A
B
Repres
senator
humphries,
I'm
sorry
senator
mcdaniel,
representative
reed,
representative
rudy,
representative
upchurch.
A
President
in
the
room,
thank
you.
A
We
will
call
the
role
again
at
the
end
for
the
members
that
we
didn't
get
a
response
from,
but
if
you
are
here
and
you
already
pre
signified
as
president
we're
going
to
pass
over
you
at
this
time
since
we
do
have
a
quorum,
we
need
approval
of
the
minutes
so
mood.
I
need
a
second,
so
moved
all
in
favor.
Please
indicate
by
eye
any
negative
response
if
no
the
minutes
are
approved.
A
C
C
All
right,
sir
good
good,
want
to
make
sure
the
technical
we
were
working.
Our
technology
was
functioning,
okay.
Well,
first
things.
First,
let
me
thank
you,
the
leadership
of
this
committee
yourself.
I
see
senator
higgins
on
the
with
us
as
well
senator
hickman.
Thank
you
thanks
for
the
meeting
yesterday,
I
always
want
to
acknowledge
the
relationships
that
we
have
with
the
committee
leadership
and
the
members
and
also
the
leadership
of
the
general
assembly
in
both
the
house
and
senate.
C
C
You
know
they
say
that
battleships
don't
make
right-hand
turns,
but
I
would
I
would
argue
against
that
in
the
case
of
my
understanding
of
is
the
transportation
department
itself
and
or
the
transportation
cabinet
rather,
and
we've
done
just
that.
So
with
that,
mr
chairman,
let
me
let
me
begin
by
introducing
those
who
are
going
to.
I
would
characterize
as
our
subject
matter,
experts
who
are
going
to
address
going
to
address
the
agenda
items
that
you've
got
today
and
if
you'll
allow
me,
mr
chairman,
I
will.
C
I
will
go
ahead
and
introduce
each
of
those
at
the
beginning,
and
then
you
all
can
comments
and
questions
at
the
conclusion
of
each
person's
presentation
would
work
or,
however,
you
prefer
it.
Okay
will
that
work.
C
All
right,
thank
you,
sir.
So
the
topic
today
is
the
use
of
federal
funds
by
the
transportation
cabinet
and
I
am
joined
today
by,
as
I
said,
three
subject
matter.
Experts
on
that
first
is
ron
rigney
and
then
vicki,
bourne
and
todd
block.
So
first
on
the
first
up
is
ron
ridney
and
mr
chairman,
I
know
that
you
know
ron
rigney
well,
ryan
was
the
director
of
the
office
of
program
management,
and
I
suspect
that
many
others
in
the
room
today
or
virtually
with
us,
also
know
ron.
Well.
C
His
father
was
an
engineer
casey
county,
where
one
where
ron
also
grew
up,
but
his
father
was
an
engineer
with
the
transportation
cabinet
in
the
60s
when
our
interstate
highway
system
was
being
built.
So
there's
a
long
legacy
there.
So
ron
is
also
the
person
in
the
cabinet
who
actually
inputs
the
cash
into
our
system.
So
there's
nobody
better
to
talk
about
the
funding
formula
than
ryan
ridney
and
then
following
ron
is
vicki
bourne
executive
director
of
the
office
of
transportation,
delivery,
vicky
is
back
with
kytc.
C
She
has
a
remarkable
has
had
a
remarkable
tenure
and
career
with
the
cabinet.
She
has
held
the
position
from
20
from
2001
to
2018
long
history
of
service
in
the
cabinet.
She
was
inducted.
Importantly,
I
want
to
share
this
with
you
all.
She
was
inducted
into
the
kentucky
transportation
hall
of
fame
in
2013
and
into
the
kentucky
public
transit
hall
of
fame
in
1999..
C
So
vicky
will
be
second
on
our
agenda
today
to
talk
about
the
transportation,
delivery,
transit
and
funding
formulas
and
rounding
out.
Our
presenters
is
someone
that
many
of
you
also
know
well
and
that's
todd
block.
Our
commissioner
of
kentucky
department
of
aviation
todd
was
named
commissioner.
After
serving
for
two
years
as
deputy
commissioner
and
before
he
joined
the
cabinet.
C
Aviation
is
todd's
passion
and
his
military
background
is
a
part,
a
big
part
of
that
it
included
logistics
and
finance.
Today
you
will
hear
him
describe
the
federal
aviation
funding
formula
along
with
similar
to
what
the
others
will
be.
So
let
me
let
me
turn
it
over
to
ron
rigney
now.
A
D
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
committee
members,
lrc
staff
members.
Thank
you
all
for
for
providing
the
powerpoint
there
on
the
screen
for
us.
D
Mr
chairman,
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
I
did
put
my
email
address
there
on
the
very
front
page
and
and
as
we
go
through
the
powerpoint
presentation,
you
will
see
that
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
the
powerpoint
and
but
I
wanted
to
put
that
information
in
there
so
that
it
it
could
be
used
as
a
reference
back
to
you
all
at
a
future
time
when
you,
when
you,
when
you're
looking
back
and
you're
thinking
well
ron
mentioned
something
about
that
in
the
powerpoint,
and
you
can
go
back
to
this
powerpoint
presentation
and
if
you've
got
questions,
just
just
email
me
and
we'll
try
to
work
through
those
and
try
to
get
the
information
to
you
as
as
we
can.
D
So.
I
guess
for
for
the
record.
My
name
is
ron
rigney
and
I'm
the
transportation
engineer
director
for
the
division
of
program
management
at
the
transportation
cabinet.
Next
slide.
Please-
and
we
always
like
to
remind
everyone
of
our
the
kytc
mission,
to
provide
a
safe,
efficient,
environmentally
sound
and
physically
responsible
transportation
system
that
delivers
economic
opportunity
and
enhances
the
quality
of
life
in
kentucky
next
slide.
Please.
D
D
The
federated
highway
program
is
mentioned.
It
is
a
reimbursement
program.
It
requires
state
matching
funds.
The
majority
of
our
kytc
federally
funded
projects
are
80
percent,
federal
and
20
percent
state
match.
We
do
have
some
projects
like
our
highway
safety
improvement
program
that
may
be
90
percent,
federal
and
10
percent
state,
but
the
majority
of
the
projects
are
are
80,
20.,
the
kytc
or
the
cabinet.
D
D
D
Now
fast
act
is
what
we
are
operating
under
now.
It
was
approved
back
in
december.
The
4th
in
2015,
it
was
fast
act,
actually
expired
september,
the
30th
of
2020
of
this
year.
D
However,
congress
has
passed
a
continuing
resolution,
extending
the
fast
act
through
reception
and
that
has
been
approved
by
congress
and
signed
into
law
by
president
trump
next
slide.
Please.
D
Also,
the
the
estimated
federal
aid
highway
funding
for
kentucky
is
at
736
million,
and
just
a
footnote
on
that
that
is
the
the
736
million
is
what
we
used
when
we
were
preparing
the
2020
highway
plan.
We
knew
that
the
current
act
will
be
expiring
in
in
september
of
this
year,
but
we
went
ahead
and
did
a
straight
line
projection
using
the
736
in
hopes
that
congress
would
pass
a
similar
program
next
slide.
Please.
D
Now
the
fact
that
the
continuing
resolution
it
began
on
october
1st
of
2020
and
it
ends
on
december
11
2020..
Now
that
is
the
continued
resolution
or
the
actual
the
allocation
of
the
federal
aid
highway
funds.
They
passed
a
the
as
mentioned.
They
have
extended
the
transportation
act
through
september
30th
of
21,
but
they
have
only
approved
allocations
for
a
72-day
period.
D
D
Now
one
of
the
one
of
the
items
I
mentioned
was
advanced
construction,
how
we
would
strategically
use
our
dollars
and
what
really
what
advanced
construction
is.
Is
it's
simply
a
mechanism
that
allows
states
to
commit
future
federal
funding
to
a
project
initiated
today
and
what
we
call
that
we
call
that
our
federal
credit
card-
I
know
you
all
in
the
past-
have
heard
me
mention
that
and
what
that
does.
D
D
Until
those
federal
aid
highway
program
funding
is
available,
then
we
can
seek
reimbursement
of
project
expenditures
and
if
that
is
key
because
it
using
their
federal
credit
card,
we
can
move
projects
ahead
because,
as
you
well
know,
sometimes
there's
there's
actually
a
lot
of
things
going
on
behind
the
scene
to
keep
projects
moving,
but
expenditures
are
not
occurring
greatly
at
the
time,
but
we
can
keep
activity
moving.
So
with
that,
that's
what
we
mean
by
when
we
advance
construct
something.
D
Okay,
advanced
construction,
that's
part
of
the
overall
or
cash
management
process.
We
monitor
it
with
the
overall
available
state
road
funds
and
the
current
advanced
construction
amount
on
the
books
today
is
908
million.
Now,
however,
that's
that's
down
from
1.2
billion
in
january
of
this
year.
D
That's
that's
a
a
lot
on
the
the
credit
card,
but
as
of
october,
the
13th
2020.
We
only
have
57
million
of
expenditures
from
projects
associated
with
that
908
million.
That's
on
the
ac
that
we're
waiting
on
available
federal
funds
to
seek
reimbursement
so
again
by
the
the
mechanism
of
using
their
advanced
construction.
We
can.
We
can
move
projects,
keep
them
in
moving
while
we're
waiting
on
future
federal
funds
and
still
maintaining
their
cash
management
process.
D
D
Okay,
the
usdot
infrared
bill
projects,
the
enterprises,
the
acronym,
is
for
infrastructure
for
rebuilding
america.
Okay,
that's
what
emperor,
what
it
means
it's!
The
acronym
is
infrastructure
for
rebuilding
america.
Now
we
have
been
forcing
we
kentucky
through
the
transportation
project
cabinet.
Through
our
projects,
we've
been
fortunate
to
receive
two
infra
funding
for
two
infra
funded
projects
in
2018.
D
D
Very
very
good
project
that
project
is
currently
underway.
It's
already
been
awarded
and
we're
approximately
18
complete
on
that
project.
D
The
one
foot
note
on
that
I
would
have
you
to
look
at
is
that
the
local
commitment
from
that
and
one
of
the
things
in
the
review
of
infra
projects
when
you
turn
in
the
application
seeking
infrared
funds,
the
usdot
look
at
a
local
commitment
of
to
leverage
non-federal
funds
to
with
federal
funds
and
the
local
commitment
on
that
project.
D
Boone
county
committed
two
and
a
half
million
dollars,
and
there
was
also
500
000
in
private
donations.
So
basically,
three
million
dollars
was
associated
with
the
funding
for
that
project.
D
The
the
next
slide
will
show
the
actual
funding
breakdown
on
that,
but
for
sake
of
time
I
know
we've
got
a
lot
to
talk
about
today,
we'll
move
on
in
into
the
the
next
infra
project.
D
D
D
From
the
end
of
the
next
to
captain
on
up
to
where
we're
tying
into
the
currently,
where
we're
widening
now
so
that
will
fill
in
the
gap
of
the
the
four
lanes
from
campton
up
to
saggersfield
we're.
We
are
currently
working
on
the
design,
moved
into
the
right
way
and
utility
phase
and
we're
pushing
to
have
that
project
ready
to
let
to
construction
by
spring
of
2022.
D
A
moving
head
into
our
usdot
bill
grant
projects
and
the
the
acronym
build
is
for
better
utilizing
investments
to
leverage
development.
That's
the
acronym
for
build
better
utilizing
investments
to
leverage
development
kentucky
has
been
fortunate,
the
transportation
cabinet
we
have
received,
build
funding
for
seven
highway
plan
projects.
D
D
Also
in
2018,
we
received
25
million
of
usdot
bill
grant
funds
for
the
pulaski
county.
The
kentucky
461
project
that
project
is
already
has
already
been
awarded.
We
awarded
that
back
in
early
october.
It
was
let
september
25th
when
awarded
early
october,
a
footnote
on
that
one
is,
and
I
failed
to
mention
on
the
the
callaway
county,
that
there
were
some
local
commitments
from
the
callaway
and
city
of
mary.
They
each
actually
committed
500
000,
each
the
callaway
county
and
the
city
of
murray
for
the
callaway
county
project
on
the
pulaski
county
project.
D
The
local
commitment
for
the
project
was
5
million
dollars
that
came
through
the
county
through
their
somerset
pulaski
economic,
economic
development
authority
and
also
there
was
a
45
000
private
donation
for
right
away.
So
big
commitment
from
the
local
community
on
that
project.
D
In
2019,
we
received
a
usb
us
build
grant
for
the
bourbon
county
project.
This
is
in
bourbon
county
on
u.s
460,
the
reconstruction
of
460.,
the
we're
currently
in
the
design
phase
and
right
away
acquisition,
phase
relocation
of
utility
phase.
Moving
ahead
with
that
project,
the
local
commitment
on
that
project
from
bourbon
county
was
1
million
dollars.
D
They,
the
bourbon
county,
committed
one
million
towards
the
pro
cost
of
that
project.
We're
pushing
that
project,
moving
ahead,
open
habit,
ready
to
schedule
for
a
july
of
2021,
letting
that's
our
target
date
for
that
next
slide.
Please.
D
Actually,
we
don't
actually
need
any
right
away,
but
we're
moving
ahead
with
the
project,
interesting
local
commitment
there,
taylor,
county,
marion
county,
camelsville
and
lebanon.
They
each
made
a
local
commitment
of
375
000
each
towards
that
cost
of
that
project
and
we're
pushing
that
project
ahead
and
we
are
hoping
to
have
it
ready
to
let
in
january
of
2021
again
in
january
2021,
so
moving
that
project
forward
next
slide.
D
D
In
2020,
we
received
13
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
usdlt
bill
grant
for
our
logan
and
todd
county
project,
and
this
is
this
is
working
four
bridges,
reconstruction
of
four
bridges
on
us-79
widening
the
bridges
we
are
into
the
the
getting
design
started
in
those
projects.
D
Moving
ahead
with
that,
and
there
was
a
300
000
local
commitment
from
logan
county
and
300
000
local
commitment
from
todd
county
on
those
projects,
we're
moving
those
projects
ahead
and
scheduled
to
have
those
ready
to
let
to
construction
by
september
of
2022..
D
Next
slide,
please
also
in
2020,
we
received
15
million
dollars
of
usdot
bill
grant
funds
for
the
wheatley
county,
the
u.s
25w
project
there
in
the
city
of
corbin
the
we're
under
design
on
that
we're
waiting
on
getting
our
agreement
through
fhwa
before
we
can
actually
authorize
the
right-of-way
funds,
but
we're
we're
close
on
having
that
ready,
so
we're
pushing
on
that
to
get
that
process
through
fhwa
and
usdot,
and
we're
looking
for
a
september
of
2022
letting
interesting
on
that
project.
D
Also
in
2020,
we
received
9.6
million
of
usdot
bill
grant
funds
for
our
kenton
county
project,
our
kentucky,
536
and
interesting
this
project.
Here
we
are
moving
ahead
with
it,
ready
to
have
it
for
a
march
2021,
letting
there
was
a
local
commitment
of
funding
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
city
of
independence
and
two
hundred
thousand
from
kenton
county,
but
what's
interesting
on
this
project
here
it
actually
connects
to
our
boom
57.5
million
dollars
of
infra
dollars.
That's
currently
under
construction.
D
A
I
see
none
ron,
I'm
just
going
to
want
to
compliment
you
on
a
outstanding
presentation.
A
I
know
that
transportation
does
help
and
more
or
less
when
we
go
for
these
infra
grants
and
bill
grants
give
guidance,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
it
seems
like
usdot-
wants
a
lot
of
partnership
as
far
as
funding,
and
I
think
our
local
communities
and
all
have
stepped
up,
and
I
think
that's
really
benefits
us
to
receive
this
funding.
I
know
they're
not
grants
and
I
say
they're
free
money,
but
actually
it's
a
lot
of
work
involved
when
we
receive
that
free
money.
A
E
E
E
Our
major
program
will
be
the
care
stimulus
grant,
which
is
formula
funds
for
the
rural
public
transit
agency
under
other
types
of
funding.
We
will
discuss
the
volkswagen
settlement
funds
and
I
will
end
with
the
impact
on
the
continuing
resolution
under
the
fast
act
regarding
the
fta's
fy21
funding
authorization
level.
E
E
E
One
apportionment
will
be
specified
for
the
urban
area,
with
a
population
over
two
hundred
thousand
one
for
the
small
urban
which
are
areas
between
fifty
thousand
and
two
hundred
thousand
and
one
authorization
for
our
rural
areas
under
50
000
in
population,
which
is
basically
110
counties
with
the
new
census.
We
could
have
areas
such
as
paducah
to
move
up
from
the
rural
area
to
the
small
urban
area.
E
Urban
areas
such
as
louisville
lexington
or
the
northern
kentucky
will
apply
directly
to
fta.
We
sometimes
include
the
large
urban
areas.
With
our
discretionary
grant
application.
Some
small
urban
transit
providers
may
choose
to
apply
through
our
office.
For
example,
we
have
applied
for
grants
on
behalf
of
the
e-town
or
bowling
green.
E
E
Please
we
will
review
the
local
grant
applications
determine
the
needs
and
justification
the
coming
year.
The
rural
transit
operators
have
historically
come
in
to
maintain
their
current
operations
and
request
replacement
vehicles.
The
statewide
rule
grant
is
submitted
for
federal
transit
approval
with
details
on
abortion
funds,
how
many
will
be
spent
and
how
the
projects
will
be.
E
In
accordance
with
the
federal
guideline,
after
federal
award,
we
will
contract
with
the
various
agencies
throughout
the
rural
kentucky
agencies
as
far
west
as
the
mississippi
river
that
includes
fulton
county
transit
all
across
the
commonwealth
to
the
sandy
valley,
transportation
area.
The
rural
transit
operators
deal
with
two
time
zones.
41
counties
are
in
the
central
standard
time
zone
and
79
are
in
the
eastern
standard
time
zone
the
various
kentucky
terrain,
with
the
flat
rolling
heels
and
the
mountainous
areas,
or
sometimes
will
dictate
the
type
of
vehicles
they
can
utilize.
E
E
Capital
projects
consist
of
mainly
rolling
stock,
our
vans,
our
buses,
our
lift
equipped
vehicles.
It
can
also
include
transit
software,
bus
shelters,
construction
and
renovation
of
transit
facility
in
the
state
fiscal
year.
20
we
spent
12.4
million
in
capital
transit
planning
includes
both
the
metropolitan
planning
mpo
and
the
area
development
districts.
649

spent
in

E
E
Under
the

as
mentioned
in
the
carrier's
apportionment
with
60.5
million,
this
is
our
major
fda
grant
in
fact,
kentucky's
rural
transit
history.
We've
never
had
received
such
a
large
enforcement.
It
provides
100
federal
funding
to
help
transit
agencies
continue
to
operate
during
the
pandemic.
E
Of
this
section,
5311
cares.
We
have
four
construction
or
renovation
projects,
the
future
construction
of
the
new
multimodal

garage
in
frankfort
for

the

the
renovation

the
amount
of

million
and
the
expansion
of
a
current

The
hopkinsfield
project
has
moved
further
along
than
the
others,
while
they
are
under
the
federal
environmental
consideration.
E
E
We
have
after
canvassing
the
state
had
four
applicants.
All
four
applicants
met
the
volkswagen
settlement,
requirements
to
purchase
vehicles
and
cleaner

These
four
areas
in
the
state
will
apply

The

E
The

and
the

tarc
is

In
kentucky
in
our
northern

we
have
the
transit
authority
of
northern
kentucky,
called
tank
tank
will
purchase,
640
foot
clean
diesel
replacement

with
a

and
two
all-electric
transit

with
a
volkswagen

of
1.5

for
the
project.
E
E
As
ron
stated
on
october,
1st,
the
president
signed
a
continuing
resolution
into
law.
The
federal
transit
spending
as
the
highway
is
continued
through
december
11
2020.,
the
appropriations
and
awards
can
move
forward.
But,
however,
after
that
day
we
will
not
be
able
to
do
budget
amendments
or
revisions
until
we
get
a
new
budget.
E
Some
of
our
national
transit
folks
think
that,
given
the
fairly
short
duration
of
the
continued
resolution,
it's
unlikely
that
fta
will
be
issuing
any
partial
year
apportionments
for
fy21.
Well,
what
so?
What
will
our
fy21
enforcement
be
because,
again,
it's
based
on
population
and
based
on
ridership
ridership
being
down
which
means
enforcement
could
go
down,
but
I
was
told
yesterday
by
the
federal
transit
administration
that
we
will
be
having
the
same
level
of
funding
for
fy21
and
they
will
not
rely
on
the
covered
ridership
months
to
establish
the
fy
21
enforcements.
E
I
would
like
to
end
by
saying
that
our
public
transportation
providers
have
struggled
and
been
challenged
during
the
covert
pandemic.
However,
they're
dedicated
and
they're
very
creative,
they
continue
to
transport
essential
personnel
to
hospitals
into
businesses
when
they
run
out
of
sanitizer,
they
purchased
vodka
and
they
made
their
own.
They
could
not
find
the
plexiglass
they
would
install,
but
between
the
driver
and
the
passenger
they
used
clear
shower
curtain.
They
continued
to
take
our
most
vulnerable
citizens
to
medical
appointments,
to
dialysis,
to
cancer
treatments
to
the
grocery
and
pharmacy.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
vicky
a
great
presentation
in
in
my
community.
I
I
noticed
the
same
thing
with
our
transit.
They
were
very,
very
man.
They
went
out
far
along
and
doing
things
to
get
people
on
those
buses
to
make
sure
the
driver
is
safe,
because
without
the
driver,
then
we
have
no,
no,
no
transportation.
Does
any
members
have
a
question
or
comment
remotely
or
presently?
If
not.
Thank
you
again,
vicky
for
presentation.
Welcome.
Next,
we
have
the
office
trip
todd
lot
from
the
commissioner.
A
If
you
are
available-
and
I
see
you
please
proceed.
F
I'd
like
to
introduce
myself,
I
am
todd
block,
commissioner
of
the
department
of
aviation,
and
it's
been
my
honor
to
get
to
work
on
kentucky
airports
now
for
several
years.
I
want
to
thank
our
chairman,
representative
santoro
and
senator
higgins
and
thank
the
committee
for
letting
you
letting
me
speak
about
airports
in
aviation
and
thank
you,
secretary
gray,
for
that
kind
introduction.
A
Okay,
wait
a
minute:
we
have
technical
difficulties.
You
know
we're
two
for
three.
So
if
you're
we're
betting
66,
let's
try
100
here
sorry,
todd.
F
F
Okay,
as
you
as
you
probably
know,
or
realize,
the
the
federal
highway
administration
puts
the
ball
in
kytc's
hands
when
it
comes
to
the
use
of
federal
funds.
F
But
that
is
not
the
case
in
aviation.
The
faa
for
the
most
part
deals
directly
with
our
air.
A
Sorry
todd
I'm
going
to
interrupt
you
again.
The
the
members
remotely
are
able
to
see
it
that
our
members
in
the
room
who
drove
here
will
not
be
able
to
see
the
presentation,
but
we
will
be
able
to
provide
that
so
just
continue
on.
F
All
right,
we,
we
will
endeavor
to
persevere,
and
I
will
ensure
that
people
who
aren't
able
to
see
this
live
show
that
this
is
probably
the
best
slideshow
they
never
got
to
see.
F
We
deal
directly
with
the
faa
through,
what's
known
as
the
airport's
district
office,
which
is
located
in
memphis
and
in
memphis.
There
is
a
person
assigned
to
be
a
manager
for
each
one
of
our
airports
and
there's
not
57
managers,
there,
there's
five
or
six
that
divide
up
our
57
airports.
F
F
B
F
The
federal
government
funds
airports
through
the
airport
and
airways
federal
trust
fund.
Many
people-
don't
know
that
many
people
think
it's
their
tax
dollars
that
are
serving
the
airports.
But
it's
not.
It
was
a
fund
established
in
1970
and
it
basically
is
completely
made
up
of
excise
taxes
applied
to
domestic
passenger
tickets,
domestic
flight
segments
and
international
passenger
arrival
and
departures,
the
purchase
of
air
travel
miles
or
even
frequent
flyer
miles
or
similar
programs,
air
cargo
way
bills
and
aviation
fuel
purchases.
F
But
the
single
largest
source
of
the
excise
tax
revenue
for
that
fund
comes
from
the
transportation
of
passengers
which,
unfortunately,
for
this
year,
is
down
significantly.
F
But
the
trust
fund
is
was
quite
robust
and
the
federal
government
is
assured
that
it's
it's
going
to
remain
solvent.
So
the
faa
uses
that
money
for
several
purposes
but
of
the
three
that
are
listed
on
the
slide,
which
for
the
people
who
can't
speak.
F
They
use
the
funding
for
construction
and
safety
improvements
at
airports,
technology
upgrades
in
aircraft
control
and
conduct
ffa
operations.
The
one
we're
concerned
with
is
the
construction
and
safety
improvements
at
airports
and
the
faa
funds.
Those
projects
through
something
known
as
the
airport
improvement
plan
or
aip.
F
Aip
is
a
grant
program
that
is
set
up
to
distribute
those
funds
properly
to
the
airports
and,
interestingly
enough,
the
aip
program
is
very
explicit.
It
says
what
you
can
use
the
funding
for
it's
not
it's
not
of
you.
You
come
up
with
a
project
and
if
it's,
if
it's
not
on
that
list,
you're
not
going
to
do
it.
So
the
faa
has
very
strict
guidelines
when
it
comes
to
the
use
to
aip.
F
The
general
for
people
who
can't
see
the
slideshow
eligible
items
usually
include
airport
safety
capacity,
security,
preserving
infrastructure
and
meeting
faa
standards
and
environmental
concerns.
Those
are
the
five
main
things
and
of
those
five
things.
The
first
dollar
that
the
faa
spends
is
going
to
be
on
safety
and
it
starts
at
the
center
of
the
runway.
F
If
you
don't
know,
america
has
the
largest
most
robust
air
space
and
air
transit
system
in
the
world
at
any.
Given
time
there
are
over
43
000
flights
flying
there
are
20
000
airports,
5000
of
them
are
public
use
and
annually
more
than
55
million
air
operations
which
are
take
off
and
landings
of
full
pla
planes
full
of
passengers,
and
for
the
last
14
years
there
have
been
only
10
fatalities
and
that's
per
the
current
faa
administrators
factbook.
F
F
Their
record
of
safety
continues
and
that
we
have
the
most
robust
service
in
the
world
to
receive
aip
funding.
Airports
must
be
aip
eligible,
and
so
we've
got
the
next
slide
up.
Eligibility
is
a
determined
by
airports
that
are
on
the
national
plan
of
integrated
airports
systems
and
again,
that's
roughly
about
five
thousand
airports
across
the
nation
and
all
the
airports
are
categorized
into
one
of
three
categories:
they're,
a
passenger
or
commercial,
their
reliever
or
their
general
aviation.
C
F
Provide
passenger
and
or
cargo
service
we
have
one
reliever
airport,
that's
bowman
field
and
louisville
bowman
is
essential
to
keeping
the
general
aviation
and
corporate
business
traffic
off
of
the
big
runway
or
the
big
airport,
so
that
the
cargo
operations
and
passenger
operations
can
flow
more
smoothly,
and
then
we
have
of
our
57
airports.
53
of
them
are
classified
to
receive
aip
funding.
F
We
have
trade
water
in
colombia
and
two
state
park,
airports
that
do
not
need
classification
to
receive
aip
funds,
and
so
the
funding
goes
directly
to
the
sponsors
and
the
sponsors
are
airport
boards
at
our
ga
airports.
They
are
appointed
either
by
a
judge,
exec,
executive
or
a
mayor
and
in
some
cases,
both
federal
funds.
Aip
funds
come
with
a
local
match.
It's
10
percent
for
rga,
our
general
aviation
airports.
B
F
The
department
of
aviation
uses
our
budget
to
provide
7.5
percent
of
that
10
percent
match
for
our
ga
airports
annually.
We
budget
about
a
million
dollars
for
that,
and
this
is
a
really
important
to
a
lot
of
the
smaller
communities,
because
the
10
match
in
some
cases
can
be
significant.
So
it's
nice
to
be
able
to
help
them
out.
F
Every
time
an
airport
accepts
federal
dollars.
It
re-obligates
itself
to
the
faa,
to
keep
the
airport
open
and
in
working
condition,
and
because
of
the
way
that
our
federal
funds
are
distributed.
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
talk
about
specific
projects
like
ron
did.
I
will
be
able
to
talk
about
the
total
federal
dollars
snapchat
from
2020
and
give
you
an
idea
of
how
the
faa
distributes
that
money
in
kentucky.
So
here's
the
snapshot
of
of
federal
funding
for
2020,
and
it's
it's
unfortunate
for
the
people
who
can't
see
the
slideshow.
F
But
if
you
can
see
the
slideshow,
you
can
see
that
we
have
basically
divided
our
airports
into
our
commercial,
which
there
are
five
and
our
general
aviation
that
receive
funding
which
are
50
and
we've
divided
the
funding
up
into
regular
funding
and
most
years,
that's
all
you
would
see,
but
because
of
this
special
year,
there's
also
a
column
for
cares,
act
funding
and
then
we
total
that
and
so
for
regular
funding.
Our
commercial,
our
five
commercial
airports
receive
about
94
million
and
our
general
aviation
airports
receive
about
23
million.
F
So
the
total
funding
for
all
federal
funding
that
comes
to
kentucky
in
2020
is
208.8
million
dollars.
And
then
I
have
two
graphics
that
basically
break
out
how
that
show
how
that
funding
is
used.
You
can
there
a
pie
chart
and
it
shows
that
well.
F
Over
75
percent
of
the
total
funding
goes
to
the
five
airports
that
have
commercial
service
and
the
remaining
goes
to
50
ga
airports,
and
then
I
break
out
how
the
of
our
five
commercial
airports,
what
percentage
of
the
funding
they
receive
and
cvg
in
northern
kentucky,
receives
a
lion's
share
of
it
and
then
louisville
comes
up
next.
F
This
is
a
snapshot
like
I
said
it's
going
to
be
different.
Each
year
this
year,
paducah
and
lexington
show
up
as
about
being
equal.
Normally
lexington
would
receive
quite
a
bit
more
than
paducah,
but
paducah
is
getting
a
new
terminal
and
that's
kind
of
bumped
up
the
total
federal
dollars
they're
receiving.
F
F
I'd
also
like
to
add
that
what
this
slide
doesn't
show
is
that
our
ga
airports,
they
rely
almost
strictly
on
state
or
federal
funding,
and
they
don't
have
a
tremendous
ability
to
generate
revenue.
Our
our
commercial
service
airports
have
the
ability
to
create
revenue
through
parking
and
vendor
fees
and
passenger
fees,
and
usually
significant
jet
fuel
sales,
but
our
smaller
airports,
rga
airports,
don't
have
the
ability
to
do
that.
F
So
that's
kind
of
another
neat
reason
why
kda's
mission
is
to
support
our
general
aviation
airports
and
I
will
add,
and
when
you're
looking
at
these
big
dollars,
our
budget
kda's
budget
is
insufficient
to
be
used
at
commercial
airports.
On
a
regular
basis,
though,
we
do
support
projects
at
our
large
airports.
F
It's
usually
some
particular
circumstance
that
leads
to
that.
But
if
you
consider
the
costs
and
the
budgets
at
commercial
airports,
if
you
look
to
use
kda
funding
at
commercial
airports,
I
kind
of
equate
it
to
rating
your
eight-year-old's
piggy
bank
to
help
pay
the
mortgage
in
the
car
note.
But
the
pennies
in
that
bank
don't
really
make
a
difference
on
those
bills,
but
it
sure
makes
a
big
impact
on
your
child.
F
So
that's
just
my
way
of
saying:
we
need
to
keep
preserve
our
budget
for
its
intended
purpose,
which
is
keeping
our
general
aviation
airports
in
the
best
condition
that
they
can
be
in
it's
it's
an
essential
role
so
because
the
federal
funding
goes
straight
to
the
airports,
kda
really
only
gets
to
touch
the
funds
that
go
to
our
force
date
on
airports,
which
is
the
airport
here
in
frankfurt
capital,
city
airport
and
then
three
state
park,
airports,
lake
barkley,
rough
river
and
kentucky
dam
village.
B
F
Discretionary
money-
that's
going
to
be
spent
that
kentucky's
voice
is
heard.
There
is
almost
always
discretionary
money
that
the
faa
has
available
and
we
need
to
make
sure
they
that
the
faa
knows
that
and
some
of
our
big
wins
recently
is.
The
faa
has
agreed
to
build
the
new
airport
at
galton
county.
F
F
That
estimate
was
way
wrong
and
we
found
out
late
this
spring
that
it
was
about
half
of
what
was
needed
and
we
were
able
to
have
a
really
good
discussion
with
the
faa
and
get
the
faa
to
agree
to
come
up
with
that
extra
money
to
fund
the
full
8.3
million
dollar
project.
That's
getting
underway
now
and
then
big
sandy
airport
out
in
eastern
kentucky
because
of
some
geographic
constraints
or
they
were
about
to
be
forced
to
reduce
their
runway
length
for
safety
reasons
to
less
than
5000
feet.
F
So
that's
that's
where
our
role
really
is
and
then
in
the
horse
trading
arena
we're
able
to
work
with
the
faa
to
plan
projects.
F
Meet
the
faa's
goals,
but
also
meet
our
goals
and
an
example
of
that
is
our
our
park
airport
at
rough
river
needed
about
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
pavement
work
and
the
faa
recognized
that.
But
they
also
recognized
that
there
were
some
trees
that
created
an
obstruction
and
because
safety
is
the
first
place
they
spend
money.
They
wanted
to
spend
the
money
on
tree.
Clearing
well
tree.
Clearing
by
federal
standards
takes
three
times
as
long
and
costs
twice
as
much
as
it
does
by
state
standards.
F
So
we
were
able
to
horse
trade
with
them
to
get
to
make
it
so
that
kda
paid
for
the
tree
clearing
and
then
used
the
bigger
federal
dollars
to
pay
for
the
pavement.
So
that's.
F
Here's
a
picture
of
our
statewide
system.
You
can
see
our
airports
are
pretty
well
spread
across
the
state.
The
gallatin
county
airport
is
highlighted
or
actually
low,
lighted
in
light
white
up
there
on
the
top,
and
we
are
also
in
our
state
system
plan
that
was
completed
about
four
years
ago.
We
identified
a
need
down
in
lecher
county
and
we
have
got
the
faa.
F
Communities
without
air
access
will
be
disadvantaged,
just
like
not
having
access
to
high-speed
internet
businesses
will
look
elsewhere
for
growth,
so
we
use
our
funding
to
ensure
all
kentuckians
are
well
served
by
aviation
and
airports
next
slide
now
this
wasn't
asked,
but
this
is
what
kda's
role
is
in
funding.
F
We
we
know
our
airports
serve
their
communities,
but
they
also
create
workforce
and
commercial
aviation
which
serves
peoples
and
industries
throughout
the
world,
and
we
already
are
in
aviation
state.
It's
our
number
one
export
we're
still
number
two
in
the
nation
in
aviation
exports
and
expanding
our
role
of
our
airports
and
training,
pilots
and
mechanics
can
create
opportunities
for
young
people
and
help
feed
the
pipeline
for
our
known
world
shortage
of
pilots
and
mechanics.
F
So,
as
I
said,
you
know,
we
have
51
general
aviation
airports,
52nd
is
being
built
and,
like
I
said,
moving
forward
in
lecture
county,
but
we
only
have
four
people
who
work
full-time
on
our
airports
and
we
use
our
faa,
approved
state
system
plan,
pavement
analysis,
on-site
inspections,
local
planning,
to
prioritize
how
we
spend
our
jet
fuel
tax
money
and
we
spread
that
money
across
the
state.
F
F
We
have
a
tremendous
need:
we've
been
working
hard
to
rehab
our
airport
pavements,
on
which
we've
had
a
significant
backlog
of
maintenance,
and
our
recent
study
that
we
completed
in
december
shows
that
the
end
of
the
tunnel
is
in
sight.
But
we
have
to
continue
to
focus
funding
on
pavement
for
the
next
seven
years.
B
F
According
to
the
study,
if
we
spent
10
million
a
year
for
the
next
seven
years
on
pavement,
our
average
grade
for
our
airport
pavement
would
be
passing.
It
would
be
an
86,
basically
a
metal
b
if
we
spend
zero
dollars
in
that
same
period
of
time,
our
average
pavement
in
kentucky
will
be
failing
when
what
that
really
translates
to
is
that
translates
to
the
olive
hill
airport
in
carter
county?
You
know
that
just
the
pavement
got
too
bad.
It
was
too
expensive
to
rehab
and
several
years
ago
that
closed.
F
So
we
know
that
if
we
don't
continue
spending
money
on
pavement,
we're
going
to
end
up
losing
airports
the
in
the
near
future.
F
Again,
we
also
budget
a
million
dollars
a
year
to
help
with
a
local
match,
and
we
have
identified
another
20
million
dollars
in
need
throughout
the
state
for
people
who
don't
have
the
benefit
of
seeing
the
slide.
The
last
bullet
on
my
slide
says
our
projected
budget
for
21
is
adjusted
for
the
impact
of
covid
is
about
10
million
dollars.
F
So
that's
that's
my
presentation.
When
it
comes
to
federal
dollars,
the
department
of
aviation
does
not
directly
spend
the
money
and
we
do
not
directly
have
control
or
oversight
of
the
projects,
but
we
do
pay
play
a
role
with
our
federal
partners
in
ensuring
that
we
get
the
most
out
of
federal
funding.
F
I've
said
this
before
I
equate
our
airports
to
railway
stations
from
the
19th
century,
communities
that
had
railway
station
railway
stations
flourished
and
those
that
didn't
stagnated
or
died,
and
so,
as
we
move
forward
into
the
future,
our
airports
are
going
to
become
so
much
more
important,
and
so
with
that
said,
I
do
want
to
oh
I
I
guess
I
want
to
add
one
more
thing.
Vicki
made
me
think
of
this.
F
Our
airports
also
are
working
very
hard
and
very
creatively
to
keep
themselves
and
their
customers
safe
during
the
covet
environment
and
and
they
have
not
taken
the
foot
off
the
gas
on
making
their
airports
serve
their
communities
better.
So
we're
really
proud
of
our
airports.
F
So,
thank
you
again
for
your
time
and
allowing
us
to
make
do
our
part
to
make
our
airports
better
and
I'm
well
perfect.
Questions.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Do
we
have
any
members
present
that
have
a
question
or
remotely?
A
I
see
none
very
good.
I'm
we've
spoken
many
times
about
how
important
these
airports
are
across
the
state
and
really
you're
doing
an
outstanding
job
stretching
those
pennies
all
you
can
you're
going
to
have
to
keep
it
up.
I
know
you're
slowly,
making
headway.
We
greatly
appreciate
that.
A
C
Mr
chairman,
I
thought
I
was
going
to
mention
todd's
presentation,
especially
about
the
commercial
and
passenger
airports,
reminded
me
that
he
and
I
had
a
meeting
with
the
executive
directors
of
the
louisville
northern
kentucky
and
lexington
airports,
which
are
those
passenger,
major
passenger
and
commercial
airports
in
the
state,
and
just
I
think,
the
members
your
members
would
name
your
committee
members
would
would
want
to
know
what
they
shared
with
us
at
the
time
in
terms
of
their
current
condition
and
the
current
passenger
counts
at
lexington.
C
F
C
35
percent
for
this
northern
kentucky
and
and
louisville
right,
okay,
but
in
any
event,
they
those
numbers
translate
into
really
drastic
losses,
revenue
losses
and
that's
why
that
those
those
care
numbers,
even
though
they're
represented
in
aggregate
about
88
million,
that
represents
just
sufficient
funding
for
them
to
continue
for
about
one
year.
C
So
that's
that
illustrates
just
how
drastic
draconian
the
conditions
have
been,
and
you
know
at
this
point
in
time
everything
I've
been
reading
about
the
aviation
industry
is
saying
that
that
things
aren't
looking
aren't,
are
not
looking
really
strong
anytime
soon.
Regrettably,
so
it's
just
that's
for
what
it's
worth
commentary
there.
Mr
chairman,.
A
Thank
you,
mr
secretary.
I
guess
this
virtual
meetings
that
we
are
handling
our
business.
People
aren't
flying
where
they
need
to
go
so
they're
doing
it.
The
way
we
are
doing
it
now,
just
to
be
cautious
and
safe
for
our
members.
A
B
B
I'm
I'm
attending
remotely.
A
We
do
have
you
mark
present
with
a
big
star
anyway.
This
will
conclude
our
meeting.
We
will
take
a
request
for
an
adjournment
from
any
member.
We
have
a
fur,
we
have
a
second.
We
are
now
adjourned.
Thank.
