Minutes The approval of the minutes will be performed when a quorum is present. B. Director’s Report Bill Wyatt, Executive Director, updated the Airport Advisory Board regarding current events. Mr. Wyatt indicated the existing airport is extremely busy. The fifteen largest passenger volume days in the history of the airport have all occurred within the last year; many of those in the last two to three months. Economy of the region appears to be very strong with a direct result of increased passenger flow. This also resulted in Delta increasing the square footage of their sky deck from 18,000 sq ft to 27,000. In addition, the Federal Inspection Station where you clear customs and immigration was designed during a time when the airport only had one or two daily international departures; vastly undersized for the seventeen or eighteen departures we now have with more coming. Mr. Wyatt provided and update on the check point equipment. Procurement process is being entered. There are only two certified providers, we have a Request for Proposal (RFP) out. Various members of the SLCDA team have travelled around the country looking at these two vendors in action to see the equipment. It will result in an improved experience for passengers. Mr. Wyatt introduced the General Aviation Strategy. It is a good time to advance the GA portion of the master plan, so a plan can be created to get the quality of GA at both Tooele and West Jordan and deal with the congestion that is experienced at SLCIA. James Rogers inquired as to the dollar amount of the investment for the new security screening equipment. Mr. Wyatt responded about $20 million. Cyndy Miller asked how much does a single security checkpoint piece of equipment cost. Mr. Wyatt responded about $750,00 - $800,000 per lane. He also described the screening process. J.T. Martin arrived at 8:26 am. Patrick Leary arrived at 8:35 am. C.

Mr. Williams described the incentive program for electrician recruitment. Mr. Wyatt reminds the group that in order to open the international gates with the rest of the new airport, concourse E needs to be demolished early. Since this will cause a decrease in contact gates, part of the airfield will be used along with hardstand operations to board Skywest passengers for about six months. JT Martin inquired as to where the TRAX line will be coming into the airport. Mr. Williams described the platform; it is on the lower level with a canopy to the entrance doors. D. Minutes With a quorum present, a motion was made by Shawn Milne and seconded by Jim Riding to approve the minutes of June 19, 2019 as presented. All votes were affirmative; motion passed. E.

Mr. Domino explained normally the airport would be responsible for utilities on its property, the problem in the past is that the utilities have not yet been developed up to the airport property (Tooele.) The FAA does limit the funds spent on improvements. The board discussed the sewer and water challenges at the Tooele Valley Airport. The board discussed the jurisdiction of the FAA and Airport Improvement Funds. Cyndy Miller indicated a December Board meeting may be necessary for a Master Plan update and to prepare for the new City administration. Patrick Leary left at 9:55 am. F.
