YEAH, AND WHEN WHEN STEVE WAS THE MANAGER. YEAH, YEAH. WITH PEYTON, WE DIDN'T START BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD OUR TECHNOLOGY SQUARED AWAY. WE LIVE IN. OKAY, SO WE ARE IN SESSION. WE HAVE A QUORUM. DENNIS ROTTLER IS NOT WITH US.

          [3. ADOPTION OF MINUTES]

          [4. HEAR REMARKS FROM VISITORS]
SORRY. ITEM FOUR HEAR REMARKS FROM VISITORS. ONE OF THE VISITORS THAT WE HAVE TODAY WITH US IS PETER WINDHAM. DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? PETER, WOULD YOU COME AND IDENTIFY YOURSELF? AND WITHIN ABOUT A THREE MINUTE PERIOD OF TIME, TELL US WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE? GOOD EVENING. PETER WENHAM, DIRECTOR OF EAST TEXAS FLYING SERVICE OUT OF MINEOLA, ALSO HAVE VARIOUS OTHER AVIATION INTERESTS. SO MEDICAL COMPANIES AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS. SO REASON THAT WE'RE HERE IS FIRST YOU NEED TO GIVE CHRIS A PAY RISE. HE'S AMAZING. HE APPROACHED US BECAUSE OF OUR FACILITY AT MINEOLA AND ASKED US TO COME OVER AND TAKE THE G1 HANGAR, AND SO THAT WE COULD PROVIDE SERVICES ON THE FIELD. AND TERRELL, HE HAS MADE IT PAINLESS, UNLIKE EVERY OTHER OPERATION WE'VE DONE. HE'S GONE OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE IT WORK, MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE. SO HE DEFINITELY IS WANTING TO KEEP THEIR. KYLE'S BEEN GREAT AS WELL. IN REALITY, WHAT WE'RE AIMING TO DO THERE TO START WITH IS REALLY JUST PUT A PRESENCE THERE BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A HANGAR BIG ENOUGH FOR WHAT WE DO, SO WE'RE TRYING TO SHOEHORN IN A PRESENCE AT THE MOMENT SO THAT WE CAN HELP THE PEOPLE ON THE FIELD LONGER TERM, IF IT PROVES OUT THE WAY WE EXPECT, WE WILL BUILD THERE MORE OF OUR CLIENTS AND OUR CLIENT BASE AT THE MOMENT ARE FROM TERRELL AND THEY ARE FROM MINEOLA. SO WE GET THEM FROM GRAHAM, HOW WE GET THEM FROM MEXICO. SO WE'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD SERVICE THERE. WE ARE ALSO A HELICOPTER SERVICE CENTER AS WELL. SO ROBINSON AND ENSTROM. SO WE DO A LOT OF WORK IN THAT SPACE. WE DO PILOT TRAINING AS WELL. SO WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF INSTRUCTORS THERE. JUST A FEW 
          [00:05:02]
MINUTES AGO. THE THING THAT'S EXCITING FOR TERRELL THAT COULD BE FUN IS SITTING IN A CONTAINER RIGHT NOW, LANDING IN HOUSTON NEXT WEEK. WE HAVE A GROB 115 D2, WHICH IS A BRITISH MILITARY AEROBATIC TRAINER USED FOR UPSET RECOVERY. IT WILL BE BASED AT TERRELL FOR ALL OUR UPSET RECOVERY TRAINING. SO IT TIES IN WITH THE HERITAGE OF THE AIRPORT REALLY NICELY. SO WE'VE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO THE FAA AS WELL TO SEE IF THEY'D BE WILLING TO WRITE AN EXEMPTION FOR US TO PROVIDE PUBLIC AEROBATIC RIDES AS WELL, JUST SINCE IT TIES IN SO NICELY WITH THE AREA. SO WE'LL WAIT AND SEE ON THAT ONE. BUT THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE TRAINING FOR UPSET RECOVERY AND THE LIKE BASED OUT THERE ON THAT. WE ALSO RUN A DEMAND FOR SPIN TRAINING. AND SO WE'RE NOT YOUR AVERAGE TRAINING FACILITY WHERE ALL WE DO IS TEACH YOU TO FLY IN THE PATH. PART OF OUR WHOLE PHILOSOPHY, THERE IS ANYONE CAN TEACH SOMEONE TO FLY A PLANE IN NORMAL CONDITIONS. WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THINGS GO WRONG. SO THAT'S WHAT WE TRAIN FOR IN THE WAY WE OPERATE. THAT PART. OUR. I USED TO WORK AT L-3 SO HE'S AMAZING. HE CAN KNOCK OUT NEARLY ANYTHING WE'VE GOT THERE. WE DO AVIONICS, SO WE'RE NOT JUST A PLACE THAT DOES A BASIC ANNUAL. WE'LL DO AVIONICS INSTALLS, WE'LL DO AIRFRAME, WE DO FULL POWERPLANT OVERHAUL. WE'LL DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. EVERY YEAR WE DO MODIFICATIONS AS WELL. SO ANY SHEET METAL MODS, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO PUT STOL KITS OR ANYTHING EXCITING ON THEIR PLANE, WE DO IT. SO WE DO HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THE CLIENTS AT THE FIELD THAT WE'LL BE EXCITED TO SEE YOU IN OPERATION SOON. I THINK I TOLD YOU THAT WE'LL PERHAPS, MAYBE WE CAN GET YOU ON THE AGENDA SO YOU CAN GIVE US A WHENEVER YOU'RE READY TO GIVE US A MORE COMPLETE PRESENTATION. AND PETER'S NOT FROM AROUND HERE, IN CASE YOU CAN'T TELL. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER VISITORS THAT WOULD CARE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION? PETER? THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. 
          [5. DISCUSSION ITEMS]
SO NEXT WE HAVE DISCUSSION ITEMS. NEXT ITEM IS WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM APEX ARROW, OUR OWN KYLE DECOSTER. GOOD EVENING. SO I'D JUST LIKE TO GIVE A BRIEF UPDATE ON AIRPORT ACTIVITY, FUEL SALES AND SOME MORE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES WE'VE TAKEN. SO AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE ON THE GRAPHS, THIS IS FOR THE MONTH OF MAY. WE'VE HAD ABOUT 7070 OPERATIONS, 239 OF THOSE PISTON 178 OR TURBINE. I BELIEVE THIS KIND OF SHOWS A POSITIVE SIGN CONSIDERING THE RUNWAY REOPENED EARLIER IN THAT MONTH OF MAY. AND THEN OF COURSE, SUMMER ACTIVITY, IT'S EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. FOR FUEL SALES. WE SOLD ABOUT 8100 GALLONS IN THE MONTH OF MAY. WE'RE STARTING TO SEE MORE OF A SLOW RECOVERY FROM THE RUNWAY BEING SHUT DOWN. WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THOSE PREVIOUS FOLKS START TO MIGRATE BACK TO THE AIRPORT, WHICH IS GOOD. SO FOR LONG TERM, OUR ROLLING 12 MONTH FUEL VOLUME REMAINS APPROXIMATELY 115,000 GALLONS. THE FOCUS STILL REMAINS ON GROWING THE TRANSIENT TRAFFIC AND ATTRACTING NEW OPERATORS TO THE AIRFIELD. I WANTED TO GO OVER BRIEFLY ABOUT FIFA SINCE WE ARE IN THAT TO DATE, WE REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN ACTIVITY DUE TO THE WORLD CUP MATCHES, AND THIS APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH NOT JUST US, BUT WITH MANY AIRPORTS ACROSS THE DFW AREA. EVEN THE EVEN THE THE DESIGNATED OVERFLOW AIRPORTS, THEY'RE NOT SEEING ANYTHING ELSE. NO, NO. YEAH. I JUST VISITED ADDISON NOT TOO LONG AGO DURING A WORLD CUP MATCH, AND THEY WEREN'T NEAR AS BUSY. SURPRISING. YEAH. SO EACH DAY WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING THERE IS A PARKING CAPACITY MAP THAT I HAVE TO UPDATE BEFORE 9 A.M. 
          EVERY DAY, AND IT STAYED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FOR EVERY AIRPORT. YOU SEE THE OTHER AIRPORTS REPORTS. YEAH, YEAH. BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO THOSE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS AND SEMI SEMIFINAL MATCHES. THERE MAY BE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY 
          [00:10:07]
FOR AN UPTICK OF VISITORS WANTING TO COME IN TO SEE THOSE SPECIFIC MATCHES. I DON'T I DON'T FOLLOW SOCCER VERY WELL, BUT ARE THERE ANY TEAMS FROM MEXICO PLAYING IN DALLAS? I WOULD THINK THAT MIGHT BRING SOME TRAFFIC. YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT. YEAH WE HAVE I KNOW THERE'S LIKE TWO ARGENTINA MATCHES. MEXICO. I DON'T I DON'T BELIEVE SO YEAH. TO BE WRONG. BUT. BUT YEAH THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR FIFA AS FAR AS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. SO I'VE RECENTLY STARTED A NEW STRATEGY UTILIZING LINKEDIN, THE PREMIUM VERSION FOR BUSINESS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. AND SO WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING ON THERE IS REACHING OUT TO EXCLUSIVE SMALL CHARTER COMPANIES AND THEN GOING ON THERE AND FINDING THE INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE LIKE DISPATCHERS, CHIEF PILOTS AND STUFF AND CONNECTING WITH THEM MORE ON A GROUND LEVEL AND JUST KIND OF INQUIRING ABOUT THEIR OPERATIONS, GETTING TO KNOW THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO FAR, THE STRATEGY IS ACTUALLY PANNING OFF FROM IT. WE'VE ACTUALLY HAVE INVITED TO SMALL OPERATORS THAT BROUGHT IN TO CITATION TENS AND A CHALLENGER 300. AND SO IT WAS REALLY COOL TO SEE THAT KIND OF PAN OFF. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE DO OUR FOLLOW UP OF MAKING SURE THEIR VISIT WAS GOOD. HEARING ANY REMARKS OR ANYTHING FROM THEM, SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER. BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT WAS ALL POSITIVE. SO GOOD. IT'S AN EXTRA STRATEGY THAT WILL CONTINUE TO USE AND TRY TO RAMP UP OUR TRANSIENT ACTIVITIES. SO. SO YEAH, WE'RE EXCITED FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE ITEMS. JUST ANY QUESTIONS. WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? WELL YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE OTHER THINGS TOO, RIGHT? YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ELECTRICAL UPDATE FUEL FARM OR NO. OR YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THAT STUFF. NO. OKAY. 
          WE'LL HAVE WE'LL HAVE A, MAYBE A I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. TALK TO CHRIS THE OTHER DAY, BUT THE, THE PLANES THAT YOU MENTIONED, THE CITATION THAT THOSE PLANES THAT CAME HERE WERE, WHERE WERE THEY COMING? WHERE WERE THEY GOING BEFORE? DO YOU KNOW? SO ONE COMPANY IS BASED OUT OF FLORIDA, AND THESE PEOPLE PREDOMINANTLY FLY IN TO MESQUITE. AND WE TARGETED HOUSTON AS WELL, KIND OF LIKE THOSE THOSE TRAVEL VACATION DESTINATION ROUTES IS WHAT I'VE KIND OF. AND THESE ARE CHARTERS, RIGHT? RIGHT. YEAH. YEAH. YEP. JUST SMALL. 
          WHEN I SAY SMALL CHARTER COMPANIES, I MEAN, THEY JUST HAVE LIKE A SMALL FLEET LIKE MAX 4 OR 5 PLANES IN THEIR FLEET. AND SO YEAH, MAINLY MESQUITE AND HOUSTON IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN TARGETING JUST COMING THROUGH. WE, WE KIND OF TRACKED THEIR ROUTES AND SEE IF TARA WOULD MAKE SENSE. AND I DO A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH BEFORE I INITIALLY REACH OUT. RIGHT. 
          SO ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I LOVE YOUR IDEA ABOUT I DON'T I DON'T THINK WE EVER THERE'S EVER BEEN A LOT OF OUTREACH LIKE THAT. LIKE YOU'RE DOING, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, SOLICITING PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE, I MEAN, THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT US PROBABLY. RIGHT. YEAH. AND THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I'VE CAME ACROSS IS IT'S MORE OF JUST AN AWARENESS THING. YEAH. NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE THINK OF TARA, LET ALONE LET A, LET A KNOW THAT IT EXISTS. SURE. SO YEAH. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE GOAL THERE JUST TO BROADCAST US IN A WAY WHERE IT SHINES A LIGHT ON TARA AND LIKE, HEY, YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY DO YOUR OPERATIONS OUT OF HERE. EXCELLENT. OKAY. WELL THANK YOU. I ALL I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT MY CONVERSATIONS WITH CHRIS, CHRIS IS AT A CONFERENCE. AND SO THAT'S WHY HE WASN'T HERE. SO HE, WE GOT TOGETHER, I DON'T KNOW, MONDAY, I THINK TO JUST SORT OF GO OVER THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT. I DO KNOW THAT THE ELECTRICAL STUFF IS ALL UP AND RUNNING. THEY'VE HAD TO DO SOME. 
          THE NORTH, IT'S THE NORTH, PAPI THAT IS NOT IN PLACE YET. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. YEAH. THE NORTH PART IS NOT. THERE'S SOME SUPPLY ISSUE OR SOMETHING. STILL WAITING ON THE STUFF TO COME. CORRECT. ACTUALLY, IT'S IT'S THE SOUTH PAPI'S SOUTH PAPI'S OKAY. THREE, SIX. PAPI'S 
          [00:15:05]
STILL WAITING ON ENCORE. YEAH. WELL, AND HE SAID THAT THERE WERE THAT THE ELECTRICAL THING IS NOT TOTALLY. EVERYTHING IS WORKING, BUT THE THE CONNECTIONS AND ALL THAT ARE NOT REALLY RIGHT. THEY STILL GOT FINISHED BECAUSE THEY'RE WAITING ON ENCORE TO DO THEIR WORK. RIGHT? EXACTLY. IN THE FUEL FARM UPDATE, I SEE HE SAID THEY GOT I SAW TODAY THEY HAVE SILT FENCES UP AND A BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT OUT THERE. AND I, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, I THINK HE TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL TANKS ARE EXPECTED TO BE DELIVERED IN AUGUST. YEAH, YEAH. SO I JUST I'VE SAT IN ON THE MEETING THIS MORNING AND THEY DID SAY THE TANKS STILL EXPECTED IN AUGUST. 
          THEY'VE STARTED SAW CUTTING THE CURBS. THE CONCRETE. YEAH. WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THE DRIVEWAY IN. YEAH. THEY'RE GOING TO START WITH THAT THE DRIVEWAY FIRST. SO THAT'LL BE COMING SOON. NOTHING THEY'RE DOING IS GOING TO AFFECT ANY. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO AFFECT ANY OF US THAT ARE FLYING. RIGHT. NO SIR. YEAH. IT'LL ALL BE OFF TO THE SIDE. ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. AND THE NEXT ONE I THINK IS IT MAY BE YOURS OR SOMETHING, SOMETHING THAT HE WANTED THAT CHRIS SUGGESTED THAT WE START REALLY TALKING ABOUT OR GETTING. 
          AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY PART OF OUR JOB AS A AIRPORT BOARD. AND THAT IS WE NEED TO START. 
          COMING UP WITH CAPITAL ITEMS BECAUSE THE TIME HORIZON, IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING IN THE TXDOT AVIATION PLAN, IF YOU SAY, OH, WE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO EXTEND THIS TAXIWAY OR WE NEED TO DO WHATEVER THE CAPITAL PROJECT IS, YOU NEED TO HAVE IT IN THE MIX A LONG TIME. YOU NEED TO GET YOUR NAME IN THE HAT. IF YOU WAIT TILL YOU KNOW, THE YEAR BEFORE, OH, WE NEED A NEW, WE NEED A NEW CAPITAL PROJECT NEXT YEAR. WELL, THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS. A LOT OF DEMAND, A LOT OF DEMAND. IT'S ABOUT A FIVE YEAR HORIZON. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE AND I TALKED ABOUT BASED ON, THERE'S NO MAGIC NUMBER ON OPERATIONS FOR A REQUIRE OR CALL FOR A TOWER. I HAVE, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I KIND OF LIKE WE DON'T HAVE A TOWER, BUT I, I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT THE OTHER DAY AND I THINK, I THINK WE SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES BECAUSE THERE WAS JUST ONE PLANE LANDING AFTER ANOTHER. I DON'T KNOW IF A TOWER WOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE ROUTED THEM A LITTLE FURTHER DOWNWIND OR SOMETHING TO GET ME OUT OF THERE. BUT. A TOWER IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WE CAN PUT IT IN THE WE CAN ASK THAT IT BE PUT IN THE PLAN. AND IF IF WE DON'T HAVE IF THE FUNDING IS NOT AVAILABLE OR WE'RE NOT READY FOR IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO DO IT. BUT IF IT'S IN THE PLAN, RIGHT. YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN ANY OF US PROBABLY. YEAH, YOU PUT IT IN THE PLAN. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S KIND OF A LONG RANGE DEAL BECAUSE IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE FAA. YEAH. 
          ANYBODY ELSE DO? I NOTICED THE OTHER DAY I WENT OUT AND TOOK A LITTLE TOWEL, GOT A LOT OF. 
          PROBLEMS WITH TAXI DRIVERS OUT THERE THAT REALLY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. I NOTICED YOU A LOT OF TIMES OF SOME PLACES HAVE A STRONG TOWER. WE GOT A KIND OF A THEORY BEHIND THEIR PICKUP AND PICKS ALL THE BLUE STUFF UP ON THE RUNWAY AND SPRAY CROPS. YEAH, THE JETS MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE'D WANT TO LOOK AT, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT. NO, BUT IT'S STILL RELEVANT. ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, I THINK I NOTICED I DON'T BELIEVE WE'VE GOT THE TAXIWAY MOVED OVER. AND THAT ONE WE REALLY OUGHT TO GET DONE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT IN COMPLIANCE. ONE OF THE TAXIWAYS MOVED WAS MOVED SEVERAL YEARS AGO TO ACCOMMODATE WIDER. RIGHT, ANDY? YES. IS IT ALL THE WAY? YES. USED TO NOT ALIGN WITH THE EXTENSION. THE EXTENSION WAS DONE AT THE PROPER DISTANCE AND THE OLD TAXIWAY WAS NOT. AND THERE WAS A THERE WAS A OFFSET, A DOGLEG. RIGHT. BUT THEY'VE SINCE MOVED THE OLD TAXIWAY TO WHERE IT ALIGNS WITH. AND I THINK THE REASON THAT'S A NATIONWIDE THING, BECAUSE OF THE INCREASING WINGSPANS OF SOME OF THE PLANES THAT WE WEREN'T, OUR TAXI WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE RUNWAY. YEAH. BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY, WHEN WE EXTENDED THE RUNWAY, AND THAT WAS BACK IN 83 AND 84, WE HAD THE NEW TAXIWAY OVER TO THE RIGHT DISTRICT. THE OLD TAXI WASN'T. IT'S MOVED. IT'S MOVED OVER NOW. IT HAS A LITTLE JOG. THEY KIND OF SHOT AND MISSED. BUT IT IS IT'S ALL ALIGNED NOW. 
          [00:20:03]
YEAH. OKAY. AND IT'S PROPER DISTANCE FROM THE CENTER LINE, I THINK SO. HOW ABOUT HOW DID YOU READ RUNWAY? I ASKED THAT HE SAID, WHAT'S. SO THE QUESTION IS WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT THE RUNWAY CONDITION? HE SAID, THEY'RE GOING TO THAT THERE'S SOME CRACK CEILING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT HE SAID THAT THE SURFACE ON THE RUNWAY PROBABLY HAS ANOTHER 5 TO 7 YEARS LIFE. THE WAY THAT WORKS IS THAT I GOT A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM HIM. I JUST REALIZED ON MONDAY, HE SAID, THE WAY THAT WORKS IS THAT TAKES OUT AVIATION, SENDS AROUND INSPECTION TEAMS ON A REGULAR BASIS TO UPDATE AND TO CODIFY WHAT THE CONDITIONS AND WHEN THAT NEEDS TO BE SCHEDULED. SO THAT'S KIND OF I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD PUT IN OUR CAPITAL PLAN. I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THEY ROUTINELY DO. HE DID TELL ME THAT WE'RE GETTING READY TO RESTRIPE THE RUNWAYS. GETTING IS UP IS COMING UP TO BE RESTRIPED AGAIN. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT FUNDS ARE BEING USED FOR THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TEX DOT AVIATION PAYING FOR THAT, OR THERE'S PROBABLY MAYBE A 9010 THING OR SOMETHING. BUT YEAH, FOR UNDER 100,000, ALL WE COULD DO IT UNDER OUR RENT RAMP FUNDS. RIGHT? BUT ANYTHING OVER THAT WHERE YOU WANT TO USE YOUR CAPITAL, RIGHT? SO. CERTAINLY THERE'S TAXIWAY. I KNOW THERE'S PROBLEMS WITH THE TAXIWAYS JUST GOING TO, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE DID RECENTLY, CUT THAT ONE SECTION OUT, BUT THAT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE. SO THOSE ARE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE NEED TO GET IN THE PARTICULARLY THE FLYING PUBLIC. 
          YEAH. BROUGHT A POINT UP THERE TODAY. I THINK MAYBE CHRIS AND HIM HAD TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO MAYBE DO THIS ALL IN CONCRETE, LIKE WHAT'S OUT THERE. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE DONE IN CONCRETE, WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE IN A PROBLEM. YEAH. AND PARTICULARLY IN OUR SOIL CONDITIONS. RIGHT. SO AND YOU KNOW, TERRY, YOU'RE THE TECH GUY, T WIZARD AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING. I WOULD THINK THAT SOME CAPITAL PLANNING THINGS MIGHT EVEN INCLUDE STUFF, YOU KNOW, ABOUT. ACCESSIBILITY AND ALL THAT STUFF. SO. WE DON'T HAVE ANY ACTION ITEMS. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ON DISCUSSION? OKAY. ITEMS FOR FUTURE MEETINGS. I WOULD SAY 
          [7. ITEMS FOR FUTURE MEETINGS]
PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON ABOUT AND I'M I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO DIS YOU NON-PILOT PEOPLE, BUT THE PILOT PEOPLE IN THIS NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT NEXT TIME YOU NOTICE A BAD SPOT THAT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED OR SOMETHING, WE NEED TO WORK ON THAT. OKAY, WE HAVE OUR NEXT 
          [8. SET NEXT MEETING DATE]
MEETING DATE SCHEDULED FOR JULY 8TH. HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOME JETS OR SOMETHING WHENEVER THE SOCCER THING GOES ALONG AND KYLE AND THEM CAN SELL SOME MORE FUEL, BUT WE'LL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT. ANY ANY OTHER ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION IS IS FIFA A NON. ITEM. IS A ANTI-CLIMATIC. 
          DIDN'T DIDN'T TURN OUT THE WAY WE EXPECTED. WE DID. WE DIDN'T REALLY EXPECT TRAFFIC DID WE KYLE. I THINK IT WAS MORE SO THAT THEY'RE GOING TO. DO. YOU AND CHRIS HAD TO GO TO SOME MEETINGS, SOME AREA WIDE REGIONAL MEETINGS OR WHATEVER TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE YOU HAD TO CREATE THAT PARKING PLAN AND ALL THAT STUFF. BUT WE WERE PREPARING FOR THE WORST OR THE BEST OF THE BEST. YEAH. YEAH. WELL, IT GOES ON TO THE MIDDLE OF JULY, I THINK. SO WOULD THERE BE SOME PILOTS THAT WOULD BE AVOIDING THE AREA RIGHT NOW? SO I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE GUY YESTERDAY. ACTUALLY. WE HAD AN EVENT AT THE BFTS MUSEUM YESTERDAY, AND THIS GUY WAS DESCRIBING TO ME, IN ORDER TO, IN ORDER TO GO INTO ONE OF THE AIRPORTS, THAT'S, THAT IS CONSIDERED A, AN ACTIVE AIRPORT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY IN HOUSTON. HE HAD TO GET A FORM FROM THE FBO. IT'S A HE GAVE ME THE A P P P OR PPM OR SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? IT'S A RESUME. YEAH. SO YOU HAD TO GET. 
          YEAH. IN ORDER TO CHARGE A SPECIAL EVENT. ANYWAY, HE HAD TO GET THAT FORM FROM THE FBO IN ORDER TO GET HIS. HE HAD TO PUT THAT IN HIS FLIGHT PLAN. SO ARE THEY AVOIDING. I WOULD 
          [00:25:03]
THINK THAT SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE AVOIDING THE FEES IN THE UP FUEL PRICES AND ALL THAT, BUT WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET. SO. AND SOME OF THE FEES WERE PRETTY. I THINK I SAW $2,400 FOR A PRETTY GOOD SIZED EXECUTIVE JET PARKING FEE. SO ANYTHING ELSE LIKE Y2K, Y2K, EXACTLY. Y2K OR THE ECLIPSE? SAME KIND OF A THING. ALL RIGHT. NOTHING ELSE. IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN FROM. RAY IS A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. NOBODY IS OPPOSED. THAT MOTION CARRIES. AND WE ARE
