Meeting Minutes
The following City Councilors were in attendance: Airport Committee Chair Sean Faircloth,
Councilors David Nealley, Sarah Nichols, Dan Tremble and Joseph Perry. Also in attendance
were City Manager Cathy Conlow, City Solicitor Norman Heitmann and Airport Director Tony
Caruso.
Agenda and Discussion:
1. Airport Public Use Policy
Director Caruso presented a request for the Committee to approve the proposed Airport Public
Use Policy. The Policy was adjusted based on feedback received from the Committee at last
month’s meeting.
Groups would obtain permits, there would be designated areas within the terminal, airport
staff would approve art displays and their locations, and there would be designated areas for
demonstrations outside the terminal. The Policy was developed after review of similar policies
at other Airports.
Motion was made, seconded and unanimously approved to adopt the Policy.
2. Airport Statistics - May
Director Caruso reported that we are up 9 ½ % over May, 2016 and 6% year-to-date (YTD). We
are slightly down (2.2%) year-to-date when compared to our average. We expect to see an
increase in United market share and load factors as the airline moves into its busy season.
We are now also compiling statistics on a fiscal year basis so we can compare to our budget
year. We are on trend for approximately 492,000 passengers this fiscal year.
Total Operations month-over-month is flat, YTD is down slightly (2%) but fiscal YTD is up 1%.
The major driver continues to be DoD traffic although that traffic and corresponding fuel sales
have dropped. Despite this, we are on pace to exceed last year. We are on pace for over 9
million gallons.
Meeting Adjourned.
