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 Page 5 of 32  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. Page 6 of 32 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 Page 7 of 32  14.1 No follow up items 15.0 Adjournment MOTION by Al Turkos, SECOND by Helen Riehle to adjourn the meeting.

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 ($73M). 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 (ATP) 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 have moved forward with schematics and preliminary cost estimates for existing potential funding source applications. ATP application for funding was submitted in January. 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 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 this project in March. Project design is complete. Working on permit applications. We anticipate we will apply for a grant in April of 2026 for construction. Page 9 of 32 February 4, 2026 Airport Commission Construction Update Page 2 of 6 4. SRE Building Design ($29M).

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. Received Grant Amendment. Awaiting Closeout documentation and final payout from the FAA. 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 15 of 32  Page 2 of 4 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 completed with the contractor. Moving to closure. 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 were being completed in January 2026. 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 were being completed in January. 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. The Pre-Construction meeting held with the FAA. Construction to start in the spring. Page 16 of 32  Page 3 of 4 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.
