to be with you and uh we'll go through our budget presentation with me at the table today is uh our director of finance priscilla diaz uh and our budget manager uh i think most of you know noelia orozco um when the numbers get really hard i'll just look at these guys and they can get us through on the numbers side of the house so um ready to go let's see where this goes so commissioners this this presentation is a slightly different than uh maybe what we've done in the past because there's a couple of really key issues that we need to talk about today um on your agenda and table of contents we broke this up into three different pieces the first piece is to come back to the terminal 5 program to give you a little bit of background and update on where we are with terminal 5 and the work we've been doing since we met with you uh last august at the budget workshop and the things that we still needed to complete in order to move forward with the program the second piece is uh really where we spend some time to talk about the airline lease and use agreement and the terminal building lease agreement they are companion documents this is the culmination of the negotiation with the airlines that we're bringing back to you we think we've landed in a really good spot in order to move the airport forward uh and we'll go through the elements of the deal and then that leads into the fy 27 aviation budget we lined it up this way because terminal five and the additional cost for terminal five is going to be actually part of the approved projects for the airline lease and use agreement that they will support the increases in the cost and then ultimately the fy 27 budget is geared off of the elements or the articles that are inside the agreements so we have to take it in that order in order for it to make sense so with that we'll just that we'll just jump right in so terminal five just to bring everybody back uh to the program structure for terminal five how it's put together uh broward county association department has general program oversight we retain the rights for the design um but we've contracted if you will in a sense with jet blue to actually oversee the program called a a program uh developer if you will uh they have the implementation responsibilities we execute that through the existing terminal building lease agreement and then after that jet blue contracts uh with four different entities here parsons doing the program management gensler was the design team hunt moss is the contractor and keith will be providing the inspection services uh the funds obviously come uh from the airport and they funnel through jet blue handles the contracts and then jet blue submits for reimbursement into uh into the county so in 2021 the terminal 5 program definition uh document was completed defining the preferred concept layout uh the activity levels the design considerations and the preliminary cost estimate of 306 million 2023 the project budget increased to 404 million increased was driven primarily by modifications construction definition utility infrastructures that was previously unidentified unforeseen circumstances our signatory airlines agreed to cover the majority of the cost via what we refer to as a majority in interest vote or an mii vote as you may recall airlines under our existing agreements have voting rights on our capital project anything over 150 000 they get to vote on because the debt service is covered through our rates and charges we'll talk a little bit about that how that's going to change in the new agreement in 2024 at the 60 percent design level resulted in a project increase to 654 million that increase again driven by further program definition advancement of the design global economic impacts including escalating cost of materials and services through the remainder of 2024 2025 the t5 project team uh was actively engaged in um and really reviewing the design closely and all the details to ensure alignment with the original program definition document as well as relevant uh industry cost additional contingency funds were incorporated increasing the total estimated project cost of 699 million that was still based on the 60 percent design the signatory airlines again uh agreed to cover the cost via an mi vote in june of last year that is what we brought to you in august when we presented we said this is where we are right now but we're still working through the design and our next steps were to complete the t5 design to a hundred percent jet blue and hunt moss would produce the final guaranteed maximum price or what we refer to as the fgmp for review and approval and then assemble and submit conformed design drawings for final permitting so where are we a hundred percent design was completed by the designer on december 4th of this past year hunt moss began pricing and bidding with the trades and subcontractors and jet blue received the proposed final gmp on april 27th 2026 jet blue and bcat commenced industry review of the construction packages and pricing after extensive reviews and analysis and industry benchmarking jet blue finalized the negotiations with hunt moss on june 9th which resulted in an fgmp of 702 million 338 thousand for construction uh and an overall program cost of 829 million dollars factors contributing to the overall cost increase cluster based on 100 design plans act rather than actual bids or excuse me rather than uh 60 design levels continued industry cost escalation and inflation cost is based on approval plans from the authority having jurisdiction the ahj working with building code services uh and a revised construction schedule longer than the original um planned estimate back when we did this in in the 2021 time frame and what does that look like for here program cost in august of 2025 was 699 august uh of 26 829 is the overall program cost adding that is with the final guaranteed maximum price building square footage increased by about 10 000 square feet as design uh was was developed to the 100 level uh the cost per square foot has risen as you can see right here uh from 1445 to 1531 instead of the six percent design plans at that figure we're working off 100 design plans right now uh and the estimate again from 890 days to take to complete it uh is coming in with the negotiations between jet blue and hunt moss at 1 277 days construction schedule assumption notice proceed would be october of 2026 or as soon as we uh have approval to be able to move forward with a substantial completion of march 2030 you can see some renderings of what the facility looks like over on the right hand side you've seen work possibly going on out there at the airport that was early uh work we've been doing a lot of utility work and whatnot subgrade uh as we were finally in the design uh for the building uh which stands to the east of terminal 4 terminal 5 is connected to terminal 4 through a connector which is a bi-level connector which contains both a secure as well as a non-secure side if you will so the folks that come from the garages can get over to terminal 4 uh we can have uh passengers who cleared security at terminal 4 or terminal 5 be able to float back and forth just like they can between terminal 3 and terminal 4 today and and another program that you are aware i think that's going on at the airport is what we call the terminal connector project which will connect terminal 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 behind security that's a 279 million dollar project we'll finish the first piece of that uh to connect 2 and 3 uh next summer uh and then the following spring in uh 2028 we'll complete the t1 to t2 and we will have full security of all our terminals behind security much like other airports do we go forward just to give you an indication what's happening around an industry um we we put this together you've seen some of this information before but to show how costs escalate from projects across the board fl terminal 5 is is up at the top from the 404 to the 829. uh miami hard at work on concourse k uh initial project estimate 600 million that is now looking like 746 million we anticipate that uh it'll also go further north as we go forward uh concourse d 827 million looks like it's now uh projected to be 1.1 billion and that's still in the procurement and design build phase see what happens with the cost there uh tampa airside d 787 million up to 1.5 billion at this point in time it's under construction jacksonville concourse b 344 up to 440 it's under construction with anticipated completion of 2027 a couple other airports and projects we have to go through every one of them we want to highlight the ones that are in the orange there uh they are florida airports uh so just from a geographical perspective to to indicate uh what costs are like in our region bna is nashville iad washington dulles and dfw uh at the bottom there little misleading on the bottom 1.6 billion was their first phase uh estimate uh the 4 billion is a is a is all their phases which actually is a doubling of the number of gates that are in that project mark can i ask you a quick question yes what in 2023 we had an estimate of projected cost of fort lauderdale 404 million and then two three two years later it more than doubled what was that because of expansion or because of price increases escalation and inflation um as we came out of the um covet ear uh particularly in south florida we saw numbers that's what we reported last year but we were also working mayor with um not a hundred percent design drawing so as the design was refined and they were able to drill down further and then ultimately it becomes a matter of the uh construction uh firm at this point a joint venture between hunt moss sitting down with every single one of the subcontractor trades and getting their bids and negotiating the prices out for their bids and we had and there are representatives from from jet blue uh who is managing the project here with us today we had them present this to the airlines so that it wasn't this isn't the airport or the county telling the airlines the price of the project going up this is one of your colleagues who is actually building this telling you that it's going up you may not know this you know i travel quite a bit a lot out of fort lauderdale and i'm and i and and i am i've never seen you there i am mosaic for for jet blue so they're such a great airline i can only want to talk good things about jet blue just great great great airline thank you sir um the the issue that we wanted to bring up and as we leak into the uh the lease and use agreement negotiations um is that at each uh one of these stages where costs have increased um our business partner airlines have continued to stay with us and have continued to vote to cover the cost of the uh of the terminal as we move forward none of us like the cost increases but we definitely need the gates at our airport so we're anxious to get moving on this um and get it done as quickly as possible so how do you pay for the overall and cost increases um commissioner far uh it's been uh a champion of trying to push us to make sure that we got our deal done uh with our airlines the governing documents if you will uh between the airport slash county and and and the airlines are these two documents the lease and use agreement as well as the terminal building lease agreement the history of this if you go back turn back the hands of time why do we need these documents well they're required by code uh section 240 of the broward county code requires that the county commissioners authorize any commercial activities or occupation of the airport or any portion thereof the lease and use agreement sometimes referred to as the signature agreement is executed with airlines that meet certain activity uh thresholds and minimum space requirements meaning you have to fly so many uh flights or seats through our airport but you also have to lease a certain amount of space for us that helps us make sure that we meet our revenue requirements as we're going forward along with the terminal building lease uh agreement that sets forth the lease terms and conditions defines what the uses of the airport facilities are and the rights of the parties they become really the documents that we use um to establish these relationships the lua as we sometimes refer to it typically establishes the financial commitments to the airport especially as it relates to capital development it also establishes the methodologies for how we calculate airline revenue requirements to derive airport rates and charges such as landing fees terminal building rents and other use charges the agreements that we're currently in today were originally approved by the broward county commission in 2011 for a period of five years commencing october 1st 2011 but were amended in 2014 extending the agreements for a period of 10 years that was done before the expiration of the agreement which brings us up to september 30th of 2026 in preparation for that expiration we began working with the airlines in 2023 we initiated discussions with the signatories also referred to as the airline airport affairs committee or triple ac to establish the framework for negotiations on new agreements identify key objectives and issues for both sides after extensive and collaborative efforts ensued it ramped up considerably in 2024 the airlines uh hired a liaison office to watch out for their their interests and we had dozens and dozens of meetings with various multiple participating entities at this time the parties have concluded their negotiations we are pencils down pending feedback from this commission uh bcat is prepared to submit the agreements for the commission's review and approval with a commencement date of october 1st 2026 what's in the agreement so here's the framework eight different signatory carriers jet blue delta southwest united american allegiant frontier and air canada all pull together and hire an airline liaison office clearly we couldn't negotiate with eight different airlines who want eight different things and try to meet everybody's needs we told them we were going to have one negotiating position on our side they needed to get together to figure out their negotiating positions at airlines on our side behind us county attorneys risk management county administration fasdy and a team of consultants county attorney myers your team has just been absolutely phenomenal uh behind us led by israel phajardo uh and uh kaylee rush primarily but many attorneys were involved in that at different levels michael owens folks um participating from different parts of the county risk management was involved finance steven farmers group uh along with our consultant group again all trying to deliver what we believe was the best agreement between ourselves and our airline business partners the key provisions of the new agreement uh it's a seven-year deal um it it still is residual based residual based meaning that the airlines still serve as our financial backstop we operate the airport on the revenues that we generate at the airport facility each year we come in for in front of you and this will be no different where we publish our proposed rates and charges if we have a a good year where we take in let's say more non-airline revenue than we anticipate and we're able to cover more of the expenditures that way the following year the airline rates and charges may go down but if we have a bad year and we have more expenditures or unforeseen conditions the rates for the airlines go up the next year um there are other terms of provision that are going to be really key that i'll talk about here in a second but while we are operating in the same type of environment residual based agreement versus what's referred to as a compensatory or even a hybrid model where the county or the airport would take on all the risk the risk in this case particularly lies back with our signatory airlines in return for the agreement for the seven years the airlines are willing to approve 3.2 billion dollars in general airport revenue bond funding authorization for capital developments and uh repair and replacement projects that includes 2.75 billion dollars for a master plan we'll refer to as phase 1a the board approved our master plan as well as the the faa and fdot back in 2021 that program is broken up into three major components phase one phase two and phase three phase one has two sub components to it phase 1a which primarily consists of the automated people mover system and the intermodal center two mega projects terminal five the palm garage demolition and redevelopment a new roadway system that comes through particularly around terminals two three and four so we can get better flow through our airport and a new central utility plan in addition to the 2.75 billion there's another 313 million for what we refer to as a state of good repair to make sure that all of the infrastructure of the airport is being properly maintained and repair and replaced as necessary so elevators escalators baggage handling systems hvac systems and alike we want to make sure that the parts of the airport that are not going to be new are getting the attention that they that they deserve to make sure that we are not in the news with other airports that i shall not mention right now who might not have working elevators or escalators of those types of things the team does a really really good job we had about 99 percentile on our uptime on our systems we're proud of that we want to make sure that we continue to uh to uh make sure that that's the reputation that we carry as an airport in addition to that um there's another 168.5 million in the revenue bonds side of the house for phase 1b phase 1b is actually the next terminal expansion of that's the terminal expansion of terminal 4 concourse g to get started on the early planning and design activities when combined with the other funding sources that we have available to us grants surtax pfcs this supports a capital program of approximately 4.8 billion dollars the seven-year term was uh was chosen to uh closely match the anticipated duration of the projects in phase 1a as we're getting started on apm imc on those projects and getting them into design and construction we're going to be closely following right behind it with the early design activities for phase 1b knowing that that is going to be something that is very important to our airline partners phase 1b provides you the documents we have a handout um that's an exhibit to the to the lease and use agreement and to the tbla phase 1b right now for the terminal expansion that's another nearly three billion dollars for that we're going to get started with the planning and design activities as soon as we can and then later we'll probably a couple years three years down the road whether or not there's a successor agreement that's negotiated to handle that at that point in time in addition to the pre-approved yes sir just so on the on the master plan phase 1b is the only part that that's committed to right now is the design not the not the the the the deal is structured commissioner that we're going to get started for the seven years we'll be really doing everything we can at cash flows at five or six hundred million dollars per year cash burn on that the phase 1b to do the terminal expansion we have to fix the front part of the house first but we didn't want to wait till the very end of phase 1a to get started so we negotiated to get started with phase 1b design activities right away when you take that 168 million and you'll see it in a different chart we combine that with some other funding resources that we have we have about a quarter about i was gonna say close to a quarter of a billion it roughly is about 235 million uh to put towards the early design activities for phase 1b okay but phase 1a is includes all of construction all of construction correct yes sir yes sir um in addition to the pre-approved um funding authorization uh we also needed to make sure that we addressed the items within um our our daily budget to start to develop better cash reserves for the airport that will give us greater flexibility as we go forward so there are three new deposit accounts to build cash reserves an airport development sub account be able to address extraordinary unexpected items five million dollars goes in for fiscal year 2027 and it grows to uh an upper amount of 10.61 million for fy29 escalates at three percent uh or cpi thereafter a cash reserve sub account starting in fiscal year 2027 2028 uh 50 cents per in plane passenger will be deposited in a cash reserve account that continues to grow up through fy 31 to 33 to a dollar 25 per plane passenger until 500 days cash on hand is realized that's going to give us the financial backing that we need that at some point in time if the airport ever wanted to pursue a different type of governance methodology we would have better cash reserves to make that cheap that leap to be able to go in that direction the other thing that's really critical important is the is the third one is the federal inspection services what we call a rate stabilization sub account um so when you fly in to an international airport there's a processing fee that most airports will charge uh ours you've seen it it's it be in our budget um if left unchecked because the two new federal inspection areas at fll uh one in in terminal four one uh costs a lot of money uh when uh traffic count international traffic count uh decreases those costs go up and then you start to work against yourself and say if those costs are going up how do i attract more business coming in we were able to actually create this fis stabilization account which caps our fis rate at twelve dollars with a five percent escalation per year and ensures competitiveness with other international airports when we take a look around in tampa or orlando in miami and we see rates of eight or ten or twelve dollars we want to be competitive with them to try to get the international traffic to come to fll yes sir would you mind using your mic sir thank you just noticed um i'm with everything i'm reading on federal government these days i just question how reliable of a partner they're going to be in the future how much of it looks like most of this money is generated locally from airport airlines and stuff how critical is continued state and federal funding i mean if it gets cut in half or something and we still do we still have enough to finish what we're contracting for um the answer is yes senator that that when we when you take a look at our funding model going forward um the commission uh and the and county administrator and the oversight board you know the surtax contribution to the two big projects is 380 million dollars and and we'll show you that um getting beyond that um the primary funding sources start to fall back on passenger facility charges when you fly there is a user fee uh in your in your uh in your ticket price that you pay that remits to the airport it's four dollars and fifty cents that comes back to us and we use those passenger facility charges for certain um related projects they have to be approved by the faa and then you start to get into what comes your way during the the either from the faa or from the state the state has been a great funding partner and in this case here monica and i met with secretary purdue and we continue to meet with the state um so far they've they've uh earmarked a approximately about 200 million towards the automated people mover system so we're counting on those dollars to come our way in the future the faa because the um the iija and the bipartisan infrastructure dollars are most likely going to go away although there's some discussion to try to get to an extent at the federal government level right now um we won't be able to count on those we'll have to rely on either um existing uh what they call airport improvement program grants um or pursue other opportunities where there might be and this is where the intermodalism place comes in um for for those types of activities to be able to get grant dollars that way you'll see that in our funding model and certainly um we'll take every bit of grant funding we can that way we don't have to use bond funding for that but it is our our expectation that we'll be able to flow it out thank you the last the the big one on this page that i think is um really really critical i mentioned earlier that in today's agreement um any capital project that costs greater than 150 000 we need to ask the airlines for permission we thought that that was obviously incredibly way too low in today's day and age so we've negotiated that that has now been increased from 150 000 to 15 million um so a project that's under 15 million that we we really need to do will enable us to do that uh without airline approval obviously we want to take a look at if we do those types of projects and we float more debt ultimately what's that going to have impact on the cost uh overall cost for employment while we're trying to also do these other big projects at the same time the other key provisions of the agreement modifications to the least preferential gates check-in counters and office space in today's uh world there is no annual reset of the preferential gates what what do you mean by preferential gate so our eight signatory carriers so long as they can demonstrate uh that they're going to provide the service that we need in terms of the flight activity uh as well as the the space requirements of of leasing to make sure that we have space that's at least in the in today's world once they meet that formula if they drop down it's incredibly difficult to recapture that from them in today's world a gate i could recapture from them in other words you you said you're at this activity um but as time went on your activity you dropped it dropped it dropped i could try to claw back that gate from an airline but the other space that's required in order to operate a flight ticket counters office space and whatnot was never included in those provisions so for the airport to actually get that space back from an airline so we could give it to another airline it was incredibly difficult if not possible the other thing is as we talk about preferential gates um that the airlines our signature airlines like to say when we say preferential you have this gate that's your preferentially leased gate you get first crack of how that gate is going to be uh utilized throughout the day if you say you're going to put six flights on that gate you're going to put seven flights on that gate you're going to put five flights on that gate you submit the schedule to us once you submit the schedule to us we look at how that gate is being utilized and if there's holes in between there we as the airport are entitled to use that gate and that's how we generally operate but there's never been a reset to be able to say you know right now you have 10 preferential gates but when we go through the formula year after year after year as long as you've met that baseline minimum i would never be able to claw back any of those gates meanwhile another airline may have grown significantly and was deserving of more gates but the formula never allowed us to get that so for example and i know my friends from jet blue are in the audience here jet blue in in today's environment has 14 preferential gates at one point when spirit was operating spirit had 10 preferential gates but because of their flight activity they should have been afforded 20 preferential gates but there wasn't that many gates to be able to afford them we couldn't take them back in the new agreement every single year we will go through a reset uh to see who's flying who's not flying in order to keep the airport in balance going forward and it's not just the gates it's everything that goes along with it we have 66 gates 56 of those gates will be um allocated for preferential use uh in in the first uh deal uh and then we re we retain 10 common use gates in order to handle all the other airlines so we have 25 airlines in total eight of those airlines are signatory 17 are non-signatory we will be using those 10 gates to operate all the flights for those other 17 airlines you know going through um that's going to give us greater utilization and uh versus the static the proprietary signage on the back walls right now most of the airlines have what we call hard static signage uh when we switch counters around we move airlines around it becomes very difficult to get rid of that proprietary signage so we've negotiated that we're going to change that going forward the minute we get an area back we'll be changing that out with dynamic signage so that we can move airlines around a whole lot easier you're seeing this at airports more and more and more at the back wall we're not talking about you know a 42 inch monitor we're talking about something that actually is wall size uh that is in dynamic electronic digital format so that we can actually uh change whoever's operating at that gate uh and and actually brand it very well i'm going forward and then last yes ma'am has this been signed already or it's no it will become uh the airlines are all in agreement um this will be coming so long as the commission is uh uh uh willing to endorse it it's coming to the board on september 10th but they're all in agreement but everything's all in agreement okay yes and then lastly enhanced uh airport airline communication and coordination this establishes a new uh program implementation management process for information sharing and collaboration meaning we're going to sit down uh with them on a regular basis and talk about all our projects and operational issues much like what was raised earlier today mayor whether it's line and queue management and ticket lobby or it's how they're parking their airplanes um the triple ac and the county to use best efforts to meet no less than quarterly um to discuss key matters and then the county and airline representatives use reasonable efforts to meet monthly to discuss and resolve issues related to facility utilization technology and design standards you know going forward this is all baked in to the new agreements after hearing from my board members i'm only going to talk positive about the great airline of jet blue okay i've heard that sir all right heard that so to close out the the lease and use agreement uh the new airline airport use and lease agreement and terminal building lease agreements provide for a financially strong operationally flexible and airline supported framework that enables the county to continue the transformation modernization and expansion of fll one of the county's key economic engines and to begin implementation on the next phases of the airport's development especially the critical land side improvement projects we've all talked about how difficult it can be to get in and out of our airport facility roadways are too small uh not enough parking many times and we're still moving people around our airport on shuttle buses when the other three large hub airports in the state of florida are using automated people technology and they've been using it for decades and decades but because we spend so much time so much effort to try to make sure that the the front door is fixed so that you can grow on the back side to get additional concourses and gates we wanted to say at the same time the new agreements acknowledge and recognize the value business partnerships with our airline community and their respective needs including terminal and gate development for future growth so while they would love to have not 66 gates but 76 gates or 86 gates until such time as you can get traffic in and out of the front trying to add more gates um to to a huge scale uh i believe would would cause um a severe detriment of how folks would come and go from our airport facility we do want to thank uh our airport uh airline affairs committee and their member airlines for all their engagement participation uh throughout this lengthy and iterative process it has been long and these even as recently as just a day or two ago we were still speaking language um to make sure that we had all the i's dotted t's crossed and some some issues every time an issue would come up um again eight different airlines are running it through their corporate councils and we get an issue that comes back and says i'm going to change it because you want it but it might impact uh your operation commissioner davis or it might impact commissioner fisher's operation and try to get it all worked out again very very iterative process lengthy process but we've landed i believe in a really good spot for for both parties involved here any other questions on the lease and use agreement we do these two parts first the terminal five again because terminal five is going to be part of the pre-approved uh bond financing to cover the cost for that it's baked into the lease and use agreement um as part of the 2.75 billion but because of those those accounts that are set up those deposit accounts and reserve accounts that are in um in the agreement they have to be part of the operating budget which is why we left the operating budget for last so the key budget highlights airline activity fiscal year 2026 total passenger payments are forecasted at 15.9 million which is 4.9 percent less than the fy26 budget but remember our largest airline went bankrupt and out of business and at 30 percent market share even though we had started to see a little bit of a ramp up prior to may 2nd from may 2nd until july 9th when jet blue really started to ramp up that was over two months worth of service um so to hit that market 4.9 percent i think is pretty good given what we've gone through um there was a comment i think commissioner dean you made earlier when we take a look at our traffic it's not in this report here the ramp up that in the backfill that we've received this far if i took a look at the seat count the number of seats that fly through this airport in december of 2025 versus december program for december of 2026 we're actually up two and a half percent in december of 2026 that's with the demise of spirit alliance and the backfill coming back in and we believe that that's going to continue to to grow to the point again where gates and competition for gates becomes very very dynamic and very stiff the fy27 payments are projected to be 16.51 million or 1.3 percent below the fy26 budget in payments but above where we think we're going to end fiscal year uh 26 by almost four percent on the financial performance side fy27's total operating revenue budget is expected to decrease by 4.3 percent compared to fy26 the fy27's operating expense is expected to increase by approximately 5.5 percent compared to fy26 and we'll go through uh some of the notable increases decreases if you will uh the net revenue budgeted to forecast um or budgeted to decrease excuse me by 34.9 percent compared to fy26 budget and decreased by 14.3 percent compared to the fy26 forecast there's a sub bullet there that again goes back to uh that fis stabilization rate so we created this stabilization account it's funded with approximately 55 million dollars and of that 55 million dollars we'll use the first 19.2 million to subsidize the revenue requirement from the airlines which is going to keep our uh cp rates and charges um pretty pretty flat but it's also going to keep that fis charge uh to travel internationally into our facility capped at twelve dollars ultimately that is suppressing it's artificially suppressing the revenue requirement that otherwise would have to be charged to the airlines the airlines were applauding this effort um again we have many of our airlines do not fly internationally so the notion of funding or artificially subsidizing uh for those that are coming in on the international side wasn't always well received but ultimately the way uh our our budgets work it would have had to come back to everybody across the board uh we came up with this innovative way our our uh our cfo who's no longer here with us who's moved on i was highly instrumental in in this working with um the liaison officer jason watkins and of course priscilla and noelia picked it up and ran with it as well so our cost for employment our rates and charges the cpe is budgeted at ten dollars and sixty cents which is 42 cents less than last year's budget or this year's budget i should say the cpe is supported by 19.2 million dollars of the fif stabilization rate and our fy 27 landing fee will also decrease by 7.8 percent down two dollars and 38 cents uh from where its current level at two dollars and 58 cents mr mayor can i better understand what the decrease these decreases how do they affect how do they affect the overall budget decreasing landing fees so the airlines don't have to pay as much the airlines but they're still charging will go down but they're still charging higher airfares the air the airlines are charged has nothing to do with airfares the airlines are charged according to what it costs for us to actually operate the airfield or the terminal we have cost centers that are broken out for each one of those okay so it'll go down based not based on you can't control these prices is what you're saying we can control them to a certain degree when we get further into the presentation commissioner you'll see how we we look at both non-airline revenue and airline revenue essentially the way our models work is you take all of our expenditures in very simplistic terms take all of our expenditures and apply the non-airline revenue that we get concessions parking advertising car rentals and apply that to our expenditures whatever is left over on those expenditures becomes what we call the airline revenue requirement what they have to pay us and what if that's 43 percent in our budget that 43 percent then is now divided into its cost centers how much is on the airfield how much is in the terminal building how much is on the land side how much is space that we have to take care of how much is common use space that needs to be taken care of there's a very elaborate uh what we call rate making methodology that is part of our agreement it's one of the exhibits um and that's how we've negotiated with the airlines about what they pay but does this not affect could this not affect the pricing because i've always heard that for example in miami-dade the landing fees are higher they are higher and so a lot of times the fares may be affected because they say we pay more landing fees so if these are going down it would you know behoove the airline you think that their prices would not necessarily go up i think what's driving the airline prices is fuel up fuel uncertainty labor labor was a huge huge increase going forward i think the the shiny moment in in that commissioner is quarter after quarter after quarter between you know the bureau of of labor statistics and the bureau of transportation statistics and surveys that are done all across the country fll comes out as either the number one or the number two lowest cost airport in the nation for average one-way fares and there's actually a chart in here that i'll show you where we are recognized called out by being the lowest in the in the nation right now at 261 average one-way fare lower than 50 49 other airports in the nation okay thank you and that's attributed to us trying to keep our cost as low and ceo garrity for jet blue made mention of this in one of her um her interviews when she gave about jet blue trying to create the latin american caribbean gateway hub i think she called out broward county and said broward county is wise to keep their costs as low as we can at the airport because it does help attract business coming into our airport these are just the the projections um again for the passenger trends all the way on the right the blue is domestic the orange is international you can see that we're still in recovery mode for some of the international forecasting 2.8 million on the employments for international if you look years back at 2024 2023 we're up into 3.7 million that is a direct function of all the international service that jet blue or excuse me spirit was providing now we're going to see with jet blue providing ultimately the bulk of the service with a latin american caribbean gateway hopefully the numbers in that orange are going to continue to increase increase and we're also seeing some of our other carriers indicate that they also are looking to fly internationally here in the future as well the more passengers that fly internationally through our facility the less need there will be for that fis stabilization those costs will pay for themselves through the head count that's actually coming through the facility the fy26 projected uh employments um decreased with spirits ceasing of operations but then there was anticipated backfield 27 employments are projected to be 16.51 or again 1.3 below fy26 budget but above where we're going to end fy26 on september 30th of this year so we came down but we're coming back up where we rank uh aci rankings just came out recently for the year 2025 20th in total passenger traffic in the nation 21st uh in domestic traffic 14th in international passenger traffic on the right hand side were our top uh markets for calendar year 2025 on the domestic and the international side the narrative on the left the way we read this is in the year to date calendar 2026 what's in orange is the 2025 comparison so 2026 fll had an average of 262 daily domestic departures versus 251 last year to 111 cities versus 101 last year meaning our domestic operation is doing better in 2026 than it was in 2025 inversely on the international side in 2026 65 versus 68 average daily international departures to 48 versus 51 destinations to 22 countries so we're running a little bit lower uh on international than we were last year but again hopefully with uh the work that jet blue and others are doing we and as well as additional air service development activities we'll see an increase on the international side as well what's the current airline market share so on the right hand side it's our current fiscal year october 1st through june 30th and you see spirit in there um that was the aggregate at one point in time spirit had uh thirty percent thirty one percent market share this was the nine month look for the fiscal year but if you when spirit goes out of business if you take a look at june only for fy26 you can see the jet blue has jumped up to 33.9 percent and some of the other airlines have also increased um you can see southwest even went from 9.3 to 10.8 delta went from 12.8 to 15.3 percent allegiant um mayor's favorite uh airline right now uh went from 4.4 to 7 percent so you can see that it was absorbed by more than just one airline across the board uh but in fact the july 26 numbers came out after we um submitted this uh presentation just came out the last couple of days uh jet blue uh for july uh for july only it was 37.8 percent i believe uh noelia um so it's even greater than the 33.9 percent yes sir would you mind using your mic thank you um you were talking about this where the hit where when you do the annual reset yeah so now you had a lot of changes here but but all those a lot of those things weren't reset yet right they're not reset yet so so gate counters all those things yeah they'll reset on october 1st so for example on the preferential lease gates jet blue has 14 preferential lease gates today right on october 1st jet blue will have 21 you know so and so like maybe a company like allegiant i will have because it's doubled the amount of passengers allegiant goes from more counters coming up right two to three uh uh preferential gates american goes more counters coming american goes they won't need more counters though just keep going they will not need more they need more gates but they're not going to need more counters they still have the two employees sitting there just push through thank you mayor um commissioner davis this was the uh commentary that i was talking about just pick this article up america's most affordable major airport is this convenient southeast gem surrounded by iconic destinations airfare in the united states climbed by more than 25 percent between june of 2025 and june 2026 per the bureau of labor statistics impacted by jet fuel costs and fleet shortages but not all airports are feeling the squeeze the 2026 report from localinsiders.com the digital travel travel platform highlights the most and least affordable major airports in the u.s and the numbers show that where you fly can significantly impact your wallet earning the title of the country's cheapest i want to say more affordable uh major air hub uh is fort lauderdale hollywood national with an average fare of 261.69 uh and a location convenient to several of the sunshine state's iconic attractions um so it is something that we see repeatedly over and over again and and that is largely due to uh the number of of lower fare carriers that we have uh flying through when we get into the financial performance again airline revenues two green columns from the fy26 budget to the fy27 budget that creates the variance so airline revenues 185 million in this fiscal year uh they're budgeted at 176 million in uh in the fy27 budget again a lot of these are a result you'll see because that airline revenue requirement goes down that is because of the stabilization funds that we've injected in rental cars goes from 83.8 million down to 79.6 million that's just a function of what we're seeing in the marketplace um and the number of passengers that are traveling through here same thing with parking we've seen some behavioral changes on the parking side it was 69 million uh budget uh looks like we're going to come in at 63 million at the end of this year and then 65 million is our projection for the budget for the budget for next year we see more folks taking things like ride shares to and from the airport and we think that has an impact on it concession revenues these are things that we're watching uh looks like we're going to come in at at 49.7 million for this year again some of that is a function of spirit uh sensation of service where terminal four in particular became a bit of a ghost town for two months but we're seeing the activity pick back up in terminals one and two where uh hms host and hudson are operating we're actually seeing quite healthy numbers over in terminal one terminal two so try to balance it out on the uh uber and lyft do don't we get a airport fee for each pickup we get three dollars uh per pickup that comes through if you recall when uh when uber and uh and lyft first started um before it was mandated by the state uh at in terms of the charges we were charging four dollars and fifty cents for a pickup and three dollars for taxi cabs and the state came in and overrode us and said you can't charge you can't you can't charge rideshare airport you can't charge rideshare more for that pickup fee than you charge a taxi cab so we had to lower the rate for uber and lyft from four dollars and fifty cents to three dollars to match the taxi cab who took a 33 cut that was back in 20 i believe so we're seeing certain days particularly during cruise traffic where we'll see 12 13 as many as 15 000 ubers and lifts come through the airport in a single day we can between terminal the the pickup areas that you see in palm garage and terminal three four pickup terminal three four we see as many as 400 ubers coming through in an hour through that area one every every five seconds coming through and when you add the other ones in you can see seven or 800 ride shares coming through in an hour the parking garages are not empty but we so we do see a little bit of softness in that area so we're looking at that really closely and again some of this is just demographics about what people are how they're getting to and from the airport as we as our parking comparable to miami and palm beach in terms of its cost our charges well our charges were we're less than we're less than we could raise the fee but we raised the fee a few years ago we went from fifteen dollars to twenty dollars in the parking garage and our valet went from 25 to 30 and in the short term we kept it the same thirty six dollars per day but we we changed how it ramps up because you in the before we raised it you could stay in that short term for half the day before you hit the top the top uh rate but because we wanted to see the turnover in there quicker to make spaces available we compressed it so you actually hit the top rate faster it's two dollars every 20 minutes when you go through there but we still have people to come in park in the short term not just for a day but for many days uh in a row going forward but the revenue numbers again we see different metrics on what's the duration of stay versus how many transactions we get um it is something that we continue to watch but ride share for sure has has changed quite a bit of the behavior of folks coming yes mark as it relates to the state legislatures and their mandates as to what we can charge when do we evaluate and go back into advocacy mode for those funding when do we do that they don't know what we're feeling not that they care but i think we have a responsibility for it i think that the it's a great it's a great question commissioner um one of the when that when that change was first enacted where it was you know you had a choice you could raise the fee on the taxi cabs from three to four dollars and fifty cents or lower or try to somewhere in between the decision at that point in time was not to raise the fee on the taxi cabs um there was still quite a healthy taxi cab environment there still is to a little bit but we we see 85 percent of the pickups at the airport commercial pickups at the airport are ride share and about 12 to 15 percent are taxicabs right now so we could play around and we're happy to look at seeing where that um where that fee should be i don't think that the state is going to change anything other than you can't charge more or less if you charge five dollars you charge five dollars you charge three dollars you charge three dollars there have been efforts we believe um at at the state level by some of the ride share companies to attempt to cap that at a certain point that you can't charge let's say more than two dollars which would be devastating and it is something i'm not sure patrick's in the room or or casey but that's uh that's something that we need to pay close attention to with our lobbyists okay we as we look at miami we always compare ourselves to miami or palm beach or whatever how do we compare on the fees the parking fees so when we raised the rates um two years ago three years ago now two years ago um you know we we did it in such a way that we tried to become comparable if we if we can to increase the revenue but not be the highest priced so we actually still do ride either right at or just below a tampa orlando or miami we actually have a chart on that commissioner would be happy to provide it to you we update it frequently to see where the charges are yeah but we are but we are not just competitive but much like the airfares i think we are the lowest um across the board okay one final question as it relates to or assert their tax and i know when we first started that was not included in the vote that i cast there was not a choice and what was not listed on there was for the airport to get any funding but we did it administratively and we're we were correcting doing so because we see the improvements that were made just because of that decision the commission yeah at the time okay where in this budget do you see that contribution from public taxes so the the surtax funding is in the capital side of the house um it's 177 on one side and 203 i think um 215 on the other side totaling approximately 380 million so those mega projects that we've mentioned the the automated people mover system and the uh intermodal center they're approximately 1.4 billion dollars apiece so those surtax funds go to those different projects along with the other funding sources by and large those projects are still going to be paid for by general airport revenue bonds and the debt service is going to run through our rates and charges and the airlines pick that up so i just like it's definitely oh i'm ever grateful all right just like to hear it sometime have like a oliver twist thing i said please sir may i have some more um type deal contribute even if we don't um the airport we're using our tax dollars as taxes impressive our business partner airlines would love it if obviously any any funding sources that that can offset those costs that are not being charged to revenue bonds and and the debt service being flowed through the model which they ultimately have to guarantee and pick up um is where we would like to reside so whether it's the state country work of my administration do we get any credit for that in the budget yes ma'am i'll give you all the credit and if i can make one um clarifying statement so just for the public that might not just one um understand when we're talking about public dollars we're talking about sales tax dollars not property tax dollars just to clarify that regressive the footnotes at the bottom of this page again during uh the pandemic whether it was cares or or crsa um crsa uh or arpa all of those funds are now uh expended there are no more injections of federal dollars to help offset our operating budgets it's a quick look at the revenue diversity you know where do the revenues come from on the right hand side is the fyi 27 budget of 409.4 million 43 percent of that is airline revenues 57 of it is uh non-airline so rental cars parking concessions and others that contribute to it um and again that note about the 19.2 million um helping to stabilize on the airline revenue side of the house our operating expenses uh the fyi 27 budget you can see the the variances on the right hand side from a budget to budget year where we see increases let's say in contractual services let's say janitorial shuttle bus services uh through the great work i think of our our chief operating officer mr nanomaker and his team to try to make sure we keep those costs on trying to seek operational efficiencies uh but other increases that we go down software uh it's a big number on 55.3 percent increase these are some numbers that are just out of our control it's what the cost for software support and licensing um law enforcement increasing from uh 56 million in uh the fyi 26 budget to uh 60 million in the fyi 27 budget utilities actually goes down a little bit insurance goes down and we have a slide that talks about some of these notable increases and increases on the on the next page so the notable increase is salary and benefits uh based on anticipated salary adjustments and increases to group insurance costs went up by 4.4 million janitorial 2.6 million increase based on contracted pricing and potential increase on rfp for terminals and aocc aoc is our airport operations control center apologies for the acronym uh million dollars equipment maintenance for costs previously covered uh under other contractual services that we're absorbing now they're no longer covered under those contractual services and then 5.5 million legacy security systems upgrade we're bringing some of our legacy security systems in house and doing it with our own folks uh in order to attain uh retain regain excuse me greater control and reliability rather than having it by third party contracted services that we're not always uh the reliability wasn't where we needed to be decreases 2.7 million insurance decrease reflecting uh normalization um after hurricane ian 1.1 million as i said electric utility went down based upon county estimates and 832 000 due to operational efficiencies so the key rates and charges uh when you go across our employments uh you go across our employments again 16.5 million on the employments the landing fee uh is two dollars and 38 cents versus two dollars and 58 cents our type 2 uh space inside the building which is the the uh the type space that we use to price everything out for our airlines uh is uh two dollars two hundred fifteen dollars and 72 cents a little up from its 202 the fis fee uh currently at 14 dollars in today's budget but we're capping that at 12 dollars again it's a two dollar decrease try to make sure that we remain competitive in the international arena to attract more international carriers so our aggregate cost per and plane passenger it was budgeted at 1102 uh in this fiscal year budget our forecast uh with with everything applied in here looks like we're going to come in at ten dollars and thirteen cents uh but then for the budget uh it's ten dollars and sixty cents for the fy 27 budget so um the pink column in the middle didn't want to confuse you but the pink column in the middle where it says unadjusted that's what our rates would have been if we didn't apply the fis stabilization funds in there so you can see that our fis fee would have jumped from fourteen dollars to twenty one dollars higher there are these numbers based on because of the signatory contract is that part of everything is based um all of our deposits to our accounts that are talked in there that become a commitment and obligation and how we fund um all of our rates and charges that's all baked in here okay so those that 50 cents per in plane passenger or the deposits to the the development reserves the five million dollars all of that becomes part of then we go we take all of the obligations and the commitments and we run it all back through the rate model to get to get these specific rates how much to the airfield how much to figure it out yes sir and they do that will they do be doing that once a year yes sir we do we reset every single year as i said if we we set our non-airline revenue those fees that i or the revenues that i just went through concessions parking and whatnot we we project how much we think we're going to do and if it comes in higher then these rates you would see would go down uh the following year okay it does ride um up and down depending upon um how how conditions are mark earlier you had said that we were at 261 the close to the lowest or we were the lowest i didn't hear whether you said in the region or the country that's in the country yes sir u.s domestic um that's not an international and in those um senator those those um uh statistics and and uh surveys in this case this was a uh taken from the bureau of labor statistics so when they publish new data we watch um depending upon you know who's doing the surveys if it's an external survey um those numbers fluctuate a little bit but this one was from the bureau of labor statistics your your mic solar energy i'm just looking at improvements and what are your plans for that because we are looking at how we utilize the services of dso currently can you separate your your fire from your law enforcement budget we can do that commissioner yes we have that separated out um it's not in the presentation that we will make sure that you you have that data for you so you can see what the increases are with respect to the first question on the environmental and particularly with the solar that is something that we're always looking at how do we you know develop um efficient facilities so terminal five for example lead certification when we look at the intermodal center and whether or not you see in some locations whether there could be solar panels or arrays that might be able to to be positioned on top of that facility going forward the rest of the campus is is pretty tight and wouldn't allow necessarily for a solar array but it's something that we have looked at so we're looking at other opportunities that we might be able to enhance savings and and increase our our environmental responsibility in that regard are you using wheelchair that are automated that i sit in and it takes not yet um they are in use at other airports but they're in use they're procured and in use in most places by the companies that provide the services directly to the airlines and they invest in them i actually had somebody that told me they used one um i actually saw them in in service up in uh detroit um i didn't ride it myself but i did see it in action so i did so yeah i'm just curious as to when we're going to get there i don't like them because they're taking away jobs so that's my reason for not supporting i walked this it wouldn't be something commissioner that we would be investing in ourselves just yet that there's there's approximately 55 different companies um what we call airline service providers that provide the services to the airlines and that is a service that's provided to the airline by one of several companies they may choose to invest it but we haven't had any conversations with anybody just yet about putting them into fll the uh to close it out the capital budget uh 152 million for the fy 27 of that uh how much of it actually hits our airline rate basis 79 million 64 million in bonds 14.6 million in what we call cash that actually flows through um our rate model and then non-rate base uh contributions to the capital program passenger facility charges for pfcs fdot faa and then also getting some fema money for damages that we incurred at different points in time whether it was due to the flooding in 2023 uh or some other issues uh we're looking to get those monies into the capital program here it's just no no yes the last bond issuance that the airport did was in 2019 um so we are gearing up to actually once the board um hopefully approves um the agreements with the airlines we're working with the finance division to to they're backed by they're by the airport revenues so it is external to the county and it's fully backed by the credit of the airport that's why the airlines are our financial backstop and they covered the debt service through the rates and charges as opposed as opposed to the other model we may have used the other model if we took on all the risk it would be if you had um if you had a really downturn so for example back in fiscal 2020 during the pandemic when everything dropped out even with federal funds coming in we still needed to go back to the airlines and and and get additional monies for them in order to make sure that we maintained debt service coverages and paid our bills and several of the airlines had to check had to write checks to us in the millions of dollars they became our financial banks or they were our financial banks which is why you're recommending this for september 10th yes sir yes sir just trying to bring it home yes sir that's just a breakdown of how it's uh you can see the the majority of everything that we're going to be doing going forth in the future but not all of it is in the land side that is intermodal that is apm that is roadway construction um that's where you're going to see the next five years fixing the front side of the airport the intermodal centers you know gets another seven thousand uh provides another seven thousand parking spaces for the airport last couple slides here the capital program five years just breaks it out by fiscal year where the expenditures are most notable i think in here you can see in fy 28 fy 29 and fy 30 you see big numbers that's where the expenditures on the land side 611 million 1.1 billion 710 million that is us investing in the front door of the airport and getting those big mega projects done north perry um on the airfield fy 27 28 um and then land side i know we're still working on the perimeter pathway uh around the airport going forward uh that's broken down in a couple different phases commissioner we can give you an update on that perimeter pathway project as well this is just the laundry list of of all the different projects that are in the fy 27 capital improvement project won't bore you with any of those um and then we have what we refer to as renewal and replacement projects vehicles uh computer hardware common use equipment what not all that totals up to the 152 million i believe that's it question yes sir on the apm which is the top thing that you have on the 2027 cip um can you we've been talking about both the apm and the airport seaport uh connector for a long time can you just give us a very very quick update on status of each you know i've i've had some questions not about the apm but on the airport seaport convention center connector because of my questions as to whether or not we will ever in any of our lifetimes reach an agreement with fec um it's my understanding we don't actually need an agreement or we do i know we need the aerial rights um do we need anything else from fec to make the airport seaport convention center connector work i'll defer to the county administrator on the airport seaport commit center connector the two projects that the airport is lead on are the intermodal center and the automated people mover system and we remain in ongoing discussions uh um assistant uh county administrator keller her myself ismi uh met with fec as recently as a couple weeks ago so those dialogues continue um about i've been meeting them for 35 years waiting for our first agreement we um we're very optimistic we we'll get something done um and they are necessary for the apm and its configuration to be able to service um the intermodal center and that's why we're we're at the table with them uh working through those issues with them so the the not the apm but the um imc right intermodal center is dependent on reaching agreement with fec no no yeah good because i was going to say because then i'll just give up on it the intermodal center no you go on that i'm going to the intermodal center sits on fdot property so we have an we have uh ongoing uh discussions with fdot regarding the lease for that property that doesn't touch the fec right of way but to be able to get to the intermodal center via the apm guideway we cross over the fec right away at about 60 or 65 feet in the air in order to feed into the intermodal center when we did the environmentals for the projects the intermodal center as well as the apm um and and the discussion about the airport seaport connector they're all viewed as as having independent utility meaning any one of them could operate on its own um and so the intermodal center could operate on its own it would just require surface transit to be able to get back and forth to it at that point in time i.e buses so to switch gears thank you mark on your question related to the the connector so none of there's no need for fec it's all county property for the connector so and we're already in the pd and e phase for that project and that is under the transportation department that is the lead for that project and we're looking at um around i think it's uh 2032 for completion so because while i have serious questions we'll ever be able to get use of their tracks just to get over their tracks that you know since i know we don't have a state of west florida west of where henry plants tracks were we don't have a state of east florida everything east of fec and the third state between fec and csx i know there's a way of our getting over their tracks we may not get access to their tracks but there have to be ways of getting over them and i know if we have to go eminent domain we can and and for that project is as mark was sharing i think it's really about the connection between the automated people mover going across over to the imc once you get over to the imc at that point that's what we would use to connect to the light rail system to connect the three um and um uh economic engines so and that's all on county property thank you yep and mr gail thank you as well thank you commissioner senator uh and mayor and commissioner i just want to be as i close out here just again i wanted to recognize that um uh jet blue uh representation um martin mares our corporate real estate representative that that um meets with us almost every single day where jet blue and uh and cody also with jet blue is with us here um again we've we've concluded our negotiation with the airlines they they are in agreement uh with this county attorney's office has scrutinized it um any administration i think we're ready to go and we'd like to be able to bring back the first of the signed agreements if you will on september 10th what was done in 2011 is even though all airlines are in agreement with this some of them take a little bit longer to get through their corporate processes so in 2011 the motions were here are the airlines that are ready to sign but these other signatory airlines that still have to go through their their boards might not be able to get through to october or november was a motion that said we're going to treat your grant shoe signatory status to the end of the year and while you go through your your corporate process if by the end of the year you haven't signed you revert back to non-signatory and you also pay us everything back um at a non-signatory rate so that's what we anticipate bringing forward and mr mayor i was a little confused i know jet blue is here based on your earlier remarks which did you like better jet blue or legion i was unclear on that yeah who's with jet blue okay great airline great airline mosaic four by the way okay quick question try their mint service it's the best in the business anyway before before you close out mr mayor i wanted to ask about perry airport i know it's not really outlined much here but are there no plans to expand there to expand the airport well the the tenants um other than the the developments that you have out there right now um that have been in process for for years there's no significant developments planned um commissioner no runway i mean runway enhancements from safety and lighting and you know the conversations that we've had but um to take space and actually do more construction on the airport there's nothing in the immediate future future right now occasionally you'll see and we'll coordinate with your office when we issue what we call a request for a letter of interest if we have a uh an area that we think is good for development to see what the interested parties are um but we haven't had any of those recently like nothing nothing recently okay good yeah the residents will be pleased about that and then i know we have underway the studies and we're looking forward to those results so that we can at least get back to them on on what those entailed both the safety assessment and the lead study they're on their way now okay perfect and as far as the faa coordinating with them on any improvements the tower all of that is that still moving ahead we continue to have the conversations them it's an faa and tower we are on their list but the faa tower there is is significantly down but we continue to try to get a time plan for them when they might be willing to replace that control tower um we continue to work with various branches of the faa to get um them to give us data on all the inspections that are taking place and why can we not help i i raised this issue with with a really high level senior member of the faa uh just a couple of weeks ago and said we we want to be a help we're not trying to take up your job we just want to be a help uh and then i think there was those issues about the pappies that the lights um they were repaired and then the rest of the pappies are all going to be replaced as part of the airfield lighting project i think by the end of this year mike i think so all the pappies on the airport actually get replaced by the end of this year perfect thank you okay before we close um council i just want to make sure so do we have a consensus do we need to say do we have to have a consensus on this it's on you're saying on well i mean you're you're going to actually vote on the next meeting yeah okay september 10th it'll be coming back to you for the but they're needing to know if there's any concerns have it now no i think i think everybody's raised their comments just trying to assure it right i got it okay so um last but at least uh senator rich would like to yeah yeah i've i've spoken with administration about this and um we at our last workshop um we discussed the family trial court administrator program if you remember the chief judge was here and two other judges and judge team in bristol uh and uh judge alpristine and um and the court administrator joe domico and we had a general consensus of it um then we went to the meeting and the meeting was cut short the the our regular commission meeting and we did not have a chance to finalize it so i have asked the our administration you know how do we now handle this so it was i was advised i should really just kind of bring this up today because of the fact that we did have a consensus but and they have the money there but need need an approval so to speak i thought we already had a consensus thank you senator but we but i was advised yeah that they need to hear it right so and thank you senator and for bringing this up today in the budget context um it was a budget discussion um it was something that originally senator rich had brought to the board after the initial um uh priorities were set but she brought a separate agenda item to you all there was a discussion item only with no vote and that is why um i had asked her to bring it forward again to get consensus from the board from a budget workshop perspective and it was perfect because today was a budget workshop well that's budget hearing for that we all had a consensus on that it it never made it to discussion um on the budget workshop so but if you guys have consensus today we will move forward and there's sufficient reserves for the one-time uh program again um and and then we can reevaluate it after november count me in i believe we all have already talked about this we did but i just need it's the family court uh program i understand the program what i'm trying to determine did we decide to it when we did it the first year it caught us off surprise off guard but we support it are we asking to to do it again this year that's correct and are we act being asked to increase the funding to the program what are we being asked i don't recall fully what was the final decision are we increasing are we just doing what we did the previous year what is the request if if you you want to cover it i'm happy to um what's your item if you'd like it it it is to continue this program they have implemented it i have a whole list here of 209 families that have been referred to family court services for services and no no financially it would be the same it would be the same to do it again on a one-time basis um pending uh the outcome in november to see if there would be an consensus consensus consensus consensus and monica you're talking about just in your proposal we've got at least five consensus here yes thank you that's all i need thank you very much okay thank
