Rl. Old Business -
A. Airport Activity Report -Ms. Amos presented the January 2021 Airport Usage
Report. The airline was down 58% for the month. January tends to be a slower
month on average; however the airline is still being affected by COVID-19. Ms.
Amos noted the projected enplanement data for 2021 was calculated by Volaire
Aviation Consulting in May 2020. It's too early to know if this projection is accurate
but 2020's projections were fairly close.
General aviation was down slightly but seems to be picking up. Ms. Amos reported
the hours of operation have officially been changed and hopes it will help improve
overall customer service. She noted only positive feedback had been received so
far. Ms. Amos asked Board members who frequent the airport to offer any
information or advice pertaining to the new hours and customer service needs
within the FBO. it was also noted a partition has now been installed in the Cape
Aviation lobby area to allow customers the use of the pilots lounge, mapping room,
and restrooms during off hours. There will also be a door code installed to enable
pilots to get into the FBO after hours.
B. Cape Aviation Report Mr. Irwin reported fuel sales are trending up compared to
last year, he reported that 100LL had a 99% increase at 4,972 gallons sold compared
to last year's 2,500 gallons. Mr. Irwin commented that inclement weather has
decreased operations slightly but believes it's only a temporary decrease.
C. Projects -
Terminal Area Master Plan (TAMP) — Ms. Amos reported the FAA currently have
the final chapters for review and are very close to approving. They have the full
document in hands to review. At this time since we have conditional approval of
site location, we will now move forward on the hangar development portion.
• Hangar Development- Ms. Amos reported in her weekly discussions with the
FAA, it was determined the airport would need to advertise for an Owner's
Representative to assist with preparing bridging documents for any projects
being considered for the design -build delivery method. Hangar development is
one of those projects so it will be included in the Owner's Representative
solicitation. Ms. Amos hopes to have the notice advertised within the next
couple of weeks. Discussion continued on this topic.
• Restaurant Lease Update— Ms. Amos reported as of February 5, 2021, Sandy's
Place has now relocated to their new restaurant. Airport staff is now working to
clean the restaurant facilities and equipment in preparation for a new tenant. At
this time, airport staff is exploring several options but no official decisions have
been made.

amending the current Agricultural Land tease with MJB Farms to include the
�► additional 61 acres purchased in the NW quadrant of the airport. This acreage will
