PATRICK LEAHY BURLINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BOARD OF AIRPORT COMMISSIONERS MINUTES OF MEETING January 7, 2026 Location: The Wright Room 1200 Airport Drive, South Burlington, VT 05403 [Hybrid meeting] Approved 2/4/26 MEMBERS PRESENT: Jeff Schulman, Vice Chair Helen Riehle Chip Mason Andrew Savage Al Turkos MEMBERS ABSENT: Tim George, Chair Robin Guillian BTV STAFF PRESENT: Nicolas Longo, Director of Aviation Larry Lackey, Director of Engineering & Environmental Compliance Jeff Bartley, Director of Innovation & Marketing Jesse Sprague, Executive Assistant Madison Regan, Environmental Compliance and Project Manager Alexandra Cohen, Marketing Assistant Romeo von Hermann, Customer Experience Manager Dave Carman, Deputy Director – Airport Operations Marie Friedman, Director of Finance OTHERS PRESENT: CCTV 1.0 Call to Order 1.1 Call to Order Airport Commission Vice Chair, Jeff Schulman, called the meeting to order at 4:35pm 1.2 Acknowledgement of Remote Commissioners Individuals attending the meeting remotely identified themselves (Chip Mason, Andrew Savage) 2.0 Agenda Approve/Adopt Agenda MOTION by Helen Riehle SECOND by Chip Mason to approve the agenda as presented. VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried. 3.0 Public Forum 3.1 Lief Taranta commented on Immigration Customs Enforcement presence at the airport 4.0 Consent agenda: 4.1 Approval of the minutes MOTION by Helen Riehle, SECOND by Al Turkos, to approve the minutes as presented in the agenda packet, including Minutes from the May 28, 2025 and December 3, 2025 meetings. VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried. 5.0 New Job Descriptions 5.1 New Job Descriptions MOTION by Al Turkos, SECOND by Helen Riehle, to recommend this organization as presented in the memo DISCUSSION led by Aviation Director Nic Longo. Discussion included: if approved, this memo can pass to Board of Finance for them to approve and recommend that the City Council approve: one Operations Specialist position be added to the Operations team; one new Ground Transportation Working Foreperson position to be staffed during the nighttime hours; and the tiering of the existing Maintenance Worker position into Maintenance Worker I and Maintenance Worker II. Both job descriptions for the Operations Specialist and Working Foreperson are existing. The tiering of the current Maintenance Worker position allows an employee to be hired into the Tier I role, and after obtaining certain requirements, that employee can occupy the Tier II role. Tier I is a grade 14, and Tier II is a grade 15. The airport has been working with the AFSCME Union to create this job description. All positions are currently within the budget, so a budget amendment is not requirement. These positions can be posted as soon as they are approved by Board of Finance and City Council. VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried. 6.0 Aerodyme Lease 6.1 Aerodyme Lease, N. Longo MOTION by Helen Riehle, SECOND by Al Turkos, to approve the memo as presented. DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. Discussion included: this lease will expand Aerodyme’s footprint at the airport and offer a four-year lease extension followed by a one- year extension option. This lease will add Pod 4 to Aerodyme’s rental space. The rental rate is lower than other similar leases because the condition of the space is poor. Pod 4 will eventually be demolished, so Aerodyme’s future vacancy of Pod 4 is expected and included in the lease. VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried. 7.0 GSA/TSA Lease 7.1 GSA/TSA Lease, N. Longo MOTION by Helen Riehle, SECOND by Al Turkos, to approve the memo as presented. DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. Discussion included: during the TIP project for the South Concourse, TSA offices were relocated to accommodate the construction. Since that point in time, the airport has been building new space for TSA to occupy near the checkpoint. The General Services Administration (GSA) negotiates leases on behalf of TSA and other government agencies, so the lease for the new space is with the TSA and GSA. This lease allows the TSA to occupy the new office spaces that have been built. VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried. 8.0 Hangar Condo Association Lease 8.1 Hangar Condo Association Lease MOTION by Al Turkos, SECOND by Helen Riehle, to approve the memo as presented. DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. Discussion included: the Hangar Condo Association (HCA) built their own hangars and rents to the general aviation community. HCA owns the buildings and expenses related to the buildings. Their current lease is still active; HCA is interested in a lease extension of ten years for their aircraft storage. This lease is for the ground space where the HCA properties are built. VOTING: unanimous (5-0); motion carried. 9.0 Construction Update, L. Lackey In addition to the written construction update provided to the Airport Commission, Larry Lackey highlighted the following updates: 9.1 Item two: this is the South Terminal Expansion Project. This project would have required borrowing money in order to start around 2029. The Airport is submitting a funding application for $65 Million to pay for this project. Then the money would be secured through the AIP project. For each project, the Airport pays 10% of final costs when we receive grant payment for a project. 9.2 The Airport pays its last bond payment in fiscal year 2030. The Airport will be able to pay for the South Terminal Expansion Project with a bond if the grant funding does not get approved. 9.3 Item three: Goal is to submit the grant application for the cargo apron by April 2026. 9.4 SRE building: this project is estimated to be a $26 Million. There is a bid meeting next week on January 16 with the contractors to open the bids for the project. 9.5 The FAA CIP for FY26 has been resubmitted 9.6 BETA is moving forward with its B build. Ideally construction can start over the summer 10.0 Financial Update, M. Friedman In addition to the written financial update provided to the Airport Commission, Director Longo highlighted the following: 10.1 This report reflects the first five months of the 2026 fiscal year. 10.2 Last year, there was a difference in the time we received stimulus money; while it may look like revenues are much lower than last year by $1Million, but this is due to dates which we received funds. 10.3 The fourth page shows a metrics sheet that compare financial recovery after the pandemic. This chart shows revenues that are higher than before, so revenues are doing well. The last few months have shown fewer car rental and concession revenues, but the revenues are still sizable. 10.4 The last document in the report shows cash and reserves, so some accounts are restricted. 11.0 Noise Data and Updates 11.1 Residential Sound Insulation Program Update 11.1.1 In addition to the written construction update provided to the Airport Commission, Larry Lackey highlighted the following: o Closeout for Phase 1 has been submitted to the FAA. o Documentation for Phase 2 closeout is in process, now that financial items are all set. o Phases 3 and 4: construction is largely complete. Contractor is cleaning up homes. o Preconstruction meeting for phase 5 happened today with contractors. o Goal for Phase 5 is to start construction by summer 2026 o For Phase 6, we will be applying for money to complete: construction administration and resident project representative money for homes funded through OLDCC funds. We will also apply for money to fund more homes next year. o No additional comments regarding noise data reports, but this data will be available quarterly. There has been one additional comment in November and December. 12.0 Director’s Update In addition to the written presentation, Director Longo reported: 12.1 In the new terminal, there are custom made utility elements to contain lights and wires that are essential for operations but are not visible to distract from the mass timber. 12.2 Part of the North Concourse pathway will close during the new construction, and there will be signage and everything necessary for passengers as they pass through to their gates in the north part of the terminal. 12.3 Students at the Chamberlin School named the snow equipment that Leahy BTV employees use to keep the runways clear of snow in the winter, and the school partnered with the airport to announce the names. 12.4 Leahy BTV hosted a staff party to appreciate the staff at Leahy BTV. 12.5 Leahy BTV is tracking where cars in the parking lot are coming from by the number of different states represented by license plates. 12.6 Nic Longo is a board member of the Vermont Aviation Advisory Council, which met in December 2025 and meets quarterly. 12.7 Chubb is the airport’s insurance company who visited in December for their audit of the airport. 12.8 Leahy BTV participated in a kickoff meeting for receiving OLDCC funding 12.9 Each year, Leahy BTV sends a few staff members to the Snow Symposium in Buffalo NY. 12.10 Projected seats are based on the schedules reported by the airlines. The underlined numbers in the passenger statistics slide is 80% of the reported scheduled seats. 12.11 October 2025 was the month with the highest passengers ever recorded in a single month in the airport’s history. 13.0 Commissioner Items 13.1 Commissioner Items: 13.1.1 No Commissioner items. 14.0 Follow Up Items 14.1 No follow up items 15.0 Adjournment MOTION by Al Turkos, SECOND by Helen Riehle to adjourn the meeting.

DISCUSSION led by Aviation Director Nic Longo. Rehabilitation of the runway is part of routine runway maintenance that is necessary every ten to twenty years. Pike Industries was the lowest bidder in the bid selection process, so their bid was selected for the work. Taxiway C will be closed, and the project will start sometime next year. Commissioner Guillian pointed out on the map in the room where Taxiway C was located. There is no grant currently for the project, however, the project is funded through entitlement funds with costs that come to the Airport based on passenger numbers, so funding is guaranteed. Jeff Schulman joined in person at 4:17pm. VOTING: unanimous (6-0); motion carried. 5.2 RSIP Phase 5 Contract Memo MOTION by Connor Daley, SECOND by Greg Shepler, to recommend that the Board of Finance and City Council approve: the execution of contracts with Strong Tower and the Jones Payne Group for Residential Sound Insulation Improvements; and the execution of a related FAA grant, as outlined in the agenda packet.

The Jones Payne Group (JPG) will continue outreach associated with the noise program as part of this program. More details about the noise program and eligibility can be found at btvsound.com VOTING: unanimous (6-0); motion carried. 5.3 Beta Technologies Lease Memo MOTION by Connor Daley, SECOND by Robin Guillian, to recommend that the Board of Finance and City Council endorse the execution of a non-aeronautical real estate lease at 25 Customs Drive with Beta Technologies as outlined in the agenda packet. DISCUSSION led by Director Longo. The previous lease at this property was held with Aviatron, which has moved to Essex Junction. Donahue and Associates listed the building, and Beta Technologies was the only interested party to lease the property. The rental cost is slightly increased from the previous tenant. The lease includes a 5-year renewal option, and Beta plans to make some improvements to the building for their business. Discussion was had regarding whether Commissioners ought to view contracts in final form prior to making a motion to recommend to Board of Finance and City Council. Commissioner George clarified that the motions specify that the recommendation is based on information presented in the agenda packet alone. 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 181 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.

The Department of Defense (DOD) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which agrees that the FAA cannot regulate military firefighting services. The DOD has higher standards for inspections than the FAA, which eases the Airport’s ability to pass the FAA inspection. The DOD standards apply to Leahy BTV because the Airport is joint use between the terminal operations for commercial flying and general aviation, as well as military usage. 9.10 Departures as featured in the written report only measure airline departures out of BTV 9.11 The numbers reported in the chart and graph are incorrect; a corrected report will be posted to the agenda packet at a later date with the correct numbers. The new data will be in an updated report as an additional attachment marked by the date it is posted. 9.12 Passenger statistics are based on passengers who originate their trip at Leahy BTV. 9.13 Director Longo discussed passenger ticket purchasing data. 10.0 Commissioner Items 10.1 Commissioner Items: 10.1.1 Commissioner Guillian reported on the following: o Request for the placement of a sign to alert drivers to the presence of goslings near the Vermont Flight Academy. o The Ninety-Nines, a women’s aviation agency, is hosting their conference in Burlington over the summer and requests the Airport be involved. o Burlington High School’s Year End Studies (YES program) will be visiting the Airport on Monday. 10.1.2 Commissioner Shepler asked about the bus system and how the Airport identifies cars in the parking garage.

The Airport provides access to Uber and Lyft. The Airport is looking into providing Level 1 electric vehicle charging in the parking garage. Commissioner Shepler also asked about how the Airport verifies abandoned cars in the garage. Director Longo said that the Airport is looking into a system where the Airport can track cars by license plate to be aware of how long cars are in the garage. 10.2 Recommendation to Reappoint the Director of Aviation MOTION by Jeff Schulman, SECOND by Connor Daley, to approve the letter written to recommend the reappointment of the Director of Aviation. VOTING: unanimous (6-0); motion carried. 11.0 Follow Up Items 11.1 Eldridge Cemetery Flagpole Updates Page 9 of 181 11.1.1 This will stay on the agenda at the next meeting.

Page 14 of 181 Page 15 of 181 TO: City of Burlington, Airport Commission FROM: Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport Nicolas Longo, Director of Aviation DATE: January 7, 2026 SUBJECT: Request to Add Two Positions and Tier a Third Position REQUEST The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport ("the Airport" or "BTV") respectfully requests approval of the reorganization of positions as presented in this memo. We would like to add one Operations Specialist and one Working Foreperson Ambassador, and to tier the Maintenance Worker position into Tier I and Tier II. SUMMARY The Airport requests the addition of these positions, and the tiering of the Maintenance Worker II position, in an effort to grow our ability to serve our community at the Airport. We believe that these improvements will allow our team to better serve the Greater Burlington community when these staffing changes go into effect. The current budget will financially accommodate these changes without a budget amendment, so we are ready to fill these positions and allow staff members to work towards the higher tier as soon as this is approved. The need for this request reflects the dedicated, hardworking team that we employ at Leahy BTV, and we are eager to see our operations see greater efficiency and craftsmanship as our team and Airport grows. AIRPORT OPERATIONS SPECIALIST Operational safety of aircraft, passengers, and others is a critical component of a commercial service airport. Due to increased airport activity, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulatory commitments and requirements, as well as Page 16 of 181 Page 2 of 3 the anticipated implementation of Safety Management Systems, we are requesting the addition of one additional Airport Operations Specialist at the airport. Currently, Airport Operations maintains a 24/7 schedule comprised of six Airport Operations Specialists. An additional position is necessary to create margin within the schedule and provide necessary support where there is currently strain and staff fatigue, particularly during snow events and construction projects. Operations Specialists currently work back-to-back 16 hour shifts with an 8-hour rest period between shifts to meet the current need for coverage in the schedule. During winter operations, attentiveness on the airfield is crucial for safety, so minimizing the risk of fatigue and burnout is crucial. An additional Operations Specialist on staff will help to lighten the burden spread across the Operations staff in order to cover the operational requirements of the airport. As we grow and open the new terminal, an additional Operations Specialist will help the team as a whole to support the additional infrastructure of this new space. WORKING FOREMAN AMBASSADOR When a passenger first arrives at Leahy BTV, their first touchpoint is with our team of ambassadors. This new position will serve on the ambassador team, assisting customers when they arrive at the terminal, monitors the parking garage, and is an essential part of our customer experience department. The ambassador team has a schedule that operates 24 hours per day, and currently there is no Working Foreman during the evening hours, but there is one scheduled in the morning and the afternoon. The addition of this position will ensure that regardless of when a passenger arrives or leaves, there is a solid team and supervisor present and available to help with any ground transportation or customer experience needs. MAINTENANCE WORKER II The Airport has a team of 11 Maintenance Workers in all departments. There is currently a single position on our organizational chart, formerly classified as a Maintenance Worker II. Many members of this team are working towards certifications that add to their repertoire of qualifications. We want to recognize the efforts and expertise when an employee accomplishes an extended amount of time at the Airport, combined with certifications that they have achieved. The creation of Tier I and Tier II within the Maintenance Worker II position will allow individuals in this role to grow their skills and earning potential at the Airport. Currently, we hire all Maintenance Worker employees at a Grade 14, however, by allowing employees to gain experience, they may now qualify for a Grade 15, or Tier 2 position, once they meet the standards for this next step. This does not add additional employees to the organizational chart but rather incentivizes greater credentials and experience in their roles. Page 17 of 181 Page 3 of 3 CONCLUSION Leahy BTV is proud to have a growing and dedicated team working hard to grow our airport and serve Vermonters. As we grow, our team needs to grow to support our operations and customer experience. We are excited to add and tier these respective positions as we near the opening of our new terminal. These positions will increase our efficiency in operations and allow our team to better serve airport stakeholders.

Due to this vacancy and the request and growth of Aerodyme, they would now like to occupy this area.

G. This Agreement incorporates by reference the provisions of 29 CFR Part 201, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), with the same force and effect as if given in full text. The FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards for full and part time workers.

The determination of how those records must be handled is solely within the purview of the City. All records considered to be trade secrets, as that term is defined by subsection 317(c)(9) of the Vermont Public Records Act, shall be identified, as shall all other records considered to be exempt under the Vermont Public Records Act. It is not sufficient to merely state generally that the proposal is proprietary or a trade secret or is otherwise exempt.

Section 12.26 Casualty. If the Leased Premises are damaged by fire, flood, or another casualty, either Party may terminate this Lease within 30 days of the date the terminating Party becomes aware of such occurrence if, in the opinion of the terminating Party, the Leased Premises have been so damaged as to render them wholly or partially untenable or unfit for the Lessee’s purposes. If so elected, the terminating Party shall give the other Party written notice and termination shall be effective 30 days from the date of mailing of the notice of termination. If the Parties elect not to terminate this Agreement, the City shall reasonably estimate the time, restoration work, and commencement date that the City reasonably anticipates is required for the performance of restoration work. Lessee’s obligation to pay rent shall equitably and proportionately abate with respect to the damaged portion of the Leased Premises from the date of damage until restoration is sufficiently complete to enable Lessee to recommence its use and occupancy of the Leased Premises for the purpose set forth in this Agreement.

(a) For the purpose of so maintaining the premises, the Lessor may at reasonable times enter the premises with the approval of the authorized Government representative in charge. (b) Upon request of the Lease Contracting Officer (LCO), the Lessor shall provide written documentation that building systems have been properly maintained, tested, and are operational within manufacturer's warranted operating standards.

(2) Unless otherwise approved by the Lease Contracting Officer, the Lessor shall be permitted a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 270 days from the event of destruction or damage, to repair or restore the premises, provided that the Lessor submits to the Government a reasonable schedule for repair of the premises within 60 days of the event of destruction or damage.

LESSOR:______ GOVERNMENT:______ GSA Template 3517A – REV (02/25) Page 3 Page 83 of 181 4. GSAR 552.270-9 INSPECTION – RIGHT OF ENTRY (SEP 1999) a) At any time and from time to time after receipt of an offer (until the same has been duly withdrawn or rejected), after acceptance thereof and during the term, the agents, employees and contractors of the Government may, upon reasonable prior notice to Offeror or Lessor, enter upon the offered premises or the premises, and all other areas of the building access to which is necessary to accomplish the purposes of entry, to determine the potential or actual compliance by the Offeror or Lessor with the requirements of the solicitation or this lease, which purposes shall include, but not be limited to: (1) Inspecting, sampling and analyzing suspected asbestos-containing materials and air monitoring for asbestos fibers; (2) Inspecting the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, maintenance records, and mechanical rooms for the offered premises or the premises; (3) Inspecting for any leaks, spills, or other potentially hazardous conditions which may involve tenant exposure to hazardous or toxic substances; and (4) Inspecting for any current or past hazardous waste operations, to ensure that appropriate mitigative actions were taken to alleviate any environmentally unsound activities in accordance with Federal, State and local law. b) Nothing in this clause shall be construed to create a Government duty to inspect for toxic materials or to impose a higher standard of care on the Government than on other lessees. The purpose of this clause is to promote the ease with which the Government may inspect the building. Nothing in this clause shall act to relieve the Lessor of any duty to inspect or liability which might arise as a result of Lessor’s failure to inspect for or correct a hazardous condition. 5. GSAR 552.270-10 DEFAULT BY LESSOR (JUL 2023) (DEVIATION) Occurrence of the following constitutes default by the Lessor and gives rise to the following rights and remedies of the Government: (a) Prior to acceptance of the space. Failure by the Lessor to perform diligently any obligations required for acceptance of the space or other required improvements within the times specified, other than due to an excusable delay, shall constitute a default by the Lessor. Subject to provision of notice of default to the Lessor, and provision of a reasonable opportunity for the Lessor to cure its default, the Government may, in its sole discretion, terminate the lease on account of the Lessor's default. (b) After acceptance of the space. Failure by the Lessor to perform any service, to provide any item, or satisfy any requirement of this lease, other than due to an excusable delay, constitutes a default by the Lessor. Subject to provision of notice of default to the Lessor, and provision of a reasonable opportunity for the Lessor to cure its default, the Government may, in its sole discretion, take one or more of the following actions: (1) Perform the service, provide the item, or obtain satisfaction of the requirement by its own employees or contractors. If the Government elects to take such action, the Government may deduct from rental payments its costs, including administrative costs, incurred in connection with taking the action; LESSOR:______ GOVERNMENT:______ GSA Template 3517A – REV (02/25) Page 4 Page 84 of 181 (2) Reduce the rent by an amount reasonably calculated to approximate the cost or value of the service not performed, item not provided, or requirement not satisfied, such reduction effective as of the date of the commencement of the default condition. If default renders the leased premises untenable, the reduction of rent may be calculated as the prorated portion of the monthly rent represented by all such days the leased premises is untenantable; (3) Terminate the lease if: (i) The Lessor's default persists notwithstanding provision of notice and reasonable opportunity to cure by the Government, or (ii) The Lessor fails to take such actions as are necessary to prevent the recurrence of default conditions, and such conditions substantially impair the safe and healthful occupancy of the premises, or render the premises unusable for its intended purposes. (c) Damages. The Lessor and the Lessor sureties, if any, are jointly and severally liable for any damages to the Government resulting from default or termination, as provided in this clause. (1) Damages include all costs associated with the replacement lease(s), which include but are not limited to the following: the Government’s aggregate rent, estimated real estate taxes, operating costs, administrative costs, or other reprocurement costs. (2) If the Government procures replacement premises for a term (including all option terms) in excess of this lease term, the Lessor is not liable for excess Government rent or adjustments during such excess lease term. (3) Damages to which the Government is entitled to under this clause are due and payable thirty (30) days following the date the Lessor receives notice from the Contracting Officer specifying such damages. (d) Excusable delays. (1) The Government shall not terminate this lease under this clause nor charge the Lessor with damages under this clause, if: (i) the delay in substantially completing any work or performing any services arises from excusable delays, and (ii) the Lessor, within ten (10) days from the beginning of any such delay (unless extended in writing by the Contracting Officer) provides notice to the Contracting Officer of the causes of delay. (2) The Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay. If the facts warrant, the Contracting Officer shall extend the delivery date commensurate with the delay at no additional costs to the Government. A time extension is the sole remedy of the Lessor. (e) No deduction from rent, termination of lease, or any other action pursuant to this clause will constitute a default by the Government under this lease. (f) The rights and remedies specified in this clause are in addition to any and all remedies to which the Government may be entitled as a matter of law. 6. GSAR 552.270-20 PAYMENT (AUG 2023) (DEVIATION) LESSOR:______ GOVERNMENT:______ GSA Template 3517A – REV (02/25) Page 5 Page 85 of 181 (a) When space is offered and accepted, ANSI/BOMA Occupant Area (ABOA) square footage delivered will be confirmed by either: (1) The Government’s measurement of plans submitted by the successful offeror as approved by the Government, and an inspection of the space to verify that the delivered space conforms with such plans; or (2) A mutual on-site measurement of the space if the Contracting Officer determines it necessary. (b) The Government will not pay for space in excess of the amount of ABOA square footage stated in the lease. (c) If the amount of ABOA square footage delivered is less than the amount agreed to in the lease, the lease will be modified to reflect the amount of ABOA space delivered and the annual rental will be adjusted as follows: ABOA square feet not delivered multiplied by one plus the common area factor (CAF), multiplied by the rate per rentable square foot (RSF). That is: (d) Common Area Factor (CAF). The CAF is expressed as a percentage of the difference between the amount of rentable square feet (SF) and ABOA SF, divided by the ABOA SF. For example 11,500 RSF and 10,000 ABOA SF will have a CAF of 15% (11,500 RSF-10,000 ABOA SF)/10,000 ABOA SF. (e) Rentable Square Footage (RSF). The RSF is calculated using the following formula for each type of space (e.g., office, warehouse, etc.) included in the premises: ABOA SF of Space x (1 + CAF) = RSF. 7. GSAR 552.270-27 INTEGRATED AGREEMENT (SEP 2022) (DEVIATION) This lease, upon execution, contains the entire agreement of the parties and no prior written or oral agreement, express or implied, shall be admissible to contradict the provisions of the lease. Except as expressly attached to and made a part of the lease, neither the request for lease proposals nor any pre-award communications by either party shall be incorporated in the lease. 8. GSAR 552.270-14 CHANGES (SEP 2022) (DEVIATION) (a) The Lease Contracting Officer (LCO) may at any time, by written order, direct changes to the tenant improvements within the space, building security requirements, or the services required under the lease. (b) If any such change causes an increase or decrease in Lessor’s cost or time required for performance of its obligations under this lease, whether or not changed by the order, the Lessor shall be entitled to an amendment to the lease providing for one or more of the following: (1) An adjustment of the delivery date. (2) An equitable adjustment in the rental rate. LESSOR:______ GOVERNMENT:______ GSA Template 3517A – REV (02/25) Page 6 Page 86 of 181 (3) A lump sum equitable adjustment. or (4) An adjustment of the operating cost base, if applicable. (c) The Lessor must assert its right to an amendment under this clause within 30 days from the date of receipt of the change order and must submit a proposal for adjustment. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause.

The hygienist shall inspect and evaluate the Space and air zones serving the Space; inspection shall take place as soon as possible but no later than 15 calendar days following the identification of a potential IAQ issue. Notwithstanding the above, when a board-certified industrial hygienist is not available to perform this inspection, the Lessor may, upon written request and the Government’s approval, employ an environmental professional with documented experience performing IAQ assessments. The Lessor shall provide written results of any testing along with recommendations to GSA. D. The Government reserves the right to conduct independent IAQ assessments and detailed studies in Space that it occupies, as well as in space serving the Space (e.g., common use areas, mechanical rooms, HVAC systems, etc.). The Lessor shall assist the Government in its assessments and detailed studies by: 1. Making available information on Building operations and Lessor activities; 2. Providing access to Space for assessment and testing, if required; and 3. Implementing corrective measures required by the LCO. The Lessor shall take corrective action to correct any tests or measurements that do not meet GSA policy action limits in the PBS Desk Guide for Indoor Air Quality Management (Companion to GSA Order PBS 1000.8), OSHA regulatory limits and generally accepted consensus standards. E. The Lessor shall provide to the Government safety data sheets (SDS) upon request for the following products prior to their use during the term of the Lease: adhesives, caulking, sealants, insulating materials, fireproofing or firestopping materials, paints, carpets, floor and wall patching or leveling materials, lubricants, clear finish for wood surfaces, janitorial cleaning products, pesticides, rodenticides, and herbicides. The Government reserves the right to review such products used by the Lessor within the Space, common building areas, ventilation systems and zones serving the Space, and the area above suspended ceilings and engineering space in the same ventilation zone as the Space. F. The Lessor shall use high efficiency (HEPA) filtration vacuums for cleaning. G. Air handling units shall have the highest-level MERV filtration that is compatible with the HVAC system and does not significantly diminish airflow. Upon request, the Lessor shall provide to the Government a list of the highest-level of MERV filtration that each air handling unit is designed to handle. H. The Lessor is encouraged to comply with best practices outlined in Appendix D- Indoor Air Quality in GSA Leased Facilities (Best Practices) within the PBS Desk Guide for Indoor Air Quality Management (Companion to GSA Order PBS 1000.8). 4.08 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, MOLD AND WATER INTRUSION (ON-AIRPORT) (OCT 2024) The leased Space shall be free of hazardous materials, substances, and wastes, as defined by and according to applicable Federal, state, and local environmental regulations. The Space must be maintained to prevent water intrusion and accumulation, ensuring that no conditions exist that could promote mold growth. These include, but not limited to, the following: A. The leased Space shall be free of all asbestos containing materials, except undamaged asbestos flooring in the Space or undamaged boiler or pipe insulation outside the Space, in which case an asbestos management program conforming to EPA guidance shall be implemented. B. Actionable Condition. An actionable condition is defined as either: 1. Visible mold or airborne mold of types and concentrations in excess of that found in the local outdoor air or non-problematic control areas elsewhere in the same building, whichever is lower, or 2. Water-Damaged Building materials which could potentially create conditions for mold or microbial amplification. C. The Lessor shall provide Space to the Government that is free from ongoing water leaks or moisture infiltration. The Space and ventilation zones serving the Space shall also be free of actionable conditions, as defined by subparagraph B. 1. The Lessor shall safely remediate all actionable conditions in accordance with sub-paragraph C.2 below. 2. The Lessor shall safely remediate all actionable conditions identified by the consultant using a qualified remediation contractor following methods identified in EPA’s Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings (EPA 402-K-01-001, September 2008 or the current version of ANSI/IICRC S520-2015: Standard for Professional Mold Remediation), and all applicable state laws pertaining to mold remediation practices. The Lessor shall provide GSA with a detailed work plan from the remediation contractor on how they plan to address the actionable conditions and include qualifications of the remediation contractor. The Lessor shall employ a qualified industrial hygienist, independent of the remediation contractor to verify that remediation has been completed per the industry standards listed above and that the space is safe for re-occupancy. LEASE NO. GS-01P-LVT00746, PAGE 12 LESSOR: ________ GOVERNMENT: ________ GSA TEMPLATE 201D REV (10/24) Page 107 of 181 3. The Lessor acknowledges and agrees that the Government shall have a reasonable opportunity to inspect the leased Space after conclusion of the remediation. If the results of the Government's inspection indicate that the remediation does not comply with the plan or any other applicable Federal, state, or local laws, regulatory standards, or guidelines, the Lessor, at its sole cost, expense, and risk, shall immediately take all further actions necessary to bring the remediation into compliance. 4. If the Lessor fails to exercise due diligence, or is otherwise unable to remediate the actionable conditions, the Government may implement a corrective action program and deduct its costs from the rent. 4.09 OCCUPANT EMERGENCY PLANS (OCT 2020) The Lessor is required to cooperate, participate, and comply with the development and implementation of the Government’s Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) and a supplemental Shelter-in Place (SIP) Plan. Periodically, the Government may request that the Lessor assist in reviewing and revising its OEP and SIP. The Plan, among other things, will include evacuation procedures and an annual emergency evacuation drill, emergency shutdown of air intake procedures, and emergency notification procedures for the Lessor’s Building engineer or manager, Building security, local emergency personnel, and Government agency personnel. 4.10 MODIFIED LEASE PARAGRAPHS 1.01 THE PREMISES (OCT 2024) LEASE NO. GS-01P-LVT00746, PAGE 13 LESSOR: ________ GOVERNMENT: ________ GSA TEMPLATE 201D REV (10/24) Page 108 of 181 TO: City of Burlington, Airport Commission City of Burlington, Board of Finance City of Burlington, City Council FROM: Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport Nicolas Longo, Director of Aviation DATE: January 7, 2026 SUBJECT: Request to execute a lease agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA) for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) office space REQUEST The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport ("Leahy BTV") respectfully requests approval and authorization to execute a lease agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA) for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) office space. Background The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) plays a critical role in the daily operations of Leahy BTV, and as such, requires appropriate operational and administrative space within the terminal. As part of our ongoing terminal expansion and modernization efforts, we have worked to thoughtfully integrate TSA's evolving needs into the design of our facility—particularly through the development of an expanded security checkpoint and the reallocation of space for offices, breakrooms, and other support functions. Over the past several years, TSA’s operational requirements have changed significantly. Prior to the construction of our new security checkpoint, TSA occupied a set of offices used by their management and leadership teams. However, due to the phased nature of our terminal construction and the need to accommodate various logistical and structural updates, TSA’s office footprint was temporarily reduced and relocated. These changes were previously reflected in an amendment to their original lease agreement. Page 109 of 181 Page 2 of 3 At the expiration of that agreement, and in coordination with the General Services Administration (GSA), the Airport requested the development of a new lease to more accurately reflect TSA’s current and future space needs. Due to delays in communication and transitions in GSA staffing, the prior lease remained in a holdover status until a final version could be completed. The newly drafted lease now outlines all of the existing space occupied by TSA and preliminarily identifies additional space they have expressed interest in leasing—though this additional space is not yet formally committed to in the current agreement. The Airport is actively constructing this new area to accommodate TSA’s potential expansion. Once construction is complete and TSA confirms its intent to lease the new space, an amendment to this lease will be brought forward for City Council consideration. As has been previously discussed with the Airport Commission, if TSA elects not to lease the newly constructed space, the Airport has a strong pipeline of interested tenants and would quickly pivot to make that rentable space available to other qualified users. Importantly, this new lease also includes an updated rental rate that reflects our current market-based terminal square footage rate, which is calculated based on our terminal revenue needs—ensuring consistency across all terminal tenants and supporting our commitment to financial sustainability. Lease Terms The proposed amendment includes the following key terms: • Effective date July 1, 2024 • New expiration: July 31, 2034 • Rental Rate: $149,202 annually, $68.41 per square foot MOTIONS: Airport Commission: “To approve the memo as presented” Board of Finance: “To approve and recommend that the City Council authorize the Mayor of the City of Burlington to execute the lease with General Service Administration at the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport, subject to final review and approval by the City Attorney’s Office, and to take such further actions and execute such further instruments approved as to form by the City Page 110 of 181 Page 3 of 3 Attorney’s Office as may be necessary or convenient to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby.” City Council: “To authorize the Mayor of the City of Burlington to execute the lease with General Service Administration at the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport, subject to final review and approval by the City Attorney’s Office, and to take such further actions and execute such further instruments approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office as may be necessary or convenient to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby.” Page 111 of 181 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT Between THE CITY OF BURLINGTON, VERMONT and HANGAR CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.

In no event shall the new rates be 3 Page 127 of 181 less than the immediately preceding rate. As a time lapse occurs in the issuing of the Consumer Price Index, all adjustments shall be retroactive to the beginning of each new lease year. c. In the event that the United States Department of Labor discontinues publication of the Consumer Price Index or data from which the index can be directly computed, or if the method for the determination of such index is substantially different than that existing at the time this Agreement is executed, the basis for the rental rate adjustment shall be redefined by Lessor in the manner necessary to accomplish the same adjustment objectives as set forth herein. 4. USE OF PREMISES The demised premises contain 2 metal hangar buildings comprising of 12 individual hangars erected and owned by Lessee. The demised premises and the hangars shall be used and occupied solely for general aviation purposes and for no other purpose or purposes without the written consent of Lessor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but merely by way of example, Lessee shall not use the premises to conduct a fixed based operator and aeronautics business; for commercial passenger transport; for the sale or lease of petroleum products, aircraft, engines, accessories and parts; to conduct a flight school; or to maintain or service non-Lessee equipment. Lessee shall have the right to utilize the demised premises for the storage of aircraft owned by other parties and to charge a fee for said storage provided, however, that the hangar space required for such storage is not reasonably available from a fixed base operator at the Burlington International Airport. 5. AGREEMENT SUBORDINATE This Agreement shall be subject and subordinate to the following: a. Lessor reserves the right to take any action it considers necessary to protect the aerial approaches of the Airport against obstruction, together with the right to prevent Lessee from erecting or permitting or causing to be erected any new building or other structure which, in the sole opinion of Lessor, would limit the usefulness of the Airport or constitute a hazard to aircraft consistent with FAA requirements; 4 Page 128 of 181 b. This Agreement shall be subordinate to the provisions of any existing or any future agreement between Lessor and the State of Vermont and/or the United States of America relative to the operation or maintenance of the Airport, the execution of which has been or may be required as a condition precedent to the granting of Federal or State Funds or the approval to impose or use Passenger Facility Charges for the improvement or development of the Airport. Lessee shall not cause Lessor to violate any assurances made by Lessor to the United States Government and/or State of Vermont in connection with the granting of such federal or state funds or the approval of such PFCs. c. Lessors right, during time of war or national emergency to lease the landing facilities or any part thereof or to otherwise permit the use thereof on an exclusive basis, by the United States of America or the State of Vermont for military use; the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they are inconsistent with the superior right, shall be suspended during any such period. Provided, however, that if Lessor should exercise such rights, then during the period of exercise, there shall be an appropriate and proportionate reduction in the rental of any portion of the Leased Premises as to which Lessee is unable to conduct the business substantially in accordance with the rights conferred by this Lease Agreement. The foregoing provision shall not be construed as affecting Lessee’s right of cancellation under Section 11 below should Lessee be unable to conduct its business as foresaid for a period of at least ninety (90) days. d. If any covenant, condition, or provision in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, or conclusively determined to be inconsistent with federal law or FAA grant assurances, such covenant, condition, or provision shall be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid or enforceable or, if it cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, it shall be stricken. If stricken, all other covenants, conditions and provisions of this 5 Page 129 of 181 Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided that the striking of such covenants, conditions or provisions does not materially prejudice either Lessor or Lessee in its respective rights and obligations contained in the valid covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Agreement. 6. LESSOR OBLIGATIONS Lessor covenants and agrees: a. That it has lawful possession of the demised premises and has good and lawful authority to execute this Agreement. b. To continue its efforts to provide facilities to serve general aviation operators by attempting to expand the Airport’s infrastructure to the south of the present Airport footprint with sufficient space to accommodate approximately 24 hangars (the “South End Project”). c. Lessor agrees to maintain the Airfield Area in good condition and repair. Such obligation shall include snow removal from runways and taxiways; provided, however, that the extent of such obligation as to snow removal from the Apron Area shall be limited to general snow removal required for the operation of aircraft and ground equipment, and shall be limited to the area beginning thirty (30) feet out from any building. To the extent possible, and to the extent that such snow removal is required for the operation of aircraft and ground equipment, Lessor agrees to assist Lessee with snow removal in the area within thirty (30) feet from building; provided, however, that CITY shall not be liable for any failure to do so. 7. LESSEE OBLIGATIONS Lessee covenants and agrees: a. To pay the rent and other charges herein reserved at such times and places as the same are payable. 6 Page 130 of 181 b. To furnish to the demised premises and to pay all charges for property taxes, casualty insurance (on the buildings and contents), telephone service, water, heat, air conditioning, gas, electric power, trash and/or hazardous waste removal, snow removal and janitorial service, and other public utilities of every kind to the demised premises. c.

All maintenance shall be subject to general monitoring by Lessor to insure a continuing high quality of appearance commensurate with maintenance and safety standards of the Airport. d. To observe and comply with any and all present and future requirements of the constituted public authority and with all federal, state or local statutes, ordinances, regulations, standards, conditions and agreements applicable to Lessee for its use of the demised premises, including, but not limited to, ordinance, rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by or at the direction of Lessor for the administration of the Airport; at its own expense to submit to and comply with the requirements of all state and federal regulatory agencies or municipal boards having jurisdiction over the construction of any fixed improvements on the demised premises, including, but not limited to, any State, or local governmental Department or Board; and at its own expense to comply with the standards for accessible design known as the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines in connection with any new construction or alteration of the demised premises. Lessee shall bear the burden of this obligation regardless of whether any such Agency or Board shall require that Lessor be the applicant of record. 7 Page 131 of 181 e. To indemnify and save harmless the Board of Airport Commissioners of the City of Burlington, its members, agents, officers and employees, their successors and assigns, and the City of Burlington, its officers, agents and employees, their successors and assigns, individually or collectively, from and against all liability for any fines, claims, suits, liens, demands, actions or cause of action of any kind and nature for personal injury, death or property damage in any way arising out of or resulting from any activity or operation of Lessee on the Airport, including the demised premises, and Lessee further agrees to pay all expenses in defending against any such claims made against Lessor; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be liable for any injury, damage or loss occasioned by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Lessor, its agents or employees. Lessee shall give prompt and timely notice of any claim made or suit instituted which, in any way, directly or indirectly contingently or otherwise, affects or may affect Lessor. f. To commit no actionable waste or nuisance upon the demised premises and shall not do or permit to be done anything which may result in the creation, commission or maintenance of any such waste or nuisance on said premises or the Airport. g. To procure and maintain in effect during the term of this Agreement comprehensive general public liability insurance and hangar keeper liability insurance with responsible insurance underwriters, qualified to transact business in the State of Vermont, and naming Lessor as an additional insured, insuring against all legal liability for injuries to persons (including wrongful death) and damages to property caused by Lesse&s use and occupancy of the demised premises or otherwise caused by Lessees activities and operations on or about said premises or the use, occupancy, activities or operations of any assigns or sublessee of Lessee pursuant to paragraph 14; with liability limits as follows: (I) comprehensive general public liability insurance with liability limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 for any one person, and not 8 Page 132 of 181 less than $2,000,000.00 for each occurrence, and Hangarkeeper’s loss limit of not less than $300,000.00 for each occurrence and not less than $150,000.00 for each aircraft. If Lessor is subsequently required by a third party having legitimate authority to establish insurance coverage requirements applicable to the operations of the Lessee on the demised premises, and such requirement is to maintain insurance with coverage limits higher than the foregoing limits, then within sixty (60) days after Lessor’s request therefore Lessee shall provide Lessor with an insurance policy whose limits are not less than those requested by Lessor, the Lessor shall provide to Lessee such documentation establishing a reasonable justification for requiring such additional limits. Lessee shall furnish Lessor with a certificate of such insurance, within ten (10) days after execution of this Agreement, which shall provide that Lessor is an insured under said policy, and that policy cannot be cancelled or materially modified except upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Lessor. Lessor shall have the right to examine such insurance policy upon reasonable notice to Lessee. In the event that Lessee is required by law to carry workmen’s compensation insurance Lessee shall furnish to Lessor satisfactory evidence that it carries workmen’s compensation insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of Vermont. If at any time during the term hereof Lessee shall fail to obtain and maintain the insurance as required herein, Lessor may affect such insurance by taking out policies in companies satisfactory to Lessor. The amounts of the premium or premiums paid for such insurance by Lessor shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor with the installments of rent thereafter next due under the terms of this Agreement. h. To erect, construct, install, or make, or cause to be erected, constructed, installed, or made, all improvements on or to the demised premises, which are deemed fit or proper for the storage of aircraft. All additions or improvements shall be subject to the prior written consent of 9 Page 133 of 181 Lessor, said consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All new construction and alterations of the demised premises shall be at the expense of Lessee and must comply with the standards for accessible design known as the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. i.

That it shall not park or allow to be parked any aircraft, vehicles, or equipment or leave or allow the same to be left standing on a public landing area, public ramp and apron area, public cargo ramp and apron area, public aircraft parking and storage area, or operational area, except at such places as may be prescribed or permitted by the Director of Aviation. Lessee further covenants and agrees to move or caused to be moved such aircraft from the place where it is parked or stored to any other place as designated and directed by the Director of Aviation. I. To properly handle, remove and dispose of any and all lubricants and/or hazardous waste and to maintain the demised premises in a clean and safe condition. m.

Lessee further unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against all loss, cost and expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) of whatever nature suffered or incurred by Lessor on account of the existence on the demised premises, or the release or discharge from the demised premises, of “hazardous substances,” 10 Page 134 of 181 including, without limitation, any claims, costs, losses, liabilities and expenses arising from the violation (or claimed violation) of any environmental laws or the institution of any action by any party against Lessor or the demised premises based upon nuisance, negligence or other tort theory alleging liability due to the improper generation, storage, disposal, removal, transportation or treatment of hazardous substances or the imposition of a lien on any part of the demised premises under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et cci as amended (“CERCLA”), or any other laws pursuant to which a lien may be imposed due to the existence of hazardous substances. Lessee further unconditionally, absolutely, and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any fees and expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing or seeking enforcement of the liability of Lessee under this indemnification. Provided, however, that Lessee shall not be liable for conditions on the demised premises that existed prior to January 1, 1982. For the purposes of this Section, ‘hazardous substances” shall mean and include, but shall not be limited to, any element, substance, compound or mixture, including disease-causing agents, which after release into the environment or work place and upon exposure, ingestion, inhalation or assimilation into any organism, either directly or indirectly, will or may reasonably be anticipated to cause death, disease, behavioral abnormalities, cancer, genetic mutation, physiological malfunctions, including malfunctions in reproduction or physical deformations in such organisms or their offsprings, and all hazardous and toxic substances, wastes or materials, any pollutants or contaminants (including, without limitation, asbestos and raw materials which include hazardous constituents), or any other similar substances, or materials which are included under or regulated by any local, state or federal law, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental regulation, contamination, clean-up or disclosure, including, without limitation, CERCLA, and regulations adopted pursuant to such Acts, the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, as heretofore or currently in effect (“TSCA”) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as heretofore or currently in effect (“RCRA”). 11 Page 135 of 181 Lessee agrees to provide and agrees to require all approved assignees, subcontractors, sublessees, or underlessees of the demised premises to provide an annual written report to the Director of Aviation by July 1, 2014 and annually on the same day thereafter, describing in reasonable detail all products and materials containing Hazardous Substances which have been present on the demised premises during the preceding calendar year. Such report shall include for such period (i) product name or other description of each product containing such substances, (ii) quantities of each product consumed, (iii) the general purpose of each product, and (iv) a description of the storage and disposal methods for each product. Lessee shall maintain and require its assignees, subcontractors, sub lessees, or under lessees to maintain records of the disposal of all waste products containing Hazardous Substances, which will be available to the Lessor upon request for inspection and copying. 8. MUTUAL COVENANTS In connection with Lessor’s leasing of the premises to Lessee, the parties mutually covenant and agree that: a. If the demised premises or any part thereof are rendered untenable by public authority, or by fire or the elements, or other casualty, except such as shall have resulted from the negligence or willful conduct of Lessee, a proportionate part of the rent herein reserved (whether paid in advance or otherwise) shall be abated and suspended, according to the extent of such un-tenantability, until the demised premises are again made tenantable and restored to their former condition. If the premises or a substantial part thereof (more than 50%) are thereby rendered untenantable to the extent they are not suitable for the purposes provided for herein, and so remain for a period of 90 days, Lessee may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by written notice to Lessor. b. If Lessee shall pay the rent and other charges herein provided and shall keep, observe and perform all of the other covenants of this Agreement by it to be kept, performed and 12 Page 136 of 181 observed, it shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the demised premises for the term of this Agreement. c.

Upon the expiration of the term of this lease, and provided the Lessor has made significant progress with the development of the South End Development Project, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a lease agreement pursuant to which Lessee shall lease a parcel of land encompassed by the South End Project from Lessor sufficient to allow Lessee to construct, at its own expense, its new general aviation hangar facilities. d. Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, throughout the term hereof, Lessee may have, hold and enjoy peaceful, uninterrupted, and exclusive possession of the demised premises and rights herein leased and granted without hindrance by Lessor or any entity claiming by or through Lessor, subject to performance by Lessee of its obligations herein. 9.

Provided, that if Lessee is in the process of contesting, in good faith, the assertion of any such lien, it shall not, pending the termination of such contest, be obligated to remove such lien. 13. FORCE MAJEURE Neither Lessee nor Lessor shall be deemed in violation of this Agreement if it is prevented from performing any obligations hereunder by reason of strikes, boycotts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of superior governmental authority, severe weather conditions, riots, rebellion, sabotage, or any other circumstances for which it is not responsible or which is not under its control, and the party experiencing force majeure gives written notice to the other party identifying the nature of such force majeure, and when it began. The party experiencing force majeure shall take immediate action to attempt to remove such causes of force majeure as may occur from time to time and its operations under this Agreement shall be resumed immediately after such cause has been removed, provided that neither party shall be required to settle any labor dispute except upon terms that party’ deems acceptable.

Lessor shall be given at least sixty (60) days advance written notice of any planned assignment to or subletting by a subsidiary of Lessee and full opportunity to verifS’ the subsidiary’s status as such. Lessor will not be unnecessarily arbitrary in granting said permission, but Lessor shall be the sole judge as to the reliability, capability, character, and desirability of the parties involved. b. Notwithstanding the provision of (a) above, for the purposes of financing construction of improvements upon the demised premises (the “Improvements”), and solely in connection therewith, Lessee shall have the right from time to time to execute and deliver to one or more banks or other sources of financing (“Lessee’s Lender”) suitable mortgages, assignments or other security interest on all or any portion of the Improvements and its interest as Lessee under this Agreement (the “Leasehold Estate”), subject to the following terms and conditions: 18 Page 142 of 181 (1) Such security instruments shall constitute valid and enforceable liens in favor of Lessee’s Lender, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. (2) Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor of the identity of Lessee’s Lender, and shall provide a copy to Lessor. (3) Lessee’s Lender shall have an opportunity to cure any default by Lessee within the applicable time limits provided in this Agreement to Lessee plus an additional fifteen (15) days. (4) In order to accomplish cancellation of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10 and 11 hereof the party who would cancel shall deliver notice of such cancellation to Lessee’s Lender, which or who shall thereupon have the right to become the owner of the Leasehold Estate on the same terms and priority as Lessee by paying back rent and curing such other defaults by Lessee as may then be existing. (5) Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed as requiring Lessee’s Lender to cure a default by Lessee hereunder; rather it shall become liable under this Agreement only when and if it elects, upon default by Lessee, either to become owner of the Leasehold Estate or to assume the obligations of Lessee hereunder. In such event, Lessee’s Lender shall become liable hereunder for the period it is the owner of the Leasehold Estate and it shall have all rights of Lessee hereunder for said period the same as if it has been the original signatory hereof. (6) If Lessee’s Lender becomes the owner of the Leasehold Estate, it shall, upon prior written consent of the Lessor as to the fact of transfer and the identity of the transferee, after consideration of the proposed transferee’s experience in the aviation business, its capital structure and its general business reputation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) have the right to transfer the Leasehold Estate to a third party subject to the assumption by the transferee of all obligations of Lessee hereunder. Such a transfer by Lessee’s 19 Page 143 of 181 Lender shall be in a form satisfactory to the Lessor. Upon such a transfer, Lessee’s Lender shall be relieved from all further responsibility and obligations of this Agreement. (7) Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting the right of Lessee to cure any of the its defaults as elsewhere provided in this Agreement and. similarly, nothing herein contained shall be construed as granting Lessee’s Lender, or its successor in interest, if any, greater rights in the demised premises and the Improvements than Lessee has under this Agreement. 15.

It is specifically understood and agreed that nothing herein contained shall be construed as granting or authorizing the granting of an exclusive right within the meaning of Section 308 of Federal Aviation Act of 1958. c. Lessee, for itself, its personal representatives, successors in interest and assigns, as a part of the consideration hereof, does hereby covenant and agree, as a covenant running with the land, that (1) no person on the grounds of race, color, national origin or sex shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in the use of said facilities, (2) that in the construction of any improvements on, over or under said land and the furnishing of services hereon, no person on the grounds of race, color, national origin or sex shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to 20 Page 144 of 181 discrimination, (3) that Lessee shall use the premises in compliance with all other requirements imposed by or pursuant to Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations Department of Transportation, Subtitle A, Office of the Secretary Part 21 Non-Discrimination in Federally-assisted programs of the Department of Transportation - Effectuation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and as said Regulations may be amended.

Lessee assures that it will undertake an affirmative action program as required by 14 C.F.R., Part 152 Subpart E, to insure that no persons shall on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, or sex be excluded from participating in any employment activities covered in 14 C.F.R., Part 152, Subpart E. Lessee assures that no person shall be excluded on these grounds from participating in or receiving the services or benefits of any program or activity covered by the subpart. Lessee assures that it will require that its covered sub organizations provide assurances to Lessor that they similarly will undertake affirmative action programs and that they will require assurances from their sub organizations, as required by 14 C.F.R., Part 152, Subpart E, to the same effect. 16. LIVABLE WAGE Concessionaire shall comply with the provisions of the City’s Livable Wage Ordinance, including any amendments to that ordinance and any annual adjustments to the Livable Wage rate by the City.

Page 153 of 181 To: Airport Commission From: Larry Lackey, Director of Planning, Engineering and Environmental Compliance Date: January 7, 2026 Subject: Airport Commission Construction Update 1. Environmental Assessment (est. $.25M). The purpose of this project is to evaluate environmental impacts related to the mitigation of obstructions with in the aircraft approach surfaces to the runways. This is in follow up to the recently completed Master Plan, which includes obstruction identification and environmental review. Completed, working on close out documents. 2. South Terminal Replacement Project ($35M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal efficiencies and a better passenger experience. Due to increased aircraft seating existing passenger hold areas are overcrowded during peak times as identified in the recent Master Plan Update. Recently the opportunity had risen through the Airport Terminal Improvement Program from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. We have submitted our request for full build out of this project, including: Demolition of the existing South Concourse; new Terminal improvements (approximately 45,000 SF of new gross floor area on 2 levels); five (5) new aircraft gates; up to four (4) new passenger boarding bridges (PBB), new passenger circulation and hold rooms; future concessions space; and apron construction within demolished South Concourse footprint. The South Terminal Replacement Project will be approximately 160' farther from Taxiway A as the existing South Concourse. We were not selected this past year and have reapplied for FFY23 design only. We did receive notice from the program that we will be awarded the a design only grant for this project. We have finalized discussions with the FAA to how best move this project forward in the future, as the timing to design this needs to be pushed back due to FAA scheduling requirement and having the funding to complete the construction of this project. We have moved forward with schematics and preliminary cost estimates for existing potential funding source applications. 3. Cargo Apron Construction Project ($4.7M). The purpose of this project is to provide additional space for other potential cargo carry operations. Have submitted 7460-1 (Air Space Review) to FAA for this project. The scoping of the he project, design only has been completed with the FAA. The IFE process for completion before a FAA Grant Application in April has been completed. Grant Application was submitted on April 3, 2023. Grant has been issued, moving to finalize contract. The contract has been issued to Hoyle, Tanner and Associates with the design to start. It has been determined that this project will require additional FAA technical operations review prior to proceeding. The FAA updated review has been issued as favorable, and the project design is moving forward. We plan on bidding Page 154 of 181 January 7, 2026 Airport Commission Construction Update Page 2 of 6 this project later this year. Project design is near completion. Working on permit applications. We anticipate we will apply for a grant in April of 2026 for construction. 4. SRE Building Design ($1.2M). The purpose of this project is to replace the existing out dated facilities, which does not meet the storage needs of the required equipment to maintain the airfield. A contract for study is being completed with programing and scoping moving forward. The scoping session with the FAA has been completed. The final scope is complete with the IFE process was completed. The Grant Application was submitted to the FAA. Contract has been signed with Passero Associates to design and bid this project. Site investigations were completed in November. The site plan is developed with the building design at 30%. We have had page turn of the draft plans. Applications for permits are being moved forward. A pre –Application meeting was held with South Burlington Planning and Development Staff in preparation for an upcoming DRB hearing. Permit Applications are being prepared. We presented to the South Burlington DRB on June 3rd. The hearing was not closed. There were items that needed follow up. We have followed up on these items and are scheduled back with the DRB on July 1, 2025. The SB DRB process has been completed. Permits have been issued. Bids for construction are due on January 9, 2026. 5. FAA CIP for FY26 and next 5 years. We met with the FAA Airports Division on September 17th. Items discussed for FFY26, cargo apron construction, SRE building construction, obstruction removal easements, final application to complete project NeXT, RSIP Phase 6 considering receipt of the $7.3M grant from OLDCC, centralized deicing and the following 5 years. We updated the CIP with these consideration and have received the FAA’s comments on this. We will be updating again and resubmitting. 6. BETA – Development Communication and coordination with Beta on the first phase of the Electric Aircraft Assemble Facility and Valley West Hangar for all aspects of permitting, environmental, engineering, utilities and attendance at public hearing and construction meetings. The first Phase is complete. We are coordinating with Beta on all aspects of their development, currently the child care center permitting and Hangar Construction. 7. South Apron and TW G Ext. Development ($6.6). The purpose of this project is to provide much needed additional general aviation apron area on the airfield. Completed, working on closeout documents. 8. Glycol System Upgrade (est. $3.5M). The purpose of this project is to improve the glycol system (De- icing). We have had additional follow up discussions with the FAA and it appears this is eligible for funding and is being added back into our FAA CIP. We have received and reviewed the site evaluation and process review scope. We brought this for Airport Commission approval last month subsequently, it was approved by City Council. Study is moving forward. We visited the Syracuse Airport to evaluate and understand the technology they were using to compare to our Portland Jetport visit. The Draft study has been issued and is under review by the airport team. A review session with Stantec was completed. We had a joint meeting last week with our consultant and our FBO Heritage Flight to get Page 155 of 181 January 7, 2026 Airport Commission Construction Update Page 3 of 6 their input.

Received BOF approval to accept the Grant on June 17, 2024, City Council to vote on June 25, 2024. Grant has been issued for the two new egress lanes. A review of the issued funding is being reviewed by the airport on how much money can actually be used from the grant for this project. This determination is close to being resolved. Due to FAA rules this grant is being sent back because it does not support the full extent of this project. 10. PROJECT NEXT: North Terminal Replacement Project and New PBB’s ($63M). The purpose of this project is for overall terminal efficiencies and a better passenger experience. Due to increased aircraft seating existing passenger hold areas are overcrowded during peak times as identified in the recent Master Plan Update.

Page 159 of 181 To: Airport Commissioners From: Marie Friedman, CPA, Director of Finance Date: December 31, 2025 Re: Financial Highlights Report for January 7, 2026 meeting • This month’s financial package includes the November P&L, Revenue Recovery Metrics and the Banking Balance report. • STIMULUS GRANTS Summary o The Airport received a $7.6M Grant November 30, 2021 under the American Rescue Act. There is still $768,957 available under ARPA grant. This grant was closed out in December, and the remaining balance paid to the Airport. o BTV renewed the Grant Anticipation Note (GAN) in early July. There is one drawdown for AIP- 149 (South Apron Construction) for $372,000 under the new GAN. The Airport has $9,628,000 million still available to draw on if needed. Interest rates are adjusted monthly. Interest paid on the GAN is eligible for reimbursement under a future PFC application. • Year-to-date (YTD) Revenues through November were $12.6 Million. Operating revenues are lower than the prior year, primarily due November 2024 showing $946,754 in Stimulus funds. The December P&L will reflect the $768,957 received from the stimulus funds this year. The parking garage revenues are higher (due to increasing the daily rate), however landing fees are lower. Starting in February 2026, incentives for Breeze will expire, and they will begin paying landing fees on some of their routes. Please refer to the P&L for more detail. The Airport Revenue recovery schedule is included as well. All metrics are recovering as expected. This shows five revenue sources and how they performed over time. The data points represent a trailing twelve month for each month. • Expenses thru November were $7.98 Million. This is very similar to last year. Please refer to the P&L for more detail. • Cash update: As of November 30, 2025, BTV had $4,227,594 in the Airport International account and did not owe the City any money.

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 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 Page 165 of 181 Page 2 of 5 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 September 2025 Punch list items will be completed in January 2026. See status below as of 20251217: Page 166 of 181 Page 3 of 5 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. The Construction Improvements has started on this phase of homes and will continue through December 2025. Punch list items will be completed in January 2026. See status below as of 20251217: Page 167 of 181 Page 4 of 5 5. 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. The grant was just recently issued. Contract documents and submittals are in progress. Page 168 of 181 Page 5 of 5 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. This project is complete and we are moving it to closure. 7. Residential Sound Insulation Project “Construction” – OLDCC (DOD) ($7.4M EST.). We received this grant funding and will provide further update during the October meeting. Communication has resumed with the OLDCC office. Design has started on the projected homes. 8. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 6 (TBD). The Airport is proposing to continue implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in the first paragraph in this report. With the OLDCC award we are currently planning our approach for the FAA 2026 grant application season. This will include the Construction Administration and Resident Project Representative for the OLDCC construction and preparation for a full construction grant application in the next round.
