ADJOURNMENT 13 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 3 1 On Monday, February 16, 2015, at 8:30 a.m., a regular 2 meeting of the Kerrville-Kerr County Joint Airport Board was 3 held in the Airport Terminal Conference Room, Louis Schreiner 4 Field, Kerrville, Texas, and the following proceedings were 5 had in open session: 6 P R O C E E D I N G S 7 MR. LIVERMORE: The meeting will now come to order 8 of the Kerrville/Kerr County Joint Airport Board. I believe 9 it's 8:30. We have a quorum. At this time, any person with 10 business not scheduled on the agenda may speak with the 11 Airport Board. No deliberation or action can be taken on 12 these items because the Open Meetings Act requires an item be 13 posted 72 hours in advance. Visitors are asked to limit 14 presentations to three minutes. Are there any such? Seeing 15 none, move on to Item 2. Does any member of the board wish 16 to address the board on any item? Seeing nothing, we will 17 move on. We have a consent agenda. We need to approve the 18 board minutes of January 19th. May I have a motion? Or -- 19 well, first, any discussion? May I have a motion? 20 MR. GRIFFIN: I'll move that we approve the consent 21 agenda. 22 MR. WOOD: I'll second. 23 MR. LIVERMORE: It's moved and seconded. Any 24 discussion? Seeing none, all in favor, say "aye." 25 (The motion carried by unanimous vote, 3-0.) 4 1 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay. James? 2 MR. ROBLES: It's been brought to my attention that 3 everyone's thoroughly reviewed the statements. Is there any 4 questions on them? 5 MR. LIVERMORE: Anyone have any questions on the 6 financials? We had a wonderful month financially. Seeing 7 none, I would ask for approval of the financials. 8 MR. WOOD: Is that a motion that we need to make? 9 MR. LIVERMORE: I believe it is. 10 MR. WOOD: Okay, I move we -- 11 MAYOR PRATT: Accept. 12 MR. WOOD: -- accept the statements for the month 13 of January 2015. 14 MR. GRIFFIN: I'll second that. 15 MR. LIVERMORE: Any discussion? All in favor? 16 (The motion carried by unanimous vote, 3-0.) 17 MR. LIVERMORE: Or all that wish to vote. You can 18 vote any way you wish. Okay. Tom? Is Tom here? 19 MR. McKENZIE: Tom's not here. 20 MR. LIVERMORE: Tom Bowen is not present? 21 MAYOR PRATT: Was he going to be here? 22 MR. McKENZIE: He's supposed to be here today. He 23 said he was going to be here. 24 MAYOR PRATT: Why don't you delay that and go on 25 down to the next one? 5 1 MR. LIVERMORE: Will do. Okay, we have a proposal 2 to put advertising on the back side of the airport sign, 3 $1,200 a year. As we -- so people leaving the airport will 4 be able to see the writing on the sign. Is there any 5 discussion of this proposal? 6 MR. McKENZIE: Have you seen it, Kirk? 7 MR. GRIFFIN: Yeah. I think it's a great idea. 8 MR. WOOD: This is a guy that -- lieutenant of our 9 officers here. 10 MR. McKENZIE: That's correct. 11 MR. WOOD: I've known him for a long time. He's in 12 the airport brokerage business, and he's a new business here 13 at the airport. So -- 14 MR. LIVERMORE: Be nice to see him do well. 15 MAYOR PRATT: Before you approve anything, I would 16 suggest you develop an advertising policy first. What are 17 you going to allow for advertising? 18 MR. GRIFFIN: What are we going -- 19 MR. WOOD: You mean what types of advertising? 20 MAYOR PRATT: Yeah. 21 MR. McKENZIE: For businesses on the field. 22 MAYOR PRATT: If that's all it's limited to, that's 23 okay. But -- 24 MR. McKENZIE: That was always their intent. 25 MAYOR PRATT: I understand that, but you got to 6 1 have a policy to state that. 2 MR. McKENZIE: Okay. We can -- we can create a 3 policy for the next meeting, if that's -- 4 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay. 5 MR. WOOD: I think that's probably a good idea. 6 MR. McKENZIE: Yeah. 7 MR. LIVERMORE: Yeah, probably is. 8 MR. McKENZIE: That's fine. We can do that. 9 MR. LIVERMORE: I think we need to -- 10 MAYOR PRATT: Otherwise, you open it up and 11 everybody wants to, and then you don't have a policy to say 12 no. 13 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay. Bruce, will you develop a 14 policy -- 15 MR. McKENZIE: Yeah. 16 MR. LIVERMORE: -- and schedule that on the next 17 meeting? 18 MR. McKENZIE: You bet. 19 MR. LIVERMORE: I think it's a wonderful idea, 20 income for the airport. 21 MR. McKENZIE: Do we need to wait on this till we 22 do that? 23 MAYOR PRATT: I would. 24 MR. LIVERMORE: I think we better wait on it. 25 MAYOR PRATT: Better wait to get the policy. 7 1 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay, we'll schedule that or move 2 that forward to the next meeting. 3 MR. McKENZIE: Okay. 4 MR. WOOD: Do we have to do it in a meeting, or is 5 this something Bruce can do and then -- 6 MR. GRIFFIN: Establish a policy and send it out. 7 MR. WOOD: -- send it out by e-mail? 8 MR. LIVERMORE: Yeah, it needs -- 9 MR. WOOD: I'm just saying I hate to make Harry 10 wait a month. 11 MR. McKENZIE: That's what I was thinking. 12 MAYOR PRATT: Well, he can -- he can develop a 13 policy and then he can send it out, but you guys can't "reply 14 all" 'cause of the quorum deal. But you can -- 15 MR. McKENZIE: They can reply to me individually. 16 MAYOR PRATT: Yeah. 17 MR. WOOD: Why don't we do it that way? 18 MR. McKENZIE: That's fine. 19 MR. LIVERMORE: So what are you saying, Bill? 20 MR. McKENZIE: We're going to establish a policy. 21 MR. LIVERMORE: Yeah. 22 MR. McKENZIE: Go ahead, Kirk. 23 MAYOR PRATT: He's going to create a draft policy. 24 MR. GRIFFIN: Going to create a draft policy, 25 submit it, and at the next meeting, we can approve it. But 8 1 that way, Harry will have the -- he needs to know that he can 2 go start to develop it, too. 3 MR. McKENZIE: He'll just have to wait 30 days to 4 make sure. 5 MR. GRIFFIN: Yeah, he just can't turn it on till 6 30 days. 7 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay. Bruce, you wish to discuss 8 Item 4D? 9 MR. McKENZIE: Let's see, where are we? 10 MR. GRIFFIN: 4D. 11 MR. McKENZIE: 4D, Airport Board members. We have 12 two members of our board, Steve King and Ed Livermore, whose 13 terms will expire 1 June of this year. I've spoken to 14 Mr. King; he has agreed he can serve one more term. He has 15 agreed that he would serve another term. And I spoke to 16 Mr. Livermore; he has also agreed to serve another term on 17 the board. Since we don't have a full -- we have a quorum, 18 but we don't have five folks here, we'll probably put this 19 off till March to let the board vote on themselves, and then 20 we'll present it to the City and County, as we have to do 21 every time. 22 MR. LIVERMORE: Has to be approved by the board 23 first. Our problem is we only have three here today, and I'm 24 one of the three, so I would recuse myself from that vote; 25 thus we would have two. I don't know if that's still a 9 1 quorum or not. 2 MAYOR PRATT: No, it's not. 3 MR. LIVERMORE: So we got a little issue. 4 MR. McKENZIE: We should wait till March when 5 everyone's here, but that's what it's about. 6 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay, so we're going to schedule 7 that for March. We have employee evaluations. I read them. 8 I believe the others have probably read them. I agree with 9 them. What should we do? Do we need to approve -- 10 MR. GRIFFIN: We just have to approve his. 11 MR. McKENZIE: You have to approve mine. 12 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay. May I have a motion? 13 MR. WOOD: I make a motion we approve the -- 14 MR. LIVERMORE: Wearing you two guys out here. 15 MR. GRIFFIN: I'll second. 16 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay, it's been moved and seconded. 17 Is there any -- does anyone wish to discuss it? 18 MR. GRIFFIN: I don't think there's any discussion. 19 MR. LIVERMORE: Seeing none, we'll move to voting. 20 All in favor, "aye"? 21 (The motion carried by unanimous vote, 3-0.) 22 MR. LIVERMORE: Nay? None. At the end of the next 23 March meeting, we shall move -- right after that meeting 24 concludes, we'll move into a budget workshop to work on our 25 budget, and then that will be able to move to hopefully raise 10 1 any questions, resolve any issues, and then that will be 2 presented at the April meeting, as it is every year, for 3 final approval. Is that correct, Bruce? 4 MR. McKENZIE: That's correct. 5 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay. So, do we need to discuss 6 any more about that? 7 MR. McKENZIE: I'll just make sure the board all 8 knows, and everyone knows that we'll adjourn and go directly 9 into a budget workshop after the March meeting. 10 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay. 11 MAYOR PRATT: What's the date of the March meeting? 12 MR. McKENZIE: 16th, I think. Isn't it, Carole? 13 MS. DUNGAN: Yes, sir. 14 MR. McKENZIE: March the 16th. 15 MAYOR PRATT: Okay. 16 MR. LIVERMORE: The budget workshop each year is 17 very important, and our airport is becoming more and more 18 financially stable. This is -- I mean, closer to standing on 19 its own. Number 5. Do you have any general information? 20 MR. McKENZIE: Just a couple of things. Our 21 beacon's back in service. It was out for about 10 days; had 22 the motor rebuilt. The second thing, we had a meeting last 23 week over at Mooney with the contractor with Mooney, and Kirk 24 and I attended the meeting, and the engineers, and they've 25 established a start date of somewhere in the neighborhood of 11 1 1 April, which is about five weeks from now, six weeks from 2 now. As soon as we get the contract signed, the bonds 3 executed, and they should start, so that'll put theoretically 4 a completion date of around the 1st of November for all of -- 5 for that project. So, it's a significant project. I was 6 impressed with the contractors. I'll let Kirk address that. 7 They seem to be very professional, and they knew what they 8 were talking about. So, we'll see if they know what they're 9 doing. 10 MR. LIVERMORE: Well, I don't think it should go 11 unnoticed that the City and the County and Mooney have 12 partnered on this in a very wholesome way. And I think, 13 really -- 14 MAYOR PRATT: Could I say that that's one-third 15 each. 16 MR. LIVERMORE: Sir? 17 MAYOR PRATT: Round figures, one-third each. 18 MR. LIVERMORE: And it's the City and the County. 19 Their leadership in this should not go unnoticed. 20 MR. McKENZIE: It worked well. They worked well. 21 MR. LIVERMORE: The next point -- does that 22 conclude your report? 23 MR. McKENZIE: Yes, sir. 24 MR. LIVERMORE: The next point is the executive 25 session. I don't know that we have any business for such. 12 1 Because he is here, I would go out of order and ask the Mayor 2 if you have anything you wish to discuss with us? 3 MAYOR PRATT: No. The only thing is, I think it 4 just needs to be noted that the -- the Airport Planning 5 Committee met. 6 MR. McKENZIE: Met. 7 MAYOR PRATT: But we don't have anything to report 8 at this time. We're still in the planning process. 9 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay, good. 10 MR. McKENZIE: We'll meet again in April. 11 MR. LIVERMORE: I don't believe that Mr. Bowen has 12 arrived. 13 MR. McKENZIE: I don't think so either. 14 MR. LIVERMORE: So I don't think there's anything 15 on Page 2 here. 16 MAYOR PRATT: Do you have any idea what he's going 17 to report on, Bruce? 18 MR. McKENZIE: No, sir, I don't. I visited with 19 him, Mayor, but I don't know what his intent was with those 20 buildings. 21 MAYOR PRATT: I know what he told me, but I -- I 22 don't think I'm the one to report what he said. 23 MR. LIVERMORE: Okay. Seeing no other business, we 24 can move to adjourn. 25 MR. GRIFFIN: I so move. 13 1 MR. WOOD: I second. 2 MR. LIVERMORE: All in favor? 3 (The motion carried by unanimous vote, 3-0.) 4 MR. LIVERMORE: Thank you for your great 5 cooperation. New record. 6 MS. DUNGAN: Eleven minutes. 7 (The Airport Board meeting adjourned at 8:41 a.m.) 8 - - - - - - - - - - 9 10 STATE OF TEXAS | 11 COUNTY OF KERR | 12 I, Kathy Banik, official reporter for Kerr County, 13 Texas, do hereby certify that the above and foregoing is a 14 true and complete transcription of my stenotype notes taken 15 at the time and place heretofore set forth. 16 DATED at Kerrville, Texas, this 16th day of February, 17 2015. 18 19 _______________________________ Kathy Banik, Texas CSR # 6483 20 Expiration Date: 12/31/16 Official Court Reporter 21 Kerr County, Texas 700 Main Street 22 Kerrville, Texas 78028 Phone: 830-792-2295 23 24 25
