? ? >> Always a pleasure to be
with you. And we'll go through a budget presentation with me to table today is our director
of Finance, Priscilla Diaz and our budget manager. I think most of you know, I know a
school. When the numbers really hard. I just look at these guys and they can get us
through on the number side of the house. So ready to go, Mr. Discuss. So commissioners this
this presentation slightly different maybe what we've done in the past because
there's a couple of really key issues that we need to talk about today. Agenda and table
of contents. We broke this up into 3 different pieces. The first piece is to come back to
the terminal 5 program to give you a little bit of background. An update where we
are with terminal 5 and the work we've been doing since we met with you last August at
the Budget workshop and the things that we still needed to complete in order to move
forward with the program. The second piece really where spent some time to talk about
the airline lease and use agreement and the Terminal building lease agreement,
their companion documents. This is the culmination of the negotiation with your lines or
bringing back to think we've landed really good spot in order to move the airport
forward and we'll go through the elements of the deal and then that leads into the Fy 27
aviation budget. We lined it up this way because terminal 5 in the additional costs for
Terminal 5. It's going to be actually part of the approved projects for the airline least
and use agreement that they support the increases in the cost. And then ultimately the
Fy 27 budget is geared off of the elements or the articles that are inside the agreement.
So we have to take it in that order in order for it to make sense with that, we'll just
jump right in. To terminal 5. Mr. Bring everybody back to that program structure for
Terminal 5. How it's put together. Broward County Department has general program
oversight. We retain the rights for the design, but we've contract, if you will,
in a sense with JetBlue to actually oversee the program, call the program developers,
if you will. They have the implementation responsibilities. We execute
that through the existing terminal building. Lease agreement. After that, JetBlue
contracts with 4 different entities doing the program management Gensler was the
design. Team Hunt Moss is the contractor and Keith will be providing the inspection
services. The fund's obviously come from the airport and they funnel through. JetBlue
handles the contracts and then JetBlue summits for reimbursement into into the
county. So in 2021, the Terminal 5 program definition document was completed,
defining the preferred concept layout the activity levels. Design considerations in the
preliminary cost estimate of 306 Million. 2023. The project budget increase to 404 million
increase was driven primarily by modifications. Construction definition utility
infrastructures. That was previously identified. Unforeseen circumstances are
signatory airlines agreed to cover the majority of the cost. what we refer to as a
majority interest foderingham I I vote as you may recall airlines under our existing
agreements, a voting rights on our Capital Project. Anything over $150,000. They get to
vote on because the debt service is covered through our rates and charges. We'll talk
about that. How that's going to change in the new agreement. 2024. At the 60% is
eye level and resulted in a project increased 654 Million. That increase again driven by
further program definition advancement of the design, global economic impacts,
including escalating cost materials and services. remainder of 2024. 2025 that
he 5 project team was actually engaged really reviewing design closely and all the
details to ensure alignment with the original program definition document as well as
relevant industry cost additional contingency funds were incorporated increasing.
The total estimated project cost of 699 million that we still based on the 60% design.
The signatory airlines again agreed to cover the cost to be and then my vote in June of
last year. That is what we brought to you in August. When we presented, we said this is
where we are right now. But we're still working through the design and our next steps
were to complete that he 5 to sign to 100%. JetBlue and Hunt Moss produce the final
guaranteed maximum price from what we've heard Tuesday FGM P for review and approval and
then assemble and submit conform design drawings for final permitting. Where are
100% design was completed by the designer on December 4th of this past year. Hamas began
pricing in betting with the traits and subcontractors and JetBlue received the proposed
final GMP on April 27th 2026. JetBlue and be cat commenced industry view of the
construction packed packages and pricing after extensive reviews and analysis. An inch
deep benchmarking JetBlue finalize negotiations with Hamas. And tonight which
resulted in an F G M P 702 million, 338,000 for construction and overall
program costs of 129 million dollars factors contributing to the overall cost increase.
Most are based on 100% design plans act rather natural bids. All right, Jamie, rather 60%
design levels continued industry costs, escalation inflation. Cost is based on
approval plans from the authority having jurisdiction hj working the building, Code
services and a revised construction schedule longer than the original planned
estimate. Back when we did this and the 2021 time frame and what does that look like?
Program costs in August of 2025. 6.99 August of 26, 8.29. Is the overall program costs
adding that is with the final guaranteed maximum price building square footage
increased by about 10,000 Square feet is design was was developed as 100% level. The
cost per square foot has risen, as you can see right here from 14, 45 to 15. 31.
Instead of the 6% design plans at that figure, we're working off 100% design plans right
now and the estimate, again, from 890 days to take to complete it is coming in with
the negotiations between JetBlue loss at 1277 days. The construction schedule
assumption notice proceed with the October of 2026 or as soon as have approval to be able to
move forward with a substantial completion of March 2030. You can see some
renderings what the facility looks like over on the right hand side. You've seen work
possibly going on out there at the airport. That was early work you've been doing a lot
of utility work and what not great as we are finally design for the building which stands
to the east of Terminal 4. Terminal 5 is connected to terminal 4 a connector, which
is a bi-level connector, contains both a secure as well as a non-secure side, if you
will. So the folks that come from the garages get over to terminal 4. We can have
passengers who cleared security at Terminal 4 terminal 5, be able to flow
back and forth just like they can between terminal 3 in Terminal 4 today. And another
program that you are aware. I think that's going on airport is what we call a Terminal
connector project, which will connect terminal one to 2 and 2 to 3 behind security. That's
a 279 million Dollar Project. We'll finish the first piece of that to connect 2, 3, next
summer. And then the following spring in 2028, will complete that he wanted to 2 and we
will have full security of all our terminals behind security, much like other airports go
forward. Just to give you an indication what's happening around an industry. put this
together. You've seen some of this admission for with the show. How costs escalate from
projects across the board. FL Terminal 5 is is up at the top. The 4 forward to the 29.
Miami. Hard at work on Concourse K initial project estimate 600 million that is
now looking like 746 Million. We anticipate that and it will also go further north as we go
forward. Concourse T 827 million looks like it's projected to be 1.1 billion.
And that's still in the procurement and design. Build phase. See what happens with
the costs there. Tampa Airside E 787 million up to 1.5 billion at this point time
zone or construction. Jacksonville, Concourse B 344 up to 440 units under
construction with anticipated completion 2027 couple other ports and projects meant to go
through every one of them. We want to highlight the ones that are in the orange there
they are. Florida airports. So just from a geographical perspective to to indicate
what cost are like in our region. Na is Nashville. I ad Washington Dulles and DFW at
the bottom there. Little miss late in bottom 1.6 billion was their first phase the
4 billion is a is a is all their faces, which actually is a doubling of the number of
cases in that project. Mark. Thanks quick question. Just. >> in 2023 with estimated
project cost of Fort Lauderdale, 404 Million. And then 2, 3, 2, years later, it
more than double. What was that because of expansion or because of price increases.
>> Escalation in inflation. As we came out of COVID particularly in South Florida,
we saw numbers that reported last year. But we are also working mayor with not 100%
design drawing. So as the time was refined and they were able to drill down further and then
ultimately it becomes a matter of the construction firm. At this point, joint venture
between Hamas sitting down with every single one of the subcontractor traits and
getting their bids and negotiating. The price is up for their bids. And there are
representatives from from JetBlue who is managing the project here with us today. We
have been present this to the airlines so that it wasn't this isn't the airport or the
county telling the airlines the price of the project going up. This is one of your
colleagues who is actually building is telling you that it's going up.
>> You may not know this, you know, travel quite a bit. A lot of the Fort Lauderdale and
I'm And and and I am most senior there's I mosaic for for JetBlue. So there such a
great airline like only want to talk good things about JetBlue. Just great, great,
great, great airline. >> The the issue that we wanted to bring up and it's
really can to the police and use agreement. Negotiations. Is that each one of the stages
where costs have increased our business partner. Airlines have continued to stay with us
and continue to vote to cover the cost of the of the terminal as we move forward.
None of us like the cost increases, but we definitely need to gates at our airport.
So we're anxious to get moving on this and get it done as quickly as possible. And
that's is. So how do you pay for the overall and cost increases? Commissioner? it's
a champion of trying push us to make sure that we got our deal done with our airlines,
the governing document, if you will, between the airport slash county and the airlines.
Are these 2 documents, the least use agreement as well as the Terminal building lease
agreement. The history of this. If you go back. Turn back the hands of time. Why do
we need these documents? Well, they're required by code Section 2.40, to Brown County
code requires that county commissioners authorize any commercial activities or
occupation of the airport or any portion thereof. Police and use agreement sometimes
referred to as incidents where agreement is executed their lines that meet certain
activity, thresholds and minimum space requirements, meaning you have fly. So many
flights receipts through our airport. But you also have to lease a certain amount of
space for us that helps us make sure that we need a revenue requirements. As for
going forward. Along with the Terminal building agreement that sets forth the lease
terms and conditions defines what the uses of the airport facilities are in the rights
of the parties. They become really the documents that we to establish these
relationships. The low as we sometimes refer to it typically establishes the
financial convinced to the airport. Specially has released the capital
development. It also establishes the methodologies for how we calculate airline
revenue requirements to drive your port rates and charges landing fees. Terminal
building rents and other use charges. The agreements that were currently in today were
originally approved by the Broward County Commission in 2011 for a period of 5 years.
Commencing October. 1st, when 11 but were amended in 2014 extending agreements for a
period of 10 years. And that was done before the expiration. The agreement,
which brings us up to September 30th of 2026. in preparation for that
expiration. We began working with your lines in 2023. We initiated discussions with the
signatories, also referred to as the Airline Airport affairs committee or AAA C We
established the framework negotiations on new agreements identify key objectives and
issues for both sides after extensive and collaborative efforts in Syria. It ramped up
considerably in 2024, the airlines hired a liaison office watch out for their
their interests. And we had dozens and dozens of meetings with various multiple
participate in a tease. At this time. The parties have concluded their negotiations.
We are pencils down and the feedback from this commission, the cat is prepared to Smith
Agreements for the Commission's review and approval with the commencement
date of October. 1st 2026. What's in the agreement? Here's the framework. 8
different signatory carriers, JetBlue Delta, Southwest United American Legion
Frontier and Air Canada. Pull together and hire an airline liaison office. Clearly we
couldn't negotiate with 8 different airlines who want a different things and try to
meet everybody's needs. We told him you're going to have one negotiating position on
our side. They needed to get together to figure out their negotiating positions. The
airlines on our side behind County Attorneys risk Management County ministration
fast E and a team of consultants County Attorney Myers. Your team is just
absolutely phenomenal behind us led by Israel for And Kelly rushed primarily, but many
attorneys were involved in different levels. Michael Owens, folks. Participating
from different parts of the county risk management was involved, finance, even
farmers group, along with our consulting group. Again, all trying to deliver what we
believe was the best agreement between ourselves and our airline business partners. The
key provisions of the new agreement. It's a seven-year deal it still is residual base
residual base, meaning that the airline still serve as our financial backstop. We operate
the airport on the revenues that we generate at the airport facility. Each year.
We coming for you in front of you and this will be no different where we published
our proposed rates and charges. If we have good year where we take in, let's say
more non airline revenue than we anticipate we're able to cover more. The expenditures
that way the following year. You're only rates and charges may go down. But if we have a
bad year and we have more expenditures are unforeseen conditions. The rates for the
airlines go up the next year your other terms and provisions can be really key,
though. Talk about here in a second. While we are operating in the same type of
environment, residual based agreement versus what's referred to as a compensatory
or even a hybrid model where the county or the airport we take on all the risk risk in
this case, particularly lies back with our signatory airlines. return for the
agreement for the 7 years, the airlines are willing to approve 3.2 billion dollars in
general airport revenue bond funding authorization for capital developments and
repair and replacement projects. That includes 2.7, 5 billion dollars for a master
plan will refer to as phase one. A. The board approved our master plan as well as the FAA
and FDOT back in 2021. That program is broken up into 3 major components. Phase one,
phase 2 and phase 3. Phase one has to sub components to it. Phase one, a. Which primarily
consists of the automated people mover system and the Intermodal Center to mega
projects 5, the Palm garage, demolition and redevelopment. A new roadway system that
comes through particularly around terminals 2, 3, 4, so we can get better flow through
our airport and a new central to utility plant. In addition to that 2.0, 7, 5 billion,
there's another 313 million for what we refer to as a state of good repair. Make
sure that all of the infrastructure, the airport is being properly maintained and
repair or replace this necessary. So elevators, escalators back county
systems, HVAC systems and like we want to make sure that the parts of the airport that are
not going to be you getting the attention that they that they deserve to make sure that
we are not in the news where it other reports. Sean, I mentioned right now might not
have working elevators or escalators of those types of things that the team doesn't
really, really good job. We had about 99th percentile on our up time on our systems are
proud of that. We want to make sure that we continue And to make sure that that's the
reputation that we carry as an airport. In addition to there's another 168.5 million
in the revenue bonsai. The House or phase One B phase One B is actually the next
terminal That's a term expansion of terminal 4 Concourse G to get started on
the early planning and design activities when combined with the other funding sources that
we have available to U.S. grants or tax PF seas. This supports it capital program.
Approximately 4.8 billion dollars. Seven-year term was chosen to closely match
anticipated to ration of the projects in phase one. A as for getting started on 08:00PM
IMC on those projects and getting them into design and construction. We're going to
be closely following right behind it with your early design activities for phase
one B, knowing that that is going to be something that is very important to our airline
partners. Phase One B, provide you the documents. We have a handout. That's exhibit A the.
Tillis and use that he bla. Phase One B right now, the terminal expansion. That's
another nearly 3 billion dollars for that. We're going to get started with the
planning design activities as soon as we can. And later, we'll probably couple years, 3
years down the road. Whether or not there's a successor agreement that's negotiated to
handle that at that point in time. In addition to approved. That's question. Yes, sir.
>> Just so on the on the master plan, phase One B. Is the only part that that's
committed to right now is the design. Not the not the. >> The deal is structured
commissioner that we're going to get started. For the 7 years. Will be. Really doing
everything we can at that cash flows at 5 or 600 million dollars per year. Cash burn on
The phase one B to do the terminal expansion. We have to fix the front part of the
House. First, but we didn't want to wait till the very end of phase one a to get started.
So we negotiated to get started with phase one. The design activities right away.
When you take that 168 million and you'll see it in a different chart. We combine
that with some other funding resources that we have. We have about a quarter that.
Let's get a closer quarter of a billion and roughly about 235 million to put towards the
early design activities for phase one B. >> Okay. But phase one, a is
includes all of construction of construction, correct, sir. In addition to the
preapproved, the funding authorization. We also needed to make sure that we addressed
the items within our our daily budget to start to develop better cash reserves for the
airport that will give us greater flexibility as we go forward. So there are 3 new
deposit accounts to build cash reserves and airport developments account. Be able
to address extraordinary unexpected items. 5 million dollars goes in for fiscal
year. 2027 and it grows to out of 10.6, 1 million for Fy 29 escalates 3%. We're CPI
thereafter. A cash reserve sub count starting in fiscal year, 2027, 2028, $0.50 per in plane
passenger will be deposited in a cash reserve account that continues to grow up through
Fy 31 to 33. To a $1.25. per plane passenger until 500 days. Cash on hand is realize
that's going to give us the financial backing that we need that at some point time if the
airport ever wanted to pursue a different type of governance methodology would have better
cash reserves to make that believed to be able to go in that direction. Yeah, I think
it's really critical. Important is the is the 3rd was a federal inspection
services. We call rate stabilization sub account. So when you fly in to an
international airport, there's a processing fee that most airports will charge ours.
You've seen it it to be in our budget. If left unchecked because the 2 new federal
inspection Aires at Fll one Terminal 4 want to terminal one costs. A lot of money when
traffic count, international traffic count decreases those costs go up and then you start
to work against yourself safe. Those costs are going up. How do I attract more business
coming in? We were able to actually create this EFI a stabilization account which
caps RFI U.S. rate at $12 with a 5% escalation per year insurance competitiveness with
other international airports. We take a look around in Tampa, Orlando and Miami. We
see rates of 8 or 10 or $12. We want to be competitive with them to try to get the
international traffic become to FL. >> When using your mic, sir,
thank you. Just noticed. I'm with everything I'm reading on federal government. The states
that I just. Question how reliable the partner they're going to be in the future. How
much of it looks like most of this money is generated locally from airport airlines
and stuff. How critical is continued state and federal funding. I mean, if it gets.
Cut in half or something, and we still we still have enough to finish what we're
contracting for. >> The answer is yes, senator, that that when we when you
take a look at our funding model going forward. The commission county, Mister in
the Oversight Board. You know, the surtax contribution to the 2 big projects is 380 million
dollars. And we'll show you that getting beyond that, the primary funding source is
start to fall back on passenger facility charges. When you fly, there is a user
fee. >> In your in your in your view to get a price that you
pay it's to the airport. It's $4.50 that comes back to us. And we use is passing
Priscilla charges for certain related projects. They have to be approved by the FAA. Then
you start to get into what comes your way during that the either from the FAA or from
the state. The state has been a great funding partner. And in this case here, Monica, I
met with Secretary Perdue and we continue to meet with the state so far. They've
earmarked approximately about 200 million words, the automated people mover system.
counting on those dollars to come our way in the future. The FAA, because the I J and
bipartisan infrastructure dollars most likely going to go away, although there's some
discussion to try to get extended the federal government level right now. We
won't be able to count on those. We'll have to rely on the existing, but the call
airport improvement program grants or pursue other opportunities where there
might be. And this is where the intermodal Base comes in for for those types of that
activities to be able to get grant dollars that way. You'll see that in our funding model.
And certainly will take every bit of grant funding. We can that we we don't have to use
bond funding for that. But it is our and our expectation that we'll be able to flow
down. The last the big one on this page that I think is really, really critical. I
mentioned earlier that in today's agreement, any capital project that cost greater than
$150,000. We need to ask the airlines for permission. We thought that that was
obviously incredibly way too low in today's day in age that we need to go shut event that
is now been increased from $150,000 to 15 Million. So a project that's under
15 million that we really need to do. Will enable us to do that without airline approval.
Obviously, we want to take a look at if we do those types of projects and we float more
debt. Ultimately what's going to have impact on the cost overall cost for employment.
Why we're trying to also do these other big projects at the same time. The other key
provisions of the agreement modifications to the least preferential gates check-in
counters office space. In today's world. There is no annual reset of the
preferential gates with what mean by preferential Gates or 8 signatory Kerry so long as
they can demonstrate. That they're going provide the service that we need in terms
of the flight activity. As well as the the space requirements of fleecing to
make sure that we have space. It's least. In today's world. Once they meet that formula,
if they drop down, it's incredibly difficult to recapture that from them. In
today's world. A gate I could recapture from them. In other words, you you said you're at
this activity. But as time went on your activity, top to drop to drop, I could try to
claw back that gate from an airline. The other space that's required in order to
operate a flight. counters office space will not was never included and those
provisions. So for the airport to actually get that space back from an airline we could
give to another online was incredibly difficult, if not possible. The other thing is,
as we talk about preferential gates and that the airlines are signature lines like to
say when we say preferential. You have this gate, that's your preference released gate.
You get first crack of how that gate is going to be utilized throughout the day.
If you say you're going to put 6 flights on that date, you're gonna put 7 flights on okay
get the 5 flights on. Okay. You submit the schedule to us. Once you Smith is scheduled
us, we look at how that game being utilized. If there's holes in between there we use,
the airport are entitled to use that Kate. And that's how we generally operate. But
there's never been a reset, be able to say. You know, right now you have 10 preferential
gates. But we go through the formal year after year after year. As long as you've met
that baseline minimum. I would never be able to claw back any of those Gates. Meanwhile,
another airline may have grown significantly and was deserving of more gates with
the formula. Never allowed us to get that. So, for example, and I know my friends from
JetBlue are in the audience here. JetBlue and in today's environment has 14
preferential gates at one point when Spirit was operating, spirit had and
preferential gates. But because of their flight activity. They should have
been afforded 20 Referential Gates. But there wasn't that many gates to be able to
afford them. We couldn't take them back. The new agreement every single year. We will go
through a reset to see who's flying, who's not flying in order to keep the airport
imbalance going forward. And it's not just the gates. It's everything that goes along
with it. We have 66 gates. 56 of those gates will be allocated for preferential
use. And in the first deal and then we read, we retain 10 common use gates in order to
handle all the other line. So we have 25 airlines in total. Of those airlines are
signatory 17 or non signatory. We will use those 10 gates operate all the flights for
those other 17 airlines you to go through. It's going to give us greater utilization and
versus the static. The upright Terry signage on the back walls right now. Most of the
airlines have what we call hard static signage. When we switch counters around, we
move airlines around. It becomes very difficult to get rid of that proprietary
signage. So we've negotiated that we're going to change that going forward. The minute
we get any area back will be changing and that with dynamic signage that we can move
airlines around a whole lot easier. You're seeing this at airports more more more at the
back while we're not talking about. You know, a 42 inch monitor. We're talking about
something that actually is wall size. That is in dynamic electronic digital format so
that we can actually change whoever's operating at that gate. actually branded very
going forward. last Mr. >> been signed already points. >> Now it will become the
airlines are all in agreement. This would be coming so long as the commission is a willing
to endorse it. It's coming to the board on September 10th. >> But there are an

airport airline communication coordination. This establishes a program and point Haitian

to sit down with them on a regular basis and talk about our projects and operational

>> the Triple-A seen the county to use best efforts to meet no less than quarterly to
discuss. Key matters. And then the county, Maryland representatives used
reasonable efforts to meet monthly to discuss and resolve issues related to facility
utilization technology and design standards. You know, going forward. This is all
baked in the new agreement. >> After hearing from my board members, I'm only a talk
positive about the greater London JetBlue. For the answer. All right. For that.
>> close out the least news agreement, the new Airline Airport use lease agreement
and terminal building. These agreements provide for financially strong,
operationally flexible in airline supported framework that enables the county to
continue the transformation. Modernization and expansion of FL one of the county's key
economic engines and to begin implementation on the next phases of the airport's
development, especially the critical landside improvement projects. We've all talked
about how difficult can be to get in and out of our airport facility. Roadways are too
small. None of parking many times and we're still moving people around our airport on
shuttle buses when the other 3 large airports in the state of Florida are using automated
people, technology. They've been using it for decades and decades. Because we spent so
much time, so much effort to try to make sure that the front door is fixed. So that
you can grow on the back side to get additional concourses in Gates. We wanted to say
that same time the new agreements acknowledge and recognize the value business
partnerships with our airline can and their respective needs, including terminal and
gate. Developing for future growth. So well, they would love to have. Not 66 gates,
but 76 Gates are 86 gates until such time as you can get traffic in and out of the
front. Trying to add more gates to huge scale, I believe would would cause and the
severe detriment of health folks would come and go from our airport facility. We do
want to thank our airport Airline Affairs committee a member lines for engagement
participation throughout this lengthy and into a process that has been long and he's
even as recently as just a day or 2 ago, we were still speaking language to make sure
that we had all the I's dotted and T's crossed and some some issues every time an issue
would come up. Again. A different airlines are running it through their corporate
councils and we get an issue that comes back and says I'm going to change because you
want it, but it might impact your Operation, Commissioner Davis or might impact
commissioner Fishers operation and try to get it all worked out again. Very, very process,
lengthy process. But we landed, I believe, in a really good spot for for both parties
involved here. Any other questions on the lease and use agreement? We do these 2
parts. First, the terminal 5 again because 5 is going to be part of the preapproved bond
financing to cover the cost for that. It's baked into the lease and use agreement as
part of the 2.7 5 billion. But because of those accounts that are set up, there's deposit
accounts and reserve accounts that are in any agreement. They have to be part of the
operating budget, which why wouldn't the operating budget for last? So the key budget
highlights. Airline activity fiscal year 2026. Total past employment are forecasted to
15.9 million, which is 4.9% less in the Fy 26 budget. But remember our largest airline
went bankrupt and out of business at 30% market share, even though we had start to
see a little bit of ramp-up prior to May. 2nd. From a second til July 9th when
JetBlue really started to ramp up that was over 2 months worth of service. So to hit
that mark at 4.9%, I think it's pretty good given what we've gone through. There was
a comment, I think Commissioner Dean, you made earlier when we take a look at
our traffic. It's not in this report here. The ramp up that in the backfield that we've
received thus far fight a look at the seat count, the number of seats that fly through this
airport in December of 2025. vs December program for December of 2026, we're
actually up 2 and a half percent in December of 2026. That's with the demise of
Spirit Airlines in the backfield coming back in. And we believe that's going
continue to grow. To the point again, Gates and competition for Gates becomes very, very
dynamic and very stuff. The fy 27 claimants are projected to be 16.5, 1 million or 1.3.
Below the Fy 26 budget implements. But above where we think we're going end fiscal
year. 26 by almost 4%. On the financial performance. Identify 27 total operating
revenue. Budget is expected to decrease by 4.3%. Compared to fy. 26. The Fy 20 Seven's
operating expense is expected to increase by approximately 5.5% compared to fy 26 and
will go through some of the notable increases decreases, if you will. The net revenue
budgeted to forecast budget to decrease. Excuse me by 34 0.9% compared to fy 26 budget in
decreased by 14.3% compared to the fy. 26 forecast. There's a simple affair. That again goes
back to that F I S stabilization rate. We created this stabilization count. It's
funded with approximately 55 million dollars. And of that, 55 million dollars will
use the first 19.2 million subsidize the revenue requirement from the airlines,
which is going to keep our on CP rates and charges pretty pretty flat. But it's also
going to keep that if I asked charge to travel internationally into our
facility capped at $12. Ultimately that is suppressing its artificially suppressing
the revenue requirement that otherwise would have to be charged. The airlines airlines
were applauding this effort. Again, we have many of our airlines do not fly
internationally. So the notion of funding or artificially subsidizing for those that are
coming in on the international side wasn't always well received, but ultimately the
way our our budgets work, it would have had to come back to everybody across the board. We
came up with this innovative way are. CFO who's no longer here with us. He's moved on. I
was highly instrumental this working the liaison Officer, Jason Watkins, and of course,
Priscilla new. picked it up and ran with as well on. So our cost for employment rates
and charges. The CP is budgeted to $10.60, which is $0.42 less in last year's
budget or this year's budget. I should say. CP is supported by 19.2 million dollars of
finest. A position right? And our fy 27 landing fee will also decrease by 7.8 percent
down. Dollars and $0.38 from where its current level at $2 and 50 $0.8.
>> Can understand what the decrease? These increases? How do they How do they affect the
overall budget? Decreasing? Landing fees? So the airlines have to pay Airlines like this
charging. We'll go down. But this to charging high airfares.
>> The if the airlines are charge has nothing to do with their fares. The airlines are
charged according to what it costs for us to actually operate the airfield where the
terminal. We have cost centers that are broken out for each one of us.
>> OK, so it go based on. You can control these prices is what you're saying.
>> We can't control them to a certain degree. When we get further into the presentation,
commissioner, you'll see how we look at both non airline revenue and airline revenue
essentially the way our models work is you take all of our expenditures are in very
simplistic terms. Take all of our expenditures and apply the non airline revenue that we
get and sessions our key advertising are rentals and apply that to our
expenditures. Whatever is left over on those expenditures becomes what we call the
airline revenue requirement. What they have to pay us. 43% in our budget. That 43% then
is now divided into its cost centers. How much is on the airfield? How much is
interminable damages on the land side? How much is space that we have to take care of?
How much is common? You space? needs to be taken care. There's a very elaborate we'll
call rate making methodology. That is part of our agreement. It's one of the exhibits
that's how we've negotiated with the airlines that what they pay.
>> But this is not a fact. Could this not affect the pricing? Because always heard
that. For example, in Miami-Dade, the landing fees are higher. And so a lot of
times affairs. Be affected because they say we pay more landing fees. So
if going down. You know, move the airline, you take that their prices would So to go
up. >> I think what's driving the airline prices bill up.
>> You'll uncertainty, labor labor was a huge, huge increase going forward. The
shiny moment and that commissioners. >> Quarter after quarter after
quarter. Between. >> You know, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the
Bureau of Transportation Statistics and surveys that are Donald across the country.
Fll comes out as either the number one for the number 2 lowest cost airport in the
nation for average one-way fares. There's actually a chart here that I'll show you
where we are recognized called out by being the lowest in the in the nation right now. $261.
Average one-way fare lower than 50 49 other airports in the nation. Thank you. And
that's attributed to us trying to keep our cost is no. And CEO Garrity for JetBlue made
mention of this in one of her her interviews when she gave about JetBlue trying to create
the Latin American Caribbean gateway Hub. I think she caught at Broward counties are
Broward County is wise to keep their costs as low as we can at the airport because it does
help attract business coming into our airport. These are just the the projections
again, for the passenger trends, all the on the right. The blue is domestic. The
Orange is international. You can see that we're still in recovery mode for some of the
international forecasting 2.8 million on the employment for international. If you look
years back in 2020 for 2023, we're up into 3.7 million. That is a direct function of
all the international service that JetBlue our team Spirit was providing. Now we're going
to see with JetBlue providing ultimately the bulk of the service with a Latin American
Caribbean gateway. Hopefully the numbers and that aren't are going to continue to
decrease increase. And we're also seeing some of our other carriers indicate that they
also are looking to fly internationally here in the future as well. More
passengers that fly internationally through our facility. Snead, there will be
for that EFI. A stabilization those costs will pay for themselves to the head count.
That's actually coming through the facility. The Fy 26 protective and claimants the
crease with spirits ceasing operations. But then that was anticipated. Backfield. 27 and
claimants are projected to be 16.5, 1. Or again, 1.3% below fy. 26 budget. But above where
we're going to end Fy. 26 on September 30th of this year. So we came down, but we're
coming back up. Where we rank ACI rankings just came out recently for the year 2025.
20th in total passenger traffic in the nation. 21st in domestic traffic 14th in
international passenger traffic. On the right-hand side where markets for county
year 2025. On the domestic and the international side. The narrative on the left, the way
we read, this isn't the year to date calendar 2026. What's in Orange is the 2025 Paris
and so. 2026 Fll had an average of 262. Daily domestic departures versus 251 last
year, 211 cities versus 101 last year, meaning our domestic
operation. He's doing better in 2026. And it was in 2025. Inversely on the international
side in 2026. 65. Versus 68. Average daily international departures to 48 versus 51
destinations to 22 countries. So we're running a little bit lower on international than we
were last year. But again, hopefully with the work that JetBlue and others are doing.
We as well as additional air Service development activities. I will see an
increase on the international side as well. What's the current airline market share?
So on the right hand side, it's current fiscal year, October, first through June,
30 thing you see spirit in there. That was the aggregate at one point time Spirit had
31%. market share. This was the nine-month look for the fiscal year. But if you want
goes out of business, if you take a look at June only for Fy, 26, you can see the
JetBlue. Has jumped up to 33.9% and some of the other airlines have also increased.
You can see Southwest even went from 9.3 to 10.8%. Delta went from 12.8 to 15.3%.
Allegiant mayor's favorite airline right now. I went from 4.4% to 7%. So you can see
that it was absorbed by more than just one airline across the board. But in fact, it the
July 26 numbers came out after submitted this presentation just came out last couple of
days. JetBlue for July only it was 37.8%. I believe Noel. You. So it's even greater than
the 33.0. 5 1%. >> Would you mind using your Mike? Thank you. You're
talking about this where they were. When you do the annual reset. So now you have a lot
of changes here. But but all those lot of those things, more recent yet right there.
Not reset yet. So so gate counters, all those things. No reset on October. 1st. So for
example, on the preferentially skates. JetBlue has 14 preferentially skates today
right on October. First, JetBlue will have 21. So and so like maybe a he'll be like
a legion. I will have. This is double the amount of as Jynneos Legion goes from
Forty-niners coming up, right 2 to 3. Preferential Gates. American goods. More counters
coming American because they want more counters, >> Just show they will work
because it's the least they need more countered by does it still have the 2 employees
sitting there just push through? Mr. Davis, this was commentary that was talking
about. >> it just picked this article of America's most Affordable

major air hub is Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International with an average
fare 261.0. 69 and a location convenient to several of the Sunshine State's iconic
attractions. So it is something that we see repeatedly over and over
again. And that is largely due to the number of lower fare carriers that we fallen
through. We get into the financial performance again. Airline revenues. 2 green
columns from the Fy 26 budget to the fy 27 creeks, the airline revenues. 185 million
in this fiscal year. Their budget at 176 Million. And in the Fy 27 budget. Again, a lot
of these are a result. You'll see kuz that airline revenue requirement goes down. That is
because of the stabilization funds that we've injected in. Rental cars 83.8 million down
to 79.6 million. That's just a function of what we're seeing in the marketplace and a
number of passengers that are traveling through here. Same thing with parking. We've seen
some behavioral changes on the parking side. It was 69 million budget. Looks like
we're going to come in 63 million at the end of this year. And then 65 million is
our projection for the budget for next year. We see more folks taking things like
rideshares to and from the airport. We think that has an impact on concession revenues.
These are things that are watching. Looks like we're going to come in 49.7 million
for this year. Again, some of that is a function of spirit. sensation of service where
Terminal 4 in particular became a bit of a ghost town for 2 months. But we're seeing
the activity pick back up. Terminals wanted to wear HMS host and Hudson or operator
actually seen quite healthy numbers over in terminal one terminal try to balance it
out. >> On the Uber and Lyft to do we get any airport fee for
each pick-up. >> We get per pickup that comes through. If you recall
when when Uber Lyft first started. Before it was mandated by the state at in
terms of the charges we were charging $4 and $0.50 for pickup and $3 for taxi cabs
and the state came in and overrode us and said you can't charge you can't you can't
charge rideshare airport. You can charge rideshare more for that. Pick up. Feed the new
charge. A taxi cab. So we had a lower the rate for Uber and Lyft from $4.50 to $3 to match
the taxi cab. We took a 33% cut that was back in 20. I believe. We're seeing certain
days, particularly during cruise traffic where we'll see. 12, 13 as many as 15,000
person left come through the airport in a single day. Between terminal the pickup
areas that you Palm Garage and terminal 3 for pick up term of 3, 4, We see as many as 400
who burst coming through in an hour. One every every 5 seconds. I mean, through. And
when you add the other ones and you can see 7 or 800 Wright shares coming through
and now. The parking garages are not empty, but we we do see a little bit of softness
in that area. So we're looking at really closely. And again, some of this is just
demographics about what people are are. Other getting to and from the airport speak and
start parking comparable to Miami and Palm Beach. In terms of his cost. Charges charges
were less time. We could raise the fee. We raised the fee a few years ago. We went from
$15 to $20 in the parking garage and are valet. Went from 25 to 30 and in the short
term, we kept it the same. $36 per day. But we we changed how it ramps up as you in the
before we raised it. You can stay in that short term for after day before you hit the
top, the rate. But because we wanted to see the turnover in their quicker to make space is
available, we can press that he actually hit that operate. Pastor, it's $2 every 20
minutes when you go through there. But we still people that come in park in short
term. Not just for a day, but for many things in a row. But the revenue numbers, again, we
see different. Metrics on what's the duration of state versus how many transactions
we get. It is something that we continue to watch. But rideshare for sure has changed
quite a bit of of folks coming. >> As it relates to the state
legislatures and their mandate as to what we can charge. When do we evaluate and back into
advocacy moved those funding. When do we do that? They don't know what we're failing. Not
that they care. But I think responsibility. >> I think that the it's
great. It's great question. Commissioner. One of the when that when that change was
first enacted, where was, you know, you had a choice. You could raise. The fee on the
taxicabs from 3 to $4.50 or lower or try to somewhere in between the decision at that
point in time was not to raise the fee on the taxi cabs. There are still quite a happy,
healthy next, a cab environment there still is build it. But we see. 85% of
the pickups at the airport. Commercial pickups at the airport. A rideshare and about
while the 15% tax right now. Play around. And we're happy to look at the scene where
where that fee should be. don't think that the state is going change anything other
than you can't charge more or less if you charge $5 charge $5 or $3 $3. There have been
efforts we believe at at the state level, some of the rideshare companies to attempt
to cap that at certain point. you can't charge let's say more than $2, which would be
devastating. And it is something about your Patrick's on the rumor or Casey, but
that that's something that we need to pay close attention to with our lobbyist
>> we as we. Look at. Miami, real ways. Compare ourselves to Miami or Palm Beach or
whatever. Do week pay. >> The fees parking fees. So when we raised the rates 2
years ago, 3 years ago now, 2 years ago, >> you know, we did it in such
a way that we tried to become comparable. if we can do to increase the revenue but not
be the highest priced. So we actually still do ride either right at or just below Tampa,
Orlando or Miami. We actually have a chart on that commissioner. Be happy to
provide to you. We updated frequently to see where the charges are. And we are. But
we are not just competitive, but much like the airfares. I think we are the lowest across
the board. >> One final question as it relates to our search, their
tax. >> I know we first started that was not included in. The
vote that I cast. It was not a choice. What was not listed on there was for the airport. Get
any pleaded it administratively and where are correct in doing so because we
see the improvements that were made just because of that. This the commission. This
budget, do you see that contribution public tax? >> So the surtax fundings is
in the capital side of the House. It's 177 on one side in 203. I think 2.15. No totaling
approximately 380 Million. So. Those mega projects that we've mentioned, the the automated
people mover system and Intermodal Center. Approximately 1.4 billion
dollars apiece. So those surtax funds go to those different projects along with
the other funding sources by and those projects are still going to be paid for by
general airport revenue bonds and the debt service is going to run through our region
charges and your lines, pick them up. I just like Experience. It's definitely
ever grateful. This is like to hear it. Sometimes like Oliver twist. Things have please,
sir, may have some more. Here is a deal tribute. >> Even if we airport, use in
our tax dollars. It's taxes. Bres. >> Our business partner
airlines would love it if we obviously any funding sources that that can offset those
costs that are not being charged to revenue bonds and the debt service being flowed
through the model which they ultimately have to guarantee and pick up is where we would
like to resign. So whether the state con. >> Oracle by administrative,
we get into credit for that in the budget. >> Yes, ma'am. give you all
the credit for >> And if I can make one clarifying statement. So just
for the public, that might not this one understand we're talking about public dollars
were talking about sales tax dollars, not property tax dollars. Just to clarify
regressive. >> The footnotes of the bottom of this page again during the
pandemic weather was cares or or Sarah say or All of those funds are now expended. There
are no more injections of federal dollars to help offset our operating budget. Just a
quick look at the revenue diversity, you know, where the revenues come from on the
right hand side is the fy 27 budget of 409.4 million. 43 1% of that. Is airline revenues.
57% of it is non airlines to rental cars, parking concessions and others that
contribute to it. again, that know about the 19.2 million helping to stabilize on your
line. Revenue side of the House. Operating expenses >> the fy 27. But you can see.
The variances on the right-hand side from a budget to budget year. Where we see
increases, let's say and contractual services. That's a janitorial shuttle bus
services through the great work I think of are chief operating officer Rusten on a
maker and his team to try to make sure we keep those costs trying to seek operational
efficiencies. But other creases that we go down software. It's a big number on
55 0, 3%, increase. These are some numbers that are just out of our control. That's what
costs for its offer, support and licensing. Law enforcement increasing from the 56 million
in. The Fy 26 budget to 16 and the Fy 27 budget. Utilities actually goes down a little
bit. Insurance goes down and we have a slide that talks about some of these notable
increases and decreases on the on the next page. So the notable increase in salary and
benefits based on anticipated salary adjustments and increases the group insurance
costs went up by 4.4 million janitorial. 2.6 million increase based contract
pricing and potential increase on RFP for terminals CCO seize our airport operations control
center policies for the acronym. MILLION dollars equipment, maintenance.
Because previously covered under other contractual services that were absorbing.
Now they're no longer covered on those contractual services. And then 5.5 million legacy
security systems upgrade or bringing some of our legacy security systems in House and
doing it with our own folks. In order to retain regained, excuse me, greater control and
reliability rather than having it by third-party contraction services that were not always.
The reliability wasn't where we needed today. Decreases 2.7 million insurance decrease.
Reflecting normalization after Hurricane Ian. 1.1 million, as I said, electric utility when
down based county estimates and $832,000. Due to operational efficiencies. To
the key rates and charges. You go across our and claimants again, 16.5 million on the
employment. Lanning fee is $2 and $0.38 for says $2.58. Are tied to space inside the
building, which is the the the tax base that we used to price everything out for airlines
$2. $215.72 the love from its 202. The F a S t. Currently at $14. And today's budget. But
we're capping that at $12. Again. It's a $2 decrease. Try to make sure that we remain
competitive in the international arena to attract more international carriers.
So our aggregate cost per plane passenger was budgeted at 11. 0, 2, in this fiscal
year. Budget. Our forecast with with everything applied in here, looks like we're
going to come in a $10.13. But then for the budget. It's $10.60 for the Fy 27 budget.
So the column in the Middle. want to confuse you. But the pin where it says an adjusted,
that's what our rates would have been. If we didn't apply the EFI a stabilization on
sand there. So you can see that RFI us fee. would have jumped from $14 to $21. Are
higher. >> These numbers based on because of the signatory
contractors, a part of everything is based all of our deposits to our counts that
are talked in there that become a commitment and obligation and how we fund all
of our region charges. That's all Big here. Okay. So those that $0.50 per plane passenger
or the deposits to the to development reserves, the 5 million dollars. All of that
becomes part of then we go. We take all of the obligations commitments and we run it all
back through the rate model to get the suspect writes, how much to the measures in figure
And they do that. Would you be doing that once a year? Yes, we do. We reset every single
years. I said if we we set are non airline revenue, those fees that I or the revenues
they just went through, concessions, parking, whatnot. We project how much we think
we're going to do. And if it comes in higher, then these rates you would see would go
down the following year. It does right. >> Up and down depending upon
how how conditions are. >> Marc, earlier, you had said that we were at to 61. The
close to. it's true. We were the lowest in your with you said in the region of the
country, it's in the country. U.S. domestic. It's not an international.
>> And in senator, those those statistics and the surveys in this case, this taken from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. So when they published new data, we watch depend upon, you
know, who's doing the surveys? If it's an external survey, those numbers fluctuate a
little bit. But this one was from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
>> Mike. Solar energy. I mean, just looking at improvements. And what are your plans for
that? Because we're looking at. We do to lies the services Currently. Can you separate
here? Your fire from your line for? >> We can do that,
commissioner. Yes, we have that separated out. It's not in the presentation that we
will make sure that you you have data for you. So you can see what the increases are.
With respect to the first question on the environmental and particularly with the
solar. That is something that we're always looking at. How do we, you develop efficient
facilities so terminal 5, for example, LEED certification. When we look at the Intermodal
Center and whether or not you seen some locations, whether there could be solar panels
are raised that might be able to positioned on top of that facility going forward. The
rest of the campuses is tight and wouldn't allow necessarily for solar Ray. It's something
that we have looked at. So we're looking at other opportunities that we might be
able to enhance savings increase or are environmental responsibility in that regard.
>> Are you using a wheelchair that are automated? I sit in and it takes.
>> Not. Yeah. they are. >> In use at other airports but there and you said they're
procured and use in most places by companies that provide the services directly
to the airlines and they invest in I actually had somebody that told me they
used one I actually saw them in service a pin Detroit. I didn't write myself, but I did
see it in action. >> Just curious as to when we're going to get there. I
don't like them because they're taking away jobs. Well, that's my reason for
that. Supporting I want this. >> It wouldn't be something commissioner that we would be
investing in ourselves just yet that there's there's approximately 55 different
companies. What we call airline service providers that provide the services to the
airlines. And that is the services provided to their line by one of several
companies. They may choose to invest it, but we haven't had any conversations with anybody
just yet about putting them into Fla. close it out the capital budget, 152 million
for the fy. 27. How much of it actually hits or airline rate base and 79 Million.
64 million in bonds. 14.6 million and what we call cash that's actually flows through
our rate model and then on rate contributions to the capital program. Pastor
facility charges PFC Ys F DOT FAA and then also getting some FEMA money for damage is that
we incurred different points in time, whether due to the flooding in 2023. or some
other issues. We're looking to get those monies into the capital program here. Yes, the
last bond issuance at the airport. was in 2019. So we are gearing up to actually
once the board hopefully approves the agreements with the airlines. We're working
with the finance Division 2 to their back by. red by airport revenues. So it is external to
the county. fully backed by the credit of the airport. That's why the airlines are
our financial backstop and they covered the debt service to the rates and charges.
>> As opposed as opposed to the other model, we move you. >> The other model, if we took
on all the risk, it would be if you had if you had really downturn. So, for example,
back in fiscal 2020. During the pandemic. When everything dropped out, even with federal
funds coming in, we still needed to go back to the airlines and get additional
monies for them in order to make sure that we maintain debt. Service coverage isn't
paid bills and several airlines had to check had to write checks to us in the
millions of became our financial banks. Are they working parts of the point?
>> Which is why you're recommending this for September 10th. To try to
bring it on. Yeah. Sorry. That's just the breakdown of how it's
>> You can see that private the majority of everything that we're going to be doing
going for the future. But not all of it is in the land side. That is the intermodal that
PM. That is roadway construction. That's where you can see the next 5 years
fixing the front side of the airport. You know, most centers, you know, gets
another 7,000 provided of 7,000 parking spaces for the airport. Last couple slides
here. The capital program, 5 years just breaks out by fiscal year with the
expenditures are most notable. I think in here you can see in Fy 29 and fy 30 see big
numbers. That's where the expenditures on the land side, 611 Million. 1.1 billion, 710
million. That is us investing in the front door of the airport getting this big mega
projects done. North Perry on the airfield. Fy 27 28. landside. And we're still
working on the perimeter pathway around the airport going forward. That's broken
down in a couple different phases commission. We can give you an update on that
Perimeter Pathway Project as well. This is just the laundry list of of all the different
projects that are in the Fy 27 Capital Improvement Project. One for you with any of And
then we have what we refer to as renewal or replacement projects vehicles, computer
hardware, common use equipment were not all that totals up 152 Million. that's that.
Question, sir. >> On the APM, which is the top thinking that you have on
2027 cip. We've been talking about both the 08:00PM and the airport Seaport connector for
a long time. Can you just give us very, very quick update on that teach? You know, I've
I've had some questions, not about the 08:00PM, but the airport Seaport Convention
Center connector because of my questions to whether or not we will. Ever in any of our
lifetimes reach an agreement with the FTC and my understanding we don't
actually need to an agreement or we do. I know we need the aerial rights. Do we need
anything else from FTC to make the airport Seaport Convention Center connector work.
>> I'll defer to the county, mister on the airport Seaport Command Center connector. The
2 projects that the airport is lead on for the animal Center and the automated people mover
system. And we remain in ongoing discussions. County, Kelleher, myself is me. Met
with FTC as recently as a couple weeks ago. So those dialogue continue about use,
aerial them for 35 for first agreement. were very optimistic. We do. We'll get
something and they are necessary for the 08:00PM and its configuration to be able
to service center. That's why we're at the table with them working through those issues
with them. So the >> the not the 08:00PM, but the right most center is
dependent Reaching agreement with the FTC. it's going to say because just give up the
Intermodal Center. >> No, you gone that. I'm going. I does the Intermodal
Center sits on FDOT property? So we have we have ongoing discussions with FDOT
regarding the lease for that property that doesn't touch the FTC right of way, but to
be able to get to the Intermodal Center via the Apm Guideway we cross over the FTC
right away at about 60 or 65 feet in the air in order to feed into the animal center.
When we did the environmental ce or the projects, the Intermodal Center as well as
the 08:00PM. And and the discussion about the airports, the Port connector. You're all
viewed is as having independent utility, meaning any one of them could operate
on its own. And so the Intermodal Center could operate on zone. It would just
require surface transit to be able to get back and forth to it. At that point time it
buses. >> So to switch gears, thank you, mark, on your question
related to the connector. So none of there's no need for FCC U.S. all county property
for the connector. And we're already in the peony phase for that project. And that is
under the Transportation Department. That is the lead for that project we're looking
around. I think 2032 for completion. So the question. >> While I have serious
questions will ever be able to get. Use of their tracks just to get over their tracks. You
know, since I know we don't have the state of west Florida west of where Henry plants
tracks where we know the state of east Florida, everything east of FTC and the 3rd state
between. If you see and CSX, I know there's a way of are getting over their tracks. We
may not get access to their tracks, but there have to be a waste of getting over them.
And I know if we have to go admitted to being we can. >> And for that project is as
Mark was sent sharing, I think it's really about the connection between the
automated people mover at going across over to the IMC. Once you get over to the IMC
at that point, that's where we would use to connect to the light rail system to connect 3
economic engines. So and that's on county property. Mr. Goh, thank you as well.

of the signed agreements, if you will, on September 10th. What was done in 2011 is even
though all airlines are in agreement with this, some of them take a little bit longer
to get through their corporate processees 2011 emotions were here. Are the airlines that
are ready to sign. But these other signatory airlines that still have to go through their
their boards might not be up to get through to October November was a motion that
said we're going to treat branches signatory status to the end of the year. And while
you go through your your corporate process, if by the end of the year, you haven't

>> If a a coordinating with them on any movements. The tower. Is that moving
>> We continue to have the It's an FAA and tower. We are on their list. But the FAA
tower there is is significantly down. But we continue to try to get a time
frame for when they might be willing to replace that control tower. We continue to
work with various branches of the FAA to get them to give us data on all the inspections
that are taking place. And why can we not help? I raise this issue with really high level
senior member of the FAA just a couple of weeks ago and said we want to be help. We're not

and we at our last workshop. We discussed the family trial court administrator program.
If you remember, the chief judge was here and 2 other judges and judge team in
Bristol. and judge out pristine. and the court administrator Joe D'Amico and
we had a general consensus of it and then we went to the meeting and the meeting was
cut short. regular commission meeting and we did not have a chance to. Finalize it. So I
have asked the administration, you know, how do we now handle this? So it was I was advised.
I should really just kind of bring this up today because of the fact that we did have a
consensus. But and they have the money there. But need an approval so to speak. I
thought we ready move ahead, says Thank you, But we but I was advised that they need to
hear it right. So thank you, Senator, and for bringing us up today in the budget
context, it was a budget discussion. >> It was something that
originally Senator Rich had brought to the board after the initial priorities were set.
But she brought a separate agenda item to you all. It was a discussion item only with no
vote. And that is why I had asked her to bring it a word against to get the consensus
from the board from a budget workshop perspective. And it was perfect because today was
a budget workshop. >> Well, it budget hearing for that. We all had a consensus
on that. >> It never made it to discussion on the budget But
if you guys have consensus today, we'll move forward and that there's sufficient
reserves for the onetime program. Again. And then we can re-evaluated after
November. Don't come >> I believe we all really talked about this. We did. I
just need. >> It's the family court program and and the program.

caught us all surprised. But we support it. Reaction to to begin this That's correct.
This and are we act being axed to increase the funding to the program? What are we being
axed? I don't recall fully. What was the final decision? Are we increasing? Are just
doing what we did the previous year? What is the requests? >> You want to do to Everett.
I'm happy do what your item if you'd like it. It is to continue this program. They
have implemented it. I have a whole list here of 209 families that have been
referred to family Court services for services and 9 intially would be the same.
The same would be the same to do it again on a one-time basis pending the outcome in
November to see if there would be in consensus consensus, consensus consensus market
