Maybe this was in another presentation but can someone remind me what the projected net profit is yearly after the suggested improvements? How quickly will we recover the 3mil the City is looking to spend for our share?
Marie Kalka, Finance Director:
Ultimately, the goal is for the Airport to be self-sustaining. Given the financial considerations described in the Airport Financial Analysis Memo to Council dated April 16, 2021 and that the availability and timing of potential FAA/City funding is not known at this time, it is not possible to make such a projection.
Gary Job Corps could be a great partner with this venture since they have long term employees and tenants, and could serve as a location to conduct outreach and testing in the area.
Laurie Moyer, Director of Engineering:
Our research did not find an entity in Texas conducting this type of baseline health study, nor does City staff have the expertise to scope a long term public health assessment. Therefore, it would take a significant effort to pursue such a study if requested by Council.
Were we able to get clarity on the participants in the outreach? They said they had about 30~40 people but didn't take any demographic or stakeholder status information down?
Laurie Moyer, Director of Engineering:
Demographic data was not obtained from participants.
