A
A
A
A
Second,
brian,
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
raise
the
hand
for
those
there
you
go.
Any
opposed
hearing
on
the
agenda
shall
be
approved,
same
story
with
the
minutes.
Everybody
should
have
read
the
minutes
by
now.
Any
comments,
additions,
changes
to
the
minutes
do
not
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
as
published.
A
A
A
A
A
That's
here,
because
the
terminal
project's
out
for
bid
right
now,
which
is
huge.
Okay,
that's
a
big
milestone
bids
are
due
on
june,
the
9th.
So
we
did
the
pre-bid
meeting
this
past
tuesday,
so
we're
getting
questions
in
from
the
bidders
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
that'll
all
be
pulled
together
and
answered.
There'll
be
two
addenda.
They
go
out
one
tomorrow
and
one
I
think,
maybe
next
week
or
maybe
just
before
the
bid's
open,
maybe
june
1st.
A
A
They
typically
take
july
off
to
give
them
a
break
because
they're
pretty
meeting
heavy
all
year
long,
so
we'll
be
back
with
them
in
august
to
get
that
moving
forward
in
between
that
in
july,
we'll
be
applying
for
that
aip
grant
from
the
faa
for
that
second
10
million
for
the
terminal,
so
by
receiving
the
bids
on
the
ninth
and
having
some
good
bids
in
that
allows
us
to
go
ahead
and
apply
for
that.
Second,
10
million,
so
good
news
on
that.
A
If
everything
kind
of
moves
along
in
in
step
the
way
we
think
it
will
then
we'll
be
looking
to
award,
hopefully
during
september,
so
any
questions
on
what
that
looks
like
I
know
it's
been
a
long
time
since
I
could,
until
I
could,
lay
out
a
bit
of
a
time
frame
for
you
but
we're.
Finally,
in
the
position
to
do
that.
A
That
is
I'd,
call
it
98
percent
complete
right
now,
they're
doing
the
joint
saw,
cutting
and
sealing
today
should
be
done
by
the
end
of
this
week,
and
then
striping
happens
next
week
and
they'll
be
done
by
memorial
day.
So
the
ramp
will
be
completely
finished.
All
the
lights
are
active
sod.
Everything
is
in.
So
all
the
finishing
touches
are
happening,
so
that'll
be
that'll,
be
complete
here
in
about
a
week,
so
exciting
second
project
to
have
complete
there,
a
lot
of
room
there.
A
It's
going
to
give
us,
I
think
I
said
before
that'll
serve
as
a
lay
down
area
and
construction
area
for
the
terminal
and
we'll
be
able
to
fence
that
so
that
you
don't
have
to
have
everybody
applying
for
a
badge
which
saves
a
lot
of
time,
money,
energy
and
all
that
good
stuff
with
the
contractor.
So
it
makes
life
a
little
bit
easier,
at
least
for
those
phases
of
the
project.
A
Somebody's
got
to
ask
me
if
we're
going
to
be
able
to
use
it
this
summer
for
airplanes.
Everybody
asked
me
that,
yes
I'll
ask
it
for
you
and
answer
it
for
you.
Yes,
we
will
be
able
to
use
it
if
we
do
have
backups
or
if
we
have
a
maintenance,
bird
or
something
like
that,
we'll
be
able
to
use
that
this
summer.
So
we
won't
necessarily
have
quite
the
issue
we
had
last
summer
with,
with
airplanes
backed
up
on
the
taxiway
and
stuck
in
all
four
corners
of
the
of
the
airport.
A
A
Well,
I
didn't
tell
you
that
the
story
wouldn't
change,
though
we'll
probably
even
be
able
to
use
it
a
little
bit
during
construction,
but
it'll
be
a
little
bit
more
of
a
choreographed
event
there,
because
there
won't
be
as
much
room
so
even
still
we'll
meet
with
the
tower
and
move
the
airline.
So
everybody
understands
how
things
could
could
work
this
summer.
So
there'll
still
be
some
coordination,
but
that's
good
that
we
have
a
little
bit
extra
room.
A
lot
of
extra
room
out
there.
John.
A
Is
it
possible
for
the
office
to
put
together
a
schedule
of
flights
as
they
exist
or,
as
you
know
them
through
today
or
tomorrow,
end
of
the
week
from
the
various
airlines
just
for
the
summer
yeah
for
the
summer.
I
know
we
don't
have
them
fully
scheduled
yet
yeah
we
just
have
through
june.
That's
all.
We
have
possible
to
get
the
june
schedule
sure
I
can
have
elaine
email
them
out.
We've
got
them
yeah.
I
think
they
might
have
gone
out.
Did
they
go
out?
A
Okay,
we'll
double
check,
but
but
we'll
send
it
back
out.
I
don't
know
if
we've
got
them
on
the
website
or
not,
but
we'll
get
them
out,
but
we
don't
get
all
the
we
don't
have
the
whole
summer
picture.
So
whatever
you
have
would
be
great
sure
all
right
projects,
the
other
one
we
did
apply
for
another
bil
grant.
A
If
you
remember,
I
explained
the
different
grants
that
were
out
there
and
as
of
the
last
meeting,
I
think
maybe
the
notice
of
funding
opportunity
had
just
come
out
for
the
tower
for
the
competitive
tower
grant.
So
we
did
apply
for
that.
That's
had
to
be
an
fa
or
I'm
sorry,
a
federally
contracted
tower
which
ours
is
and
it
has
to
be
owned
by
the
airport
which
ours
is
so
we
did
apply
for
that.
A
The
funding
that
we
applied
for
would
cover
new
consoles,
new
voice,
switching
gear
for
up
in
the
cab
and
then
some
other
kind
of
equipment
and
material
replacements
up
there.
I
don't
know
if
we'll
get
that
as
kind
of
an
odd
angle
on
these
on
the
way
the
administration
framed
these
bil
applications.
A
So
we
tried
to
make
the
case
that
the
employment
the
workforce
comes
into
the
island
from
you
know,
areas
that
are
that
have
difficulties
economically,
but
you
know
I'm
trying
not
to
be
overly
excited
about
an
award
on
that
one.
I'm
not
sure
that
we'll
get
anything
for
the
tower.
If
we
do
I'll
be,
you
know,
pleasantly
surprised,
I'm
not
sure
the
administration
will
look
at
hilton
head
and
see
and
say
you
really
need
money
there.
You
know.
A
Okay,
we're
working
that
in
on
some
parallel
tracks,
though,
to
continue,
but
it's
just
it's
a
tough
one
to
get
some
traction,
because
basically,
every
every
door
we've
opened
so
far
is
no,
but
we're
still
we're
opening
doors
again
and
again
to
see
what
we
can
come
up
with
so
yeah
we're,
definitely
not
stopping
on
that.
It's
just
it's
not
an
easy.
It's
not
an
easy
lift.
A
So
we
currently
don't
have
that,
although
we
do
have
permits
under
which
the
airlines
operate,
this
new
model
will
give
us
a
way
to
more
accurately
kind
of
put
all
the
expenses
of
the
airport
across
different
cost
centers
and
recover
those
expenses.
So
right
now
the
airport
department
itself
is
basically
supporting
the
airport
more
so
than
the
tenants
are,
and
so
we're
going
to
do
that
in
a
more.
A
I
guess
I
hate
to
use
the
word
equitable,
but
in
the
real
sense
of
the
word,
a
more
equitable
way
across
the
board
and
also
have
a
more
predictable
model
so
that,
when
tenants
approach
us
future
tenants
approach,
us
we've
got
a
model
that
we
can
show
them
as
to
how
their
their
costs
will
be
kind
of
assessed
on
the
airport.
So
that's
a
work
in
progress,
but
we're
very
excited
to
have
that
here
when
it,
when
it
comes
to
fruition,
probably
be
towards
the
end
of
the
year.
A
A
So
that
that
just
brings
kind
of
reminder
to
everybody
any
any
business
any
entity
on
the
airport
or
using
the
airport
that
generates
revenue
by
federal
law
by
faa,
sponsor
assurances
has
to
have
an
agreement
with
the
airport
have
to
pay
back
something
to
the
airport.
I
don't
think
that's
a
new
thing,
but
that's
that's
for
anybody.
A
A
They
don't
necessarily
look
at
the
job
opportunity
and
see
that
it's
on
the
island,
so
by
going
through,
indeed
and
being
able
to
kind
of
beef
up
our
our
scope
of
work
or
our
our
offer
so
to
speak,
would
be
a
lot
more
applicants.
So
that's
a
good
news
story,
so
we'll
do
some
interviews
and
hopefully
fill
those
positions
just
an
update
from
the
feds.
We
do
stay
really
close
with
congresswoman
mesa's
office.
She
had
reps
at
a
recent
chamber.
A
I
think
it
was
the
legislative
of
the
government
affairs
committee
is
two
weeks
ago
and
we
attended
that
and
had
a
good
interface
with
that
committee
and
with
with
her
rep
who's
the
the
new
district
rep
who
sits
in
beaufort
his
his
home
offices
at
her
beaufort
office,
so
good
communications
there.
They
did
write
us
a
letter
of
support
for
the
scasday
grant,
so
they
always
are
staying
in
our
corner,
which
is
good.
A
A
We
haven't
have
the
only
commercial
airport,
that's
in
the
alliance,
so
I
did
an
interview
with
the
writer
and
sent
a
lot
of
backup
information
about
both
airports
to
talk
about
the
kind
of
the
vibrancy
of
both
airports
and
the
relevance
of
both
airports
and
what
that
means
to
economic
development
and
what
those
airports
contribute
not
just
to
the
county
overall,
but
to
the
two
municipalities
in
which
you're
located.
Obviously
the
town
of
hilton
head
island
benefits.
A
Incredibly
from
having
the
airport
sit
here
in
the
city
of
beaufort
benefits,
incredibly
from
having
arw
sit
in
the
city,
so
we're
trying
to
tell
that
story
and
that
will
be
coming
out
in
a
I
think,
a
near
future
publication.
So
if
anybody
pays
attention
to
the
southern
carolina
alliance,
look
for
that,
if
not
I'll,
probably
get
a
copy
and
make
sure
that
it
gets
out
to
you.
A
I
did
let
the
south
carolina
aviation
association
know
about
that
as
well
too,
so
they
can
get
it
across
the
state,
because
publicity
is
a
good
thing,
just
quick
notes
on
arw
another
really
strong
fuel
sales
month.
If
you
look
at
the
backup
slides,
you
can
see
just
tremendous
activity
up
there.
Yesterday
we
had,
I
went
outside
and
there
was
a
line
of
of
two
aircraft
getting
ready
to
depart,
and
paul
told
me
that,
just
before
I
went
out,
there
had
been
a
lot
of
four
aircraft
getting
ready
to
depart.
So
it's
a
busy
place.
A
A
So
it's
an
airport
that
is
very,
very
relevant
to
the
economic
picture
up.
There
brings
a
lot
of
people
of
a
very
selective
demographic
to
the
city
of
beaufort,
which
is
great
for
us
and
great
for
the
city,
and
it's
just
a
it's
a
success
story
up
there.
I
think
that
new
that
new
terminal
gets
great
comments.
We
had
folks
come
in
and
and
just
kind
of
stand
there
and
look
around
when
they
walk
through
the
lobby
doors.
So
it's
a
huge
improvement.
We're
going
to
work
on
the
exterior
of
the
building.
A
Next,
we
did
receive
hospitality
tax
grant
from
beaufort
county,
so
we're
going
to
apply
that
as
a
matching
fund
to
some
south
carolina
aeronautics
dollars
that
we're
going
to
apply
for,
and
that's
actually
won
your
action
items
today,
but
anyway,
that's
going
to
allow
us
to
do
a
nice,
robust
project
on
the
outside
of
the
terminal
too.
So
looking
forward
to
that
next
excuse
me
on
that.
What
was
the
amount
of
the
grant
from
the
county
74?
What
do
we
get?
Was
the
75
states?
I
think
it
was
75.
That's
in
that
75.
A
Did
we
also
receive,
maybe
I'm
off
target?
Did
we
also
receive
a
marketing
grant
from
the
county
we'd
for
hilton
head?
We
received
30
000
marketing
funds
from
county
h,
tax
money
as
well.
Thank
you
also,
at
arw.
We
are
moving
forward
on
the
t
hangers,
so
we'll
be
working
through
we
got.
We
have
arpa
funds
that
we're
going
to
use
to
work
on
the
design
of
that
so
that'll
be
starting
here
soon.
A
Looking
at
doing
two
12
unit
t
hanger
buildings
out
there,
so
we're
very
excited
about
that,
and
that
was
a
product
of
the
past
project
where
we
had
and
I'm
going
to
say
thanks
to
walmart,
they
brought
sewer.
They
were
required
to
bring
sewer
across
the
road
which
we
were
then
able
to
tap
into
which
relieved
us
of
the
septic
field
and
replacement
field
which
freed
up
real
estate
for
the
hanger
project.
So
when
people
ask
me,
why
does
it
take
so
doggone
long?
A
That's
why
it
takes
a
doggone
long,
there's,
never
an
easy
project.
You
know,
there's
always
15
steps
to
get
through
and
you
you
end
up,
relying
and
depending
on
outside
agencies,
to
get
their
work
done
before
you
can
get
your
work
done.
So
it's
all
coming
together
now
and
we're
moving
forward
on
t
hangers.
Chris
knows:
we've
got
a
huge
need
up
there.
I
think
our
list
is
paul
can
chime
in
if
he
needs
to,
but
I
know
we're
we're
over
60
people
on
the
list
and
those
are
people
who
have
actually
paid
a
deposit.
A
So,
theoretically,
I
would
say
at
least
65
or
70
percent
of
those
are
are
legitimate.
You
know
they
would.
They
would
take
a
hanger.
If
there
was
one
is.
Are
we
going
to
use
a
beaufort
executive
airport
improvement
committee?
Are?
Are
we
going
to
be
involved
in
that
for
the
design
on
the
t?
Hangers?
A
I
think
you
you
certainly
could
yeah.
I
mean.
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
just
to
just
to
kind
of
go
through,
and
so
that
way
we
we
would
probably
be
the
only
pilots
in
the
design
portion,
sure
yeah.
I
think
it's
now
grant
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
cookie
cutter
thing
but
yeah.
I
think
it's
important
to
you
just
to
have
you
guys
involved
and
then
you
can
give
the
updates
at
the
meetings
too
yeah.
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
I
think
that's,
as
you
know,
john.
A
It's
a
four-person
committee
that
chris
heads
up
with
the
mark,
trey
and
nick,
are
participating,
but
we
do
have
some
pilots
involved,
and
that
would
be
great
if
you
made
it
somewhat
inclusive
all
right.
Consider
that
your
project,
chris
okay,
I'll,
add
that
to
my
list
my
wife
will
be
so
happy
yeah
there
you
go
but
you're
you're
now
recorded
as
offering
that
I
know
I
know
I
knew
it
was
being
really
enjoyable
now.
A
Okay,
that
is
all
I've
got
for
the
update,
any
questions
for
me
leslie.
Could
you
comment
on
the
recent
aircraft
accident
at
arw
where
it
went
off
the
runway?
Oh
boy,
that's
a
that
was
a
party
yeah.
It
was
a
minor
mishap,
thank
goodness
no
injuries
and
I
guess
overall
kind
of
minimal
damage
to
the
aircraft,
but
don't
know
exactly
how
things
happen.
But
what
happened
is
there's
a
extra
400.
A
I
don't
know
kind
of
a
small
heavy,
but
small
aircraft
yeah
they
ran
off
the
end
of
the
runway,
was
taken
off
going
south
and,
thank
goodness,
stayed
right
on
the
center
line
of
the
runway
and
as
they
went
through
the
safety
area,
they
were
able
to
keep
the
nose
up
a
little
bit
so
that
they
didn't
do
any
kind
of
flip
in
the
marsh
when
they
got
into
the
marsh.
But
everything
went
about
as
smoothly
as
a
mishap
can
go.
A
They
did
obviously
have
a
prop
strike
so
that
those
sheared
off
some
damage
to
the
front
landing
gear
as
it
entered
the
marsh,
but
it
was
almost
like
a
natural
emass
stopped
the
aircraft,
no
injuries
to
the
pilot
or
the
one
passenger
who
was
in
the
aircraft,
no
no
damage
to
fuel
systems,
hydraulic
systems.
So
there
were
no
no
hazmat
issues
that
we
had.
A
I
was
on
my
way
from
hilton
head
to
beaufort.
When
I
got
the
call
about
it,
paul
dolan
called
me
from
vacation,
so
god
bless
him.
He
was
on
the
phone.
A
good
bit
that
day
did
a
lot
of
coordination
to
get
the
right
entities
involved,
huge
kudos
to
chief
bruce
klein
of
ladies
island
saint
helena
fire
district,
though
those
guys
are
always
on
it.
They've
helped
us
out
a
lot
in
the
past.
A
They
were
there
and
the
sheriff's
office
responded,
and
so
they
had
everything
basically
taken
care
of
as
far
as
faa
involvement
and
that
sort
of
thing
went
before
I
arrived
and
then
steve
arrived.
So
we
we
then
kind
of
took
over,
but
by
that
point
chief
had
been
in
touch
with
the
faa,
took
all
the
photographs
that
the
faa
wanted
and
submitted
those
to
the
faa
so
that
they
were
satisfied
that
we
could
then
move
the
aircraft
from
outside
the
safety
area.
A
You
know
and
recover
the
aircraft,
so
we
I
shut
the
airport
down,
knowing
that
we're
going
to
have
to
have
a
crane
out
there,
and
then
the
the
aircraft
owner
called
the
crane
coordinated
that
you
know
nothing
happens
quickly
after
business
hours.
So
the
incident
happened
somewhere
around
18
30,
6,
30
p.m,
and
I
think
the
crane
showed
up
2200,
steve,
give
or
take
so
steve,
roth
steve,
and
I
were
out
there
to
about
two
fishing,
the
aircraft
out
of
the
marsh,
and
I
wish
we
were
doing
it.
A
We
got
the
watch,
which
was
very
interesting,
but
I
tell
you
the
folks
at
certified.
Crane
and
buford
deserve
two
thumbs
up
too.
They
are
they're.
Good
they've
helped
us
out
before
so
they
know
what
they're
doing
and
a
couple
of
them
are.
Pilots
too,
which
is
good
because
they
know
airplanes,
but
as
it
so
happens,
the
aircraft
owner
had
done
one
of
his
careers
in
aircraft
salvage.
So
he
called
the
crane
company
and
they
were
able
to
talk
through
how
to
rig
it
up
to
move
the
aircraft
and
it
was.
It
was
perfect.
A
It
didn't
aircraft
didn't
move
at
all
when
it
was
slung
and
brought
back
to
the
surface.
Just
did
a
fantastic
job,
but
because
the
aircraft
was
out
in
the
marsh
a
little
bit,
they
had
to
get
a
large
crane
because
they
had
to
reach
out
and
get
it
wasn't.
A
straight
vertical
snatch,
so
interesting
operation.
A
You
always
learned
something
from
that
thankful
that
we
had
the
good
first
responders
on
board
and
a
great
crane
company
frankly
to
recover
that
aircraft,
because
it
really
could
if
we
were
somewhere
else,
it
could
take
a
day
or
more
to
get
a
crane
out
there.
So
relatively
fast
response,
not
bad
no
damage
to
the
airport.
So
all
in
all
about
as
smooth
as
a
mishap
can
go,
was
it
pilot
error.
A
I
have
no
idea
how
early
to
tell
it
was
too
early
to
tell
it
yes
too
early
to
say
yeah
I
mean
I'm
certainly
not
going
to
speculate.
I
didn't
see
it
happen
and
I'm
going
to
let
other
folks
figure
that
out
john
was
that
aircraft
a
a
tenant
at
the
airport,
a
transient
and
do
you
know
if
he
was
just
out
there
on
the
field?
Stop
he
was
out
there
in
business.
What
were
the
circumstances
transit?
Who
was
actually
in
training
on
a
different
aircraft
type
with
executive
flight
training?
A
A
A
Okay,
move
on
to
unfinished
business.
Anybody
have
anything
from
last
month,
they'd
like
to
bring
back
to
the
table
hearing
none
we'll
move
on
to
new
business,
john
okay,
I
think
do
we
have.
I
think
we
left
two
items
on
right.
Yes,
okay,
so
the
two
items
we
have
one's
for
arw
and
that's
the
that's
kind
of
the
easier
one,
the
grant
it's
a
request
to
apply
for
a
grant
okay.
A
So
it's
what
I
just
talked
about
with
the
exterior
renovations
of
the
terminal
and
we
do
intend
to
apply
to
south
carolina
aeronautics
for
a
matching
grant.
They
do
a
60,
we
do
a
40.,
but
we
do
intend
to
apply
for
that
and
in
order
to
apply
for
a
grant,
we
do
need
to
take
it
through
council.
So
first
step
is
you
guys
are
proving
it
second
step.
It
goes
to
committee
and
then
it
moves
on
to
then
we
already
have
the
matching
grant.
A
We
have
the
matching
funds,
I
should
say
correct:
okay,
well,
you
need
to
vote
on
that,
so
you
can
vote
on
that
and
that
will
go
into
the
other.
We
need
a
motion
maker
to
recommend
the
approval
of
beaufort
county
executive
airport
applying
for
the
south
carolina
aeronautics
grant
in
support
of
ex
of
the
exterior
terminal
renovations,
brian
vogt,
chris.
Second,
any
discussion
on
the
motion
doing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
virtually!
Thank
you.
Any
opposed
hearing
none
motion
passes
all
right.
A
We've
worked
on
it
for
quite
a
long
time
done
multiple
appraisals
and
review
appraisals
on
it.
We're.
Finally,
at
the
point
where
the
faa
has
approved
a
dollar
figure,
we've
talked
to
the
owner
and
we're
at
a
place
where
we
have
agreement,
and
so
in
order
to
purchase
that
property,
the
general
fund
will
basically
loan
the
airport,
the
money
to
purchase
the
property
and
then
because
of
the
fact
that
this
purchase
is
taking
place
within
what
is
what's
called.
A
A
That
I
don't
know
yet.
The
cfo
is
working
on
that
and
I
don't
know
that
he's
gotten
clarification
from
the
senior
administration.
Yet,
if
we
do,
I
think
would
be
a
pretty
low
amount.
I'm
not
sure,
there's
a
point
to
doing
that
now,
because
it
looks
like
we'll
be
able
to
reimburse
those
funds
so
quickly
and
who's.
The
holder
of
the
lease
for
the
property
is
the
airport,
the
lease
the
lessor
or
is
the
county,
the
less
or
the
county
is
okay,
john.
What's
the
proximity
of
that
lot
to
the
new
tarmac
and
so
forth?
A
A
A
Any
discussion
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion,
if
not
all
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
I-
and
I
thank
you
for
those
virtually
thank
you
and
he
opposed
bringing
on
the
motion
is
approved
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much.
That's
all
I
have,
mr
chairman,
all
right.
Thank
you,
john
nice
report.
A
All
right,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
committee
reports
and
leslie
we're
going
to
start
out
with
you,
since
you
have
the
most
action
going
at
the
moment.
Well,
I
also
again,
I
want
to
thank
leslie
publicly
for
organizing
the
effort
at
hilton
head
airport
this
summer
with
a
volunteer
crew
to
support
both
incoming
and
outgoing
passengers
at
the
airport.
A
It'll
be
an
excellent
program
and
once
again,
I'm
going
to
urge
board
members,
some
of
whom
have
not
yet
decided
to
participate
in
a
voluntary
manner
to
help
support
the
program
to
please
do
so.
It
really
requires
only
one,
preferably
two,
four
or
more,
if
you
can
four
hour
sessions
at
the
airport
during
the
summer
months
and
there
are
blocks
available.
So
please
contact
leslie,
offer
some
support
here
and
that's
both
true
for
south
of
the
airport.
Folks,
the
hilton
head
side
and
north
of
the
broad
up
at
the
beaufort
executive
airport.
A
A
Just
for
the
record
also,
have
you
contacted
the
hilton
head,
beaufort
chamber
of
commerce
and
if
they
offered
any
support
for
the
program
I
have
been
in
touch
with
hilton
head
chamber?
Yes,
we
have
any
support
from
them.
I
haven't
gotten
any
people
yet,
but
we're
hoping
we'll
get
some
support.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
Any
questions
leslie
on
the
summer
program
will
be
looking
for
names
to
show
up
on
that
volunteer
list:
jim
communications
marketing,
no
new
report-
thank
you
that
was
it
on
the
arw
chris
yeah,
just
a
couple
of
things
I
did
swing
back
in
since
I
hadn't
been
there
in
a
little
bit
to
the
greening
area.
Just
like
john
had
said,
it's
a
lot
a
lot
nicer,
it's
a
huge
improvement.
The
design
was,
I
think,
excellent.
A
A
They're
still
working
on
the,
though
I
have
to
get
up
with
the
person
moving
forward
with
the
private
side
on
the
on
the
hanger,
and
that's
really
on
me
paul
had
given
me
his
number
and
I
just
hadn't,
been
in
town
to
to
contact
him
so
I'll,
be
contacting
him,
hopefully
tomorrow
and
finding
out
kind
of
kind
of
more
about
where
he's
at,
because
we
still
don't
have
a
lease
on
that.
If
I'm
mistaken
correct,
we
we
don't
have
a
lease
right.
A
Okay,
right,
we
don't
have
the
lease
they've
he's,
got
it
to
review
and
get
comments
back,
yeah,
okay,
yeah
great
and
chris.
Are
you
talking
about
the
leaseback
opportunity,
the
large
box,
hanger
yeah,
large
large
box,
hanger
yeah,
and
I
believe
that's
that's
primarily
it
other
than
we
have.
I
think
I
just
saw
something
go
out.
I
got
an
email
regarding
the
race,
the
frogmore
race
october
october,
on
on
that,
and
they
had
a
meeting.
A
Beaufort
aviation
association
did
a
meeting
with
atc
from
the
guys
from
the
air
station
on
a
saturday
that
I
heard
went
real
really
well,
I
wasn't
able
to
attend
those
out
of
town
that
reminds
me
that
buford
aviation
associates
also
hosting
along
with
the
help
of
lockheed
martin.
I
think
nick
you
guys
are
involved
my
career
day
aviation
career
day.
A
I
think
it's
june
4th
I'm
actually
out
of
town,
unfortunately,
but
jim's
put
that
together
a
couple
of
times
and
it's
kind
of
grown
in
popularity,
but
I
think
it's
a
great
way
to
bring
folks
to
the
airport
and
then
expose
them
to
different
types
of
aviation
opportunities,
employment
opportunities
and
let
them
know
the
different
career
fields
in
aviation.
Everybody
thinks
that
you
just
have
to
fly,
but
there's
you
know
a
million
different
things.
You
can
do
related
to
aviation,
so
there'll
be
a
lot
of
different
aviation
related
industries
represented
at
this.
A
I
don't
know
to
call
it
a
job,
fair,
really,
but
just
kind
of
an
awareness
type
event.
So
really
look
forward
to
that
and
I
don't
think
there's
a
better
venue
to
host
that
than
the
airport.
So
we're
happy
to
be.
I
guess
kind
of
an
in-kind
sponsor
is
how
the
airport
considers
itself
but
to
be
able
to
provide
that
venue
to
do
that
and
jim's
done
a
good
job,
putting
that
together
for
it-
and
I
believe,
they're
also
doing
some
flights
for
for
young
young
people
to
just
give
them
an
experience.
A
Well,
the
the
pilots
are
flying
some
of
those
students.
You
know
school
students
who
are
getting
exposed
to
aviation
too,
so
hoping
that
you
put
a
few
of
those.
You
know
young
youngsters
in
an
airplane
and
then
the
the
bug
bites
them
and
and
then
we'll
have
some
some
future
aviation
career
folks
in
there.
So
there
I
think
everybody
up.
A
There
is
really
putting
their
best
foot
forward
to
further
aviation
and
heaven
knows
we
need
it
with
a
pilot
shortage
and
everything
else
right
now,
so
I
know
this
will
take
a
while
to
to
germinate,
but
the
seeds
are
being
planted
and
nothing
but
good
can
come
from
it
yeah
and
on
the
last
part
of
that
kind
of
piggy
backing
off
the
the
more
of
the
excitement.
That's
happening
at
arw
from
from
the
staff
at
arw.
A
I'm
hearing
a
lot
more
input
of
people
asking
about
charter,
whether
there's
any
private
charter
around
available
in
buford,
which
is
something
we
really
had
never
heard.
That
was
not
talked
about
at
all,
so
interesting
business
opportunity
would
be
an
interesting
business
opportunity
for
that
new
aircraft
from
the
scene
to
the
air
all
right.
So
I
also
want
to
thank
john
and
chris,
along
with
the
rest
of
your
committee,
great
job
over
at
arw.
A
That's
me
have
nothing
to
report
on
the
finance
issue
right
now
and
the
hilton
head
airport
improvement
committee,
we've
kind
of
taken
a
bit
of
a
back
seat
in
the
last
year
year
and
a
half
or
two
john
of
course,
has
and
steve
had
their
hands
full
over
on
the
commercial
side
of
the
airport.
Taking
an
enormous
amount
of
time
and
effort
and
arw
was
the
focus
it
needed
a
lot
more
help
than
hilton
had
did
and
fortunately
got
it.
A
But
the
airport
improvement
committee
on
the
hilton
head
site
will
now
start
to
get
a
little
more
active
and
the
areas
that
we
plan
to
deal
with.
As
I
alluded
to
before
some
of
the
tea
hangers.
We
have
a
waiting
list
over
at
hilton
head
we're
sold
out
the
tea,
hangers
ting,
hang
and
maintenance,
and
we
will
have
a
discussion
with
john
regarding
the
the
vendor
agreements
that
the
faa
requires
for
the
airport.
So
over
the
next
30
to
60
days
john's
time
permitting.
A
A
a
little
more
than
half
of
what
it
is
over
here,
originally
doesn't
provide.
Yet
a
and
savannah
out
of
signature
is,
I
believe,
by
47
fujita,
so
quite
a
disparity
in
fuel
prices,
not
much.
I
think
we
can
do
about
it,
but
it's
one
of
my
favorite
topics,
especially
at
hilton
head,
because
the
folks
who
visit
our
airport
are
paying
a
substantial
premium
for
fuel.
In
fact,
hilton
had
a
dollar
fifty
more
a
gallon
than
down
a
savannah.
A
Yeah
logic
defies
me,
but
I'm
sure
somebody
would
have
an
explanation
is
that
do
they
have
any
self-serve
over
there?
They
may
have
to
change
the
pumps
to
do
deal
with
two
digits
actually
actually
self-service
savannah,
which
I
didn't
mention
is
is
549
if
they
wanted
to
pull
up
to
a
pump
and
pump
it
themselves,
so
great
disparity
in
fuel
crisis.
A
So
that's
all
I
have
for
the
hilton
head
airport
and
improving
committee
I'll
just
remember
that
amanda
brian
and
tom
join
me,
and
we
will
be
getting
together
to
discuss
that.
Okay,
any
other
business,
john,
anything
else
that
you
have
steve,
nothing
with
that,
we'll
go
back
to
our
public
comment
and
and
well.
We
have
to
public
today
we're
like
glenn.
A
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
glenn
stanford
town
of
hilton,
head
island.
I
just
want
to
express
appreciation
to
you
leslie
and
to
the
rest
of
the
committee
for
the
ambassador
program.
It
has
really
made
a
positive
impact
on
our
tourists
arriving
and
departing
here,
and
so
you've
done
a
wonderful
job
on
that
and
then
secondly,
john,
you
may
not
have
it
now,
but
I
would
like
to
be
kept
up
to
date
with
passenger
traffic
going
through
med
airport
arrivals
as
well
as
departures,
just
see
where
the
trends
are
great.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
Leslie
in
the
broadest
terms,
who
are
you
looking
for
to
be
an
ambassador
so
that,
if
I
hit
on
somebody
well,
the
very
general
requirements
are
they
need
to
be
18
years
old
and
a
resident
of
beaufort
county,
because
we
want
people
that
live
here
and
understand
the
low
country,
but
are
also
in
a
welcoming
nature
that
they
want
to
welcome
all
our
visitors.
That's
what
it's
about
for
our
visitors.
A
Also,
it
has
to
be
someone
who
can
stand
for
four
hours,
and
you
know
it's.
It's
pretty
intense
you're
out
there
moving
the
lines
and
talking
to
people,
and
I
asked
I
had
one
one:
violent
potential
volunteer
that
asked
me
about
do:
have
they
got
coffee
there
yet
because
I'll
need
my
coffee
break,
and
I
said
well:
is
it
all
inside?
Yes,
it's
all
inside.
A
A
A
A
It
is
absolutely
inconvenient
for
our
owners
to
not
be
able
to
access
I'm
going
to
call
it.
Peace,
maintenance,
work
for
the
airport,
whether
it's
mechanical
or
whether
it's
superficial
whatever,
but
I
really
would
encourage
the
board
to
see
what
flexibility
we
have
in
creating
contracts
that
allow
this
to
happen.
A
We
may
not
have
enough
business
for
somebody
to
be
on
the
airport
100
of
their
time,
but
if
we
could
have
people
come
to
the
airport
twice
a
month
or
on
a
new
basis,
I
think
we
would
be
serving
your
clientele,
my
my
associates
in
a
much
higher
level
and
I
think,
would
behoove
us
to
look
at
that
as
a
service
to
our
to
our
pilots.
Thank
you
all
right,
thank
you,
david,
and
that
is
an
item
that
we
will
discuss
and
you
know
we
know
to
a
certain
extent.
A
John's
hands
are
somewhat
tied
here,
but
we'll
look
to
see
if
there's
any
flexibility
in
dealing
with
the
issue.
I'd
also
like
to
one
little
follow
up
on
the
point
that
you
made
on
the
gullah
folks
here
excellent
suggestion.
If
we
can
work
out
some
space
in
the
new
terminal,
certainly
if
there's
any
space
in
the
summit
terminal
to
allow
a
representative
to
appear,
they
have
and
many
of
our
islanders,
don't
even
know
they
have
an
outstanding
tour.
A
A
gullah
tour,
that's
done
on
a
bus,
and
if
you
haven't
taken
that,
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
explore
that
it's
a
very,
very
interesting
tour
and
very
historic,
tour,
very
informative
and
maybe
leslie.
You
can
contact
those
folks
and
see
at
the
very
least,
if
there's
some
material,
they
can
provide
to
the
ambassadors
that
we
can
include
with
airline
schedules
or
anything
else
that
we
might
have
to
hand
out
okay.
A
That
might
be
a
way
of
getting
the
word
out
for
them
also
and
I'm
remiss
in
neglecting
to
mention
it
and
for
those
of
you
thinking
of
volunteering.
Please
execute
your
thought,
but
leslie
and
steve
put
together
an
outstanding
training
program
both
over
at
arf
and
then
took
the
folks
over
to
the
main
terminal
behind
some
of
the
security
fences,
to
explain
how
things
really
operate
and
what
the
role
of
the
ambassador
will
and
will
not
be
while
at
the
airport,
so
so
steve.
Thank
you
for
your
efforts
as
well.
A
A
Your
physical
attendance
would
be
very
much
appreciated,
especially
for
the
folks
who
are
looking
at
us
from
the
from
the
monitor
at
the
moment,
1
30
over
in
the
viewfinder
council
chambers,
unless
out
of
another
note
otherwise
notified,
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
jim
ii,
brian
all
the
favorite,
so
please
say
aye
aye
opposed
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
