Statue, somehow it's good that we have that disclosed. I know that we don't have anyone in attendance here.

Then no point would we even report that they're not excused in the future in a future report? That's never been done so.

C

Particular excuse.

As I'm concerned I'm not concerned about it, but I know we can get into that practice right.

C

The commotion will review to those two items, but.

G

Somebody approaches them.

G

C

They had us on a commitment where they were trying to provide some kind of funny, but therefore the last city management, so they traded all but I'll, see, was trying to contain dialogue, but I don't know they went for because they were expecting a deadline. That's if they say hey, we want to let you buy this weekend and I think you'll see stalled them, but I don't know. Word.

G

Right now they talked into this Mexican airline, but.

G

Before I forget me to check on them, and forgive me for saying.

The record the new era director Jeff, Miller and L- supports that are in character of Mexico and in aerospace at Summit this week they left yesterday.

G

My return on Friday afternoon, right now they are in the New York Board of Directors Jeff Miller, an LTR, that's why they are not attending this meeting.

G

A

Guess once we get to the.

A

I like to touch on that subject or maybe directly from him, because.

A

What is plan is regarding the Mexican places, oh yeah, because now that mr. Miller's, here things may change as far as he may have a different approach. Maybe he's got other contacts, you know leverage or something that he's gonna be able to do. The.

A

On the Mexican flight, Mexico City direct flights from.

A

G

A

Other destination that would be.

H

H

Any stuff like that on the horizon.

D

Yeah, just people.

H

That are interested in themselves.

G

Will be limited to that, it will be limited right now, because we have buildings.

A

You know one place.

A

Anybody wants to look at the coast, ranges right on a national airport website and I only say that, because I know that happens, I get the Connie where we have some documents, for example like the procurement stuff. They have me when you go to the league, they'll show purchasing agent, you can go directly or they'll help some of this stuff from the main page. But if you go to the purchasing my specific name everything's, there.

H

It might be kind of neat to get a presentation.

G

C

Guys, don't have an agenda item and you kind of passes always say we can have out there.

You can see.

A

The major players.

G

C

Somebody is in it: yes, how.

H

C

G

Over fortunate, you think that we requested it.

G

Patient HN vehicles in a pack.

G

B

There's one that are also the increase from May to June, substantially I, don't know this marriages.

C

What if it's an increased or decreased I know there's some increase Lasher, but I, don't know we're starting decrease or not, and right now, with all this trade on the forefront with this political environment.

B

But really do you have somebody assigned to do the collections to do.

G

A

G

Have a person that is gonna.

A

I think in every more I know we wanna make more, but I think the committee at least I hope I speak for everybody here is that we rather see that we did send a default internist put that on there. So if our respective council persons ever ask us, we can see they're making an effort because they've actually sent them default. Letters versus I'm saying that well they're, just emailing them, and then it's gonna look bad on mr.

A

Miller and the staff, so they can the new person but make sure they default or there and talk with legal I. Think I. One point we're seeing all that correct everyone else. He was having.

B

G

D

F

Years ago this was right, I mean it was three or four times and the numbers were.

B

Their activity increased.

C

There, over 90 days on top of that, has really ready to the finest landing zone so eight if ice landings on are painted in seven or over ninety days. Yes,.

G

G

B

G

Win something we lose some.

A

And I know when Mahdi was here: that's when I saw this report get better because you know he started really pushing. Oh sure. Mr. butter was named on collections and not started because again.

G

G

G

Blue-Green construction so we're to medium. That's what I say: well we're submitting their grant application.

A

In the process of getting the approval on the grad and council and all that stuff.

G

What's the match on that.

G

Because we're pouring 17 inches of concrete.

H

Touch base on want to councilman asked me about what goes into available flights. You know more hours, Oh 24.

D

H

Think it's not 24 hours, no.

E

D

How do you expand.

H

That, like what is it right now? What does it cut off? Okay,.

G

A year ago,.

G

Saturday's were from 7:00 to 8:00 Sunday from eight week, so we have some issues on especially on weekends, on Saturdays and Sunday, then how was closing idle o'clock and bang? We have delayed delayed flight from American United, those like they were getting here in Laramie 11:30, so.

E

G

Have some issues with whether there was nobody that have to provide where before they will be cancellation?

G

So when we prepare, we prepare report to FAA traffic control towers in a day and what they're paying and they saw that the operation you need to have four operations per hour.

G

And we had if they agreed fYI the power doesn't belong to the airport, is an FAA contract out.

H

G

G

Many years ago, the airport department elevator was in charge when I, when the city was people. So going back to the report.

G

G

G

We're trying to get.

G

The tower they're open 24/7, those are airport hours.

G

A

What we don't have that leverage that they don't fall into the air Prince Prince they're, not employed by us right, FA,.

G

And issues that we're having right now, but you so like I would report, we increase the cargo there I played on the MFE. We need to have that magic number two for every barrel.

G

That's why, especially after.

G

Flying an airplane variables involvement, one of those in picture there. It's.

H

Interesting, how you have some that you receive first thing in the morning because it will flying it through and they get here right when you start.

G

H

G

Usually they get here by six or seven.

G

Even though we have a runway.

G

But that's the.

A

International Airport.

A

G

F

A

D

A

Like a marketing right to promote the airline services, well,.

G

To try to secure additional Airlines, both the combination of.

G

H

So all this stuff fit in this off here two years.

H

Would be used as an incentive to attract.

H

It doesn't have to be you get to get this right if you don't use it, it goes back.

C

For us in went.

A

Transportation, aviation division under the routine Airport maintenance program in the amount of $50,000 for the purpose of air sight and land site maintenance at the Laredo International Airport, and authorizing the Co inner city managers to execute all necessary documents resulting from the award the local match. The amount of $50 for this project is available in the airport operation. It's fun, so the total project cost is a hundred thousand. So it's basically dollar for dollar match and I know. I know just for the committee's information.

A

D

A

A

Committee here present I know that's been kind of difficult to have.

A

That way, I can also maybe.

E

A

The group and kind of encourage you to attend because it's an important item, we have the press and then also, if circle back with me on the language I may want to make a recommendation.

A

Between now and then.

G

Last two or three years old, a fire solution, I, have.

B

A request for the next.

B

I, look at buildings day-in day-out attention where we can be put into the earning money for the airport.

B

You know how it is when there's empty buildings they just you know, you can't keep them standing there for.

C

B

Existing buildings that are vacant.

G

Why we also are, as an HR consultant, we're also working on land development and land use development plan that you know so we're working on upgrading dating I.

H

G

G

A

Important too, because I know at one point that, especially on the west side, there were certain restrictions. We had to piece out, somos progress rate or even sell them, and it was very restrictive. Then, maybe that's why we're not getting good turnaround as far as we see for selling properties out there, you know where they were exclusive to only medical, to kind of go in line with I.

A

Wouldn't and then my last request is along the same lines as maybe and that maybe we should add the last Roman numerals right before it.
