[26-0774 Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing TIRZ #2 Funding for Police and Fire Personnel Servicing Commercial Air Service At McKinney National Airport]

TWO FUNDING FOR POLICE AND FIRE PERSONNEL AT MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. MR. SHELTON, GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. BARRY SHELTON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION TO WALK THROUGH THIS REQUEST, BUT ESSENTIALLY THE FIRST SLIDE HERE IS GOING TO KIND OF SUMMARIZE THE ENTIRETY OF IT. THIS REQUEST IS FOR JUST OVER $1.25 MILLION FOR POLICE AND FIRE PERSONNEL AT THE NEW COMMERCIAL SERVICE. AIRPORT FIRE IS LOOKING FOR $424,000, ROUGHLY, TO FUND OVERTIME COSTS FOR TWO ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTERS DURING OPERATIONAL HOURS, AND POLICE IS LOOKING IS ASKING FOR $828,000 AND SOME CHANGE FOR THE SALARIES EQUIVALENT OF FIVE ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICERS TO HELP US MAN THE TERMINAL AND THE AREAS AROUND THE AIRPORT AS WELL. SO JUST VERY QUICKLY, THE REQUIRED FIRE COVERAGE WITH THE PART 139 REQUIREMENTS, THE FAA REQUIRES CERTAIN AMOUNTS OF EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL NECESSARY TO PROVIDE FIRE SAFETY AT THE AIRPORT. CURRENTLY, AS A GA AIRPORT, WE HAVE THE ARFF TRUCKS THAT ARE NECESSARY. WE MANNED 24 OVER SEVEN WITH ONE DRIVER OPERATOR POSITION THAT COVERS THE AIRPORT WITH THE AIRPORT FIREFIGHTER TRUCK, THE ARF TRUCK. THIS WOULD ADD FOR EVERY SHIFT DURING OPERATOR OPERATIONAL HOURS, IT WOULD ADD AN ADDITIONAL TWO FIREFIGHTERS, ONE CAPTAIN AND ONE FIREFIGHTER RANK TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE AS REQUIRED FOR THE FAA REQUIREMENTS ON THE POLICE COVERAGE. THE TSA REQUIREMENTS REQUIRE US TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LAW ENFORCEMENT TO SUPPORT THE AIRPORT SECURITY PROGRAM AS LISTED IN OUR OUR PLANS OUT THERE. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PROPOSING TO UTILIZE EIGHT OFFICERS PLUS ONE SERGEANT TO COVER THIS. THE NEEDS OUT THERE. IT ESSENTIALLY IS TWO OFFICERS DURING ALL HOURS WHERE WE'RE OPERATING THE AIRPORT. SO THAT BEGINS BEFORE THE FIRST FLIGHT AND ENDS AT THE END OF THE DAY AFTER THE LAST ARRIVAL. SO THE REQUEST IS TO FUND FIVE POSITION SALARIES FOR MEETING THAT NEED. AND THEN THE LAST THING IS JUST A REAL QUICK FINANCIAL SUMMARY. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS AT THE BUDGET RETREAT, I GUESS A WEEK OR TWO AGO. AND AS WE ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL SERVICE AT THE AIRPORT, IT'S GOING TO START BRINGING IN NEW REVENUE STREAMS. YOU KNOW, THE FIRST TYPE OF REVENUE STREAM ARE THOSE DIRECT TERMINAL RELATED REVENUES, PARKING CONCESSIONS, AIRLINE LEASE SPACES, AND THEN PASSENGER FEES. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE'S GOING TO BE ACCESS TO NEW TYPES OF FUNDING THROUGH THE FAA, THROUGH AIP ENTITLEMENT FUNDS, AS WELL AS FCS, WHICH ARE PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGES. THOSE WILL START TO COVER A LOT OF THE CAPITAL COSTS FOR THE AIRPORT.

BUT THE OPERATING FEES, AS WE GROW AND ADD MORE IN PLANE PASSENGERS, WE START TO GROW THE REVENUE. SO ULTIMATELY, WHILE TONIGHT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE TOURS TO FUND THE FISCAL YEAR, POLICE AND FIRE NEEDS, AS WE GROW THE AIRPORT AND IT BECOMES BUSIER AND HAS MORE FLIGHTS AND MORE PASSENGERS, THE INTENT IS TO WORK TOWARDS PROFITABILITY TO WHERE IT'S COVERING ALL OF ITS COSTS. SO IN SUMMARY, TONIGHT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT AUTHORIZES THE NUMBER. I'LL GO BACK TO THE SLIDE HERE. THE THE NUMBER

[00:05:06]

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. SHELTON? ONLY ONE, I THINK WHEN I WENT OVER THIS EARLIER I DIDN'T KNOW YOU SANG FIVE SALARIES, BUT THESE OFFICERS STILL WORK FOR THE CITY, SO IT'S ONLY WHEN THEY'RE AT THE AIRPORT. CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. SO THE TOURS FUNDS WOULD BE TRANSFERRED FROM THE TOURS INTO THE GENERAL FUND TO COVER THE SALARIES. BUT WE CAN ONLY USE THOSE DOLLARS WHEN THEY'RE ON DUTY AT THE AIRPORT OR WITHIN THE TOURS. OKAY. SO IF THEY HAVE A FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE HAVE A WEDNESDAY WHERE WE HAVE NO FLIGHTS, BUT THE POLICE OFFICER IS ON SHIFT, THEY WOULD BE ON A NORMAL SHIFT SERVING THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY, AND WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE TOURS DOLLARS FOR THOSE SHIFTS. SO IT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF FIVE SALARIED POSITIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION, MR. CHAIR. I'LL JUST SAY I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE THIS ITEM. I'M FULLY SUPPORTIVE AND I'LL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM. I'LL SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN, SECOND BY DOCTOR FELTUS. WE'LL TAKE A VOTE BY HAND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THAT PASSES. AND THAT'S OUR AGENDA FOR TODAY. WE DON'T HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION. SO I WILL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. SO MOVED. SECOND FIRST BY DOCTOR FELTON. SECOND BY MAYOR COX. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. WE
