Well,
they're
not
they're,
not
local
folks,
they
have
nothing
other
than
what
they
get
out
of
statistics.
They
don't
know
much
about
our
market
yeah
every
time
that
those
two
sides
on
the
two
sides
you
guys
make
us
yeah
but
they're
not
interested
in
those,
because
those
are
for
in-market
people
and
that's
not
our
focus.
A
A
B
B
D
A
A
A
But
we
offered
it,
we
thought
that
after
that
last
meeting
everybody
said
they
wanted
to
be
in
person
right.
So,
even
though
it's
too
easy
to
opt
out
yeah,
so
maybe
we'll
discuss
amongst
ourselves,
yeah
and
that's
up
to
you
guys.
You
know
how
you
want
to
make
wheel
and
facilitated
this.
Is
your
board
yep,
so
we'll
let
you
down.
I
would
like
you
to
speculate
on
something.
Oh
boy
turn
this
thing
off.
B
B
B
D
Okay,
now
I
know
you
already
approved
the
agenda,
but
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
amend
the
agenda
and
actually
move
the
chairman
and
vice
chairman
election
forward
since
leslie
told
us
she
needs
to
leave
early.
So
if
we
can,
let's
put
that
first
and
then
I'll
come
back
up,
so
you
guys
can
handle
that
election.
B
B
B
B
D
D
D
D
D
It's
kind
of
in
two
parts,
there's
a
there's,
an
ordinance
that
governs
governs
all
of
the
boards
and
commissions
in
the
county.
So
if
you
want
to
read
that
you
can
that's
just
the
authority,
that's
given
council
to
set
these
boards
up,
but
the
more
important
ordinance
section
is
one
that
I
think
elaine
either
did
or
will
send
out
this
afternoon
you
may
have
seen
it
in
your
email,
there's
a
link
that
will
take
you
directly
to
the
airport's
board
section
of
the
ordinance.
D
So
I'd
ask
that
you
just
read
that
over
again
and
kind
of
re-familiarize
yourself
with
the
kind
of
the
points
of
emphasis
on
the
duties
of
the
board
howard-
and
I
talked
a
while
ago-
and
I
would
like
to
see-
and
I
probably
should
have
done
this
months
ago-
but
I'd
like
to
see
as
we
take
as
we
meaning
the
staff
take
items
forward
to
county
council
to
the
committee
level
and
then
those
that
are
of
a
high
enough
level
of
importance
to
full
county
council
it'd.
Be
great.
F
D
F
D
This
was
tuesday
morning
and
really
monday
afternoon,
effective
immediately
at
like
four
o'clock
monday
tsa
was
no
longer
able
to
enforce
or
will
would
not
be
enforcing
their
security
directives
and
the
emergency
amendment
that
required
masks
on
public
transportation
and
in
the
hubs.
So
that
means
that
in
the
airport
you
no
longer
have
to
wear
a
mask
on
the
airplane.
You
don't
have
to
wear
a
mask.
The
tsa
officers
will
be
wearing
masks,
it's
still
their
internal
policy
to
wear
them.
D
D
D
But
now
you
don't
have
to
so.
I
think
people
are
pretty
excited
about
that
all
right.
So
that's
a
good
piece
of
good
news
there,
another
one
that
I
want
to
bring
to
you
steve
and
I
have
been
having
conversations
and
judy's
been
involved
a
little
bit
too
with
a
group
called
beta
and
they
are
an
evital
group
out
of
new
england.
I
can't
remember
it's
new
hampshire
or
massachusetts,
but
they're
up
that
way.
I
think
it's
new
hampshire.
F
D
They
fly
over
to
canada
to
do
some
of
their
cross-country
work,
but
they
do
evita,
which
is
you
know,
electric
battery
power,
basically
vertical
takeoff
aircraft
and
they've
developed
an
aircraft
as
well
as
a
charging
station
for
that
aircraft,
and
they
are
very
interested
in
putting
a
charging
station
that
had
they're
doing
this
with
a
lot
of
the
airports,
especially
along
the
coast,
because
they
have
about
a.
I
forget,
the
mileage
on
that
charge.
A
couple
hours
is
what
it
would
fly.
D
D
D
D
D
D
Place
to
put
it
is
right
at
the
corner
if
you
were
parking
where
the,
where
the
pistons
usually
do
over
by
the
arc,
that
very
back
corner
by
the
arc
gate
seems
to
be
the
best
place
to
put
one
it's
close
to
the
road
so
that
you
can
get
power
to
it
without
running
a
long.
You
know
lateral
of
you
know,
cable,
so
that's
probably
what
we're
looking
at,
but
I
want
to
run
that
just
that
issue
by
you
see
what
questions
comments
you
may
have
before
we
move
forward.
D
B
Think
john
there's
no
downside,
at
least
on
the
surface
except
the
signatures
downside,
that's
a
part
of
the
ramp
that
signature
still
owns
and
that
they're
going
to
charge
their
handling
fees
and
all
the
other
miscellaneous
fees,
because
this
aircraft
that
you
talk
about
will
not
put
fuel
in
it.
That
will
become
a
problem
not
worth
the
investment
unless
you
can
work
something
out
with
a
signature
that
says:
hey
these
aircrafts
that
come
in
charge.
Have
all
these
other
fees
waived.
D
B
B
A
Aircraft
spot
when
the
airplane's,
not
there
another
airplane.
Well,
I
think
it's
very
preliminary,
but
I
think
you
have
to
look
at
logistics
that
you
described
because
sometimes
it's
doable
by
the
operators.
Sometimes
they
need
some
help
to
get
it
in
the
proper
position,
especially
if
the
airport
gets
a
little
busy.
So
I
understand
that
you're
in
the
very
early
stages,
but
right
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
things
that
need
to
be
taken.
A
B
D
E
Yeah,
I
just
I
echo
everything
that
howard
said,
but
in
addition
I
know
this
industry
fairly
well
at
this
point,
and
there
is
a
paucity
of
vehicles
that
would
even
be
available
right
now
to
use
this
thing.
So
if
you
got
one
plane
a
year
that
came
down
here,
that
was
probably
pushing
the
limit
of
this.
So
it
may
be
a
little
bit
premature
to
do
it
at
all.
A
D
D
F
D
F
D
So
we'll
see
how
that
comes
around
that's
due
on
may
16th,
like
I
said,
there's
150
towers
that,
like
us
and
there's
20
million
dollars,
so
chances
are
it's
a
little
bit
competitive
or
a
lot
of
big
competitive,
but
we'll
put
our
best
foot
forward
and
they'll
keep
telling
bill
at
the
tower.
It's
the
good
thing
is
five
years,
so
there
should.
D
I
think
probably
that's
an
expensive
item,
so
I'm
not
exactly
sure
if
we'll
do
that
this
year,
we're
still
working
with
the
military
on.
You
know
the
possibility
of
some
radar
as
well.
So
let
us
kind
of
take
another
look
at
that
conversation
with
with
the
marine
corps
and
see
you
know
kind
of
what
they're
thinking,
because
our
idea
was
really
to
get
a
system
that
can
slave.
F
E
E
Okay,
so
the
second
question
I
had,
you
just
said
that
that
you
think
this
is
an
expensive
item.
Do
you
have
any
idea
of
what
the
total
cost
of
this
would
be,
because
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
over
five
years
now
and
from
my
simplistic
standpoint,
it
doesn't
sound
like
it
takes
a
lot
of
effort
to
get
a
scope
in
the
tower,
with
an
internet
connection
to
savannah
or
buford
to
make
the
whole
thing
work.
I'm
trying
to
wrap
my
my
brain
around
what
the
expensive
part
of
this
is
to
do.
It.
D
Well
I'll
agree
with
not
in
a
mean
way,
but
your
simplistic
approach,
because
it
is
unfortunately
there's
a
myriad
of
opportunities
to
do
that
for
you
and
for
me
to
put
radar
in
our
garage
in
a
viewing
scope
or
even
an
adsb.
I
look
at
that
every
day.
They
can't
do
that
in
the
tower
it's
illegal
to
do
that
in
the
tower.
They
can't
just
get
an.
D
D
F
D
At
a
calendar
and
thinking
why,
in
the
world
put
a
bid
out
on
a
sunday
and
based
on
what
our
architects
said,
that's
when
most
contractors
have
the
time
to
read
the
paper
and
a
lot
of
them
still
read
the
paper
to
get
their
opportunities.
So
it's
going
to
go
out
electronically,
but
it'll
also
be
in
south.
D
A
D
Concrete's
nearly
complete
there
and
that
happens
between
usually
one
in
the
morning
and
about
six
or
seven
in
the
morning
as
the
traffic
builds
just
because
the
plan
is
dedicated
to
our
project
overnight
and
you
can't
have
any
traffic
on
the
road.
They've
got
a
real,
quick
turnaround
on
that
concrete,
but
that's
going
well
and
steve,
and
I
spent
one
early
morning
down
there
friday
morning
from
about
0-1
to
zero
six
watching
the
concrete
get
poured,
but
it
was
pretty
interesting.
D
I
had
to
see
it
because
they're
pouring
lanes
that
are
30
feet
wide
35.
yeah.
So
it's
a
big
operation
and
it's
fun
to
watch
the
crews,
just
kind
of
jump
into
action
when
everything
starts
to
happen
and
they're
really
doing
a
fantastic
job.
So
it's
it's
really
looking
good
out
there
and
for
those
of
you
who
who
fly
in
and
out
of
that
airport
you'll
see
that
that
side
has
opened
up
very
nicely.
D
D
D
D
Asked
about
that
last
week
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
basically
fence
that
area
out
of
the
secure
area
as
well,
so
that
you
reduce
the
need
for
badges
at
some
points
in
the
project.
There
will
still
be
some
badging
requirements,
but
if
you
can
reduce
that
burden
that
that
helps
as
well,
because.
D
All
on
the
ramp,
I
mentioned
the
rebranding
earlier,
so
we've
got
the
the
new
airport
logo
is
finished
and
we
are
putting
together
our
plan
to
kind
of
launch
that
full
rebranding
package-
and
I
might
have
mentioned
in
the
past
that'll-
that
that
package
is
everything.
It's
not
just
your
logo,
but
it'll
it'll
be
the
rules
and
regulations
as
to
how
to
use
our
information.
The
airport
information
it'll
be
the
standard
color
palette,
the
standard
fonts
everything
spacing
on
letterhead.
D
So
as
we
continue
to
do
advertising
and
things
like
that,
those
specifications
will
be
sent
to
advertisers
so
that
everything
is
standard
and
reflects
our
exact
brand.
So
that's
rolling
out
mid-june
time
frame.
So
we'll
get
you
guys
involved
on
that
as
well,
and
I
think
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot
on
air
w
other
than
to
tell
you
that
since
you're
here,
you
probably
should
take
it
right
out
there
and
take
a
look
at
the
new
terminal.
D
D
D
D
D
We'll
get
you
involved
in
that
there's.
As
you
probably
know,
the
branding
launch
like
that
you
keep
everything
pretty
tightly
wrapped
until
it's
time
to
to
let
it
go
so
we'll
do
that
I'll,
probably
bring
you
guys
in
on
just
the
logo
and
some
things
before
we
do
that
launch.
But
I
don't
want
to
do
it
in
the
public
forum
because
we
haven't
launched
it
yet.
C
I
will
say
that
I
did
have
to
fly
to
dc
in
may
and
I
went
on
the
kayak
because
of
the
way
the
airlines
do.
If
you
go
on
there
once
and
then
you
go
back
in
the
price
always
goes
up
yeah,
I
start
with
the
kayak,
and
then
I
use
my
phone
and
kayak
brought
up
from
my
airport
and
brought
up
hilton
for
the
first
time
now.
You
know
that.
C
D
B
If
you
haven't
seen
arw
do
so,
I
did
we
can
arrange
for
the
carpool
one
evening
on
saturday
and
sunday
we
can
get
everybody
to
go
over
there
together,
but
it's
worth
taking
a
look
at
regardless
of
whether
you
saw
the
old
facility
or
not,
but
we
should
know
what's
there
so
sometime
in
during
the
month,
I'll
send
an
email
around.
So
you
can
pack
everybody
up
out
there
yeah
it's
excellent,
just
dramatic!
It's
just
a
dramatic
change.
Even
smells
nice
yeah.
It's
the
only
complaint
too
much
noise.
The.
C
B
D
D
The
first
one
is
for
you
for
executive
and
it's
a
grant
that
we
actually
received
darn
near
a
year
ago
now
from
aeronautics
commission
to
fund
the
hookups
on
our
buildings
for
the
emergency
generator
that
we
got
as
a
result
of
hurricane
matthew
that
was
back
six
years
ago
now,
so
that
just
needs
you're.
Okay,.
D
For
the
flying
frog,
5k
and
the
idea
behind
this
is,
I
think
I
told
you
that
we're
going
to
be
the
third
in
a
fall
series
of
races,
which
puts
us
in
a
great
position,
because
there's
also
going
to
be,
of
course,
individual
awards
for
each
one
of
the
races
that
lead
up
to
ours.
But
then
there's
going
to
be
a
special
award
for
the
series
that
builds
as
you
complete
a
race.
So
if
you're
familiar
with
like
the
spartan
race
system
for
each
race,
you
do
it
builds
a
piece
of
the
overall
metal.
D
We're
the
third
we
think
we'll
have
a
pretty
robust
attendance
in
our
race.
With
that
in
mind,
we
have
been
approached
in
the
past
about
you
know,
trying
to
fund
a
or
help
to
fund
a
local,
501
c
3
nonprofit
that
deals
with
aviation,
education
or
aviation
experiences,
and
there
really
wasn't
one
around
until
fairly
recently.
But
there's
a
group
called
the
altitude
academy,
that's
based
on
saint
helena
and
the
gentleman
who
is
in
charge
of
it
is
a
an
airplane
he's,
a
mechanic.
D
A
p
he's
got
signing
authority.
He
works
at
savannah
with.
I
believe
the
subsidiary
of
american
does
airline
aircraft
maintenance
and
he
also
works
part-time
over
at
arw,
helping
out
on
maintenance
there,
but
he's
really
taking
an
interest
in
getting
the
youth
involved
in
aviation
and
just
letting
them
know
what
the
opportunities
are.
So
our
thought
was
once
we
cover
expenses
and
once
we
put
aside
a
certain
amount
of
seed
money
for
the
following
year,
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
designate
a
portion
of
those
revenues.
D
C
A
D
Not
a
whole
lot,
I
think
it's
because
of
the
newness
of
the
organization.
I
know
they've
taken
a
couple
of
field
trips
out
to
arw
and
they've
worked
with
some
of
the
flight
instructors
out
there
to
do
some
of
the
familiarization
of
the
of
the
aircraft,
and
then
some
of
them
got
a
little
discovery
flight
as
well.
So
I
think
that's
the
goal
is
to
try
to
get
them
out
there
and
get
it
familiar,
but
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
information
yet
because
there's
still
kind
of
forming.
D
Beneficiary
that
they
did
achieve
their
501c3
so
that
they
do
have
that
so
they're
certified
by
secretary
of
state.
So
we
know
that
it's
a
safe
organization,
plus
their
funds,
are
held
by
a
community
foundation
in
low
country,
which
told
me
right
away.
That's
a
good
way
to
go.
Those
guys
are
they're
fantastic
stewards
of
funds
and
and
they
have
a
great
track
record.
So
that
really
made
me
feel
good
about
it.
A
D
F
B
F
F
D
D
D
B
D
D
B
It
was
quite
some
time
ago,
and
I
know
at
the
time
the
county
was
having
some
problems
with
both
staffing
and
procedures
in
the
budget.
So
this
is
an
effect
of
a
very,
very
abbreviated
portion
of
what
is
a
very
detailed
budget
that
you
had
to
put
together.
So
I'm
going
to
encourage
you
one
more
time,
not
necessarily
for
this
budget
for
the
next
time
around,
to
have
those
preliminary
meetings
to
allow
the
board
to
have
enough
information
to
vote
with
knowledge
on
the
budget
and
all
aspects
of
the
budget.
B
D
Well,
the
budget
committee
did
we
did
meet
in
january,
if
you
remember,
and
you
had
and
you
had
the
full
line
item
budget.
So
that's
where
that's
just
this.
This
has
consolidated
that.
So,
basically,
what
you
saw
in
january
is
what
was
submitted
as
a
budget
in
those
line
items,
but
in
order
to
keep
things
streamlined
at
the
board
level.
That's
that's
why
these
are
consolidated,
but.
D
There's
a
separate
system
to
do
that.
Those
transactions
that
does
have
to
interface
with
the
county
system
because
we're
still
a
county
department,
so
there's
always
going
to
be
some
manual
work
there.
Unfortunately,
it's
not
you
can't
export
from
one
to
the
other
it
just
they
don't
speak
to
each
other
and
that's.
C
D
It's
not
not
quite
that
simple,
but
it's
not
it's
not
that
we
have
to
rebuild
it
every
month,
yeah
there's
a
reconciliation
that
goes
through,
which
is
normal,
but
it
definitely
has
streamlined
and
the
the
goal
of
the
finance
department
in
the
airports
really
is
to
add,
probably
at
least
one
more
staff
member,
a
pretty
senior
level
staff
member.
I
think
to
to
do
a
lot
of
that
detail,
accounting
because
the
finance
department
doesn't
have
enough
folks
to
do
it.
They've
built
their
staff,
but
they.
D
D
D
D
D
B
I
think
also
at
the
budget
meeting
you've
been
indicated
with
when
the
chief
retired,
opening
year
ago.
I
guess
time
flies
when
you're
having
fun.
You
might
have
been
a
little
short-handed
on
the
general
areas
inside
for
maintenance
issues.
Having
one
person
wear
two
hats
over
there.
Has
that
been
remedied,
or
are
you
still
kind
of
short
staffed
on
the
on
the
maintenance
issues?
That
plague
is
probably
a
good
choice
is
going
forward
the
maintenance
maintenance
issues
that
should
be
handled
on
the
ga
side.
D
Maintenance
tech
to
come
on
board.
We
are
restructuring
a
little
bit
we're
operation.
Maintenance
will
be
together
instead
of
arf
and
operations
being
together.
So
ours
will
be
only
our
and
then
we'll
opt
to
maintenance
together
to
kind
of
make
sense,
but
we
are
still
advertising
for
positions
there.
It's
it's
not
easy
to
find
staff.
We're
short
staffed
several.
If
anybody
needs
to
know
a
good
admin,
rep
elena's
wearing
two
hats,
now
doing
the
admin
work
and
finance
work,
we
need
to
get
her.
D
D
D
On
hilton
head
island,
who
may
be
very,
very
qualified,
but
don't
look
at
a
beaufort
county
job
posting
because
they
associate
it
with
buffer,
but
this
is
this:
is
a
hilton
head
island
job
opportunity?
You
will
sit
in
hilton
head
island,
so
if
anybody
knows
of
anybody
on
the
island
or
close
by
it
would.
D
D
D
But
that's
one,
those
fine
text
turnover
so
we're
constantly
looking
for
line
text
that
at
hilton
head
we
need
maintenance,
arf,
we're
about
to
be
full
up.
I
believe
I
think
we've
got
a
solid
applicant
for
our
last
position
there
and
then
we
haven't
filled
the
cheap
spot
yet
either.
So
we're
still,
we
haven't
advertised
for
that.
Yet,
though,
because
we've
been
able
to
handle
those
duties,
but
once
we
get
these
all
the
our
positions
stacked
up,
then
we'll
probably
advertise
for
the
chief
so
we're
getting
there,
but
it
is.
B
D
A
D
D
D
D
C
B
D
A
D
D
F
A
D
Is
and
there's
there's
still
some
applications
that
are
out
there
waiting
to
hear
on
one
is
the
bil
application
that
we
submitted
back
at
the
end
of
march,
so
we're
waiting
on
that
we
should
hear
in
late
june
early
july.
I
hope
on
that,
like
I
said,
they're
trying
to
turn
those
around
pretty
quickly
and
then
we've
also
got
requests
into
the
state
to
find
out.
If
they,
you
know,
they
had
a
significant
surplus
at
the
state
level.
So
again
advocacy.
D
D
I
think
I
might
share
that
with
you
guys,
but
I
made
a
little
information
card
for
each
one
of
our
delegations,
so
they
all
have
it
so
tell
them
to
refer
to
that
thing
and
make
sure
that
we
get
the
money
we
ask
for
so
those
are
the
two
biggest
sources.
I
know
we've
got
multiple
other
ones
out
there
as
well,
but
the
bottom
line
is
the
county
has
told
us.
County
council
feels
confident
moving
forward
with
the
project,
because
we've.
C
D
B
B
B
B
By
emails
or
phone
calls
sometime
during
the
month,
also
in
the
next
week,
or
so
we
have
a
committee
structure,
that's
already
set
up
I'll,
send
everybody
just
a
refresher
who's
on
the
committee
posting
pets.
New
members
join
us.
These
are
not
cast
in
stone.
If
there's
a
committee
that
you're
on
that,
you
do
not
wish
to
participate
in
like
another
structure,
although
we'll
just
make
it
and
be
done,
but
the
community
structures
worked
out
well
we'd
like
to
continue
to
move
that
forward.
B
B
Of
may
that's
correct
at
the
airport
and
thank
you
for
being
on
the
phone.
Very
critical
leslie's
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
into
this
ambassador
program
and
it's
an
excellent
program.
It
also
affords
all
board
members
an
opportunity
to
really
get
directly
involved
and
see
what's
happening
at
hilton,
head
airport.
So
if
you've.
B
A
volunteer
position:
it
doesn't
take
a
lot
of
time,
it's
one
or
two
weekend
for
a
four
hour
shift
during
the
whole
summer
period.
I
encourage
you
to
do
that.
It's
a
worthwhile
event
for
the
visitors,
the
island
and,
frankly,
it's
a
worthwhile
event
for
our
board
members
to
get
involved
with
and
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
the
airport
operations
and
on
our
visitors.
So
please.
