[4. ADOPTION OF MINUTES ]
DON'T HAVE THAT PAGE WITH ME. WE'LL HAVE THE ADOPTION OF OUR MINUTES. SO ITEM 4.1 WILL DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON NINE, 18 2026. SO IF EVERYBODY WILL JUST TAKE A LOOK AT IT.ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? OKAY, SO WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT ITEM. ITEM NUMBER FIVE
[5. BUSINESS ITEMS ]
WHICH ARE BUSINESS ITEMS 5.1, 5.1 TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER SEPTEMBER FINANCIALS. WE'LL HAVE STEADY OR ROBERT STEADY. SO THOSE ARE 25 2650 YEARS. SO TODAY I WANT TO FOCUS ON THE FOUR YEAR SCORING WHERE WE COMPARED WITH LAST YEAR. AND HOW WOULD YOU SUMMARIZE OUR BUDGET? SO STARTING WITH THE NET OPERATING INCOME DIMINISHED APPROXIMATELY 1.2 MILLION BELOW LAST YEAR. THE PRIMARY REASON IS LOWER REVENUES RATHER THAN REAL ESTATE. MOVING PAST THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT 637 SUPER LOW HERE. WHAT CAN I USE TO LOWER AND LOWER WOULD BE. LOWER LANDFILL PRICES AND. ALLOCATIONS AS WELL AS TAX. I'M AT THIS PAST WAS DOWN COMPARED TO LAST YEAR, BUT IT IS EMBEDDED. AND AFTER A LITTLE BIT WORRIED ABOUT 12.8. SO GOING TO OUR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LINE WE ARE SO COMPARED TO OUR LAST WORD IN MOST INSTANCES LIKE WE DID. JUST THIS YEAR. GOING TO OUR SECOND PROFESSIONAL PLACE THAT HAS. BUT WE STILL BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE SOME DIVERSIFICATION AND. SOMETHING ELSE FOR OUR FUTURE. THIS IS ALL ABOUT. AND. OKAY, SO MOVING OVER TO HOW WE DO IT AND OKAY, SO OUR NET OPERATING PROFIT THIS YEAR WAS ABOUT GOING OVER. TO GO TO OUR INCOME. YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME LONG TERM WAS ABOUT 736,100 AND. THE BIGGEST DRIVER IS. WE DID HAVE A. REVENUE. AND[00:05:12]
THEN WE GOT OUR PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL WAS ONE OF THE SECOND. AND MOVING DOWN TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LEVEL, WE ARE BELOW HERE. IF YOU LOOK AT OUR ENGINEERING SERVICES LINE.WHILE SAVING MONEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK. IS DOWN. SOMETIMES THAT CAN MEAN, YOU KNOW. SMALLER PIECES OF THAT. SO WE WANT TO HAVE THAT. GOING DOWN TO OUR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ONE. IS JUST ABOUT BUDGET ON THERE. SO WE'RE NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. SO OVERALL OUR NET OPERATING IS BETTER THIS YEAR COMPARED TO BUDGETS THAT THE LANDFILL AND THEN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS. I THINK ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THAT WE FIND THINGS LIKE. YOU KNOW, BACK IN SOMETIME, WE WERE KIND OF WORRIED ABOUT OURSELVES BECAUSE WE WERE FALLING OFF A THEORY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. AND I THINK IT WAS REALLY PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN THAT AND THEY JUST DIDN'T COME BACK TO IS WHAT I THINK HAPPENED. BUT I THINK WE ENDED THE YEAR WITH A GOOD, STRONG SALES TAX. SO. I TRIED TO REDEEM OURSELVES TOGETHER. YOU NEED TO BE IN THREE. COMING IN FROM THE SOUTH AND WE HAD A GREAT YEAR. I THINK WE HAVE A LOT TO DRIVE DOWN, AND I THINK WE CAN DO. THAT. SO JUST THE. IT'S WEIRD, I GUESS SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP ME AND I THINK WOULD HELP US MAKE BETTER DECISIONS IS NURSING MIGHT BE FOR UNION TIES.
ARE THERE BENCHMARKS OUT THERE FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR THE EDC'S THAT WE ASPIRE TO BE LIKE, THIS IS SORT OF THE PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE THAT THESE SPEND ON MARKETING AND WE'LL SPEND ON STAFF AND WILL SPEND ON STUFF. DOES THAT INFORMATION EXIST? YEAH, I'M SURE THERE, THERE, I GUESS MY FIRST RESPONSE TO THAT IS THEIR INFORMATION, LIKE OURS IS PUBLIC RECORD. AND WE COULD GO LOOK AT THEIR BUDGETS AND JUST BENCHMARK WHERE THEY'RE AT ON THOSE. YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING THING TO HAVE AS A REFERENCE POINT.
AND THEN I THINK THAT WHERE WE CAN PROBABLY WHAT WOULD, WHAT WOULD POINT, WHAT WOULD MAKE THIS KIND OF COME ALIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR ME IS IF WE HAD, YOU KNOW, OKAY, NORMALLY EDC'S THAT ARE KIND OF LIKE OURS AND THE ONES WE WANT TO BE LIKE, THEY NORMALLY SPEND, YOU KNOW, 6% OF THEIR INCOME ON MARKETING. BUT BECAUSE OF OUR STRATEGY AND THE PLAN THAT WE HAVE, WE WANT TO SPEND. EIGHT AND SO I THINK THAT AS WE LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS PERSONALLY, I THINK IT IS A MUCH BIGGER RISK FOR THIS GROUP, NOT DEPLOY MONEY THAN IT IS TO RUN OUT OF MONEY. SO YEAH. YEAH, EXACTLY. AND SO I THINK THAT SOME, I THINK THAT IF WE HAD SOME, SOME NUMBERS THAT WERE KIND OF LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD SORT OF GIVE US THAT TARGET OF LIKE, HEY, WE WANT TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON THIS STUFF. AND EXECUTING OUR STRATEGY WOULD MEAN THAT WE.
FOR THE FIXED COST, ESPECIALLY. YEAH. I THINK WHEN WE DID THIS, WE DEVELOPED A GREAT NOT TO SAY THAT WE LOOKED AT, LET'S GO BACK AND RELOOK AT THAT AND SAY REFRACTIVE, BECAUSE I FORGET.
WE'RE LOOKING AT FIVE, 6 OR 8 CITIES LIKE THAT. AND THEN WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. YEAH, THAT THAT PEER GROUP IS A, IS A GOOD LIST TO START WITH. YEAH. AND WE MAY FIND ANOTHER 1 OR 2 OUTSIDE OF THAT, BUT WE CAN, WE CAN LOOK AT THEIR. WE CAN GO INTO THEIR PUBLIC RECORDS AND FIND THEIR, FIND THEIR BUDGET. YEAH. AND THEN THERE'S PROBABLY LIKE AMONG THOSE THINGS, I THINK THAT IF WE LOOKED AT THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THERE ARE PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, AS WE LOOK AT THE 39 LINES ON THIS THING, THERE'S PROBABLY LIKE SIX THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, LIKE, HEY, CTE PROGRAMS, THIS IS WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN WE WANT TO WATCH MARKETING, YOU KNOW, STAFFING LEVELS, THOSE ARE JUST A HANDFUL, I THINK. OKAY, WISH I'D THOUGHT OF IT MYSELF. COUNCILOR. YOU DID. YOU ACTUALLY, YOU MENTIONED YOU JUST FORGOT THAT YOU SAID. OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. CAN WE GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE. OKAY. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. NEXT WE'LL GO TO
[00:10:01]

AND THEN I'M GOING TO LET JACKIE GIVE YOU THE WINGS OVERALL WINGS UPDATE THIS YEAR, THE TEXAS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION COMMISSIONED AN AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT REPORT REGARDING PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. I'M GOING TO TRY TO FIND A GOOD SPOT. YEAH, I TRIED TO MOVE BACK, BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO STAND IN THE HALLWAY. YOU CAN HEAR ME. WAS A LITTLE SUMMARY OF THIS REPORT. HOW ARE YOU? THIS REPORT. OKAY, GOOD.BUT EVERYBODY WANTS TO. SO. BUT THERE'S MORE TO THIS REPORT. I WANTED. TO. THE. BUT OVERALL, THEY FOUND THAT FOR EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED IN TEXAS LIBRARIES IS GENERATING 1.77.
OVER $3.8 MILLION WAS. THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE FROM WHERE WE ARE. WE ARE ASKING FOR.

WE MAY BE GREAT IN THIS AREA. SO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO NOW, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT.
ARE UNDER THE INFORMATION. WE HAVE THE ABILITY. TO SAY. THAT. YOU KNOW THIS. IS THE MOST.
MOST OF THE TIME. SO. SO. AS LONG AS. AND THAT IS WHAT. SO WE ALL KNOW HOW MANY. MEMBERS THERE ARE. SO. SO AS WE GO ALONG BECAUSE. THAT IS. AS WONDERFUL AS IT IS. ONE OF THE THINGS. THAT. WE LEARN AND THEY CAN JUST GIVE IT UP AND SAY, I WASTED ALL. THAT, I KNEW THAT.
YOU KNOW, AND. AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF CONTROL. THEY CAN CALL. YOU THINK ABOUT SOMEBODY LIKE, YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW THAT. SO I THANK YOU FOR OUR TIME. OUR RESIDENTS HERE ARE IS ARE WE CANNOT OR CAN THROUGH THE PROCESS WE HAVE, I WOULD SAY HOW MANY TO I'M SORRY, I MEAN, TO CUT YOU OFF. HOW MANY RESIDENTS DO WE HAVE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT RECENTLY AND ROLLING WITH THE BUDGET CUTS? DO YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION WE HAVE ABOUT. I SAW THE PERCENTAGES ON THERE, BUT. I'M SORRY THAT WE DO. WE HAVE RESIDENTS ON THE WAITING
[00:20:03]
LIST TO GET IN. OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU. GET. THAT KIND OF. EVERY ONE OF YOU. SO IT'S A REALLY CONCENTRATED. OUTSIDE AND. LOOKING FORWARD TO. FUTURE. CHANGES. TO. HOW DO YOU ALL GET MONEY IN THE CITY, RIGHT. AND. SO THAT YOU CAN. SO. MANY PEOPLE RELY ON THE.RIGHT NOW. SO. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE GAP BETWEEN THE SERVICE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, JUST IN YOUR JUDGMENT, WHAT MIGHT THE ACTUAL REALISTIC. PRESUMABLY IT'S JUST LIKE A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION. YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE KIND OF LIKE A GYM MEMBERSHIP, RIGHT? A LOT OF PEOPLE START NOT MANY PEOPLE, BUT IF YOU LIKE, IN TERMS OF MONEY, WHAT IS THE GAP BETWEEN YOU ALL BEING ABLE TO LIKE, ONLY SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO NOW AND BEING ABLE TO FULFILL WHAT YOU SEE IS THE TIME FOR THEM.
BALLPARK. I MEAN, YOU'RE 100,000 SHORT. YOU'RE A MILLION SHORT. LIKE, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT IF WE GAVE YOU, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS, THEN YOU COULD PROBABLY PUT IT TO GREAT USE. BUT JUST LIKE WHAT YOU. OKAY, SO. WITH THAT. YOU ARE. STILL, YOU KNOW, AND, AND IT WAS ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IS THE SAME THING? AND. YOU. IN THE LAST YEAR. AND SO, AND YOUR. AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW. AND YOU ENGAGE IN. SOMETHING THAT IS THAT IS GOING ON, YOU KNOW, YOU MAY SAY. THAT YOU TOLD ME DOWN IN ONE YOU SEE IN THE LIBRARY, YOU HAVE. THAT WAS A GREAT. THAT YOU. AND SO THAT INFORMATION IN A WAY THAT IS. SO YOU HAVE A.
YOU. HOW WOULD YOU TELL US? THE MONEY THAT YOU SEE? AND PROBABLY CAN'T DO IT THIS MORNING, BUT WHEN YOU ASK FOR MONEY OR MORE MONEY, THAT COULD BE. ABLE TO SAY, THIS IS A
[00:25:08]
DIRECT LINK BETWEEN THIS AND A CONFERENCE CALL. RIGHT. OKAY. AND WE'RE ALL. YOU. KNOW THAT THAT. SO. AND. AND I THINK THAT. ALL OF THOSE.HAVE A LOT OF. CONNECTION FOR. AND I JUST. I FIND THAT TO, TO EDUCATE THEM ON. THAT. I THINK LIKE YOU. AND THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT IS I THINK THAT BASED ON THE PROGRAMS YOU HAVE PROBABLY COME UP WITH SORT OF A BASELINE OF LIKE, WHENEVER PEOPLE COME TO US, THEY ARE NOT AT THE LEVEL THAT THEY NEED TO, TO BE HIGHLY EMPLOYABLE, WHATEVER THAT MEANS. HIGHLY EMPLOYABLE, MEAN, YOU KNOW, GOOD ENGLISH SKILLS AND, YOU KNOW, GOOD, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S HOWEVER YOU WOULD WANT TO DEFINE IT IF YOU COULD ALMOST THINK OF IT ON LIKE A PER STUDENT BASIS. LIKE THIS IS WHAT IT COSTS FOR US TO GET A STUDENT FROM NOT HIGHLY EMPLOYABLE TO HIGHLY EMPLOYABLE. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IF IT'S 1000 BUCKS A PERSON OR IT'S WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, LIKE, LIKE WHATEVER THAT NUMBER COMES OUT TO BE, I KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO EVER BE A PRECISE CALCULATION. A LOT OF THIS IS JUST KIND OF IN THE WAY THAT YOU CAN TELL THE STORY, RIGHT? BUT I THINK THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY HELP US FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE. IF YOU, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ASK US FROM US, IT'S MORE ABOUT TRANSLATING IT INTO IT'S LIKE, HEY, WE DON'T NEED THIS MUCH MONEY SO THAT WE CAN HIRE THESE OTHER INSTRUCTORS OR SO THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, INVEST IN THE SOFTWARE OR DO WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, THESE PROGRAMS, IT'S LIKE, IT COST US $1,000 TO GET SOMEONE HIGHLY EMPLOYABLE. IF YOU GIVE US $40,000, THIS IS 40 MORE HIGHLY EMPLOYABLE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE IN THIS MARKETPLACE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO WORK. YEAH. AND THEN, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND THEN THIS IS WHERE WE'RE FEEDING THE LOCAL AREA WITH. YEAH. AND SO, AND YEAH, I THINK THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL. YEAH. BUT. YOU KNOW. YEAH, I MEAN, THIS, THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TELLING US THAT IT'S JUST LIKE, DUDE, GETTING A PERSON FROM NOT HIGHLY EMPLOYED AND HIGHLY EMPLOYABLE COST 500 BUCKS. IT'S JUST LIKE, OKAY, HOW MUCH MONEY CAN WE THROW AT THIS THING? BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU SOMEBODY THAT'S LOOKING TO HIRE HIGHLY EMPLOYABLE PEOPLE, THERE'S NOT AS MANY OUT THERE AS YOU WOULD HOPE. AND SO, I MEAN, I, I THINK WE CAN. WHAT DO YOU THINK THOSE ONES? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO SUGGEST IS NOW WE WE DO HAVE A DISCUSSION CONSIDER FOR OUR NORMAL BUDGETED 60,000. YOU GUYS OBVIOUSLY CAN DO WITH IT WHAT YOU WISH. WE CAN VOTE ON THAT TODAY. WE CAN. I MADE A NOTE TO PUT THEM ON THE AGENDA FOR NOVEMBER. IF YOU WANT TO BRING BACK THOSE POINTS, AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN CONSIDER WHATEVER ELSE YOU MAY WANT TO DO. OKAY. AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW TOO, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, OLD CASTLE AND ARNOLD AND SOME OF THE BUSINESSES, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THOSE BUSINESSES AND SERVICES? WHAT'S THAT NUMBER LOOK LIKE FOR THE PAST YEAR? BECAUSE Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE TALKED TO 20 PEOPLE AND SET THEM UP FOR PROMOTIONS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO IF YOU COULD HAVE THOSE NUMBERS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOO, FOR ME TO SEE THOSE OR PROBABLY ALL OF US
[00:30:02]
TO SEE IT. YEAH. AND. CERTAINLY THIS IS OUR. ITEM NUMBER FIVE POINT. I MEAN, 5.2, I WOULD LIKE TO GET A MOTION TO CONSIDER THE 60,000 THAT WE NORMALLY DO. AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK NEXT MONTH TO CONSIDER ADDITIONAL FOR THE MOTION. SO WE'LL GO TO ITEM 5.3 TO HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM PROJECT FLIGHT. YEAH WE HAVE WITH US TODAY PATRICK ANSON WHO IS THE CEO OF THRUST FLIGHT. WE'RE GLAD THAT HE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OVER TODAY. AND WE'RE GOING TO WE NEED TO GET HIM SAID HE HAS A PRESENTATION. CHRIS. YEAH. SO WHILE HE'S.WHILE THEY'RE LOOKING, I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A SMALL BLURB OF BASICALLY GIVING YOU AN UPDATE.
AS YOU RECALL, I CAME TO YOU AT THE. MEETING IN GRANBURY AND GAVE YOU AN UPDATE FROM THERE.
WE'RE STILL IN DISCUSSIONS WITH FINE TUNING, OR I WOULD SAY WE'RE CONSIDERED 90%, 95% FAIR ON UNDER THE AGREEMENT. SO WE'RE VERY CLOSE. WE ALL KNOW IN BE IN THE BUSINESS WORLD, WE WE. IT'S BEEN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WITH YOU. I WANT TO KIND OF ECHO A LOT OF WHAT I HEARD FROM THE FINANCIAL. WE HAVE OUR FEET UNDERNEATH US. AND THEN WE WANT TO DEPLOY MORE MONEY. WATCHING, WATCHING. SO ONE, WE HAVE SOME VERY EXCITING TIMES. CARLTON AND TY AND MYSELF WENT AND VISITED WITH PATRICK AT PATTERSON AIRPORT ON AUGUST 28TH, AND HE GAVE US THE GRAND TOUR OF THE ASSETS. AS FROM THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS. SO IT'S GREAT TO HAVE HIM HERE FOR THAT. YOU CAN HEAR HIM WHERE HE'S AT, WHERE HE'S HARD AT THAT. BUT A LOT OF EXCITING THINGS, EXCITING THINGS. TO. TO WORK ON AND REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? PATRICK. SO. WE'RE PROBABLY THE LARGEST, BUT. WHAT WE DO IS WE PREPARE. VERY THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT. ALL THE THINGS. WE ALSO PREPARE FOR THAT. WHEN WE BRING SOMEBODY IN THAT. THAT, YOU KNOW, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE AND ALL THAT. BUT WE ALSO HAVE AIRCRAFT DISPATCHERS PROGRAM. SO WE ARE A TRAINING AND. GOT A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY. THAT.
AND HUNDRED AND 39,000. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A GREAT. RETIREMENT. RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE POPULATION. AND. THE. 100,000 THAT YOU KNOW, HOW MANY. YEARS. OUT. SO OUR BUSINESS ISN'T ALWAYS THAT. WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS. AND THAT WAS A GOOD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
AND THE HARDEST PART OF THAT IS TO KNOW, AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO. 50% OF THE
[00:35:03]
WORKFORCE OUT THERE. RIGHT NOW. AND. THE NUMBER WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY IS 100 RIGHT NOW HAS BEEN A REALLY EXCITING JOURNEY. BUT. SO I'M SURE ALL OF YOU UNDERSTAND THAT CARROLL COUNTY RAN OUT OF CARROLL WAS ONE OF. THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT. WE ARE. AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE. YOU KNOW, AND SO CURRENTLY. WAS. IS PROBABLY ABOUT 60% OF OUR FLIGHT. SO WHAT WE CALL OUR COUNTY. OF YEAR AGO, WE. HOW MANY. $5 MILLION. CARROLL 25. WE'RE AVERAGING AROUND 250 TO 350. BUT MOST OF THE ONES THAT. AT SPOKE OF THE LINE IS RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY. FOR US. SO IT'S A GREAT THAT IT'S TIME TO REACH OUT AND AND. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE FLYING TO. ADDITIONALLY. AND THEN WE'LL DRIVE ALL OVER THE STATE GOVERNMENT'S. BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT. AND CERTAINLY DIDN'T WANT TO. YOU KNOW. BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF. GOES IN THERE. BASICALLY JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT A GUY THAT. THAT LET'S PUT IT DOES HERE.RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW. I STARTED OUT AS. AS A 25 YEAR OLD AND. FLYING. AT 327 AND LATER 4550MG. SYMBOL. WITH AIRCRAFT AND STARTED OUT WITH 2034. WORKING OUT THERE. SO WHAT I DID IS I JUST FOR THAT COMPANY. I'M NOT GOING. AND. 27. 2000 AND. AND NOW FOR MY OPERATION, I STARTED IN THE BATHROOM AND. WHITE AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES. TALK ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT I. DO. SO THAT IS, THAT IS A. BUT I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE. LEAVE RIGHT NOW AND. BRING ALL THE MANUFACTURING. PROBABLY ABOUT. 24 AND I THINK THAT YOU ALL.
REFERENCES. AND THEN ON THE BACK OF THAT, REPORT, ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT WE ARE. BOYS. PRETTY COOL. SO WHAT I DO IS I CREATE MY OWN AND CREATE. I THINK THAT IS ABOUT 90% OF. IT. IF YOU. OR ONE. DIRECTOR. AND IT REALLY MAKES FOR A GREAT STORY BECAUSE THE AIRCRAFT THAT WERE
[00:40:08]
MANUFACTURED. THE AIRCRAFT. THAT. THAT WE ARE. ABOUT THAT ABOUT $1 BILLION. THAT WE ARE, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF LIKE. BUSINESS THAT ARE. FOR THAT. AND SO THAT AND EVERYTHING THAT WITH REGARD TO THAT, AND YOU CAN SEE HERE LIKE YOU COULD. SO THIS IS JUST. SO RIGHT NOW.ABOUT $10 MILLION THAT THAT IS INCLUDED IN THAT. AND. A MUCH BETTER PILOT THAN. I WAS ABOUT TO LEARN SOMETHING. I PUT THAT ON FACEBOOK. YEAH. THAT WAS NOT BORN YET WITH TEARS. I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT. OH, THERE YOU GO. HEY, NOBODY MOVED. SO AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT IS, 60% OF THE PROFIT AS. AS THE REPORT, PLEASE. THIS IS HALF OF YOUR OPERATION TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS THAT. IS A SINGLE ONE, RIGHT? NOW THAT. SO WE GOT 45 STUDENTS THAT WE BROUGHT IN FROM OTHER AREAS. SO OVER HERE. FOUND IN OUR 35%. THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO SO PRETTY MUCH FROM THAT IN OCTOBER 2020. TWO. SO WE WILL TAKE THEY. 1175 RIGHT HERE IN. THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT. LOOKING FOR A JOB, RIGHT. SO PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT FROM TYPEKIT. THAT ARE PEOPLE. THAT WANT TO. SO YOU. IF THEY. 577 500 AND. SO THIS IS KIND OF WHAT IT'S LIKE. DOWN HERE IN TEXAS. DALLAS, DALLAS. SO YEAH, SO, SO.
AND, AND THEN. SO 1.6%. RIGHT NOW. DURING THE. OUR APPROVAL TO FINANCE UP TO 747. I THINK. AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. IS PROBABLY. AND WHAT DO WE KNOW THAT. THEY'RE NOT THEY ARE NOT. RIGHT. SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S. THOSE ARE. THANK. YOU FOR
[00:45:08]
WANTING TO DO IS BASICALLY, FOR EXAMPLE, AT THIS POINT, RIGHT NOW, IT'S 2042. SO THAT IS A LOT OF FUN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND ALL THAT. SO SO THAT'S KIND OF WITHOUT EVEN HAVING THE. THE FINANCIAL CRISIS, WHAT WAS THAT? WAS THAT THAT LA. ALL THE WORK THAT I.THAT. SORT OF THING. AND. AND SO. SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT. SO I DON'T. SO THIS ALL WORKS THE WAY. BUT IT CERTAINLY WASN'T FUNDED BY 2000. OUR. OKAY. SO THAT THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A STORY ABOUT. THAT. AND. SO. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO BRING PEOPLE IN THAT YOUR WORK, YOUR, YOUR, WE WANT TO HIRE. I WANT TO DO. THIS. RIGHT. SO, SO ONE THING THAT WE DO. WE HAVE $40,000 FROM OUR PROJECT. 7000. AND $30,000 FOR EDUCATION, $131,550 MILLION DOLLARS. SO I'M NOT GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S GREAT. I DON'T KNOW A VERY LONG. INVESTMENT. SO. A FEW OF THOSE 5070 WILL HAVE A JOB. A JOB OFFER. SO 20,000. AND 33. AND THEN. DIVIDE. THAT. I THINK. THAT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY.
CERTAINLY WANT TO. SO. A LOT OF THAT A. PART OF THAT. AND SO FOR. FOR. OKAY. THANK YOU. IF I COULD ADD SOMETHING TO THAT, PATRICK, JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION HERE, DOCTOR MORRISON, WHO'S THE PRESIDENT OF TRINITY VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE BEFORE HE CAME HERE, WAS IT A SMALL WAS AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE SIMILAR IN ARKANSAS, WHERE THEY SET UP AN AVIATION PROGRAM THERE. SO HE IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THINGS LIKE THIS. SO I'M GLAD. I'M GLAD THE MEETING GOT SET. SO I'M GLAD WE GOT YOU ALL TOGETHER AND GOT THAT DONE. SO WE TRIED SETTING IT UP OVER THE SUMMER. THAT WAS ONE CHALLENGE, BUT NOT EVERYBODY'S COMING BACK TO SCHOOL, SO. THAT'S ALSO ONE THING THAT. I DON'T WANT. EVERYBODY. IS INVITED TO
[00:50:12]
PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING I DIDN'T KNOW I DIDN'T. AND THERE IS A LOT OF TIME, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO I, I WILL TALK A BIT ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW AND. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO DO. THAT.AND I. AND. I SAID. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH IT. ALL RIGHT. AND, AND I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO TRY. SOMETHING LIKE THIS. AND I DON'T WANT TO.
OH, LOT OF THINGS THAT IN MY MIND THAT TELLS ME THAT I LIKE THIS, THAT YOU GUYS DID NOT. DO NOT LIKE HOW IT. IS STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE'S NOT THAT HIGH OFF FROM ALL OF THOSE THINGS LIKE THAT FROM MY EDUCATION, I MIGHT HAVE GONE AS WELL. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
ON THE. 7575 THOUSAND OR WE'RE OFFERING. PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. BUT. FOR THE.
THAT IS NOT REALLY FOR THE. PERPETRATORS TO DO, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. BUT SO SO IF THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WANT FOR YOURSELF AND FOR OUR PLANET.
THAT THAT IS A PROBLEM THAT THAT. SO ONE OF OUR PROJECT. AND SO. THAT'S ONE. THAT THAT PROGRAM. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT. WILL MAKE SURE THAT THAT. THAT. TEN MONTHS. 12. SO THAT.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF THAT AND. AND.
AND. THAT PROGRAM. REALLY. 1500. AND 75 AND I WAS OUT THERE. YOU KNOW, SO ANYBODY HERE. THE
[00:55:02]
OTHER. ANY ADDITIONAL. THERE IS A POPULATION AND THE NUMBER. ACCORDING TO. THE LIBRARY. 200 AND. FOR THOSE OF US THAT. AND NOT FOR YOU. AND. I. DON'T. SEE WHAT ELSE AT THE AIRPORT IS IS RIGHT ON OUR WAY TO THIS LIKE TO BE AROUND THIS OUT THERE. WHAT ELSE? WHAT OTHER FACILITIES CAPABILITIES IS THE AIRPORT THAT. YOU KNOW, IF THIS THING IS AS ACCESSIBLE AS YOU KNOW, WHAT AS FAR AS. I CAN, PROBABLY ABOUT 100, 140,000. 450,000 877. BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY. SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT REALLY DOESN'T EXACTLY. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO.UPGRADE. THE OTHER FIRE. OR SOMETHING LIKE 124. AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO. IS THAT SOMETHING LIKE. YOU SAID, SOMETHING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 100,000FT■!S FOR THE MANUFACTURING FACILITY, WHATEVER IT MAY BE MORE ON WHAT WHAT SHIFTS IT FROM IF IT'S A HOME RUN, WHEN IT'S A HOME RUN, WHAT ARE THE WHAT IS THE GAP THAT'S GOING TO BASICALLY SAY, THIS IS AS CLOSE TO A SURE THING THAT IS VERY. SO CONTRACT MANUFACTURING. I LEARNED THAT. THAT THAT. THAT THAT THAT THAT KIND OF. PUTTING IT OUT THERE AND. THEN. AND NOW BACK TO. YOU MENTIONED IN THE INTERVIEW, AND OBVIOUSLY YOU FASHION FORWARD. I THINK I SAW ANOTHER PRESENTATION HAS ALREADY BROUGHT IN SOME OUTSIDE CAPITAL. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED OVER THERE? IS YOUR PERSONAL FUTURE LOOK LIKE IT'S PRETTY WELL. SO WE DID A RECAPITALIZATION PROJECT FOR.
ABOUT. TWO. AND ONE. IS ABOUT TO CELEBRATE. SO IF THE MANUFACTURING IF THE NEW
[01:00:04]
AIRPLANE TAKES OFF. SO. RECENTLY LIKELY OUTCOME IS THAT THEY WANT TO ROLL THRUST FLIGHT.I WANT TO BE I WANT TO DO THE I WANT TO DO THE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING AND THEN KNOW THAT THAT COMPANY IS ON. THAT GREAT, GREAT. A LOT OF.
YEAH, I WISH I HAD YOU'D BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE PROBABLY. SO IT'S A. AND WE HAVE FRIENDS AND COMPANIES. WE DO BUSINESSES. AND WE HAVE A. VERY, VERY SMALL.
SO WE ALL WANT TO. SO THAT'S WHY.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANET, THAT $30,000 A YEAR THAT YOU GET OUT THE DOOR AND THROW THEM ON. THE. PUBLIC SO THAT. THEY CAN TALK ABOUT IT. THAT'S ABOUT $35,000. FOR THE 100,000. THAT'S GOOD. AND ABOUT 75% OF. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR PATRICK? CAN YOU GO CAN YOU GO BACK ONE SLIDE. THANK YOU. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO AND WE'RE BY THE WAY, WHEN WE GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE THE BUILDING. SO. ANYWAY SO WE HAVE ABOUT. 30 SIX.
PATRICK THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OVER HERE AND DOING THIS. OF COURSE, IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, EVERYBODY. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO. GOOD. GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO.
ALL RIGHT. SO I HAVE REFORMATTED THE SPREADSHEET. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN READ IT THIS TIME. THE BIG HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THAT WE DO HAVE TWO COMPLETED INITIATIVES LOOKING AT ROW FOUR AND 11. THIS PAST WEEK, WE HAD OUR FIRST CTE ADVISORY MEETING. ROBERT WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE
[01:05:03]
IN THAT AS WELL. AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ISD. I THINK IT WAS A VERY EFFECTIVE MEETING. THERE'S A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS FROM THE INDUSTRY THAT PROVIDED GOOD INSIGHT ABOUT WHAT THE NEEDS ARE, HOW WE CAN PREPARE OUR STUDENTS FOR THE WORKFORCE. AND SO I THINK WE CAN ESSENTIALLY SAY THAT WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY STARTED THAT PROGRAM, AND WE WILL CONTINUE PARTICIPATING AND MAKING SURE THAT WE GET VALUABLE DATA FROM THAT, THAT PROGRAM AS WELL.ROBERT, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD ON ON THAT? ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS A BIG TOPIC OF CONVERSATION WAS. THERE'S A BELIEF THERE'S A GAP BETWEEN WHAT THE SCHOOL BELIEVES ARE THE INDUSTRIES NEED AND WHAT INDUSTRIES NEED. AND WE DISCUSSED, I THINK THEY MAY COME AND ASK US FOR FUNDING TO GET SOME. ACTUAL FACTS, BUT UNTIL THAT GAP IS CLOSED, WE MAY TRAIN STUDENTS TO DO THE JOBS WE NEED, BUT IT MAY BE MORE ACCIDENTAL THAN WE THINK.
SO I THINK THAT WAS A BIG TOPIC OF CONVERSATION FOR ME, AND I THINK THAT MAY SHOW UP. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO DO THAT. I THINK ALSO FROM THAT, WE DID ASK FOR DATA GOING FORWARD TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE GOING AS BEST AS WE CAN AFTER GRADUATION, AS WELL AS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR INTERESTS ARE, WHAT THEIR THEIR PLANS ARE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. SO THERE'S KIND OF A, WE WANT TO TRAIN OUR PEOPLE TO DO EVERYTHING. THEY GO PURSUE THEIR JOBS, BUT OUR. OUR TASK IS TO CREATE JOBS IN TEXAS. SO THERE HAS TO BE A LINK FOR WHERE WE'RE SPENDING OUR MONEY TO PROVIDING TALENT FOR JOBS. BUT. LOOKING AT ROW 11 FROM THE PLANNING RETREAT, WE WERE ASKED TO EVALUATE A LOCAL SHARED SERVICE PARTNERSHIP FOR VARIOUS SERVICES. AFTER TALKING WITH THE CHAMBER AND ANGIE, THEY HAVE RECEIVED CONFIRMATION THAT WE CAN DO A SHARED INSURANCE SERVICE FOR A LOT OF OUR SMALLER LOCAL BUSINESSES. AND SO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CHAMBER, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HOPE TO MAKE AVAILABLE TO A LOT OF OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES. SO WE ARE MARKING THAT AS COMPLETE BUT STILL EVALUATING OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES. THAT'S IN PART HEALTH INSURANCE OPPORTUNITIES, CORRECT? CORRECT. IT'S YOU KNOW, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE. IF YOU CAN GET INTO A LARGER POOL, WE MAY BE ABLE TO SAVE SOME OF OUR SMALLER BUSINESSES, SOME MONEY. SO AND THEN AS FAR AS PROGRESS, I'VE ADDED A COLUMN ON THE FAR RIGHT THAT JUST KIND OF SHOWS YOU, YOU KNOW, GENERAL INCREASES OF, OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. ONE IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM. THAT ONE WILL HOPEFULLY COME TO THE BOARD HERE SOON. THE REASON THAT ONE'S TAKING A LITTLE WHILE IS BECAUSE IT DOES REQUIRE A LOT OF FOLLOW UP ON THE ACTIONS TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING A VALUE TO THE BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM. SO WE'RE WORKING WORKING ON THAT.
