUEL REPORTS MM-HMM
UM, WILL WE CONTINUE TO GET SOME SORT OF ANALYSIS, UH, ONCE WE HAVE A NEW MANAGER? ARE WE GONNA, YOU KNOW, YOU HAD HAD MENTIONED, IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN THE REPORTS THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER? YOU HAD MENTIONED CARGO, BUT THERE'S ALSO FUEL.
YEAH, THAT, THAT KIND OF SITUATIONAL AWARENESS I THINK IS VALUABLE FOR GAUGING THE HEALTH OF THE ACTIVITIES AT THE AIRPORT, THE TYPE OF ACTIVITIES AT THE AIRPORT, THE NEEDS OF, YOU KNOW, IT'S MM-HMM
THOSE ARE SORT OF THE HEARTBEAT OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
ANYTHING ELSE? UH, JUST ONE COMMENT.
UM, DON'T MEAN TO THROW ROCKS INTO THE POND, BUT, UM, A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, OH,
UM, AND SUMMARIZE THAT PRETTY MUCH ON ONE PAGE, BOTH THE REVENUE AND THE EXPENSES.
UM, AND, UM, ONE OF YOUR PRIOR PREDECESSORS, UH, THREW IT OUT AS IRRELEVANT, SO I DIDN'T DO IT AFTER THAT
UM, BUT IF YOU LIKE, I CAN SEND YOU A COPY OF IT AND THAT'D BE YEAH, OF COURSE.
IF THAT WOULD BE OF ANY VALUE.
I PUT THE, UM, ACCOUNTING CATEGORY NUMBERS MM-HMM
YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY WERE THROUGH WHATEVER, AND THAT WAS OVER WHATEVER YOU ROLLED UP INTO THAT.
SO I, I CAN DO THAT IF YOU LIKE, GINA.
I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT EXACTLY THE SAME THING.
I FEELING THERE AREN'T A LOT OF WAYS TO SKIN THAT CAT.
IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT YEAH, I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT.
AND, AND IF THERE, IF IT'S A FORMAT THAT, THAT Y'ALL ARE COMFORTABLE WITH OR THAT YOU'VE SEEN, HAVE, HAVE ALL THE COMMISSIONERS SEEN THAT, OR IS THAT SO OLD THAT MAYBE NOT EVERYONE HAS? UM, I DON'T THINK THESE FOLKS HAVE SEEN IT.
BUT, 'CAUSE IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO.
SO ANYWAY, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH THE DETAILS TOO, SO.
YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THROWING NUMBERS AT US.
[00:45:01]
THAT.ALL RIGHT, WELL, UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR GINA? NO.
I'LL JUST SAY THANKS TO GINA FOR JUMPING IN AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE RIGHT NOW.
SO I'M SURE THE LAST THING YOU WANTED TO DO IS, UH, DEAL WITH EVERYTHING AT THE AIRPORT, BUT WE DEFINITELY, WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE.
NO, IT ACTUALLY, IT'S A LOT OF FUN.
YOU KNOW, I MIGHT GRUMBLE EVERY NOW AND THEN BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I DON'T, YOU KNOW, I WANNA DO EVERYTHING 110% AND I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE 110% OF MY TIME THERE.
BUT, UM, IT'S BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I LOVE BEING OUT THERE.
I'M OUT ON SITE, I'M AT THE OFFICE, UM, FOR A PORTION OF AT LEAST THREE DAYS A WEEK, MONDAY, TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS.
I WAS OUT THERE FOR A BIT EVERY DAY OF THE FOUR OF MY FOUR REGULAR DAYS.
SO SPENDING A LOT OF TIME THERE, LEARNING A LOT AND FINDING STAFF TO BE AMAZING.
EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE AND, UM, AND SUPER HELPFUL.
UH, THE AMOUNT OF GOODWILL AMONG, UM, STAFF AND THE TENANTS AND, AND COMMISSIONERS AND THE FOLKS I MEET OUT THERE IS, IS, UM, IS REALLY WARM AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR IT.
SO, NO, IT'S, IT'S BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE.
I'M HAPPY TO DO THIS AND, AND IF IT WERE MY ONLY JOB, I WOULD STAY FOREVER.
WELL GOING, GOING 6 47 ADJOURNED RECORD.
