3 Page 3 of 49 Commission Meeting Committee Reports a. Finances, Contracts & Planning Committee Meeting of February 4, 2016 i. Ground Mount Solar Farm Approval Mr. McIntyre reported that the committee recommended approval of the Ground Mount Solar Farm. Mr. Mann explained that staff has been working on this project for some time, particularly in the last year. He thanked the Con Edison representatives for their assistance in educating the staff throughout the process. The purchase cost is $2.6 million and will turn this five-acre tract into a revenue generator. The property is not usable for any other purpose. Mr. Mann went on to say that this will be a great return on investment and a great public relations tool. Two locations will be utilized inside the terminal to showcase the project and how much energy is being produced. After some discussion, Mr. McIntyre put forth the committee s recommendation to approve the Ground Mount Solar Farm contract for installation of the ground mounts on the five acres at Pitts Lake at a cost of $2.6 million. Motion carried. 5. January 2016 Financial Report Gregg Hornsby Mr. Hornsby reported that January was a quiet month with a positive cash flow of almost $177,000 and 415 days cash on hand. On the Balance Sheet, he pointed out lines 8 and 19. Line 19 (Bonds Payable) reflects the payout of the Series 2005 Bonds that were refinanced in November. Line 8 (Funds Held by Trustee) reflects the cash that was used to pay down the bonds. Mr. Hornsby said that the Income Statement was very positive for the month. Line 7 (Non-Airline Terminal Rents) reflects the rental car revenue which exceeded budget. The residual effect of that is reflected in Line 13 (CFC Collections). Mr. Hornsby concluded by saying that expenses are down from last year to include utilities. 6. Staff Reports a. Director s Report Dan Mann Mr. Mann handed out copies of the CAE Economic Impact Summary (copy attached to official minutes) which was prepared by the University of South Carolina. Highlights of the report reflect 1,871 employees on the airport campus; $80 million is generated in payroll; and the total economic output is $554 million. Regarding marketing efforts for the summary, Ms. Harmon reported that it was first distributed at the Lexington County Legislative Night in January. There has also been distribution through some media outlets to include the Columbia Regional Business Report and Carolina Panorama. A press release will go out the end of the month and a video project to include the report will be produced in the spring. Mr. Mann continued his report by advising that copies of the Code of Conduct/Conflict of Interest Policy were available at each Commissioner s place for signature. Commissioners are required to sign this policy annually. Mr. Howard reported that he, Mr. Compton, Mr. Cooper, and Mr. McIntyre had attended the recent South Carolina Aviation Association Conference. He went on to say that it was a very good conference and that a highlight was the excellent presentation given by retired astronaut Winston Scott. He commented that Mr. Scott was a dynamic speaker.

4 Page 4 of 49 Commission Meeting Mr. McIntyre reported that another great speaker was the Boeing Plant Manager who shared their plans to construct ten additional facilities. Boeing is actively recruiting suppliers to move to South Carolina to support their operations. One immediate need is a paint line as they are currently having to fly aircraft to Dallas to be painted. He went on to say that we need to tap into their recruiting efforts as we have land that can be developed for aviation-related industries. Chair Compton also reported that a representative with American Airlines sat at the table with the CAE group and mentioned the news about our Dallas flights being upgraded to dual-class service in April. Mr. Mann had previously reported this good news at an earlier meeting. 7. Discussion & Suggestions a. Comments from Public Chair Compton welcomed everyone and expressed that we are happy to have guests attend the meetings. He asked if anyone had any comments. Mr. Gula introduced Ms. Atkins as the new Operations Manager. Ms. Bennett asked Ms. Broome to provide an update on employment numbers at the next meeting. She also thanked Ms. Broome for the invitation to the Allen University luncheon and shared that she was able to meet the President of Boeing who sat at her table. Chair Compton advised that new committee appointments will be made and asked that Commissioners prioritize their interest in the four committees. Mr. Cooper also commented that the South Carolina Aviation Association Conference was a good conference. He was particularly interested in a session about aviation law and how we fit under the Torts Claim Act. Mr. Cooper also asked staff to look into what steps would be necessary to change the airport s name to Columbia International Airport to include associated costs and other related information. Vice Chair Whitmire expressed that he is looking forward to serving as Vice Chair. He said that his time on the Commission has been very rewarding and he has learned a lot. He looks forward to sharing that knowledge with the new Commissioners as well as continuing to share and strengthen the spirit of the Commission. Chair Compton echoed Vice Chair Whitmire s sentiments and once again welcomed the new Commissioners. Mr. Holt shared that the South Carolina Aviation Association (SCAA) is proposing legislation to increase the state s aviation fund. The proposed legislation has been pre-filed by Senator Paul Campbell and Representative Brian White. The House, Ways, and Means Committee has unanimously approved the bill and agreed to the SCAA s request for $5 million appropriations funds. If this passes, the funds will go to the state aviation fund which the State Aeronautics uses to match federal grants and to fund the maintenance programs for the state s smaller airports. This legislation would provide a dedicated revenue stream and over time could possibly accommodate requests by the big four airports in the state. Page 3 of 4

He offered to provide talking points for those who request them. He also thanked Mr. Cooper for his time and counsel in sharing his experience of working with members of the General Assembly regarding new legislation. 8.
