Mr. Neary seconded the motion which passed unanimously. V. AIRPORT STAFF BRIEFINGS, REPORTS & PRESENTATIONS A. Airport Report Mr. Bass presented (PowerPoint) an overview of airport operations including the Airport Performance Metrics Report for January 2017 and a comparison of commercial service performance (March through September) for 2016 and 2017. His summary covered Growth and Air Service, FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Capital Improvement Plan Update (2017-2022), Projects Update, and Snow Update. This year, total flights available will be March 9, 2017 Page 1 of 3
18% higher and total seats available 23% higher than in 2016. Load factors are currently running at 80-92%. Taxiway B started its 90-day construction schedule on March 6, 2017. Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center construction lost two weeks to snow and is running about 3.2% over the $3.2 million budget. Cost to date for the 9,000,000 cubic feet of snow moved by Airport crews is $126,292. He shared photos of snow operations. Mr. Bass, Ms. Honn, and COAST (Central Oregon Air Service Taskforce) members attended an air service conference in Phoenix, Arizona. During the three-day conference, they met with Allegiant Air, Alaska Airlines, and United Airlines regarding future air service. Mr. Berg said snow-damaged infrastructure at Madras Municipal Airport was being repaired by Public Works. Ms. Jorgenson reported flying twice during the snow and commended staff for their performance. B. Initial Budget Priorities Mr. Bass presented (PowerPoint) what budget law allowed him to share about the Airport s financial priorities for fiscal year 2017-2018. He outlined current top priorities (replacing operations equipment, increasing security, efficiency upgrades, personnel review) and long-term considerations (taxiway crack sealing, northside ramp replacements, terminal seating upgrade, northside building demolition, electrical upgrade, pay parking expansion). He will review the new budget with the Airport Committee at a future meeting. VI. OLD BUSINESS A. TNCs B. Ground Transportation Operating Agreement and Fees Mr. Bass announced that Uber and Lyft transportation network companies were coming to Central Oregon. He summarized changes made to update ground transportation agreements. Each TNC will be required to sign an operating agreement with the Airport which will include random vehicle inspections and driver conduct standards. All Airport employees, contractors, and ground transportation staff must now wear security badges. The PIN (personal identification number) in the badge will facilitate tracking the taxi drivers use of Airport property. Staff will meet with the TNCs next week to explain the process. The new operating agreements are expected to be implemented on April 1, 2017. Updating the fee structure is expected to generate $30,000-$35,000 revenue per year. Mr. Berg reported discussion at the Oregon Airport Managers Association meeting about Uber and Lyft services. Madras is not allowing Uber at this time. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Election of 2017 Officers Motion 2 (6/0/0): Mr. Berg moved to elect Mr. Sande to serve as Chair for 2017. Mr. Sande agreed to serve. Mr. Moor seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Motion 3 (6/0/0): Mr. Moor moved to elect Mr. Neary to serve as Vice-Chair for 2017. Mr. Neary agreed to serve. Mr. Berg seconded the motion which passed unanimously. B. 2017 Airport Committee Work Plan Chair Sande directed committee members to contact Mr. Bass or Ms. Honn with their suggestions for the draft 2017 Goals and Work Plan. Chair Sande commended staff for doing a phenomenal job. The Airport is growing, service is increasing, staff managed an amazing snowstorm, and service problems with American Airlines a few months ago have improved. March 9, 2017 Page 2 of 3
Mr. Bass explained how the Airport addressed problems with the level of customer service provided by American Airlines. He said talks were ongoing and asked committee members to report what they hear to him or Ms. Honn. Ms. Honn discussed the challenge presented by the Airport s having no control over ground handlers contracted by the airlines. Mr. Berg reported the local general aviation pilots he spoke with today had no complaints and felt the Airport s handling of operations during the snowstorm and at other times was fine. VIII. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS Ms. Jorgenson said she had not yet received the acronym list. Ms. Honn said she sent it out but would check. Mr. Neary said he felt the Airport team was doing well. Mr. Sande reported his experience booking four tickets to Des Moines for flights from the Redmond, Palm Springs, and Portland Airports to Des Moines. Contrary to his expectation, Portland was more expensive than Redmond. Mr. Berg asked what preparations Redmond Airport was making for the eclipse event on August 21, 2017. He outlined preparations (and infrastructure costs) Madras Airport has been making for the last three years. He is expecting people from all 50 U.S. states and 21 countries. He discussed the expected impact of over 100,000 visitors for the days before/after this event (August 17-23) on airport facilities, transportation, lodging, restaurants, grocery stores, and other tourists). Mr. Livingston said he was looking forward to serving on this committee and summarized his aviation background. Auna Pendergrass asked if the Airport used environmentally friendly de-icing chemicals. Mr. Bass said de-icing regulations at Redmond Airport were less stringent than those on the west side of the Cascades; he will research/report at the next meeting. Mr. Roshak said the Portland International Airport has to collect and recycle de-icing chemicals. Mr. LeLacheur explained more about the product used in Redmond and how it had to be handled. Mr. Berg urged everyone to contact their state legislators on the fuel tax bills and related legislation being considered by the Oregon Legislature in its 2017 session. The leaded fuel ban is a great concern as no substitute is yet available for this fuel source. Next meeting: Thursday, May 11, 2017, 5:30 p.m. IX. ADJOURN With no further business, Chair Sande adjourned the meeting at 6:17 p.m. APPROVED by the and SIGNED by the Chair this day of, 2017.

Agenda items appear in the order they were discussed.) I. CALL TO ORDER ROLL CALL Vice-Chair Neary called the regular meeting of the Airport Advisory Committee to order at 5:32 p.m. Ms. Prow called the roll and confirmed a quorum of members (3 of 9) was not present. II. III. IV. ANNOUNCEMENTS A. Swearing In New Committee Justin Livingston Vice-Chair Neary postponed swearing in Mr. Livingston due to his absence. COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS None. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Vice-Chair Neary postponed approval of the March 9, 2017, minutes due to lack of a quorum. V. AIRPORT STAFF BRIEFINGS, REPORTS & PRESENTATIONS A. Airport Report Mr. Bass presented the Airport Performance Metrics Reports for February and March 2017. His overview (PowerPoint) of progress since the March 2017 meeting included growth/air service, CIP (Capital Improvement Plan), projects, personnel, and cool stuff. The new 7,000-square-foot Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center and its 110-foot tower should be operational in mid-june 2017. The Airport is expecting a large increase in commercial service starting in June and is continuing to work on developing new markets. Projects underway included Taxiway B, Airport sign plan, Runway 11-29, ground transportation May 11, 2017 Page 1 of 3
options (see NEW BUSINESS below), parking lot management (bid opening May 17), drone program (implementing post-eclipse), and new leasing software. Personnel changes included adding four positions (engineer, security assistant, landscaping/facility, custodial). Ms. Honn s last day will be May 12, 2017. The Airport will refill that position. The Airport has won seven awards for its rehabilitation of Runway 5-23 (4-22). Advertising revenue is up 10-15% in 2017. He shared slides of new juniper art which is being developed. Airport Facebook page postings/views are up and the Airport website has been updated as well. Committee discussion included adding contingency funds to future project budgets to cover cost overruns and excitement about the growth in commercial air service. Ms. Honn demonstrated how the new leasing software will be used to improve property management efficiency. Additional modules for ARFF (Airport-aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting), maintenance work orders, Part 139, and security can be added in the future. B. Budget Report Mr. Bass reviewed (PowerPoint) the proposed Airport budget for fiscal year (FY) 2017-2018 and included comparisons to actual figures for FY 2014-15 and FY 2015-16 and budget figures for 2016-17. The Budget Committee approved the FY 2017-18 budget in April and City Council will review it in early June. Revenue is up but so are costs. The Airport is not currently marketing to general aviation (GA) clients due to lack of space but is considering how to meet the increased demand proactively. Current top priorities included replacing operations equipment, increasing security, efficiency upgrades, and personnel review. Ms. Pendergrass asked about the energy efficiency of lights and doors, if there had been any major problems with fire, and potential environmental issues. Committee concerns included enplanement growth and if objectives (metrics) had been established for all profit centers. Mr. Centers, Mr. Coffelt, and Mr. Neary said they were comfortable with the budget as presented. VI. OLD BUSINESS A. TNC Update Mr. Bass said negotiations with transportation network companies were continuing. The Airport wants Lyft and Uber to use the same annual operating agreement. Lyft is close to signing. Uber is already dropping people off but not picking them up yet. Committee members and staff discussed their experiences with Uber. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Eclipse Planning Mr. Bass said Redmond would accommodate what it could but he felt it was more important to maintain the Airport s niches: commercial air service and fire. Redmond s police chief, city manager, and emergency management staff are more directly involved in planning for the eclipse than he is. He has advised both FBOs (fixed-base operators) that reservations for the 30 tie-down spots the Airport manages will go through Ms. Shaw. Redmond runs 85% full (average) in August. He requested committee feedback on whether to protect the established niches or seek additional revenue opportunities due to the eclipse. Mr. Coffelt said he did not see a benefit for the Prineville Airport due to security issues. He has been referring people to Madras and reserving most of his airport for emergency services. He s expecting the number of people coming in to double Crook County s population for several days in the middle of August. A limited number of extra tie-downs will be offered on a first-come/first-served basis. May 11, 2017 Page 2 of 3
Vice-Chair Neary felt the key to Redmond Airport s revenue soundness lay in keeping commercial service running as smoothly as possible. Mr. Centers said Redmond should not shortchange commercial and fire services during the week of the eclipse. He recommended keeping the runway clear for the National Guard. Mr. Foote said he felt commercial service was more significant to Redmond. VIII. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS Councilor Patrick recommended members check out the Airport website to view the budget preamble as well as metrics. Mr. Bass said he would e-mail a link to committee members on May 12, 2017. Vice-Chair Neary thanked Ms. Honn for her hard work on behalf of Redmond Municipal Airport. Ms. Honn said she valued the relationships she had built during her time with the Airport. Next meeting: Thursday, July 13, 2017 IX. ADJOURN With no further business, Vice-Chair Neary adjourned the meeting at 6:55 p.m. APPROVED by the and SIGNED by the Chair this day of, 2017.
