2.0 Agenda




 Page 4 of 32
 Approve/Adopt Agenda
 MOTION by Helen Riehle SECOND by Chip Mason to approve the agenda as presented.
 VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried.


3.0 Public Forum
 3.1 Lief Taranta commented on Immigration Customs Enforcement presence at the airport


4.0 Consent agenda:
 4.1 Approval of the minutes
 MOTION by Helen Riehle, SECOND by Al Turkos, to approve the minutes as presented in
 the agenda packet, including Minutes from the May 28, 2025 and December 3, 2025
 meetings.
 VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried.

5.0 New Job Descriptions
 5.1 New Job Descriptions
 MOTION by Al Turkos, SECOND by Helen Riehle, to recommend this organization as
 presented in the memo
 DISCUSSION led by Aviation Director Nic Longo. Discussion included: if approved, this
 memo can pass to Board of Finance for them to approve and recommend that the City
 Council approve: one Operations Specialist position be added to the Operations team; one
 new Ground Transportation Working Foreperson position to be staffed during the nighttime
 hours; and the tiering of the existing Maintenance Worker position into Maintenance Worker
 I and Maintenance Worker II. Both job descriptions for the Operations Specialist and
 Working Foreperson are existing. The tiering of the current Maintenance Worker position
 allows an employee to be hired into the Tier I role, and after obtaining certain requirements,
 that employee can occupy the Tier II role. Tier I is a grade 14, and Tier II is a grade 15. The
 airport has been working with the AFSCME Union to create this job description. All
 positions are currently within the budget, so a budget amendment is not requirement. These
 positions can be posted as soon as they are approved by Board of Finance and City Council.
 VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried.

6.0 Aerodyme Lease
 6.1 Aerodyme Lease, N. Longo
 MOTION by Helen Riehle, SECOND by Al Turkos, to approve the memo as presented.
 DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. Discussion included: this lease will expand
 Aerodyme’s footprint at the airport and offer a four-year lease extension followed by a one-
 year extension option. This lease will add Pod 4 to Aerodyme’s rental space. The rental rate
 is lower than other similar leases because the condition of the space is poor. Pod 4 will
 eventually be demolished, so Aerodyme’s future vacancy of Pod 4 is expected and included
 in the lease.
 VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried.

7.0 GSA/TSA Lease
 7.1 GSA/TSA Lease, N. Longo
 MOTION by Helen Riehle, SECOND by Al Turkos, to approve the memo as presented.
 DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. Discussion included: during the TIP project for the
 South Concourse, TSA offices were relocated to accommodate the construction. Since that




 Page 5 of 32
 point in time, the airport has been building new space for TSA to occupy near the checkpoint.
 The General Services Administration (GSA) negotiates leases on behalf of TSA and other
 government agencies, so the lease for the new space is with the TSA and GSA. This lease
 allows the TSA to occupy the new office spaces that have been built.
 VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried.

8.0 Hangar Condo Association Lease
 8.1 Hangar Condo Association Lease
 MOTION by Al Turkos, SECOND by Helen Riehle, to approve the memo as presented.
 DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. Discussion included: the Hangar Condo Association
 (HCA) built their own hangars and rents to the general aviation community. HCA owns the
 buildings and expenses related to the buildings. Their current lease is still active; HCA is
 interested in a lease extension of ten years for their aircraft storage. This lease is for the
 ground space where the HCA properties are built.
 VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried.


9.0 Construction Update, L. Lackey
 In addition to the written construction update provided to the Airport Commission, Larry Lackey
 highlighted the following updates:
 9.1 Item two: this is the South Terminal Expansion Project. This project would have required
 borrowing money in order to start around 2029. The Airport is submitting a funding
 application for $65 Million to pay for this project. Then the money would be secured through
 the AIP project. For each project, the Airport pays 10% of final costs when we receive grant
 payment for a project.
 9.2 The Airport pays its last bond payment in fiscal year 2030. The Airport will be able to pay for
 the South Terminal Expansion Project with a bond if the grant funding does not get approved.
 9.3 Item three: Goal is to submit the grant application for the cargo apron by April 2026.
 9.4 SRE building: this project is estimated to be a $26 Million. There is a bid meeting next week
 on January 16 with the contractors to open the bids for the project.
 9.5 The FAA CIP for FY26 has been resubmitted
 9.6 BETA is moving forward with its B build. Ideally construction can start over the summer




10.0 Financial Update, M. Friedman
 In addition to the written financial update provided to the Airport Commission, Director Longo
 highlighted the following:
 10.1 This report reflects the first five months of the 2026 fiscal year.
 10.2 Last year, there was a difference in the time we received stimulus money; while it may
 look like revenues are much lower than last year by $1Million, but this is due to dates which
 we received funds.
 10.3 The fourth page shows a metrics sheet that compare financial recovery after the
 pandemic. This chart shows revenues that are higher than before, so revenues are doing well.
 The last few months have shown fewer car rental and concession revenues, but the revenues
 are still sizable.
 10.4 The last document in the report shows cash and reserves, so some accounts are restricted.

To: Airport Commission

From: Larry Lackey, Director of Planning, Engineering and Environmental Compliance

Date: February 4, 2026

Subject: Airport Commission Construction Update

 1. Environmental Assessment (est. $.25M). The purpose of this project is to evaluate environmental
 impacts related to the mitigation of obstructions with in the aircraft approach surfaces to the
 runways. This is in follow up to the recently completed Master Plan, which includes obstruction
 identification and environmental review. Completed, working on close out documents.

 2. South Terminal Replacement Project ($73M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal
 efficiencies and a better passenger experience. Due to increased aircraft seating existing passenger
 hold areas are overcrowded during peak times as identified in the recent Master Plan Update.
 Recently the opportunity had risen through the Airport Terminal Improvement Program (ATP) from
 the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. We have submitted our request for full build out of this project,
 including: Demolition of the existing South Concourse; new Terminal improvements (approximately
 45,000 SF of new gross floor area on 2 levels); five (5) new aircraft gates; up to four (4) new passenger
 boarding bridges (PBB), new passenger circulation and hold rooms; future concessions space; and
 apron construction within demolished South Concourse footprint. The South Terminal Replacement
 Project will be approximately 160' farther from Taxiway A as the existing South Concourse. We were
 not selected this past year and have reapplied for FFY23 design only. We have moved forward with
 schematics and preliminary cost estimates for existing potential funding source applications. ATP
 application for funding was submitted in January.

 3. Cargo Apron Construction Project ($4.7M). The purpose of this project is to provide additional space
 for other potential cargo carry operations. Have submitted 7460-1 (Air Space Review) to FAA for this
 project. The scoping of the project design only has been completed with the FAA. The IFE process for
 completion before a FAA Grant Application in April has been completed. Grant Application was
 submitted on April 3, 2023. Grant has been issued, moving to finalize contract. The contract has been
 issued to Hoyle, Tanner and Associates with the design to start. It has been determined that this
 project will require additional FAA technical operations review prior to proceeding. The FAA updated
 review has been issued as favorable, and the project design is moving forward. We plan on bidding
 this project in March. Project design is complete. Working on permit applications. We anticipate we
 will apply for a grant in April of 2026 for construction.

 4. SRE Building Design ($29M). The purpose of this project is to replace the existing out dated facilities,
 which does not meet the storage needs of the required equipment to maintain the airfield. A contract
 for study is being completed with programing and scoping moving forward. The scoping session with
 the FAA has been completed. The final scope is complete with the IFE process was completed. The
 Grant Application was submitted to the FAA. Contract has been signed with Passero Associates to
 design and bid this project. Site investigations were completed in November. The site plan is
 developed with the building design at 30%. We have had page turn of the draft plans. Applications for
 permits are being moved forward. A pre –Application meeting was held with South Burlington
 Planning and Development Staff in preparation for an upcoming DRB hearing. Permit Applications are
 being prepared. We presented to the South Burlington DRB on June 3rd. The hearing was not closed.
 There were items that needed follow up. We have followed up on these items and are scheduled back
 with the DRB on July 1, 2025. The SB DRB process has been completed. Permits have been issued. Bids
 for construction were received on January 9, 2026. We had 3 bidders. The bids are under review.

 5. FAA CIP for FY26 and next 5 years. We met with the FAA Airports Division on September 17, 2025.
 Items discussed for FFY26, cargo apron construction, SRE building construction, obstruction removal
 easements, final application to complete project NeXT, RSIP Phase 6 considering receipt of the $7.3M
 grant from OLDCC, centralized deicing and the following 5 years. We updated the CIP with these
 considerations and have received the FAA’s comments on this. We will be updating again and
 resubmitting.

 6. BETA – Development
 Communication and coordination with Beta on the first phase of the Electric Aircraft Assemble Facility
 and Valley West Hangar for all aspects of permitting, environmental, engineering, utilities and
 attendance at public hearing and construction meetings. The first Phase is complete. We are
 coordinating with Beta on all aspects of their new development. Currently the child care center,
 manufacturing B build permitting in moving forward with the Alia Hangar under construction.

 7. South Apron and TW G Ext. Development ($6.6). The purpose of this project is to provide much
 needed additional general aviation apron area on the airfield. Completed, working on closeout
 documents.

 8. Glycol System Upgrade (est. $3.5M). The purpose of this project is to improve the glycol system (De-
 icing). We have had additional follow up discussions with the FAA and it appears this is eligible for
 funding and is being added back into our FAA CIP. We have received and reviewed the site evaluation
 and process review scope. We brought this for Airport Commission approval last month subsequently,
 it was approved by City Council. Study is moving forward. We visited the Syracuse Airport to evaluate
 and understand the technology they were using to compare to our Portland Jetport visit. The Draft
 study has been issued and is under review by the airport team. A review session with Stantec was
 completed. We had a joint meeting last week with our consultant and our FBO Heritage Flight to get
 their input. The final report is completed. A 7460 – 1 (Siting review) has been submitted for the siting
 of the first site location for review. This has been determined to be our priority project with the most
 recent FAA CIP review. We are working on our CIP with the FAA, to see when this can be funded. Then




 Page 10 of 32
February 4, 2026 Airport Commission Construction Update Page 3 of 6


 we can start scoping the project with the FAA.

 9. North Terminal Improvement Project ($2.2M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal
 efficiencies and a better passenger experience due to the completion of the TIP the north terminal will
 be upgraded to provide more capacity for passengers and concessions. This includes the removal of
 the existing north TSA station along with the removal of the existing escalators. This project is under
 design and funding is anticipated from the recent approval of the Infrastructure Law. Received Bids
 with the selected bidder being Engelberth Construction, Inc. Preparing and submitting Grant
 Application. This will become a FFY23 Project. We have received the Grant from the FAA. Construction
 is nearing completion, and should be complete by September 15th. There was a delay related to the
 glass for the new restaurant area. Construction is complete with final inspection with the FAA
 completed on 10/30/23. Project closeout in process. We have applied for an additional grant to add
 additional egress lanes in both the North and South Terminal locations. A grant application was
 submitted April 26th to the FAA. Received BOF approval to accept the Grant on June 17, 2024, City
 Council to vote on June 25, 2024. Grant has been issued for the two new egress lanes. A review of the
 issued funding is being reviewed by the airport on how much money can actually be used from the
 grant for this project. This determination is close to being resolved. Due to FAA rules this grant is being
 sent back because it does not support the full extent of this project.

 10. PROJECT NEXT: North Terminal Replacement Project and New PBB’s ($69M). The purpose of this
 project is for overall terminal efficiencies and a better passenger experience. Due to increased aircraft
 seating existing passenger hold areas are overcrowded during peak times as identified in the recent
 Master Plan Update. Recently the opportunity had risen from Senator Leahy’s office through
 Congressional Directed Spending. We have submitted our request for full build out of this project
 Phase III Terminal Improvement Project, including: Demolition of the existing North Concourse; new
 Terminal Improvement (approximately 25,000 SF of new gross floor area on 2 levels); five (5) new
 aircraft gates; six (6) new passenger boarding bridges (PBB), new passenger circulation and hold
 rooms; future concessions space; and apron construction within demolished North Concourse
 footprint. Contract for 30% design has been issues to Jacobs Engineering Group. Geo-technical site
 work has been completed. Data collection and design currently on going. We submitted to the FAA for
 a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) RFQ/P construction development process. We received
 approval from the FAA on this procurement process. The RFQ/P for CMAR has been advertised with a
 pre-bid meeting and site visit by prospective contractors completed. CMAR Proposals received
 reviewed and scored. Also, held interviews with the top 3 contractors. This has been scored and we
 can let you know the selected contractor at the AC meeting. As reported the CMAR selected is
 Engelberth Construction Company. The contract with our design engineer, Jacobs Engineering Group,
 is completing the 80% design to move to pricing. We received City Council approval to accept the
 Grant on March 25 for this project, as brought for your approval during our last meeting. Our CMAR is
 in the process of receiving bids for the final price for this project. The FAA asked us to submit a draft
 grant application for administrative review prior to final construction pricing to help us expedite the
 grant issuance, with them once final pricing is in. The Draft Application was completed and submitted
 on March 27. The FAA grant application was submitted on May 23. Received BOF approval to accept
 the Grant on June 17, 2024, City Council to vote on June 25, 2024. We received the Grants for this

 13. TW C/G Rehabilitation ($4.6M). The purpose of this project is to improve the pavement condition of
 the airport’s taxiway C and intersection at taxiway G. Bids were received on April 24, 2025. We
 received 2 bids. Pike Industries was the lowest most responsive bidder. The FAA Grant Application was
 submitted on April 28, 2025. Construction will begin in the spring of 2026. This grant was recently
 received. A NOA has been given to the contractor with contract being completed. Contracts have
 been issued with the Contractor with construction starting in the spring.

 14. Obstruction Removal ($0.5M). The purpose of this project is to remove potential obstructions with in
 the aircraft approach surfaces to runways 15 and 33. Environmental Assessment is almost complete
 with the scoping session with the FAA to be scheduled. FAA Grant Application is pushed back to May
 1, 2026. This is due to a review of our existing easement and a determination if others may be

February 4, 2026 Airport Commission Construction Update Page 6 of 6


 required Construction will begin as soon after grant is issued as possible taking into environmental
 conditions. We are moving forward with scoping to review existing and proposed easement.

 15. Runway 33 Threshold Bar Improvement Project ($.25M). The purpose of this project is to remove the
 damaged navigational aid, replace the lights and rings, and place a quick dry durable concrete for a
 longer term fix. This project has been completed and the FAA flight check completed. Closeout will be
 completed with the RW 15-33 Project.

 16. VTANG Arrester Cable Drainage (Stormwater) Project ($1.5M). This project involves repairing and
 modifying the existing Aircraft Arresting Systems (AAS), which are safety mechanisms designed to
 rapidly decelerate aircraft during landings or takeoffs by catching the aircraft with cables or barriers.
 The improvements will include upgrading the drainage system by adding infiltration galleries and
 connecting it to the existing stormwater system, ensuring continued compliance with state and
 federal stormwater regulations. Enhancements include upgrading the sump pump capabilities to
 establish redundant drainage functions in each barrier pit, updating the control system for flood-level
 monitoring, and relocating the Arresting Gear Markers. The AAS at Leahy BTV are the only functioning
 systems for this installation and are critical to operations. This project is being completed concurrently
 with the Runway 15 – 33 Rehabilitation Project. The project was bid. Engineers Construction, Inc. (ECI)
 was selected to complete this work. We have a signed contract from ECI and have received final
 documents from VTANG. The contract has been executed by the Airport. The project is complete,
 with a few minor punch list items to be completed. Final inspection was completed with VTANG
 present. We are moving this project to close out.

 Sound/Noise Update Report
 February 4, 2026
 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS UPLOADED TO WWW.BTVSOUND.COM

BACKGROUND:

Residential Sound Insulation Programs:
The purpose of the project is to convert a sample of incompatible residential units to a compatible land
use by installing an acoustical treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by
upgrading interior living areas. Upgrades may include replacement of windows and doors with
acoustically rated products and installation or upgrade of ventilation systems. The sound insulation
treatments are designed to reduce the interior noise levels to below 45 DNL and provide a minimum
noise level reduction of 5dB.

PHASES OF THE RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM (RSIP)

 1. Sound Insulation Pilot Project (Phase 1) ($1.5M). This Program includes: Program formulation,
 Home eligibility determination, project schedule for this Phase 1 portion included 9 properties,
 and construction improvements are substantially complete. Received Grant Amendment.
 Awaiting Closeout documentation and final payout from the FAA.

 2. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 2 ($2.20M) The purpose of the project was to
 convert incompatible residential units to a compatible land use by installing an acoustical
 treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by upgrading interior living areas
 as defined in the Phase 1 project and the Noise Compatibility Program. The Airport continued
 implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP). This grant included:
 community outreach, historic review, design and bidding of 52 homes, noise reduction of 6
 homes which construction improvements were substantially completed and close out is
 ongoing with the contractor. Properties were located within the 70+ DNL FAA accepted 2023
 noise contours. The installation of noise reduction materials for the 5 properties was




 Page 15 of 32
 Page 2 of 4


 completed. Materials were purchased for the 6th property however the homeowner left the
 area. It will be completed with the next phase of homes. The close out is completed with the
 contractor. Moving to closure.

3. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 3 ($6.2M). The Airport is continued
 implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in more detail
 above. This grant was issued and includes: the construction improvements of the 52 Homes
 designed and bid in Phase 2, in addition it provides for community outreach, historic review,
 design and bidding of the next approximately 50 homes for improvements. The schedule for
 installing the noise insulating improvements for the 52 homes started in 2024. The Construction
 Improvements has started on this phase of homes and will continue through September 2025
 Punch list items were being completed in January 2026.

4. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 4 ($3.9M EST.). The Airport is proposing to
 continue implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in
 more detail above. We are currently reviewing the status of the programing and will be able
 to detail this in our next month’s airport commission meeting. The initial grant for 16 of the 50
 homes for construction improvements was submitted grant was received from the FAA. Also in
 the grant was the funding for the next 50 homes. As discussed we are completing the required
 new acoustical testing for the balance of the 50 homes so we can do a follow grant application
 on those homes. (See update above) The Buy American process moving forward but awaiting
 grant for the 16 homes. We received the grant for this phase however; the amount ($)’s was
 slightly less than what the application was. Based on instructions from the FAA we will leave the
 scope intact for this project and just amend the grant during closure. The Contact with Strong
 Tower to start construction improvements has been signed. The Construction Improvements
 has started on this phase of homes and will continue through December 2025. Punch list items
 were being completed in January.

5. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 5 ($2.4M EST.). The Airport is proposing to
 continue implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in the
 first paragraph in this report. It includes the construction improvements of 6 units that remain
 in the above 70 DNL contour. Also, due to the change in the FAA acoustical requirement
 additional funding is being requested for homes in outreach from Phase 4. We submitted a grant
 application to the FAA on April 28, 2025 for this phase. The grant was just recently issued.
 Contract documents and submittals are in progress. The Pre-Construction meeting held with
 the FAA. Construction to start in the spring.

6. Noise Exposure Map Updates (NEM) (est. $.85M). The purpose of the Federal Aviation
 Administration (FAA) grant is to prepare a 14 C.F.R Part 150 Noise Exposure Map (NEM) update
 for Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (Leahy BTV). The NEM Update replaced the
 maps which were accepted by the FAA in 2019. Under the Federal requirements, the previous
 NEM Update indicated an update would be completed once the F-35A aircraft have been
 operational for one year. This project is complete and we are moving it to closure.

7. Residential Sound Insulation Project “Construction” – OLDCC (DOD) ($8.1M EST.). We received
 this grant funding and will provide further update during the October meeting. Communication
 has resumed with the OLDCC office. Design has started on the projected homes.

8. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 6 (TBD). The Airport is proposing to continue
 implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in the first
 paragraph in this report. With the OLDCC award we are currently planning our approach for
 the FAA 2026 grant application season. This will include the Construction Administration and
 Resident Project Representative for the OLDCC construction and preparation for a full
 construction grant application in the next round.
