[6:16]
with you. And we'll go through a budget presentation with me to table today is our director
[6:21]
of Finance, Priscilla Diaz and our budget manager. I think most of you know, I know a
[6:23]
school. When the numbers really hard. I just look at these guys and they can get us
[6:29]
through on the number side of the house. So ready to go, Mr. Discuss. So commissioners this
[6:43]
this presentation slightly different maybe what we've done in the past because
[6:45]
there's a couple of really key issues that we need to talk about today. Agenda and table
[6:55]
of contents. We broke this up into 3 different pieces. The first piece is to come back to
[7:00]
the terminal 5 program to give you a little bit of background. An update where we
[7:06]
are with terminal 5 and the work we've been doing since we met with you last August at
[7:09]
the Budget workshop and the things that we still needed to complete in order to move
[7:14]
forward with the program. The second piece really where spent some time to talk about
[7:19]
the airline lease and use agreement and the Terminal building lease agreement,
[7:24]
their companion documents. This is the culmination of the negotiation with your lines or
[7:30]
bringing back to think we've landed really good spot in order to move the airport
[7:34]
forward and we'll go through the elements of the deal and then that leads into the Fy 27
[7:40]
aviation budget. We lined it up this way because terminal 5 in the additional costs for
[7:46]
Terminal 5. It's going to be actually part of the approved projects for the airline least
[7:51]
and use agreement that they support the increases in the cost. And then ultimately the
[7:56]
Fy 27 budget is geared off of the elements or the articles that are inside the agreement.
[8:04]
So we have to take it in that order in order for it to make sense with that, we'll just
[8:07]
jump right in. To terminal 5. Mr. Bring everybody back to that program structure for
[8:17]
Terminal 5. How it's put together. Broward County Department has general program
[8:22]
oversight. We retain the rights for the design, but we've contract, if you will,
[8:27]
in a sense with JetBlue to actually oversee the program, call the program developers,
[8:33]
if you will. They have the implementation responsibilities. We execute
[8:39]
that through the existing terminal building. Lease agreement. After that, JetBlue
[8:47]
contracts with 4 different entities doing the program management Gensler was the
[8:53]
design. Team Hunt Moss is the contractor and Keith will be providing the inspection
[8:59]
services. The fund's obviously come from the airport and they funnel through. JetBlue
[9:06]
handles the contracts and then JetBlue summits for reimbursement into into the
[9:09]
county. So in 2021, the Terminal 5 program definition document was completed,
[9:23]
defining the preferred concept layout the activity levels. Design considerations in the
[9:29]
preliminary cost estimate of 306 Million. 2023. The project budget increase to 404 million
[9:36]
increase was driven primarily by modifications. Construction definition utility
[9:42]
infrastructures. That was previously identified. Unforeseen circumstances are
[9:46]
signatory airlines agreed to cover the majority of the cost. what we refer to as a
[9:51]
majority interest foderingham I I vote as you may recall airlines under our existing
[9:57]
agreements, a voting rights on our Capital Project. Anything over $150,000. They get to
[10:02]
vote on because the debt service is covered through our rates and charges. We'll talk
[10:07]
about that. How that's going to change in the new agreement. 2024. At the 60% is
[10:13]
eye level and resulted in a project increased 654 Million. That increase again driven by
[10:18]
further program definition advancement of the design, global economic impacts,
[10:23]
including escalating cost materials and services. remainder of 2024. 2025 that
[10:29]
he 5 project team was actually engaged really reviewing design closely and all the
[10:35]
details to ensure alignment with the original program definition document as well as
[10:38]
relevant industry cost additional contingency funds were incorporated increasing.
[10:44]
The total estimated project cost of 699 million that we still based on the 60% design.
[10:49]
The signatory airlines again agreed to cover the cost to be and then my vote in June of
[10:56]
last year. That is what we brought to you in August. When we presented, we said this is
[11:00]
where we are right now. But we're still working through the design and our next steps
[11:04]
were to complete that he 5 to sign to 100%. JetBlue and Hunt Moss produce the final
[11:10]
guaranteed maximum price from what we've heard Tuesday FGM P for review and approval and
[11:15]
then assemble and submit conform design drawings for final permitting. Where are
[11:22]
100% design was completed by the designer on December 4th of this past year. Hamas began
[11:31]
pricing in betting with the traits and subcontractors and JetBlue received the proposed
[11:35]
final GMP on April 27th 2026. JetBlue and be cat commenced industry view of the
[11:44]
construction packed packages and pricing after extensive reviews and analysis. An inch
[11:49]
deep benchmarking JetBlue finalize negotiations with Hamas. And tonight which
[11:53]
resulted in an F G M P 702 million, 338,000 for construction and overall
[12:02]
program costs of 129 million dollars factors contributing to the overall cost increase.
[12:08]
Most are based on 100% design plans act rather natural bids. All right, Jamie, rather 60%
[12:14]
design levels continued industry costs, escalation inflation. Cost is based on
[12:20]
approval plans from the authority having jurisdiction hj working the building, Code
[12:24]
services and a revised construction schedule longer than the original planned
[12:30]
estimate. Back when we did this and the 2021 time frame and what does that look like?
[12:38]
Program costs in August of 2025. 6.99 August of 26, 8.29. Is the overall program costs
[12:46]
adding that is with the final guaranteed maximum price building square footage
[12:50]
increased by about 10,000 Square feet is design was was developed as 100% level. The
[12:57]
cost per square foot has risen, as you can see right here from 14, 45 to 15. 31.
[13:04]
Instead of the 6% design plans at that figure, we're working off 100% design plans right
[13:09]
now and the estimate, again, from 890 days to take to complete it is coming in with
[13:15]
the negotiations between JetBlue loss at 1277 days. The construction schedule
[13:22]
assumption notice proceed with the October of 2026 or as soon as have approval to be able to
[13:28]
move forward with a substantial completion of March 2030. You can see some
[13:33]
renderings what the facility looks like over on the right hand side. You've seen work
[13:37]
possibly going on out there at the airport. That was early work you've been doing a lot
[13:43]
of utility work and what not great as we are finally design for the building which stands
[13:51]
to the east of Terminal 4. Terminal 5 is connected to terminal 4 a connector, which
[13:57]
is a bi-level connector, contains both a secure as well as a non-secure side, if you
[14:03]
will. So the folks that come from the garages get over to terminal 4. We can have
[14:10]
passengers who cleared security at Terminal 4 terminal 5, be able to flow
[14:13]
back and forth just like they can between terminal 3 in Terminal 4 today. And another
[14:19]
program that you are aware. I think that's going on airport is what we call a Terminal
[14:22]
connector project, which will connect terminal one to 2 and 2 to 3 behind security. That's
[14:27]
a 279 million Dollar Project. We'll finish the first piece of that to connect 2, 3, next
[14:35]
summer. And then the following spring in 2028, will complete that he wanted to 2 and we
[14:40]
will have full security of all our terminals behind security, much like other airports go
[14:46]
forward. Just to give you an indication what's happening around an industry. put this
[14:54]
together. You've seen some of this admission for with the show. How costs escalate from
[14:58]
projects across the board. FL Terminal 5 is is up at the top. The 4 forward to the 29.
[15:08]
Miami. Hard at work on Concourse K initial project estimate 600 million that is
[15:14]
now looking like 746 Million. We anticipate that and it will also go further north as we go
[15:20]
forward. Concourse T 827 million looks like it's projected to be 1.1 billion.
[15:29]
And that's still in the procurement and design. Build phase. See what happens with
[15:31]
the costs there. Tampa Airside E 787 million up to 1.5 billion at this point time
[15:41]
zone or construction. Jacksonville, Concourse B 344 up to 440 units under
[15:48]
construction with anticipated completion 2027 couple other ports and projects meant to go
[15:52]
through every one of them. We want to highlight the ones that are in the orange there
[15:55]
they are. Florida airports. So just from a geographical perspective to to indicate
[16:01]
what cost are like in our region. Na is Nashville. I ad Washington Dulles and DFW at
[16:08]
the bottom there. Little miss late in bottom 1.6 billion was their first phase the
[16:17]
4 billion is a is a is all their faces, which actually is a doubling of the number of
[16:22]
cases in that project. Mark. Thanks quick question. Just. >> in 2023 with estimated
[16:30]
project cost of Fort Lauderdale, 404 Million. And then 2, 3, 2, years later, it
[16:35]
more than double. What was that because of expansion or because of price increases.
[16:43]
>> Escalation in inflation. As we came out of COVID particularly in South Florida,
[16:47]
we saw numbers that reported last year. But we are also working mayor with not 100%
[16:53]
design drawing. So as the time was refined and they were able to drill down further and then
[16:58]
ultimately it becomes a matter of the construction firm. At this point, joint venture
[17:07]
between Hamas sitting down with every single one of the subcontractor traits and
[17:12]
getting their bids and negotiating. The price is up for their bids. And there are
[17:18]
representatives from from JetBlue who is managing the project here with us today. We
[17:22]
have been present this to the airlines so that it wasn't this isn't the airport or the
[17:28]
county telling the airlines the price of the project going up. This is one of your
[17:31]
colleagues who is actually building is telling you that it's going up.
[17:35]
>> You may not know this, you know, travel quite a bit. A lot of the Fort Lauderdale and
[17:40]
I'm And and and I am most senior there's I mosaic for for JetBlue. So there such a
[17:43]
great airline like only want to talk good things about JetBlue. Just great, great,
[17:49]
great, great airline. >> The the issue that we wanted to bring up and it's
[18:02]
really can to the police and use agreement. Negotiations. Is that each one of the stages
[18:09]
where costs have increased our business partner. Airlines have continued to stay with us
[18:13]
and continue to vote to cover the cost of the of the terminal as we move forward.
[18:18]
None of us like the cost increases, but we definitely need to gates at our airport.
[18:21]
So we're anxious to get moving on this and get it done as quickly as possible. And
[18:29]
that's is. So how do you pay for the overall and cost increases? Commissioner? it's
[18:40]
a champion of trying push us to make sure that we got our deal done with our airlines,
[18:45]
the governing document, if you will, between the airport slash county and the airlines.
[18:51]
Are these 2 documents, the least use agreement as well as the Terminal building lease
[18:54]
agreement. The history of this. If you go back. Turn back the hands of time. Why do
[19:00]
we need these documents? Well, they're required by code Section 2.40, to Brown County
[19:06]
code requires that county commissioners authorize any commercial activities or
[19:09]
occupation of the airport or any portion thereof. Police and use agreement sometimes
[19:15]
referred to as incidents where agreement is executed their lines that meet certain
[19:19]
activity, thresholds and minimum space requirements, meaning you have fly. So many
[19:26]
flights receipts through our airport. But you also have to lease a certain amount of
[19:28]
space for us that helps us make sure that we need a revenue requirements. As for
[19:31]
going forward. Along with the Terminal building agreement that sets forth the lease
[19:38]
terms and conditions defines what the uses of the airport facilities are in the rights
[19:42]
of the parties. They become really the documents that we to establish these
[19:47]
relationships. The low as we sometimes refer to it typically establishes the
[19:53]
financial convinced to the airport. Specially has released the capital
[19:56]
development. It also establishes the methodologies for how we calculate airline
[20:01]
revenue requirements to drive your port rates and charges landing fees. Terminal
[20:04]
building rents and other use charges. The agreements that were currently in today were
[20:10]
originally approved by the Broward County Commission in 2011 for a period of 5 years.
[20:14]
Commencing October. 1st, when 11 but were amended in 2014 extending agreements for a
[20:21]
period of 10 years. And that was done before the expiration. The agreement,
[20:26]
which brings us up to September 30th of 2026. in preparation for that
[20:30]
expiration. We began working with your lines in 2023. We initiated discussions with the
[20:37]
signatories, also referred to as the Airline Airport affairs committee or AAA C We
[20:42]
established the framework negotiations on new agreements identify key objectives and
[20:47]
issues for both sides after extensive and collaborative efforts in Syria. It ramped up
[20:55]
considerably in 2024, the airlines hired a liaison office watch out for their
[21:02]
their interests. And we had dozens and dozens of meetings with various multiple
[21:04]
participate in a tease. At this time. The parties have concluded their negotiations.
[21:08]
We are pencils down and the feedback from this commission, the cat is prepared to Smith
[21:14]
Agreements for the Commission's review and approval with the commencement
[21:18]
date of October. 1st 2026. What's in the agreement? Here's the framework. 8
[21:25]
different signatory carriers, JetBlue Delta, Southwest United American Legion
[21:30]
Frontier and Air Canada. Pull together and hire an airline liaison office. Clearly we
[21:39]
couldn't negotiate with 8 different airlines who want a different things and try to
[21:43]
meet everybody's needs. We told him you're going to have one negotiating position on
[21:47]
our side. They needed to get together to figure out their negotiating positions. The
[21:53]
airlines on our side behind County Attorneys risk Management County ministration
[21:58]
fast E and a team of consultants County Attorney Myers. Your team is just
[22:06]
absolutely phenomenal behind us led by Israel for And Kelly rushed primarily, but many
[22:12]
attorneys were involved in different levels. Michael Owens, folks. Participating
[22:17]
from different parts of the county risk management was involved, finance, even
[22:23]
farmers group, along with our consulting group. Again, all trying to deliver what we
[22:29]
believe was the best agreement between ourselves and our airline business partners. The
[22:35]
key provisions of the new agreement. It's a seven-year deal it still is residual base
[22:46]
residual base, meaning that the airline still serve as our financial backstop. We operate
[22:49]
the airport on the revenues that we generate at the airport facility. Each year.
[22:54]
We coming for you in front of you and this will be no different where we published
[22:57]
our proposed rates and charges. If we have good year where we take in, let's say
[23:03]
more non airline revenue than we anticipate we're able to cover more. The expenditures
[23:07]
that way the following year. You're only rates and charges may go down. But if we have a
[23:13]
bad year and we have more expenditures are unforeseen conditions. The rates for the
[23:16]
airlines go up the next year your other terms and provisions can be really key,
[23:23]
though. Talk about here in a second. While we are operating in the same type of
[23:30]
environment, residual based agreement versus what's referred to as a compensatory
[23:33]
or even a hybrid model where the county or the airport we take on all the risk risk in
[23:37]
this case, particularly lies back with our signatory airlines. return for the
[23:45]
agreement for the 7 years, the airlines are willing to approve 3.2 billion dollars in
[23:50]
general airport revenue bond funding authorization for capital developments and
[23:55]
repair and replacement projects. That includes 2.7, 5 billion dollars for a master
[24:00]
plan will refer to as phase one. A. The board approved our master plan as well as the FAA
[24:07]
and FDOT back in 2021. That program is broken up into 3 major components. Phase one,
[24:13]
phase 2 and phase 3. Phase one has to sub components to it. Phase one, a. Which primarily
[24:21]
consists of the automated people mover system and the Intermodal Center to mega
[24:24]
projects 5, the Palm garage, demolition and redevelopment. A new roadway system that
[24:32]
comes through particularly around terminals 2, 3, 4, so we can get better flow through
[24:36]
our airport and a new central to utility plant. In addition to that 2.0, 7, 5 billion,
[24:42]
there's another 313 million for what we refer to as a state of good repair. Make
[24:47]
sure that all of the infrastructure, the airport is being properly maintained and
[24:50]
repair or replace this necessary. So elevators, escalators back county
[24:54]
systems, HVAC systems and like we want to make sure that the parts of the airport that are
[24:58]
not going to be you getting the attention that they that they deserve to make sure that
[25:04]
we are not in the news where it other reports. Sean, I mentioned right now might not
[25:11]
have working elevators or escalators of those types of things that the team doesn't
[25:14]
really, really good job. We had about 99th percentile on our up time on our systems are
[25:20]
proud of that. We want to make sure that we continue And to make sure that that's the
[25:25]
reputation that we carry as an airport. In addition to there's another 168.5 million
[25:33]
in the revenue bonsai. The House or phase One B phase One B is actually the next
[25:40]
terminal That's a term expansion of terminal 4 Concourse G to get started on
[25:45]
the early planning and design activities when combined with the other funding sources that
[25:50]
we have available to U.S. grants or tax PF seas. This supports it capital program.
[25:55]
Approximately 4.8 billion dollars. Seven-year term was chosen to closely match
[26:04]
anticipated to ration of the projects in phase one. A as for getting started on 08:00PM
[26:09]
IMC on those projects and getting them into design and construction. We're going to
[26:14]
be closely following right behind it with your early design activities for phase
[26:18]
one B, knowing that that is going to be something that is very important to our airline
[26:21]
partners. Phase One B, provide you the documents. We have a handout. That's exhibit A the.
[26:30]
Tillis and use that he bla. Phase One B right now, the terminal expansion. That's
[26:37]
another nearly 3 billion dollars for that. We're going to get started with the
[26:42]
planning design activities as soon as we can. And later, we'll probably couple years, 3
[26:48]
years down the road. Whether or not there's a successor agreement that's negotiated to
[26:51]
handle that at that point in time. In addition to approved. That's question. Yes, sir.
[26:58]
>> Just so on the on the master plan, phase One B. Is the only part that that's
[27:05]
committed to right now is the design. Not the not the. >> The deal is structured
[27:13]
commissioner that we're going to get started. For the 7 years. Will be. Really doing
[27:21]
everything we can at that cash flows at 5 or 600 million dollars per year. Cash burn on
[27:26]
The phase one B to do the terminal expansion. We have to fix the front part of the
[27:34]
House. First, but we didn't want to wait till the very end of phase one a to get started.
[27:36]
So we negotiated to get started with phase one. The design activities right away.
[27:42]
When you take that 168 million and you'll see it in a different chart. We combine
[27:47]
that with some other funding resources that we have. We have about a quarter that.
[27:52]
Let's get a closer quarter of a billion and roughly about 235 million to put towards the
[27:56]
early design activities for phase one B. >> Okay. But phase one, a is
[27:59]
includes all of construction of construction, correct, sir. In addition to the
[28:10]
preapproved, the funding authorization. We also needed to make sure that we addressed
[28:16]
the items within our our daily budget to start to develop better cash reserves for the
[28:23]
airport that will give us greater flexibility as we go forward. So there are 3 new
[28:29]
deposit accounts to build cash reserves and airport developments account. Be able
[28:33]
to address extraordinary unexpected items. 5 million dollars goes in for fiscal
[28:37]
year. 2027 and it grows to out of 10.6, 1 million for Fy 29 escalates 3%. We're CPI
[28:49]
thereafter. A cash reserve sub count starting in fiscal year, 2027, 2028, $0.50 per in plane
[28:59]
passenger will be deposited in a cash reserve account that continues to grow up through
[29:05]
Fy 31 to 33. To a $1.25. per plane passenger until 500 days. Cash on hand is realize
[29:14]
that's going to give us the financial backing that we need that at some point time if the
[29:18]
airport ever wanted to pursue a different type of governance methodology would have better
[29:23]
cash reserves to make that believed to be able to go in that direction. Yeah, I think
[29:28]
it's really critical. Important is the is the 3rd was a federal inspection
[29:31]
services. We call rate stabilization sub account. So when you fly in to an
[29:37]
international airport, there's a processing fee that most airports will charge ours.
[29:42]
You've seen it it to be in our budget. If left unchecked because the 2 new federal
[29:48]
inspection Aires at Fll one Terminal 4 want to terminal one costs. A lot of money when
[29:57]
traffic count, international traffic count decreases those costs go up and then you start
[30:04]
to work against yourself safe. Those costs are going up. How do I attract more business
[30:08]
coming in? We were able to actually create this EFI a stabilization account which
[30:14]
caps RFI U.S. rate at $12 with a 5% escalation per year insurance competitiveness with
[30:20]
other international airports. We take a look around in Tampa, Orlando and Miami. We
[30:26]
see rates of 8 or 10 or $12. We want to be competitive with them to try to get the
[30:30]
international traffic become to FL. >> When using your mic, sir,
[30:37]
thank you. Just noticed. I'm with everything I'm reading on federal government. The states
[30:47]
that I just. Question how reliable the partner they're going to be in the future. How
[30:54]
much of it looks like most of this money is generated locally from airport airlines
[30:59]
and stuff. How critical is continued state and federal funding. I mean, if it gets.
[31:08]
Cut in half or something, and we still we still have enough to finish what we're
[31:13]
contracting for. >> The answer is yes, senator, that that when we when you
[31:21]
take a look at our funding model going forward. The commission county, Mister in
[31:29]
the Oversight Board. You know, the surtax contribution to the 2 big projects is 380 million
[31:33]
dollars. And we'll show you that getting beyond that, the primary funding source is
[31:39]
start to fall back on passenger facility charges. When you fly, there is a user
[31:44]
fee. >> In your in your in your view to get a price that you
[31:47]
pay it's to the airport. It's $4.50 that comes back to us. And we use is passing
[31:53]
Priscilla charges for certain related projects. They have to be approved by the FAA. Then
[32:00]
you start to get into what comes your way during that the either from the FAA or from
[32:04]
the state. The state has been a great funding partner. And in this case here, Monica, I
[32:08]
met with Secretary Perdue and we continue to meet with the state so far. They've
[32:15]
earmarked approximately about 200 million words, the automated people mover system.
[32:20]
counting on those dollars to come our way in the future. The FAA, because the I J and
[32:28]
bipartisan infrastructure dollars most likely going to go away, although there's some
[32:33]
discussion to try to get extended the federal government level right now. We
[32:36]
won't be able to count on those. We'll have to rely on the existing, but the call
[32:43]
airport improvement program grants or pursue other opportunities where there
[32:49]
might be. And this is where the intermodal Base comes in for for those types of that
[32:54]
activities to be able to get grant dollars that way. You'll see that in our funding model.
[33:01]
And certainly will take every bit of grant funding. We can that we we don't have to use
[33:03]
bond funding for that. But it is our and our expectation that we'll be able to flow
[33:07]
down. The last the big one on this page that I think is really, really critical. I
[33:16]
mentioned earlier that in today's agreement, any capital project that cost greater than
[33:23]
$150,000. We need to ask the airlines for permission. We thought that that was
[33:27]
obviously incredibly way too low in today's day in age that we need to go shut event that
[33:31]
is now been increased from $150,000 to 15 Million. So a project that's under
[33:37]
15 million that we really need to do. Will enable us to do that without airline approval.
[33:44]
Obviously, we want to take a look at if we do those types of projects and we float more
[33:49]
debt. Ultimately what's going to have impact on the cost overall cost for employment.
[33:54]
Why we're trying to also do these other big projects at the same time. The other key
[34:02]
provisions of the agreement modifications to the least preferential gates check-in
[34:06]
counters office space. In today's world. There is no annual reset of the
[34:16]
preferential gates with what mean by preferential Gates or 8 signatory Kerry so long as
[34:19]
they can demonstrate. That they're going provide the service that we need in terms
[34:24]
of the flight activity. As well as the the space requirements of fleecing to
[34:30]
make sure that we have space. It's least. In today's world. Once they meet that formula,
[34:38]
if they drop down, it's incredibly difficult to recapture that from them. In
[34:41]
today's world. A gate I could recapture from them. In other words, you you said you're at
[34:47]
this activity. But as time went on your activity, top to drop to drop, I could try to
[34:53]
claw back that gate from an airline. The other space that's required in order to
[34:59]
operate a flight. counters office space will not was never included and those
[35:06]
provisions. So for the airport to actually get that space back from an airline we could
[35:08]
give to another online was incredibly difficult, if not possible. The other thing is,
[35:15]
as we talk about preferential gates and that the airlines are signature lines like to
[35:20]
say when we say preferential. You have this gate, that's your preference released gate.
[35:26]
You get first crack of how that gate is going to be utilized throughout the day.
[35:32]
If you say you're going to put 6 flights on that date, you're gonna put 7 flights on okay
[35:36]
get the 5 flights on. Okay. You submit the schedule to us. Once you Smith is scheduled
[35:42]
us, we look at how that game being utilized. If there's holes in between there we use,
[35:46]
the airport are entitled to use that Kate. And that's how we generally operate. But
[35:50]
there's never been a reset, be able to say. You know, right now you have 10 preferential
[35:56]
gates. But we go through the formal year after year after year. As long as you've met
[36:01]
that baseline minimum. I would never be able to claw back any of those Gates. Meanwhile,
[36:07]
another airline may have grown significantly and was deserving of more gates with
[36:12]
the formula. Never allowed us to get that. So, for example, and I know my friends from
[36:17]
JetBlue are in the audience here. JetBlue and in today's environment has 14
[36:22]
preferential gates at one point when Spirit was operating, spirit had and
[36:27]
preferential gates. But because of their flight activity. They should have
[36:32]
been afforded 20 Referential Gates. But there wasn't that many gates to be able to
[36:38]
afford them. We couldn't take them back. The new agreement every single year. We will go
[36:43]
through a reset to see who's flying, who's not flying in order to keep the airport
[36:50]
imbalance going forward. And it's not just the gates. It's everything that goes along
[36:53]
with it. We have 66 gates. 56 of those gates will be allocated for preferential
[37:03]
use. And in the first deal and then we read, we retain 10 common use gates in order to
[37:10]
handle all the other line. So we have 25 airlines in total. Of those airlines are
[37:17]
signatory 17 or non signatory. We will use those 10 gates operate all the flights for
[37:24]
those other 17 airlines you to go through. It's going to give us greater utilization and
[37:31]
versus the static. The upright Terry signage on the back walls right now. Most of the
[37:38]
airlines have what we call hard static signage. When we switch counters around, we
[37:45]
move airlines around. It becomes very difficult to get rid of that proprietary
[37:49]
signage. So we've negotiated that we're going to change that going forward. The minute
[37:52]
we get any area back will be changing and that with dynamic signage that we can move
[37:57]
airlines around a whole lot easier. You're seeing this at airports more more more at the
[37:59]
back while we're not talking about. You know, a 42 inch monitor. We're talking about
[38:05]
something that actually is wall size. That is in dynamic electronic digital format so
[38:10]
that we can actually change whoever's operating at that gate. actually branded very
[38:16]
going forward. last Mr. >> been signed already points. >> Now it will become the
[38:26]
airlines are all in agreement. This would be coming so long as the commission is a willing
[38:33]
to endorse it. It's coming to the board on September 10th. >> But there are an
[38:38]
improvement, but everything's are all in agreement >> and then lastly, enhanced
[38:45]
airport airline communication coordination. This establishes a program and point Haitian
[38:50]
mansion process for information sharing and collaboration. Me. We're going
[38:52]
to sit down with them on a regular basis and talk about our projects and operational
[38:56]
issues much like what was raised earlier today, mayor, whether lining queue
[39:01]
management, a ticket lobby or it's how their parking airplanes
[39:08]
>> the Triple-A seen the county to use best efforts to meet no less than quarterly to
[39:10]
discuss. Key matters. And then the county, Maryland representatives used
[39:16]
reasonable efforts to meet monthly to discuss and resolve issues related to facility
[39:20]
utilization technology and design standards. You know, going forward. This is all
[39:23]
baked in the new agreement. >> After hearing from my board members, I'm only a talk
[39:28]
positive about the greater London JetBlue. For the answer. All right. For that.
[39:41]
>> close out the least news agreement, the new Airline Airport use lease agreement
[39:45]
and terminal building. These agreements provide for financially strong,
[39:49]
operationally flexible in airline supported framework that enables the county to
[39:51]
continue the transformation. Modernization and expansion of FL one of the county's key
[39:58]
economic engines and to begin implementation on the next phases of the airport's
[40:02]
development, especially the critical landside improvement projects. We've all talked
[40:06]
about how difficult can be to get in and out of our airport facility. Roadways are too
[40:08]
small. None of parking many times and we're still moving people around our airport on
[40:16]
shuttle buses when the other 3 large airports in the state of Florida are using automated
[40:20]
people, technology. They've been using it for decades and decades. Because we spent so
[40:24]
much time, so much effort to try to make sure that the front door is fixed. So that
[40:31]
you can grow on the back side to get additional concourses in Gates. We wanted to say
[40:37]
that same time the new agreements acknowledge and recognize the value business
[40:40]
partnerships with our airline can and their respective needs, including terminal and
[40:44]
gate. Developing for future growth. So well, they would love to have. Not 66 gates,
[40:49]
but 76 Gates are 86 gates until such time as you can get traffic in and out of the
[40:54]
front. Trying to add more gates to huge scale, I believe would would cause and the
[41:03]
severe detriment of health folks would come and go from our airport facility. We do
[41:06]
want to thank our airport Airline Affairs committee a member lines for engagement
[41:13]
participation throughout this lengthy and into a process that has been long and he's
[41:17]
even as recently as just a day or 2 ago, we were still speaking language to make sure
[41:24]
that we had all the I's dotted and T's crossed and some some issues every time an issue
[41:27]
would come up. Again. A different airlines are running it through their corporate
[41:33]
councils and we get an issue that comes back and says I'm going to change because you
[41:37]
want it, but it might impact your Operation, Commissioner Davis or might impact
[41:41]
commissioner Fishers operation and try to get it all worked out again. Very, very process,
[41:49]
lengthy process. But we landed, I believe, in a really good spot for for both parties
[41:51]
involved here. Any other questions on the lease and use agreement? We do these 2
[41:59]
parts. First, the terminal 5 again because 5 is going to be part of the preapproved bond
[42:07]
financing to cover the cost for that. It's baked into the lease and use agreement as
[42:10]
part of the 2.7 5 billion. But because of those accounts that are set up, there's deposit
[42:17]
accounts and reserve accounts that are in any agreement. They have to be part of the
[42:24]
operating budget, which why wouldn't the operating budget for last? So the key budget
[42:30]
highlights. Airline activity fiscal year 2026. Total past employment are forecasted to
[42:39]
15.9 million, which is 4.9% less in the Fy 26 budget. But remember our largest airline
[42:49]
went bankrupt and out of business at 30% market share, even though we had start to
[42:53]
see a little bit of ramp-up prior to May. 2nd. From a second til July 9th when
[42:59]
JetBlue really started to ramp up that was over 2 months worth of service. So to hit
[43:05]
that mark at 4.9%, I think it's pretty good given what we've gone through. There was
[43:12]
a comment, I think Commissioner Dean, you made earlier when we take a look at
[43:15]
our traffic. It's not in this report here. The ramp up that in the backfield that we've
[43:21]
received thus far fight a look at the seat count, the number of seats that fly through this
[43:25]
airport in December of 2025. vs December program for December of 2026, we're
[43:32]
actually up 2 and a half percent in December of 2026. That's with the demise of
[43:36]
Spirit Airlines in the backfield coming back in. And we believe that's going
[43:39]
continue to grow. To the point again, Gates and competition for Gates becomes very, very
[43:46]
dynamic and very stuff. The fy 27 claimants are projected to be 16.5, 1 million or 1.3.
[43:56]
Below the Fy 26 budget implements. But above where we think we're going end fiscal
[44:02]
year. 26 by almost 4%. On the financial performance. Identify 27 total operating
[44:09]
revenue. Budget is expected to decrease by 4.3%. Compared to fy. 26. The Fy 20 Seven's
[44:17]
operating expense is expected to increase by approximately 5.5% compared to fy 26 and
[44:21]
will go through some of the notable increases decreases, if you will. The net revenue
[44:29]
budgeted to forecast budget to decrease. Excuse me by 34 0.9% compared to fy 26 budget in
[44:36]
decreased by 14.3% compared to the fy. 26 forecast. There's a simple affair. That again goes
[44:43]
back to that F I S stabilization rate. We created this stabilization count. It's
[44:51]
funded with approximately 55 million dollars. And of that, 55 million dollars will
[44:56]
use the first 19.2 million subsidize the revenue requirement from the airlines,
[45:02]
which is going to keep our on CP rates and charges pretty pretty flat. But it's also
[45:08]
going to keep that if I asked charge to travel internationally into our
[45:12]
facility capped at $12. Ultimately that is suppressing its artificially suppressing
[45:18]
the revenue requirement that otherwise would have to be charged. The airlines airlines
[45:24]
were applauding this effort. Again, we have many of our airlines do not fly
[45:28]
internationally. So the notion of funding or artificially subsidizing for those that are
[45:34]
coming in on the international side wasn't always well received, but ultimately the
[45:38]
way our our budgets work, it would have had to come back to everybody across the board. We
[45:43]
came up with this innovative way are. CFO who's no longer here with us. He's moved on. I
[45:52]
was highly instrumental this working the liaison Officer, Jason Watkins, and of course,
[45:57]
Priscilla new. picked it up and ran with as well on. So our cost for employment rates
[46:03]
and charges. The CP is budgeted to $10.60, which is $0.42 less in last year's
[46:09]
budget or this year's budget. I should say. CP is supported by 19.2 million dollars of
[46:14]
finest. A position right? And our fy 27 landing fee will also decrease by 7.8 percent
[46:20]
down. Dollars and $0.38 from where its current level at $2 and 50 $0.8.
[46:32]
>> Can understand what the decrease? These increases? How do they How do they affect the
[46:37]
overall budget? Decreasing? Landing fees? So the airlines have to pay Airlines like this
[46:49]
charging. We'll go down. But this to charging high airfares.
[46:57]
>> The if the airlines are charge has nothing to do with their fares. The airlines are
[47:02]
charged according to what it costs for us to actually operate the airfield where the
[47:05]
terminal. We have cost centers that are broken out for each one of us.
[47:10]
>> OK, so it go based on. You can control these prices is what you're saying.
[47:20]
>> We can't control them to a certain degree. When we get further into the presentation,
[47:22]
commissioner, you'll see how we look at both non airline revenue and airline revenue
[47:27]
essentially the way our models work is you take all of our expenditures are in very
[47:32]
simplistic terms. Take all of our expenditures and apply the non airline revenue that we
[47:36]
get and sessions our key advertising are rentals and apply that to our
[47:44]
expenditures. Whatever is left over on those expenditures becomes what we call the
[47:48]
airline revenue requirement. What they have to pay us. 43% in our budget. That 43% then
[47:56]
is now divided into its cost centers. How much is on the airfield? How much is
[48:02]
interminable damages on the land side? How much is space that we have to take care of?
[48:07]
How much is common? You space? needs to be taken care. There's a very elaborate we'll
[48:12]
call rate making methodology. That is part of our agreement. It's one of the exhibits
[48:17]
that's how we've negotiated with the airlines that what they pay.
[48:21]
>> But this is not a fact. Could this not affect the pricing? Because always heard
[48:26]
that. For example, in Miami-Dade, the landing fees are higher. And so a lot of
[48:32]
times affairs. Be affected because they say we pay more landing fees. So
[48:41]
if going down. You know, move the airline, you take that their prices would So to go
[48:49]
up. >> I think what's driving the airline prices bill up.
[48:53]
>> You'll uncertainty, labor labor was a huge, huge increase going forward. The
[49:02]
shiny moment and that commissioners. >> Quarter after quarter after
[49:05]
quarter. Between. >> You know, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the
[49:12]
Bureau of Transportation Statistics and surveys that are Donald across the country.
[49:16]
Fll comes out as either the number one for the number 2 lowest cost airport in the
[49:21]
nation for average one-way fares. There's actually a chart here that I'll show you
[49:24]
where we are recognized called out by being the lowest in the in the nation right now. $261.
[49:34]
Average one-way fare lower than 50 49 other airports in the nation. Thank you. And
[49:38]
that's attributed to us trying to keep our cost is no. And CEO Garrity for JetBlue made
[49:45]
mention of this in one of her her interviews when she gave about JetBlue trying to create
[49:50]
the Latin American Caribbean gateway Hub. I think she caught at Broward counties are
[49:54]
Broward County is wise to keep their costs as low as we can at the airport because it does
[49:57]
help attract business coming into our airport. These are just the the projections
[50:08]
again, for the passenger trends, all the on the right. The blue is domestic. The
[50:13]
Orange is international. You can see that we're still in recovery mode for some of the
[50:19]
international forecasting 2.8 million on the employment for international. If you look
[50:26]
years back in 2020 for 2023, we're up into 3.7 million. That is a direct function of
[50:31]
all the international service that JetBlue our team Spirit was providing. Now we're going
[50:37]
to see with JetBlue providing ultimately the bulk of the service with a Latin American
[50:42]
Caribbean gateway. Hopefully the numbers and that aren't are going to continue to
[50:45]
decrease increase. And we're also seeing some of our other carriers indicate that they
[50:50]
also are looking to fly internationally here in the future as well. More
[50:53]
passengers that fly internationally through our facility. Snead, there will be
[50:58]
for that EFI. A stabilization those costs will pay for themselves to the head count.
[51:01]
That's actually coming through the facility. The Fy 26 protective and claimants the
[51:08]
crease with spirits ceasing operations. But then that was anticipated. Backfield. 27 and
[51:14]
claimants are projected to be 16.5, 1. Or again, 1.3% below fy. 26 budget. But above where
[51:20]
we're going to end Fy. 26 on September 30th of this year. So we came down, but we're
[51:25]
coming back up. Where we rank ACI rankings just came out recently for the year 2025.
[51:36]
20th in total passenger traffic in the nation. 21st in domestic traffic 14th in
[51:40]
international passenger traffic. On the right-hand side where markets for county
[51:51]
year 2025. On the domestic and the international side. The narrative on the left, the way
[51:56]
we read, this isn't the year to date calendar 2026. What's in Orange is the 2025 Paris
[52:01]
and so. 2026 Fll had an average of 262. Daily domestic departures versus 251 last
[52:13]
year, 211 cities versus 101 last year, meaning our domestic
[52:17]
operation. He's doing better in 2026. And it was in 2025. Inversely on the international
[52:25]
side in 2026. 65. Versus 68. Average daily international departures to 48 versus 51
[52:34]
destinations to 22 countries. So we're running a little bit lower on international than we
[52:38]
were last year. But again, hopefully with the work that JetBlue and others are doing.
[52:43]
We as well as additional air Service development activities. I will see an
[52:47]
increase on the international side as well. What's the current airline market share?
[52:52]
So on the right hand side, it's current fiscal year, October, first through June,
[52:59]
30 thing you see spirit in there. That was the aggregate at one point time Spirit had
[53:06]
31%. market share. This was the nine-month look for the fiscal year. But if you want
[53:14]
goes out of business, if you take a look at June only for Fy, 26, you can see the
[53:18]
JetBlue. Has jumped up to 33.9% and some of the other airlines have also increased.
[53:28]
You can see Southwest even went from 9.3 to 10.8%. Delta went from 12.8 to 15.3%.
[53:35]
Allegiant mayor's favorite airline right now. I went from 4.4% to 7%. So you can see
[53:43]
that it was absorbed by more than just one airline across the board. But in fact, it the
[53:50]
July 26 numbers came out after submitted this presentation just came out last couple of
[53:56]
days. JetBlue for July only it was 37.8%. I believe Noel. You. So it's even greater than
[54:06]
the 33.0. 5 1%. >> Would you mind using your Mike? Thank you. You're
[54:21]
talking about this where they were. When you do the annual reset. So now you have a lot
[54:24]
of changes here. But but all those lot of those things, more recent yet right there.
[54:31]
Not reset yet. So so gate counters, all those things. No reset on October. 1st. So for
[54:37]
example, on the preferentially skates. JetBlue has 14 preferentially skates today
[54:44]
right on October. First, JetBlue will have 21. So and so like maybe a he'll be like
[54:49]
a legion. I will have. This is double the amount of as Jynneos Legion goes from
[54:57]
Forty-niners coming up, right 2 to 3. Preferential Gates. American goods. More counters
[55:05]
coming American because they want more counters, >> Just show they will work
[55:14]
because it's the least they need more countered by does it still have the 2 employees
[55:18]
sitting there just push through? Mr. Davis, this was commentary that was talking
[55:31]
about. >> it just picked this article of America's most Affordable
[55:32]
Major Airport. Is this convenient. Southeast gem surrounded by a comic
[55:36]
destinations. Airfare in the United States climbed by more than 25% between June of 2025.
[55:40]
26 per the Bureau of Labor Statistics impacted by jet fuel cost simply churches. But
[55:45]
not all airports are feeling the squeeze of 2026. Report from local insiders dot com.
[55:48]
Digital traffic on travel platform. Highlights the most and least 4 double major ports
[55:54]
in the U.S. and the numbers show. That where you fly can significantly impact your
[55:59]
wallet. Earning the title of the countries cheap. This. I want to say more affordable.
[56:04]
major air hub is Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International with an average
[56:09]
fare 261.0. 69 and a location convenient to several of the Sunshine State's iconic
[56:17]
attractions. So it is something that we see repeatedly over and over
[56:20]
again. And that is largely due to the number of lower fare carriers that we fallen
[56:25]
through. We get into the financial performance again. Airline revenues. 2 green
[56:37]
columns from the Fy 26 budget to the fy 27 creeks, the airline revenues. 185 million
[56:44]
in this fiscal year. Their budget at 176 Million. And in the Fy 27 budget. Again, a lot
[56:54]
of these are a result. You'll see kuz that airline revenue requirement goes down. That is
[56:58]
because of the stabilization funds that we've injected in. Rental cars 83.8 million down
[57:05]
to 79.6 million. That's just a function of what we're seeing in the marketplace and a
[57:10]
number of passengers that are traveling through here. Same thing with parking. We've seen
[57:14]
some behavioral changes on the parking side. It was 69 million budget. Looks like
[57:20]
we're going to come in 63 million at the end of this year. And then 65 million is
[57:25]
our projection for the budget for next year. We see more folks taking things like
[57:30]
rideshares to and from the airport. We think that has an impact on concession revenues.
[57:37]
These are things that are watching. Looks like we're going to come in 49.7 million
[57:43]
for this year. Again, some of that is a function of spirit. sensation of service where
[57:52]
Terminal 4 in particular became a bit of a ghost town for 2 months. But we're seeing
[57:55]
the activity pick back up. Terminals wanted to wear HMS host and Hudson or operator
[58:01]
actually seen quite healthy numbers over in terminal one terminal try to balance it
[58:03]
out. >> On the Uber and Lyft to do we get any airport fee for
[58:12]
each pick-up. >> We get per pickup that comes through. If you recall
[58:16]
when when Uber Lyft first started. Before it was mandated by the state at in
[58:23]
terms of the charges we were charging $4 and $0.50 for pickup and $3 for taxi cabs
[58:31]
and the state came in and overrode us and said you can't charge you can't you can't
[58:36]
charge rideshare airport. You can charge rideshare more for that. Pick up. Feed the new
[58:39]
charge. A taxi cab. So we had a lower the rate for Uber and Lyft from $4.50 to $3 to match
[58:46]
the taxi cab. We took a 33% cut that was back in 20. I believe. We're seeing certain
[58:57]
days, particularly during cruise traffic where we'll see. 12, 13 as many as 15,000
[59:03]
person left come through the airport in a single day. Between terminal the pickup
[59:11]
areas that you Palm Garage and terminal 3 for pick up term of 3, 4, We see as many as 400
[59:17]
who burst coming through in an hour. One every every 5 seconds. I mean, through. And
[59:23]
when you add the other ones and you can see 7 or 800 Wright shares coming through
[59:26]
and now. The parking garages are not empty, but we we do see a little bit of softness
[59:32]
in that area. So we're looking at really closely. And again, some of this is just
[59:37]
demographics about what people are are. Other getting to and from the airport speak and
[59:42]
start parking comparable to Miami and Palm Beach. In terms of his cost. Charges charges
[59:47]
were less time. We could raise the fee. We raised the fee a few years ago. We went from
[59:57]
$15 to $20 in the parking garage and are valet. Went from 25 to 30 and in the short
[1:00:03]
term, we kept it the same. $36 per day. But we we changed how it ramps up as you in the
[1:00:09]
before we raised it. You can stay in that short term for after day before you hit the
[1:00:16]
top, the rate. But because we wanted to see the turnover in their quicker to make space is
[1:00:22]
available, we can press that he actually hit that operate. Pastor, it's $2 every 20
[1:00:26]
minutes when you go through there. But we still people that come in park in short
[1:00:30]
term. Not just for a day, but for many things in a row. But the revenue numbers, again, we
[1:00:36]
see different. Metrics on what's the duration of state versus how many transactions
[1:00:43]
we get. It is something that we continue to watch. But rideshare for sure has changed
[1:00:48]
quite a bit of of folks coming. >> As it relates to the state
[1:00:59]
legislatures and their mandate as to what we can charge. When do we evaluate and back into
[1:01:07]
advocacy moved those funding. When do we do that? They don't know what we're failing. Not
[1:01:10]
that they care. But I think responsibility. >> I think that the it's
[1:01:16]
great. It's great question. Commissioner. One of the when that when that change was
[1:01:22]
first enacted, where was, you know, you had a choice. You could raise. The fee on the
[1:01:29]
taxicabs from 3 to $4.50 or lower or try to somewhere in between the decision at that
[1:01:35]
point in time was not to raise the fee on the taxi cabs. There are still quite a happy,
[1:01:41]
healthy next, a cab environment there still is build it. But we see. 85% of
[1:01:47]
the pickups at the airport. Commercial pickups at the airport. A rideshare and about
[1:01:54]
while the 15% tax right now. Play around. And we're happy to look at the scene where
[1:02:00]
where that fee should be. don't think that the state is going change anything other
[1:02:07]
than you can't charge more or less if you charge $5 charge $5 or $3 $3. There have been
[1:02:15]
efforts we believe at at the state level, some of the rideshare companies to attempt
[1:02:20]
to cap that at certain point. you can't charge let's say more than $2, which would be
[1:02:28]
devastating. And it is something about your Patrick's on the rumor or Casey, but
[1:02:32]
that that's something that we need to pay close attention to with our lobbyist
[1:02:35]
>> we as we. Look at. Miami, real ways. Compare ourselves to Miami or Palm Beach or
[1:02:47]
whatever. Do week pay. >> The fees parking fees. So when we raised the rates 2
[1:02:56]
years ago, 3 years ago now, 2 years ago, >> you know, we did it in such
[1:03:03]
a way that we tried to become comparable. if we can do to increase the revenue but not
[1:03:07]
be the highest priced. So we actually still do ride either right at or just below Tampa,
[1:03:15]
Orlando or Miami. We actually have a chart on that commissioner. Be happy to
[1:03:19]
provide to you. We updated frequently to see where the charges are. And we are. But
[1:03:26]
we are not just competitive, but much like the airfares. I think we are the lowest across
[1:03:30]
the board. >> One final question as it relates to our search, their
[1:03:36]
tax. >> I know we first started that was not included in. The
[1:03:43]
vote that I cast. It was not a choice. What was not listed on there was for the airport. Get
[1:03:53]
any pleaded it administratively and where are correct in doing so because we
[1:03:58]
see the improvements that were made just because of that. This the commission. This
[1:04:07]
budget, do you see that contribution public tax? >> So the surtax fundings is
[1:04:13]
in the capital side of the House. It's 177 on one side in 203. I think 2.15. No totaling
[1:04:24]
approximately 380 Million. So. Those mega projects that we've mentioned, the the automated
[1:04:32]
people mover system and Intermodal Center. Approximately 1.4 billion
[1:04:40]
dollars apiece. So those surtax funds go to those different projects along with
[1:04:42]
the other funding sources by and those projects are still going to be paid for by
[1:04:47]
general airport revenue bonds and the debt service is going to run through our region
[1:04:50]
charges and your lines, pick them up. I just like Experience. It's definitely
[1:04:57]
ever grateful. This is like to hear it. Sometimes like Oliver twist. Things have please,
[1:05:04]
sir, may have some more. Here is a deal tribute. >> Even if we airport, use in
[1:05:11]
our tax dollars. It's taxes. Bres. >> Our business partner
[1:05:19]
airlines would love it if we obviously any funding sources that that can offset those
[1:05:21]
costs that are not being charged to revenue bonds and the debt service being flowed
[1:05:25]
through the model which they ultimately have to guarantee and pick up is where we would
[1:05:31]
like to resign. So whether the state con. >> Oracle by administrative,
[1:05:36]
we get into credit for that in the budget. >> Yes, ma'am. give you all
[1:05:41]
the credit for >> And if I can make one clarifying statement. So just
[1:05:49]
for the public, that might not this one understand we're talking about public dollars
[1:05:56]
were talking about sales tax dollars, not property tax dollars. Just to clarify
[1:05:59]
regressive. >> The footnotes of the bottom of this page again during the
[1:06:11]
pandemic weather was cares or or Sarah say or All of those funds are now expended. There
[1:06:20]
are no more injections of federal dollars to help offset our operating budget. Just a
[1:06:29]
quick look at the revenue diversity, you know, where the revenues come from on the
[1:06:32]
right hand side is the fy 27 budget of 409.4 million. 43 1% of that. Is airline revenues.
[1:06:41]
57% of it is non airlines to rental cars, parking concessions and others that
[1:06:44]
contribute to it. again, that know about the 19.2 million helping to stabilize on your
[1:06:52]
line. Revenue side of the House. Operating expenses >> the fy 27. But you can see.
[1:07:04]
The variances on the right-hand side from a budget to budget year. Where we see
[1:07:08]
increases, let's say and contractual services. That's a janitorial shuttle bus
[1:07:12]
services through the great work I think of are chief operating officer Rusten on a
[1:07:17]
maker and his team to try to make sure we keep those costs trying to seek operational
[1:07:21]
efficiencies. But other creases that we go down software. It's a big number on
[1:07:28]
55 0, 3%, increase. These are some numbers that are just out of our control. That's what
[1:07:34]
costs for its offer, support and licensing. Law enforcement increasing from the 56 million
[1:07:41]
in. The Fy 26 budget to 16 and the Fy 27 budget. Utilities actually goes down a little
[1:07:50]
bit. Insurance goes down and we have a slide that talks about some of these notable
[1:07:57]
increases and decreases on the on the next page. So the notable increase in salary and
[1:08:07]
benefits based on anticipated salary adjustments and increases the group insurance
[1:08:10]
costs went up by 4.4 million janitorial. 2.6 million increase based contract
[1:08:16]
pricing and potential increase on RFP for terminals CCO seize our airport operations control
[1:08:22]
center policies for the acronym. MILLION dollars equipment, maintenance.
[1:08:30]
Because previously covered under other contractual services that were absorbing.
[1:08:33]
Now they're no longer covered on those contractual services. And then 5.5 million legacy
[1:08:39]
security systems upgrade or bringing some of our legacy security systems in House and
[1:08:45]
doing it with our own folks. In order to retain regained, excuse me, greater control and
[1:08:51]
reliability rather than having it by third-party contraction services that were not always.
[1:08:56]
The reliability wasn't where we needed today. Decreases 2.7 million insurance decrease.
[1:09:05]
Reflecting normalization after Hurricane Ian. 1.1 million, as I said, electric utility when
[1:09:13]
down based county estimates and $832,000. Due to operational efficiencies. To
[1:09:21]
the key rates and charges. You go across our and claimants again, 16.5 million on the
[1:09:29]
employment. Lanning fee is $2 and $0.38 for says $2.58. Are tied to space inside the
[1:09:42]
building, which is the the the tax base that we used to price everything out for airlines
[1:09:47]
$2. $215.72 the love from its 202. The F a S t. Currently at $14. And today's budget. But
[1:10:01]
we're capping that at $12. Again. It's a $2 decrease. Try to make sure that we remain
[1:10:06]
competitive in the international arena to attract more international carriers.
[1:10:10]
So our aggregate cost per plane passenger was budgeted at 11. 0, 2, in this fiscal
[1:10:14]
year. Budget. Our forecast with with everything applied in here, looks like we're
[1:10:22]
going to come in a $10.13. But then for the budget. It's $10.60 for the Fy 27 budget.
[1:10:31]
So the column in the Middle. want to confuse you. But the pin where it says an adjusted,
[1:10:37]
that's what our rates would have been. If we didn't apply the EFI a stabilization on
[1:10:43]
sand there. So you can see that RFI us fee. would have jumped from $14 to $21. Are
[1:10:49]
higher. >> These numbers based on because of the signatory
[1:10:57]
contractors, a part of everything is based all of our deposits to our counts that
[1:11:02]
are talked in there that become a commitment and obligation and how we fund all
[1:11:05]
of our region charges. That's all Big here. Okay. So those that $0.50 per plane passenger
[1:11:12]
or the deposits to the to development reserves, the 5 million dollars. All of that
[1:11:19]
becomes part of then we go. We take all of the obligations commitments and we run it all
[1:11:24]
back through the rate model to get the suspect writes, how much to the measures in figure
[1:11:31]
And they do that. Would you be doing that once a year? Yes, we do. We reset every single
[1:11:35]
years. I said if we we set are non airline revenue, those fees that I or the revenues
[1:11:40]
they just went through, concessions, parking, whatnot. We project how much we think
[1:11:45]
we're going to do. And if it comes in higher, then these rates you would see would go
[1:11:49]
down the following year. It does right. >> Up and down depending upon
[1:11:56]
how how conditions are. >> Marc, earlier, you had said that we were at to 61. The
[1:12:05]
close to. it's true. We were the lowest in your with you said in the region of the
[1:12:10]
country, it's in the country. U.S. domestic. It's not an international.
[1:12:17]
>> And in senator, those those statistics and the surveys in this case, this taken from the
[1:12:25]
Bureau of Labor Statistics. So when they published new data, we watch depend upon, you
[1:12:30]
know, who's doing the surveys? If it's an external survey, those numbers fluctuate a
[1:12:35]
little bit. But this one was from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
[1:12:41]
>> Mike. Solar energy. I mean, just looking at improvements. And what are your plans for
[1:12:49]
that? Because we're looking at. We do to lies the services Currently. Can you separate
[1:12:56]
here? Your fire from your line for? >> We can do that,
[1:13:05]
commissioner. Yes, we have that separated out. It's not in the presentation that we
[1:13:09]
will make sure that you you have data for you. So you can see what the increases are.
[1:13:16]
With respect to the first question on the environmental and particularly with the
[1:13:19]
solar. That is something that we're always looking at. How do we, you develop efficient
[1:13:25]
facilities so terminal 5, for example, LEED certification. When we look at the Intermodal
[1:13:32]
Center and whether or not you seen some locations, whether there could be solar panels
[1:13:39]
are raised that might be able to positioned on top of that facility going forward. The
[1:13:42]
rest of the campuses is tight and wouldn't allow necessarily for solar Ray. It's something
[1:13:49]
that we have looked at. So we're looking at other opportunities that we might be
[1:13:52]
able to enhance savings increase or are environmental responsibility in that regard.
[1:14:01]
>> Are you using a wheelchair that are automated? I sit in and it takes.
[1:14:04]
>> Not. Yeah. they are. >> In use at other airports but there and you said they're
[1:14:13]
procured and use in most places by companies that provide the services directly
[1:14:17]
to the airlines and they invest in I actually had somebody that told me they
[1:14:20]
used one I actually saw them in service a pin Detroit. I didn't write myself, but I did
[1:14:30]
see it in action. >> Just curious as to when we're going to get there. I
[1:14:41]
don't like them because they're taking away jobs. Well, that's my reason for
[1:14:44]
that. Supporting I want this. >> It wouldn't be something commissioner that we would be
[1:14:51]
investing in ourselves just yet that there's there's approximately 55 different
[1:14:56]
companies. What we call airline service providers that provide the services to the
[1:15:00]
airlines. And that is the services provided to their line by one of several
[1:15:03]
companies. They may choose to invest it, but we haven't had any conversations with anybody
[1:15:07]
just yet about putting them into Fla. close it out the capital budget, 152 million
[1:15:17]
for the fy. 27. How much of it actually hits or airline rate base and 79 Million.
[1:15:24]
64 million in bonds. 14.6 million and what we call cash that's actually flows through
[1:15:30]
our rate model and then on rate contributions to the capital program. Pastor
[1:15:37]
facility charges PFC Ys F DOT FAA and then also getting some FEMA money for damage is that
[1:15:44]
we incurred different points in time, whether due to the flooding in 2023. or some
[1:15:51]
other issues. We're looking to get those monies into the capital program here. Yes, the
[1:16:04]
last bond issuance at the airport. was in 2019. So we are gearing up to actually
[1:16:11]
once the board hopefully approves the agreements with the airlines. We're working
[1:16:16]
with the finance Division 2 to their back by. red by airport revenues. So it is external to
[1:16:25]
the county. fully backed by the credit of the airport. That's why the airlines are
[1:16:28]
our financial backstop and they covered the debt service to the rates and charges.
[1:16:35]
>> As opposed as opposed to the other model, we move you. >> The other model, if we took
[1:16:41]
on all the risk, it would be if you had if you had really downturn. So, for example,
[1:16:49]
back in fiscal 2020. During the pandemic. When everything dropped out, even with federal
[1:16:56]
funds coming in, we still needed to go back to the airlines and get additional
[1:17:03]
monies for them in order to make sure that we maintain debt. Service coverage isn't
[1:17:05]
paid bills and several airlines had to check had to write checks to us in the
[1:17:10]
millions of became our financial banks. Are they working parts of the point?
[1:17:14]
>> Which is why you're recommending this for September 10th. To try to
[1:17:18]
bring it on. Yeah. Sorry. That's just the breakdown of how it's
[1:17:29]
>> You can see that private the majority of everything that we're going to be doing
[1:17:31]
going for the future. But not all of it is in the land side. That is the intermodal that
[1:17:36]
PM. That is roadway construction. That's where you can see the next 5 years
[1:17:40]
fixing the front side of the airport. You know, most centers, you know, gets
[1:17:45]
another 7,000 provided of 7,000 parking spaces for the airport. Last couple slides
[1:17:52]
here. The capital program, 5 years just breaks out by fiscal year with the
[1:17:57]
expenditures are most notable. I think in here you can see in Fy 29 and fy 30 see big
[1:18:03]
numbers. That's where the expenditures on the land side, 611 Million. 1.1 billion, 710
[1:18:11]
million. That is us investing in the front door of the airport getting this big mega
[1:18:14]
projects done. North Perry on the airfield. Fy 27 28. landside. And we're still
[1:18:23]
working on the perimeter pathway around the airport going forward. That's broken
[1:18:30]
down in a couple different phases commission. We can give you an update on that
[1:18:33]
Perimeter Pathway Project as well. This is just the laundry list of of all the different
[1:18:42]
projects that are in the Fy 27 Capital Improvement Project. One for you with any of And
[1:18:48]
then we have what we refer to as renewal or replacement projects vehicles, computer
[1:18:52]
hardware, common use equipment were not all that totals up 152 Million. that's that.
[1:19:00]
Question, sir. >> On the APM, which is the top thinking that you have on
[1:19:07]
2027 cip. We've been talking about both the 08:00PM and the airport Seaport connector for
[1:19:18]
a long time. Can you just give us very, very quick update on that teach? You know, I've
[1:19:24]
I've had some questions, not about the 08:00PM, but the airport Seaport Convention
[1:19:30]
Center connector because of my questions to whether or not we will. Ever in any of our
[1:19:39]
lifetimes reach an agreement with the FTC and my understanding we don't
[1:19:45]
actually need to an agreement or we do. I know we need the aerial rights. Do we need
[1:19:51]
anything else from FTC to make the airport Seaport Convention Center connector work.
[1:20:01]
>> I'll defer to the county, mister on the airport Seaport Command Center connector. The
[1:20:04]
2 projects that the airport is lead on for the animal Center and the automated people mover
[1:20:09]
system. And we remain in ongoing discussions. County, Kelleher, myself is me. Met
[1:20:15]
with FTC as recently as a couple weeks ago. So those dialogue continue about use,
[1:20:22]
aerial them for 35 for first agreement. were very optimistic. We do. We'll get
[1:20:29]
something and they are necessary for the 08:00PM and its configuration to be able
[1:20:34]
to service center. That's why we're at the table with them working through those issues
[1:20:38]
with them. So the >> the not the 08:00PM, but the right most center is
[1:20:49]
dependent Reaching agreement with the FTC. it's going to say because just give up the
[1:21:03]
Intermodal Center. >> No, you gone that. I'm going. I does the Intermodal
[1:21:04]
Center sits on FDOT property? So we have we have ongoing discussions with FDOT
[1:21:10]
regarding the lease for that property that doesn't touch the FTC right of way, but to
[1:21:17]
be able to get to the Intermodal Center via the Apm Guideway we cross over the FTC
[1:21:24]
right away at about 60 or 65 feet in the air in order to feed into the animal center.
[1:21:28]
When we did the environmental ce or the projects, the Intermodal Center as well as
[1:21:33]
the 08:00PM. And and the discussion about the airports, the Port connector. You're all
[1:21:40]
viewed is as having independent utility, meaning any one of them could operate
[1:21:43]
on its own. And so the Intermodal Center could operate on zone. It would just
[1:21:48]
require surface transit to be able to get back and forth to it. At that point time it
[1:21:50]
buses. >> So to switch gears, thank you, mark, on your question
[1:21:56]
related to the connector. So none of there's no need for FCC U.S. all county property
[1:22:02]
for the connector. And we're already in the peony phase for that project. And that is
[1:22:11]
under the Transportation Department. That is the lead for that project we're looking
[1:22:16]
around. I think 2032 for completion. So the question. >> While I have serious
[1:22:22]
questions will ever be able to get. Use of their tracks just to get over their tracks. You
[1:22:31]
know, since I know we don't have the state of west Florida west of where Henry plants
[1:22:37]
tracks where we know the state of east Florida, everything east of FTC and the 3rd state
[1:22:44]
between. If you see and CSX, I know there's a way of are getting over their tracks. We
[1:22:47]
may not get access to their tracks, but there have to be a waste of getting over them.
[1:22:53]
And I know if we have to go admitted to being we can. >> And for that project is as
[1:22:59]
Mark was sent sharing, I think it's really about the connection between the
[1:23:03]
automated people mover at going across over to the IMC. Once you get over to the IMC
[1:23:09]
at that point, that's where we would use to connect to the light rail system to connect 3
[1:23:16]
economic engines. So and that's on county property. Mr. Goh, thank you as well.
[1:23:27]
>> Thank you, Commissioner Center America shows just won't be as a close eye here.
[1:23:29]
Just again. I wanted to recognize JetBlue representation, Martin mayors
[1:23:35]
state representative that the to almost every single day JetBlue and and Cody also with
[1:23:45]
JetBlue is with us here again, we've we've concluded our negotiation with your lines.
[1:23:48]
They they are in agreement with this county attorney's office has scrutinized it. Any
[1:23:56]
administration. I think we're ready to go we'd like to be able to bring back the first
[1:24:00]
of the signed agreements, if you will, on September 10th. What was done in 2011 is even
[1:24:06]
though all airlines are in agreement with this, some of them take a little bit longer
[1:24:10]
to get through their corporate processees 2011 emotions were here. Are the airlines that
[1:24:16]
are ready to sign. But these other signatory airlines that still have to go through their
[1:24:22]
their boards might not be up to get through to October November was a motion that
[1:24:26]
said we're going to treat branches signatory status to the end of the year. And while
[1:24:30]
you go through your your corporate process, if by the end of the year, you haven't
[1:24:36]
signed you revert back to non signatory and you also pass everything back at at a non
[1:24:42]
signatory rates. So that's what we anticipate bringing forward.
[1:24:48]
>> Mr. Merabet a little confused. I know Chip who is here based on your earlier
[1:24:52]
remarks, which did you like better chip who are legion was unclear. And there. You know

[1:25:10]
business anyway. Before goes out, Mister Mayor always ask about Perry Airport. And no,
[1:25:18]
it's not me to outline much here. Are there no plans to expand their? To expand the
[1:25:27]
airport? Well, tenants. >> Other than the developments that you have out there right
[1:25:34]
now. >> That have been in process for for years. There's no
[1:25:41]
significant developments. commissioner. >> The runway, I mean, enhance
[1:25:46]
months from safety and lighting. You know, the conversations that we've had.
[1:25:52]
to take space and actually do more construction on the airport. There's nothing in
[1:25:54]
the media for chicken feet are right now. Occasionally you'll see him will coordinate with
[1:25:59]
your office when we issue what we call request for a letter of interest. If we have an
[1:26:04]
area that we think is good for development to see with the interested parties are. But we
[1:26:07]
haven't had any of those recent. >> Nothing. Nothing recently.
[1:26:13]
Okay. Good. end of innocence will be pleased about that. And then I know we have
[1:26:16]
underway the studies. And we're looking forward to those results. That we can least get
[1:26:21]
back to them. what goes into it. >> Of the safety assessment
[1:26:27]
and the let's stay that study are on their way now. think and this probably
[1:26:30]
>> If a a coordinating with them on any movements. The tower. Is that moving
[1:26:42]
>> We continue to have the It's an FAA and tower. We are on their list. But the FAA
[1:26:45]
tower there is is significantly down. But we continue to try to get a time
[1:26:48]
frame for when they might be willing to replace that control tower. We continue to
[1:26:53]
work with various branches of the FAA to get them to give us data on all the inspections
[1:26:58]
that are taking place. And why can we not help? I raise this issue with really high level
[1:27:05]
senior member of the FAA just a couple of weeks ago and said we want to be help. We're not
[1:27:09]
trying to take a job want help. And then I think there was issues about the path
[1:27:14]
piece that the lights they were repaired and then the rest of the papi's are all
[1:27:19]
going to be replaced as part of the airfield lighting project. I think by the end of
[1:27:22]
this year. Mike, thanks. So all the puppies on the airport actually get replaced by and
[1:27:26]
this year. >> Thank you. Before we close. Council, it would make sure.
[1:27:33]
So we have a consensus we need is that we have have a consensus on this. It's you're
[1:27:36]
saying well, I mean, you're going actually vote. And next meeting. Yeah. Okay. Temper
[1:27:47]
tentatively county back to for they were going to know if there's any concerns that have
[1:27:52]
it now? No, I think I think everybody's raised their comments trying but I got it.
[1:27:58]
Okay. last but Senator Wright underage Yeah, I've spoken with administration about this
[1:28:07]
and we at our last workshop. We discussed the family trial court administrator program.
[1:28:15]
If you remember, the chief judge was here and 2 other judges and judge team in
[1:28:17]
Bristol. and judge out pristine. and the court administrator Joe D'Amico and
[1:28:26]
we had a general consensus of it and then we went to the meeting and the meeting was
[1:28:33]
cut short. regular commission meeting and we did not have a chance to. Finalize it. So I
[1:28:40]
have asked the administration, you know, how do we now handle this? So it was I was advised.
[1:28:45]
I should really just kind of bring this up today because of the fact that we did have a
[1:28:49]
consensus. But and they have the money there. But need an approval so to speak. I
[1:28:57]
thought we ready move ahead, says Thank you, But we but I was advised that they need to
[1:29:02]
hear it right. So thank you, Senator, and for bringing us up today in the budget
[1:29:05]
context, it was a budget discussion. >> It was something that
[1:29:09]
originally Senator Rich had brought to the board after the initial priorities were set.
[1:29:16]
But she brought a separate agenda item to you all. It was a discussion item only with no
[1:29:21]
vote. And that is why I had asked her to bring it a word against to get the consensus
[1:29:26]
from the board from a budget workshop perspective. And it was perfect because today was
[1:29:30]
a budget workshop. >> Well, it budget hearing for that. We all had a consensus
[1:29:34]
on that. >> It never made it to discussion on the budget But
[1:29:43]
if you guys have consensus today, we'll move forward and that there's sufficient
[1:29:46]
reserves for the onetime program. Again. And then we can re-evaluated after
[1:29:50]
November. Don't come >> I believe we all really talked about this. We did. I
[1:30:01]
just need. >> It's the family court program and and the program.
[1:30:02]
What I'm trying to determine good to be decided to when we did it the first year, it
[1:30:08]
caught us all surprised. But we support it. Reaction to to begin this That's correct.
[1:30:20]
This and are we act being axed to increase the funding to the program? What are we being
[1:30:25]
axed? I don't recall fully. What was the final decision? Are we increasing? Are just
[1:30:32]
doing what we did the previous year? What is the requests? >> You want to do to Everett.
[1:30:40]
I'm happy do what your item if you'd like it. It is to continue this program. They
[1:30:43]
have implemented it. I have a whole list here of 209 families that have been
[1:30:50]
referred to family Court services for services and 9 intially would be the same.
[1:30:58]
The same would be the same to do it again on a one-time basis pending the outcome in
[1:31:03]
November to see if there would be in consensus consensus, consensus consensus market
