WE'RE GONNA GO NOW INTO OUR, UH, BRIEFING FOR TODAY. 
          AND BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER, ERIC WALSH, TO GET US STARTED, I JUST WANNA MAKE A, A COUPLE COMMENTS HERE ABOUT, UH, WHAT I THINK IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DAY. 
          UH, FIRST LET ME RECOGNIZE ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF OUR AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE WHO PASSED AND PRESENT HAVE BEEN WORKING, UH, ON THIS PROCESS, UH, FOR PROBABLY ABOUT FIVE YEARS NOW. 
          UM, ONE MAN HAS STAYED THERE AT THE HEAD OF THAT COMMITTEE FOR A LONG TIME AND SIGNED UP FOR MORE THAN, UH, I THINK HE WAS BARGAINING FOR, BUT JOHN DIXON AND, AND THE AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. 
          COULD YOU ALL STAND UP? LET US RECOGNIZE YOU AND YOUR HARD WORK, ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, GREAT JOB, EVERYBODY. 
          AND OF OF COURSE, UM, JESUS AND ERIC. 
          WILL, WILL, UM, INTRODUCE MEMBERS OF OUR CITY STAFF TEAM, AND OTHERS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROCESS. 
          I, I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS DAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. 
          AND, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY. 
          UH, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 10 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, THERE, THERE ARE A FEW MOMENTS THAT I WOULD CALL TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR OUR CITY. 
          I REMEMBER ONE IN PARTICULAR IN AUGUST OF 2017 WHERE WE CONVENED BEFORE THE FIRST BUDGET, UH, THAT I PRESIDED OVER A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ROOT CAUSES OF POVERTY AND INEQUITY IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND REALLY A, A CANDID DISCUSSION ABOUT REDLINING. 
          THAT WAS A TRANSFORMATIONAL MOMENT FOR OUR CITY, IN WHICH I THINK THEREAFTER WE HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME. 
          AND THAT'S FOR, FOR POSITIVE REASONS. 
          UH, I WOULD SAY THAT TODAY IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS. 
          UH, WE ALL KNOW THAT FOR THE TIMES THAT WE'VE BEEN IN SAN ANTONIO AS RESIDENTS AND VISITORS, THAT WE HAVE LONG BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE INADEQUACY OF OUR AIR FACILITIES AND THE FACT THAT AS A TOP 10 CITY IN THE UNITED STATES, WE NEED TO DO BETTER IN OUR AIRPORT. 
          UH, WE BEGAN IN 2017 WITH AN AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO REALLY ADDRESS THE ONE QUESTION. 
          I STARTED WITH A HYPOTHESIS THAT, UH, SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS IN THE HEART OF ONE OF THE LARGEST CITIES IN AMERICA. 
          UH, AS SUCH, IT IS, IF IT'S SERVING AS IT SHOULD, UH, WOULD BE A STRATEGIC COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR A MAJOR CITY TO HAVE A AIRPORT WITHIN 10, 15 MINUTES OF ANY MAJOR VISITOR, RESIDENT, OR BUSINESS DESTINATION. 
          THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES, WE'VE BEEN DEBATING WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD HAVE OUR AIRPORT MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE OR BUILT SOMEWHERE ELSE. 
          UM, AND I THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD BUILD A, THE AIRPORT THAT SAN ANTONIO DESERVES WHERE IT'S AT, WE WOULD HAVE ONE OF THE ELITE AIRPORTS IN THE UNITED STATES. 
          UM, I WANT TO THANK JESUS 
          [00:05:01]
AND JOHN, ERIC, ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAM THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROCESS EVER SINCE THEN, BECAUSE THAT, THAT QUESTION WAS ANSWERED. 
          YES, OUR WORLD-CLASS AIRPORT CAN FIT RIGHT WHERE IT'S AT. 
          UH, AND THE WORK THAT'S GONE ON IN THE MEANTIME IS TO ENHANCE THE OFFERINGS AND THE SERVICES TO MAKE, UH, NOT TO, TO TRANSFORM WHAT HAS BEEN VIEWED AS, UH, AN ACHILLES HEEL FOR THE CITY INTO ONE, I THINK WILL BE A STRENGTH MOVING FORWARD. 
          WHAT THAT DOES FOR OUR COMMUNITY, OUR RESIDENTS, UH, CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. 
          THE STATEMENT THAT IT MAKES FOR OUR CITY ON A NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SCALE, NOT ONLY THE CITY THAT WE ARE AND WE KNOW WE ARE, BUT ALSO THE FUTURE OF THE CITY ALSO CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. 
          SO TODAY IS, UM, A DAY THAT I'M GONNA, I BELIEVE LOOK BACK ON AS, AS ONE IN WHICH THE, THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY CHANGED FOR GOOD, FOR BETTER, UH, AND FOREVER. 
          AND SO, UM, WITH THAT, I JUST WANTED TO SET THE CONTEXT OF WHY I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS DAY FOR SO LONG AND WHY I THINK, UM, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE'LL CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE WHERE WE STARTED FROM, UH, ON, ON THIS DAY IN FEBRUARY. 
          SO WITH THAT, LEMME TURN IT OVER TO ERIC AND, UH, LET'S GET US STARTED WITH THE PRESENTATION. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, I ALSO WANT TO, UM, ADD, UM, THE, UH, MY THANKS TO THE A S D C AND JOHN AND, AND HIS WHOLE TEAM. 
          UM, AND THEN WE HAVE MEMBERS OF THE AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL HERE WHO CHAIRED BY, UH, MARK FESSLER AND THEIR CONTINUED WORK, UH, AT THE FACILITY AND THEIR, AND THEIR GUIDANCE. 
          UM, TODAY DOES MARK AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE, UH, IN OUR AIRPORT. 
          UM, IT'S PHASE ONE OF OUR STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT OUR TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          UM, YOU ALL APPROVE THAT STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN NO NOVEMBER OF 21. 
          AND AFTER A YEAR OF ADVANCED PLANNING, UH, WE'RE READY TO TRANSITION INTO THE DESIGN OF THE NEW FACILITY. 
          AND YOU'LL SEE RENDERINGS TODAY. 
          WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH YOUR OFFICES, THE F A A T S A, UH, THE AIRLINES, UH, THE A S D C AND THE AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT, UH, WE ARE, THERE IS AN AWARENESS AND SUPPORT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, UNDOUBTEDLY FOR THE REASONS YOU STATED, MAYOR. 
          IT IS TRANSFORMATIONAL AND CRITICAL TO, UM, OUR RESIDENTS, OUR ECONOMY, AND THE FUTURE, UH, OF THE CITY. 
          UM, THE, THE AIR, THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, AS YOU'LL SEE, AND AS WE CONTINUE TO DO WORK IN 2023, IS GONNA BE THE BIGGEST CAPITAL PROJECT IN THE CITY'S HISTORY. 
          UM, AND WE HAVE ASSEMBLED, UH, A TEAM OF EXPERIENCED INDIVIDUALS BOTH IN-HOUSE AND THROUGH CONTRACTS OF, OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE DONE THIS WORK, UM, UH, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, AND IN SOME CASES, THE WORLD THANKS TO THE STREAMLINED, UH, PROCESS THAT WE PUT IN PLACE LAST YEAR IN OUR QUARTERLY B SESSION PRESENTATIONS TO COUNCIL. 
          UM, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE ARE ON SCHEDULE TO, UM, OPEN THE NEW TERMINAL IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2028. 
          NOW, AS WE GO THROUGH MORE WORK, UH, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO CONTINUE TO SQUEEZE THAT TIMELINE, BUT WE WANNA BE REALISTIC. 
          WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING THAT TODAY YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOME RENDERINGS. 
          UM, AND WE HAVE, UM, UM, HAD CORGAN AND LAKE PLATO ON BOARD SINCE, UH, LAST SPRING. 
          UM, AND THEY'LL BE PRESENTING TO YOU THOSE RENDERINGS. 
          IT'S THE FIRST LOOK AT, AT THE FUTURE TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          YOU'LL GET A SENSE OF THE LAYOUT, UH, THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF THE EXPANSION, WHICH IS LARGE. 
          UH, WE'RE AT 15% DESIGNED FOR THE PROJECT. 
          SO THE RENDERINGS WILL SHOW YOU THE CONCEPTS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY MATERIALS AND FINISHES AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. 
          THAT'S WORK THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, UH, THIS YEAR. 
          UM, WE'RE GONNA SHARE WITH YOU ALSO THE PROPOSED DELIVERY METHOD, UM, AND, UH, THAT'S GONNA BE CONSTRUCT CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK AND THE BENEFITS THAT IT GIVES US, UH, FOR THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM. 
          AND FINALLY, WE'LL DISCUSS WITH YOU ON THE GANTT CHART. 
          YOU'LL SEE, UH, THE PARALLEL EFFORTS THAT WILL NEED TO COME TOGETHER OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 18 MONTHS TO ALLOW US TO PRESENT YOU THE FINAL BUDGET AND SCHEDULE FOR THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          UH, THE AIRPORT EXPANSION IS NOT LIKE, UM, SAY THE EXPANSION OF THE CONVENTION CENTER, WHICH REQUIRES US TO IDENTIFY, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE NEED FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT AND MATCHED UP AGAINST WHAT WE CAN AFFORD. 
          UM, THE AIRLINES ARE A KEY STAKEHOLDER IN THIS PROCESS, UH, AND IN THIS PROGRAM AS REVENUES THAT ARE GENERATED BY THE FEES, UM, UH, I'M SORRY, THE, THE REVENUE GENERATED THROUGH THE LEASES WITH THE AIRLINES, UM, AND, AND OTHER, UH, REVENUE AT THE AIRPORT IS ALL GOING TO HELP COVER THE COST OF THIS CAPITAL PROGRAM. 
          SO WE'RE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF NEGOTIATING NEW AIRLINE LEASES. 
          UM, AND, UH, WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT, UH, THROUGHOUT THIS CALENDAR YEAR. 
          SO OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS, WE HAVE AIRLINE LEASE NEGOTIATIONS. 
          [00:10:01]
WE HAVE, UH, MORE DETAILED DESIGNS THAT NEED TO BE DEVELOPED IN PARALLEL. 
          AND, AND THE THIRD LEG OF THAT STOOL, I'LL SAY, IS THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY AND RISK ANALYSIS THAT WE'LL BE DOING WITH OUR FINANCIAL TEAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THAT IT IS A BALANCED APPROACH GOING FORWARD. 
          SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT DESIGN TO CONTINUE THE REST OF THE YEAR. 
          AND, UM, IF ALL, UH, GOES AS ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE, WE'LL BE PUTTING SHOVELS IN THE GROUND, UH, FOR PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND ENABLING WORK EARLY NEXT YEAR, THIS TIME NEXT YEAR. 
          SO, WITH THAT, UM, WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE ROOM, UM, AND JESUS WILL INTRODUCE THEM, BUT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JESUS TO GET US STARTED. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, JESUS SIGNS, DIRECTOR OF AIRPORTS FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          THANK YOU, CITY MANAGER. 
          UH, MR. WALSCH, UH, I'LL START FIRST BY, BY SAYING THE, AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF GRATITUDE GOES TO, TO EACH OF YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AS EFFICIENTLY AS WE'RE MOVING. 
          UM, IT, IT IS A VERY COMPETITIVE WORLD THAT, THAT WE OPERATE IN, IN THE AIRLINE BUSINESS IN, IN THE AIRPORT BUSINESS. 
          SO FROM OUR STANDPOINT, IT'S ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEING COMPETITIVE, AND THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE'RE PUTTING OURSELVES, UH, AS AN AIRPORT. 
          UH, I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, THANK FIRST AND FOREMOST ALL OF THE, THE MEMBERS OF THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TEAM. 
          UM, I THINK OF, YOU KNOW, EACH OF THE PLAYERS, WHETHER IT'S MARIA THAT WORKS SO HARD DAY IN AND DAY OUT, YOU KNOW, CLEANING OUR FACILITIES AND THE WORK THAT SHE DOES TO ENSURE THAT THE AIRPORT STAYS CLEAN, WHETHER, YOU KNOW, IT'S RAMIRO WHO'S IN SECURITY AND WORKS EVERY DAY, DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, OR WHETHER IT'S MELINDA AND LIDDY THAT SIT IN THE FRONT OFFICES, HELPING PEOPLE AS THEY COME IN AND OUT TO VISIT THE AIRPORT DAY IN AND DAY OUT. 
          OUR AMBASSADORS, THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE, AS WE THINK ABOUT 400 PLUS EMPLOYEES THAT MAKE IT HAPPEN, AND YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE COMING OUT OF A POST COVID ERA, AND, AND IT, IT'S DIFFICULT. 
          IT, IT, IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY FOR THE ENTIRE TEAM. 
          SO, UM, FROM MY STANDPOINT, I TELL THEM EVERY DAY I'M HERE TO SERVE THEM AND TO ENSURE THAT WE GET THINGS DONE. 
          SO, UH, COULD NOT BE MORE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT THEY HAVE DONE TO PUT US IN THE POSITION THAT WE'RE IN AS WE START TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR US AND THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE HEADING TOWARDS. 
          SO, WITH THAT, ALSO, I'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, FIRST START OFF WITH OUR EXECUTIVE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT TEAM. 
          I KNOW DAN MALLOY, HE'S HERE. 
          IF YOU COULD PLEASE STAND. 
          AND THEN WE'VE ALSO GOT AS WELL, UH, JUAN SIERRA, WHO'S PART OF OUR P M C M TEAM, IF HE COULD STAND AS WELL. 
          AND THEN EVERYONE FROM THE SAN ANTONIO AIRPORT TEAM THAT'S HERE AS WELL. 
          ALL, ALL OF OUR LEADERSHIP, I'M NOT GONNA NAME THEM ALL, YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO MEET THEM. 
          THEY'RE STRIKING DEALS, THEY'RE MAKING THINGS HAPPEN DAY IN AND DAY OUT. 
          UH, THEY DESERVE A LOT OF CREDIT. 
          AND THEN TODAY IT'S ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT CORGAN HAS DONE FOR US. 
          SO IF CORGAN, IF YOU WANNA STAND IN LAKE PLATO, IF YOU CAN, PLEASE STAND AS WELL. 
          IT'S THE WORK THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, AS WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN IN THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE HEADING, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. 
          THANK YOU ALL. 
          SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, AND AS WE, YOU KNOW, EMBARK ON THE FIRST SLIDE AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT THE AIRPORT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, BEFORE WE GET INTO THAT, I REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE AGENDA FOR TODAY AND WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH AND WHAT WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS AS WE TALK ABOUT A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT OR THE WAY WE DO THINGS. 
          WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT THE SCOPE AND THE SCHEDULE, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT YOU KNOW TO TODAY'S AGENDA IS ABOUT THE STA THE STATUS UPDATE OF WHERE WE'RE AT, OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH, THE PATH FORWARD AND THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE HEADING. 
          UM, THE RENDERINGS. 
          I'M GONNA LET CORRIGAN COME UP HERE. 
          AS YOU KNOW, WE FINISHED THE, THE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO ERIC'S MENTIONING EARLIER IN NOVEMBER OF 2021. 
          WE IMMEDIATELY, IN 2022, LAUNCHED THE EFFORT TO HIRE, YOU KNOW, CORRIGAN AND LAKE PLATO AS A TEAM TO BEGIN TO DO THE ADVANCED THERMAL PLANNING. 
          THOSE ARE THE BRIDGING DOCUMENTS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY. 
          THAT'S GONNA TAKE US TO CLOSE TO 15% TO START THE DESIGN WORK, UH, AS WE BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD AND START TO BUILD OUT WHAT SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. 
          SO THEY WILL COVER THE RENDERINGS AND THEY'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE HARD WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE OVER THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS TO START TO DEMONSTRATE AND, AND, AND SHOW YOU WHAT THE AIRPORT COULD LOOK LIKE AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT STEPS, WHAT DO WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US? UH, CITY MANAGER WALTZ JUST REFERENCED THE NEXT 24 MONTHS, WE'LL SHOW YOU A GANTT CHART THAT SHOWS, YEAH, WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT. 
          WE'VE BEEN BUSY, WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD. 
          I WILL TELL YOU, THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF PASSION AND THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF COMMITMENT TO GET THIS DONE. 
          TO YOUR COMMENTS, MAYOR, EARLIER, UH, I THINK, UH, AS I ARRIVED JUST A, A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS AGO, I HEARD IT IT LOUD AND CLEAR. 
          WE NEED AN AIRPORT THAT THE CITY DESERVES. 
          WE NEED AN AIRPORT THAT REFLECTS WHAT A MEDIUM HUB SHOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          THAT EVERYONE NOT JUST HERE NATIONALLY BUT GLOBALLY UNDERSTANDS 
          [00:15:01]
AND KNOWS WHAT SAN ANTONIO IS ALL ABOUT. 
          AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE WANT TO DEMONSTRATE TODAY WHERE WE STARTED AGAIN, WE REFERENCED THAT NOVEMBER 20, NOVEMBER 18TH, 2021. 
          AND JUST OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT, ERIC PULLED ME TO THE SIDE AND SAID, GREAT, WE GOT THIS DONE. 
          NOW LET'S GET AFTER IT AND LET'S GET BUSY. 
          AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT ALL OF 2022. 
          AND TODAY'S ABOUT DEMONSTRATING TO YOU WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. 
          DON'T MISINTERPRET OUR EFFORTS THOUGH AS WE CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. 
          WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DOES THE FUTURE OF AN AIRPORT LOOK LIKE IN A POST COVID PANDEMIC? AS WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ULTRA ACCESSIBLE, ABOUT ESTABLISHING A CULTURE OF INCLUSIVITY AND ENSURING THAT EVERYONE CAN FEEL WELCOME INTO THE AIRPORT, AND CHANGING THE SPEED OF DELIVERY AND THE FACILITATION PROCESS OF HOW WE DO THINGS INSIDE THE AIRPORT, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES THAT HAVE TRANSFORMED. 
          AND WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT AS WE START THIS TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESS OF WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR AGING INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX, THAT IT TOO IS CONSIDERATE ULTIMATELY OF THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE BECAUSE THE PASSENGER WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LAST SAY IN WHAT WE DO. 
          WE WANT IT TO REFLECT OUR RICH HISTORY AND OUR CULTURE. 
          WE PRESENTED THE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT, UH, PLAN TO YOU IN 2021. 
          I WILL TELL YOU, WE HAD OVER 100,000 DIRECTOR INDIRECT FEEDBACK COMMENTS FROM ALL THE WORK THAT WE WERE SOLICITING IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO THAT HAPPENED, AND WE LISTENED TO ENSURE THAT THE AIRPORT THAT WE'RE BUILDING THIS TRANSFORMATION THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH IS REFLECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY'S INPUT AND THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE RE, THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. 
          ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE TO MEET FUTURE DEMAND. 
          AS I TELL YOU, IN 2019, THE BUSIEST YEAR THE AIRPORT EVER EXPERIENCED 10.4 MILLION PASSENGERS THAT WENT THROUGH OUR COMPLEX, A TOTAL OF 24 GATES WITH NO ROOM TO GROW, NO ADDITIONAL GATES. 
          HOW DO YOU BRING MORE PLANES? HOW DO YOU BRING MORE SERVICE? HOW DO YOU EXPAND AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT INTO THIS CITY? IF YOU DON'T HAVE GATES, YOU CAN'T DO THAT GOING FORWARD. 
          SO AS I ARRIVED AS WELL, AND THE TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING ALTOGETHER, WE IMMEDIATELY LAUNCHED AN EFFORT TO START THE THREE ADDITIONAL GATES. 
          I'M PROUD TO TELL YOU THAT THOSE THREE GATES ARE NOW IN SERVICE. 
          SO NOW WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 27 GATES, AND AS WE COMPLETE THAT, WE'RE ALREADY THINKING FORWARD AS WELL TO CONTINUE TO ADD A GROUND LOADING FACILITY THAT WILL BE COMING TO YOU SOON AS WE START THE CONSTRUCTION WORK. 
          WE JUST FINISHED 30% DESIGN WORK ON THAT. 
          WE'LL BE BRINGING TO YOU A CONSTRUCTION FOR DESIGN BUILD PRO PROJECT TO START THE CONSTRUCTABILITY OF A GROUND LOADING FACILITY TO ADD FIVE ADDITIONAL GROUND LOADING GATES TO FURTHER ADD CAPACITY. 
          THE THREE GATES THAT WE REFERENCED, WHAT DID THAT MAKE AN IMPACT TO? AMERICAN AIRLINES NO LONGER OPERATES OUT OF TERMINAL A, THEY'RE IN ONE SINGULAR TERMINAL AND ALLOWING PEOPLE TO MOVE EFFICIENTLY. 
          SO WE'VE GOTTA TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT FUTURE DEMAND AND ENSURE THAT WE HAVE GATE CAPACITY, WE HAVE THE ASSETS AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE AVAILABLE TO BE ABLE TO DO THE BUSINESS AND ENSURE THAT THE PASSENGER FACILITATION IS MOVING AT THE SPEED THAT WE ALL WANT IT TO MOVE. 
          WE WANT TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES AS INNOVATIONS, WHETHER IT'S AUTOMATED BACKDROPS, WHETHER IT'S ADVANCED SECURITY LANES, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, AS IT RELATES TO THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE THE AIRPORT OF THE FUTURE. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, WE WANT TO MAXIMIZE SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY. 
          WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE TODAY? I'M PROUD TO TELL YOU THAT SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND STINSON MUNICIPAL ARE TWO AIRPORTS OF 24 THAT HAVE REACHED LEVEL ONE ACCREDITATION AND A C I MOVING FORWARD TOWARDS THE USE OF, UH, OF TRYING TO GET TO CARBON NEUTRALITY AND ENSURING THAT WE TAKE SUSTAINABILITY INTO CONSIDERATION. 
          YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF THAT REFLECTIVE IN THE, THE RENDERINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA PROVIDE YOU TODAY AS WE START TO PUT TOGETHER AN AIRPORT THAT LOOKS LIKE WHO SAN ANTONIO IS. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED. 
          WHERE ARE WE TODAY? AS, UH, CITY MANAGER WALSH REFERENCED? IT IS ABOUT A PARTNERSHIP. 
          IT'S ABOUT A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP THAT WE NEED TO HAVE WITH THE AIRLINES. 
          SO WE HAD A ONE PLUS ONE PLUS FIVE AGREEMENT IN DECEMBER. 
          WE BROUGHT TO YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL TO HAVE A 24 MONTH EXTENSION TO THAT TO SIT DOWN. 
          ALL OF OUR SIGNATORY CARRIERS HAVE SIGNED THAT EXTENSION, AND WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEM TO ENSURE THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AND EXPAND THIS AIRPORT, THEY TOO WILL BE A PART OF IT. 
          AND WE WANT THEM TO BE A PART OF IT. 
          'CAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE AN, AN, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NOT JUST THE SAN ANTONIO, BUT AS AIRLINES WANT TO GROW HERE, THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF IT AND WE WANT THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN IT. 
          WE WILL BE WORKING AND WE'LL SHOW YOU IN A, IN A SUBSEQUENT GANTT CHART HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ALIGNMENT AS WE DO THE DESIGN WORK AND INCORPORATE THE AIRLINE PARTNERSHIP AND THE WORK AS WE GO FORWARD. 
          KEY SOLICITATIONS ON TRACK'S, BASICALLY WHAT WE JUST REFERENCED EARLIER, OUR ABILITY TO MOVE AT THE SPEED OF BUSINESS, TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. 
          I CAN'T GIVE ENOUGH CREDIT TO TROY AND BEN AND THE ENTIRE PROCUREMENT TEAMS THAT HAVE HELPED US TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AND GET THESE SOLICITATIONS OUT AND GO, 
          [00:20:01]
UH, WHAT IS RYAN AND, UH, WHAT IS RYAN, DEBBIE AND SHANE AND THE WORK THAT THEY HAVE DONE TO PUT ALL THESE PACKAGES TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, THE PM UH, THE THE PRO THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT OFFICE. 
          WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO US? WE'VE ESTABLISHED THE FOUNDATION. 
          WE'VE, WE HAVE IN, WE HAVE INSURED, AS I TELL YOU, OF THE TEAM THAT WE'VE ASSEMBLED AND WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          WE HAVE A TEAM THAT'S PREPARED THAT, WHETHER IT'S DAN MALLOY, WHO'S DONE CHARLOTTE IN ATLANTA, SOME OF THE BEST COST COMPETITIVE TERMINALS IN THE ENTIRE COMPLEX THAT HAVE WORKED TOGETHER, WHETHER IT'S ONCE WHO WORKED AT D F W FOR MANY YEARS, WHETHER IT'S CORRIGAN WHO'S BUILT AIRPORTS ACROSS THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES. 
          THIS IS THE P M O OFFICE ALONG WITH OUR TEAMS WORKING TOGETHER TO ESTABLISH THE FOUNDATION. 
          WE'RE BUILDING OUR TEAM SO THAT WE HAVE THE NEXT BUILDING BLOCK TO PUT ONTO IT TO BEGIN WHAT WE CALL THE DESIGN WORK AND THE CONSTRUCTION WORK THAT WE'RE GONNA START MOVING TOWARDS. 
          THE 15% DESIGN PHASE IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ARE NOW TAKING WHAT WAS IN, IN THE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN, IN THOSE PLANNING DOCUMENTS TO NOW DESIGN. 
          WE, WE DID THE ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNING WORK THAT WE'RE REFERENCING, AND WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU THE RESULTS OF THAT ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNING. 
          BUT NOW WE'RE GONNA START MOVING OUT OF THIS 15% DESIGN PHASE AND START TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE, HOW WE COULD CONSTRUCT THIS. 
          WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS WE START TO PROGRAM THE BUILDING. 
          WE HAVE A SHELL THAT WE HAVE OUTLINED, AND WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THAT CAN LOOK LIKE. 
          BUT EVERYTHING, THE GUTS ON THE INSIDE, THE UTILITIES, THE MECHANICAL, THE ELECTRICAL, THE PLUMBING, ALL THE SPACE THAT THE AIRLINES, OUR STAKEHOLDERS THAT THEY ALL NEED, WE NEED TO INVOLVE AND, AND RECEIVE THEIR FEEDBACK. 
          WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          WE WILL BE DOING THIS IN ALIGNMENT WITH YOU AT THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS SITS YOU ALL, WE HAVE TO CONSISTENTLY COME BACK AND COMMUNICATE TO YOU ALL OF WHERE WE SIT AND WHERE WE STAND. 
          AND THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS WE'RE HERE AT THIS B SESSION TODAY. 
          SO THIS GIVES YOU A GANTT CHART OF WHERE WE STARTED. 
          YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK BACK AT 20 20, 20 21, THE MAYOR'S COMMENTS WITH REGARDS TO THIS STARTING BACK IN 2018, ALL THE WORK THAT THE A S D C AND THE AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION AND ALL OF THOSE MEMBERS THAT HAVE HELPED PUT TOGETHER ALL OF THIS. 
          NOW WE'RE TRANSITIONING FROM ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNING AND WE'RE GOING INTO THE NEXT PHASE, WHICH IS GONNA BE THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORK, THE NEPA WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED, THE AIRLINE DISCUSSIONS THAT WILL START TO COMMENCE IN THE AIRLINE USE OF LEASE AGREEMENT THAT WE WILL PUT TOGETHER ALL TURNING INTO A BRAND NEW TERMINAL DESIGN. 
          AND WE'LL START TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THOSE CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS HERE SHORTLY OUT OF THE ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNING DELIVERABLES. 
          IN THAT CONTRACT, WE WANTED TO IDENTIFY SPECIFICALLY WHAT IS GOING TO BE OUR PREFERRED DELIVERY METHOD OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS. 
          THE MARKET IS STILL VERY VOLATILE. 
          THERE'S STILL A NUMBER OF UNDETERMINED THAT ARE OUT THERE FOR US TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH ARE THINGS GOING TO COST AND WHAT IS THAT GONNA LOOK LIKE. 
          BUT WE KNOW WITH CERTAINTY IF WE WANT TO HAVE EXIT RAMPS AND WE WANT TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE DESIGN WORK AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE SENSE OF PLACE WE WANNA MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK AS THAT HAPPENS IN 2023, UH, AND PUT ALL THAT WORK OVER THE NEXT 8, 12, 14 MONTHS IN EARLY 2024. 
          WE WANT TO START THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND THE CONSTRUCTION WORK AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          THAT YELLOW IDENTIFIES THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION. 
          WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ENABLING WORKS THAT WE WANT TO DO ADDITIONAL AS WE START TO LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE GARAGE CAPACITIES, ARE WE GONNA NEED ADDITIONAL, UH, UH, PARKING SPACES FOR THE WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO? WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON THAT. 
          YOU'LL SEE IN SOME OF THE RENDERINGS, WHETHER IT'S ROADWAY, WHETHER IT'S A SATELLITE UTILITY PLANT, WHETHER IT'S THE CONNECTION OF, OF OUR, OUR COMPLEXES, YOU WILL SEE A NUMBER OF THAT THAT CAN START THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND THEN JUST THE SITE PLAN TO BE READY FOR WHAT WE NEED TO DO FOR THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING AND THAT WILL COMMENCE, THAT WILL GET US TO THE OPENING IN QUARTER TWO OF 2028 AS REFERENCED AS WELL, THE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS THAT WILL BE ONGOING FLUID AND CONTINUOUS AS WE GO THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. 
          WE HAVE TO WORK ALL OF THE NEGOTIATIONS, COMPLETE THE ADVANCE, THE, THE AIRLINE USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE AIRLINES, AND THEN BEGIN TO DETERMINE WHAT, SPECIFICALLY ON AFFORDABILITY, ON WHAT WE CAN DO AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD AS IT RELATES TO WHAT WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GATES. 
          WE'LL SHOW YOU A COMPLETE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON THE OVERALL FRAMEWORK AND THE CHANGE OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. 
          ALL THAT WILL COME INTO THE OVERALL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO THE PATHWAY FORWARD, WE KNOW THAT WE CAN BUILD UP TO 17 GATES. 
          I MENTIONED TO YOU EARLIER, WE HAVE 24, WE ADDED THREE, TOOK US TO 27 WITH ADDITIONAL GROUND LOADING FACILITY, UH, UH, UH, AN 
          [00:25:01]
ADDITIONAL GROUND LOADING FACILITY THAT, THAT WE CAN ADD UP TO FIVE, UH, GROUND LOADING GATES THAT WILL BE ONGOING IN, IN THE WORK THAT WE DO. 
          THAT'S PART OF ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING FOR THE NEW TERMINAL. 
          THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN TAKE GATES AWAY IN THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE. 
          IF WE DO, WE REDUCE OUR OVERALL CAPACITY OF MOVING FORWARD AND WE WILL CRUNCH OUR AIRLINES TOO MUCH. 
          HENCE THE REASONING WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS NEW TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE DOES NOT ALLOW IN PHASING FOR US TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN WITHOUT BEING A VERY NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE OVERALL DELIVERY OF SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE. 
          WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO ASSESSMENTS OF TERMINAL A AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          TERMINAL A WAS BUILT IN THE 1980S, IT'S APPROACHING 40 YEARS AND IT'S REACHING ITS LIFE EXPECTANCY. 
          IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US TO ENSURE THAT WE GET THE ASSET READY AS WE BEGIN TO, UH, START THE FIRST PHASES OF THIS OVERALL TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, IT'S ABOUT US HAVING OWNERSHIP OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND ENSURING THAT WE MAINTAIN THE INTENT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE DESIGN WORK AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD FROM 15 TO 30 TO 60 TO 90% DESIGN OF THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          ONE THING THAT WE HEARD PREDO VERY, VERY PROFOUNDLY IN ALL OF OUR CONVERSATIONS IN THE S D P, WE WANT THE AIRPORT TO HAVE A SENSE OF PLACE, AND I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT IN THE WORK THAT CORRIGAN AND LAKE PLATO HAVE DONE TODAY, THAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT THEY HAVE BEGUN TO ESTABLISH A TRUE SENSE OF PLACE FOR THE NEW AIRPORT TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          WE WILL CONTINUE CON, WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO CONSIDER ALL DELIVERY METHODS FOR ALL ENABLING PROJECTS. 
          SO WE'VE DECIDED FOR THE LARGE TERMINAL COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE WILL NOT DO, YOU KNOW, A DIFFERENT OR ISSUE A DIFFERENT DELIVERY METHOD FOR OTHER PROJECTS. 
          AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WITH REGARDS TO THE GROUND LOADING FACILITY. 
          SO THE PROGRAM BUDGET DEVELOPMENT, WE TOLD YOU WHEN WE COMPLETED THE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN 2021, IT WAS ESTIMATED TO BE APPROXIMATELY $2.5 BILLION TO DO THE ENTIRE PROGRAM, RIGHT? WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK THAT WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH. 
          AS I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT PROGRAMMING THE INSIDES OF THE TERMINALS, WE'VE GOTTA ESTABLISH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AIRLINES AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM AS WE DO THE AIRLINE USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT. 
          SO WE WILL CONTINUE THAT WORK. 
          UH, MICHAEL GARNET, BEN AND TROY ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR CONSULTANTS AND EVERYONE TO ENSURE THAT THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY AND THE RENI RISK ANALYSIS ARE PERFORMED AS WE COMPLETE THAT AIRLINE USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT WITH OUR AIRLINES, ALL TOWARDS ENSURING THAT WE DO WHAT, THAT WE MAINTAIN OUR COMPETITIVENESS AS WE ENSURE THAT AS PASSENGERS PURCHASE TICKETS COMING OUTTA SAN ANTONIO. 
          AS WE MAINTAIN OUR COMPETITIVE COMPETITIVENESS AGAINST OTHER AIRPORTS, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE NOT JUST COMPETITIVE COMPETITIVENESS IN AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT. 
          NOT ONLY COMPETITIVENESS IN THE WAY WE DELIVER SERVICES AS IT RELATES TO CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, BUT ABOVE ALL THAT WE REMAIN COST COMPETITIVE IN THE WAY WE DELIVER, IN THE WAY WE DO THINGS. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, AS WE DEVELOP THE BUDGET DESIGN WILL BE VERY CRITICAL TO THE WAY WE DO THAT. 
          SO, UM, THAT'S IMPORTANT AS WELL AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO AS WE TRANSITION OVER AND COMPLETE THESE SLIDES, BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO CORRIGAN AND TO LAKE PLATO, AND ALLOW THEM TO GIVE YOU A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE AIRPORT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, UH, I JUST WANT TO EXTEND, THIS WAS A VERY LARGE, UH, UNDERTAKING BY CORGAN AND LAKE PLATO. 
          THEY HAVE ANSWERED OUR TASK IN A VERY EFFICIENT MANNER TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN SEVEN MONTHS AND BE ABLE TO ALLOW US TO MOVE AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO AS WE ALIGN ALL OF THESE STARS TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE ALL MOVING THROUGH YOUR SUPPORT, THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF THE CITY AND THE ADMINISTRATION AND ALL THE WORK THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO, AND THEN BEING ABLE TO HIRE CONSULTANTS LIKE CORRIGAN TO HELP US DELIVER WHAT WE'RE DOING, THIS IS WHY WE'RE ABLE TO MOVE AT THE SPEED THAT WE'RE MOVING AT. 
          SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I'M GONNA LET CORRIGAN AND I'LL COME BACK AND CLOSE OUT THE SESSION IN A MINUTE. 
          CHANCE IT'S ALL YOURS. 
          THANK YOU, JESUS. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA WALK YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          COUPLE OF KEY THINGS THAT JESUS HAD MENTIONED ALREADY WAS THE, THE REALLY THE KEYSTONE IN THIS OVERALL COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. 
          AND THAT IS THE, THE SEVEN, UH, THE, THE NEW TERMINAL THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 17 GATES. 
          JUST STEP UP. 
          SO YOU SORRY, BROADCAST, I, SORRY. 
          SO THE, THE KEYSTONE OF THIS, THIS PROGRAM IS THE NEW TERMINAL THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 17 NEW GATES. 
          THE OTHER THINGS INCLUDE WITH THAT ARE A NEW CHECK-IN HALL AND, UH, EXPANDED SCREENING, 
          [00:30:01]
SECURITY SCREENING, UH, CHECKPOINT EXPANDED CONCESSIONS PROGRAM ALONG WITH THOSE 17 GATES. 
          SIX OF THOSE ARE GONNA BE INTERNATIONAL CAPABLE TO ACCOMMODATE NARROW AND BODY AIRCRAFT FOR INTERNATIONAL RIVALS. 
          THEY'LL ALSO BE DESIGNED IN A MANNER TO BE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO, TO ACCEPT UP TO THREE WIDE BODIES SIMULTANEOUSLY. 
          IT WILL INCLUDE AN INTERNATIONAL RIVALS FACILITY FOR CUSTOMER AND BORDER PROTECTION SERVICES FOR INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS TO BE SCREENED ALONG WITH AN EXPANDED, EXPANDED BAGGAGE CLAIM AREA. 
          IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE A SECURE SITE CONNECTION TO EXISTING TERMINAL B TO ALLOW THOSE TWO TERMINALS TO, TO OPERATE AS A UNIT AND ALLOW PASSENGERS TO CHECK IN THROUGH ONE TERMINAL AND THEN CONNECT BETWEEN THE TWO WITHOUT HAVING TO EXIT AND GO BACK THROUGH SECURITY AGAIN. 
          ALONG WITH THAT WILL BE A NEW COMMERCIAL APRON TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE 17 GATES. 
          WITH THE HYDRANT FUELING SYSTEM, A NEW GROUND TRANSPORTATION CENTER THAT WILL PROVIDE UP TO 550 CLOSE IN HIGH VALUE PRIVATE VEHICLE PARKING POSITIONS RIGHT AT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE AIRPORT, ALONG WITH PROVIDING A PICKUP AND DROP OFF AREA FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND PICKUP AREA FOR RIDESHARE COMPANIES LIKE UBER AND LYFT. 
          TAKING ALL THOSE VEHICLES OFF OF THE, THE ROADWAY AND PLACING THEM IN THE GROUND TRANSPORTATION CENTER, REDUCING THE NUMBER OF TRIPS THAT ARE GONNA BE OCCURRING ON THAT CURBSIDE AND IMPROVING THE OVERALL LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR THE ROADWAY RIGHT AT THE FRONT DOOR. 
          THEY'RE IN BLUE. 
          WE'RE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL 18 REMAIN OVERNIGHT AIRCRAFT PARKING POSITIONS. 
          THIS IS CRITICAL FOR THE AIRLINES TO CONTINUE. 
          A, AN EFFICIENT OPERATION AT SAN ANTONIO NATIONAL AIRPORT ALLOWS 'EM TO STAGE AIRCRAFT OVERNIGHT, BE ABLE TO TOTE IN POSITION TO ACCOMMODATE AN EARLY MORNING DEPARTURE PUSH AND PROVIDE MORE EXPANDED SERVICE FOR THE CITIZENS, FOR THE FOR FOR OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          ALONG WITH THIS, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ROADWAY TODAY. 
          WE HAVE A SHARP CURVE. 
          AS YOU APPROACH TERMINAL A, WE'RE GONNA SOFTEN THAT GEOMETRY, REDUCE AND ELIMINATE THAT BOTTLENECK ALTOGETHER. 
          WE'LL BE LOOKING AT, UM, EXTENDING OR OVER A CURBSIDE AND STRETCHING THAT OVER THIS LONGER PHYSICAL LENGTH AND STRETCHING POINTS FOR CHECK-IN AND DROP OFF OVER THREE TERMINALS. 
          AGAIN, DIFFUSING THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THROUGH THE, THE CURB, AND ALLOWING THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT EXISTS TODAY WITH UPPER LEVEL ROADWAY TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL VEHICLE DEMANDS. 
          HERE IN PURPLE, YOU'RE GONNA SEE A SECURE SIDE CONNECTION BETWEEN TERMINAL B AND TERMINAL A. 
          AGAIN, SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT NOT EXIST TODAY. 
          THIS PROJECT ALLOWS ALL THREE TERMINALS TO OPERATE AS A SINGLE UNIT. 
          PASSENGERS CONNECT SEAMLESSLY ON THE SECURE SIDE WITHOUT HAVING TO EXIT AND GO THROUGH SECURITY AGAIN. 
          ALSO ALLOWING FLEXIBILITY FOR AIRLINES TO BE LOCATED ACROSS ALL GATES. 
          INCREASING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE WITH, UH, WITH AIRLINE PLACEMENT AND, AND, AND USE AND LEASE AGREEMENTS. 
          WE ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER UTILITIES. 
          THERE'S A LITTLE GREEN BOX UP THERE ON THE LEFT. 
          THAT'S THE CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT. 
          WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PROVIDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THIS EXPANSION. 
          SOME IMPROVEMENTS WILL COME WITH, WITH, WITH THAT, WITH THAT, THAT CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT, THE CUP AS WE CALL IT, TO ALLOW THE, THE TERMINALS, THE NEW TERMINAL TO BE DEVELOPED AND EXPANDED AND OPERATING IN A SEAMLESS MANNER AND NOT IMPACT THE EXISTING FACILITIES. 
          WE'RE ALSO MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ROADWAYS, ADJUSTING HOW THE OVERALL CIRCULATION ON THE GROUND CAN BE IMPROVED TO MAKE THIS A SEAMLESS AND, AND, AND EASY FLOW IN AND OUTTA THE AIRPORT. 
          ELIMINATING ANY, ANY ITS CURRENT TRAFFIC JAMS AND POTENTIAL BOTTLENECKS IN CONGESTION. 
          ONE THING AS WE GO THROUGH THESE PROJECTS, WE KNOW DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING A TERMINAL LIKE, LIKE THIS IS GONNA TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY THAT IS ADVANCING VERY RAPIDLY, VERY QUICKLY IN TODAY'S WORLD. 
          WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO RACE TO KEEP UP. 
          WE'RE CHANGING THE WAY WE LIVE. 
          WE WORK, WE TRAVEL, WE DESIGN, AND HOW WE BUILD. 
          WE UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          WE HEARD EARLIER THAT THIS PROJECT IS, IS SLATED TO OPEN UP IN Q ONE OR Q TWO OF 2028. 
          WE NOTE THAT TODAY. 
          THERE THERE'S THE, THAT THERE'S, I'M SORRY, THERE'S TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL EXIST IN ON OPENING DAY THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT TODAY. 
          WE'RE DESIGNING AND PLANNING FOR THE TERMINAL OF 2040 AND BEYOND. 
          WE NEED TO PROVIDE A FLEXIBLE TERMINAL THAT ALLOWS US TO GROW INTO THAT, TO PROVIDE THAT WONDERFUL AIRPORT THAT AGAIN, THE REGION TRULY DESERVES. 
          THANKS. 
          BUILDING ON, UH, WHAT KEITH DESCRIBED ABOUT HOW DO WE CREATE AN AIRPORT THAT IS READY FOR THE FUTURE. 
          ONE OF THE REALLY IMPORTANT PIECES THAT CAME THROUGH, UH, THE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PRO PLAN PROCESS WAS THAT THE AIRPORT NEEDED TO REALLY, UH, CREATE A SENSE OF PLACE OF SAN ANTONIO, REALLY NEEDED TO CREATE AN AUTHENTIC SAN ANTONIO EXPERIENCE WHERE A GREAT UNIQUE CITY AND OUR AIRPORT SHOULD BE REFLECTIVE OF THAT. 
          JESUS HAD MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED THOUSAND DIRECT INDIRECT, UH, FEEDBACK, 94 MEETINGS IN ALL 10 COUNCIL DISTRICTS AND OPEN HOUSES. 
          UH, WE MET WITH, WE MET WITH, UH, VARIOUS STAKEHOLDER 
          [00:35:01]
GROUPS AND, UM, UH, AIRPORT LEADERSHIP AND OTHER KIND OF MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO REALLY KIND OF CREATE THESE THEMES THAT WERE IMPORTANT THAT THE AIRPORT, UH, HAVE AS PART OF IT. 
          IF IT'S GONNA TRULY BE AN AUTHENTIC SAN ANTONIO EXPERIENCE. 
          OUR COMMUNITY IS A WARM AND FRIENDLY COMMUNITY. 
          THE AIRPORT NEEDS TO REFLECT THAT WARMTH OF WELCOMENESS WHERE MILITARY, MILITARY, CITY, U S A AND IT NEEDS TO WELCOME OUR MILITARY INTO THE AIRPORT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES SAN ANTONIO SO GREAT AND UNIQUE IS THE WAY THAT WE COULD MOVE TO THE FUTURE AND WE KIND OF HONOR OUR HISTORY, HOW WE MIX THE OLD WITH THE NEW, AND I THINK THE AIRPORT IS PART OF THAT EXPERIENCE, AND HOW DO WE SHAPE THAT? UM, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE CAPTURE KIND OF THE CULTURAL ASPECT OF OUR CITY AND HAVE THAT INFUSED INTO OUR AIRPORT EXPERIENCE. 
          UM, THIS IS A BUILDING SECTION. 
          WE'RE GONNA GET TO SOME RENDERINGS IN A MINUTE, BUT A BUILDING SECTION TO HELP ORIENT EVERYONE. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA START ON THE LEFT AT THE VERY TOP. 
          CREATING CLUB SPACES, UH, AS WELL AS KIND OF THE SECURE CORRIDOR OR THE STERILE CORRIDOR FOR, UM, VISITING, UH, FROM INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS. 
          UH, BUT ONE OF THE, IM, UH, GREAT PIECES ABOUT THE WAY THAT AIRPORT IS ORGANIZED IS THIS IDEA OF PASSENGER SEATING AREAS, CIRCULATION AND CONCESSIONS, CREATING, KIND OF MIXING, CREATING A COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE IN THE AIRPORT, HAVING ALL OF THOSE THINGS, NOT ISOLATING THEM, BUT INTEGRATING THEM TOGETHER INTO ONE EXPERIENCE. 
          UH, THE CENTER, YOU'LL SEE A COURTYARD. 
          WHAT IS MORE SAN ANTONIO THAN A COURTYARD? ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO AS SAN ANTONIANS IS WE CREATE REALLY GREAT OUTDOOR SPACES. 
          OUR RIVERWALK, OUR CITY IS KNOWN FOR AN OUTDOOR SPACE. 
          AND GIVING PEOPLE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THOSE INTERACTIONS IN THE AIRPORT ON THE SECURE SIDE IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THAT. 
          AND THEN WE MOVE TO THE OTHER SIDE, CREATING THAT PASSENGER SEATING AREA, CONCESSIONS AND CIRCULATION, CREATING THAT COMMUNITY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, UH, COURTYARD SPACE. 
          AS YOU APPROACH THE AIRPORT, THIS IS KIND OF A VIEW THAT YOU WOULD SEE. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE CONCEPTS FOR THIS IS TO MOVE THE TERMINAL BACK FROM THE CURB ABOUT 30 TO 50 FEET TO CREATE THIS, WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE LANDSCAPED EO. 
          THAT EO IS THIS IDEA OF REMINISCENT OF A RIVER WALK EXPERIENCE. 
          IT'S ALSO PART OF OUR SUSTAINABILITY STORY. 
          SAN ANTONIO AND WATER IS AN IMPORTANT STORY AND THAT PASSA WILL NOT ONLY BE A BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED KIND OF MICROCLIMATE EXPERIENCE FOR THE AIRPORT, BUT IT WOULD ALSO BE PART OF THE MACHINE OF THE BUILDING AND BEING PART OF THE, UH, STORMWATER MITIGATION STRATEGY FOR THE AIRPORT. 
          CREATING A KIND OF AN A, A REALLY GREAT ASSET THAT IS ALSO WORKING. 
          HERE'S A CLOSER IN VIEW OF THAT IDEA OF THE LANDSCAPE PER SALE. 
          ONE OF THE OTHER ASPECTS OF THAT IS IT ALLOWS US TO HAVE THESE REALLY EXUBERANT BRIDGES. 
          SAN ANTONIO HAS BEAUTIFUL BRIDGES. 
          WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES, WE HAVE GREAT HISTORIC BRIDGES, AND WE HAVE A HISTORY OF CRAFTING BEAUTIFUL BRIDGES AND HAVING THAT EXPERIENCE BE SOMETHING THAT WE ALSO EX EXTROVERT AND WELCOME VISITORS TO OUR CITY WITH. 
          AS WE MOVE TO THE INSIDE, WE GET THIS, THIS FIRST GLIMPSE OF OUR TICKET HALL, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY WANT TO STRESS ABOUT THIS IS THAT THIS SCALE AND THE ABILITY FOR THIS, THIS HALL TO BE A FLEXIBLE SPACE THAT CAN TAKE US INTO THE FUTURE, THAT WE CAN ADAPT AS TECHNOLOGY CHANGES AND AS THE WAY THAT PASSENGERS MOVE THROUGHOUT OUR AIRPORT CAN CHANGE AS WELL. 
          YOU START TO GET THIS GLIMPSE BACK OUT TO THE, OUT TO THE CURBSIDE AS WELL. 
          DRAWING THAT, THAT EO INSIDE, WE CONNECT THE INTERIOR AND THE EXTERIOR THROUGH THIS, THIS VIEW AND CREATE THIS EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE AS PEOPLE ENTER THE BUILDING FOR THE FIRST TIME. 
          AS PASSENGERS THEN CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESSES OF OF DEPARTURE, THEY'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THE SECURITY SCREENING CHECKPOINT, AND THIS IS THAT VIEW AS THEY EXIT THE SECURITY SCREENING CHECKPOINT. 
          SO AFTER YOU GET THROUGH THE PROCESS OF, OF SCREENING WITH THE T S A, THE TERMINAL OPENS UP IN FRONT OF YOU, AND WE GET THAT GLIMPSE BACK TO THIS COURTYARD THAT JOE WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. 
          THIS, THIS WELCOMING EXPERIENCE WHERE THAT WE HAVE A COMMUNITY SPACE THAT CAN, THAT CAN JUST REALLY EMBRACE PASSENGERS BEFORE THEY GO ON TO THEIR NEXT POINT OF THEIR JOURNEY. 
          AS YOU CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE TERMINAL, THOUGH, WE'VE GOT THESE AREAS THAT THIS IS LOOKING DOWN ONE OF THE CONCOURSES. 
          SO THIS IS WHERE ALL OF OUR GATE SEATING AREAS WILL BE, OUR CONCESSIONS WILL BE, AND IT'S REALLY ABOUT CREATING THAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY WITHIN 
          [00:40:01]
THE TERMINAL. 
          ONE OF THE OTHER GREAT ASPECTS THAT YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS PARTICULAR VIEW IS THIS STERILE CORRIDOR, STERILE CORRIDOR THAT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD JOE MENTION EARLIER. 
          UP ON THAT THIRD LEVEL, THOSE ARE THE INTERNATIONAL ARRIVAL PASSENGERS. 
          SO AS PASSENGERS ARRIVE INTO SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONALLY, THEY GET VIEWS BACK DOWN INTO THE TERMINAL AS WELL AS OUT TO THE AIR SIDE. 
          SO THEY'RE REALLY PART OF THIS, THIS AIRPORT COMMUNITY AS THEY GO THROUGH THE BUILDING AS WELL. 
          UM, WE ALSO WANNA STOP AND FOCUS A LITTLE BIT ON THE SIZE AND THE SEATING THAT WE START TO SEE IN THIS AREA. 
          UM, OUR NEXT SLIDE'S GONNA TALK THROUGH THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT WE'VE REALLY GOTTA FOCUS IN ON THE CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY SINCE YOUR EXISTING TERMINALS WERE BUILT. 
          AND ONE OF THOSE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SUFFICIENT GATE SEATING, WHICH WE START TO GET A GLIMPSE OF HERE TO, TO PUT THAT INSPECTOR INTO PERSPECTIVE. 
          ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS IMAGE, WE SEE EXISTING TERMINAL A GATE SEATING LOUNGES. 
          THIS IS A DOUBLE GATE SEATING LOUNGE. 
          IT'S ABOUT 3,900 SQUARE FEET. 
          IT WAS DESIGNED IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES FOR THE STANDARDS OF AIRCRAFT THAT WERE FLYING AT THAT TIME. 
          OUR AIRCRAFT HAVE CHANGED THE WAY THAT WE FLY CHANGES THOSE GATE SEATING AREAS ALSO HAVE TO CHANGE. 
          AND SO FOR THE NEW TERMINAL WE'RE LOOKING AT, AT GATE SEATING AREAS, THEY'RE ALMOST DOUBLE THE SIZE. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT 6,600 SQUARE FEET IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE AMOUNT OF PASSENGERS THAT NEED TO DWELL AND WAIT FOR THEIR AIRCRAFT TO DEPART THOSE INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS. 
          WE SHOWED THEM UP ON THAT STERILE CORRIDOR EARLIER WHERE THEY CAN LOOK BACK DOWN INTO THE BUILDING. 
          THEY'RE EVENTUALLY GONNA CIRCULATE DOWN TO THE GROUND FLOOR WHERE THE INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS HALL IS AT. 
          BUT ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO IS NOT HAVE IT FEEL LIKE THEY'RE, THE INTERNATIONAL BAG CLAIM WAS JUST THIS DARK AREA DOWN IN THE BASEMENT OF A BUILDING. 
          SO WE'VE LOCATED IT STRATEGICALLY UNDERNEATH THAT COURTYARD. 
          SO THEY HAVE THAT SAME EXPERIENCE. 
          THEY GET THAT DAYLIGHT FROM THAT OVERHEAD, UH, GLAZING TO CONNECT THEM TO SAN ANTONIO. 
          THIS IS THAT, THAT FIRST GLIMPSE THAT THEY GET AS AN INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS, AND WE REALLY WANT THEM TO EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DEPARTING PASSENGERS ARE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE ALONG THE WAY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, DOMESTIC ARRIVALS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO US. 
          SO THE DOMESTIC BAGGAGE CLAIM, THOSE PASSENGERS COME DOWN AND THEY'RE PART OF THAT POEO. 
          YOU CAN SEE IN THIS IMAGE THAT THE POEO IS OUTSIDE THE WINDOW HERE, BUT WE BROUGHT IT INSIDE THE BUILDING AS WELL SO THAT THERE'S THAT CONNECTIVITY OF THE LANDSCAPING, THE LIGHTING, ALL OF THOSE ASPECTS THAT MAKE THAT A STRONG COMMUNITY SPACE OR HERE IN THE, IN THE BAG CLAIM HALL AS WELL. 
          UM, WE REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WHAT'S GONNA GIVE YOU THAT, THAT SENSE OF PLACE AND DELIVER THIS VERY UNIQUE GATEWAY EXPERIENCE FOR ALL YOUR PASSENGERS, WHETHER THEY'RE DOMESTIC OR INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS. 
          AS JOE AND JOHN TOOK US TO A SENSE OF PLACE AND THE THE WONDERFUL RENDERINGS THAT WE WE HAVE HERE. 
          YOU START TO SEE SOME OF THE DEPTH AND BREADTH AND SCALE OF THE WHAT THE NEW TERMINAL IS INTENDED TO BE. 
          WE WANNA PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT AND COMPARE THAT TO WHAT OUR FACILITIES ARE TODAY. 
          SO IF WE START TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE FROM GATE COUNTS FOR TERMINAL A AND TERMINAL B, YOU KNOW, AND COMPARED TO WHAT THE NEW TERMINAL'S GONNA BE PROVIDING, THE NEW TERMINAL WOULD BE UP TO 17 NEW GATES. 
          JESUS WALKED US THROUGH THE, THE, THE 28 GATES THAT WILL BE PROJECTED FOR A AND B 17 NEW GATES FOR THE NEW TERMINAL, MEANT FOUR SIX OF THOSE WILL BE INTERNATIONAL CAPABLE FOR RABBO COMPARED TO THE FOUR THAT YOU HAVE TODAY. 
          AND THOSE FOUR BE FLEXIBLE TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO THREE SIMULTANEOUS WIDE BODY ARRIVALS SHOULD SCALE AND SQUARE FOOTAGE OVER 830,000 SQUARE FEET IN THE NEW TERMINAL. 
          MORE THIS IS LARGER THAN BOTH TERMINALS COMBINED. 
          THE CONCESSION PROGRAM WE'RE PRI CONCESSION PROGRAM OF 41,000 SQUARE FEET. 
          EXPANDED CONCESSION PROGRAM, EXPANDED AMEN AMENITIES, INCREASED REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES ALONG WITH INCREASED LEVEL OF SERVICE AND, AND, UH, OVERALL PASSENGER, UH, SERVICE. 
          OUR CLUB SPACE, WE'VE HEARD A LOT. 
          CLUB SPACE IS A BIG IMPORTANT FOR, FOR DIFFERENT AREAS OF, OF DIFFERENT TRAVELERS. 
          THERE ARE AIRLINES AND, AND PRIVATE DEVELOPERS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING THIS SPACE. 
          WE'RE WE'RE ACCOMMODATING UP TO 29,000 SQUARE FEET FOR THAT. 
          ALSO WITH THE GATE SEATING AREAS, 66,000 SQUARE FEET, JOHN MENTIONED THAT, THAT THE CRITERIA CHANGE TO MEET A MODERN AND FUTURE STANDARD. 
          WE'RE GONNA NEED TO NEED THAT 66,000 SQUARE FEET ALONG WITH THAT FEDERAL INSPECTION STATION FOR INTERNATIONAL RIVALS TWICE THE SIZE. 
          WHAT WE HAVE TODAY, ALONG WITH CURBSIDE IMPROVEMENTS, WE'RE SAYING WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE THE VEHICLE DEMAND AT THE CURB OVER A LONGER FRONTAGE, INCREASING OUR FRONTAGE UP TO 670, UH, SQUARE FEET OR 650, UH, 70 LINEAR FEET. 
          THIS WILL IMPROVE THE WAY THE VEHICLES MOVE AROUND THE CURB PROVIDE EASIER ACCESS INTO THE TERMINAL AND IMPROVE THE OPERATION FOR ALL THREE TERMINALS COMBINED. 
          SO IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, THIS, THIS PROGRAM, IT'S NOT A LIST OF A LIST OF PROJECTS. 
          THIS IS A COMPLIMENTARY AND COHESIVE PROGRAM THEY'RE PUTTING TOGETHER THAT CAN HELP LAUNCH THE AIRPORT OR TAKE US 
          [00:45:01]
INTO THAT AIRPORT OF THE FUTURE BEYOND THE 2040 HORIZON. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU CORGAN AND LAKE PLATO FOR, FOR YOUR HARD WORK AS THEY TALK ABOUT THE UP TO, UH, 17 GATE EXPANSION AND ALL THE WORK THAT'S THERE. 
          UM, AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD, WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT 24 MONTHS? UM, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNINGS. 
          AS YOU SEE, WE BEGIN TO COMPLETE THE ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNING WORK THAT GETS US TO 15%. 
          WE WILL NOW BEGIN TO MOVE IN TOWARDS THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORK THAT'S REQUIRED FOR US TO DO AND WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR, UH, FEDERAL STAKEHOLDER, THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TO OBTAIN THOSE APPROVALS. 
          AIRLINE DISCUSSIONS WILL CONTINUE AND COMMENCE, AND THAT WILL HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT 12, 14, 16 MONTHS TO PUT A SOLID AIRLINE USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT THAT IS SYMBIOTIC AND REFLECTIVE OF BOTH THE AIRLINES AND THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          WE WILL ALSO BEGIN TO, UH, START THE WORK IN MOVING TOWARDS THE NEW TERMINAL DESIGN AND GETTING THAT TO THE 30%, UM, AND START TO PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY WHAT'S GONNA GO INTO THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX, WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK PROCUREMENT AS WE START TO, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, AND THEN STARTING THE WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO AS IT RELATES TO PRE PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION FOR ALL THE ENABLING WORK THAT WILL HAPPEN TO CONTINUE TO FURTHER S ESTABLISH THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR US TO SUCCESSFULLY DELIVER AND EXECUTE ON THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX, ALL WHILST TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS THAT NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED. 
          AND THEN HERE ON THIS SLIDE, WE START TO SHOW YOU IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE VERTICAL WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, THE WHAT WE CALL IN THE AIRLINE IN, IN, IN THE AIRPORT INDUSTRY, THE LAND SIDE, UH, WORK THAT'S BEING DONE AS IT RELATES TO THE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES THAT HAPPEN BEFORE YOU GET, UH, ONTO A PLANE. 
          BUT WE REALLY WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE THAT WE'RE ALSO BEING VERY CONSIDERATE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING ON OUR AIRFIELD COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED WITH THE AIRPORT DISTRICT OFFICE AND THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION AND THE WORK THAT WE HAVE THAT'S ONGOING ONTO THE AIRFIELD AS WE START TO LOOK TOWARDS EXPANDING. 
          13, RIGHT, 31 LEFT TO 13,000 FEET, UH, I'M, I'M SORRY, TO 10,000 FEET. 
          SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE BEGIN TO MOVE IN THOSE DIRECTIONS. 
          UH, ALL THE WORK THAT WE HAVE TO DO, UM, ALL WHILST REMAINING SAFE IN ALL THE WORK THAT WE DO. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN. 
          YOU CAN SEE AS YOU LOOK AT THE GANTT CHART, ALL THE SQUARES OF WHAT HAPPENS IN 23 AND 24 IS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS OF GETTING TO THE ULTIMATE OPENING OF THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          WHAT HAPPENS NEXT AS WE START TO MOVE FORWARD? UH, WE MADE REFERENCE TO IT EARLIER. 
          UM, WE HAVE AN ON-CALL MARKETING, UH, MEMO THAT WE WILL BE SENDING TO YOU FOR, UH, SOME ON-CALL MARKETING AND ADVERTISING WORK THAT NEEDS TO, UH, CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. 
          WE NEED TO BRAND THE WORK THAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING TO CONTINUE TO SHOWCASE AND TELL EVERYONE OF THE WORK THAT WE HAVE THAT'S ONGOING HERE IN SAN ANTONIO TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD, WE'RE GROWING, WE'RE EXPANDING. 
          IT'S A DIFFERENT SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          ALONG WITH THAT, UH, WE WILL RE BRING INTO YOU OUR MASTER ARCHITECT. 
          SO YOU'LL HAVE AN A MEMO AS WELL WITH REGARDS TO OUR MASTER ARCHITECT AND THE SELECTIONS THAT WE'VE MADE WITH THAT, UH, FOR THE NEXT B SESSIONS, AS I CLOSED OUT WITH THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AIRFIELD, WE'LL BRING YOU AN AIRFIELD PROGRAM UPDATE. 
          WE'LL ALSO BRING YOU A PRES SOLICITATION BRIEFING FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR THE NEW TERMINAL FACILITY. 
          WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON, ON GETTING THAT, UH, TOGETHER. 
          AND THEN WE'LL BRING YOU A ELICITATION BRIEFING FOR THE TERMINAL, A GROUND LOADING FACILITY. 
          WE'LL BE WORKING VERY AGGRESSIVELY WITH THAT. 
          I REMIND YOU THAT'S ONE OF THE SUBMISSIONS THAT WE PUT INTO THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW IN AN ATTEMPT TO TRY AND GET FUNDING FOR THAT, UH, AND SUPPORT THAT WE CAN GET. 
          SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING, UH, SOON ABOUT, UH, THAT, UH, B I L SUBMITTAL. 
          THAT COMPLETES OUR PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING TO US TODAY, AND WE'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO, UH, THE TEAM. 
          JESUS, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, ERIC. 
          UH, GREAT WORK. 
          UH, NEEDLESS TO SAY, UH, I THINK WE'RE ALL VERY EXCITED ABOUT ALL THIS AND UH, THE BEST PART IS THAT ALL OF THIS CAN AND WILL BE DONE ON THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT OF SS A T. 
          UM, I KNOW IT'S COME UP IN OUR CONVERSATIONS, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL ASK, WELL, WHERE, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE RUNWAYS? THOSE ARE GONNA BE AN ADDITIONAL PHASES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PARALLEL, UH, SECOND, UH, SECOND PARALLEL RUNWAY, ET CETERA. 
          SO THERE'S MORE TO THIS THAN JUST THE TERMINAL FACILITY, BUT THE TERMINAL FACILITY OBVIOUSLY IS WHERE MOST PEOPLE WILL EXPERIENCE THE CHANGE WITH REGARD TO SS A T. 
          SO I'D LIKE TO REALLY QUICK, I THINK THERE ARE TWO SLIDES THAT ARE NOT THE RENDERINGS THAT, UH, AND THE RENDERINGS OBVIOUSLY ARE VERY EXCITING. 
          BUT 
          [00:50:01]
THE TWO SLIDES THAT I THINK ARE MOST EXPLICITLY SHOW FOLKS WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS HERE BETWEEN WHAT WE EXPERIENCE IN SS A T NOW AND WHAT THEY WILL EXPERIENCE IN THIS NEW TERMINAL FACILITY. 
          UH, IF WE CAN PUT UP BRIEFLY, SLIDE 17, AND THEN I'LL GO TO THAT SLIDE AS WELL. 
          20. 
          SO CAN YOU JUST ORIENT US AGAIN, JESUS, TO THIS, JESUS TO THIS SLIDE. 
          THIS IS A, THIS IS A PRETTY STANDARD WAITING AREA FOR, UH, OUR CURRENT AIRPORT FACILITY TERMINAL A. 
          IT IS, UM, I'LL START WITH THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN THAT REPRESENTS THE DUAL LOADING. 
          WHEN I, WHEN I REFERENCE A DUAL LOADING, IT MEANS WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE SECURITY CHECKPOINT TODAY, UH, AT TERMINAL A AND YOU GET INTO WHAT WE CALL POST SECURITY AND YOU'RE READY TO BOARD YOUR GATE, YOU ARE GONNA GO SIT IN A HO A GATE HOLD ROOM AREA, WHICH IS RIGHT PRIOR TO YOU BOARDING. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, EACH OF THOSE HOLD ROOMS ARE ESTIMATED IN TERMINAL A AT 3,900 SQUARE FEET. 
          UM, CORRIGAN REFERENCED TO IT SLIGHTLY, BUT AS YOU LOOK AT THE SIZE OF AIRCRAFT, WHEN YOU START TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHETHER IT'S, YOU KNOW, RULE JETS THAT HAVE OPERATED OUTTA HERE, NARROW BODIES THAT WERE BUILT, AND I COULD GO ON AND ON AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT DIFFERENT SIZES OF AIRCRAFT AND NOW TODAY AS WE INTRODUCE GOING INTO THE FUTURE OF WIDE BODY AIRCRAFT TO BE ABLE TO REACH ADDITIONAL INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS. 
          YEAH, AS WE SHOW YOU THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX AT 6,600 FEET, WHETHER WE'RE TALKING TODAY OPERATING A HUNDRED TO 150 PASSENGERS OF WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED STANDARD TO IN THE 1980S, IN 2023, THE NEW IATA DESIGN STANDARDS TAKE YOU TO ENSURE THAT YOU CAN ACCOMMODATE AIRCRAFT AS LARGE AS AN A THREE 80 AIRCRAFT DESIGN GROUP SIX, WHICH COULD NOT, THAT'S AS LARGE AS IT GETS IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY. 
          WE WILL OPERATE AIRCRAFT DESIGN GROUP FIVE AIRCRAFT THAT COULD HOLD ANYWHERE FROM 200 TO 350 PASSENGERS. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S, WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE AMPLE SPACE IN THOSE GATE ROOM HOLD ROOM AREAS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          COULD YOU DO THAT AT TURMO A TODAY? YOU PROBABLY COULD, BUT YOU'D HAVE PEOPLE SITTING ALL ALONG THE FLOORS AS WE DO SOMETIMES TODAY. 
          YEAH, AND THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT I WANTED TO MAKE. 
          I MEAN, ON THE LEFT SIDE, THOSE WERE FACILITIES THAT WERE BUILT BEFORE POST NINE 11 T S A. 
          WE ALL HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING TO GO TO THE AIRPORT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, A LOT EARLIER, AND THEN WE GO THROUGH TERMINAL A OR TERMINAL B AND PEOPLE ARE SPILLING OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE, UH, OF THE, UH, HALLWAYS. 
          IT'S JUST A CRAMPED EXPERIENCE. 
          AND THEN IT ALSO IMPACTS THE SPACE THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR RETAIL AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT WE WANT TO EXPERIENCE OR THAT YOU, YOU EXPECT FROM A, A MODERN AIRPORT. 
          SO HUGE INCREASE IN JUST THE, THE HOLD AREAS AND HOW A PASSENGER GOING THROUGH OUR AIRPORT WILL, WILL EXPERIENCE IT. 
          THE NEXT SLIDE I WANT TO GO TO IS SLIDE 20, AND IF THIS DOESN'T DRAMATICALLY SHOW WHAT'S HAPPENING JUST FROM A OVERALL FACILITY STANDPOINT, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL, BUT AGAIN, GOING BEYOND THE GATE COUNT INTO THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE, BOTH TERMINAL A AND TERMINAL B COMBINED ARE LESS THAN WHAT THE NEW TERMINAL IS ESTIMATED TO BE. 
          ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA POINT OUT ABOUT THIS? MAYBE THE FEDERAL INSPECTION AS WELL? JESUS. 
          YEAH. 
          THE, THE, THE, THE BIGGEST FACTORS TO, TO YOUR, TO YOUR MENTIONING MAYOR IS THE ABILITY TO HAVE GROWTH CAPACITY. 
          WHEREAS TODAY AND HISTORICALLY THAT HAS NOT BEEN PRESENT. 
          SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, YOU HEARD CORGAN REFERENCE, WE'RE PLANNING OUR PLANNING ACTIVITY LEVELS AND THE TECHNICAL DATA THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED. 
          WE'RE NOT PLANNING FOR JUST 20 25, 20 30. 
          WE'RE PLANNING TO 2040 TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE CAPACITY FOR GROWTH AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT THAT REFLECTS ON THAT AIR SIDE. 
          ON THE BUILDING PIECE, I CAN'T BE MORE PROUD OF THE CONCESSION SPACE. 
          UM, WE OFTEN HEAR ABOUT, I WANT TO FEEL THAT LOCAL SAN ANTONIO FLARE. 
          WELL, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE IN TERMINAL A IN TERMINAL B, AND YOU LOOK AT THE AVAILABLE CONCESSION SPACE THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE IN THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A TRUE SENSE OF PLACE OF WHAT YOU FEEL WHEN YOU COME TO SAN ANTONIO AS WE TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT MINORITY PARTICIPATION AND THOSE EFFORTS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO US TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE, THAT LARGE AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE SPACE VERSUS TODAY. 
          AND I KNOW I JOKE ABOUT IT A LOT, I'LL PROBABLY GET IN TROUBLE FOR SAYING THIS, BUT WE TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHERE CLOSETS ARE SO WE CAN TRY AND TURN THAT INTO A CONCESSION SPACE BECAUSE 
          [00:55:01]
WE HAVE TO TRY AND MAKE AS MUCH NON AERONAUTICAL REVENUE AS WE CAN MAKE. 
          SO THAT IS AN ENORMOUS FACTOR AS WELL. 
          THE GATE SEATING A AREAS IS VERY IMPORTANT. 
          THE CLUB SPACE TODAY, A LITTLE OVER, YOU KNOW, 2,900, UH, 2300 SQUARE FOOT IN CLUB SPACE, AND HAVING THE, A, A, UH, ABILITY TO PUT IN, UH, A CENTURION LOUNGE OR FOR, UH, PREMIUM PASSENGERS THAT, YOU KNOW, OPERATE OUT OF DIFFERENT AIRLINES OF, OFF OF OUR SIGNATORY AIRLINES, AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE MORE CLUB SPACE FOR THEM TO SIT DOWN AND ENJOY. 
          HERE AT SAN ANTONIO. 
          IT REALLY ELEVATES THE OVERALL PASSENGER EXPERIENCE FOR NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, ULTRA LOW COST CARRIERS, BUT AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR SIGNATORY CARRIERS AS WELL. 
          PLEASE, MAYOR, IF I COULD STEP IN, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ANOTHER POINT. 
          COULD YOU GO TO THE OVERVIEW SLIDE BEFORE THOSE GO BACK, CLIFF, IF YOU WOULD, TO, BEFORE ALL THE RENDERINGS? UM, ONE THING THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY OBVIOUS IS THAT THE NEW TERMINAL AND TERMINAL B WILL ESSENTIALLY BE CONNECTED. 
          IT'LL BE ONE SECURITY CHECKPOINT THROUGH ALL OF THAT. 
          SO GO BACK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. 
           SO IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEW TERMINAL NOW, IT'S CONNECTED TO B AND IT'LL BE ONE ESSENTIALLY CENTER OF THE HOUSE. 
          SO YOU WALK IN AND GO THROUGH SECURITY THERE IN THE SORT OF GRAND HALL, IN THE NEW TERMINAL AND ALL OF THAT. 
          SO THE SQUARE FOOTAGE YOU WERE LOOKING AT JUST FOR THE NEW TERMINAL, REALLY, YOU ADD TO TERMINAL B. 
          AND THEN, UH, I KNOW KEITH POINTED IT OUT, BUT JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU SEE IT THERE, THAT PURPLE, UH, CONNECTOR BEHIND SECURITY THEN TIES IT ALL TO A, WE'LL STILL BE USING PORTIONS OF A NO DOUBT, UH, ONCE THE NEW TERMINAL'S ONLINE, BUT IT REALLY KIND OF EXPANDS THE ENTIRE, UH, FOOTPRINT OF THE TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND, AND ON THAT SLIDE, YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT GREEN FACILITY IS OUR GROUND TERMINAL. 
          SO CONNECTIVITY FOR OUR TRANSIT SYSTEM, CONNECTIVITY FOR REGIONAL BUS CARRIERS, THINGS LIKE THAT, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO PRIORITIZE IN THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT, UH, SO THAT WE ARE NOT JUST AN AIR SERVICE FACILITY, WE'RE A MULTIMODAL SERVICE FACILITY. 
          YOU, YOU WANT TO YEAH. 
          THE NEW ENTRANCE. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          IN AN EFFORT OF TRYING TO BE EFFICIENT. 
          SO THERE, THERE'S SO MUCH THAT THAT'S TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION HERE AS YOU LOOK AT THE ROADWAY FRAMEWORK AS YOU'RE ENTERING INTO THE FACILITY, UM, TODAY. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, CORGAN DIDN'T, UH, DIDN'T HIGHLIGHT IT ENTIRELY, BUT AS YOU LOOK AT THE DARK BLUE BOX THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH IS, UM, THE SOLAR PANELS THAT SIT OVER OUR GARAGE TODAY, IF YOU LOOK JUST TO THE LEFT OF THAT, UH, OF THAT GREEN, UH, OF THAT DARK BLUE BOX, WE WILL NOW ALLOW PASSENGERS TO BEGIN TO ENTER INTO THE PARKING FACILITIES THROUGH THERE. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA OPEN UP THE GROUND TRANSPORTATION CENTER THAT'S GONNA TAKE ALL OF OUR COM. 
          UH, ALL OF OUR COMMERCIAL VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AS IT RELATES TO TNCS, TAXIS, VIA ALL OF THOSE OPERATORS, WILL NO LONGER MERGE AND MINGLE AS YOU COME INTO THE RIGHT SIDE TO ENTER INTO ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES, WHICH REALLY SEPARATES A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC. 
          IT'S JUST A REALLY SMART WAY OF DOING BUSINESS TO ALLOW PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PARK AND WANT TO GET INTO OUR VALET OR WANT TO GET INTO SHORT-TERM OR LONG-TERM PAR PARKING CAN GO DIRECTLY IN THERE AND GET INTO THAT. 
          AND THEN ANYONE WHO'S PICKING UP OR DROPPING OFF ON ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES WILL BE ABLE TO GO. 
          WE ALSO HAVE A VERY THOROUGH, UM, RENDERING THAT WE CAN SHOW YOU. 
          AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IF YOU GO ON SOME OF OUR BACKUP SLIDES, I THINK IT'S, IT'S GOOD THAT WE SHOW YOU THIS. 
          YOU, YOU CAN GO, UH, TO SLIDE, I THINK IT'S 29, UH, 28 GO UP. 
          1 28. 
          ONE MORE. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          SO THAT'S A RENDERING THAT SHOWS YOU OF THE INTERSECTION OF WHAT WE HAVE AT AIRPORT BOULEVARD AND D HOWARD, UH, ROADWAY. 
          SO TODAY THERE'S A LIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION. 
          THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT BETTER, AND IF YOU HIT THE BUTTON, IT SHOULD DO A SIMULATION OF THAT. 
          NO, THERE IT GOES. 
          SO THAT SHOWS YOU THE CONFLICTION THAT OCCURS TODAY, WHERE YOU HAVE TO STOP AND GO AT THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, AND THEN THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS. 
          WHEN YOU HIT THAT, IT'LL SHOW YOU THAT. 
          NOW WE ARE DE CONFLICTING THAT AND ALLOWING PASSENGERS TO ENTER WITH SMOOTH AND EASE INTO THE PARKING FACILITIES INTO THAT GROUND TRANSPORTATION CENTER. 
          SO WE TAKE THAT DECONFLICTION AWAY. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU. 
          HEY, SUSAN LA LAST THING I WANTED TO MENTION. 
          IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO SLIDE 20, UM, CLIFF AND TH THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE AD NAUSEUM HEAR ABOUT AND IT'S IMPORTANT, AND THAT IS, WHY CAN'T WE FLY WHERE WE WANT TO FLY? WHY, WHY IS OUR CONNECTIVITY WHAT IT IS, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL? WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT 
          [01:00:01]
HOW THE FACILITIES WILL NOW IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO CONNECT AROUND THE WORLD HERE, WE HAVE NOW IN THE NEW TERMINAL WIDE BODY CAPABILITIES, UH, WE KNOW THAT THE TERMINAL EXPANSION IS GONNA ALLOW FOR, UH, THE CLUB SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE KINDS OF INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO THIS IS TRULY A GAME CHANGER. 
          UH, EVERYTHING CHANGES TODAY, UH, AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS PLAN. 
          UM, AND SO I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES NOW, BUT I DID GET ONE QUESTION THIS MORNING THAT I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS, AT LEAST AT A HIGH LEVEL, JESUS, WHICH IS, THIS IS A FACILITY THAT'S GOING TO BE BUILT IN THE CURRENT FACILITY, SO THERE'S GONNA BE CONSTRUCTION DISRUPTION. 
          HOW IS YOUR TIMELINE AND PHASING OF THE PLAN, UH, GOING TO ENSURE THAT PASSENGERS AS THEY MOVE THROUGH OUR AIRPORT AND USE OUR AIRPORT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, SHOVELS IN THE GROUND 24 ALL THE WAY TO THE OPENING IN 28 ARE GONNA BE IMPACTED? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO MITIGATE THE CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS WHILE S A T IS STILL OPEN? CERTAINLY, YOU CAN GO TO THE VERY NEXT SLIDE THERE, AND AS YOU LOOK AT THE HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE ENTIRE COMPLEX, UM, ONE OF THE BENEFITS THAT WE HAVE, AND IT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I KNOW THAT, UH, THE A S D C TEAM AND ALL THE WORK THAT, UH, JOHN DIXON AND THAT TEAM WERE WORKING ON, ON ANSWERING, WILL IT FIT TO YOUR QUESTION? UH, MAYOR, UM, THERE WAS SOME REALLY SMART PEOPLE BEFORE ME THAT BUILT THE ACTUAL ROADWAY THAT EXTENDS. 
          SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT ENTIRE YELLOW PARCEL THAT YOU SEE THERE, IT'S ON A GREEN SPACE. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO BEGIN THE CONSTRUCTION ON THAT AND DO THAT WITH MINIMUM IMPACT TO A AND B, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THAT WORK AND STILL OPERATE OUT OF TERMINAL A AND TERMINAL B, WHICH IS WHY WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO ADD CAPACITY INTO A AND B S SUCH AS WE HAVE ADDING THE THREE GATES IN THE GROUND LOADING FACILITY, NOT TO WITHSTAND THERE WILL BE SOME CONSTRUCTION DIFFICULTIES. 
          UM, I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE AND TELL YOU IT'S GOING TO BE PERFECT 'CAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE, BUT WE'RE GONNA DO WORK ON THE ROADWAYS. 
          WE WILL HAVE ADVANCED PARKING PLANS. 
          WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT WE COMMUNICATE, UH, WITH ALL OF OUR PASSENGERS, WHETHER THAT BE IN SOCIAL MEDIA OR HOW WHATEVER MEDIUM WE DECIDE TO UTILIZE, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE IN ADVANCE COMMUNICATE TO ALL THE PASSENGERS AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION PAINS THAT WE'RE GOING TO EXHIBIT AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ROCHE GARCIA. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU, JESUS. 
          AND TO ALL THE TEAM HERE FOR PRESENTING. 
          UM, IT, JOHN DIXON WROTE AN OPINION PIECE, UH, IN TODAY'S NEWSPAPER. 
          AND SO HE, UM, TALKED ABOUT HOW THE AIRPORT COULD BE AN ECONOMIC, UH, DEVELOPMENT ENGINE. 
          AND HE REFERENCED SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY COOL, AND I'LL PROBABLY START USING IT. 
          I'LL, I'LL STEAL IT FROM JOHN, BUT HE TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS COULD BE THE CENTERPIECE OF AN ECONOMIC REBIRTH. 
          AND SO I WANTED TO TAKE, UH, TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK JOHN FOR EVERYTHING THAT HE'S DONE TO GET US HERE OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS. 
          UM, AND SO HE GIVES A LOT OF TIME THAT HE DOESN'T NEED TO, UH, SOMETIMES, RIGHT? THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HE COULD BE DOING. 
          HE COULD BE BUYING A NEW BUSINESS, AND SO HE, UM, DECIDES TO SPEND SOME TIME. 
          SO, SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THAT. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE THE SENSE OF SELF. 
          I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, WE ARE COMPASSIONATE CITY, U S A AND WITH THAT IN MIND, UM, THIS MORNING, AND YOU ALL KNOW I TEACH AT A SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, AND THIS MORNING I GAVE MY STUDENTS AN ASSIGNMENT SPECIFICALLY, AND IT WAS TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT THE AIRPORT, UM, OF THE FUTURE, RIGHT? AND SO WHAT, WHAT THINGS WOULD BE NEEDED? AND I SPECIFICALLY CHALLENGED THEM TO THINK OF FOLKS WITH DIFFERENT ABILITIES. 
          AND SO, UM, THERE'S 17 AIRPORTS. 
          YOU NOTICE THAT IN THE US THAT HAVE INSTALLED, UH, INSTALLED THE ADULT CHANGING STATIONS. 
          AND I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS INTO BEING ULTRA INCLUSIVE. 
          AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A PRESS CONFERENCE ON MONDAY. 
          UM, BUT ERIC WALSH TOLD ME THAT I COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING I WANTED TODAY. 
          UM, AND SO WITH THAT IN MIND, UM, THE ATLANTA, UH, HARTFIELD JACKSON INTERNATIONAL, OH, SORRY. 
          NO, ACTUALLY IT WAS THE, UH, BALTIMORE WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MARSHALL. 
          UM, THEY HAVE THREE, UH, FAMILY RESTROOMS THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH THESE ADULT CHANGING STATIONS. 
          WE DID SOME RESEARCH THIS MORNING. 
          IT WAS VERY, VERY SMALL RESEARCH. 
          UM, BUT, UM, AT AN AVERAGE COST OF LIKE $3,900, THE ONES THAT THAT MOVE UP AND DOWN, THE PROBLEM IS THE SPACE, RIGHT? SO HOW ARE YOU ALL BUILDING THAT, UM, INTO THIS, AT THAT AIRPORT? THERE'S ONE OUTSIDE OF SECURITY, ONE INSIDE SECURITY GATE, AND THEN, UM, ONE IN ANOTHER CONCOURSE. 
          BUT THEN THE PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT EVEN HAS A SENSORY ROOM FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM. 
          WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM IN SAN ANTONIO, AND PLUS THE ONES THAT ARE TRAVELING. 
          CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW YOU'RE BUILDING THAT ELEMENT OF ULTRA ACCESSIBILITY INTO OUR FUTURE AIRPORT? YES, MA'AM. 
          UH, THANK YOU COUNCILMAN. 
          UH, WITH REGARDS TO, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT PHASE OF THE DESIGN WORK THAT WE WILL BE DOING. 
          I WILL TELL YOU, IT GOES BACK TO THE REFERENCE THAT THE 
          [01:05:01]
MAYOR MADE ON THE SPACE CONSTRAINTS THAT WE HAVE IN TERM A AND TERM B TODAY. 
          SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND PROVIDE THIS AMPLE SPACE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THESE THINGS, UM, WE WILL BE VERY CONSIDERATE OF THAT. 
          THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS I'VE EVEN HEARD. 
          THERE'S YOGA ROOMS, UH, THERE'S GAMING SPACES THAT ARE NOW BEING PUT INTO AIRPORTS. 
          SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT, UH, ATTRACTIONS THAT, THAT WE CAN PUT IN, UH, FOR ALL PASSENGERS THAT ARE COMING FORWARD. 
          IT'S A MATTER OF US SITTING DOWN AND CONTINUING TO LISTEN TO WHAT, UH, THE PASSENGER WANTS AND WHAT THE PASSENGER NEEDS, AND INCORPORATING THAT INTO THE DESIGN WORK AS WE GO FORWARD. 
          YOU SAW A SMALL REFERENCE TO THE DESIGN STANDARDS THAT WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE CONTINUE TO DO. 
          AND IT'S A CONST, IT'S A CONTINUOUS WORK IN PROGRESS, IMPROVING THOSE DESIGN DESIGN STANDARDS TO INCORPORATE THE ELEMENTS THAT YOU'RE REFERENCING. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          HAS, SUSAN, I NOTICED ON SLIDE 13, YOU HAVE SOMEONE, FOR INSTANCE, WITH A WHEELCHAIR. 
          UM, YES, MA'AM. 
          THAT HAPPENS TO BE NO RAMP IN, IN THE PICTURE, BUT I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE RAMPS, RIGHT? AND SO I'M JUST TRYING TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE SAY, WELL, WE'RE ULTRA INCLUSIVE, WHAT IS IT THAT WE REALLY ARE DOING? AND, UM, IN FULL DISCLOSURE, THIS MORNING'S CLASS WAS AN ETHNOGRAPHY IN THE MARKETPLACE CLASS THAT I'M TEACHING. 
          AND SO IT IS ABOUT GOING AND TALKING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS AND GOING AND TALKING TO THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE USING THIS AND THE CARETAKERS. 
          SO LIKE COMPANION CARE ROOMS, UM, WOULD BE CRITICAL. 
          IF WE LOOK AT, UM, SAN ANTONIO, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT RETIRE IN SAN ANTONIO, RIGHT? AS THEY, UM, GET A LITTLE BIT OLDER AND THEY TRAVEL, LIKE, WHAT, WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR THEM? SO I WANTED TO JUST MAKE, MAKE SURE THAT I VOICED THAT. 
          AND THEN SECONDLY, UM, UH, SPEAKING TO THE SENSE OF, OF SELF, UM, VISIT SAN ANTONIO WAS ABLE TO DO A THREE MINUTE VERSION OF THE SAGA THAT'S PROJECTED OVER HERE AT MAINE. 
          UM, PASA EVERY, OR, YOU KNOW, TUESDAY NIGHTS AND SATURDAY NIGHTS, OR WHENEVER IT IS. 
          AND SO IT WAS REALLY A, A GOOD GLIMPSE RIGHT AT, AND YOU WERE THERE. 
          SO I JUST THOUGHT, OH MY GOSH, IT WOULD BE SO COOL TO HAVE THIS PLAYING WHILE PEOPLE ARE WAIT, WAITING FOR THEIR BAGGAGE. 
          SO, UM, JESUS, DO YOU HAVE ANY, ANY, UM, INDICATION AS TO WHAT WILL BE, UH, IN THE AREA WHERE YOU WAIT FOR YOUR BAGGAGE? YES. 
          SO WE TALK ABOUT THAT QUITE OFTEN, LEE, AS A TEAM. 
          AND IT REALLY IS ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER, ALL OF US, UM, AS I'VE, I'VE MADE A NUMBER OF REFERENCES TO THAT. 
          UM, WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER. 
          WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO BEING ONE OF THE, BEING THE NUMBER ONE TRAVEL AND TOURIST DESTINATION IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          AND WE WANT THAT TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND GROW. 
          HOW DO WE DO THAT THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH, YOU KNOW, JENNA AND GREATER SA OR WHETHER THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE WITH MARK AND V SS A AND CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER ON ALL THAT WE ARE DOING TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND AND KNOW AND SEE AND GET TO FEEL AND EXPERIENCE WHAT SAN ANTONIO REALLY IS. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT WELCOMING AREA. 
          AND SO, LIKE THE BRIDGES THAT YOU ALL HAVE, UM, DOESN'T, SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT I THINK IS ICONIC ABOUT OUR, OUR RIVER WALK ARE THE BRIDGES, RIGHT? AND PEOPLE TAKE PICTURES AT THESE BRIDGES, LIKE, HOW COULD WE REPLICATE THOSE BRIDGES, RIGHT? AND CONNECT THEM TO THE EXPERIENCE THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA FEEL WHEN THEY'RE, UM, DOWNTOWN. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF ANOTHER ONE. 
          SO I'D LOVE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF CREATIVE DESIGN ELEMENTS ARE GONNA BE, UM, OR SPECIFICALLY CULTURALLY, UM, CREATIVE DESIGN ELEMENTS, RIGHT? AND SO, UM, I KNOW THAT'S LATER ON. 
          UM, I JUST WANTED TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S GONNA BE PEOPLE THAT ARE THINKING ABOUT THAT. 
          LITERALLY BRIDGE IT, IT, IT, IT IS, IT IS A PRODUCT OF OUR DESIGN STANDARDS. 
          PERFECT. 
          I CAN TELL YOU THE, OUR HISTORY IS A BIG PIECE OF THAT. 
          OUR CULTURE IS A BIG PIECE OF THAT. 
          NATURE IS A BIG PIECE OF THAT. 
          AND ALSO, MILITARY IS A BIG PIECE OF THAT PERFECT. 
          BECAUSE THAT'S WHO WE ARE. 
          AND WE WANT TO HAVE THAT REPRESENTATION AND PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT WHEN THEY'VE ARRIVED HERE, THAT THEY'RE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          BY THE WAY, I LOVE THAT YOU ALL HAVE PICTURES OF EVERYBODY WHO SERVED IN THE MILITARY THAT ARE AIRPORT EMPLOYEES OF THE 400 AIRPORT EMPLOYEES, UH, THE VETERANS. 
          THAT'S REALLY COOL TO, TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT WHEN YOU GET, UH, GET HERE FROM MILITARY CITY. 
          S A, UM, SPEAKING OF WHEN WE GET, UH, WHEN WE PARK, OR WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO, TO GET OFF OF 2 81 ONTO, I THINK IT'S D HOWARD. 
          UM, AND YOU KIND OF HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY LEFT TO CONNECT TO ONE OF THE PARKING SPACES. 
          ARE Y'ALL DOING ANYTHING TO REDESIGN THAT? LIKE IT'S A REALLY CLOSE, I HAVE TO, I FEEL LIKE I'M GONNA CUT SOMEONE OFF IF I HAVE TO, YOU KNOW? YEAH. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE DECONFLICTION THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. 
          OKAY. 
          ON THE ROADWAY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. 
          ERIC'S LAUGHING AT ME 'CAUSE I'VE ADMITTED THAT I CUT HIM OFF OR SOMETHING. 
          , I THOUGHT YOU SAID JUST ONE . 
          I KNOW. 
          YEAH, I KNOW. 
          HE, HEY, HE, HE SAID I COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING, FOR ANYTHING. 
          SO I HAVE A LOG LIST. 
          I'LL SEND IT TO YOU LATER. 
          I'M JUST KIDDING. 
          UM, NO, BUT THEN ALSO, UM, AND BY THE WAY, UH, I DIDN'T SEE ANY WOMEN TODAY PRESENTING. 
          DO WE HAVE WOMEN ALSO INVOLVED IN THE, UM, I'M, I'M ASSUMING THERE'S SOME ON THE COMMITTEE? UH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          OKAY. 
          THERE'S KAREN ELLIS, WHO'S RIGHT BEHIND ME, WHO OVERSEES ALL OF THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE. 
          PERFECT. 
          JENNIFER MILLS, CHER, WHO'S RIGHT BEHIND ME, WHO DOES 
          [01:10:01]
ALL OF OUR, THERE WE GO. 
          CHIEF COMMERCIAL, UH, WORK. 
          AND ALSO YOU HAVE DEBBIE, WHO'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. 
          DEBBIE IS AN ADMINISTRATOR WITH OUR P D C. 
          SHE SIT SITS RIGHT THERE. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          I ALWAYS HAVE TO ASK THE WOMAN QUESTIONS, SO THANK YOU. 
          GOOD. 
          YOU GOOD? YOU ALL RIGHT? THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          YOU BET. 
          CONGRATULATIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER RO TO GARCIA, COUNCIL MEMBER KIO. 
          HDA. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU JESUS. 
          AND YOUR TEAM. 
          UM, JEFF, OF COURSE. 
          AND, UM, CORGAN, LAKE, PLATO, KEITH, JOHN, AND, UH, JOE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK HERE TODAY. 
          I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. 
          I'M TRYING TO CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT, SO I DON'T LOOK LIKE A CRAZY PERSON, BUT I'M EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. 
          THANKS ALSO TO JOHN DIXON FOR THE, AND THE COMMITTEE AND HIS COMMITTEE FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE. 
          UM, AS I'VE MENTIONED, I AM INCREDIBLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AS I LOOK OVER AT, AT THE RENDERINGS, UM, THAT YOU PUT UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROOM. 
          UM, THE, THE MODERN FEEL OF IT IS, IS VERY EXCITING. 
          THE, JUST THE AESTHETIC OF IT, I THINK, UM, IS GONNA BE GREAT FOR THE CITY, BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST THE WAY IT'S GONNA LOOK. 
          UH, IT'S A FUNCTIONALITY. 
          IT'S SO MUCH THAT, THAT Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY PUT INTO, UH, THE WORK. 
          AND ALSO, I WANNA COMMEND YOU FOR THE EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH THAT YOU DID. 
          UM, A HUNDRED THOUSAND PLUS RESPONSES. 
          I, I WOULD LOVE TO GET, GET THAT KIND OF RESPONSE FOR, UM, FOR QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE OF MY COMMUNITY. 
          SO I, I DO REALLY APPRECIATE THAT, THAT WORK THAT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE UP FRONT TO MAKE SURE THAT COMMUNITY HAS BEEN INVOLVED. 
          UM, THE, THE PROJECT IS, WELL, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS THAT OUR CITY IS DOING RIGHT NOW. 
          IT'S TOP THREE, IF NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT. 
          THIS PROJECT WILL CHANGE THE WAY VISITORS SEE OUR CITY, UH, THE WAY WE SEE OURSELVES. 
          JESUS, YOU CALL THIS AIRPORT THE AIRPORT OF THE FUTURE. 
          AND, UM, WE'VE TALKED, WE HEARD TODAY THAT THIS IS THE AIRPORT THAT SAN ANTONIO DESERVES. 
          UM, AND ALL THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE. 
          I WANNA REMIND EVERYBODY THOUGH, THAT THIS IS IN NO WAY A LUXURY. 
          THIS IS A NECESSITY. 
          WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO DO THIS AS OUR POPULATION GROWS, UH, FOR A LOT OF OTHER REASONS, NOT THE, THE LEAST OF WHICH YOU MENTIONED JESUS IS, UH, TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY KEY HERE IS, IS WE'RE NOT BUILDING THE FUTURE FOR TODAY. 
          I MEAN, I THINK YOU, YOU MENTIONED, UM, WE'RE LOOKING 2040 AND BEYOND. 
          YOUR PRESENTATION TODAY GIVES ME, UH, OUR COMMUNITY A A VISUAL GOAL. 
          I REMEMBER WE WENT OUT TO THE AIRPORT, AND, UM, YOU, WE STOOD OUT AND I LOOKED AT WHERE IT WAS, UM, THE PROPOSAL, UH, THE PROPOSED AREA WAS GONNA BE. 
          AND IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO VISUALIZE. 
          SO IT'S EXCITING AGAIN TO HEAR ME OR TO HEAR YOU GUYS, UH, TALK ABOUT HOW IT'S ACTUALLY GONNA LOOK. 
          AND IT REALLY GIVES US THAT, THAT VISUAL TO, TO REACH FOR, WE TALK ABOUT SAN ANTONIO HAVING A WORLD CLASS AIRPORT, ONE THAT WILL SPARK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND WE TALK ABOUT THE TIME AND INVESTMENT IT WILL TAKE TO REACH THAT GOAL. 
          AND THIS IS, UM, NOT THE FIRST STEP. 
          YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT A LONG TIME, BUT THIS IS A, A, A FIRST, UH, MAYBE PUBLIC STEP AND GIVES US A REALLY CLEAR FINISH LINE. 
          SO I LIKE, UH, WHEN I HAVE A GOAL, I LIKE TO SEE THE END RESULT. 
          I LIKE TO VISUALIZE IT. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UH, HAS, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS REAL QUICKLY. 
          HAS THERE BEEN ANY WORK DONE TO EVALUATE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT TO THE CITY ONCE THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE? WELL, WE DID HAVE PLANS TO TRY AND DO AN ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY. 
          MM-HMM. 
           IN, IN 2020, OF COURSE, C O D UH, HIT US. 
          SO THERE WAS REALLY, WE REALLY DID NOT WANNA DO ONE. 
          WE'RE WE'RE WAITING PROBABLY ANOTHER 12, 14 MONTHS BEFORE WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE, HAVE A FULL RESUMPTION OF SERVICE. 
          THERE'S STILL A LOT OF VOLATILITY IN THE MARKET AND UNCERTAINTY THAT WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH IN 2018. 
          A, AN EC AN E AN ECONOMIC STUDY WAS PERFORMED, UH, $5.2 BILLION WAS OUR OVERALL ECONOMIC IMPACT TO, UH, THE AIRPORT. 
          SO IT'S AN ENGINE TO THIS CITY, WHICH IS WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS THE EXPANSION AND THE GROWTH OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          AND CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT FEDERAL FUNDS, UM, THAT WE'VE BOTH RECEIVED, AND THEN A FEDERAL FUNDS THAT WE CAN ADVOCATE FOR, UH, AS WELL? I'D LIKE TO ADVOCATE FOR, FOR MORE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THIS? YEAH. 
          IT'S, IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY WHERE THE, THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION HAS PROVIDED, YOU KNOW, UM, FUNDING FOR VERTICAL PROJECTS AS IT RELATES TO, UH, THE TERMINAL PROJECTS. 
          SO THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, IN 2022, WE DID NOT RECEIVE FUNDING. 
          THERE'S A NUMBER OF AIRPORTS. 
          UH, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT SIZES FOR LARGE HUBS VERSUS MEDIUM HUBS. 
          SO, MEDIUM HUBS DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN AS MUCH FUNDING AS LARGE HUBS, JUST FOR THE SHEER NATURE OF THE EMPLOYMENT VOLUME THAT GOES INTO THOSE LARGE HUBS. 
          UM, WE FEEL WITH THE GROUND LOADING FACILITY, WE WILL BE VERY COMPETITIVE IN 2023. 
          WE ANXIOUSLY AWAIT THE DISPOSITION OF THE FA A'S, UH, RESPONSES AS IT RELATES TO THAT 20 24, 20 25, AND 26. 
          WE'LL, WE WILL 
          [01:15:01]
CONTINUE TO COMPETE FOR THOSE FOR, UM, ALL THE WORK THAT WE WILL BE DOING INTO THIS NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST, MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS THAT THE CITY IS WORKING ON NOW. 
          SO ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO HELP ADVOCATE FOR ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING, PLEASE KEEP ME IN THE LOOP ON THAT SO I CAN, UM, HELP MA'AM, IN ANY WAY, MA'AM. 
          UM, I, I KNOW I KEEP CALLING YOU TO TRANSPORTATION, OUR TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY COMMITTEE, UH, FOR UPDATES ON THIS PROJECT, AND I, OF COURSE, THE NEXT 10 MONTHS AS, AS I SAW FROM THE GANTT CHART, IS GONNA BE VERY CRUCIAL. 
          WE, UM, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT, UM, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE JUST PULL UP THE GANTT CHART, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND. 
          UM, UH, SLIDE 12. 
          KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING. 
          WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT, WHAT MY QUESTION REALLY REVOLVES AROUND WHAT, WHAT OTHER SUPPORT YOU MIGHT NEED AS WE, ESPECIALLY IN THE BEGINNING, THERE LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF WORK THAT'S UPFRONT, RIGHT? UM, HERE IN THIS, THIS OVAL THAT YOU HAVE. 
          UM, AND THEN AS OF 2025, THAT'S MOST, THAT'S CONSTRUCTION, RIGHT? CORRECT. 
          BY THE WAY, I THINK THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY SHORT TIMEFRAME. 
          IT, IT'S, IT'S GOOD, UH, WE WANNA SEE IT COMPLETE. 
          UM, BUT WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO TO SUPPORT YOU WITHIN THAT OVAL? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT, UH, QUESTION. 
          COUNCILWOMAN, FROM OUR STANDPOINT, YOU KNOW, YOU THINK BACK OF WHEN THE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED IN 2018, EVEN BEFORE MY ARRIVAL AND THE HARD WORK THAT PEOPLE PUT IN TO GET THAT COMPLETED, TO HAVE A 10 YEAR MASTER PLAN, BUT NOT JUST A 10 YEAR, BUT TO LOOK OUT OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS, THAT TOOK US INTO 2040. 
          THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE, A LOT OF HARD WORK HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN 2020 AND WHERE WE STAND TODAY IN THE EARLY DAYS OF 2023. 
          SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE SET THE FOUNDATION, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS WORK IS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS, BUT WE ARE ABLE TO BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD AS IT RELATES TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORK AS IT RELATES TO BRINGING ON A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK AS IT RELATES TO BRINGING ON THE MASTER ARCHITECT THAT'S GONNA HELP US GET THROUGH THIS DESIGN WORK. 
          AND THEN THE SPEED OF, OF BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU ALL WITH FREQUENCY, TO BE ABLE TO COME TO B SESSIONS AND COMMUNICATE AND SHARE WITH YOU WHERE, SPECIFICALLY WHERE WE'RE AT, AND HAVE THE DIALOGUE OF THE WISHES AND THE WANTS OF AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          UH, WE ALSO COMMUNIC COMMUNICATE WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CHAMBERS, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GROUPS AND COMMITTEES, UH, AS YOU RELATED TO YOUR TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. 
          WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT AS WE GO FORWARD. 
          SO WE WILL BE CONTINUOUS IN OUR EFFORT TO, TO HAVE THESE COMMUNICATIONS. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, ONE FINAL QUESTION, UM, ABOUT, UH, OUR, THE ENERGY EFFICIENT, UM, ASPECT TO, TO THE DESIGN. 
          AND I KNOW THAT THE DESIGN MIGHT CHANGE A LITTLE BIT BETWEEN NOW AND ACTUAL, UM, CONSTRUCTION, BUT, UH, CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE, THE, THE GREEN ENERGY PORTION OF THIS? I, I WILL, AS LONG AS YOU WATCH MY BACK, BECAUSE MY TEAM IS GONNA SAY, YOU BETTER NOT GO OUT THERE AND SAY THAT WE'RE GONNA BE SPECIFICALLY OKAY TO, WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK. 
          YEAH. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO WITH THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          WE DO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU KNOW, UNDER THE EIGHT AIRPORT COUNCIL INTERNATIONAL, WE HAVE STARTED THE MAPPING OF WHAT THAT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE. 
          THERE'S SIX LEVELS TO THAT. 
          AS WE START TO MOVE FORWARD, WHETHER IT'S THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING IN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A A A A A GRANT THAT WE'RE GONNA BE RECEIVING, WE WILL BE, YOU KNOW, MOVING TO ELECTRIFIED BUSING OPERATIONS. 
          SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING THAT. 
          HOW DO WE ADD ADDITIONAL POWER WITH THE SOLAR PANELS? WE HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE INITIAL STEPS AND HAVE ALREADY WORKED WITH OUR AIRLINES ON ALL OF OUR, WHAT WE CALL OUR, OUR GSES, OUR GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT. 
          THIS IS ALL OF THE GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT THAT SITS IN THE RAMP AREAS IS ALREADY ELECTRIFIED AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE CONTINUE TO DO THOSE EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES. 
          AND AS THOSE COME TO US, THE TEAM IS EXTREMELY CREATIVE. 
          UM, AS I MENTIONED TO YOU EARLIER, THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF PASSION AND COMMITMENT. 
          THEY'RE HITTING ME AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. 
          HEY, WE GOTTA DO THIS, WE GOTTA DO THIS, WE GOTTA DO THIS. 
          GREAT. 
          AND OUR ABILITY TO SPEED TO MOVE AND COMMUNICATE THAT WITH YOU ALL IS CRITICAL. 
          I, I'M, I'M THANKFUL TO HEAR THAT IT IS TOP OF MIND FOR YOU, THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE WORKING ON. 
          UM, AND I'M GONNA KEEP YOU CALLING YOU TO TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY FOR UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPMENT. 
          I KNOW THAT I, I MENTIONED THE, THE NEXT 10 MONTHS IS GONNA BE CRUCIAL. 
          UM, I WANNA KEEP, I WANNA KEEP YOU COMING TO INVITE YOU TO COME TO TRANSPORTATION FOR, FOR THREE BIG REASONS. 
          ONE, UM, TO KEEP THE AIRPORT TOP OF MIND. 
          I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL CONTINUING TO TALK ABOUT IT, UH, TO KEEP US ACCOUNTABLE TO OUR MASTER PLAN AND, AND OF COURSE TO OUR COMMUNITIES AND IN KEEPING THEM INFORMED OF WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          AND THIRD, UH, I ALSO WANNA KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP IN THE EXECUTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PLANS. 
          SO THE QUESTION I ASKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S INSIDE THE OVAL? I WANNA KEEP THAT CONVERSATION GOING. 
          I'M SURE THOSE NEEDS ARE GONNA CHANGE. 
          UM, I THINK THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT THE, UH, THE AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT, THE IMPACT THAT IT'S GONNA HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY, UH, BUSINESSES, BOTH LARGE AND SMALL, OUR 
          [01:20:01]
FAMILIES, NEIGHBORS. 
          THERE'S A SAYING THAT THE, A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS. 
          I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROJECT IS THAT RISING TIDE FOR OUR CITY. 
          AND I'M, UM, I'M OVERUSING THE WORD EXCITED, BUT I CAN'T EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW, UH, HOPEFUL, UM, I AM ABOUT, ABOUT THIS PROJECT. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. 
          UM, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD? I'M GONNA LET TIM CROLEY OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR, UH, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL PIECE, PLEASE. 
          I JUST WANNA GIVE YOU A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT ENVIRONMENTAL PIECE, AND JOE TOUCHED ON IT, BUT WE LOOKED AT THE PASSE IN FRONT OF THE TERMINAL. 
          WELL, AIRPORTS GENERATE A LOT OF WATER, WHETHER IT'S, YOU KNOW, WATER FROM THE FACILITY ITSELF WITH GRAY WATER, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF CONCRETE, SO THERE'S A LOT OF WATERSHED. 
          SO IF WE'RE ABLE TO CAPTURE THAT FROM A SUSTAINABILITY POINT AND UTILIZE IT TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE PLANTS AND OTHER, UH, FEATURES ON THAT, UH, EO MM-HMM. 
          , THAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, ONE GOOD EXAMPLE THAT WE'LL LOOK AT TERMINAL DESIGN IN CORGAN CAN SPEAK BETTER THIS ME, BUT NEW SMART GLASSES AND JUST GENERAL DESIGN TO COME A LONG WAY SINCE WE BUILT TERMINAL A. 
          SO WE'LL LOOK AT THAT. 
          WE'LL MAKE THAT A CORE FEATURE AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT, UM, JUST BECAUSE WE, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA ALWAYS TRY AND DO IS LOOK AT WHAT THOSE PASSIVE STRATEGIES ARE. 
          FIRST, BECAUSE WE USED TO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE BUILT HOUSES AND WE LIVED IN SAN ANTONIO WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING. 
          AND THAT WAS BECAUSE WE BUILT WITH OUR ENVIRONMENT IN TUNE WITH OUR ENVIRONMENT. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA ALWAYS TRY AND DO WITH THE AIRPORT AS WE LOOK AT IT, IS, HOW DO WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE LOW HANGING FRUIT? HOW DO WE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES AND DECISIONS THAT ARE PASSIVE? THEY'RE NOT COSTLY. 
          BUT THEN WE'RE ALSO GONNA LOOK AT, ONCE WE'VE GOTTEN THAT BUILDING, UH, THAT MADE ALL THE RIGHT CHOICES ABOUT THE BUILDING, THEN WE CAN START TO LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE GREEN ENERGY OPTIONS? WHAT ARE THE PERFORMANCE NEEDS? ALL OF THOSE THINGS. 
          BUT FIRST IS ALWAYS TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE PASSIVE IDEAS AND STRATEGIES, MUCH LIKE THE PASSA DOES WITH WATER. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER KI HDA, COUNCIL MEMBER EZ. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO, A COUPLE OF THINGS. 
          ONE, UM, IS, IS CRYSTAL JONES ON THE COMMITTEE FROM THE ARTS DEPARTMENT? DOES SHE WEIGH IN ON THIS, COUNCILMAN? WELL, JESUS IS COMING UP HERE. 
          SO STRUCTURALLY, WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE STEERING COMMITTEE THAT'S MADE UP OF, UM, JESUS AND JEFF, AND BEN, AND TROY AND ANDY, MYSELF. 
          UM, AND, AND THAT'S THE, THAT'S KIND OF IN THE INTERNAL ORGANIZATION ALONG WITH THE EXECUTIVE PROGRAM MANAGER AND THE PROGRAM MANAGER. 
          A BIG COMPONENT OF THAT AS THIS PROJECT MOVES FURTHER INTO DESIGN, AND THEN ULTIMATELY CONSTRUCTION WILL BE, UH, CRYSTAL AND THE ARTS DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE ELEMENTS OF PUBLIC ART IN THE BUILDING. 
          JUST TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, COUNCIL MEMBER AS WELL, MATT EVANS IS OUR ART CURATOR AT THE AIRPORT. 
          AND HE IS ALREADY IN CONVERSATIONS AND WORKING WITH CRYSTAL ABOUT LONG-TERM RANGE PLANNING AS IT RELATES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERMINAL COMPLEX AND WHAT THAT'S GONNA LOOK, LOOK LIKE. 
          WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THOSE THAT HAPPEN TODAY WITH EXISTING PROJECTS, BUT AS WE GO FORWARD, THIS WILL BE A VERY LARGE PROJECT, AND THEY'RE ALREADY STARTING THOSE COMMUNICATIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN LATER, I WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, UH, BECAUSE I'M, I'M, I MAY BE CATCHING YOU UNAWARE, 'CAUSE YOU AND I MET YESTERDAY, AND I DIDN'T ASK THIS QUESTION YESTERDAY, BUT IT'S, IT'S JUST OCCURRING TO ME AS I'M LOOKING, IS THAT WE, WE CAN APPROACH THIS, UM, AS IT RELATES TO ART AS, YOU KNOW, ONCE IT'S BUILT, THEN WE'LL DECIDE HOW TO PROGRAM AND ACTIVATE THE SPACE, OR WE CAN DECIDE TODAY TO MAKE THIS A SPECTACULAR WORK OF PUBLIC ART, RIGHT? UM, THAT THE AIRPORT ITSELF, IT CAN BE A WORK OF ART, RIGHT? AND WHEN WE SAY SENSE OF PLACE, UM, YOU KNOW, AND THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THEY'RE IN SAN ANTONIO MAKING SURE THAT EVEN AS THEY DRIVE UP, RIGHT? UM, AND THEY LOOK AT THIS, AT THIS STRUCTURE THAT THEY SAY, WOW, IT'S, IT'S A PIECE OF ART, RIGHT? AND I THINK WE OWE IT TO THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW MAYBE WE NEED TO FIND WAYS TO, TO MAKE SAN ANTONIO, UH, MORE RELEVANT TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CONSUME THE FANTASTIC ART OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE HERE. 
          AND SO I'LL JUST LEAVE THAT THERE. 
          I, I MEAN, THERE'S NO ANSWER NEEDED, BUT LET'S JUST HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT LATER ON. 
          UM, THE SECOND THING IS, IS I, I BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR SISTER CITIES IS, IS VERY IMPORTANT, RIGHT? UM, AND IT IS, UM, I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT MERITS MORE THAN JUST A, A WALL, UH, THAT NAMES OUR SISTER CITIES BY BAGGAGE CLAIM, RIGHT? AND SO, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M GONNA CHALLENGE YOU AS WE MOVE FORWARD IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONVERSATION ABOUT, UM, ABOUT SISTER CITIES IS INCLUDED, RIGHT? UM, THROUGHOUT THIS AIRPORT SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE REALLY ARE S A T INTERNATIONAL, RIGHT? AND THAT SAN ANTONIO IS AN INTERNATIONAL CITY WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS. 
          AND SO, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT ABOUT WHICH THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE DON'T DO ENOUGH TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS TO, UM, TO US, RIGHT? 
          [01:25:01]
SO, I, I WILL TELL YOU, AND I GOT NO QUESTIONS. 
          AND SO I'M JUST GONNA, I'M JUST GONNA GIVE YOU SOME THOUGHTS. 
          UM, I WAS, AS I APPROACHED TODAY'S MEETING, I WAS THINKING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE SEVENTH LARGEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. 
          WE'RE THE THIRD LARGEST CITY IN THE, WHAT IS THE NINTH LARGEST ECONOMY ON THE PLANET, RIGHT? UM, 35 PLUS MILLION PEOPLE VISIT US EVERY YEAR. 
          10 PLUS MILLION PEOPLE GO THROUGH THE AIRPORT EVERY YEAR. 
          UM, WE'RE THE NUMBER ONE MOST VISITED DESTINATION IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          AND ALL THESE VISITORS LEAVE BEHIND SOMETHING MAOS CLOSE TO $20 BILLION IN, UH, YOU KNOW, ECONOMIC REVENUE TO, TO, YOU KNOW, SMALL BUSINESSES, LARGE BUSINESSES, TO THE CITY AND THE COUNTY, ET CETERA. 
          UM, SO WITH THAT, AS, YOU KNOW, CONTEXT, OR AS A BACKDROP TO, UM, TO THIS, THIS LINE OF THOUGHT THAT I'VE HAD IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN I TRAVELED THROUGH S A T I ALWAYS, I ALWAYS WONDER WHETHER OR NOT, YOU KNOW, UM, ITS BANDWIDTH AND PORTFOLIO OFFERINGS AND AMENITIES ARE, UH, COMMENSURATE WITH OUR CITY'S PLACE, RIGHT? IN THE WORLD AND IN TEXAS, RIGHT? UM, AND WHEN I DO, WHEN I DO THAT THOUGHT EXERCISE, I ALWAYS COME UP WITH ONE ANSWER. 
          AND THAT IS, NOPE. 
          UH, WE AREN'T, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE SEVENTH LARGEST CITY. 
          WE'RE THE WORLD CLASS CITY, AND WE DON'T ACT. 
          WE HAVEN'T ACTED LIKE IT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. 
          AND I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT WE'RE FINALLY HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, JESUS, YOU KNOW, THAT, UM, I'M NOT A SPORADIC TRAVELER THAT, YOU KNOW, PART OF WHAT I DO INVOLVES ME HAVING TO TRAVEL A LOT, RIGHT? AND I'VE SITTING HERE, I'VE LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY AIRPORTS I'VE VISITED IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. 
          I DO KNOW THAT I'VE VISITED EIGHT COUNTRIES, UM, IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. 
          UM, AND EVERY TIME I, I GO, I'M, I'M NOW, BECAUSE I'M A COUNCILMAN AND WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION, I'M NOW CURIOUS AND I TAKE PICTURES OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT OTHER AIRPORTS ARE DOING, AND I, I, I SEE THAT THESE AIRPORTS ARE ADAPTING AND EVOLVING, RIGHT? TO MEET THESE NEW CHALLENGES AND THESE NEW NEEDS, UH, PASSENGER WELLBEING, PASSENGER ENTERTAINMENT, AND AMENITY PREFERENCES, AIRLINE NEEDS, UM, ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS, RIGHT? GROWTH OF THEIR OWN CITY. 
          UH, AND I ALWAYS COME HOME AND SAY THE SAME THING THAT PEOPLE SAY WHEN THEY, YOU KNOW, FOR THE, THE FIRST TIME THEY SEE THE ALAMO, WHICH IS, THAT'S IT. 
          UH, RIGHT? AND SO, I, I NEED TO STOP HERE AND TELL YOU THAT THIS IN NO WAY SHOULD REFLECT, UM, THE IDEA THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR TEAM. 
          I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A SPECTACULAR JOB AT, UM, DOING THE BEST YOU CAN WITH THE AIRPORT THAT WE'VE GOT, RIGHT? AND, UM, I, I WAS TELLING SOMEBODY, UH, THE OTHER DAY THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU, JESUS, AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOMEHOW MADE IT TO WEAR AN OLD HORSE RUNS LIKE SECRETARIAT, RIGHT? UM, AND I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU GUYS. 
          I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU GUYS. 
          AND IT'S, THIS IS NOT THROWING SHADE AS THE KIDS LIKE TO SAY TO YOU, RIGHT? THIS IS REALLY JUST SORT OF WONDERING, UM, WHY THIS CITY HAS KICKED THIS CAN DOWN THE ROAD FOR SO LONG, RIGHT? AND, UM, THAT IT'S WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY NOW THAT ALL OF US FEEL LIKE, OKAY, IT'S ON US TO, TO STOP KICKING THAT CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, UH, STEP UP TO THIS LEADERSHIP, UH, MOMENT. 
          SO, UM, I, I DO WANT TO TELL YOU THAT ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS ASK JENNA, SACE, RERA, OR BRENDA OR HICKS, OR ALEX LOPEZ, YOU KNOW, UM, OR EVEN OUR CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, SOME OF WHOM I SEE PRESENT HERE, THEY HAVE WAY TOO MANY STORIES ABOUT BEING IN THE ROOM WITH SITE SELECTORS AND DECISION MAKERS ABOUT WHERE LARGE EMPLOYERS WILL RELOCATE OR WHERE THEY'RE GONNA SET UP SHOP. 
          AND WAY TOO OFTEN THEY REPORT THAT THEY COME BACK AND THOSE PEOPLE TELL THEM, LOOK, YOU'VE GOT THE WORKFORCE WE NEED. 
          YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, I 10 35, 2 81, ALL THOSE GREAT THINGS GOING FOR YOU. 
          UM, YOU'VE GOT QUALITY OF LIFE THERE, THERE, BUT MAN, YOUR AIRPORT REALLY IS AN ACHILLES HEEL TO US, UM, EXECUTING ON A PLAN TO SET UP IN, IN, UH, SAN ANTONIO. 
          CALL US WHEN YOU'RE READY. 
          RIGHT? AND IN THE MEANTIME, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO OTHER CITIES. 
          AND SO, I, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT, AND, AND I KNOW THAT THESE CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN, NOT BY HEARSAY AND, YOU KNOW MM-HMM. 
           HEARING, I'VE LITERALLY BEEN IN THE ROOM WHEN THESE FOLKS SAY THOSE THINGS. 
          AND MAYOR, YOU HAVE TOO. 
          UM, YOU'VE, YOU'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY, LOOK, I, I LOVE SAN ANTONIO, BUT I, I CAN'T BECAUSE YOUR AIRPORT IS SO LIMITED, RIGHT? AND SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT IN AN AIRPORT. 
          THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT TO LAND MORE TOURISTS, RIGHT? OR TO MAKE THE CURRENT 10 MILLION PEOPLE HAPPY. 
          UM, THIS IS AN INVESTMENT IN JOBS, RIGHT? AND THIS IS AN INVESTMENT IN OUR ABILITY TO BE COMPETITIVE WORLDWIDE WITH OTHER CITIES. 
          AND IT IS A BLOODY KNUCKLE FIGHT TO, UH, TO ATTRACT BIG EMPLOYERS HERE, RIGHT? FOR JOBS THAT WE'RE CREATING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. 
          AND SO, I'LL END WITH THIS AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD, THE CONVERSATION ABOUT WHO 
          [01:30:01]
WE'RE GONNA PICK FOR, UH, CONSTRUCTING AND DELIVERING THIS WORLD CLASS AIRPORT THAT EVERYBODY DESERVES, RIGHT? UM, FOR ME, I'M GOING TO INSIST, AND I'M GONNA BE LOOKING AT, UM, AT VOTING FOR THE TEAM THAT INCLUDES LOCAL BUSINESS, THAT INCLUDES, UH, VETERAN OWNED BUSINESSES, THAT INCLUDES MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES, UM, WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES, UH, HUBS, SMALL BUSINESSES. 
          AND I'M GOING TO BE LOOKING AND ASKING WHETHER OR NOT THE ENTIRE TEAM HAS SIGNED THE READY TO WORK PLEDGE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY IN GOOD FAITH ARE PARTICIPATING IN THAT. 
          RIGHT? THE SECOND THING I'LL, I'LL BE LOOKING AT, UM, IS A COMMITMENT FROM THE FIRMS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HONOR OUR EXPECTATION OF LIVABLE WAGES, WORKERS' COMPENSATION BENEFITS, RIGHT? WORK WITH WORKPLACE THAT PROVIDES THEM DIGNITY. 
          UM, AND THAT ALSO LOOKS OUT FOR THEIR SAFETY. 
          AND SO, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS IS NOT AN AIRPORT FOR THE TOURISTS. 
          THIS IS NOT AN AIRPORT, UH, JUST FOR THEM, OR JUST AN AIRPORT FOR BUSINESS TRAVELERS. 
          THIS IS AN AIRPORT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GONNA BE BUILDING THE AIRPORT, RIGHT? AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERY TIME THEY VISIT THERE, UM, AND THEY GO WITH THEIR FAMILIES ON A TRIP THAT THEY WALK IN AND THEY'RE PROUD OF HAVING PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROJECT, RIGHT? AND SO, UM, I THINK YOU'VE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB. 
          I HAVE ALL THE FAITH IN THE WORLD. 
          YOU'LL CONTINUE TO DO AN EXCELLENT JOB. 
          AND I'M JUST SO EXCITED THAT IT'S YOU, JESUS. 
          I THINK, UH, ERIC, WE MADE THE RIGHT CALL WHEN WE BROUGHT JESUS TO SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND, UM, THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR QUARTERBACK ON THIS. 
          THANKS, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCIL MAYOR. 
          IT'S A TRUE TEAM EFFORT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PIAS, COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          I'VE REALLY, UM, APPRECIATED THE PRESENTATION TODAY AND GIVING US A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE. 
          I KNOW, THOUGH, WHEN MOST PEOPLE TRAVEL, UH, THE IMPORTANT THING IS, YOU KNOW, WHERE CAN WE GET TO FROM HERE? WHERE CAN WE GO AND HOW EASY IS IT TO GET THERE? AND I THINK THAT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH WHAT COUNCILMAN PALS WAS TALKING ABOUT, ABOUT ATTRACTING OTHER BUSINESSES HERE. 
          YOU KNOW, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE AND HOW DO WE GET THERE? UH, A LOT OF THE AMENITIES THAT YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, LARGER TERMINAL AREA, MORE SEEDING, MORE CONCESSIONS, UH, THEY, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THOSE, BUT WHAT I'VE SEEN THEM AT WAS, UH, HUB AIRPORTS WHERE YOU'VE GOT THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS COMING THROUGH AND THEY TRANSFER IT TO ANOTHER FLIGHT, AND THEY MAY HAVE AN HOUR OR TWO HOURS, THREE HOURS, AND THEY, THEY WANT MORE SPACE. 
          THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLUG IN THEIR PHONE. 
          THEY WANNA BE ABLE TO SHOP FOR A WHILE WHILE THEY'RE, WHILE THEY'RE THERE. 
          I DON'T SEE SAN ANTONIO AS A, A HUB. 
          I THINK PEOPLE FLY IN AND WHEN THEY GET HERE, UH, FIRST THING I WANNA KNOW IS, WHERE'S THE RESTROOM? AND THEN THEY WANNA KNOW WHERE'S BAGGAGE CLAIM? AND, UH, WHEN I GET OUTTA BAGGAGE CLAIM, WHERE'S THE PARKING? UH, IF I PARK MY CAR? OR WHAT'S THE TRANSPORTATION I CAN USE TO GET TO WHEREVER I NEED TO GO? WHERE'S THE CAR RENTAL PICKUP PLACE? UH, AND, AND MAYBE IF THEY'RE GONNA BE THERE A LITTLE WHILE, THEY MAY LOOK AT A CONCESSION. 
          I SEE THAT AS PEOPLE FLYING IN ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE WE ARE A DESTINATION AIRPORT. 
          ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN, WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY'RE INTERESTED IN WHERE DO I PARK WHEN I GET THERE? AND, UH, YOU KNOW, HOW ABOUT GETTING MY TICKET TAKEN CARE OF? AND WHERE DO I CHECK MY BAGGAGE? AND HOW LONG IS IT GONNA TAKE ME TO GET THROUGH SECURITY? AND ONCE I GET THROUGH SECURITY, UH, YOU KNOW, HOW DO I GET TO, YOU KNOW, WHERE MY PLANE IS GONNA BE TAKEN OFF FROM? AND THEN THEY MIGHT THINK ABOUT, OKAY, WHERE'S A CONCESSION? 'CAUSE I'VE GOT 45 MINUTES TO MY FLIGHT, UH, AND I WANT TO HAVE A COMFORT PLACE TO SIT WHILE I'M WAITING. 
          AND BY THE WAY, WHERE ARE THE RESTROOMS? SO, YOU KNOW, I, I, I HEAR, AND I SEE A LOT OF REALLY, REALLY VALUABLE THINGS BEING, UH, EXPRESSED THROUGH THESE RENDERINGS. 
          WHAT I REALLY WANNA KNOW IS THAT EVERY ONE OF THE THINGS I JUST MENTIONED BECOME TOP PRIORITIES. 
          AND WE PROVIDE THE VERY BEST OF THOSE KINDS OF SERVICES TO THE MEN AND WOMEN FAMILIES FLYING IN AND OUT OF SAN ANTONIO, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK A LOT OF 'EM ARE GONNA STAY AND SIT AROUND FOR AN HOUR OR TWO OR THREE. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF OUR VALUE IS TO HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, 50 DIFFERENT CONCESSIONS WHERE YOU CAN GO AND BUY A JACKET AND TIE, OR YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BUY, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, PREMIUM PRODUCTS OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          I SEE THOSE IN THE HUBS. 
          I SEE THAT WHERE PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE STANDING AROUND FOR HOURS AND HOURS. 
          SURE. 
          HAVING A, A GOOD RESTAURANT, A GOOD BAR, UH, A FEW THINGS THAT KIND OF, UH, GIVE YOU SOMETHING YOU CAN TAKE AWAY FROM SAN ANTONIO AS A 
          [01:35:01]
REMINDER OF, OF YOUR STAY. 
          I THINK WHEN YOU GET HERE, GETTING A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT THE CITY MAY HAVE TO OFFER MAKE YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. 
          ALL OF THOSE ARE DEFINITELY IMPORTANT. 
          UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN I, WHEN I'M GOING THERE, I WANNA KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, WHERE'S THE PROPOSED NEW MAIN ENTRANCE TO GET THROUGH T SS A AND HOW FAR IS THAT GONNA BE FROM THE FURTHEST GATE THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO GO TO, AND HOW LONG IS IT GONNA TAKE THEM TO GET THERE? UH, YOU KNOW, AND, AND WHERE'S THE BAGGAGE CLAIM LOCATION AT THE END WHEN I GET OFF, YOU KNOW, HOW CLOSE IS IT RELATED TO THE EXITS OR TO TRANSPORTATION? AND, UH, THOSE ARE MORE OF THE THINGS I'M GOING TO WANNA SEE, UH, DETAILED AND SHOWN. 
          AND, AND I THINK THOSE THINGS WILL HELP US BECOME THE KIND OF AIRPORT THAT BUSINESSES WILL BE SAYING, THAT'S GREAT. 
          HELPS ME GET TO WHERE I NEED TO GO QUICKLY, AND IT'S GOT WHAT I NEED. 
          UH, AND I THINK THE TOURISTS WILL LOVE IT. 
          UH, SO ANYWAY, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT, THAT I WANT TO SEE MORE DETAIL ABOUT AS WE GO FORWARD. 
          I, I, I, I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE COUNCIL MEMBER WITH YOUR COMMENTS. 
          UH, JUST SOME IMPORTANT ELEMENTS TO ADD WITH REGARDS TO THE DIRECTION AND, AND TO SOME OF THE ACTIONS THAT WE'VE TAKEN ALREADY. 
          UH, I'LL START FIRST WITH, UM, THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WAS RANKED NUMBER FOUR IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL FOR THE DELIVERY OF SERVICE OF WHAT WE PROVIDED FOR ALL OF THE THINGS YOU'VE JUST STATED. 
          AND NUMBER ONE IN THE UNITED STATES AS IT RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION SCREENING, AS IT RELATES GOING THROUGH THE, THE T S A SCREENING CHECKPOINT, WE WERE RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE ENTIRE US THAT'S, UH, ATTRIBUTED TO THE BRINGING ON OF THE CANINES THAT WORK WITH US AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT WORK WITH US FROM NOT ONLY THE SAN ANTONIO, UH, AIRPORT POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT ALSO FROM THE T S A. 
          SO THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENTS. 
          AND WE WERE RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          WE ARE A O AND D MARKET, UH, ORIGIN TO DESTINATION. 
          95% OF OUR TRAVELERS COME IN, UH, ARE COMING HERE TO STAY, OR THEY'RE COMING HERE TO LEAVE. 
          RIGHT? AND, AND, AND, AND WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          SO AS WE CONTINUE TO DO THE DESIGN ELEMENTS, WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO DELIVER ON THOSE SERVICES. 
          UH, I SPEAK THIS LOOSELY, UH, QUITE OFTEN BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW PROUD I AM OF THE TEAM THAT I WORK WITH EVERY DAY, AND THE WAY THAT THEY DELIVER THE SERVICES THAT THEY DELIVER UNDER SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. 
          WE'LL CONTINUE TO CHASE. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'VE INCREASED OUR TOTAL NONSTOP DESTINATIONS TO 40 PLUS, AND WE WANT TO CHANGE 50, AND WE WANT THOSE TO BE A MIXTURE OF NOT ONLY DOMESTIC, BUT INTERNATIONALLY AS WELL. 
          SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK THOSE EFFORTS. 
          THE OVERALL SENSE OF PLACE AND THE WAY THAT WE CONSTRUCT EVERYTHING, THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE HEADING TOWARDS AS IT RELATES TO, 'CAUSE YOU'RE SPOT ON WITH YOUR COMMENTS CO COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          THE PASSENGER WANTS TO GET IN AND GET OUT, AND THEY WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR BUSINESS AND MOVE AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          THE U P SS AND ME COMES OUT REALLY FAST, UH, AS WE START TO DISCUSS THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING ELEMENTS OF HOW WE DELIVER THE SERVICES THAT WE DELIVER. 
          I WILL TELL YOU, AS YOU LOOK AT THE FRAMEWORK OF THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX, AND AS WE BREAK THAT UP INTO WHAT'S GONNA BE THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX AND THE OLD, UH, TERMINAL A THAT EXISTS TODAY, AND EVEN INTO TODAY'S TERMINAL B, THE BAGGAGE CLAIMS WILL REMAIN SO THAT WHEN PASSENGERS EXIT AND COME OUT, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GO DOWN IN EACH ONE OF THOSE CONCOURSES AND GO DIRECTLY TO THE BAGGAGE CLAIM. 
          WHETHER YOU'RE SITTING AT, UM, YOU KNOW, B ONE A OR WHETHER YOU'RE SITTING AT A FIVE OR A 16, YOU'LL COME OUT AND IN LESS THAN A MINUTE, YOU'RE HITTING DOWN AND YOU'RE IN BAGGAGE CLAIM LEVEL, YOU'RE READY TO GRAB YOUR BAGS AND GO. 
          SO, SPEED OF DELIVERY WILL CONTINUE TO BE A FOCUS OF OURS AND, AND ENSURING THAT THOSE ELEMENTS ARE BEING TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES, SIR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN COURAGE. 
          COUNCILWOMAN CASTILLO. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM. 
          UH, THANK YOU JOSE. 
          TROY, BEN AND TEAM FOR THE PRESENTATION AND THE CONTINUED WORK. 
          I WAS REALLY PLEASED TO HEAR DURING THE PRESENTATION THAT THIS IS AN AIRPORT FOR 2040 AND BEYOND. 
          AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE IN 2021, THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION RELEASED A AVIATION ACTION CLIMATE PLAN THAT SETS OUT TO ACHIEVE NET ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, UM, BY 2050. 
          AND WHILE, UH, INCREASING THE PRODUCTION OF SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUELS AND ELIMINATION, ELIMINATION OF AVIATION GASOLINE, UH, IS BEYOND THE SCOPE AND PURVIEW OF CITY COUNCIL, I DO BELIEVE THE DESIGN, UH, THE PROPOSED DESIGN AND OPPORTUNITY GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY HERE AT THE CITY LEVEL TO HELP THE SECRETARY ACHIEVE THAT GOAL. 
          UM, SO I'M PLEASED TO HEAR THAT FOR THE TIME BEING THERE IS A LEVEL ONE STANDARD. 
          UM, AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT GREEN AIRPORTS, 
          [01:40:01]
OF COURSE, NO ONE THINKS OF AIRPORTS AS GREEN, RIGHT? BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF OUR EMISSIONS ARE FROM TRANSPORTATION. 
          UH, HOWEVER, I THINK OF OSLO, RIGHT? AND NORWAY, AND HOW THEY'RE RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE GREENEST, UH, AIRPORTS IN THE WORLD. 
          AND WHEN LOOKING AT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN OSLO, THEY RELY PRIMARILY ON THEIR ENVIRONMENT, RIGHT? SO WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO REPLICATE MANY OF, UH, THEIR DESIGN AND WHAT THEY DO IN NORWAY, BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY USE THE SNOW TO COOL THE BUILDING. 
          SO I GUESS MY, MY QUESTIONS FOR LAKE THETO IS WITH THE DESIGN, HOW DO WE INTEND TO INTEGRATE, UM, THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT OF SAN ANTONIO, UM, TO HELP US RECEIVE A SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT? I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO, THERE'S GOING TO BE AN OPEN AREA WITH, UH, WITH WINDOWS, RIGHT? TO GET SOME SUNLIGHT. 
          UM, BUT WE KNOW SAN ANTONIO HEAT GETS ABOVE 115 DEGREES. 
          UM, SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO SUSTAINABLE SUSTAINA KEEP IT, UM, COOL, UH, IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY? AND I KNOW YOU MENTIONED SOME OF, UM, THE, THE CONDENSATION FROM COOLING SYSTEMS TO POTENTIALLY FUEL THINGS, BUT CAN YOU SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT RESEARCH YOU'VE DONE OR WHAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING? SURE. 
          AND I'LL SPECIFICALLY TALK ABOUT THE, UH, SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUELS AND TURN IT OVER TO JOE. 
          BUT THAT IS PART OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          'CAUSE, UH, IN THE ADMINISTRATION AND LOOKING AT THOSE THINGS, WE WANNA BE AS COMPETITIVE AS POSSIBLE AND BE, YOU KNOW, UH, AS SUSTAINABLE AS POSSIBLE IN THE DESIGN. 
          'CAUSE IT MAKES US MORE COMPETITIVE, COMPETITIVE FOR FEDERAL FUNDING. 
          BUT WITH, UH, SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUELS AND DIFFERENT FUELS THAT ARE MOVING OUT, UH, IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY, WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE POSITIONED WELL, NOT ONLY FOR TODAY, BUT WHAT THE AIRLINES MIGHT BE, UH, USING IN THE FUTURE. 
          AND WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH TANK STORAGE OR HOW THEY, YOU KNOW, UH, LET THIS, THE FUEL SETTLE OR THE HYDRANT SYSTEM THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT TO DELIVER THE FUEL TO THE TERMINALS. 
          THAT'S ALL PART, ALL PART OF THE DESIGN AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THE FUEL SPECIFICALLY. 
          I'LL ASK JOE TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER ITEMS. UM, I THINK, I THINK YOUR EXAMPLE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE, OSLO, BECAUSE I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I MENTIONED EARLIER WAS THIS IDEA OF DESIGNING TO OUR ENVIRONMENT. 
          YOU'RE, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. 
          WE HAVE, UH, WE'RE BLESSED HERE IN SAN ANTONIO WITH 250 PLUS DAYS OF SUNSHINE. 
          SUNSHINE IS AN IMPORTANT THING, BUT IT ALSO IS OUR WORST ENEMY SOMETIMES, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT'S HOT AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS. 
          AND SO THE DESIGN NEEDS TO BALANCE THAT, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE A, A VERY NICELY, NATURALLY DAY LIT SPACE, AND HOW DO WE BALANCE THAT HEAT GAIN AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LESS ELECTRICITY USE OF THAT NATURAL LIGHTING. 
          I THINK IT'S ALWAYS LOOKING AT THOSE KINDS OF EXAMPLES OF HOW WE, HOW WE SHAPE THE BUILDING TO BE IN TUNE ENVIRONMENTALLY WITH OUR, OUR, OUR CITY. 
          BECAUSE WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A LOT OF THOSE THINGS. 
          IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. 
          AND, AND ULTIMATELY THE GOAL, WELL, IT'S NOT JUST TO BE SUSTAINABLE, BUT TO ALSO MAKE US COMPETITIVE AS A CITY FOR THOSE FEDERAL GRANTS, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT'S WHAT FOLKS ARE LOOKING FOR. 
          SURE. 
          AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, UM, WITH THE SAN ANTONIO HOUSING TRUST, RIGHT? I SERVE ON A COMMITTEE OF ACCESSIBILITY AND DESIGN WHERE WE FOLLOW THE KELSEY STANDARDS, AND THAT'S FOR HOUSING. 
          UM, BUT WE ALSO HAVE CONVERSATION ABOUT GOING BEYOND HOUSING WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESSIBILITY. 
          AND, UM, MY COLLEAGUE BROUGHT UP A REALLY GREAT POINT ABOUT SENSORY ROOMS AND DESIGN MM-HMM. 
           AND ADULT, UM, CHANGING STATIONS. 
          UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I HOPE TO SEE INTEGRATED IN THIS PROCESS. 
          UH, AND THE DESIGN IS ENSURING THAT, UM, IT'S 100% ACCESSIBLE, RIGHT? AND ALSO, UM, AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO THE DESIGN TEAM, RIGHT? SURE. 
          UM, SO THAT, DID YOU HAVE, I MENTIONED THIS IDEA OF SAN ANTONIO BEING A WARM, EMBRACING COMMUNITY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UM, ALL OF THOSE THINGS, ALL OF THOSE, UH, SERVICES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE PART OF THAT WARM AND WELCOMING NEW MOTHERS NURSING ROOMS, UH, ADULT CHANGING TABLES AND FAMILY RESTROOMS. ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS ARE PART OF THAT EXPERIENCE THAT REALLY HELPS TO SHAPE PEOPLE'S EMBRACING THE CITY. 
          I, I THINK I, I WOULD ALSO OFFER, UM, WE ARE IN THE PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS AS WE START TO GET INTO THE DESIGN ELEMENTS OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING, WE'VE ALREADY STARTED TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS. 
          WHY NOT BORROW PERCEPTION FROM MORGAN'S WONDERLAND AND WHAT THEY DO? YES. 
          AND, AND HOW DOES THAT CONNECT TO EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO? SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT. 
          UM, YES, OUR CHASE IS TO BE ULTRA ACCESSIBLE AND, AND ENSURE THAT WE MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION. 
          SO THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO OCCUR. 
          I JUST RECENTLY HAD AN EXCHANGE, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH, UH, MORGAN'S WONDERLAND AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH IT, WITH REGARDS TO THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE HEADING TOWARDS. 
          GREAT. 
          I'M REALLY PLEASED TO HEAR THAT. 
          AND ON ANOTHER NOTE, WITH INCORPORATING NEW DESIGN STANDARDS ON RATHER ON THE SENSE OF PLACE, UH, I KNOW ON SLIDE 10, THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES. 
          UM, HOWEVER, I DON'T SEE MY SAN ANTONIO, UM, 100% REFLECTED, UH, WITHIN THESE. 
          AND I THINK IT IS A REALLY GREAT POINT TO BRING IN, UM, KELSEY JONES OF THE SAN ANTONIO ARTS DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE WHEN I 
          [01:45:01]
THINK OF THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, I THINK OF MEXICAN-AMERICAN CULTURE AND MARKET SQUARE AND METRA. 
          AND WHILE THE, UH, SOMEONE WAS ASKING QUESTIONS THE COUNCILMAN BROUGHT UP LIKE PINATAS, RIGHT? UM, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, JUST INCORPORATING THE MEXICAN AMERICAN IDENTITY, UM, WITHIN THE SENSE OF PLACE WOULD BE REALLY KEY. 
          AND I DO AGREE THAT, UH, WITH COUNCILMAN EZ ON, UM, USING IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE SAN ANTONIO ARTS, UM, AND I THINK THAT COULD BE VERY POWERFUL AND ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE, UH, ECONOMIC ATTRACTION TO OUR DISTRICTS, RIGHT? FOR EXAMPLE, I UNDERSTAND, UM, THERE'S ALREADY VISITED SA RIGHT? THERE'S PLACES TO GO WITHIN DOWNTOWN, BUT WE ALL HAVE GEMS WITHIN OUR CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS, RIGHT? THAT I THINK ANYONE WHO'S COMING TO SAN ANTONIO NEEDS TO EAT THERE. 
          THEY NEED TO GO TO THIS ART GALLERY. 
          SO AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTEGRATE, UM, WHAT WE HAVE THOSE GEMS IN OUR DISTRICT, UM, TO SHOWCASE THERE, WHETHER IT'S OUR ARTIST, UM, OR OUR FOOD, IS SOMETHING THAT I HOPE TO SEE IN THE SENSE OF PLACE. 
          MM-HMM. 
           VERY WELL SAID. 
          FROM OUR STANDPOINT, THE TWO WORDS THAT COME TO ME IS WE NEED TO CELEBRATE OUR CITY, RIGHT? AND HOW DO WE DO THAT? AND INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE, THE FUTURE OF THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL BE, UH, THAT WE WILL BE VERY CONSIDERATE OF. 
          AND THEN EQUALLY IN KIND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S SOMETHING TO TO BE SAID ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF SAN ANTONIO AS WELL, RIGHT? AS YOU MENTIONED, WHETHER WE GO INTO EACH OF THESE DISTRICTS, THERE'S A CERTAIN SPIRIT ABOUT EACH ONE OF THEM, AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT, AND WE WANT TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE, THE FUTURE OF WHO WE'RE GONNA BE. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          I, I LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, THE BRIEFINGS AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE AND APPRECIATE THE WORK. 
          GREAT WORK TEAM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN CASTILLO. 
          COUNCILMAN PERRY. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          GREAT. 
          JESUS. 
          UH, I'VE GOT A FEW QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS AS WELL, BUT FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA SAY, UH, THANK YOU TO JOHN DIXON AND THE REST OF THE COMMITTEE. 
          UH, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS AND, UH, WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, RIGHT? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, BUT THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH, UM, FOR, UH, COMING UP TO THIS POINT. 
          AND, UH, LIKE I SAID, WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, JESUS, I'M GONNA ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION THAT I'VE ASKED YOU SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HERE, IS, HOW ARE WE GONNA PAY FOR THIS? I MEAN, WHAT, WHAT IS THE CURRENT ESTIMATE RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT? YEAH. 
          SO, SO, SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF, OF, OF STREAMS THAT WILL BE UTILIZED TO PAY FOR THIS, THIS CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT. 
          OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE GONNA ISSUE DEBT, SO THERE WILL BE DEBT ISSUANCE FOR WHAT WE NEED TO DO. 
          UM, WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL AERONAUTICAL AND NON AERONAUTICAL REVENUES. 
          AERONAUTICAL REVENUES COME FROM AIRCRAFT THAT ARE TAKING OFF AN AIRCRAFT THAT ARE LANDING. 
          SO THERE ARE REVENUE STREAMS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. 
          AND THEN THE NON AERONAUTICAL REVENUE THAT COMES FROM ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST AT THE AIRPORT, WHETHER IT BE FOOD, BEVERAGE AND RETAIL, WHETHER IT BE IN THE PARKING STREAMS, AND THE REVENUE THAT WE MAKE FROM THAT, WHETHER IT BE OF THE REVENUE STREAM THAT COMES FROM OUR CON RACK, AND HOW WE INCORPORATE A NUMBER OF THOSE EFFORTS TO CREATE NEW REVENUE STREAMS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          SO ALL OF THOSE, ALONG WITH ANY, YOU KNOW, FEDERAL FUNDING SUPPORT THAT WE CAN CAPTURE, WHETHER THAT BE ON THE AIRFIELD OR ON, YOU KNOW, ON, ON, ON THE TERMINAL, WE WILL UTILIZE THOSE EFFORTS TO PAY FOR THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALONG WITH THE AGREEMENT THAT WE PUT TOGETHER WITH THE AIRLINES TO ENSURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT WHERE ARE WE AT TODAY? I MEAN, HOW MUCH MONEY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY WITH, UH, YOU'VE SHOWN US A GANTT CHART, YOU'VE, YOU KNOW, UH, 15% DESIGN, AND I'VE GOT MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, BUT HOW MUCH ARE WE LOOKING AT TODAY? EACH ONE OF THOSE ELEMENTS IS DIFFERENT. 
          SO I CAN TELL YOU AS IT RELATES TO JUST THE TURMOIL COMPLEX, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SITTING PRETTY CLOSE TO A BILLION DOLLARS JUST FOR THE TURMOIL COMPLEX. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER ADDITIONAL ENABLING PROJECTS THAT WILL ADD INTO THAT. 
          I WILL TELL YOU THAT IS AN ESTIMATE, AND I CAN'T EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT SAT DOWN AND PROGRAMMED ALL OF THE SPACE ALLOCATIONS OF WHAT THE AIRLINES ARE GONNA NEED, WHAT THEY'RE GONNA WANT AS IT RELATES TO THEIR TERMINAL SPACES AS IT RELATES TO ANY LOUNGES THAT THEY'RE GONNA NEED. 
          AND OF COURSE, THERE'S A LOT OF VOLATILITY IN THE MARKET. 
          SO, UM, WE KNOW, UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME ESTIMATES, AND THAT'S WHY I I GIVE YOU, AS IT RELATES TO THE TERMINAL COMPLEX, IT'S SOMEWHERE JUST SPECIFICALLY AROUND, I MEAN, I MEAN, ESTIMATED SOMEWHERE AROUND A BILLION DOLLARS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? IS THAT IS CORRECT. 
          JUST THE NEW TERMINAL, TERMINAL C, IS THAT WHAT WE'RE SAYING? WE'RE JUST REFERENCING IT. 
          THE NEW TERMINAL. 
          THE NEW TERMINAL. 
          OKAY. 
          WHATEVER THAT IS. 
          BUT, UH, SO AROUND A BILLION DOLLARS, WHEN WILL WE SEE HOW WE'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS OR HOW YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS? BECAUSE WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT AIRPORT 
          [01:50:01]
FUNDS HERE. 
          WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT TAX DOLLARS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT COMING INTO FROM THE CITY. 
          UM, UM, DEPEND, WILL WE SEE THE FINANCIAL PLAN ON HOW THIS IS, HOW THIS TERMINAL IS GONNA BE PAID FOR? YEAH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK STILL TO DO AS WE TALK ABOUT THE ISSUANCE OF DEBT. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH, YOU KNOW, BEN AND THE ENTIRE TEAM. 
          AND TROY, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE'VE GOT TO COMPLETE THE AIRLINE USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT THAT'S GONNA TAKE, YOU KNOW, 12 TO 14 MONTHS FOR US TO GET INTO THE, THE, THE WEEDS OF, OF HOW WE'RE GONNA STRUCTURE ALL OF OUR, YOU KNOW, USE AND LEASE THE RATES AND CHARGES OF WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN. 
          SO ALL OF THAT HAS TO BE CONSTRUCTED, AS I EMPHASIZED AND PREFACED EARLIER, WITH REGARDS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF US BEING COMPETITIVE, NOT JUST OPERATIONALLY, NOT JUST FROM THE LEVEL OF SERVICE, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, AS YOU REFERENCED TO THE TUNE OF THE COST, WE WANNA BE COST COMPETITIVE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          GIVE ME A DATE SOMEWHERE IN THE FUTURE. 
          WHEN ARE WE GONNA SEE HOW WE'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS TERMINAL? SOMEWHERE, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 12 TO 14 MONTHS. 
          WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL OF THAT ANALYSIS COMPLETE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER AND PROVIDE YOU, UH, NOT ONLY SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARDS TO THE ESTIMATES OF COST FOR THE ENTIRE PROGRAM, BUT ALSO THE BUDGET WILL BEGIN TO PUT TOGETHER DEFINING A FULL PLAN OF FINANCE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN 12 TO 16 MONTHS. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT. 
          TOOK ME, TOOK ME ALMOST FIVE MINUTES TO GET THERE. 
          SO 12 TO 14 MONTHS, WE, WE SHOULD HAVE THE FINANCIAL WORKINGS OF THIS ON HOW YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS. 
          THAT IS CORRECT. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          ALRIGHT, LET'S TALK ABOUT, UH, SLIDE NUMBER FIVE. 
          UM, I, I SEE YOUR GANTT CHART. 
          THIS LOOKS GREAT. 
          UM, YOU SAID THAT TODAY YOU'RE AT 15% DESIGN. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE CLOSE TO 15%. 
          OKAY. 
          WHEN I, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, ARE WE, ARE WE TALKING CALENDAR YEAR OR, OR, BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THIS IN Q ONE. 
          UM, UH, I'M, IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CALENDAR YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FISCAL YEAR, UH, Q ONE, WE'RE WAY PAST Q ONE, AND YOU DON'T SHOW THAT THE DESIGN STARTS UNTIL Q TWO. 
          IT'S OF 2023. 
          IT'S CALENDAR YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          SO WE'RE IN QUARTER ONE CALENDAR YEAR. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OF 2023. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          BUT YOU, YOU SAID WE'RE AT 15% ALREADY, AND THIS, THIS SAYS THAT WE DON'T START THE DESIGN UNTIL Q TWO. 
          CORRECT. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU TODAY THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY CORGAN FOR ALL OF THE ADVANCED PLANNING, THE ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNING, ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNING WORK THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THAT GETS US THE BRIDGING DOCUMENTS TO BEGIN THE DESIGN WORK TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          OKAY. 
          AS IT RELATES TO PROJECT DEFINITION DOCUMENTS, AS IT RELATES TO PROJECT DEFINITION MANUALS, AND ENSURING THAT WHEN WE HAND THIS OVER AND BEGIN TO START ON THE 30% DESIGN, THAT IS, IS THE BRIDGING PIECE THAT HAPPENS THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          I, I, I'M JUST, UH, MAYBE THAT'S QUIBBLING, BUT I, I THINK YOU'VE ACTUALLY STARTED THE DESIGN AND IF YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE AT 15%, WE'VE STARTED THE ACTUAL DESIGN FOR THIS, BUT, OKAY. 
          UH, MY CONCERN IS HOW FAR ARE YOU GONNA BE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS TO WHEN YOU'LL COMPLETE THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE AIRLINES? BECAUSE THEY MIGHT WANT SOMETHING, OR NOT WANT SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE ALREADY PRO GONE DOWN THAT PATH OF DOING THE DESIGN? OR ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO REWORK DESIGN BASED ON WHATEVER THE AIRLINES WANT? NO, SIR. 
          WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION AS, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WITH REGARDS TO, YOU KNOW, THE 24 MONTH PIVOT FROM THE ONE PLUS ONE PLUS FIVE AGREEMENT. 
          IT'S THE REASONING WHY WE HAVE MADE THAT SHIFT TO ENSURE THAT THE AIRLINES ARE GONNA BE VERY INVOLVED AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE AIRLINE USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT AND THE DESIGN WORK. 
          THEY WILL HAND, THEY WILL, UH, BRING ON WHAT WE CALL AN A T R, AN AIRLINE TECHNICAL REP THAT WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THE DESIGN ELEMENTS AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          AND THEY WILL BE WORKING WITH US HAND IN HAND AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO WE'RE NOT GONNA BE REDOING DESIGNS OR CHANGING DESIGNS FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD ONCE THIS, THESE LEASES ARE SIGNED AND CONSUMMATED AND, AND THEY'RE GOOD TO GO? THAT IS CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WELL, UH, THAT'S WHAT MY, ONE OF MY CONCERNS ARE. 
          WE'RE MARCHING OFF WITH THE DESIGN ON THIS THING, BUT WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE DEALS WORKED OUT WITH THE AIRLINES ON WHAT THEY'RE GONNA AGREE TO. 
          I I THINK THEY'RE IN PARALLEL AND IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE WISHES, THE WANTS AND THE NEEDS OF THE AIRLINES. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHY I'VE STATED IT A NUMBER OF TIMES. 
          THE AIRLINE PARTNERSHIP IS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WHERE EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SLIDE NUMBER, 
          [01:55:01]
UH, 17, I GUESS. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, I'M LOOKING . 
          OKAY, THIS IS, UH, THE EXISTING, WHICH IS GREAT. 
          AND THEN WHAT WE'RE GONNA BUILD IN THE NEW TERMINAL. 
          WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO TO TERMINAL A AND B IN, IN THIS, IN THIS PHASE? SO I, I WILL TELL YOU THERE, THERE ARE SOME, SOME SMALL WORKS THAT WE'VE STARTED TO THINK ABOUT OF HOW WE CAN IMPROVE, UH, TO COUNCIL MEMBER K'S COMMENTS ON THE OVERALL, UH, PASSENGER FACILITATION PROCESS. 
          HOW CAN WE IMPROVE ON THOSE ELEMENTS? UM, BUT WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT GOING IN AND REDOING TERMINAL A AND B, WE'RE JUST, THIS, THIS BRIEFING IS ONLY FOR TERMINAL C FOR THE NEW TERMINAL. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, UM, THAT CONCERNS ME BECAUSE TERMINAL A AND B, THOSE PASSENGERS COMING IN AND OUT OF TERMINAL A AND B MAY NOT EVER SEE TERMINAL C THAT ON, ON EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TO BRING IT UP TO MODERN STANDARDS. 
          SO I, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT TERMINAL A AND B AS WELL ON, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WIDENING, YOU KNOW, HAVING WIDER WIDTHS FOR TERMINAL C. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR A AND B I, I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE NEED TO LOOK BEYOND JUST BUILDING A NEW TERMINAL. 
          YEAH. 
          WE NEED TO LOOK, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO WIDEN, MODERNIZE, BRING IN THE AMENITIES TO TERMINAL A AND B ALSO, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF OUR PASSENGERS ARE GONNA BE CONTINUING TO BE COMING IN AND OUT. 
          UM, AGREED. 
          DURING, DURING THE FUTURE HERE, SO AGREED TERMINAL, WHAT'S THE PLAN? TERMINAL B WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          SO AS WE START TO, YOU KNOW, BEGIN THE EARLY ELEMENTS OF WHAT WE CALL A CENTRAL TERMINAL AREA OR A CENTRAL PROCESSOR. 
          SO WE WANT TO MAKE THAT CONNECTIVITY WITH TODAY'S EXISTING B TERMINAL AND THEN THE NEW TERMINAL AS IT RELATES TO TERMINAL A, IT HAS REACHED ITS LIFE EXPECTANCY. 
          SO WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO THERE. 
          WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN STILL GET ANOTHER FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS OUT OF THAT, BUT AFTER THAT IT'S DEMOLITION. 
          IT'S A MATTER OF STARTING PHASE TWO OF THIS ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND BEGIN TO DO TO TERMINAL A WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY TO THE NEW TERMIL COMPLEX THAT WILL BE CONNECTED TO TERMINAL B. 
          THAT'S WHAT I REALLY WANTED TO HEAR. 
          JESUS. 
          AND, AND I'LL, I'LL CHIME BACK IN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN PERRY? YES, SIR. 
          COUNCILMAN O BRAVO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          JESUS. 
          CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT KIND OF INTEREST YOU'VE HAD FROM OUR MAJOR CLIENTS? OUR, OUR MA I GUESS OUR MAJOR AIRLINES AND OTHER CLIENTS IN AN EXPANSION AS FAR AS THEIR INTEREST? YEAH. 
          WE MEET WITH THEM, UM, WITH, WITH FREQUENCY, SIR. 
          AND I CAN TELL YOU, UM, WE HAVE SHARED WITH THEM THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND THEY'RE VERY INVOLVED AND PARTICIPATORY AND HAVE SHOWN GENERAL SUPPORT FOR THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING. 
          GREAT. 
          SO, UM, I KNOW THERE'S SOME PEOPLE HAVE HESITATION IN, UM, IS THIS AN INVESTMENT WE SHOULD BE MAKING? DO WE, YOU KNOW, WHAT IF WE, UM, DO YOU KNOW, DO WE WANT TO EXPAND OUR AIRPORT? AND IT REMINDS ME OF, UH, A CONVERSATION THAT I OVERHEARD ONCE IN A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WHERE, UH, I GUESS A BUSINESS LEADER WAS SAYING, YOU KNOW, WHAT, IF I SEND ALL MY STAFF TO YOUR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, AND THEN THEY LEAVE AND THEY GO WORK FOR OTHER COMPANIES. 
          AND THE LEADERSHIP TRAINERS SAID, WHAT IF YOU DON'T SEND THEM TO LEADERSHIP TRAINING AND THEY STAY WITH YOUR COMPANY? RIGHT. 
          AND SO I THINK THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IF OUR CITY CONTINUES TO GROW AND THEN WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS DEMAND AND WE DON'T EXPAND OUR AIRPORT. 
          AND THAT'S NOT A POSITION THAT I WANT TO BE IN. 
          UM, WHEN I LOOK AT THE DESIGN, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THE, THESE, UM, THESE CONCEPTS. 
          I LOVE NATURAL WOOD FINISHES. 
          UH, I LOVE ON SLIDE 15, THE, THE FLOOR TO CEILING GLASS THERE THAT ALLOWS A LOT OF NATURAL DAYLIGHT IN THERE. 
          UM, AND I, I LIKE THE, THE GLASS CEILING, YOU KNOW, UM, WITH THE NATURAL DAYLIGHT THERE. 
          I ALSO HAVE SOME CONCERNS, JUST LIKE SOME OF MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES ABOUT, YOU KNOW, UH, WHAT DOES THAT DO FROM A, FROM AN ENERGY USE STANDPOINT? AND I, I THINK OF IT REMINDS ME TO SOME EXTENT OF THE, THE EXTENSION BUILDINGS AT THE STATE CAPITOL AND, UH, YOU KNOW, BUT THOSE, THEY HAVE THOSE THERE BECAUSE THOSE, THE CAPITOL EXTENSIONS ARE BURIED. 
          THEY'RE UNDER, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LIKE BASEMENT BUILDINGS, AND THAT'S THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO HAVE, UH, DAYLIGHT COMING INTO THERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES HERE. 
          AND SO I, I DO HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, BUT ALSO, LIKE, WHEN IT COMES TO SENSE OF PLACE, I, I THINK WE DO NEED A SENSE OF PLACE. 
          AND I, I, I DON'T FEEL IT FROM THESE RENDERINGS. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT THE GOAL IS TO GET IT THERE THROUGH THE ART ONCE THAT'S BROUGHT IN. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I, I JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, I QUESTION WHETHER WHEN YOU WALK INTO THIS, YOU KNOW, MINUS THE ART, THAT WOULD BE PART OF, IN THE END, 
          [02:00:01]
UM, HOW YOU, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T, I DON'T GET ANY POODLE SAN ANTONIO FEEL. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND SO I'D FEEL LIKE YOU COULD BE IN DENVER, YOU COULD BE IN AUSTIN. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          UM, SO THAT'S JUST MY FEEDBACK. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER BRAVO. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER GRO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, JESUS, TODAY IS THE DAY I FEEL LIKE WE, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, SINCE I GOT ELECTED. 
          'CAUSE YOU WERE ONE OF MY FIRST MEETINGS. 
          I LIKE TO TELL THAT STORY. 
          UM, CAN ALL THE AIRPORT TEAM THAT IS HERE, 'CAUSE I KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE STANDING IN THE BACK. 
          CAN Y'ALL PLEASE STAND THE AIRPORT TEAM? I KNOW, UH, SOME OF Y'ALL DIDN'T STAND EARLIER WHEN HE, I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. 
          YES. 
          AND LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. 
          JESUS ALWAYS REMINDS ME THAT THIS IS A TEAM EFFORT. 
          AND I FEEL LIKE I TALK TO YOU GUYS MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE OF STENSON, BUT, UH, THAT MIGHT BE AN EXAGGERATION, BUT I FEEL LIKE I DO. 
          AND SO WHEN, UH, I GOT THIS BRIEFING AND, AND YOU TALKED ABOUT THE HIGH CONCEPT AND, AND THE RENDERINGS, AND I SAID, I DON'T WANNA SEE THEM NOW. 
          I WANNA BE SURPRISED. 
          AND I AM, I'M VERY IMPRESSED. 
          I'M EXCITED. 
          UM, IT REMINDS ME OF WHEN MY PREDECESSOR WAS HERE AND THEY TALKED ABOUT THE CONVENTION CENTER AND WHAT THEY WERE GONNA DO AT THE CONVENTION CENTER, AND THEY BROUGHT IN THE RENDERINGS AND YOU'RE LIKE, HOW'S THAT GONNA WORK? AND NOW WE SEE IT AND IT WORKS SO WELL AND BRING SO MUCH BUSINESS TO SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO I THINK THAT, THAT THIS IS THE GOOD, THIS IS A GOOD STEP. 
          I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS. 
          UM, I, I AM, MY ONE QUESTION IS THE BUDGET TO KEEP ALL THOSE WINDOWS CLEAN. 
          I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT. 
          AND, UM, I THINK THAT SKYLIGHT TOO, UH, IS ANOTHER ONE. 
          BUT, AND I WILL FULL, YOU KNOW, TRANSPARENCY, NOT A FAN OF SKYLIGHTS, BUT YOU KNOW, IT, I JUST, I, I FEEL LIKE THERE IS THE BEGINNING OF A SENSE OF PLACE. 
          AND AS MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES, UM, TALKED ABOUT, WHEN WE BRING IN THE ART, WHEN WE BRING IN THE PROGRAMMING, UM, THERE WILL BE, UM, THERE WILL BE MORE OF THAT SAN ANTONIO FEEL, UM, AS YOU GET IN OTHER AIRPORTS IF YOU TRAVEL TO LONDON OR COSTA RICA OR CHICAGO. 
          UM, THE ONE THING I, I DID WANT TO, UH, SHARE IN TERMS OF WHAT I THINK Y'ALL HAVE DONE ALREADY IN CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE FOR OUR SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS THE ADDITION OF ROSARIOS AND LA GLORIA. 
          BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I CAN GET THERE EARLY AND I CAN HAVE A MARGARITA AND HAVE SOME FOOD AT EITHER OF THOSE PLACES BEFORE I TAKE OFF TO MY TRAVELS. 
          AND I THINK WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PEOPLE COMING IN, IF WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT LOCAL FEEL, THEY'LL KNOW, GREAT, I HAVE JUST ENOUGH LAYOVER TIME TO GET SOME ROSARIOS OR GET SOME LAGUARDIA IF THAT, IF ALL THE TERMINAL IS CONNECTED AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH. 
          SO JOB WELL DONE. 
          I KNOW THIS IS A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT. 
          AND IT FEELS LIKE, I KNOW TO YOU IT PROBABLY FEELS LIKE AN IRON MAN, BUT, BUT WELL DONE ON TODAY. 
          UH, ENJOY IT. 
          AND THERE WILL BE MANY MORE CONVERSATIONS TO HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER GRO, COUNCIL MEMBER MCKEE RODRIGUEZ. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THIS IS, UH, AN EXCITING PRESENTATION. 
          AND I KNOW, LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR, IT'S VERY LONG TERM, AND SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE PATIENT. 
          UH, BEFORE WE SEE ALL OF THIS COME TO FRUITION. 
          I DO HAVE A FEW, UM, QUESTIONS, UH, GUIDED BY SOME OF MY EXPECTATIONS AND PRIORITIES. 
          UM, I KNOW QUITE A FEW OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE MENTIONED SUSTAINABILITY, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME AS WELL. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT I HEARD. 
          UM, THIS IS VERY, THIS IS ALMOST MINOR. 
          IS, UM, IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE, UH, RECYCLED MATERIALS IN, UH, ANY OF THE, JUST AT ALL? YEAH. 
          NO. 
          THERE, THERE IS. 
          AND, AND WE HAVEN'T GOT, WE'RE NOT THAT FAR JUST YET. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL IN THE EARLY INITIAL PHASES OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          WE'RE COMING OUT OF PLANNING AND GETTING INTO DESIGN. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, UH, WHAT WE'RE MOVING AS QUICKLY AS, AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. 
          THE NEXT PHASES ARE WHEN WE START TO ESTABLISH, AS YOU'VE HEARD A NUMBER OF COMMENTS TODAY WITH REGARDS TO SENSE OF PLACE. 
          AND WE START TO GET INTO THE UTILIZATION OF MATERIAL. 
          UM, I, I'VE JOKED A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH THE CITY MANAGER, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WALK INTO THE AIRPORT AND YOU COME INTO SAN ANTONIO, WHETHER YOU'RE SITTING ON THE RIVER WALK, WHETHER YOU GO TO, YOU KNOW, UH, THE AREA OUT THERE BY LARA OR WHETHER, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU'RE AT, THERE'S A LARGE UTILIZATION OF LIMESTONE. 
          AND WE DON'T DO THAT AT THE AIRPORT AT ALL. 
          RIGHT? AND THAT'S LOCALLY FROM HERE. 
          SO HOW DO WE INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE MATERIALS STILL TO BE 
          [02:05:01]
DETERMINED? UM, AND, AND WHETHER THEY'RE RECYCLED OR REUSABLE MATERIALS, WHETHER IT'S THE COLOR OF PAINT, WHETHER IT'S THE FLOORING, WHETHER IT'S THE TEXTILES, THERE'S STILL A LOT TO BE DONE TO BEGIN TO INCORPORATE AND ADD THAT INTO THE SENSE OF PLACE OF WHO WE ARE. 
          SO THAT WHEN YOU WALK IN, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE AT THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          I THINK YOU HIT ON SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT THAT I WANTED TO SAY, WHICH IS THAT THE, THE SENSE OF PLACE DOESN'T NECESSARILY COME FROM THE ART THAT WE PUT ON THE WALL OR ANY OF THE, LIKE THE, ANY SCULPTURES OR ANYTHING THAT IT'S GONNA COME FROM, UM, WHAT YOU BUILD AND WHAT YOU CONSTRUCT. 
          AND IT SHOULD FEEL VERY INTENTIONAL. 
          UM, I WON'T HARP ON THE TOPIC OF SUSTAINABILITY TOO MUCH, 'CAUSE A LOT OF MY COLLEAGUES BROUGHT UP A LOT OF THE MAJOR THINGS. 
          BUT I DO WANT US TO BE AS AMBITIOUS AS POSSIBLE. 
          AND I THINK WHENEVER WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, TO START NEW PROJECTS AND TO REDO, UH, SOME OF MAYBE THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST, I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, AIM TO BE THE BEST, TO AIM, TO BE THE BEST, TO SET RECORDS TO, UH, ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF STANDARDS AND SUSTAINABILITY AND OTHER PART OTHER ELEMENTS OF DESIGN. 
          AND SO THAT'S, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US BE AS AMBITIOUS AS POSSIBLE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UM, IN SORT OF THE SAME VEIN OF SENSE OF PLACE, UM, I'M WONDERING, IS THERE, UM, WHAT DOES THE STRATEGY THERE LOOK LIKE? AND I, I HAVE HEARD A FEW OF MY COLLEAGUES BRING UP, UH, OTHER CUL ORGANIZATIONS. 
          AND WHAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE IS THE INVOLVEMENT OF CULTURAL ENTITIES LIKE, UM, SAY CAMM IN THE I, THE BEHOLDER ART GALLERY, UM, CHARLES WILLIAMS MUSEUM AND MORE. 
          AND I'M LISTING, UH, PRIMARILY FOLK ON THE EAST SIDE. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S THE PEOPLE I KNOW, AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THEY'RE INCLUDED. 
          BUT THAT'S A SIGN THAT'S SIGNIFICANT TO ALL SIDES OF TOWN. 
          AND SO CAN YOU EXPRESS A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT THAT LOOKS, WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE? CERTAINLY. 
          SO I, I, I'M GONNA ASK MATT EVANS TO COME UP HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE DO IN ARTS TODAY, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHEN YOU'LL REALLY GET TO APPRECIATE ART. 
          MATT SERVES AS OUR ART CREATOR, AND THERE'S NO WAY I CAN REMEMBER ALL THE THINGS HE DOES. 
          HE DOES IN A LOT OF INCREDIBLE THINGS. 
          SO I'LL LET HIM TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE DO TODAY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU, JESUS. 
          AND FANTASTIC QUESTION. 
          A LOT OF OUR CULTURAL ENTITIES IN TOWN WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY IS RICH AND FULL OF THESE ENTITIES, AND IT'S HARD TO HAVE, UH, ALL OF THEM SIMULTANEOUSLY ALL AT ONCE. 
          SORT OF EVERYTHING, ALL THINGS ALL AT ONCE. 
          BUT A LOT OF THE GROUPS YOU MENTIONED, CERTAINLY WE PARTNERED WITH, SAY, CAMM FOR A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS IN THE PAST. 
          AND WE CONTINUE, UH, TO DO THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          WE LOOK TOWARDS THE NEW FACILITY AND THE NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND THE NEW PLATFORMS THAT PROVIDES FOR OUR CULTURAL ENTITIES TO SHARE WITH THE TRAVELING PUBLIC, WHO WE ARE AS A CITY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND I'LL THANK YOU FOR THAT RESPONSE AND, UM, I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING A PART OF MORE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND FURTHER THAT. 
          AND, UM, ONE OF THE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES, I THINK, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE TOPIC OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AS IT RELATES TO THE AIRPORT, AND I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DRAW VISITORS TO, UM, PARTS OF TOWN THAT DON'T TYPICALLY REAP THE BENEFITS OF TOURISM. 
          UM, WHICH BRINGS ME TO, UM, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY. 
          AND SO I'M WONDERING HOW WE, UH, PLAN TO USE TECHNOLOGY AND STRATEGIC WAYS SUCH AS, UM, I THINK OF THE TRADITIONAL WAYFINDERS THAT NAVIGATE YOU THROUGH THE AIRPORT, BUT ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE, UM, OUR CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS AND VISIT SAN ANTONIO FOR, UH, HOLISTIC WAYFINDING THROUGHOUT THE CITY? THERE, THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND I'LL ASK CORRIGAN IF YOU GUYS WANT TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT, THAT YOU'RE ALREADY, UH, THINKING ABOUT. 
          BUT AS WE LOOK AT 'EM TODAY, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER AND WHAT WE DO, UM, YOU, YOU TALK ABOUT BIOMETRICS AND FACIAL RECOGNITION AS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THE TICKETING AND THE ARRIVAL, RIGHT? UH, UH, ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE PROCESS. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE BEING UPDATED AS THERE'S TRANSFORMATIONS AND SHIFTS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITHIN OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND OUR AIRLINES. 
          WE TOO NEED TO SHIFT AND ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE READILY PREPARED TO BE ABLE TO, UH, ACCEPT AND UTILIZE ALL THOSE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES. 
          THERE'S YIELD MANAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST IN THE PARKING AREA. 
          SO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WAYS WHERE WE CAN USE EITHER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OR AUGMENTED REALITY INTO WHAT WE DO TODAY. 
          AND I'LL, IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA OFFER, WE'LL GET INTO, INTO THE COMMERCIAL PHASE, . 
          WE'LL TRY TO AVOID THAT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT HOW TO INCORPORATE WAYFINDING AND TECHNOLOGY, I, I THINK, LIKE JOE WAS MENTIONING EARLIER ABOUT ALWAYS TALK, TAKING PASSIVE APPROACHES TO SUSTAINABILITY AND SOME OTHER THINGS. 
          FIRST WE LIKE TO THINK ABOUT WAYFINDING IS WHAT IS THE MOST PASSIVE AND INTUITIVE WAY THAT WE CAN START TO GET PEOPLE THROUGH THE BUILDING? BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY WAY YOU, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET THERE, JUST COMPLETELY PASSIVE. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING AT WAYS TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGIES, WHETHER THAT IS WITHIN WAYFINDING OR A DIGITIZATION SO THAT WE CAN CREATE SPACES WITHIN THE BUILDING WHERE IT'S VERY DELIBERATE. 
          IT CAN BE INFORMATIONAL AT ONE POINT. 
          IT CAN 
          [02:10:01]
BE ADVERTISING AT ONE POINT. 
          IT CAN BE GENERAL WAY FINDING OR INFORMATION. 
          A GREAT EXAMPLE IS, UM, D F W AIRPORT JUST RECENTLY OPENED UP SOME GATES THAT RELY ON THIS, WHERE THE INFORMATION CHANGES AS YOU SIT THERE WITHIN THE SPACE, AND IT KIND OF SCROLLS THROUGH DIFFERENT INFORMATION. 
          SOMETIMES IT'S WAY FINDING, SOMETIMES IT'S INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DESTINATION OR ABOUT YOUR GATE, BUT IT'S A WAY TO ENGAGE THE PASSENGERS WITHIN THE, THE GATE SEATING AREA ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT THEY'RE DOING, WHAT IT IS THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE, WHERE IT IS THAT THEY'RE GOING. 
          SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGIES. 
          AND THIS IDEA ABOUT DIGITIZATION IS A HUGE COMPONENT. 
          UH, JESUS ALSO ALLUDED TO IT THOUGH, IS THAT WE'RE, WE'RE SITTING HERE IN, IN 2023 TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT NEED TO BE IN PLACE IN 2028. 
          SO IT'S INCORPORATING FLEXIBILITY THROUGHOUT OUR DESIGN THAT ALLOWS US TO ADAPT WHAT THAT IS AS NEW TECHNOLOGIES COME ONTO THE MARKET. 
          BECAUSE IF WE PLAN FOR WHAT'S THERE TODAY, WE'LL, WE'LL, IT'LL ALL BE OLD NEWS BY THE TIME WE OPEN THAT, THAT NEW FACILITY. 
          SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALWAYS INCORPORATING ENOUGH, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE AND ADAPT TO WHAT IS GONNA BE HITTING THE MARKET WHEN WE, WHEN WE OPEN THE NEW TERMINAL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I GUESS I'LL, UM, I'LL END BY STATING THAT HOTELS AND AIRPORTS ARE KIND OF THE SAME. 
          UM, I HAVE THE SAME SORT OF FEELING OF LUXURY. 
          UM, IF I KNOW I'M GONNA STAY AT A HOTEL OR IF I'M GOING TO GO TO THE AIRPORT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT GROWING UP I DIDN'T GET TO DO VERY OFTEN. 
          AND SO I THINK OF IT AS AN EXPERIENCE, AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT, UH, THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY. 
          AND SO, UM, WHEN I'M THINKING OF BEING, UH, INNOVATIVE WITH TECHNOLOGY AND, AND OTHER WAYS, I WANT US TO, UM, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO CHALLENGE EVERYONE TO BE AS INNOVATIVE AS POSSIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO, UM, THE USER, THE EXPERIENCE OF, OF THE FLYER AND TRAVELER IN REDUCING OR, UH, IN STREAMLINING THE MORE MUNDANE THINGS, THE MORE BORING EXPERIENCES, BUT CREATING, UH, AN EXPERIENCE IN OUR AIRPORT THAT'S UNLIKE ANY OTHER. 
          AND I THINK WE'RE ALL KIND OF GETTING ON THAT, AND THAT'S WHAT SENSE OF PLACE IS. 
          BUT THAT'S, I WANTED TO CONVEY THAT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER MCKEE RODRIGUEZ. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          UM, JESUS, UM, THE REASON I WAS ASKING ABOUT HOW WE'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS, BECAUSE I, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE, ARE WE GONNA MAINTAIN OUR COMPETITIVENESS IN THE FUTURE ON HOW MUCH WE CHARGE PER PASSENGER AND HOW MUCH THE AIRLINES CHARGE PER PASSENGER ON IN EMPLOYMENTS, UH, COMING IN AND OUTTA SAN ANTONIO HERE. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. 
          TO MAKE, SEE WHERE WE'RE GONNA STACK UP IN THE PECKING ORDER, UH, WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, AND HOW WE'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS IN THE FUTURE. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I KEEP ASKING THAT IS ARE WE GONNA STAY COMPETITIVE WITH SURROUNDING AIRPORTS, PARTICULARLY IN AUSTIN? SO THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S WHY I KEEP ASKING THAT. 
          UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHAT I WOULD'VE LIKED TO SEEN, AND WE'RE FOCUSING IN ON TERMINALS OR, OR THE NEW TERMINAL HERE, UH, WHAT ARE THOSE OTHER PHASES? 'CAUSE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT AND YOU MENTIONED ABOUT TEARING DOWN TERMINAL A AND, AND REBUILDING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, EXTENDING THE RUNWAY, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT ARE THOSE ADDITIONAL PHASES SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST FOCUSING IN ON TERMINALS, THE NEW TERMINAL, THAT WE HAVE OTHER PHASES COMING OUT, AND HERE'S WHAT OUR EXPECT EXPECTED COSTS ARE GONNA BE IN THE FUTURE ALSO FOR THE AIRPORT. 
          SO I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT, UH, AND I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE THIS, UH, A SLIDE THAT SHOWS, OKAY, WHAT ARE THESE PHASES AND WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT TO SEE IN THE FUTURE, WHETHER IT'S TWO YEARS OR 20 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD FOR OUR AIRPORT HERE. 
          SO WE'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT. 
          UH, AND I REALLY LIKED, UH, THERE WAS A SLIDE THAT SHOWED, UH, UM, THE MILITARY AND THE MILITARY CITY, UH, UH, U S A THEME THAT I HOPE CONTINUES ON THERE. 
          I, I HOPE TO SEE THE JENNY STILL HANGING IN ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE TERMINALS, UH, UP THERE. 
          AND I THINK I MENTIONED IT BEFORE, UH, THAT BECAUSE WE HAD THE VERY FIRST MILITARY FLIGHT HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, AND THAT NEEDS TO BE ACCENTUATED. 
          UH, ALONG WITH THAT, OUR MILITARY MEDICINE THAT WE, UH, UH, ARE CURRENTLY AND, AND WILL BE DOING THAT IN THE FUTURE, TRAINING ALL OF MILITARY MEDICINE. 
          THIS IS THEIR FIRST STOP HERE IN SAN ANTONIO OUT THERE AT, UH, FORT SAM. 
          SO, UH, TALKED ABOUT HANGING A HUEY UP THERE SOMEWHERE IN, IN ONE OF THE TERMINALS. 
          SO I HOPE THAT, UH, WE CONTINUE THOSE THEMES WITH THE NEW TERMINAL OR NEW TERMINALS IN THE FUTURE, UH, TO INCORPORATE THOSE. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST SO NEAT TO SEE AIRPLANES OR HELICOPTERS OR WHATEVER HANGING FROM THE CEILINGS. 
          IT REALLY GRABS YOUR ATTENTION AND, AND, UH, MAKES IT INTERESTING, UH, YOU KNOW, IN, IN AIRPORTS ACROSS 
          [02:15:01]
THE US. 
          SO, UM, YEAH, WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE WHAT THOSE NEXT PHASES ARE AND, UM, PARTICULARLY WHAT IT'S GONNA COST US AND HOW WE'RE GONNA PAY. 
          AND I'LL, I'LL KEEP ASKING THAT QUESTION AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO 12 TO 14 MONTHS FROM NOW ON WHEN YOU'RE GONNA LAY THAT ALL OUT FOR US ON HOW YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS THING. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY, I THINK THAT IS COUNCIL MEMBER ROCHE GARCIA. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          I, I, I KNOW JOHN DIXON'S BEEN HERE AND HE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK, AND I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF HE WANTED TO OFFER ANY, ANY COMMENTS SINCE HE'S BEEN WORKING SO HARD. 
          SORRY, JOHN DID PUT YOU ON THE SPOT THERE. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN. 
          UH, YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE GONNA DO THAT. 
          SO, UH, LET ME JUST SAY THANK YOU. 
          UH, THIS HAS BEEN, I THINK SIX OR SEVEN YEARS, MORE OR LESS MIGHT COUNT SEVEN. 
          UH, BUT I JUST WANNA PASS ON THE FEELING THAT I HAD WHEN I SAW THESE DESIGN RENDERINGS ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. 
          MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS IT WAS WORTH IT. 
          I MEAN, SIX AND A HALF YEARS. 
          THE COMMITTEE THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH IT. 
          UH, AND SO WE WERE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, NUMBER TWO, IT WAS PER, PERHAPS MORE SYMBOLIC THAN THE AIRPORT TERMINAL ITSELF, THAT IT, IT IS IN FACT A POINT, A TURNING POINT IN SOMETHING THAT WE COULD BE PROUD OF, NOT ONLY FROM AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT, EVEN EVERYBODY THAT DOESN'T FLY, YOU COULD STILL POINT TO THE AIRPORT AND SAY, I IDENTIFY WITH THAT. 
          THAT IS A COOL THING. 
          UH, WE ARE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IN THE WIND COLUMN AND SAY, THAT WAS WHEN WE DID THAT. 
          SO, ON BEHALF OF THE A S D C AND, UH, MARK FESSEL AND THE A A C, THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE HERE. 
          IF YOU COULD STAND UP, THE GUYS THAT ARE STILL HERE ARE, THEY'RE, THEY ARE STANDING. 
          UH, JUST SAY THANKS FOR THE SIX PLUS YEARS. 
          UH, THIS WAS A GREAT EFFORT, UH, JESUS AND TEAM, I, I SINCERELY BELIEVE, UH, THAT WE HAVE TO MOVE FAST BECAUSE WE HAVE THE RIGHT PLAYERS IN PLACE. 
          WE HAVE AN AIRPORT TEAM THAT'S COMPRISED OF AIRPORT PEOPLE, UH, THAT WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY STOLEN FROM OTHER AIRPORTS AND AIRLINES AND PUT THEM TOGETHER. 
          SO WE GOTTA MOVE QUITE QUICKLY WHILE WE HAVE THIS TEAM. 
          SO, UH, I WANNA LOOK BACK WITH THIS WITH PRIDE. 
          I THINK ALL OF US ARE HAPPY THAT WE'VE HAD A SMALL PART OF, OF DOING THIS, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCIL. 
          UH, AND WE CAN'T GO QUICKLY ENOUGH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JOHN. 
          AND, AND, UM, THAT IS THE BALANCE OF OUR CONVERSATION NOW. 
          SO I CAN'T REALLY THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER THAN TO DO, THAN TO, UH, JUST ONCE AGAIN FROM THE AIRPORT TEAM, OUR CONSULTANTS TO THE A S D C MEMBERS. 
          LET'S GIVE YOU ALL ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE. 
          SO ONWARD AND UPWARD. 
          OKAY. 
          THE TIME IS 4:18 PM ON THE 15TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2023, AND OUR CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED. 
          WE'LL BE BACK AT 5:00 PM FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
