1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,760
 All right. So with a quorum being present, I will now call this City of Denton Economic

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:17,040
 Development Partnership Board meeting on Wednesday, January 11, 2020 to order. Just want to remind

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:22,920
 everyone that this is being live streamed and recorded. So please say your name and

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,920
 before you speak and speak loudly and clearly. And if you have phones, please turn those

5
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,600
 off for the time being because I can't imagine anything more important than what we are doing

6
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,160
 here together today. Let's change the world. We're going to start with items for consideration

7
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:51,280
 1A, EDP 23-004. Consider approval of the minutes of September 14, 2022. Those were in your

8
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:59,520
 packet and distributed prior to today. At this time, the Chair will accept a motion for approval

9
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:07,760
 as distributed in a second before we have a discussion. All right. It's been moved.

10
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:14,320
 Do I hear a second? It's a second. All right. It's been moved and seconded. Are there any

11
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:22,800
 proposed edits to the minutes from where they were distributed? Any further discussion?

12
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,720
 Hearing none, I will call the vote. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. All

13
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:35,600
 those opposed, please signify by saying nay. And are there any abstentions? All right.

14
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:42,880
 The motion carries. Items for consideration B, EDP 23-005, elected Chair and Vice Chair

15
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,200
 to the Economic Development Partnership Board. The further information about when that's

16
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,800
 supposed to happen and how long those terms are was included in Exhibit 1 in the agenda

17
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,480
 information sheet. But these are one-year terms and anyone who is a voting member of

18
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:08,000
 the board can serve as Chair and/or Vice Chair. The Chair gets together on the agenda before

19
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:18,240
 we have our meetings and proposes on behalf of the board agenda items and governs the

20
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,600
 meetings. And the Vice Chair does all of those things as well as fill in to chair the meetings

21
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:31,040
 if the Chair is absent. Which can only occur less than three times annually for our commitment.

22
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:37,040
 I read that in what I signed so. Wow. Yeah. You know what, I'm not the only one here that's

23
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:46,320
 surprised that Steve can read. So this is a huge deal. You know, running one of the top

24
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:53,760
 five taxpayers in our city and managing the health care of thousands and thousands and

25
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:01,360
 thousands of citizens. I'm thrilled, thrilled at your commitment to learning to read. Just

26
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:08,080
 kidding. So currently I'm obviously serving as the current Chair and Steve is our Vice Chair.

27
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:15,280
 But at this time I will accept nominations for Chair and then we will move to Vice Chair

28
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:20,480
 and again you can self nominate as well as nominate someone else.

29
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:30,320
 Council Member Davis. I will nominate Jill Jester for Chair. Second.

30
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:37,200
 Are there any other nominations for Chair for this next year?

31
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,560
 Making it awkward. Just to make sure everyone feels like they've had an opportunity.

32
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:56,240
 All right. Hearing no other nominations. All those in favor of Jill Jester to serve

33
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:02,480
 as Chair for another year, please signify by saying aye. Aye. All those opposed, same sign.

34
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:09,680
 Nay. I'm just kidding. I got time and it was off. If you could identify yourself. Yeah, Steve.

35
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:24,240
 Read. Just kidding. Okay. Any abstentions? All right. Well the motion carries almost unanimously

36
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,320
 and thank you for putting up with me for another year. Obviously I very much care about the City

37
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:38,080
 of Denton and our prosperity will be. So thank you and sorry to staff and everyone that now has to

38
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,560
 work with me whether you. Okay let's move on to Vice Chair. So at this time the floor is open

39
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:55,360
 for nominations for Vice Chair for this next year of this board. Come on y'all. I did the last one.

40
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:09,280
 Sure. All right. Who did you nominate? Steve Edgar. Are there any other nominations?

41
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:18,000
 All right. So there is one nomination for Vice Chair for this next year of this board and that

42
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,080
 is Steve Edgar. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. All those opposed,

43
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:33,360
 please signify by saying nay. Any abstentions? Yeah. Mr. Edgar, congratulations. Thank you.

44
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:40,080
 Oh my gosh. No more than three absences. I'm no more than three absences. All right.

45
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,960
 Oh who seconded the motion? I'm gonna say Mr. Davis did because he raised his hand

46
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:04,320
 right after Mr. Tory did. Yeah I like it. All right well thank you and let's keep moving along.

47
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:11,120
 Items for consideration CEDP 23-006. Receive a report and hold a discussion regarding activities

48
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,960
 and development at Denton Enterprise Airport and we certainly appreciate our speaker coming back

49
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,280
 to fill us in on what's happening. The airport is a huge conduit for economic development.

50
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:29,520
 It's huge as far as visibility in our state and across the nation. It's so much busier than I

51
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,400
 think people realize and we're very pleased to have the airport director here today to tell us

52
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,720
 what's happening, what's on the horizon, and anything that we could be doing to help you.

53
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,240
 So welcome. Thank you. Thank you. Good morning. I am Scott Gray. I'm the airport director for

54
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,560
 Denton Enterprise Airport here in the city and I do have a presentation that you probably got in

55
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,120
 your packet in November the last time I was here but believe it or not it was May of 2019 the last

56
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,840
 time I was here so probably a lot of things have changed for those that were still on this board.

57
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:04,720
 I'll cover some of those and in the last two months even some of the PowerPoint has changed

58
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:14,080
 so I'll cover some of those as well. So quickly in 2022 we finished the year with about

59
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,160
 81 ground leases so that would be for anybody leasing land from the city. They typically build

60
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,840
 their own facilities so they build their own hangars, they'll build their own office space,

61
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,600
 whatever the case may be. So we have 81 tenants on the airport at the moment, underground leases.

62
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:36,320
 42 businesses, so some of those businesses have multiple properties which our fixed base operators

63
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:45,120
 do. So 42 businesses, maintenance, aircraft sales, charter, etc. So all of the different

64
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,720
 aspects of aviation needs for the folks that visit our airport. We just finished our

65
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:59,200
 base aircraft update. We did a hanger inspection, 425 base airplanes. 36 of those are corporate jets

66
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,000
 and then the spattering of single-engine, multi-engine, med trans helicopters is there

67
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,840
 so they have their helicopters there as well. And believe it or not there's two balloons

68
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:16,000
 that we have. This happens to be an airline pilot that actually does balloons. I think she's been in

69
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,840
 a couple of the city events in the last couple of years as well so she does have her balloons

70
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:29,120
 at the airport as well. We do have two runways. So let's see in 2019 we would have been working

71
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,200
 on our second runway. So now we have two runways. In the picture as you can see right here is our

72
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:42,720
 primary runway and then the parallel runway is here. 7,002 feet for the primary, 5,002 feet

73
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:49,680
 for the secondary. The secondary runway was added pretty much to help support flight training and

74
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:57,920
 separate traffic from faster, larger airplanes to the smaller airplanes which I think has addressed

75
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,240
 the reason why we've seen an increase in our operations that I'll cover in a minute.

76
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:11,200
 We have about 950 acres at the airport, most of which you can kind of see is it's right through

77
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:17,280
 here. We do own this property here on this side and we do own this property right here as well

78
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,480
 where the freeway will go through and I'll cover that in a minute as well.

79
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:32,720
 Excuse me, could you reference this? Oh this one over here? Yeah absolutely, absolutely. So as the

80
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,880
 title says busiest general aviation airport in the state of Texas. One can argue that but the state

81
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,320
 said it so we're going to go with it. Generally speaking the operational levels for the busiest

82
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:52,720
 is between us, Fort Worth, Meacham and McKinney. We all do about the same thing. We're in different

83
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,160
 locations but flight training up or down any particular month will push somebody up for the

84
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,800
 busiest for that month etc etc. But since the state agreed with me that we were the busiest we're going

85
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:09,840
 to go ahead and keep using that. What's pretty exciting for us right now is this has 150 operations

86
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:17,840
 per year. We blew that out of the water this year. We were almost 177,000 operations. So mainly

87
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,440
 increased traffic not only from training so when we got the second runway people that weren't

88
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,680
 willing to come use our airport because of one runway their safety concerns with larger aircraft

89
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,280
 and smaller aircraft. Having the secondary runway has been enticed not only our flight school that's

90
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,200
 based at the airport to increase their their presence but also other aircraft are coming from

91
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,880
 different airports and training at our facility as well. So let's see I started about five and a half

92
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:54,080
 years ago. We were at 127,000 operations when I got here. So in five years we've seen about a 40%

93
00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:00,080
 increase in operations. I would expect depending upon the economy that we would probably see a

94
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:06,800
 little more growth in operations at the at the airfield. What we're hoping to see is an increase

95
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:13,520
 in corporate activity. The training activity is great we need more pilots but those those folks

96
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:19,360
 don't buy a lot of gas which is which are secondary revenue sources for the airport. So having

97
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:25,120
 corporate airplanes fly particularly transient which means going to and from our airport somewhere

98
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,400
 else will enhance not only the presence of the airport but in business activity at the at the

99
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:36,080
 city. Yes sir. Back on the runways so 7,000 feet is there any corporate jet that can't get in the

100
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:43,920
 dent now or what what can we have? We can accommodate pretty much any existing corporate

101
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:52,560
 aircraft in the fleet. We actually have 737 it comes periodically DC-9s so 7,000 feet is sufficient.

102
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:59,280
 Now if it's 100 degrees in the summer they're fully loaded they're in a Gulfstream stage 650

103
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,560
 maybe not be able to fully load with fuel or passengers they'll have to adjust for that.

104
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:14,720
 Thank you. We are the fourth busiest contract tower. So contract tower different from an FAA tower. So

105
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:22,080
 FAA tower like McKinney excuse me like Meacham and like Dallas Fort Worth and Dallas Lovefield

106
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,760
 those are operated built and operated by the FAA. Most of the smaller airports have what's called

107
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:34,080
 contract towers where the the sponsor the municipality builds those facilities and then

108
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,880
 the FAA pays their contractors to go work in it. It actually is about

109
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:48,800
 20 percent of the cost of operating a FAA tower so it's a lot cheaper. So for smaller airports it

110
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:55,680
 it's turned out to be a fantastic program. I believe there's nearly 300 of those towers in

111
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:03,120
 the program one of which is ours and we are number four across the country. The ones that are busier

112
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:10,240
 really have a little bit better weather than we do. Arizona and Florida those are the two busiest ones

113
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:16,800
 and they do a tremendous amount of flight training at those facilities. I always like this one I

114
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,880
 think we're a little higher now the December numbers aren't into the FAA system to update that

115
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:28,480
 number but we're number 89 in the country overall all airports is busiest. When I moved here I moved

116
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,560
 here from Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh was number 90 so I thought well this is an upgrade so this is

117
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:40,640
 one step at a time one at a time. So this will be of interest to all of you folks and I'm sure that

118
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:47,600
 you may have seen some of this information when it came out. TxDOT does a economic impact study for

119
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,520
 all the airports of the state and this was what they gleaned from that when they did ours in 2018

120
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:59,840
 obviously these numbers are different now. We've been encouraging TxDOT to create a web-based system

121
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,720
 where we can actually change parameters and get new numbers on the fly. Some other states have done

122
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:12,000
 that so we're interested in getting as new of information as we can. 2018 data doesn't really

123
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,840
 tell us much today unfortunately but 1,400 jobs so that's jobs at the airport and that's jobs

124
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:26,480
 that support the airport so could be jobs at rental car could be jobs at hotels etc etc office

125
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:33,280
 supply companies so that's all that's all across the board not just at the airport. 45 million

126
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,760
 dollars in payroll and you know 150 million dollars in goods and services and I'm sure

127
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,440
 these numbers have been enhanced just with activity that's going on. You can see in some

128
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:49,760
 of the pictures the types of airplanes we have corporate jets etc. We do have a number of service

129
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:58,000
 providers so this has changed since November when I was here. We have two fixed base operators fixed

130
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,000
 base operator is the ones they're kind of like the concierge of the of the airport they provide

131
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,840
 fueling they arrange for catering they arrange for hotel rental cars etc so they're kind of the

132
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:15,120
 concierge. They are a private business they lease property from us they they provide all the services

133
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:24,400
 for us. US Jet Center was just purchased by Shelter Aviation which is a private company that operates

134
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:31,840
 15 FBOs across the country mainly in Florida so they bought they bought their facility out and

135
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:38,640
 they now have a presence they did their official opening December 7th I think it was when we did

136
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:46,240
 the official ribbon cutting mayor was there for that event and we're excited about their presence

137
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:53,600
 they have a history of being the number one FBO in the country over the last four years so it brings

138
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,160
 a lot of professionalism and a lot of contacts that would be helpful for attracting those business

139
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:05,360
 customers to our facility as well. US Trinity Aviation they are our other FBO so we have two

140
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:11,680
 at the moment and then US Aviation Academy US Jet Center US Aviation Academy we're owned by the same

141
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:19,440
 company the Aviation Academy stayed so they are leasing now from their new landlord and stayed

142
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:25,440
 and they probably have nearly 200 airplanes just to do their flight training their biggest problem

143
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,520
 is they don't have enough mechanics to keep the airplanes checked they have to do a check every

144
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,680
 hundred hours so their their struggle is not that they don't have enough people that want to fly

145
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,640
 it's making sure that the airplanes have been checked off so they can fly. Met Trans as I

146
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,840
 mentioned earlier exciting news with them it just we went to council last night and was approved on

147
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:52,000
 consent they've opted for their second parcel next to their development and then we'll be building

148
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,560
 another facility there that will house their fixed wing training program so they do their helicopter

149
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,320
 training program they'd be doing their fixed wing training program and additional helicopter

150
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,960
 flight training devices there so we're excited about that taking place as well and then as I

151
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:13,920
 mentioned earlier a number of other businesses that are at the facility. Development opportunities

152
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:22,560
 this is this is on the east side of the airport so give you a perspective the terminal building

153
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,440
 is right off the picture here so here's airport road coming right down here here's the terminal

154
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:33,440
 area of the tower you can see right there so this is where most of our remaining property is on the

155
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:42,640
 east side if it's in the green it's available if it's in red it's already part of leasehold and

156
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,200
 these are right of first refusal so this is the parcel that Met Trans is going to build on

157
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:52,080
 so here's their existing facility right here and they have this in their leases right of first

158
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:59,040
 refusal when they decide to move on so they'll be building on that site. We do have applications

159
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:05,440
 and development going to start on site 10 and 11 so those will probably be moving forward here in

160
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:12,880
 the next several months as soon as we get some design criteria from that and then with shelter

161
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:19,520
 coming in they've already expressed interest not only do they run FBOs but they do hanger development

162
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,080
 across the country so they're interested in expanding our hanger presence because

163
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,960
 we don't have any places to put all those corporate jets that are going to come

164
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,920
 right there's no more room so they're very interested in in developing some of these parcels

165
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:42,640
 and maybe expanding on some of their old leasehold. So this is a significant piece to the future of

166
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,880
 the airport is Luke 288 and I know Luke 288 has probably been talked about for a couple decades

167
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:57,360
 I would imagine it never fails it's always that way right. Our excitement with this is that's

168
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:04,560
 what's going to allow us to develop this parcel here which is aviation and then as I mentioned we

169
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:10,880
 own this parcel right here that the free world will be coming through that'll allow the airport

170
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,640
 not only to have additional aviation resources on that side but it'll also allow us to diversify

171
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:24,480
 have non-aviation related revenue if say class a office space restaurant whatever the case may be

172
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,680
 could be on airport property and we could glean additional revenues that we're not seeing now.

173
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:39,120
 Unfortunately it's not there yet I don't know when it will be there yet I know TechSoc's in

174
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:45,200
 the process of doing all their acquisition of the right away so if that's taking place now I'm

175
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:52,640
 guessing we're still five plus years out to see that happen and I'll be gracious with five years.

176
00:19:53,440 --> 00:20:00,000
 The key for our success is if we could get right here's Jim Crystal if we could get the north

177
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
 northbound access road built first which I know there's conversations with TechSoc to build that

178
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,440
 piece that'll open us up with development opportunities when that starts right now

179
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:19,520
 which is very different property in between the current we own this and we own this parcel right

180
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:26,560
 here so it'll split that parcel some of that's floodplain you know obviously some issues there

181
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:32,320
 I'm sure we'll work with parks and do something exciting over there for the can't be developed but

182
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:39,600
 obviously the future of our airport is is really getting this this access to that side because

183
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:45,600
 that can expand our development opportunities as you know Cole and Hunter Ranch will be all through

184
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:53,920
 here south of the airport we're hopeful that that will draw additional folks that need corporate

185
00:20:53,920 --> 00:21:02,080
 travel that need class a office space etc etc I say this and I'll hope I don't offend anybody

186
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:07,040
 but I've said this ever since I got here frozen peas don't fly on airplanes so we have a lot of

187
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:13,200
 development around the industrial park which is great you know I'm sure it's fantastic for the city

188
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:19,440
 but that doesn't put people on airplanes we need corporate presence in order to enhance our our

189
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:27,760
 airport activity so we do work closely with Wayne and his staff on people that are interested in

190
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,680
 bringing warehousing etc and then if there's an aviation component how we can how we can help with

191
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:45,680
 that this this picture here is from the airport master plan that was completed 15 2015 I believe

192
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:53,600
 it was 2013 data so what this shows is what was proposed to happen in the in that different time

193
00:21:53,600 --> 00:22:00,080
 frames right it's a 20-year plan this was to show what would be proposed in in different sections

194
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:06,640
 of that plan as you can see this piece right here is that parallel runway which is already

195
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,520
 constructed so some of these things are done some of these things have already been foregone

196
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:18,000
 because the property was used for for a different type of development versus t hangers etc the fire

197
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,800
 station I believe was shown to be right over here the fire station actually is currently under

198
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,440
 construction right next to the terminal building because it was a better location for access not

199
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:38,080
 only for airport but also for the firefighters to respond to the industrial area etc so the exciting

200
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:45,520
 thing about about this picture some of this stuff is done and we've convinced the fa and tech stock

201
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:52,080
 to do another update to our master plan and that's what we're going to be starting here shortly as I

202
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,400
 mentioned the fire station there's a picture a rendering of what the fire station will look like

203
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,880
 if you've been out to the airport before here's the terminal building right here towers just off

204
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,880
 the picture so we kind of created it to kind of look like it all fit in at the same time period

205
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,240
 so we didn't have something that looked a little older or something a little newer a few facade

206
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,120
 changes will be done to the terminal building to help it match so that project fencing is up they'll

207
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:23,920
 start moving dirt here probably in the next week and that project's likely going to take about 16

208
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:32,240
 months to finish barring any additional supply chain issues that obviously we faced for a long

209
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,920
 time this is the fire truck that was it was purchased it's probably been a little over a

210
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:43,840
 year ago now that that came in so we already have the fire truck that one will be stationed

211
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:49,520
 here along with two other trucks the other two trucks obviously will respond to other incidents

212
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:56,400
 within their range the master plan as I mentioned that will likely go to council for a contract for

213
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:06,160
 our consultant to in march and then that project will take 18 months that project will look at all

214
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:12,560
 opportunities available to the city for our airport so not just general aviation not just corporate

215
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,920
 flight training but they will be looking at similar to what mckinney did is there a necessity to have

216
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:26,400
 passenger service is there is a necessity to have cargo activity obviously alliances is pretty much

217
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:35,040
 full at this point so that will be looked at and that process the master plan is a pretty

218
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:41,520
 strange straightforward process but we're asking our planning firm to kind of ask the questions

219
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:47,280
 about what we could be and then allow us to go to the council and say these are these are directions

220
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:52,320
 which which exit we want to take who do we want to be over the next 20 years and then we'll develop

221
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,440
 the rest of the plan accordingly so that could mean runway pavement strength increases could be

222
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:04,880
 runway length could be you know different facilities etc etc that that that plan will help us get there

223
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:10,880
 the next project which we were working with the fa and texas on that went to council last night as

224
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:19,440
 well to finish the design is a nearly 20 million dollar runway reconstruction project so our primary

225
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:26,880
 runway hasn't been touched in decade or more so there's major cracks there's some subsurface

226
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:33,360
 issues some of which we've repaired as we kind of log just so happened the acting administrator

227
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:38,560
 from the fa happened to show up out at the airport and i gave him a tour and allowed him to stick his

228
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,840
 hand down into the runway into the crack and the next thing i know the fa's number one project for

229
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:49,440
 the region happens to be our 20 million dollar project so we got we got lucky that he came and

230
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:55,760
 visited with his staff so that project's going to probably move forward with design here very quickly

231
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,680
 with construction happening at the end of this year through part of next year our biggest concern

232
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:07,200
 is is as you can imagine if we're that busy we got to close this runway how long it's going to be

233
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:13,600
 closed it's not uncommon for engineers and to say well you need to be closed for three or four months

234
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:20,160
 and three or four months closure for an airport doesn't really work well right as you can imagine

235
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:26,640
 so we've indicated to them hey we know walmart got their runway reconstructed completely similar

236
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,920
 length as ours in two weeks so i think you guys need to go back and figure out how we can do it

237
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:37,280
 better i'll give you 30 days that's how much time i'll give you so that's where we're working towards

238
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,080
 now they got to finish the design figure out how we can get there but anything we can do to minimize

239
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,800
 the downtime for our primary runway for our for our businesses that are located there and then our

240
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:54,960
 customers that are coming in as our primary goal there we go now i'll open it up with any questions

241
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,920
 that you might have nothing's off off the limits councilmember davis and if anyone else has a

242
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:05,040
 question just raise your hand i'll make notes and we'll go down the line go ahead uh talking about

243
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,600
 the fire department can you tell us a little bit about the economic impact that will have and kind

244
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:15,600
 of obviously more fire fire stations the better uh better emergency response and all that kind of

245
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:21,360
 stuff for that part of town um but having it at the airport why is that so important it's a great

246
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:31,840
 question um mainly uh large corporate operators um will actually call especially international

247
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,880
 customers and we've had some international customers come they come from england they'll

248
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,880
 land to clear customs someplace else and then they'll come to us for whatever reason they're

249
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,520
 doing business and they'll ask those questions quite often from international travelers if you have

250
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:52,800
 arf is what it's called aircraft rescue and firefighting on the airport while we do the

251
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:59,040
 truck is there there's the uh the firefighters respond from either station three which is by

252
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:05,680
 ut or station seven which is down off of vintage they respond get in the truck and then then they're

253
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:12,640
 there um so what the significant is is sometimes those operators have sops in their own operation

254
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,360
 of their aircraft they won't go to an airport that doesn't have on-site are especially if they're

255
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:27,440
 carrying passengers right um so i think it will make a big difference in future decisions by

256
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:34,240
 businesses wanting to be located or operate to and from is because we will have we will have on-site

257
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:40,320
 fire response so in order in order to handle larger airplanes and things like that you have

258
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:46,000
 we've discussed this many times before it's part 139 which is a safety certification from the

259
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,040
 airport we operate that way since i've been here but we just don't have a certificate because we

260
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:57,120
 don't have a need to have one that requires firefighters to respond to the middle of the

261
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:03,920
 runway within three minutes well obviously now that's very difficult to do is to get somebody

262
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,760
 from station three or seven over get in the truck and get the apparatus out to the middle of the

263
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:19,600
 runway obviously being on the airport we'll be able to meet that yes oh councilmember davis and

264
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:26,160
 mr corey yes i heard the news today that uh most of the major airports shut down because of uh

265
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:33,360
 system problems how does it affect our airport with that national system problem and did it

266
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:40,800
 affect our airport today yes so that was the note of system which um they changed the name of it so

267
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:48,400
 it was the notice to airmen is what the official name was everybody that has a safety issue

268
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:56,000
 piece of pavements closed etc etc reports that to the fa that thing is available to all pilots that

269
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:02,560
 are going to and from those airports that system in about 1800 zulu last night so give or take

270
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:13,040
 24 hours ago um went down um which then pilots can't get the safety information that they may

271
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:18,240
 need so throughout the night i had emails throughout the night because i'm on that system

272
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,760
 um that it was broken at some point in time the fa decided that they were going to do a ground

273
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:30,960
 stop for all commercial airlines and i think it actually expanded to all ifr which is basically

274
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:37,680
 corporate and uh commercial airlines so they did a ground stop because the pilots couldn't get the

275
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:42,400
 safety information where they were going let's say a piece of navigation of equipment was

276
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,480
 non-operational they wouldn't know that so they'd be trying to tune in while they're flying and they

277
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:53,760
 can't get it you know that kind of stuff so um for the airlines major impact major impact for us

278
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,960
 yeah we did see some corporate airplanes that were sitting on the ground waiting to leave

279
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,360
 because they they were have to wait till the ground stop was over flight training and those

280
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:06,400
 types of things were unaffected so we still had airplanes operating but we had a few corporate

281
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:12,400
 airplanes i could tell that were sitting there uh apu's running indoors closed going hmm what

282
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:18,400
 are we going to get out of here um so yeah they they did lift that uh before this meeting started

283
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:24,800
 so um hopefully that won't have any future impact on us at least today the airlines i'm sure

284
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,520
 especially unfortunately southwest will probably struggle through it because the way their system

285
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:34,400
 works as we found out recently with some of the things that they struggled with it'll have an

286
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:40,480
 impact on their operation was there any kind of dollar negative was there any kind of dollar

287
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:49,200
 negative effect for our airport you know it has an impact on business operators right um but it's

288
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:55,520
 back operational so you know i'm sure the fa is going to be doing a full-blown investigation to

289
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,720
 try to figure out how they can have that never happen again um we'll see what happens but it is

290
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,600
 an important system that we we rely on as an airport operator to tell pilots when there's a

291
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,320
 piece of pavement closed or there's a situation the navigational facility doesn't work whatever

292
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,120
 it's down for maintenance so it's important that it does work

293
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,560
 council member days can you talk a little bit you mentioned the master plan and the master plan

294
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:28,880
 process and there will be a point in that process where you kind of stop and set the vision kind of

295
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,680
 pick a i think you said pick an offer pick an exit or pick a direction can you tell us a little

296
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,800
 bit about what some of those directions might be knowing that we've still got a whole planning

297
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,520
 process to go through but what are we talking about what are some different things that we could do

298
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:51,600
 if we're already really performing at this top tier and pretty busy sure um so it's it's pretty

299
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,720
 much the character of the airport so we're a general aviation airport we don't have scheduled

300
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:02,800
 airline service we don't have large cargo operators like alliance we have small cargo

301
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:09,040
 operators and occasional deliveries for peterville etc because we can handle certain size airplanes

302
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:15,360
 so that's who we are that's who this airport's been for its existence right unless it was when

303
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:22,560
 it was a military um training facility so that's one direction we continue to be general aviation

304
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,920
 we continue to expand for corporate business purposes private flyers etc the other one is

305
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:34,320
 like mckinney's doing current commercial service do we think that commercial service would be

306
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:40,320
 warranted in this area of the metroplex right so we'd have to go through very similar things that

307
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:48,720
 that mckinney has already gone through over the last several years so is the area the metroplex

308
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:57,600
 have demand large enough that another facility would be warranted right then we could venture

309
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:03,360
 down that path right building a terminal building on the other side with the freeway etc and then

310
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:10,960
 second to that different than what we are would be larger cargo operation something similar if

311
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:17,920
 you will to what alliance is doing we can be who we are not a lot of changes other than you know

312
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:23,040
 some additional infrastructure taxiways connectors stuff to get people from the runways to the new

313
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,760
 facilities if you start talking passenger service then you need a new terminal building you need all

314
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:34,320
 of that infrastructure and i think mckinney is considering floating a pretty large huge um

315
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:41,360
 bond to do that i i heard numbers of 400 million i believe the construction for the terminal

316
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:48,400
 building and to get them started is 200 million um to give them four gates and have some operations

317
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,320
 to do that cargo obviously is a whole different animal because you need

318
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:59,600
 large warehouses that are connected either airside connected so they would be on airport property

319
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:06,800
 where the aircraft in the earth and the facility is a joint versus just in the industrial park

320
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:12,000
 because you have to get it from the airplane to the storage facility etc etc so there'll be some

321
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:19,280
 logistics with that but those are really the three off-ramps right could there be a combination of

322
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,800
 all of those it's impossible there could be a combination of those when you when you take

323
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:32,080
 one of those it impacts the others right so if you decide you want to have passenger service then

324
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,040
 that'll likely have an impact on decisions for the general aviation facilities you may see operators

325
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,360
 decide they don't want to operate at our airport anymore flight schools may decide they would like

326
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,800
 to go someplace less congested with large airplanes etc etc so all those things will have to take

327
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:55,120
 into consideration normally when you do an airport master plan you don't make that pause you just go

328
00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:01,520
 they they come back with here's the plan to accommodate everything we can think of that

329
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:07,920
 that makes sense for this this region i believe it's important for us to kind of make sure

330
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:14,320
 that the council and the citizens understand here's our options and what makes sense for us

331
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:20,160
 is the city not just the airport but for the city of what we need and what would be supported and

332
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:28,000
 then make the appropriate capital choices right could be runway length could be increased pavement

333
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,360
 strength currently in order to view passenger service we could do passenger service with smaller

334
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:39,200
 airplanes right now today we could probably figure out a way to make that happen but if you're going

335
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:46,400
 to use you know aircraft bigger than 737s like a320s things like that for cargo or passenger

336
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:53,600
 service our runway is generally not strengthened enough to handle that size airplane runway length

337
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:58,960
 is debatable you know we have seven thousand some argue we need eight for certain types of aircraft

338
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:05,760
 operations some say ten you know all of those things can be done it'll take a pretty good chunk

339
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:12,160
 of money because we've got to cross drainage areas we may have to relocate roadways etc etc so

340
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:22,400
 that will have major impacts on whatever direction we get yes for our help with executive assistant to

341
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:32,080
 jill jester uh question along those lines do commercial airport department do uh like like

342
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:39,920
 what mckinney's done does that make money do those does it does it is it is it a a service or is it a

343
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:45,120
 moneymaker right is it is going to catch recapture those costs or is it a convenience quote unquote

344
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:51,440
 cost great question mayor and and the general answer is depending upon the size of the airport

345
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,000
 right so if you take mckinney they're going to get started they're going to start off as the lowest

346
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:03,360
 level commercial service facility so there's non-hub small medium being dallas lovefield

347
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:09,120
 and large being dfw right those are kind of the sizes so you're going to start off small

348
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:15,040
 generally when you're in the non-hub maybe even the small you started you probably aren't making

349
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:22,160
 much money probably costing you there's a lot of investment up front to get it and then it may come

350
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:29,760
 as the service expands you get additional airlines etc etc but to start no it will be more of a

351
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:38,560
 service to the region than it would be as a economic impact to their bottom line got and

352
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,680
 follow up to that so councilmember davis and i were at alliance and talking to h ross brod jr

353
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:50,480
 obviously wildly successful built that from the ground up uh and and he seems and so i trust his

354
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:58,240
 insight to say that uh there's an opportunity for us to get into that market and just because of

355
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:04,240
 where we're located and obviously he has a dog in the hunt because he has 3000 acres near but i i

356
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:10,320
 trust his his vision i mean they created it from scratch that that uh that industrial side of things

357
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,880
 that freight side of things but looking at the passenger side of things i think it from a rail

358
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:20,720
 standpoint from a why would someone from lewisville come to denton standpoint and driving people to

359
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:27,760
 denton uh and not having denton citizens have to drive to lovefield etc i think it makes a lot of

360
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:33,120
 sense and so i look forward to the study coming back and my ask is just that we we focus on what

361
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:38,640
 we can be outstanding and so there's obviously a lot of talk about drones right and so maybe if we

362
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:44,640
 specialize in that i just want us to be uh uniquely specialized in an area like the flight school's

363
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:51,600
 done well med transit's done well and if we can somehow be a hub quote unquote or a a source for

364
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:57,360
 drone as uh services as that takes off and we begin to build infrastructure around that i think

365
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,720
 that's just most important that we specialize in something outside of just convenience but but my

366
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:07,600
 other ask would be my question would be is there anything that prevents us i forget the name of the

367
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:15,840
 the freight the the the airline but it's like jst jxt it's a smaller kind of is that is there

368
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,080
 anything preventing us from reaching out to them and saying hey you can fly from here right now as

369
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:26,000
 and use them as a test case no we can reach out to whomever we want the issue would be what size

370
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,120
 airplanes do they use and will our facilities accommodate so is the airplane too big way too

371
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:39,200
 much then obviously that's a challenge but um we could we can provide service with less than 30

372
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:48,880
 seats without having our part 139 safety certification so for example um unt and some of their opponents

373
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:56,320
 have used our airport to move their sports teams not the football team because they use a an a320

374
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:01,600
 and they go out of alliance um because it's a very large airplane but some it is used currently

375
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:08,160
 today and we can help make that happen but no we can reach out to operators like that um and uh try

376
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:13,600
 to accommodate them again the the thing that we probably don't have to accommodate it immediately

377
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:19,680
 is a terminal facility that meets the demand of having that number of people at that location

378
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,160
 waiting to get on the airplane so that would be the one thing that we would have to do and most

379
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:29,200
 likely that's going to end up being on the other side of the airport right because we have the

380
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,320
 developable um developable property we have the opportunity from a clean slate to build what's

381
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:39,760
 needed um rather than trying to retrofit something that doesn't quite meet the need doesn't say we

382
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:44,720
 can't make that happen in a shorter term to allow it to happen but certainly we can we can talk to

383
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:52,480
 those folks got important just before i forget you mentioned drones typically referred to as uavs

384
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:59,920
 that is part of the master plan study to find out if we can be a player in that if you will

385
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:09,280
 charter to and from our facility maybe overdue lowfielder dfw business areas etc etc as being

386
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:14,400
 done in the dallas area and i'll just close with this i mean i think it may be a worthy

387
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:20,640
 field trip for this group to get so i went down to alliance at the service center gulf street does

388
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,920
 and so that phase one of it is there and i think it'd be a worthy field trip to just understand

389
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:31,360
 the economic impact of partnering i mean there's people by they can't build them fast enough and

390
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:37,600
 the entry level plane is 29 million dollars so a person that has 29 million dollars and a flight

391
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:45,040
 crew and a support staff on the plane has disposable income or that company does and so just the the

392
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,840
 dollars tighten again that's entry level i mean you you get up there and they're all customized

393
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:57,360
 and just kind of understanding what that brings to our community in and out as they're getting

394
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:05,520
 things done is is pretty impactful and introduces a whole different business climate to to the city

395
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,680
 of denton and then when you talk about office space it makes that conversation easier because

396
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:14,320
 they're familiar at a different level so i mean i don't know what it would take to kind of get us

397
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:20,560
 all on a bus to go down but i think it is pretty impactful and pretty impressive to see and that's

398
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,040
 just one of the makers i mean i'm sure there's a million but that just kind of is here in this

399
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:31,120
 area easy to get to and kind of gives a feel for what we could achieve if we could hit the right

400
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:40,240
 mix a gulf stream is is one of the top that's like the gold star brand out there and when they were

401
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:47,120
 looking to expand in the area we were certainly extremely interested having the developable

402
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:52,720
 property on the other side because they're a large general aviation corporate aircraft developer

403
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:59,920
 fit who we were at the time unfortunately and don't blame them of picking where they went because the

404
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:06,160
 facilities were natural for them to fit but that may be something you know if there's continued

405
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:12,320
 expansion either by them or from martier some of the other operators we were approached about

406
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:17,440
 somebody who wanted to build brand new airplanes and come to our facility but i mean they're talking

407
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:25,840
 airplanes that are probably can't fit in any other airport besides dfw and alliance at the moment

408
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,000
 because they're so big that they're going to build it we just can't handle that type of airplane we

409
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:36,000
 love to try right it's getting there it's going to be the challenges how do we how do we stack up the

410
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:42,080
 funding grant funding etc to get us those facilities to have those and it's it's one of those

411
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:48,560
 build it before they come you know because sometimes you know the airline industry is is

412
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:54,480
 reactive they they want it now and they want to show up and start service when they want to start

413
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,800
 service it's not usually the other way around where the communities hey we really want you to

414
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,200
 be here they have to have a business model that works for them to come so that's that's the

415
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:08,960
 challenge for passenger service cargo there's just lack of space in the metroplex right now

416
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:16,400
 well i think maybe a trip to the airport would be beneficial not also i don't think we have time to

417
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:22,160
 get into it today but i'd also like to talk about how creative the funding can be for all of these

418
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:30,880
 different needs development reconstruction all the above but i think that would be a nice deep dive

419
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:38,560
 as well to see what role the city plays versus the state the ffa etc we have had a reception out

420
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:45,440
 there at economic development partnership board and our investors have been out there for a reception

421
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:50,960
 which was really great we had some planes we got to look at but maybe something like that would be

422
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:58,800
 really helpful and increase awareness in the community so that if something like a bond at

423
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:04,560
 some point comes forward we can assist in being a conduit to the community as far as what is really

424
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:10,400
 happening out there and what people are saying and i think we've hosted one of your meetings

425
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:17,040
 in the past as well as well as well as that's of interest great well anything else before we let

426
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:23,440
 mr greg go back to work and uh i gotta go to the celebration we're uh we're celebrating the

427
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:32,400
 busiest year the airport so we have some food and cake so i promise to bring this taylor back

428
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:40,720
 so no wine so i won't be gone okay just okay i suppose you could bring your own but i

429
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:48,880
 well thank you so very much we really appreciate you and look forward to continuing our conversation

430
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:56,240
 great thank you all right thank you thank you so much all right um we are closing in on noon so

431
00:46:56,240 --> 00:47:03,680
 we're going to try to move past these next items of consideration as soon as possible um moving

432
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:12,800
 on to i'm is for consideration d edp 23-002 um receiver or hold a discussion and give staff

433
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:20,480
 direction regarding the meeting dates and times for the calendar year 2023 so in uh your packet

434
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:30,160
 and i believe on your tables in front of you we have two different alternate versions and one is

435
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:38,880
 a quarterly meeting calendar one is a monthly meeting calendar and uh we're having a presentation

436
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:51,600
 on that or just we're talking about it right yes it was let me get yeah well um so i mean i think

437
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:56,880
 it's it's you know fair to say that we've had some issues with core in the past year and there have

438
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:05,120
 also been instances where there's not necessarily something that we need to weigh in on um so this

439
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:12,800
 option is being presented to have a quarterly meeting set versus monthly um in my opinion i

440
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:19,120
 think it would be best to continue to be flexible so long as all of the individual members are very

441
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:25,280
 good about responding to uh whether or not they're going to be present so that if we know there's not

442
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:31,760
 going to be a quorum we can cancel ahead of time so that no one wastes time additionally if there's

443
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:38,320
 nothing new to be voted on to be discussed and presented to council uh that we are just flexible

444
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:44,720
 but you know my initial thought is that having these monthly meetings on hold for us will be

445
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:51,360
 easier to get everyone together in case in between those quarterly meetings we do have something that

446
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:58,160
 comes up that we need that we want to weigh in on before it goes to council and um that we have that

447
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:03,840
 time that's set aside and we let everyone know as far in advance as possible whether those are going

448
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:11,440
 to be needed uh but um wayne i don't know if you have further thoughts on the choice of calendars

449
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:18,640
 going from quarterly to monthly and then after mr emerson we can open up the conversation to everyone

450
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:24,800
 go ahead i would only say that we can always if we have a quarterly schedule we can always have

451
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:31,920
 a special call meeting and we could hold those special call meetings on these dates i mean it's

452
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,240
 always an option to do a special call meeting so that would be the only other thing i would

453
00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:43,360
 add to the conversation um erin do you have any thoughts or where's is dan here do you have any

454
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:51,040
 um i think for sake of calendaring it's easier to maintain a holding on the calendar just because i

455
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:55,840
 know that we have so many different calendars and different professions in this room so

456
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:01,680
 i think it would be easier to hold the dates and then cancel if one is not available or there's no

457
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:10,160
 updates so let's open it up for a discussion i mean there's no right or wrong answer um i don't know

458
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:19,200
 how to turn that off apologize for the son of a gun dingy angel is getting in between so someone's

459
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:26,640
 opening a bottle at one um you know what i'm just gonna i'm just gonna slow it yes so i would just

460
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:32,800
 my comment would be what would work best for staff and from an organizational from a meeting

461
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:39,200
 perspective if it works better for for you guys for for them to have a monthly set meeting and

462
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:48,560
 then we adjust uh cancel or reschedule for the next month then uh i mean i in my opinion we try

463
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:54,800
 to make it easy as possible for this body to respond you know when we have to we need to all right

464
00:50:54,800 --> 00:51:04,080
 i would say what makes it easy for staff is what makes it easy for the board because for us it just

465
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:11,360
 takes staff time preparing to have a board meeting and so we're we're more than happy we're here to

466
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:16,720
 serve at the pleasure of the board so what makes it easy for y'all is actually what makes it easiest

467
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:23,760
 for us that's the best way to answer that no i would say monthly go ahead yeah i'd just say

468
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:29,360
 monthly and then to your point if we're open and honest about if we can make or not make that that

469
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:36,960
 kind of then you can count noses early and let everyone know we're not meeting but i do want to

470
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:44,160
 stress that this only works if we are all being we're all good about communicating if we are not

471
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:51,920
 going to be able to make it if we have a conflict and we will also i think work together to also

472
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:56,320
 make sure that we're not having a meeting if a meeting is not needed right i mean everyone's got

473
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:06,160
 other things they uh have as priority as as well um however i i think there is a lot out there to

474
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:17,200
 talk about discuss learn about and advocate for uh that uh that we have not had the opportunity

475
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:25,040
 to touch on just yet so um anyways but those are my thoughts but yes i think to your point

476
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:32,240
 is maybe establishing some norms about what when do we decide we want to cancel when when do we

477
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:38,720
 want to decide someone's if we don't have rsvps are we we have that form so that we avoid situations

478
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:44,880
 like last time where you guys are all very busy professionals we show up and then we don't have

479
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:50,560
 a meeting so i think maybe we could establish norms about when do we decide we want to call it

480
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:57,440
 that would be beneficial to staff as well is there anything in our charter that requires

481
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:05,920
 in-person attendance is there an option of having especially i know we've had to do that several

482
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:14,400
 times in the last couple of years of offering to arrive at forum webex or zoom option as well

483
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:21,120
 not that i'm aware of i'm not aware of any specific in-person requirement versus

484
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:30,000
 we are not having um the web or virtual meetings any longer we do need to meet in person and we do

485
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:36,720
 need to have a forum which is one more than half of the appointed board members so that is the stated

486
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:41,280
 requirement and that's just all boards across the yeah it's an open

487
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:51,280
 state requirement that we have to have let's um let's go to the capital yes yeah we have a physical

488
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:59,440
 in-person quorum um there's also a little bit of a technical limitation with where we meet because

489
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:05,600
 when we're broadcasting they have to do a very different setup it looks the same to folks watching

490
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:10,720
 from home but it's technically a very different setup to getting them meeting out and how they

491
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:16,400
 report it because you're accommodating sometimes you see a presentation sometimes you see a split

492
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:23,600
 screen of the room and the guy on zoom or 300 people on zoom whatever it is it's technically

493
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:30,160
 very difficult i don't know if they could accommodate here probably accommodate another location

494
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:39,120
 but similarly that would be if we decided to do in a meeting at the airport that broadcast

495
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:45,360
 would have to be considered how we can make that happen there or any other remote location i don't

496
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:52,160
 think we can live stream from say the airport or the dist building when the city council meets with

497
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:57,600
 dist there or something like that that's all recorded and then broadcast later which is an option

498
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:04,320
 but uh i just i don't think that's necessarily just positive i'm just put it out there there's

499
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:09,360
 also a technical limitation it just adds an additional consideration not not impossible

500
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:15,920
 it's a different consideration um i like holding just for my own schedule i like holding the

501
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:22,720
 the the date so i know so it's on the calendar and if it cancels goodie i get to be at my desk that

502
00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:32,320
 hour um you really said it it just just means another meeting takes place another another

503
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,880
 something another demanding place um but we do that it's been pretty successful some other city

504
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:42,080
 origin commissions i think that they may not need to meet every month but they have a calendar and

505
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:50,000
 that helps get born there and then um it may be it may be helpful if we get down to there's an

506
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,600
 agenda we have enough for a meeting there's enough meat on the bone to have the meeting but we're not

507
00:55:55,600 --> 00:56:00,640
 hearing back from folks um i don't know what the current kind of staff protocol is for reaching out

508
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:05,200
 but i'll work with funtree you know if there's some trouble getting a hold of somebody i'll

509
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:09,680
 i'll help get people calls and make sure they're going to be there and you're not going to forget

510
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:14,560
 as soon as you RSVP that kind of thing because it's time out of our day too we should open up one

511
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:22,400
 agree yes i just offer one other suggestion not too many the water but other boards i sit on and

512
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:28,640
 boards that i manage tend to take off july and december so in the region i've noticed a lot of

513
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:34,800
 like 10 month boards or add one more challenge but if you know if we don't need if there's if

514
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:39,600
 those are heavy travel months realize i work in academia not everybody does but it still

515
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:46,160
 tends to be true and so just one other thought that's a good thought and also just as we plan

516
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:50,400
 out the next year and what we're going to cover and you know sometimes we're not in control of

517
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:56,480
 what's coming up for votes um as far as incentives and that's you know a big part of what we do but

518
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:02,720
 um i think that's very fair to say here are two months that are good to try not to stack up and

519
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:07,200
 if they're going to be two that follow off these good months so all that information is helpful

520
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:15,200
 additionally um i would encourage you to email me um and i will disseminate or if you have anything

521
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:20,720
 that you would like to hear more about or discussions that you would like to have um

522
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:26,720
 there's a lot going on a lot out there the reports that we get each time are so very

523
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:35,840
 insightful as far as the standard board and what's going on uh so there's there's there's plenty but

524
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:42,480
 feel free to help us bring something to the top of the list if needed and um i thought these

525
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:47,440
 introductions were going to be done for but we have a couple of new people that are here today

00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:56,720
 i'm katilda and i'm the new specialist with the economic development team with the city

537
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:02,960
 great we're glad to have you here and look forward to working with you we also have one

538
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:10,880
 yeah yes i'm lacy brother i am what's my name administrative assistant i am kind of the stuff

539
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:18,160
 one of the staff members for y'all um i grew up in sanger i just recently moved back to the area

540
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:23,280
 and i've been here for about a month now and i'm really enjoying it thank you and she's the one

541
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:32,160
 who's been emailing you so you'll get your your calendar invitations from lacy meeting agendas

542
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:37,200

543
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:43,680
 for us great well thank you we certainly appreciate it all right um so i i think the

544
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:50,000
 consensus is we're going to keep the holds for monthly but we're all going to uh be very good

545
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:56,000
 about communicating when we're unable to attend and we're also going to be good about determining

546
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,080
 whether or not there's enough meat on the bone as you would say to have a meeting and use everyone's

547
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:06,400
 time wisely is there any direction to what we would consider meat on the bone for staff or

548
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:11,760
 make staff determine that i'm curious well certainly if there's an incentive that's going

549
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:22,160
 to be presented to council or if there are any changes to the funding or direction that is given

550
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:28,000
 the any reports that are going to be given to council we would like to also be a part of

551
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:37,840
 your those um and then uh any speakers you know any outside speakers that are here uh to present

552
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:44,240
 we definitely want to make sure that we've got a forum here for that um and i think the rest of

553
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:54,560
 that is pvd is that helpful yes okay okay great all right um so we are moving to um eat can we take

 she's a co-owner of panhandle recording house it's just about a block over they've been in

572
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:15,280
 downtown business and property owner for 25 years and they've expressed some interest in being more

573
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:21,040
 involved in the community they're also um have joined the den masonry association and jill's

574
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:27,280
 actually sat in on a few of the downtown economic development committee meetings just to get a better

575
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:32,720
 feel for the committee and she feels like it'd be a great place for her to to get involved and and

576
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:39,680
 be part of the community so that if you have any questions i'm happy to to go through any of the

577
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:47,120
 the renomination three appointments or provide additional information uh thank you i'd like to

578
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:53,760
 ask councilmember davis's our representative there um if you're familiar with this potential new

579
01:03:53,760 --> 01:04:00,960
 appointee and feel she would be a constructive member of the uh group i do i do and the really

580
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:06,640
 cool thing about this group is that um it was it was new to me when uh y'all appointed me to it

581
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:13,040
 and then there's some weird goals where i basically have to be the chair um which is fine i guess um

582
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:19,280
 but getting to know the group it still has that kind of task force feel which is which is neat

583
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:23,760
 and it's a round table kind of different kinds of folks and i think she's gonna be a really addition

584
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:28,800
 good addition to that kind of round table feel um you've got bankers you got guys that sell ice

585
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:33,360
 cream you got all sorts of different people um in the room and it's really a good dynamic so

586
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:38,080
 i think she'll be a good addition thank you and any other comments on the reappointments

587
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:44,640
 i'm very happy with everybody's every service they're um only only changing one person that's

588
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:50,000
 somebody who is pretty clear that they needed to move on and do other things so um nothing it's

589
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:58,800
 a good group all right any questions or discussion yes looking for a representative from unt

590
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:08,160
 we have um we on this board we have um we do have the justice williams university

591
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:15,200
 we have not had anyone from ut and we did for some time which was hank so and then he kind of

592
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:22,640
 switched positions there um we do have that as one of our um potential you know positions to

593
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:27,280
 be filled so that would be up to the economic development partnership board if you would like

594
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:34,640
 to open it up and add another member i believed that we are at max it's nine to thirteen in the

595
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:44,720
 durable um excuse me members so we have six we're right at our max right now at 13 um to add

596
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:51,200
 another membership member or not to appoint jill is addition you know that would be up to you also

597
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:57,440
 make that determination i was in no way promoting that i'm just asking because i didn't know what

598
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:03,600
 there was a if you needed help identifying someone appropriate from unity here at max and are happy

599
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:11,440
 please don't don't hear that i'm pushing that in any way i will mention that there are some

600
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:16,960
 folks on the board obviously that that can tw but there's some folks on the board that have

601
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:22,160
 connections obviously when when hank was a unt employee that was a really straightforward

602
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:28,080
 connection but lots of folks on the board that have unt connections and uh have people's phone

603
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:33,680
 numbers i totally agree i just wanted to make sure we were doing our part so yeah and jill

604
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:45,200
 herps is a unt proud of unt alumni i do know i think hank still is partial to unt well but it

605
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:50,960
 you know again it is one of the areas that is targeted um to consider and i think that in the

606
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:57,760
 future it'd be nice to find a way to have that input uh but it sounds like the group right now

607
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:05,200
 is successful um but i think in the future let's definitely try to find a way and we do have five

608
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:12,080
 members that are they're on their final term so at the end of this this two-year session that would

609
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:18,480
 be a great time to you know look at the diversity on the board all right well at this time is there

610
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:24,240

 thank you very much all right thank you appreciate the presentation and all the information all right

615
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:58,480
 well at this point we are to f which are the staff reports um i do want to hear about the airport

616
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:05,280
 consensus updates and then we might uh fill in those last couple of items at our next

617
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:11,280
 meeting as we are running a little late thank you eric is Sullivan on the economic development

618
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:16,800
 program administrator here at the city we received the staff received a request for information on

619
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,960
 denton the city of dentons incentives as well as mckinney's incentives so i'm going to briefly go

620
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:27,520
 over the two programs so the city of denton we adopted our incentive program in 2015

621
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:32,800
 this board actually was included in the policies that you approved in may or were approved by

622
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:40,000
 council in may and the basic considerations over the dent policy is expanding the tax base one

623
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:47,120
 then another idea is to the job growth spurring the job growth of the development of course fuel

624
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:53,280
 sales and consumption so those are the the three considerations and then the minimum valuation for

625
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:58,880
 the program is one million in aircraft valuation and that can be combined in order to be eligible

626
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:05,200
 and then your backup you saw there was a short table that basically provides that the base

627
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:13,040
 operator can get up to 25 and then the owner can get up to 25 and then the operator and or operator

628
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:18,000
 because it could be the same entity um can get an additional five percent and that increases based on

629
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:24,880
 valuation from a period of two to ten years so that is the dentons policy and then the city of

630
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:29,840
 mckinney and mckinney's economic development corporation they also have airport related

631
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:37,120
 programs their considerations involve the business personal property valuation of the aircraft itself

632
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:42,400
 they involve jobs the business the real property valuation of improvements so that would be a

633
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:48,640
 hangar or some type of office building or complex that would be at the airport and then finally they

634
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:53,840
 look at sustainability so those are the at the considerations they look at and the things that

635
01:09:53,840 --> 01:10:01,920
 are eligible under their program are infrastructure relocation and training i'd be happy to entertain

636
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:06,640
 questions business personal property was the big one on mckinney yeah that was the first one

637
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,720
 yeah it was business personal property and then and they have jobs they listed them separately

638
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:14,320
 and then their real personal property and that was the example i gave the hangar or the office

639
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:22,000
 building and then they look at sustainable activities as well all of those emphasis sounds

640
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:28,880
 good it seems that maybe should be included in dentons as well next time it comes it's in our

641
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:35,360
 policy to be approved in or the council approved in may i would make okay well thank you for the

642
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:42,160
 update and anything else before we adjourn we all get back to work or wherever we need to be

643
