VOTING: unanimous (6-0); motion carried. 6.0 Construction Update, L. Lackey In addition to the written construction update provided to the Airport Commission, Larry Lackey highlighted the following updates: Page 7 of 49  6.1 Leahy BTV will present at the South Burlington Development Review Board (DRB) Meeting for the Snow Removal Equipment (SRE) maintenance building next week on Tuesday 6/3/25. 6.2 Leahy BTV staff discussed that a portion of the runway pavement has been tested prior to the start of the runway closure for the runway rehabilitation. This testing is standard. 6.3 The concrete around the threshold lighting system will be worked on during the runway closure. The FAA will be providing the upgrades. 6.4 Today the Airport received comments from legal review regarding easements, so the Airport can start looking at easements and what applications we can submit next year. 6.5 There was discussion around the progress towards a glycol system. With a study completed, decisions on the best solution can be made regarding next steps toward a glycol recycling system, but scoping with the FAA as the next steps. This is part of Leahy BTV’s sustainability plan goals. 6.6 Discussion on the Runway Closure Project starting June 1. When the runway rehabilitation project begins on June 1, the runway will be closed to all planes from 11:45pm-5:45am. Flights that do not arrive on time will not be able to land at BTV or will be cancelled. Leahy BTV staff discussed the parameters of the runway closure project and the impacts to the airfield. 6.7 Jeff Bartley left the meeting at 4:53pm 7.0 Noise Data, 7.1 Noise Data 7.1.1 In addition to the written construction update provided to the Airport Commission, Larry Lackey highlighted the following: o The noise program continues to move forward smoothly. 7.2 Noise Comments 7.2.1 In addition to the written report, Executive Assistant Jesse Sprague highlighted the following: o There have been zero additional noise comments since the Airport Commission meeting held on April 30, 2025, so the data presented today is the same as the previous meeting. 8.0 Financial Update, N. Longo In addition to the written financial update provided to the Airport Commission, Director Longo highlighted the following: 8.1 Revenues are higher than last year, and both the cash on hand and Airport Improvement Plan (AIP) grant receivables looks great 8.2 The Airport’s PFC application was recently approved by the FAA, which allowed the Airport to start drawing down on a restricted PFC bank account. 9.0 Director’s Update In addition to the written presentation, Director Longo reported: 9.1 Mass timber for Project NexT has been delivered, as seen in the photos of the report. 9.2 The Fire Department uses fluorine free firefighting foam because VTANG uses it on their trucks. 9.3 The Commission meeting encountered some technical difficulties that resulted in the presentation being unavailable for a short period of time but the audio was not impacted. 9.4 Director Longo discussed the Residential Sound Insulation Program work that is currently being done on homes, as featured in the photos in the written report.

Upgrades may include replacement of windows and doors with acoustically rated products and installation or upgrade of ventilation systems. The sound insulation treatments are designed to reduce the interior noise levels to below 45 DNL and provide a minimum noise level reduction of 5dB. PHASES OF THE RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM (RSIP) 1. Sound Insulation Pilot Project (Phase 1) ($1.5M). This Program includes: Program formulation, Home eligibility determination, project schedule for this Phase 1 portion included 9 properties, and construction improvements are substantially complete. The close out is ongoing with the contractor. 2. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 2 ($2.20M) The purpose of the project was to convert incompatible residential units to a compatible land use by installing an acoustical treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by upgrading interior living areas as defined in the Phase 1 project and the Noise Compatibility Program. The Airport continued implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP). This grant included: community outreach, historic review, design and bidding of 52 homes, noise reduction of 6 homes which construction improvements were substantially completed and close out is Page 25 of 49  Page 2 of 6 ongoing with the contractor. Properties were located within the 70+ DNL FAA accepted 2023 noise contours. The installation of noise reduction materials for the 5 properties was completed. Materials were purchased for the 6th property however the homeowner left the area. It will be completed with the next phase of homes. The close out is ongoing with the contractor. 3. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 3 ($6.2M). The Airport is continued implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in more detail above. This grant was issued and includes: the construction improvements of the 52 Homes designed and bid in Phase 2, in addition it provides for community outreach, historic review, design and bidding of the next approximately 50 homes for improvements. The schedule for installing the noise insulating improvements for the 52 homes started in 2024. The Construction Improvements has started on this phase of homes and will continue through October 2025. See status below as of 20250624: Page 26 of 49  Page 3 of 6 4. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 4 ($3.9M EST.). The Airport is proposing to continue implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in more detail above. We are currently reviewing the status of the programing and will be able to detail this in our next month’s airport commission meeting. The initial grant for 16 of the 50 homes for construction improvements was submitted grant was received from the FAA. Also in the grant was the funding for the next 50 homes. As discussed we are completing the required new acoustical testing for the balance of the 50 homes so we can do a follow grant application on those homes. (See update above) The Buy American process moving forward but awaiting grant for the 16 homes. We received the grant for this phase however; the amount ($)’s was slightly less than what the application was. Based on instructions from the FAA we will leave the scope intact for this project and just amend the grant during closure. The Contact with Strong Tower to start construction improvements has been signed. Strong Tower is working on submittals and scheduling for this phase.

Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 5 ($2.4M EST.). The Airport is proposing to continue implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in the first paragraph in this report. It includes the construction improvements of 6 units that remain in the above 70 DNL contour. Also, due to the change in the FAA acoustical requirement additional funding is being requested for homes in outreach from Phase 4. We submitted a grant application to the FAA on April 28, 2025 for this phase. We are awaiting grant issuance. Page 28 of 49  Page 5 of 6 6. Noise Exposure Map Updates (NEM) (est. $.85M). The purpose of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant is to prepare a 14 C.F.R Part 150 Noise Exposure Map (NEM) update for Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (Leahy BTV). The NEM Update replaced the maps which were accepted by the FAA in 2019. Under the Federal requirements, the previous NEM Update indicated an update would be completed once the F-35A aircraft have been operational for one year. The scope and Independent Fee process are complete and a grant was received by FAA to proceed. Currently, the schedule, outlined below, and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings are being coordinated and outreach is proceeding with communities to identify these changes. Further, the Airport held in informational town meeting style meeting at the Chamberlin Elementary School on September 14, 2023 to discuss the proposed schedule and general updates to the process. Additional TAC meetings and public meetings were identified and planned under the proposed schedule. We received final word from the FAA and are moving forward the final noise contours. The map was released and presented to the TAC on October 23, 2024. We followed up with public meeting that evening in South Burlington and one was held in Winooski on October 24th, 2024. All public comments were responded to for the report. Submittal of the NEM to the FAA was completed the last week of December. The FAA has accepted the NEM and it was posted in local newspapers 3 times.
