AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING 060921
C
D
A
E
Yes,
absolutely
thank
you.
Thank
you,
elizabeth
for
coming
and
thank
you.
I
know
your
time
on
the
airport
advisory
board
has
come
to
a
close
and
we're
all
saddened
by
that,
but
I
think
we
have
a
little
token
here
for
appreciation
for
everything
that
you've
done
for
us
here,
while
you're
on
the
board
and
hopefully
we'll
see
you
back
soon,.
F
Whenever
you're
on
the
board,
I
tell
you
who
always
leaned
on
you,
you
always
had
good
information
and
you
were
always
very
inquisitive.
You
know.
Sometimes
we've
got
a
little
bit
of
classroom
very
you're,
very
missed,
so.
D
F
C
D
D
E
You
can
see
by
the
numbers,
obviously
we'll
kind
of
reference
before
I
know
from
board
member
omar
gonzalez
now
the
comparison
between
2021
2020,
but
also
2019,
which
I
think
is
more
of
a
true
respect
of
what
we're
doing
we're
starting
to
see
numbers
improve,
see
in
april,
we're
seeing
and
then
playing
come
back
actually
two
percent
higher
than
where
we
were
in
2019
and
not
that
it's
on
this
report.
Yet
because
we
don't
have
the
official
numbers
yet.
E
But
I
talked
to
tsa
yesterday
and
we
were
about
a
thousand
passengers
above
where
we
were
in
2019
for
the
month
of
may.
So
that's
about
roughly
about
eight
to
seven
percent
higher
in
the
month
of
may.
So
that's
a
good
sign
starting
to
see
that
recovery.
E
We've
seen
you
know
the
schedule
return
to
normalcy
with
american
they're,
offering
now
for
the
month
of
june
four
flights
a
week
even
on
saturdays
united,
will
be
going
back
to
their
three-flight
schedule
starting
in
july.
So
that's
a
good
thing
there
as
well.
Passenger
numbers
on
the
legion
are
improving
one
area
with
arrow.
Mar
their
flights
are
doing
really
good.
We
actually
were
going
towards
two
extra
flights
a
week
with
them
on
thursdays
and
saturdays.
E
Unfortunately,
the
faa
downgraded
the
mexican
government's
aviation
system.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
airline.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
laredo
it's
the
actual
country
of
mexico,
it's
their
version
of.
What's
the
faa,
the
civil
aviation
authority,
there
they
had
some
discrepancies,
they
do
a
10-year
audit
and
when
they
did
that,
basically
at
their
crux
of
it,
they
thought
that
there's
not
enough
safety
inspectors
and
that
they're
not
paying
them
enough
in
mexico.
So
as
a
compliance
tool,
they
downgrade
the
entire
country.
It
has
happened
before
new
mexico.
E
E
We
actually
flew
the
first
week
two
flights,
but
because
there
was
not
a
history
of
those
flights
departing
we're
limited
to
three
now
the
idea
behind
it
is
it's
not
unsafe
to
fly
to
mexico.
If
it
was,
the
faa
wouldn't
allow
anybody
to
fly
to
mexico,
it's
a
compliance
tool
and
the
unfortunate
part
is
it
really
takes
between
the
two
governments
to
work
that
process
out
are
from
what
we
can
understand
internally,
it
sounds
like
they're
moving
in
the
right
direction.
E
I
think
within
that
and
depending
on
where
they
need
to
go,
so
we
haven't
seen
any
impact
there,
but
it
did
impact
our
two
new
flights
and,
like
I
said
unfortunate
circumstances,
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
arrow
mar
or
laredo
it's
just
between
the
two
countries
so
well.
E
No,
no,
that's
still
good,
that's
still
moving
forward.
We
should
see
that
first
shipment
here
at
the
end
of
june
and
those
because
that
would
fall
under
what
we
would
see
the
flights
that
were
existing
and
actually
it
doesn't
affect
u.s
carriers,
so
it
wouldn't
affect
ups
at
all.
It
affects
mexican
carriers,
but
nevertheless,
if
it
was,
let's
say
it
was:
you
know
like
a
tum
tum.
If
they
flew
13
000
collective
flights
through
the
u.s
last
year,
they
can
fly
13
000,
regardless
of
where
it
goes.
E
So
we
haven't
seen
an
impact
on
the
cargo
side
and
we're
not
anticipating
the
soonest.
We
could
probably
see
this
get
upgraded,
it's
downgrading,
they
have
five
levels.
It
was
downgraded
to
a
level
two
from
a
one.
The
soonest
would
probably
be
like
a
six
month
time
frame,
so
we're
probably
tracking
around
december
of
this
year,
time
frame
or
maybe
november,
and
it's
really
between
the
two
governments-
and
you
know
it's,
it
depends.
E
You
know
really
what
how
much
advancement
the
civil
aviation
authority
makes,
but
for
now
we
just
kind
of
have
to
be
in
that
holding
pattern.
We
did
seek
out
congress
and
cuellar's
help
with
a
potential
letter
to
the
faa
administrator
stephen
dixon,
to
ask
for
potential
leeway
in
the
rule,
but
it's
pretty
black
and
white.
So
I
don't
think
that's
probably
gonna
help,
but
he
was
supportive
in
that.
E
So
if
you
can't
prove
that
you
operated
a
five
flight
week,
schedule
you're
limited
to
whatever
you
actually
flew,
which
for
us
is
three
flights
a
week,
but
the
monday
wednesday
friday
flights
are
looking
really
good.
I
think
the
positive
story
there
is
aromara
was
committing
two
extra
flights,
which
is
great,
so
we
were
going
to
have
a
monday
wednesday,
thursday,
friday
saturday
schedule,
and
we
actually
flew
that
the
first
week
before
the
downgrade
or
the
ruling
on
on
the
extra
flights
came
in,
but
hopefully
see
that
turn.
B
Around
you
mentioned
that
the
government
said
that
somebody's
not
getting
paid
enough.
It's.
D
E
Yeah-
and
so
I
think
it's
really
between,
like
I
said
right
now,
where
we're
trying
to
keep
those
channels
open
with
information
coming
in,
but
the
same
with
the
downgrade.
You
know
we
were
not
aware
of
the
downgrade
until
it
was.
You
know,
intimate
so
I'm
assuming
it's
going
to
be
the
same
in
reverse
when
they
decide
to
upgrade
it.
E
Yeah
so
tell
you
six
total
arrival,
three
arrival,
three
departures,
yep
yeah
and
those
flights
are
going
very
well
we're
seeing
positive
numbers
on
those
flights
and,
like
I
said,
actually
such
good
numbers
that
we
were
seeing
additional
flights.
It's
just.
Unfortunately,
the.
B
E
On
the
next
page,
you'll
see
the
cargo
report
we're
still
seeing
that
growth
from
2020
to
2021,
but
we're
still
seeing
a
reduction
kind
of
what
we
spoke
about
last
month
and
the
same
as
we
see
throughout
the
city
reduction
in
cars.
Automotive
right
as
our
main
component
right
now,
and
especially
with
the
chips
on
back
order,
we're
not
seeing
as
much
auto
parts
coming
through.
Just
because
there's
there's
a
high
demand,
there's
not
enough
vehicles,
but
they
don't
actually
have
the
raw
material.
E
Obviously
I
mean-
and
it's
a
good
point
not
to
look
at
2020,
because
it
is
very
skewed
to
where
we
were
this
time
last
year,
but
from
2019
to
2021
we're
still
seeing
positive
good
growth
and
in
the
total
cargo,
that's
using
the
fis
operations
and
then
the
sat
operations
like
I
said,
we're
still
one
of
those
areas
that
we're
looking
to
hopefully
continue
to
improve
upon,
and
I
think
the
announcement
that
we
had
last
month
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
with
ups
being
a
consolidated
cargo
in
that
and
the
idea
behind
that
is
really
that
people
that
can't
fill
an
entire
aircraft
today
can
use
a
consolidated
shipper
like
a
ups
or
fedex,
and
maybe
they
have
enough
material
for
one
pallet,
but
they
can't
fill
an
entire
plane.
E
So
the
way
the
program
works
today
is
you
have
to
go
direct
from
laredo
to
mexico
to
be
considered
pre-cleared,
but
with
this
new
pilot
program
that
we
hope
becomes
adopted
through
the
end
of
summer,
is
you
take
a
shipment?
You
put
it
on
like
a
ups
and
then
they
use
their
existing
logistical
route
structure.
E
So
a
lot
of
times
they'll
go
from
here
to
san
antonio,
but
they'll
eventually
make
their
way
to
louisville
and
in
this
case,
louisville
to
guadalajara,
so
that
entire
aircraft
is
still
an
international
flight,
except
for
whatever
was
cleared
here
in
laredo,
and
they
would
put
a
seal
around
it.
That
way
when
it
hits
the
ground
in
guadalajara,
immigration
or
sat,
looks
at
it
and
they
say:
okay,
it
can
go
on
its
way
and
it
doesn't
get
stuck
in
bonded
warehousing.
So
I
think
that's
something
that
would
allow
operators
to
utilize.
E
C
Yeah
and
as
far
as
international
operations.
E
C
Second
page,
if
we
move
on
to
the
other
page
for
passenger
aircraft
operations
at
the
fis,
those
are
basically
international
aircraft
that
are
coming
in
that
are
private
or
air
taxi.
We
have
seen
a
substantial
increase
from
last
year
and
from
2019
so
month
to
date,
21
to
2020.
C
It's
an
increase
276
percent
from
last
year,
and
if
we
compare
that
to
2019
it's
at
about
193.73
increase,
so
it's
a
substantial
increase
and
I
think
we're
seeing
it
as
well
one
with
the
summer,
like
people
you
know
coming
in
for
vaccines
into
the
u.s
for
business.
You
know
they're,
re-establishing
their
business
contracts
that
they
had
in
the
u.s
we're
seeing
a
lot,
especially
with
the
borders
being
closed.
C
E
One
of
the
things
we
worked
on
with
mayor
signs
is
a
declaration
which
you
probably
saw
on
the
news
for
vaccine
vacations.
Basically,
you
know,
I
think
you
see
the
numbers
both
on
carriers
like
arrowmar,
but
also
you
know
the
san
antonios
austins
of
the
world,
the
flights
that
are
coming
from
mexico
or
they
have
a
lot
of
people
on
them
and
a
lot
of
those
people.
E
The
vaccine
is
not
readily
available
in
mexico,
and
so,
when
you
know
we
got
to
a
point
surplus
here
where
people
that
wanted
the
vaccine
were
able
to
receive
the
vaccine
and
the
ones
that
you
know
didn't
want.
It
haven't
taken
it,
and
so
you
know
we.
When
we
went
to
mexico
city,
we
had
a
conversation
with
the
mayor
and
you
know
the
idea
was
we
see
these
people
doing
it?
And
I
don't
want
to
say
it
was
a
clandestine
affair.
But
you
know
there
were
rumors
about
cbp,
potentially
taking
passports.
E
E
We've
worked
with
clear
choice,
which
is
downstairs
as
well
to
have
them
get
it
done
at
the
clear
choice:
hospital
just
north
of
the
airport
here,
and
a
lot
of
people
already
have
their
own
avenues
of
where
they're
going
to
get
it.
So
it
just
turned
into
one
of
those
situations
that
as
a
government,
we
wanted
to
say
you're
welcome
to
come,
do
it
here
in
laredo
and
then
obviously
it's
two
twofold
right.
You
know
we
want
our
friends
and
family
in
mexico.
E
A
healthy
u.s
is
a
healthy
world,
and
you
know
we're
so
close
in
our
partnerships
here
with
with
family
and
friends
and
business
that
if
we
have
a
surplus-
and
we
have
people
that
want
to
come
to
laredo
to
get
it,
you
have
that
human
really
aspect
behind
it.
But
it's
also
an
economic
impact
right,
because
they're
coming
they're
coming
to
laredo.
E
Right,
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
as
a
city,
you
know
we're
running
the
first.
I
think
the
first
was
new
york
and
de
blasio,
but
it
really
wasn't
kind
of
structured
on
what
that
statement
was.
But
here
as
an
airport
as
a
community,
we
really
said:
okay,
yes,
come
and
do
it
and
here's
the
method,
if
you
so
choose
to
do
it
with
us.
E
So,
moving
to
the
next
report,
it's
just
basically
kind
of
telling
the
same
story
about
the
total,
fis
operations
and
kind
of
already
pontificated.
On
the
point
of
why
we're
seeing
kind
of
those
increases.
But
it's
a
good
thing.
It's
a
good
thing.
I
think
one
you
know
establishes
you
know
that
kind
of
trust
relationship
with
the
community
with
mexico,
but
also
too
that
they
get
to
experience
laredo
and
maybe
come
back
for
other
things
that
we
have
to
offer
down
the
road.
C
Yeah
total
operations
for
both
cargo
and
passenger
are
up
541.51.
C
Yeah,
well,
we
did
have
cargo
in
2020
passenger
for
sure
it
was
a
big
slow
down,
but
cargo
operations
were
still
continuing,
especially
international.
E
That's
still
a
good,
a
nice
improvement,
I
mean
through
the
fis,
which
I
think
shows
that
you
know
that
as
a
program
it's
working
and
then
hopefully
we
can
build
upon
what
the
sap
component
of
that
is
on
the
fuel
flow
report.
It's
telling
a
better
story
as
well.
You
can
see
from
really
2021
to
2019
we're
down
about
90
in
the
month
of
april,
which
is
kind
of
a
footnote,
probably
which
is
good.
E
It
means
you
know,
obviously
kind
of
what
we're
seeing
in
the
other
numbers
and
the
more
aircraft
they're
coming
the
more
fuel
consumption.
That's
that's
happening.
We
are
tracking.
There
was
a
oil
refinery
up
near
san
antonio
that
caught
fire
that
provides
a
lot
of
fuel
towards
laredo
at
the
moment,
there's
not
any
operational
issues
but
as
they
start
to
decide
how
to
shift
fuel
throughout
the
state,
we're
keeping
an
eye
on
that,
because
not
only
would
it
impact
us,
but
it
impacts
fuel.
C
G
E
E
A
lot
of
it
is
coming
through
corpus,
but
as
san
antonio
goes
down
now
they
go
to
corporate,
so
it
becomes
more
of
a
volume
situation
so
as
we're
more
limited
on
the
san
antonio
side,
we're
more
heavy
on
the
corpus,
but
not
everybody
from
san
antonio
shifting
to
corpus
so,
like
I
said,
there's
no
operational
impacts.
Yet
we
have
fuel,
there's
no
restrictions
of
any
kind,
but
we
are
tracking
that
just
happened
yesterday.
So
just
a
point
of
thought,
but.
A
That
note
taking
consideration
the
current
threat
on
cyber
security.
Are
we
taking
precautionary
measures
just
in
case
or
a.
E
Day
as
a
city,
I
know
the
state
has
really
cracked
down
on
our
internal
network
systems,
our
fuel
farms
for
better
or
worse
they're,
not
on
a
network
system.
So
if
it
we
weren't
impacted
by
the
pipeline
shutdown
that
happened
on
the
fuel
in
texas,
that
comes
through
the
gulf
where
we
get
our
jet
fuel
from,
and
so
what
happened
with
the
pipeline
situation
up
in
the
kind
of
south
carolina
north
carolina
area
that
didn't
have
an
impact
on
us
directly.
There
were
some
airports,
northern
in
the
region.
E
That
did,
I
do
know
the
city,
obviously,
which
a
couple
years
ago
had
its
own
version
of
a
cyber
attack,
and
they
really,
you
know,
tightened
down
on
the
network
restrictions.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
we
all
just
got
done
with
our
training
for
network
security
so,
and
the
state
also
has
further
requirements
now
as
well,
so
I
think
everything's
a
little
bit
tighter.
It
does
make
things
a
little
bit
harder
because
no
more
usbs
and
stuff
you
know
getting
stuck
in
network
computers,
but
yeah.
I
think
it's
it's
obviously
we
can
see.
E
I
mean
we've
all
not
that
we've
been
impacted
airport,
but
personally
I've
seen
impacts.
You
know,
there's
been
a
lot,
that's
been
getting
shut
down
lately
and
it
seems
like
that's
becoming
more
of
the
threat,
but
I
think
our
fuel,
our
local
fuel
farms,
are
protected
in
the
sense
that
they're
not
on
networks
or
anything.
It
would
just
be
the
fuel
that
would
come
in
from
it.
But
beyond
what
happened
recently,
I
haven't
heard
of
any
well,
we
didn't
have
any
I
had
to
check
on.
E
E
And
I
do
know,
I
talked
to
the
fbs
because
of
that
they
said
that
we
were
out
on
the
ramp
yesterday,
they're
seeing
a
lot
of
volume
come
in
right
now,
so
I'm
hoping
that
the
june
numbers
are
going
to
look
good
in
the
main
numbers
as
well
and
mr
chairman
on
the
last
report.
Here.
It's
the
delinquency
report,
I
don't
know
elsie-
is
there
anything?
In
particular,
you
wanted
to
highlight
on
the
delinquency.
No.
C
We
continue
to
work
with
the
different
airlines.
It's
mostly
really
airlines,
they're
landing,
as
you
can
tell
them,
for
international
operations
for
the
most
part
and
some
domestic,
so
we're
just
seeing
a
delay
on
the
activity.
C
Some
of
them
have
less
staffing
on
the
administrative
side
and
they've
shifted
from
the
pandemic,
everyone
to
op
operations,
network
planning
and
whatnot.
So
we
get
the
payment
but
they're
more
delayed
than
what
you
have
in
2019,
for
example.
So
we
just
continue
to
work
with
them
and
and
making
sure
that
we
get
as
timely
as
possible.
All
of
our
payments.
E
There
was
some
funding
that
came
through
the
faa
part
of
the
crisa
act
that
wasn't
much,
but
it's
around
19
000
that
through
the
federal
government
that
offset
some
of
their
costs-
and
we
are
still
working
on
an
active
rfp
for
rental
cars,
because
we
do
have
interest
from
another
outside
rental
car
company
to
come
in
downstairs.
So
we'll
see
that
soon.
Hopefully
do
you
want
to
give
an
update
on
the
construction.
G
Yeah,
mr
chairman,
with
regards
to
the
three
construction
recovery
from
phase
14,
we
continue
working
usually
during
the
month
of
may
and
september.
That's
the
rainy
season.
G
We
get
delayed
a
little
bit,
but
there's
not
a
negative
we're
still
in
the
tories
for
30,
more
or
less
on
the
status,
and
but
we
continue
working
on
that
and
basically
but
we're
we're
in
schedule
and
we're
on
track.
E
And
under
general
staff
comments,
you
know
we
have
the
terminal
unveiling
event.
Thank
you
for
those
that
attended.
We
do
have.
I
think,
some
giveaways
that
we're
giving
you
today
it's
a
little
plaque
of
what
the
terminal
is
going
to
look
like
with
the
extension.
It's
a
3d
model.
D
E
We
had
kind
of
two-fold
last
night
at
city
council.
We
went
through
the
process
when
we're
still
working
on
the
overall.
D
E
Rsnh
for
the
full
design-
and
so
hopefully
we'll
have
that
for
the
airport
board
next
month
is
what
we're
kind
of
tracking
for
approval,
and
then
we
can
really
get
to
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
planning
on
it
to
make
make
that
building
happen,
and
also
too
we're
working
on
an
rfp.
For
it's
kind
of.
E
I
think
what
we're
looking
two
fold
here
to
bring
a
rust,
bring
a
restaurant
back
in
whoever
that
may
be
through
an
rfp
process
and
get
that
sooner
than
later,
but
something
that
would
shift
into
the
new
space
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
So
utilize
what's
happening
downstairs
and
then
shift
towards
the
north
side
of
the
airport,
so
we're
putting.
C
New
investments
in
you
know,
facilities
that
are
more
adequate
to
today's
needs
for
a
traveling
public
right.
E
And
and
we're
going
to
work
closely
with
local
partners,
because
it
could
be,
I
mean
it's
it's
public
space,
so
it
could
be
any
restaurant,
we're
going
to
see
what's
available
what's
out
there,
and
even
you
know
the
restaurant
that
was
in
there
they're
more
than
welcome
to
as
well
to
put
in
and
see
kind
of
what
people
are
willing
to
do
within
the
space
and
then
get
that
going
sooner
than
later
and
then
move
that
into
hopefully
what
the
news
area
will
be
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
E
So
we
worked
on
that
process
and
that
will
be
coming.
We
just
had
a
meeting
with
the
aaron
marine
folks
on
the
28.4
million
dollar
facility.
The
construction
on
that
has
ramped
up
we're,
looking
at
a
construction
award
in
october
of
this
year
for
that
project,
so
we'll
be
working
potentially
on
a
shovel
ground
breaking
ceremony
in
the
fall.
Hopefully
at
some
point
start
coordinating
those
kind
of
dates,
but
that
location,
that's
on
the
northwest
corner
will
be
the
the
165
000
square
foot
complex
for
the
erin
marine
operation.
E
The
ramp
project
itself
has
been
moving
along
smoothly.
Really
no
hiccups,
there.
We
are
working
on
phase
15,
now
14
and
then
moving
into
15,
or
so
that's
that's
for
constructed
14
14,
and
then
we
have
been
working
with
avco
as
well.
So
we
know
I
have
co
and
then
the
270
group
for
the
collective
projects
that
are
happening
out
here
and
another
group
that's
going
potentially
to
build
a
hangar
or
it's
just
a
cargo
facility
here
on
the
the
loop
that
has
an
option
on
the
property
at
the.
C
E
Oh
yes,
lc9
will
be
going
to
routes
not
next
week,
but
the
week
after
routes
is
it's
kind
of
like
speed
dating
with
airlines,
so
we'll
be
meeting
with.
I
think
13
at
this
point
airlines
to
talk
about
service
in
an
elerado
and
we're
working
right
now
on
individual
presentations
for
each
airline,
depending
on
that
airline,
where
they
service
and
what
we
think
is
a
potential
market
for
it.
E
It's
really
the
only
time
you
can
kind
of
get
in
close
contact
with
the
airlines.
Personally,
that's
the
first
meeting
that
they've
had
in
over
a
year
with
covet
a
lot
of
the
airlines
have
started
to
do
some
unorthodox
things.
E
We've
seen
a
lot
of
different
services
start,
which
is,
is
good,
but
it's
kind
of
different
from
the
norm,
so
we're
hoping
to
see
maybe
capitalize
on
some
of
what
they've
the
changes
that
they
made.
Something
like
southwest,
in
particular
the
conversation
before
covid
was
capacity
constraint
right.
There
wasn't
enough
planes,
there
wasn't
enough
pilots
and
so
on
average
they
opened
about
two
new
airports
a
year.
Last
year
they
opened
17
because
you
know
everything
kind
of
went
south.
E
You
know
if
you
look
at
our
reports,
like
I
said
this
last
month,
we're
actually
about
a
thousand
passengers
more
than
where
we
were
so
we're
sitting,
seven
or
eight
percent
higher
than
normal,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
airports
out
there
that
are
50,
60
percent
down
just
depending
on
what
their
market
base
is.
We've
seen
a
lot
of
tourist
destinations
come
up
with
airlines,
that's
a
lot
of
where
people
have
been
willing
to
travel,
but
now
business
is
starting
to
come
back.
So
I
think
we
have
a
good
case.
E
65
percent
was
good
for
them
at
the
price
tickets
that
they
were
giving,
so
they
were,
they
were
content
with
it,
but
it
also
it
was
a
hard
story
for
us
to
add
capacity,
because
we
still
have
a
plan
that
has
35
percent
of
empty
seats,
so
they
were
happy
with
the
flight.
There
wasn't
a
risk
of
the
flight
going
away,
but
it
made
the
conversation
hard
when
I
started
talking
about
new
service,
but
now
that
we've
seen
that
shift
a
little
bit.
I
think
that
that
helps
us
as
a
community
and
we've.
E
E
Southwest
out
of
san
antonio,
they
fly
out
of
here
in
our
existing
carriers,
but
over
the
last
six
months,
we've
seen
that
start
to
dip
down
to
about
69
percent,
so
we're
taking
about
10
of
those
passengers
back
out.
Here,
I
think,
there's
multiple
factors.
We,
you
know,
we've
all
done
the
price
comparison
calculator.
E
They
have
the
website
now,
which
I
think
is
a
tool
that
the
community
can
use
that
gives
them
the
true
cost
between
flying
from
laredo
or
flying
from
san
antonio
or
austin,
but
there's
also
the
other
component
that
you
know
with
covid
with
pandemic.
You
know
flying
maybe
more
local.
Having
less
time
in
that
security
checkpoint.
I
think
there's
some.
You
know
different
avenues
and
anomalies
that
are
happening
there,
but
you
know
we're
capitalizing
on
some
of
that
and
bringing
those
people
back
into
the
laredo
market
and
actually
get
to
use.
E
I
think
us
they
haven't
seen
before.
So
you
know
we're
seeing
that
at
least
moving
in
the
right
direction.
E
I
know
there
was
a
recommendation
for
pins
for
board
members
and
ashley
is
working
on
with
the
vendor
for
the
city
that
makes
our
pins
and
they'll
send
a
design
out
to
the
board
members
to
see.
If
you,
you
know,
you
approve
of
the
design
you
like
to
design
and
then
we
can
go
ahead
and
give
it.
G
E
G
A
E
E
When
you
look
at
the
new
square
footage
which
is
going
to
be
about,
I
think
28
000
square
feet
and
then
not
only
that
space,
but
we're
going
to
have,
I
think,
multiple
concession
locations
and
so
there's
the
the
kind
of
the
immediate
need
to
develop
a
space
and
then
expand
from
there
and
then
hopefully,
some
different
locations
that
allow
that
traveler.
That
kind
of
both
experiences,
hopefully
of
what
they're
looking
to
get,
maybe
something
that's
more
mainstream
but
then
potentially.
E
Right
but
yes,
it
would
you
know-
and
I
think
really
you
know,
to
see
what
what
we
potentially
could
get
back
and
a
lot
of
the
when
you
put
a
proposal
together
like
that
is:
what's
your
foot
traffic
based
off
of
employment?
Where
are
they
at?
How
much
dwell
time
is
there,
and
so,
as
we
start
to
put
those
together,
I
think
that
we'll
see
a
potential
situation
where,
hopefully
we
can
have
one
something
to
choose
from
whether
that's
a
national
brand
or
something
that's
more
local
yeah.
C
Team
unison
and
rsnh,
who
jeff
mentioned,
has
just
been
awarded
the
contract,
so
they're
going
to
be
conducting
that
study
and
then
also
they
are
going
to
be
having
meetings
with
our
local
restaurant
concessioners
in
the
area
and
then
put
those
two
together
like
the
national,
regional
and
local
different
concessionaires
that
would
be
available
and
then
see,
what's
also
their
appetite,
if
you
will
for
operating
at
our
airport.
I.
E
Think
where
we
really
struggle
before
was
presentation,
I
don't
think
it
was
what
people
expected
in
an
airport
venue
and
I
think
that
there
was
one
that
expectation
but
there's
also
contractual
items
in
there
to
you
know
be
here
when
there
are
departures
you
know
be
here
for
that:
6
a.m,
flight
that
7
a.m,
flight,
so
the
person
going
out
doesn't
have
to
go
out
with
an
empty
stomach
or
you
know.
E
But
you
know
we
work
to
get
the
vending
machines
in
here
with
credit
cards
which
we
have
now,
which
have
been
a
huge
help,
because
before
with
the
vending
that
we
had,
it
was
quarters
or
dollars,
and
most
people
don't
travel
with
that
type
of
currency
anymore,
and
so
that's
been
a
help.
But
you
know,
as
we
start
to
track
back
now.
I
think
really.
E
D
E
C
E
A
A
E
E
And
I
I
agree,
you
know
we
we
actually
even
with
visit
laredo
even
internally.
They
have
an
interesting,
a
nice
little
shop
down
at
the
new
visitor
center
down
by
the
international
bridge
and
they
sell
a
lot
of
the
laredo
themed
items.
You
know
people
expect,
if
you
forget,
to
buy
your
wife
or
your
husband.
E
E
Right
so
we've
talked
about
potential
investment,
either
direct
from
us
or
potential
vendor
into
maybe
something
that's
more
of
a
digital
footprint
that
allows
you
know
someone
to
come
in
and
purchase
an
item
without
having
an
actual
individual
there,
and
I
think
that's
really
where
the
study
can
get
us
to
the
point
of
saying.
E
Okay,
here's
where
we
think
to
sell
somebody
to
say,
yeah,
put
that
staff
member
there
or
invest
in
the
technology,
because
that's
I
think
more
of
the
uphill
battle
is
trying
to
get
those
individuals
to
understand
the
need,
because
I
agree
that
you
know:
there's
there's
definitely
a
market
for
people
to
get
something
because
a
lot
of
times
what
we
see,
especially
with
the
business
travelers.
They
come
to
the
radio
they
go
to
their
meeting.
They
come
back
to
the
airport
and
they
leave
and
they
never
really
get
to
experience
the
community.
A
G
E
E
But
what
happens
with
the
business
model
around
the
region
like
that
is
you're.
Not
probably
I
mean
there
are
some
startups,
so
there's
there's
potential
conversation,
but
realistically,
where
I
would
see
us
probably
leading
towards,
is
more
like
an
austin
just
be
by
the
distance,
because
you
start
talking
about
profit
margins
for
these
carriers,
aircraft,
size
and
distance,
and
that
leap
there
is
kind
of
hard.
I
know
you
know
just
people
see
the
san
antonio,
but
they
see
it
because
they
want
the
lower
fare.
E
So
I
think
we're
trying
to
get
people
to
understand
the
drive
versus
the
fare
and
the
true
cost
of
you
know
what
you're
going
to
pay.
If
you're
going
to
get
a
ride
from
your
friend
and
you're
not
going
to
park,
then
yeah
san
antonio,
is
probably
your
better
bet.
But
if
you're,
it's
a
true
calculator
to
show
that,
because
I
do
you
know,
I
don't
want
to
be
a
debbie
downer
on
the
san
antonio
situation,
but
I
do
think
just
the
way
that
the
airlines
are
developed
today.
E
I
think,
to
establish,
but
then
also
with
an
aircraft
type
like
that
to
make
it
a
price
point
where
people
would
find
it
attractive
and
not
still
drive
from
here
to
san
antonio,
but
the
further
distance
you
get
the
more.
I
think
appealing
you
can
make
kind
of
those
arguments,
and
I
think
that
there
can
be
with
some
of
the
carriers
we're
talking
to
a
potential
argument
like
in
austin.
E
E
It's
based
around
volume
right,
take
individuals
from
a
laredo,
a
san
angelo,
a
corpus
christi
dump
them
into
a
dallas
and
then
have
the
volume
to
send
from
there.
And
so
I
think
there
are
some
avenues
for
maybe
a
regional
aspect.
E
I
just
I
don't
know
if
san
antonio
is
is
probably
that
right,
a
realistic
market
with
some
of
the
carriers
just
because
it
is-
and
I
get
asked
that
all
the
time-
and
you
know
obviously
we
would-
we
would
always
be
open
to
have
conversations
with
people,
but
it
doesn't,
I
think,
realistically,
it
probably
would
have
to
be
further
out
for
us
to
make
that
appealing
to
an
operator
and
also
to
the
passengers
that
that
would
make
sense
for
them,
because
a
route
like
a
san
antonio,
too
san
antonio,
is
big
compared
to
us,
but
they're,
not
big,
compared
to
dallas
and
campus.
E
So
you
can't
get
everywhere.
You
need
to
go
out
of
san
antonio
yeah,
so
you
start
talking
about
connection
points
from
there
as
well.
So
that's
how
a
hub
and
spoke
system
works
where
you
start
talking
about
like
an
iah
or
dfw,
and
you
get
those
more
robust
connection
points
and
it
makes
those
a
little
more.
I
think,
appealing
for
the
airlines,
because
now
they
can.
You
know:
okay,
one,
stop
you
get
to
all
these
areas.
E
You
know,
especially
when
we
start
talking
international,
it's
a
little
more
limited,
but
it's
I
mean
point
well
taken
and
and
we're
definitely
working
with,
I
think
different
avenues.
Each
each
airline,
we
craft
a
little
bit
different
message
too,
of
what
we
think
based
off
the
data
that
we
have,
because
we
get
really
good
data
who's
flying
from
laredo
and
where
they're
going
on
their
existing
route
structures
and
what
we
think
could
potentially
make
sense
for
them
in
a
laredo
market.
F
B
E
I
did
I
know
we
talked
briefly
about
it.
El
ashley
is
going
to
take
some
of
the
attendance
and
send
it
along
to
not
only
city
secretary
but
to
the
council
member
assistants,
because
with
our
new
rule
we
are
everybody
here
does
get
a
an
absence.
That's
not
here,
so
you
know
we're
getting
to
the
point
with
some.
I
think
members
where
they'll
be
restricted
not
only
from
the
way
the
rule
works
is.
E
A
E
Chairman's
point
maybe
send
an
email
out
to
see
if
there's
something
that
works
better.
I
know,
city
has
said
no
more
virtual
unless
there's
a
special
accommodation
and
I
think
we
have
to
record
down
what
that
special
accommodation
would
be,
but
for
now
it
has
to
be
well
moving
forward
from
unless
something
else
changes
it's
in
person,
but
maybe
shifting
the
day
or
the
time.
Maybe
that's
what's
an
issue
for
people.
I
think
we
could
ask
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
A
E
Yeah,
I
don't
know
if
we
can
make
a
request.
City
secretary,
I
don't
know
if
there
the
last
statement
we
got
was
no
hybrids,
but
we
can
always
ask
again.
I
just
know
it's
kind
of
don't
think
that.
E
B
Sorry
question
has
the
vice
chair
been
notified
of
the
advisory
chair
position.
