Operations Wyles reported that a new employee has been here and is working. Last weekend was pretty busy after slow period due probably to weather. UK Leonardo still scheduled to come from end of August through September. Philadelphia-based Agusta too. Overall ops are down but jetA is up over last year. Dan asked about fuel prices – currently $6.65 for jetA and $6.35 for 100LL. A discussion surrounding price increases took place. Chandra said it takes about six hours to completely implement a price increase. Dennis mentioned fuel sales are the biggest revenue source. Last raise was March 11. Suggesting more incremental moves.

Ramp Rehab Update As mentioned at last meeting tie downs needed to be updated. Spec to increase tie downs resulted in an increased contribution required by the Town. FAA Grant money will be exhausted. Current project will enlarge apron and include 16 tie downs. Move fence line as well. $1.2M will be overspent. Project was adjusted due to costs. Work north of terminal was eliminated. Current project area includes surfaces most in need of repair. Jack went over some changes anticipated in the CIP regarding taxiway A5. Dan mentioned closing the connector by NOTAM. As a safety hazard illustration, he mentioned the alternatives. No improvements around the fuel island. The cracks around there are pretty bad. In house crack patch is available. CDOT will pay some amount to help airport. Dan asked if any cracks may be considered a hazard and Wyles said there are a couple. Additional discussion about Dibble participation and costs. It was decided that management a good feeling for some that need to be worked. Intent of management and board will be for crack repair to be done as hazard control. Andy asked about fence repair. Huxley/Ron was supposed to get back with a quote. B. Hangar Development Dennis created draft letter of intent which was reviewed by Jack and the town. Discussion of including a utility map which will be very important for prospects to be aware. Town attorney will now review. Both Selby and Fading West are still interested. VII. New Business A. County Roads 319 & 320 name change Proposal to rename CR 319 Aviation Road all the way to CR 320. Then CR 320 becomes Airpark Way. A contest to name the road was proposed to help with awareness and community engagement. Lee moved to note that the Airport Advisory Board agrees with the efforts to rename CR 319 and CR 320 to better reflect the purpose in a manner and name to be determined by airport management. Heap second and the motion was unanimously approved. B. CDOT Economic Impact Video Report Wyles played a video created by CDOT that demonstrate the benefits of airports and aviation to the economy. Heap noted the Telluride terminal building in the video was by the same builder as AEJ. Chandra pointed out that their annual report tries to break those numbers down further to specifics that impact the Town. Wyles showed that CCRA creates $15M business revenues, $7M value added, $4.2M payroll in 90 jobs. C. CCRA Draft Safety Policy Dan noted that step one for the Safety Management System (SMS) is to adopt a safety policy. He re-iterated that the intent is not to add undue workload to staff. He asked Jack & Chandra for input. One question was about auditing? AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD Page 2 of 3 Regular Meeting, May 17, 2022  Dan said it is overkill to look at EVERY hazard, but a representative sample is the audit selecting one or two hazards looked at in the context of SMS. Chandra asked what is the audience? Dan said he envisions a tab on the website for Safety as an interface between public and internal for reporting of hazards. “This hazard was reported, this was the outcome.” Also posted publicly on a bulletin board in house. Audiences are FAA, the public and internal staff. Committing to safety being a priority. Structure of letter was meant to address the FAA outline. Organize our efforts, both current and future, under a SMS. This policy statement is a “cover letter.” Link on website for “input.” Customer input is critically important. Customer can submit hazard. Everyone can do input, employees, others. Chandra has concerns that she doesn’t know the potential impact on her workload. Jack talked about nuts and bolts. Reviewing may be too much. Dan says he is committed to not increasing his workload. Jack talked about tumbleweeds as an example. Will change the contact to be general ops and ops email. Dan will contact Ron Neihoff for establishing a relationship and make sure the approach works for him. D. AWOS-3 Risk Assessment Exercise Dan proposed tabling this item. It’s part of the development discussion and we will keep it in mind as part of the safety discussion. No members objected to this adjustment to the agenda. VIII. Other Business Heap provided an update to the October 15 fly in planning. Knights of Columbus have committed to do breakfast and lunch. Reached out to pilots for aircraft. Need to have a budget, and like a fuel top-off. Scott has contact with EAA aircraft. We should come up with $ amount to help with fuel. IX. Adjournment Lee moved and Heap seconded a motion to adjourn, which was unanimous at 10:20 am. The next Board meeting is Tuesday, June 21, 2022.

The Airport Board serves as a liaison between the Town and the FAA on all matters pertaining to the operation of the Central Colorado Regional Airport and makes recommendations regarding airport operations and facilities to the Buena Vista Board of Trustees. The 2021 Airport Business Plan, which was approved by Town Trustees states: “The airport will explore the UAS market and opportunities to develop a niche market for this burgeoning industry.” Drones are registered just like manned aircraft with the FAA and are recognized as part of the aviation system. The Central Colorado UAS (CCUAS) is a 501 (C) (3), which has no paid staff, but relies on volunteers, memberships, and donations to fulfill its goals. The Club has been instrumental in encouraging and training Salida and Buena Vista High School Students, Search & Rescue, Public Safety, Research & Development, Community Outreach, Utilities. The Central Colorado UAS is partnering with the Town of Buena Vista to develop a Drone Training Park, which is a unique facility, which will attract academia, public safety, research & development, government, utilities, and private industry. CCUAS would benefit greatly by having an address at the Buena Vista airport rather than a Post Office Box as its mailing address and needs a secure place to store high-tech equipment and conduct business. TIMING: CCUAS is actively pursuing grants to develop student and work force training programs at the Buena Vista Drone Training Park. The sooner a permanent address is established, and space is identified, the sooner milestones can be achieved. INTERESTED AND/OR INVOLVED PARTIES:  Buena Vista Trustees  Advisory Board  AEJ Staff  FAA / CDOT-Aviation  Buena Vista Citizens  Chaffee County LEGAL REVIEW: As required RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve no-cost office space at the Buena Vista Airport for the Central Colorado UAS Club for a period on one-year. Renew the no-cost agreement annually based on the CCUAS’ continued contribution to the Town and Airport as an integral member of the aviation community and as a contributor to the community’s economic development. 1|Page
