Madam President, board.

This is the introduction of general ordinance number one 2026, which is the revised master bond ordinance.

It consolidates and restates the master bond ordinance as described in bond ordinance number five 2014 as described in board member memo 2026-0101.

This is an introduction only, no vote today.

And the reason the introduction is coming forward is because we changed how certain reserve funds were calculated in the last bond issue.

So make one single document that allows you to you've introduced it.

Thank you.

Next is consider for approval and adoption resolution 01-2026.

Yes, please consider for approval and adoption resolution one 2026 amending and replacing the variable rate securities and derivatives policy as described in the board member.

And while this would uh deal with swaps and that type of thing, that is not the reason that the uh policy was amended.

It was amended to bring it to current uh law as far as refundings.

It uh puts the uh short-term borrowing uh which would be done for a credit facility, maybe a construction facility.

It amended some of the uh terms related to that.

So it is a good policy provides uh a very sound basis and uh parameters if the finance and audit committee treasure deemed that that was an appropriate recommendation.

Do we have a motion?

Motion to approve as presented any discussion or questions for Albert None, we'll take a roll call for BB 2026 01-02 for resolution 01 2026.

Yes, another policy that was approved by the finance and audit committee in November.

Please consider for approval and adoption resolution uh one sorry two 2026 amending and replacing the existing investment policy as described in the board and fall this uh and all policies that are under the purview of finance and audit committee are brought back yearly.

Make sure that they are still relevant, fresh.

Anytime there is a needed change, they are brought to the board.

So the needed change in this was to identify and specifically call out the investment pool managed by the state called Trust Indiana to adjust the percentage that's allowable and freedom, and again that was reviewed by the finance committee and uh offered for the full board's consideration.

We have a motion.

So moved.

Second.

Madam President.

Approval.

Consider for approval and adoption resolution zero three-2026.

Please consider for approval and adoption resolution three 2026, which amends and replaces the existing credit card policy that's described in the board.

State Board of Accounts provides required language and that every municipal entity, governmental entity that is under their purview, have a policy, and it needs to have specific uh items.

And they added one in 2025.

They also amended some shell language to May.

So that uh has been reflected.

There's one other change that's in the policy, and it is the uh not related to state board of accounts, but internally we describe the responsibilities of procurement, finance, and we're making a change to the technical administration of the uh program that uh we can have better efficiency and maintain it.

Okay, do we have a motion?

So moved back.

Any discussion?

Questions.

We'll take a roll call.

BP 2026-01-04 for resolution 0326.

Hi.

Brad Vohis.

Aye.

Madam President, you've been approval.

On to the board reports.

I will go directly to the election of officers and turn it over to Brian.

Good morning, Madam President, members of the board.

Each year at the first meeting of the uh IAEA board.

Uh per the uh Indiana Code Section 82239.

The board is to elect three officers for the coming year.

This year there are three candidates, one for each office, the president, the vice president, the secretary.

The candidates are Barbara Glass for president, Steve Dillinger for Vice President, and Maimon Powers for Secretary.

Um, because there's only one candidate for each office.

I would suggest the most efficient way to conduct this election is to ask for a motion and a second to elect Barbara Glass president, Steve Dillinger Vice President, and Maimon Powers Secretary, and then have a voice vote on the election of those three candidates.

So move.

We have a uh motion by Brett and a second by Tamika.

So if you could call the roll, please.

Barbara Glass?

Aye.

He Dillinger?

Hi.

Maman Powers.

Aye.

Pika Catchings.

Hi.

All right.

Aye.

Brett Voorhees.

Aye.

Yes, approved.

Congratulations.

Um candidates.

Also, uh, Madam President, at the first year, at the first meeting of each year, the board is to appoint a treasurer for the airport authority.

Perhaps uh to do this efficiently, you should consider asking for a motion to appoint Robert Thompson as treasurer for the Indianapolis Airport Authority for 2026.

Assuming there is a second, then we can have a voice vote on the appointment of Robert Thompson as Treasurer.

Do we have a motion?

Okay.

Steve Dillinger?

Aye.

Steven Powers.

Aye.

Mickey Ketchings.

Aye.

Brent Gibbs.

Aye.

Brian Goodwin.

President that concludes our election for 2026.

Next, we'll move on to the general agenda.

Uh BP 2026-1-5.

Marshall Brewster.

Good morning, Madam President.

Members of the board.

Consider for approval a foreign trade zone operator agreement and the issuance of a anti sponsorship letter with Adolent Indiana LLC to facilitate access to the federal FTZ program as reviewed and approved by the Greater Indianapolis Foreign Trade Zone Board.

Catalint is a pharmaceutical manufacturing company.

It's a fully owned subsidiary of Novo Holdings, which is also the parent company of Novo Nordis.

Catalan supports Novo Nordis in the production of diabetes care products such as OZIP.

They're seeking FTZ designation for the manufacturing and distribution of these innovative therapies for diabetes, obesity, and chronic other chronic conditions.

This designation relates to 37.15 acres in a facility that's just over 1.6 million square feet in Bloomington, Indiana.

Their current employment range is between 1,750 and 2,000 employees.

Their payrolls are averaging above 210 million to 240 million dollars annually.

The grantee fees that they would pay uh for this designation uh total $54,000 annually.

Okay, thank you.

We have a motion.

Second.

Any discussion?

Take a roll call.

For BP 2026-01-05.

You've first motion Brian Goodwin, second motion by Maven Powers.

Hi.

Steve Dellinger.

Meanwhile powers.

Hi.

Goodbye, gibbs.

Brian Goodwin.

All right.

Aye.

All right.

Right.

Voorhees.

Aye.

President, you've united approval.

All right.

BP 2026-1-6.

Thank you.

Consider for approval.

Change order number two with Kreider and Crater for Airport Stormwater Management Facilities in the regional airport and an amount not to exceed 189,001 and 19 cents.

This is a final and balancing change order.

This was the work to uh improve and expand the stormwater management facilities at that facility at that airport to uh accommodate development.

Uh the um main items uh in this final change order uh was the creation of an access road to the new facility for maintenance and um additional pumping because we had a wet season that we were working in and uh improvements to the public road system uh because of the construction traffic.

Okay.

So move second discussion.

We'll take a vote for BP 2026-01-06.

You have a first motion by Kurt Schleider, second motion by Dwayne Gibbs, Barbara Plus, aye.

Steve Dellinger, payment powers, aye.

Brian Goodman, McClamour, Schleider, all right.

Right Voorhees, aye, president, E 2026-1-7, Terry Klaus.

Consider for approval, amendment number four with Burns and McDonald for the CEP boiler rebuild at the Indianapolis International Airport and an amount not to exceed 26,787 in expenses.

So I'm sure many of you will recall over the last year and a half.

Uh we have had several projects to uh rebuild and replace boilers at that facility.

Uh that is where the terminal uh gets its uh all of its heating and and chilled water from and um at the conclusion of all of that work uh the authorities insurance uh carrier toured that facility and made a recommendation that we update the arc flash study to incorporate that new equipment.

The art flash study uh is part of the safety protocols when you deal with high voltage.

Uh so it incorporates that and updates the facilities plan.

And so we felt like at the conclusion of this project we go ahead and do that work.

We have a motion.

So moved.

Okay.

Any discussion?

Take a roll call for BP 2026-01-07.

You have a first motion by Ryan Goodwin, second motion by T Dillinger, Barbara Glass.

I'm Steve Dillinger.

Hi.

Okay, BP 2026-1-8, Jerry Class.

Consider for approval, amendment number two with RC engineers for parking garage maintenance and improvements 2025 at the Indianapolis International Airport in an amount not to exceed 209,739.

So as we embarked on the 2025 project, um, as one would anticipate, uh, we spent a lot of time with internal teams, making sure the phasing of the scope of repair work in the garage uh fit as best we can figure out how to ease the congestion in the garage during construction.

Uh what we are doing uh with this amendment is moving the 2026 scope of work from that project and combining the two so that we have some of the economies to scale of the current work that's going on and uh make use of the team that we already have from a professional services standpoint.

So this is adding in the 2026 scope into this project.

Okay, this is all included budget.

Yes, it's all included and approved by Capitol program.

Thank you.

Do we have a motion?

Motion to approve.

Second any discussion.

Take a little call for BP 2026-01-08.

You have a first motion by Ryan Goodwin.

Take a push by power, class.

Hi.

Brian Goodwin.

Hi.

Thank you.

Next, we have our executive director's report, Mario Rodriguez.

President, members of the board.

I've submitted the reports in Brian, but I'd like to point out a couple of votes.

You know, we like I've said many times, we have an exceptional team.

And this team is one big JD Powers, and the airport has been named for 14 years as the best airport in North America because of this team.

Uh, and these are folks that went even above and beyond what they normally do.

And I'd like to I'd like to call them where they can stand up and we can properly embarrass them.

Fabulous job.

I know a lot of them do not like the spotlight, and they don't, but I kind of force them to come here.

So with Robert Martinez from IT, which definitely does not like the spotlight.

Robert Newland from the police, he's right behind me.

Robert, no, I guess not.

Robert Wright then.

It's right there.

Connor Hendry, who is incredibly shy.

Connor, thank you.

Oscar Garcia, where is Oscar Garcia?

Oscar, thank you.

And we also have one individual that was named by the IBJ in the top in the airport business, excuse me.

Airport business magazine, top 40 under 40.

Emanuel Madonado.

And that concludes my report.

So if you have any questions, let me know.

Otherwise, uh great to have you back in the new year.

Thank you.

Well, next, it has been customary for our court meetings.

If there's a group here that would like to speak, that we allow a spokesperson three minutes to speak.

So we have a group here today, and um your spokesperson is welcome to speak for three minutes.

Uh my name is Councilmember Jesse Brown.

I'm trying to serve as a member of Indianapolis Grand County City County Capitol, as well as serving on the municipal corporations committee, because the reminder does appoint some members of this board and has oversight authority over the Indianapolis Airport Authority.

I'm speaking for myself as well as on behalf of a coalition of grassroots organizations working to protect Hoosers and Indiana communities from the harm being inflicted by ICE, Governor Braun, and the Trump administration.

West Side India Indivisible, Indy Resistance Indivisible, Indie Action Coalition, Central Indiana Democratic Socialists of America, Strong Neighbor, Indiana Undocumented Youth Alliance, Will Coultron for State House District 40, and more.

So I'm sure this board is aware.

Since at least July of 2025, three ICE deportation flights per week, about 70 flights to date, have arrived at this airport at the private terminal.

These flights are currently operated by Eastern Air Express, a charter airline based out of Kansas City.

These flights are operating in secrecy with their own call signs that are on the FAA's privacy list, which hypes them for public flight trackers.

These shuffling flights typically arrive in Indy from Youngstown, Ohio, although recently they've also come from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Bedford, Massachusetts.

Detainees, most of whom appear to be shackled at the risk and waste, are loaded onto the plane and transported to Alexandria, Louisiana, one of DHS's primary deportation sites.

We know that 74% of the individuals held in ICE detention have no criminal convictions.

Many of them are in the process of going through legal immigration or have temporary authority to remain in the U.S.

Once detained, DHS shuffles them around the country in order to isolate them from family and from lawyers trying to defend them.

I remind the board that per the Constitution, non-citizens do have constitutional rights to hire legal counsel in deportation cases and receive a fair hearing before a judge.

ICE is denying them that right, and they're using our airport to do so.

This is in conflict with the Hoosier values and morals that I believe you all hold.

You've seen that the Department of Homeland Security is deporting people to countries to which they have no ties, worse, to foreign torture prisons.

You've seen the violence and terror that ICE is inflicting in Minnesota and Chicago and Los Angeles.

You've seen the violence of human rights violations inflicted on detainees and facilities across this country.

One minute.

Did you know that at least 32 people died in ICE custody last year?

At this juncture, your silence on ICE's use of our airport to disappear our neighbors is no longer acceptable.

We are aware that as a public use facility, the airport must comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations and cannot simply refuse to allow ICE flights to land at Indianapolis.

But that does not stop you, the board, from publicly condemning ICE's use of your airport to aid in the disappearing or human trafficking of our immigrant neighbors.

That does not stop you, the board, from providing transparency and documentation for ICE operations at your airport.

In addition, we ask for intervention to ensure health and safety checks for detainees, access to mental and medical health care, and proper use of the minimal restraints necessary.

This does not stop you, the board, from allowing the press or the public to observe or protest ICE flight operations from the charter terminal parking lot.

It does not stop you, the board, from terminating contracts with airport vendors who are collaborating with ICE.

It does not stop you, the board from finding safe, legal, and peaceful ways of exercising your bureaucratic oversight to make operations more difficult for the charter companies who have accepted DHS contracts and put pressure to ensure safer conditions for detainees currently being moved through Indianapolis International Airport.

Councillor, thank you.

That's three minutes.

Just briefly to finish up, I was asked to speak by multiple people who work here who did not feel safe in coming forward.

Respectfully, we ask that you do something, anything, to expose and limit ICE's use of Indianapolis Airport.

Show us, show our immigrant communities that you see what's happening, and that while perhaps you can't prevent ICE flights from operating at your airport, you certainly don't condone or participate in them.

Your continued silence and shrugs are simply complicity.

Thank you for having us today.

We hope to continue working together to support human rights, safety, and dignity for all.
