Um, next, our public hearing for a real estate sale agreement with the consolidated city of Indianapolis.

Eric Anderson.

Good morning, President, members of the board.

Um this agenda on it today is as president status for the sale of the heliport um to the consolidated city of Indianapolis by and through its Department of Metropolitan Development.

The heliport is located at 51 South New Jersey Street.

So it's a pleasure to have them both here today.

This process uh of getting it to this point uh began in December of 2000.

That's when we first submitted to the FAA on the closure of the Hellport.

Um that submission to them went back and forth for obviously several years.

But that next step that happened then was we entered into a memorandum of understanding with the city of Indianapolis.

And then jumping forward, I don't I don't want to call the FA details along the way.

It was lengthy, but in uh December of December of uh November of 2024, the IAA received a letter from the FA.

It's titled intent to release all federal obligations and approve heliport closure.

That is the letter uh that provides us the approval to close the heliport.

There are bits and pieces that we need to do that we've kept you informed about.

Those are more of a technical nature of shutting down aeronautical pieces, whether that's paperwork or physically doing things.

Um that then that's November 24, December of 24, then the IAA and the city entered into an option.

And we come today with the real estate agreement for that transaction.

So uh a little bit on the transactions 5.359 acres, a very pod-shaped property, as you can see.

Um the total purchase price is 10 million eight hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars.

Um we we derived that figure from uh FA process, which uh we we get two appraisals.

We usually would average them in and wait to go, but fa related if if the transaction is over a million dollars, you have to get it as well.

So that's what happened.

We we used uh Snell and Associates and Terzo and Bologna for the first two appraisals uh we've used them for years and others for years, but they're very good at what they do.

Review appraisal gorgeous real estate services is as well.

Uh very very good at their trade.

So we arrive at that 10 million eight hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars.

Yeah.

Um we do go to closing.

Um we do go to closing uh ninety percent of those funds are related to FA grant process.

Five percent is related to NDOT grants.

So at the end of the day, those funds have to be PU's in a particular way or approved by the FAA.

Um that one of the biggest things going through this process with the FAA was what is the net benefit to aviation for closing the heliport?

And we did that back and forth with the FA for some time.

But the net benefit in general terms is those funds, those FA grant funds and indoc funds will be redevelopment of runway 725 out of Indian.

Okay, so there's the net benefit to aviation.

Cash-wise about 543, 750 that'll be put into our land fund where we have used those funds for different things maybe the hotel development.

Um at this point in time then I'll stop.

Oh quick question.

Is the so the FAA decommissioned?

What was the proper work or uh action taken by the FAA?

Taken by them?

Yes.

Well, so in general terms, every pilot has cheap within a rather large book or electronic where they can pick and choose where they want to fly to.

That's gonna be removed from there.

That's one thing.

So there's some paperwork, there's official paperwork says about literally the closing of the health board.

There's uh closing of of approach systems, and then we have physically things that we have to do.

We have to take away all the aeronautical pieces of the health, but that'll happen.

The FA process is pretty simple at this point.

All the hard work's already been done leading up to this letter.

I was yeah, they really don't have uh much more to do in this process.

Thank you.

Okay.

With that, shall we open the uh public hearing for our uh board memo VP 2025-10-1?

Um first of all, Ellen, have we gotten any comments from the public?

And have we got anything?

We've moved okay.

Um I will open it open it to the public here to see if there's any comments or questions from the public on this section.

Okay, hearing none, we will close close the public hearing.

I'm gonna let Eric talk about some.

Okay, items consider for approval board memo BP 2025-10-0 regarding certain real estate sale agreement with the consolidated city of Indianapolis, Mary County buying through its department of metropolitan development for the sale of approximately 5.359 acres located at 51 South New Jersey Street, Indianapolis, Indiana for a total sale amount of 10 million eight hundred and seventy-five thousand.

Do we have a motion?

So moved on the second.

Any discussion.

We'll take a vote.

For BP 2025-10-1.

You have a first motion by Jeff Gaither, second motion by Brett Voorhees, aye.

Aye.

Brian Goodwin.

Aye.

McClaremar?

I Schlitter?

All right.

Voorhees?

Aye.

President, you have your hands.

Thank you.

One thing I guess want to add for the staff here.

I I think the board might like to have a little um involvement in how this this money is spent.

So I think maybe we can add and maybe our finance committee or uh just the board as a whole, because I I've heard some ideas that people had.

Oh next is a public.

I I agree with that completely.

I'm just curious from a budgetary standpoint.

2026 budget.

Did you anticipate is this anticipated?

I know I should know that, but is it anticipated in the budget?

Really, this is grant funds.

So the thought of what Eric already has said is that FAA has to approve 95% 90%, and then state will do that.

So the thought of directing this staff can suggest FAA makes the final decision on where those funds get done, but it was considered a uh dissipated grant or yeah, funding source, but um contingent grant.

That's the word I was looking for.

So yes, that thought of there being contingent funding for uh that runaway process.

This will be called bought back by 90 95% of the uh fair market value because only five percent of the original cost funded, and they the FAA says spend a dollar and it turns into a hundred thousand, then you only have five percent of that.

So that they give that that increase of basis.

The good part is that more than likely that the grants that we receive will continue.

Yeah, this is icing on the cake on top of all the other grants, although it's prescriptive as to how we have to use funds.

It doesn't negate us getting additional grants.

It's uh in addition to the we'll use the brands now the five percent.

We'll have a conversation about how the board would like to deploy that five percent.

Um, did the FAA think we had to use the money for the runway?

It's very prescriptive.

No, not the runway.

We could use it for any sort of like FAA approved project.

So in other words, okay, runways, taxiways, things that you would normally associate with grant funding are part of things that we have to use.

We could use it for the baggage system, use it for it's it's I hate to say the word fungible, but within the FAA area it's fungible.

But Madam President's request is at a fact committee meeting.

This is an agenda item and uh absolutely and send it back to the full court.

Okay, thank you.

We'll be more than glad to do that.

Thank you.

Great, thank you.

We had to stay public funds that does it and that's rock solid.

We can always go back to the FAST, which we can moving on to the public hearing for the um uniform property or easement acquisition offer with a consolidated city of Indianapolis.

Eric Anderson.

Okay, this transaction is for the sale of land and temporary easement related to the widening of girls' school road.

So uh the distance for this project uh starts at our north perimeter road and heads north to 21st Street.

Our portion of this you if they're in the hatched areas on both sides of girls' school road, um, that's what we'll be selling to this city, and then they the green is also uh selling that's we we own the underlying land of that green area, and that will be sold to them as well.

So this is a relatively small transaction of 69 uh thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars.

This land does not fall within the uh airport ALP.

So there's no we don't have to go to the FA for approval on this.

The regular real estate transaction, and uh that is what I have for you.

Okay, but that will open the public hearing for this.

I will ask Ellen again if we've had any comments, no comments questions, nothing online open up to the public.

Any comments about this sale.

Seeing none, I will close the public hearing and we'll move on.

Um board memo BP 2025 by two regarding a certain uniform usement acquisition offer with the consolidated city of Indianapolis, Barron County buy-in through its department of public work for the sale of approximately 0.862 acres of land, point two nine eight acres pre-existing right-of-way land zero two six acres of temporary east located along Girl School Road, south of Washington for a total transaction of 69,859.

Okay, do we have a motion?

So moved.

Okay.

Any discussion call BP 2025-10-1.

First motion by Kurt Schlater, second motion by Brent Forge, Barbara Class.

Aye, Emma Powers?

Aye.

Hi.

Kurt Schleider.

Brett Voorhees.

Next introduction of general ordinance 03-2025.

Ellen Hurley.

Thank you, Madam President, members of the board.

This this board annually adopts an ordinance in order to implement a schedule of rates and charges for the airport's facilities and services.

This ordinance three-2025 would be the rates and charges for the year 2026.

Today it's before you only for introduction.

And at next week, there will be a public hearing and consideration for approval.

Thank you.

Next, consider for approval and adoption of resolution number 08-2025.

Marshall Burster.

Good morning, Madam President, members of the board.

Today would ask that you would consider for approval and adoption resolution 8-2025 for the Transatlantic Incentive Supplemental Plan, which offers incentives to air carriers who meet the qualifications described in the board memo uh within the packet.

So, as background, in 2022, the board approved uh the air service incentive plan and a transatlantic supplemental plan that specifically offered up to four million dollars to the first airline to bring us a transatlantic flight.

When Air Lingus brought the IND double in flight, that plan was then effectively uh suspended.

So, in order to competitively position I and D to continue to seek and um uh be out in front with our competitors for additional or new nonstop uh service into uh Europe.

We're seeking board approval today of this updated transatlantic incentive plan, which went to the finance and audit committee in September and was uh approved unanimously with the full support of the finance and audit committee to come today.

The Airlingus flight uh itself brings more than 50 million dollars of economic impact to this community uh from that flight.

It has been so successful right out of the gate.

That flight you may recall started four times per week, and they've already announced it's going to move to five times per week starting summer next year.

Uh the flight loads are around 80%, and it's doing really well.

We have been approached by uh we have we continue conversations uh around the opportunities for additional transatlantic service, even with this flight, more than 500 people per day are going to Europe from our catchment area around the Indy Airport.

Uh so this transatlantic incentive supplement will position us to be competitive in our ability to secure additional connectivity.

Uh the plan has a financial limit of three million dollars per year for up to three years and would go forward through through the finance and audit committee for budget approval each year.

So today we're seeking your approval of this resolution eight-2025 with the recommendation of the finance and audit committee.

Okay, I do have a question.

So the four million for the um aerolingus, is that a year or that was in total.

So this is nine million.

Now this one would be up to nine million in total.

We have a motion.

Second, any discussion questions.

Okay, we'll take a roll call.

For BP 2025-10-4 for resolution 08 2025.

And I would just like to thank the staff on behalf of the board for that.

Okay.

Um PP 2025-10-5 marsh.

Thank you.

Uh considered for approval on FTG operator agreement and the issuance of the grantee sponsorship letter for ISFIL USA to facilitate access to the federal foreign trade zone program.

I actually have two foreign trade zone items, which I'll be covering with you now.

I just thought I'd give a quick update to let you know how much activity has been happening in the in this year relative to interest in the foreign trade zone.

And we currently have 24 active operators who are awaiting approval.

It's the highest number of active operators we've had in the foreign trade zone uh since its inception here.

Uh and I'd like to thank Jeff Gaither, who chairs the foreign trade zone board and thank him for his support in helping us bring forward these items today with unanimous approval from the foreign trade zone board uh coming to you today.

So it's specifically it's about USA is a global manufacturer of brass and aluminum components for plumbing heating and industrial applications.

Uh this uh FTZ designation is for a facility on Fortune Circle Drive in Indianapolis.

It's 22,800 square feet.

They have five full-time employees currently uh at that facility.

They're the grantee fees that they would pay to the authority would total 24,000 dollars typically.

The Indianapolis Airport Authorities financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2025, an amount not to exceed 157,500.

Correct.

Right.

You just want to clarify.

Is it a business?

Oh sorry.

I forget.

Is it a one year or is it some other three years?

No, just this one year.

So where are we on the rate commitment?

Good morning, members of the board.

Consider for approval an award of contract for Ask and Associates for on call snow removal services for the airport parking lots at Indianapolis International Airport.

As stated, this is an on-call service.

A request for proposals was issued on August 8th, 2025, with a deadline for submittals on September 10th of 2025.

For Ask and Associates was selected as the lowest responsive and a responsible bidder.

When contracted or when contacted by the A by the IAA, the vendor has two hours to respond to the airport.

Funds in the operating budget have been approved for these services.

The annual average cost over the last three years is just under 104,000 per year.

RASC and Associates had previously held this contract, and we've been satisfied, very satisfied with their service.

The contract term is for a three-year initial term plus two one-year options.

Second any discussion, questions for Keith.

So Keith, is this is this similar to the contract they previously had?

With the options.

Okay.

That's correct.

Thank you.

Was that Ryan for a second?

Any further discussion?

Okay, we'll take it out.

For BP 2025-10-8, you have a first motion by Timika Catchings, second motion by Ryan Goodwin.

Aye.

Jeff Gaither.

Aye.

Brian Goodwin.

Aye.

All right.

Jerry Klaus.

Thank you.

Consider for approval.

Amendment number one with DLZ Indiana to increase their 2025 on-call contract in an amount not to exceed 12,000 dollars.

We utilize DLZ's on call contract to design for the installation of additional bus chargers to coincide with buses that are on order.

As the board is where parking demand continues to increase.

And so we've asked DLZ to incorporate those modifications into this project.

Um are set at the um executive director's limit of 150,000 per contract, and we're bumping up against that.

So that brings us to a motion.

Second.

Aye.

Aye.

Steph Gaither?

Aye.

Brian Goodwin.

Aye.

Aye.

Okay, BP 2025-10-10, Jerry Glass.

Thank you.

Consider for approval an award of contract, the APL construction company for the rebid of restroom renovations phase one at the Indianapolis International Airport and an amount not to exceed $7,256,093, plus a 10% construction reserve of 725,609 and 30 cents for a grand total of 7,981,702.30 cents.

April construction was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

So just a brief recap.

We had a listing session with contractors and worked with contracting community to figure out what we can do to make that project more attractive.

Um, as you can imagine, uh doing solely nighttime work and other limitations of being on the secure side of the airport uh along with the duration of the project was causing some consternation.

So we have addressed many of those things.

Um, and certainly this you see that it is now called phase one.

This is the thing, the restrooms that are not on the secure side.

So the ground transportation center, the ticketing hall, um bag claim, it's everything that is not on the secure side.

So this will be phase one.

Uh it will let all of us uh work together, refine some techniques, and then we'll uh in the coming months put another bit out for balance of the restrooms.

How do the numbers compare?

The free security and post-secure number of restrooms.

Um we have it's not quite 5050, uh the non-secure side.

So these restrooms for this project, 14 public, nine family.

It's on the on the concourses, it'll be 14 public, so the same and 11 families, so a few more family restrooms.

So it's fairly fairly split down all.

We have a motion.

So move.

Is there any discussion or questions for Jared on this project?

Okay.

I do, I do.

Okay.

Surprise.

Um so we talked about the the percentage of restrooms on air side versus uh um land side.

Uh what about in terms of the overall budget?

What what percentage of this?

We are we are we we are over half the budget.

I think what's um what's allocated in the budget uh was a little less than uh 17 million.

Um now this accounts for design us, but currently we're at uh 9.7 million of spend with this first set of risk.

Great.

Just great job to the team for getting with the community and figuring out how to make this a good package.

Um how many bidders did you get on the second round again?

Um I think it was seven.

Yeah, so just shows that we did a great job.

So great job, team.

Okay.

Um we moved any further discussion.

I think I'm lost.

No further discussion.

We'll take a vote.

For BP 2025-10-10, you have a first motion by Brett Voorhees, second motion by Kurt Schlader, Barbaglass.

Hi.

Mimum Powers, I could catch you.

Steph Gaither.

Hi.

Goodwin.

Hi.

Kurt Schlater.

All right.

Hi.

Thank you, Alex.

Um, next, our executive director's report, Mario Rodriguez.

Thank you.

Uh, as she I'd like to submit my report in writing, but I'd like to put a few things out.

What is the second quarter core value award winners?

And as you know, you know, our team goes above and beyond every single day, and they do a great job at um at supporting the community at large.

But these are folks that went above above and beyond this quarter.

And I'd like to properly embarrass them by calling them up, and then stand up and then we'll plug.

So Callie McCune, Ted Fields, Giana Outlaw, Kimberly Thomas, Dustin Smith, Steve Moulton, and William Frank.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you.

And the last item I'd like to point out is we won yet another JD Power Award.

This is the fourth year in award, uh, fourth year in a row that the airport has won a JD Power Award, eight years in total.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna wait till we have a full board and display all eight and have a photograph with the board and all eight JD powers, and we'll display properly because it is we we take it for granted.

HAD powers is HAD Powers.

You can't, you know, that's a that's a powerful message, and it's uh it is an award that you don't have to explain.

You don't have to explain an ACI, you have to explain an ACI award, right?

JD Power, I think everybody gets just intuitively.

So that's it.

And uh thank you for your leadership.

Thank you, Mario.

Um anyone have anything to add?

Close up this meeting.

Our next meeting is Friday, November 21st, 2025 at 8 a.m.

And with that, we adjourn.
