Description
You are watching the Charlotte City Council Community Recovery Task Force Committee Meeting (Airport) from Thursday, May 14th. Thanks for watching.
To learn more about this committee and more, please visit Charlottenc.gov/citycouncil/committees.
A
Lutely
an
attempt
to
pull
all
that
together
and
to
reach
a
point
where
we're
deep
and
ask
a
recommendation
to
City
Council.
So
the
first
portion
of
this
meeting
will
be
a
recap
of
Brent,
Kegel
and
Hayley
Gentry
of
what
conversations
have
taken
place
so
far
and
what
accommodations
we
are
able
to
meet
or
are
considering
making
and
so
for
the
purposes
of
that
I
will
hand
over
to
Brent
Kegel.
A
B
Sir
Thank
You
mr.
Driggs,
so
over
the
last
three
to
four
weeks
as
as
coven
19
has
started.
We
have
been
working
with
concessionaires
and
the
airline's
really
all
of
our
stakeholders
to
look
at
how
we
all
deal
with
this
and,
as
we
said
early
on
in
this,
our
goal
here
is
to
figure
out
how
we
all
survived
the
crisis,
move
through
the
crisis
and
are
ready
to
come
back
to
full
operational
strength
as
the
recovery
starts.
So
with
that
in
mind,
we
have
been
looking
at
the
host
and
the
parody's
contracts.
B
They
are
different
contracts
and
they
are
not
the
same.
However,
they
are
similar
and
so
early
on.
We,
the
first
thing
that
we
did
is
we
deferred
April,
May
and
June
rents
for
both
host
and
parities,
and
we
really
did
that
so
that
we
could
assess
the
the
effects
and
and
really
what
rent
was
due,
because
we
knew
that
starting
in
March
middle
of
March,
both
of
the
contracts
have
rent
relief
provisions
and
starting
in
March.
We
knew
that
those
rent
relief
provisions
would
be
triggered.
So
we
wanted
to
number
one
help.
B
So
if
passenger
traffic
declines
to
less
than
65
percent
of
prior
year,
both
both
contracts
have
rent
relief
provisions
to
kick
in
and
and
obviously
we
are
far
below
65%
of
prior
year,
because
we
have
seen
declines
of
90
to
95
percent.
So
both
of
those
provisions
have
kicked
in
now,
as
we
did
that.
We
also
acknowledge
that
next
fiscal
year
is
going
to
be
a
tough
year.
And
that's
because
whether
or
not
we
use
our
base
case
projection
or
the
worst
case
or
something
in
between.
B
Now
we're
cautiously
optimistic
that
those
declines
that
that
the
recovery
will
start
to
help
us
get
back
to
a
new
normal,
but
still
there's
going
to
be
a
period
where
we
are
trying
to
recover.
So
with
that,
we
looked
at
a
few
things.
So
let
me
start
with
some
of
the
items
that
are
expenses
for
the
airport
that
we
have
worked
through
and
that
the
team
has
really
spent
hours,
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
cover
expenses
of
the
airport.
That
will
then
accrue
a
benefit
to
all
of
the
tenants.
B
The
airlines
and
the
concessionaires
I'm
gonna
focus
on
some
of
the
items
that
are
specific
to
concessionaires.
But
again,
these
are
not
just.
There
are
also
other
things
that
the
airlines
will
will
benefit
from.
The
first
is
before
Kovan
19.
We
were
working
with
the
Charlotte
area,
transit
system
or
Katz,
to
introduce
a
new
program
that,
if
you
are
an
airport
employee,
not
in
not
an
employee
of
the
aviation
department
but
an
employee
who
works
at
the
airport
and
is
enrolled
in
the
employee
parking
program,
so
American
Airlines,
the
concessionaires.
B
Everyone
has
employees
who
are
in
the
employee
parking
program.
There
are
about
12,000
or
there
were
pre
Kove
in
nineteen
12,000
employees
in
the
program.
So
what
we
are
doing
is,
and
what
we
are
working
on
is
a
making
part
of
the
program,
an
annual
transit
pass
available
to
all
of
those
employees
who
are
in
the
program
now
that
would
be
at
no
cost
to
the
employee
in
normal
times.
B
The
second
thing
that
we've
looked
at
are
some
of
the
pass-through
costs
that
the
airport-
these
are
services
that
the
airport
pays
for
and
then
the
cost
of
those
services
are
passed
through
to
the
tenants.
So
what
are
some
good
examples?
Pest
control
in
the
building
trash
service
in
the
building,
those
are
contracts
that
the
airport
holds,
so
we
pay
the
contract,
and
then
we
pass
those
costs
on
on
a
pro-rata
basis
on
to
the
tenants.
B
So
another
area
in
the
contract,
with
the
concessionaires
concessionaires,
are
responsible
for
furnishings
in
the
common
in
the
food
courts.
So
to
speak
so
in
the
atrium
those
furnishings
when
they
get
refreshed
that
is
part
of
the
contracted
responsibility
of
the
concessionaires,
primarily
hosts.
So
we
have
already
discussed
with
host
that
we
will
take
on
the
cost.
It's
a
it's
actually
time
for
us
to
update
furnishings
in
the
atrium
in
the
food
court,
and
so
we
will
take
that
on
as
a
cost
of
the
airport.
B
I
do
not
have
a
cost
estimate
on
that,
but
it
is.
It
is
certainly
in
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
and
again
that
is
something
that
we
will
utilize
stimulus
funds
to
pay
for
as
an
airport
cost,
taking
it
off
of
the
the
backs
of
the
concessionaire.
So
to
speak.
During
this
crisis,
the
other
thing
that
we
are
looking
at
is
how
can
we
assist
the
concessionaires
with
marketing?
B
And
so-
and
this
is
true
for
airlines
concessionaires
for
the
airport-
we
really
are
starting
to
think
about
a
marketing
campaign
to
re-instill
customer
confidence
in
the
safety
of
travel.
So
that
is
something
that
the
airport
we'll
take
on
as
a
responsibility
of
the
airport,
working
with
the
tenants
to
create
a
marketing
campaign,
and
we
will
pay
for
that
again
utilizing
stimulus
funds,
a
few
other
things
that
we
are
still
evaluating
are
a
request
from
concessionaires
because
they
have
a
profit
sharing
arrangement
theirs.
B
They
have
requested
flexibility
with
how
the
profit
sharing
the
annual
settlement
goes
for
FY
2018
into
the
weeds
of
that
we
are
open
to
that
and
we
we
want
to
be
flexible
and
how
we
settle
up
the
fiscal
year
20
year.
End
profit
sharing
another
thing-
and
this
is
pertinent,
especially
to
the
AC
DB
providers
or
smaller
providers,
is
the
contract
requires
an
annual
certified
audit
or
an
an
annual
audit
by
a
certified
accountant.
B
The
request
has
been
to
allow
the
corporate
CFO
or
CEO
to
conduct
that
audit
internally
and
certify
it
under
their
signature,
so
that
the
so
that
they
don't
have
to
bear
the
expense
of
that
of
hiring
a
dedicated
audit,
firm
or
accounting
firm
again
we're
okay,
with
that,
we
are
working
through
how
to
accommodate
that.
But
again,
that's
something
that
we're
looking
at
and
we
really
are.
B
We
think
it's
reasonable,
given
the
cash
crunch
that
everybody
is
experiencing
right
now,
a
couple
other
things
that
we
are
still
working
through,
that
our
legal
team
is
working
through
and
Hayley's
team
is
working
through
in
the
host
contract.
There
is
a
minimum
annual
guarantee
and
without
getting
into
the
weeds
of
what
that
means
there.
There
is
a
minimum
annual
guarantee
that
would
that
would
apply
to
fiscal
year
20
and
it's
calculated
based
on
fiscal
year
19
revenues
since
fiscal
year.
B
20
is
an
odd
year
where
we
had
three
good
quarters
and
one
quarter
of
no
revenues.
There
needs
to
be
for
lack
of
a
better
term.
There
needs
to
be
some
sort
of
mag
adjustment
or
mag
relief
in
the
current
fiscal
year,
and
so
we
are
working
with
and
again
we
think
that's
a
reasonable
request,
but
that
is
going
to
require
a
little
bit
more
legal
review
and
likely
will
require
that
either
through
this
task
force
or
just
directly
from
the
aviation
department
from
myself
that
we
talked
to
mr.
B
Jones,
the
city
manager,
to
authorize
a
temporary
or
one-time
amendment
to
the
contract.
Again,
I'm
not
I'm,
not
overly
concerned
about
that.
But
there
are
some
things
that
have
to
be
worked
through
on
the
legal
side
and
on
the
approval
side
related
to
the
minimum
annual
Gant
guarantee.
But
we
we
think,
that's
basically
a
reasonable
request.
B
The
other
couple
things
that
have
come
out
without
going
into
the
entire
list,
I
will
say.
Last
week
we
got
a
request
from
host
that
has
several
items
on
it
for
us
to
consider.
The
mag
relief
was
one
of
those
things.
There
are
also
rent
deferrals,
a
request
for
rent
deferrals
in
the
first
half
of
next
fiscal
year,
so
that
would
be
July
through
December
with
a
repayment
period
starting
in
January.
B
So
there
is
no
percent
rent
due
because
you
know
a
percentage
of
zero
is
zero,
but
once
those
shops
reopen
and
start
to
have
sales,
we
believe
it's
reasonable
to
say
that
percent
rent
always
applies
to
sales.
If
sales
are
being
made,
then
the
percent
rent
applies
to
that
where
we're
looking
at
is
on
the
minimum
annual
guarantees
and
the
fixed
Reds
and
providing
either
deferrals
or
the
the
parody's
contract.
B
That
then
has
a
ripple
effect
on
airport
revenues,
which
then
ripples
into
airline
cost
cost
per
employment.
As
mr.
Minerva
stated
last
week,
every
dollar
of
non
airline
revenues
that
we
do
not
collect
results
in
an
additional
cost.
In
effect
on
the
airline
side,
because
it's
a
closed
system,
so
to
speak,
if
you
push
the
balloon
on
one
side,
it
pops
out
on
the
other
and
so
our
solution.
B
For
that
as
we
work
through,
this
is
as
as
the
group
knows,
there
is
a
135
million
dollars
of
stimulus
funds
that
the
federal
government
made
available
to
us
and
under
those
requirements
we
have
to
use
those
funds
to
pay
airport
or
aviation
department
expenses.
So,
as
revenues
decline,
we
have
made
cuts
to
our
operating
budget,
but
that
still
yields
a
CPE
or
cost
per
in
plane
passenger,
that's
a
little
higher
than
where
we
normally
like
to
be
because
we
like
to
be
the
cost
leader.
B
That
will
then
reduce
the
cost
per
in
plane
to
passenger
because,
as
we
take
those
costs
and
pay
them
with
stimulus
funds,
those
costs
are
no
longer
passed
on
to
the
to
the
tenants,
mainly
the
airlines,
in
this
instance,
and
so
we're
trying
to
balance
on
the
concession
side,
the
revenue
stream
and
the
waivers
or
deferrals
and
and
how
that
reduces
the
revenue
stream
with
the
cost
side
and
how
that
impacts.
The
cost
per
and
planed
passenger,
so,
like
I,
said
I
think
that
we
are
in
a
very
good
position.
B
I
think
that
we
have
a
plan
both
for
how
we
utilize
stimulus
funds
against
our
cost
of
operations,
and
we
have
a
good,
solid
plan
for
how
we
continue
moving
forward
to
provide
relief
to
the
concessionaires.
That
relief
is
not
the
same
for
both
concessionaires,
but
what
I
would
say
is
it's
similar
and
it
provides
us
and
them
the
ability
to
preserve
cash
and
get
through
this
crisis
so
that
we
come
out
on
the
other
side
to
recovery.
B
Now,
I
will
say
there
is
a
lot
of
concern
about
what
if
the
recovery
is
weaker
than
we
anticipate.
What?
If
it's
not
that
base
case
scenario
that
I
presented
in
the
first
meeting
well,
what
I
would
say
to
that
is.
That
is
why
it's
important
for
us
to
make
wise
decisions
about
the
use
of
the
stimulus
funds,
because
we
may
need
it
to
help
reduce
that
cost
per
in
plane
to
passenger
over
a
longer
period
of
time
and
I
would
say.
B
We
also
acknowledge
that
come
October,
November
December
as
we
start
to
see
what
the
recovery
looks
like.
Is
it
that
base
case,
or
is
it
that
worst
case
or
is
it
somewhere
in
between?
We
read
it
readily
acknowledge
that
we
may
need
to
sit
down
with
the
concessionaires
and
talk
about
other
options.
That
would
be
reflective
of
of
a
different
recovery
scenario
than
what
we're
utilizing
right
now,
because
if
we,
if
the
worst
case
scenario,
is
more
what
the
recovery
looks
like,
we
know
that
come
January.
Remember.
B
In
the
worst
case
scenario,
that
is
a
recovery
to
50
percent
of
prior
year.
Well,
that's
going
to
have
implications
for
all
of
us
on
the
business
side
and
it's
impossible
for
us
to
think
about.
You
know
it's!
It's
been
very
difficult
for
us
because
of
the
dynamic
nature
and
the
fast-moving
nature
of
this
crisis.
To
really
have
that
crystal
ball.
If
that's,
where
we
are
in
November,
we
know
that
there
are
going
to
be
further
discussions
because
the
business
is
going
to
be
fundamentally
changed
in
that
the
recovery
is
much
weaker
than
we
thought.
B
I
would
say,
just
as
a
point
of
reference:
a
recovery
to
50
percent
of
traffic
levels,
our
traffic
levels
that
that
that
we
haven't
seen
in
in
over
a
decade
in
Charlotte.
So
that's
gonna,
fundamentally
change
our
approach,
but
we
don't
know
that
that's
the
recovery,
you
know
we
just
don't
know
right
now,
I
will
say
on
the
upside.
B
Clearly
we
are
very,
very
diminished
in
passenger
traffic,
but
we
are
seeing
week
over
week
increases
steady
increases
in
both
the
number
of
passengers
and
the
number
of
flights
going
out
or
coming
through
Charlotte,
and
so
we're
encouraged
by
that.
But
we
don't
know
we
still
don't
really
know
what
the
recovery
looks
like
as
we
get
into
the
summer
and
the
fall
and
the
winter.
B
D
Obviously,
we
don't
necessarily
know
what
the
timeline
will
be
for
bringing
back
all
of
those
workers,
work,
I,
guess
a
couple
of
questions
we're
either
of
those
major
vendors.
There
are
major
employers
they're
eligible
for
a
PvP.
Did
they
utilize
that
if
they've
been
able
to
bring
back
employees
and
if
we
were
to
offer
relief,
are
we
able
to
tie
that
relief
to
any
sort
of
stipulation
like
extending
the
health
insurance
coverage
of
furloughed
employees?.
B
So
let
me
start
with
your
second
question.
First,
because
I
think
I
will
defer
your
first
question
to
host
parodies
and
their
AC
DB
providers
who
are
present
on
the
call.
The
second
question
is:
can
we
tie
relief
to
stipulations
associated
with
benefits
or
employment
of
their
employees
and
and
I?
Think
the
simplest
answer
is,
and
I
unfortunately
said
this
before
in
under
North
Carolina
law?
We
are
not.
B
It
is
not
legal
for
us
to
dictate
or
mandate
employment
practices
to
a
tenant
or
a
private
company
that
utilizes
the
airport,
and
so
the
simple
answer
on
that
is
these
these
measures
that
I'm
talking
about?
No,
we
do
not
believe
it
would
be
legal
under
North,
Carolina
law
to
add
stipulations
related
to
their
hiring
or
their
staffing
levels,
or
even
the
benefits
that
they
extend
to
their
staffing.
To
your
first
question:
are
the
companies
and
tenants
eligible
for
other
federal
programs
I
believe
the
answer
is
yes
and
no?
E
E
D
A
D
Whoever
else
would
be
appropriate
to
answer
the
question:
I
presume
that
you
heard
the
same
concerns
potentially
from
the
same
employees.
Imagine
that
concerns
are
pretty
Universal.
Have
those
big
discussions
that
you
been
able
to
have
correctly
with
either
the
employee
unions
or
employees
individually,
and
is
there
any
any
plan
in
place
for
how
you
might
deal
with
that?
Or
is
it
just
something
that
you
view
is
an
unfortunate
inevitability.
E
First
and
foremost,
taking
care
of
our
associates
is
top
of
the
list.
You
know
it's,
it's
a
big
investment,
getting
the
right
people
to
the
airport,
getting
them
trained
and
we
don't
want
to
lose
them,
and
so
you
know
we
have
not
in
and
again
I'm
no
expert.
This
is
not
my
area
of
expertise
and
in
the
terminology,
I
may
not
say
exactly
right,
but
we
tried
to.
E
We
did
furlough
people
so
that
we
could
bring
them
back
faster
when
the
when
the
time
is
right
and
that
we
are
looking
at
ways
to
provide
benefits
for
the
longest
period
that
we
can
and
try
to
do
it
in
a
smart
manner
so
that
that
we
survive
this
crisis
as
well.
So
I
know
that
there's
a
constant
ongoing
discussions
about
how
do
we
do
that?
Where
are
we?
How
is
the
recovery
coming?
E
When
can
we
get
people
back
and
how
can
we
continue
on
providing
as
much
benefit
as
we
can,
because
we,
without
our
employers,
we
we
don't
exist,
I
mean
we're
so
we're
doing
a
lot
and
again
I'm.
Just
not
just
not
my
rowing
company
in
those
discussions,
but
I
know
that
it's
at
the
highest
levels
and
in
the
forefront
of
people's
minds.
A
I
just
want
to
say,
I've
had
a
number
of
conversations
with
the
parties
about
this
and
tried
to
decide
what
role
there
might
be
for
our
working
group
here
and
wrecking
and
recognizing
that
this
is
in
fact
igniting.
That
fact,
this
is
in
fact
a
national
negotiation
between
a
union
and
an
employer
and
there's
all
kinds
of
stuff
that
kind
of
Springs
from
that
the
city
is
not
funding
health
insurance
from
its
resources
in
any
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
right
now,
so
our
ability
to
come
in
and
use
resources
we
have
to
fix.
A
A
I
was
approached
by
a
representative
of
United
here
and
suggested
that
if
they
could
send
to
us
a
kind
of
description
of
their
issue
that
we
that
we
can
circulate
to
our
members
for
our
discussion
today,
that
I
would
make
that
available
to
everybody.
I
didn't
in
fact
receive
that,
so
the
only
knowledge
we
have
right
now
is
I
have
an
email
from
Stuart,
Mora
and
I
haven't
heard
from
the
Union.
So
at
this
stage,
I
would
really
prefer
that
we
not
try
to
tackle
this.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr.
chair
I
would
just
echo
echo
the
concern
of,
but
my
colleague
mr.
Edelstein
I
I
feel,
like
you
know,
we're
in
a
health
crisis
right
now,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
that
folks
have
health
insurance.
If,
then,
when
they
need
to
use
it,
and
it
does
concern
me
that
that
employees
will
lose
it
around
May,
31st,
so
I
I
hope
we
continue
this
dialogue
and
we
find
creative,
innovative
solutions
to
the
problem.
Having
said
that,
I
wanted
to
ask
a
question
of
mr.
F
Cagle
regarding
the
the
airport
stimulus
funds.
I
know
that
we
have
limitations
on
the
funds
that
have
been
provided
to
to
the
city
and
we
have
a
a
period
whereby
we
have
to
to
appropriate
those
funds
before
or
we
lose
them.
We
give
them
back
to
the
federal
government
that
does
that
apply
to
the
airport,
stimulus
funds
and.
C
B
So
that
is,
it
is
unclear
from
the
FAA.
What
I
would
say
is
this.
This
question
has
come
up
not
directly
or
specific
to
Charlotte,
but
what
I
believe
the
FAA
is
talking
about
is
for
years
now.
The
reality
is
the
funding
that
Charlotte
that
CLT
the
airport
received
will
not.
Last
for
years,
we
we
are
looking
at
utilizing
100%
of
the
funding
over
the
next
12
months
or
sooner,
and
so
what
the
FAA
has
said
is
they
do
not
they
do
not.
B
B
A
G
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
a
plus-one
to
what
council
members
ever
stood
in
Newton
have
said.
I
realized
to
your
point,
mr.
chair,
that
this
may
not
be
the
forum
to
do
so,
but
do
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
clear
that
there's
energy
here
to
do
that
at
Council
or
at
least
investigate
it,
so
I'd
be
interested
to
find
out
what
the
outcomes
of
some
of
those
discussions
are
at
a
later
date.
That's
all.
A
Thank
you.
I've
noted
that
and
I
know
that
there
there
is
a
level
of
interest
we've
seen
in
the
past
that
the
city
took
some
interest
in
the
terms
of
employment
of
employees
of
subcontractors.
So
we
all
share
the
concern
for
those
employees
who
are
going
to
lose
their
insurance.
I
just
know
from
my
own
investigation
of
this
subject,
since
it
was
brought
to
my
attention
that
it
has
many
facets
and
what
I
want
to
try
to
accomplish
in
today's
meeting
and
and
to
move
on
actually
to.
A
The
next
point
is
the
city
received
a
hundred
and
fifty
five
million
dollars
from
the
federal
government
and
the
manager
on
one
day
told
us
that
70
million
of
that
could
be
made
available
for
relief,
so
that
was
designated
for
small
businesses
and
housing.
I've
had
a
conversation
with
the
managers,
we
may
need
some
money
in
order
to
make
recommendations
as
it.
You
know,
as
a
result
of
this
process
that
were
engaged
in
right
now
and
I.
A
Think
what
we're
going
to
try
to
do
in
this
meeting
is
identify
specific
needs
or
specific
asks
that
we
can
include
into
councils
discussion
of
a
disposition.
Seventy
million
dollars
at
the
city
has
I
think
the
director
a
Brent
has
explained
pretty.
Clearly,
the
director
explained
clearly
the
terms
for
the
agency
and
for
the
city's
money
are
not
the
same,
so
it
doesn't
necessarily
fall
over
because
the
manager
is
identified,
an
opportunity
for
us
to
use
the
city
money
in
the
way
that
he
proposes
that
there
must
be
an
equivalent
opportunity
on
the
aviation
side.
A
A
Just
say
give
me
some
ideas:
let's
have
some
ideas
on
things
that
if
we
have
money
from
city,
for
example,
we
could
use
it
for
I.
Think
some
of
the
concession
the
sub
concessionaire
is,
can
benefit
from
what
is
already
being
discussed
for
small
businesses,
local
small
businesses.
But
the
truth
is
that
the
recovery,
Outlook
or
airport
concessions
is
a
different
path
from
small
businesses
in
the
city.
So
our
particular
focus
is
just
what
might
be
the
special
needs
of
those
businesses
compared
to
whatever
general
decisions
are
being
made
about.
A
Small
businesses
in
city
and
I
would
invite
again.
We
have
I,
think
five
or
six
of
the
sub
concessionaires
on
the
call
and,
of
course,
a
couple
members
of
our
group,
and
so
I
would
like
to
invite
you
to
kind
of
make
it
any
suggestions
you
have
for
things.
That
would
make
it
easier
for
you
or
that
would
help
you
to
get
through
all
of
this,
but
by
the
way,
Matt
I
see
your
hand
is
still
off.
There's
activity,
that's
your
call.
A
A
I
I
His
thoughts
showed
a
lot
of
work
behind
the
scene,
as
he's
mentioned
several
times,
he's
dealing
with
two
prime
contracts
that
don't
operate
under
the
same
mechanics
and
so
to
make
sure
that
those
contracts
are
fair
and
equitable
requires
a
lot
of
work
and
I
appreciate
that
and
without
getting
into
the
weeds
of
it.
All
just
like
Brett
said
I
trust
that
Brent
and
team
will
make
sure
that,
as
all
of
the
local
business
owners
are
equally
struggling,
that
we
receive
equally
the
concessions
that
are
available
under
those
leases,
Brent
hit
it
on
the
head.
I
I
mean
he
mentioned
some
other
things
are
directed
mention
some
other
things
related
to
parking
and
pass-through
cost,
and
all
of
that
helps,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
the
thing
that
all
ACD
v's
think
about.
In
addition
to
the
rent
that
we
pay,
he
mentioned
the
percentage
rent
under
the
host
agreement.
That's
something
that
that's
one
dollar
or
15
sent
out
of
what
we're
making
that
is
very
minimal.
That
could
definitely
be
used
to
help
us
survive
recover
and
reveal
so
throw
that
out
there.
That's
the
obvious
and
it's.
I
Secondly,
any
any
resources
that
can
be
provided
to
us
to
assist
with
PPE
and
social
distancing
protocol
I
know
that
we
have
all
local
business
owners
have
tried
to
share
resources
related
to
that,
because
we're
in
the
process
now
making
sure
we
have
masks
and
gloves
and
the
sanitizer
that's
about
that.
We
need
to
have
available
as
well
as
signage
that
we
need
to
have,
as
well
as
on
the
sneeze
guards
or
shields.
I
Those
are
all
things
that
we're
still
on
the
just
still
obligated
to
provide
for
our
teams,
while
we're
still
trying
to
keep
things
running
and
pay
those
those
those
costs
that
sound
minimal.
But
again,
you
know
they're
not
that
minimum
when
you're
getting
only
receiving
at
five
percent
of
the
revenues
that
you
projected.
So
again,
thanks
to
our
director
and
team,
and
those
are
my
thoughts.
A
A
We
could
have
a
working
group
study
this
and
make
sure
that
good
information
goes
out
to
all
of
the
sub
concessionaires
about
what
their
opportunities
are
and
facilitate
their
access
to
relief,
that's
available
from
the
federal
government
directly,
and
so
mr.
Cagle
I
think.
If
we
look
at
things
like
signage
and
PPE
and
so
on,
we
might
be
able
to
build
and
ask
around
that.
Would
you
agree?
Yes,.
B
Sir
I
would
say
there
are
some
well,
so
one
concern
about
the
PPE.
Specifically,
is
you
know
and
I
hate
to
say
it
this
way,
but
legal
liability?
Well,
there's
two
concerns
around
PPE.
One
is
the
supply
chain
pressure,
we're
we're
struggling
to
get
PPE
ourselves,
for
you
know
for
the
600
aviation
employees,
the
other
becomes
a
legal
liability
issue
and
we
would
need
to
work
through
that
when
it
comes
to
signage
and
sneeze
guards
and
those
kinds
of
things.
B
Yes,
our
experienced
recovery
team
we've
already
assembled
a
group
to
start
looking
at
this
and
whether
it
be
social,
distancing,
stickers,
whether
it
be
messaging
in
the
terminal,
sneeze
guards
at
concessionaires.
We
want
to
work
with
hosts
and
parodies
and
and
the
airlines,
with
all
of
the
tenants
to
figure
out
how
we
meet
passenger
expectations
and
if
it
means
that
we
utilize
some
funding
to
pay
for
some
of
those
things,
I
think
that's
that's
completely
acceptable
and.
A
We
will
also
I'm
going
to
talk
to
the
the
working
group
leader,
James
Mitchell,
for
small
businesses
and
find
out
which
things
they're
looking
at
doing
could
benefit
local
sub
concessionaires,
because
I
think
they
are
definitely
among
in
among
the
community
of
people
we
intend
to
assist,
and
so
they
certainly
shouldn't
be
left
out
of
any
more
general
things
that
we're
doing.
But
I
guess
those
are
the
keys.
And
therefore
what
I
would
propose
is
that
mr.
A
Cagle
and
I
work
on
a
kind
of
summary
report
identifying
some
of
the
issue
that
have
come
up
and
and
therefore
participate
in
the
conversation
with
the
manager
and
folk
council
about
how
the
70
million
is
allocated.
Whether
we
can
set
aside
some
of
that
for
a
couple
of
the
issues
that
have
been
brought
up
in
these
conversations
and-
and
my
intention
would
be
to
circulate
that-
to
the
members
of
the
task
force
and
to
remit
on
it.
A
Next
week's
meeting
or
even
if,
through
exchange
of
emails.
So
we
can
get.
We
can
get
involved
in
the
conversation
about
the
use
of
city
funds
quickly,
because
I
gather
that
the
other
working
groups
are
already
making
spending
plans.
So
that's
that's,
really
I
think
kind
of
it
for
now.
Unless
anybody
has
any
further
comments
or
input
Brent.
H
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
Brent
and
thank
you
and
Councilman
Riggs
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
address
here.
Ulanda
stole
most
of
my
thunder
as
she
commonly
does,
because
she
is
so
brilliant
and
I
appreciate
her
comments.
I
think
the
only
thing
I
would
build
on
to
what
she
mentioned
is
and
honestly
thank
you
for
highlighting
the
70
million
that
this
city
has.
That
has
a
fewer
fewer
restrictions
from
those
dollars
that
Britt
and
the
airport
received
through
the
FAA
I.
H
H
I'm
pp,
what
other
things
can
the
70
million
be
used
for?
Are
there
other
things
that
you're
doing
for
street
side
businesses
in
terms
of
ensuring
their
stability
during
this
time
that
can
be
applied
to
airport
operators,
local
Airport
operators?
Because,
to
your
very
point,
councilman
Drake's,
you
know
we
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
pivot.
We
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
market
or
sell
our
goods
and
services
to
the
non
traveling
public.
H
A
A
You
suggested
we
consider
and
and
see
how
they
fit,
but
may,
depending
what
I
want
you
to
love
to
do,
and
what
I'm
going
to
propose
is
that
I
get
together
with
manager
and
the
mayor
and
the
other
working
group
heads
who,
for
one
identify
what
they're
proposing
which
of
those
things
could
be
beneficial
to
help
port
stakeholders
and
then
make
sure
that
we
have
the
ability
to
access
some
of
that
money
for
the
benefit
of
the
airport
and
I.
Think
what
mr.
Cagle
is
doing
reflects
a
big
effort
on
his
part
to
bend.
A
J
B
J
And
in
a
crisis
like
this,
I
know
that
we
have
there's
a
lot
of
local
business
owners
on
the
concessionaires.
I
think
it
will
be
a
good
focus
for
us
to
expand
it
to
the
local
suppliers
and
vendors
as
70
million
thirty-minute.
Whatever
the
amount
is
that
we
can,
you
see
ways
to
encourage
local
vendors
contractors,
suppliers
to
benefit
from
that,
as
well
as
an
expansion
of
what
the
airport
does
and
I
also
wanted
to
bring
up,
maybe
for
a
future
meetings
there.
The
airport
owns
more
than
gives
the
terminals.
J
There
are
a
lot
of
other
facilities
that
support
freight
forwarders,
warehouses
in
in
the
like,
I
wonder
if
we
can
explore,
or
at
least
think
about
how
does
this
crisis
affect
the
secondary
layer
of
businesses,
the
ones
that
are
not
in
the
terminal
but
are
basically
they're
certified
or
serving
the
operation
of
transportation
that
happens
to
Charlotte
Douglas
I
know
that
the
intermodal
is
a
separate
business,
but
all
of
them
form
this
city
within
a
city,
wonder
if
we
can
explore
a
little
bit
of
that
in
our
next
meetings.
Thank
you.
That's
all.
A
Thank
you
for
your
comment
that
one
brief
remark,
I
would
make
is
my
own
view
on
this
is
if
we
keep
the
economic
motor
of
the
airport
running
and
get
it
get
it
running.
Revved
up
and
a
lot
of
benefits
will
kind
of
spread
to
the
remainder
of
the
airport
community,
but
I
certainly
agree
that
we
can
consider
as
we
go,
to
formulate
our
final
recommendations,
whether
there's
an
accommodation
as
well
for
those.
So
thank
you
for
your
comment.
Mr.
Bennett.
K
Good
morning,
council
members
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
you
know
I
would
also
add
similar
to
miss
Johnson
and
this
those
comments
in
terms
of
what
we
can
do
to
support
the
or
group
with
Pease
and
such
I
think
mr.
Cagle.
Incidentally,
another
excellent
job
in
helping
mitigate
the
circumstance
and
I'm
sure.
There's
work
will
be
done,
but
I
think
it
would
be
lost
if
we
don't
start
to
put
emphasis
on
a
true
path
to
recovery
is
going
to
be
driven
by
the
consumer.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
I
know.
The
public
information
is
part
of
what
the
other
groups
have
already
talked
about,
and
so
we
can
certainly
see
what's
caught.
The
airport
has
to
do
that
or
whether
that's
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
lend
assistance
as
well,
because
you're
right
people
are
going
to
be
gun-shy
and
they
need
to
make
their
travel
decisions
based
on
an
objective
assessment
of
the
current
situation.
So
thank
you
for
your
comment.
This
Johnson
your
hand
is
up.
Is
it
still
operated?
You
have
something
else.
You
wanted
to
say.
A
C
L
Thank
you
good
morning
and
again
I'm
also
a
concessionaire
will
work
for
an
AC
vbe
company,
but
another
thing
you
know
when
we
were
talking
about
about
how
we
could
help
concessionaires.
Our
our
concession
is
not
an
essential
accession,
meaning
concession,
meaning
it's
not
a
restaurant,
so
has
thought
been
given
to
possible
reduced
hours
based
on
the
banking
of
the
flights
or
concessionaires
that
are
not
essential.
B
B
When
this
crisis
started,
we
gave
blanket
authority
to
all
subs
and
Prime
host
parodies
and
all
of
their
subs
to
make
the
decisions
related
to
their
operating
hours
and
whether
or
not
to
maintain
any
hours
at
all,
whether
or
not
they
wanted
to
close
the
stores
based
on
their
best
judgment.
And
so
we
are
not.
We
are
not
requiring
what
we're
allowing
concessionaires
to
make
that
decision.
B
Now,
as
we
move
forward,
we
need
to
work
with
host
parodies
and
the
sub
concessionaires
to
understand
what
the
reopening
plan
is,
so
that,
as
ms
torres
said
and
miss
gentry
said
in
some
of
the
earlier
meetings,
so
that
we
ensure
that
the
AC
DBE
providers
are
still
maintaining
ours
and
recovering,
at
the
same
rate
as
the
what
I'm
going
to
call
the
prime
locations
so
that
we
can
continue
to
meet
the
AC
DBE
requirements.
But
at
this
point,
that
is
an
operator
decision
on
ours
and
whether
or
not
to
operate
at
all.
