If approved, the base rent would be $1,590 with the tenant being responsible for all utilities. The term of the lease is for one (1) year, with two (2) one-year options for extensions adjusted annually based on the CPI, which shall not exceed 2.5% each year. Motion made, seconded and approved. The Agreement will be presented to the City Council for final approval. 2. Airport Master Plan Director Caruso wanted to let the Airport Committee know that the FAA has recommended that we update the Airport’s Master Plan. We completed our last Plan in 2012. The airport master plan is a comprehensive study of an airport and will typically describe short, medium and long- term development plans to meet future aviation demand. The plan looks at several aspects of airport operations including environmental and security requirements. Findings from the Master Plan study help set priorities within our annual 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). We have early cost estimates for the study. The Airport would pay for the study initially, then we would seek 90% reimbursement from the FAA as Master Plan projects become AIP-eligible 3. Airport Statistics – October Marketing Manager Aimee Thibodeau distributed the Statistical Report for October, showing another record month. Load factors are up and all airlines are averaging near 80%. Total YTD passenger count is up 13% over last year and nearly 30% above our 4-year average. Total Operations numbers are up 3% for October and YTD. Military Operations are up 6%. Fuel Sales were 12% below October 2017. Meeting Adjourned.
