IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO, THANK YOU.

UH, RECORD MONTH EXCEEDING OUR PREVIOUS NUMBERS.

AS, AS PART OF MY UPDATE, I WANT TO SHARE HOW OUR OPERATIONS ARE PROGRESSING, UH, THIS MONTH IN MAY.

AND, AND, UH, I'LL HAVE TO SAY THAT SUMMER TRAVEL IS AT FULL THROTTLE.

UH, IT'S, IT'S, WE HAD A RECORD MONTH IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MAY WILL BE ANOTHER,

[00:05:01]

AND SO WE'RE UP NEARLY, GOSH, 20, 23%, UM, FROM MAY OF LAST YEAR.

AND SO OUR NUMBERS ARE, ARE DEFINITELY TAKING UP FOR, FOR THE SUMMER.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO GREET ALL OF OUR PASSENGERS AND ENSURING THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THEM AN EASY, ONGOING EXPERIENCE.

UH, BUT I TELL YOU, IT DOES HAVE OUR, OUR TEAM, UH, AND WELL AS OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS REALLY, AND JUST FULL FORCE, ALL HANDS ON DECK AND REALLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PASSENGERS, UH, GO IN AND OUT AS SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

BUT I ALSO WANNA SHARE A FEW OTHER THINGS.

UH, THAT'S, I THINK RECENTLY, UH, I ATTENDED A WTS, WHICH IS WOMEN TRANSPORTATION SEMINAR.

UM, INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE.

UH, WE HAD, UH, NEARLY 3000 ATTENDEES, WOMEN ATTENDEES AND, UH, INVOLVED IN TRANSPORTATION LIMITS, RAIL, UH, AVIATION AND, UM, UH, JUST, UH, ROADWAYS AND, AND BUSES AND TRANSIT.

SO I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO PARTICIPATE ON A DIRECTOR'S PANEL, UH, REPRESENTING AVIATION AND, AND TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE GREAT WORK THAT IS GOING ON AT LONG BEACH AIRPORT.

THERE ARE STILL SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DON'T KNOW ABOUT LONG BEACH AIRPORT.

AND SO, UH, BORN SOUTH THAT WERE ABLE TO SHARE, UM, WHAT WE'RE DOING AND, AND JUST START PHASE TWO PROGRAM AND, AND SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON, BEING THAT WE'RE A HUNDRED YEARS OLD, BUT, BUT AGAIN, WE DON'T LOOK LIKE IT.

AND SO JUST BEING ABLE TO, TO SHARE THAT, UH, WITH THOSE ATTENDINGS WAS, WAS EYEOPENING FOR MANY OF THEM.

AND SO I, I AM PART OF THE, THE LA CHAPTER OF WTS AND, AND VERY PROUD TO, TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT THE ORGANIZATION AT THAT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE.

AND THEN SECONDLY, UM, OUR RUNWAY JOB, IF YOU RECALL LAST YEAR, WE DID THE REHABILITATE RUNWAY 1230, UH, REPLACEMENT LIGHTING, UH, PROJECT ON OUR AIRFIELD.

AND WE WERE RECENTLY, UH, RECOGNIZED BY THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, CMAA.

UH, THEY'RE A VERY COMMON ORGANIZATION, UH, UH, THAT, THAT, UH, HAS A VERY ROBUST SOCAL CHAPTER.

AND WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE, UM, TO WIN AN AWARD, BE RECOGNIZED FOR OUR HARD WORK THAT WAS A $9.5 MILLION PROJECT, UH, PRIMARILY FUNDED BY THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION AS PART OF THE AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

AND, AND REALLY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO, TO AGAIN, GET SOME OF OUR GOALS AS FAR AS OUR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS IN PLACING ALL THE RUNWAY LIGHTS WITH LED.

UH, THERE, THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER AIRPORTS THAT ARE DOING THESE TYPE OF BIG PROGRAMS. AND SO WE WERE, UH, INDEED HONORED TO BE ABLE, UH, TO BE AMONGST, UH, VARIOUS TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS, BUT TO, TO ALSO, UM, RECEIVE AN AWARD AND RECOGNITION.

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITH OUR PARTNERS.

UH, CERTAINLY THE, THE, UM, CONTRACTOR, UH, THAT WORKED ON THE PROJECT AS WELL AS KBG CONSTRUCTION CONSULTING.

THERE WERE A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FIRM THAT ASSISTED US, UH, BUT CERTAINLY ALL OF OUR, OUR STAFF.

UM, AND JUST, UH, FAA JUST A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COORDINATION TO DO A RUNWAY JOB, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE, YOU'RE NEEDING TO CLOSE IT , UM, AND, AND WORK OUT ON IT.

AND SO, UH, THE INSTALLATION OF MORE THAN 500 ENERGY SAVING LED LIGHTS, UH, WAS PART OF THAT JOB AS IT WAS INDEED AN MATTER TO BE RECOGNIZED BY CMAA.

UH, LASTLY, BEFORE WE GO TO, UM, THE INDIVIDUAL REPORT, UH, I DO WANT TO SHARE JUST AS A REMINDER THAT A NOTICE DID GO OUT ABOUT THE F-A-A-L-G-B INFORMATIONAL WEBINAR NEXT TUESDAY.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I MENTIONED THAT.

THAT IS TUESDAY, JUNE 25TH FROM FIVE TO SEVEN.

IT'S A, A PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL WEBINAR FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON GENERAL AVIATION AND OPERATIONS HERE IN LONG BEACH.

UH, THERE, THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT, UH, COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY, BUT REALLY FOCUS, AS YOU KNOW, ON THE CONCERNS AND, AND QUESTIONS REGARDING GENERAL AVIATION.

UH, BUT I'M DELIGHTED THAT THE FAA HAS PARTNERED WITH US AND, UH, THIS IS THE WESTERN SERVICE REGION.

SO, UM, UH, THIS IS PRETTY HIGH, UH, UH, UP THERE WITH FAA TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR PARTICIPATION IN ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES TO REALLY FOCUS IN ON LONG BEACH.

WE WILL ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE AIRPORT, OR AIRCRAFT OWNERS AND PILOTS ASSOCIATIONS.

UM, THAT'S A OPA I'M SURE SOME OF THESE DOCUMENTS MIGHT BE FAMILIAR TO SOMEONE NEW.

UM, THE NATIONAL BUSINESS AVIATION ASSOCIATION OR NPAA AS WELL AS THE LONG BEACH AIRPORT ASSOCIATION, LBAA.

AND IT WILL BE, UH, STREAMED, LIVE STREAMED AND RECORDED.

SO IT'LL BE AVAILABLE AFTER, AFTER THE, UH, WEBINAR FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T ATTEND.

BUT, UH, INDIVIDUALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PRE-REGISTER.

[00:10:01]

A NOTICE WENT OUT AND THEY PUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL AS FAA HAS PUT ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT THEY CAN, UH, REGISTER AHEAD OF TIME, BUT IN YOUR QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME.

UH, AND, AND, UH, IT'LL BE, UH, QUITE EXPERIENCED AS SOMETHING THAT IS DIFFERENT FOR, FOR MANY AIRPORTS, UH, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF ENGAGEMENT IN LIVE, UH, Q AND A.

SO LOOK FORWARD TO TUESDAY EVENING.

AND WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO PASS IT ON OVER TO CHE, OUR FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFICER TO GIVE US A FINANCIAL UPDATE.

HE'S ALREADY BEHIND THE CHAIR.

THERE YOU GO.

UH, GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS.

UM, IN YOUR, UH, PACKET, YOU SHOULD HAVE THE COMMERCIAL FLIGHT ACTIVITY FOR, FOR APRIL, 2024.

SO, UM, STARTING OFF AT THE TOP LEFT FOR COMMERCIAL AIRLINE, YOU SEE THAT DELTA AIRLINE OPERATED WITH ABOUT 89 LANDINGS, UM, CAREFUL TO THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR, UH, WITH A TOTAL OF 7,300.

UH, EMPLOYS, UH, THE ALLOW FACTOR IS, UM, SLIGHTLY LOWER.

UH, THIS YEAR.

UH, THEY ENDED UP, UH, OPERATING ABOUT 16% MORE, AND THAT'S DUE TO THE, UH, LARGER AIRCRAFT THAT THEY ARE, LARGER AIRCRAFT THAT THEY'RE USING, UH, FOR ONE OF THEIR FLIGHTS OUT OF THE THREE.

AND SO THAT'S ADDED MORE SEEDS ULTIMATELY LEADING TO MORE EMPLOYEMENT, UH, FOR HAWAIIAN AIRLINES.

WE SEE THEY OPERATE WITH 60 LIGHTINGS COMPARED TO 51 LAST YEAR.

AND SO THAT TOTAL, UM, 9,500 IN CLAIMANTS 17% ABOVE LAST YEAR.

SO LAST YEAR THEY DID HAVE A FEW, UM, FLIGHTS THAT, UM, DIDN'T TAKE PLACE BECAUSE OF THE CLOSURES FOR THE RUNWAY LIGHTING, UM, PROJECT THAT, UM, CYNTHIA MENTIONED EARLIER.

AND SO THAT, UM, HAS LED TO THE, UM, TO PARIS INCREASING FOR THIS YEAR.

UH, AND THEN SOUTHWEST AIRLINES RECEIVED THAT.

THEY ALSO SAW ABOUT A 14% INCREASE IN ACTIVITY, A TOTAL OF 155,000 FOR THE MONTH.

THEN IN TOTAL, THAT'S 172,000 FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL.

UH, THAT'S 14% HIGHER THAN, UH, WHAT WE SAW, UH, IN 2023 FOR THE SAME PERIOD.

UM, LOOKING AT THE RIGHT CALL, UM, WE SEE THAT DELTA AIRLINES, UH, CONTINUE TO SEE THAT, UM, ACTIVITY INCREASE, UM, FOR THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS OF THE YEAR.

AND SO, UM, THAT'S CONSISTENT.

UM, AND THEN FOR HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, WE SEE THAT, OH, HERE YOU GO, .

UM, UH, FOR YEAR TO DATE, UH, NUMBERS FOR HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, WE SEE THAT, UM, THEIR, UH, ACTIVITY IS DOWN 15%, AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE FIRST QUARTER WHERE WE TEMPORARILY SAW A FLIGHT SLEEP ONLY, UM, TEMPORARILY HALTED.

AND THEN, UH, SOUTHWEST AIRLINES, UM, SEEING THE, THE SAME INCREASES, UH, DOUBLE DIGITS 22% INCREASE.

UM, SO FAR IN THE YEAR TOTAL, UH, NEARLY 600,000, UM, COMPLAINANTS.

UH, AND IN TOTAL FOR THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS OF THE, UH, CALENDAR YEAR, WE SEE ABOUT 654,000 BETWEEN ALL THE AIR CARRIERS.

UH, LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM LEFT, WE SEE AIR CARGO CARRIER OPERATIONS, UH, FOR UPS SEEING 21 LANDINGS FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL, COMPARABLE TO WHAT THEY SAW, UH, IN 2023 FOR THE SAME PERIOD.

UH, THE TOTAL TONNAGE IS 844 COMPARED TO 958, UM, IN THE SAME PERIOD.

UH, THAT'S A 12% DROP, AND THEY CONSISTENTLY SAW THAT, UH, THROUGHOUT THE CALENDAR YEAR SO FAR, UH, TOTALING 11%, UH, DROP, UH, FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR.

UH, THAT'S ABOUT 3,800, UM, CAR TONNAGE PROCESSED COMPARED TO A 4,200 DAY THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AND THAT CONCLUDES THIS QUESTION.

GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS.

NEXT, WE'LL HAVE OUR OPERATIONS MANAGER 2024 REPORT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR PACKET THE APRIL MO REPORT.

AS SHOWN ON PAGE TWO OF THE REPORT, WE HAD A TOTAL OF TWO LATE NIGHT AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS IN THE MONTH OF APRIL.

BOTH OCCURRED PRIOR TO 11:00 PM UH, THESE TWO DELAYS WERE THE RESULT OF MECHANICAL AND WEATHER DELAYS, AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, THEY QUALIFIED FOR UNANTICIPATED DELAY WAIVERS.

SO IT IS SHOWN ON PAGE THREE.

NONE OF THESE OPERATIONS RESULTED IN A NOISE VIOLATION.

UH, THE AIR CARRIERS CONTINUE TO DO A FANTASTIC JOB MANAGING THEIR OPERATIONS.

OUR, OUR AIR CARRIER VIOLATIONS ARE FAR BELOW WHERE WE WERE IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

WE HAD A TOTAL OF SEVEN GA AND CHARTER VIOLATIONS IN IN APRIL.

IN TERMS OF OPERATIONS, WE HAD 3040 AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS IN APRIL, REPRESENTING AN APPROXIMATE 16% INCREASE AS

[00:15:01]

COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

WE HAD 34,371 GENERAL AVIATION OPERATIONS AND REPRESENTING A 40% INCREASE AS COMPARED TO, UH, THE APRIL OF 2023.

THE SEVEN VIOLATIONS ARE DETAILED.

ON PAGE FOUR, ALL OF THE VIOLATIONS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH LATE NIGHT ACTIVITY AND NORTH LEVEL EXCEEDANCES AND, UH, ALL WERE ASSOCIATED WITH RUNWAY 1, 2, 3 0.

SO ANY, ANY QUESTIONS ON, ON OUR VIOLATIONS THERE? DID PAGE QUE, DID YOU COVER THE 11:00 PM TO 7:00 AM THERE WERE NO, 11 TO SEVEN UNLESS I OH, I SEE.

THE TOTAL OF TWO IS CARRIED DOWN.

OKAY, NEVERMIND.

YES.

TOTAL OF TWO AND GOT IT.

PAGE FIVE, DETAILS ARE RUNWAY TWO SIX OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY.

THE GRAPH AT THE TOP IS THE 31 DAY ROLLING AVERAGE OF DAILY DEPARTURES FROM RUNWAY RUNWAYS, TWO SIX LEFT AND TWO SIX RIGHT RUNWAY TWO SIX LEFT IS SHOWN IN THE, AS THE GREEN LINE AND DEPARTURE OPERATIONS FROM RUNWAY TWO SIX RIGHT ARE DEPICTED IN, IN BLUE.

UH, AGAIN, WE'RE SHOWING 25 MONTHS OF DATA THAT ESSENTIALLY PROVIDES TWO FULL YEARS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPARE THE RECENT DATA WITH, WITH, WITH MORE HISTORICAL DATA AS DEPICTED IN THE GRAPHS.

THE 31 DAY ROLLING AVERAGE DEPARTURE DATA FOR TWO SIX LEFT RANGES FROM APPROXIMATELY 75 DAILY OPERATIONS TO 260 DAILY OPERATIONS.

THE GRAPH FOR RUNWAY TWO SIX RIGHT RANGES FROM A LOW OF APPROXIMATELY 50 DAILY OPERATIONS TO A HIGH OF 150.

UH, THE GRASS GENERALLY TRACKED TOGETHER, UH, WITH THE SEASONAL VARIATIONS, ALONG WITH THE SPECIAL OCCURRENCES SUCH AS RUNWAY CLOSURES, ET CETERA.

UH, WE ENDED APRIL WITH A, WITH ABOUT 240 DAILY OPERATIONS ON TWO SIX LEFT AND 140 ON RUNWAY TWO SIX.

RIGHT.

THE CHART AT THE BOTTOM DEPICTS THE DEPARTING RUNWAY USE PERCENTAGES AS SHOWN IN THESE CHART.

RUNWAY TWO SIX LEFT IS USED FOR THE MAJORITY OF OPERATIONS.

AND APRIL, THERE WERE ABOUT 62% OF OUR PARALLEL OP.

PARALLEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS WERE ON TWO SIX ALLOWED SIX INCLUDES A MAP OF 16 OF OUR 18 NOISE MONITORS.

AGAIN, MONITORS THREE AND SEVEN ARE NOT SHOWN THAT THEY ARE SIMPLY TOO FAR AWAY TO, TO PUT ON THE MAP AT A REASONABLE SCALE.

THE NOISE MONITOR, OR RMT NUMBER IS SHOWN IN THE, IN THE, UH, GREEN AND BLUE CIRCLES.

THE GREEN LOCATIONS ARE COMMUNITY NOISE MONITORS.

THE BLUE LOCATIONS ARE, ARE REGULATORY NOISE MONITORS.

AND THE MONTHLY CS ARE THE VALUES SHOWN IN THE WHITE, WHITE RECTANGLES.

FOUR OF THE MONITORS ARE LOCATED ON THE AIRFIELD.

UH, KEY MONITORS ARE MONITORS NINE NORTH OF THE AIRPORT AND MONITOR 10 SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT.

THESE ARE THE REGULATORY BUDGET MONITORS.

UH, WE HAVE BOTH SINGLE EVENT AND CUMULATIVE NOISE LIMITS AT THESE, THESE MONITORS.

UH, THE OTHER BLUE MONITORS HAVE SINGLE EVENT LIMITS.

SO A MAXIMUM OVERLY LIMIT, IF YOU WILL, HAS SHOWN THE HIGHEST OFF AIRPORT NOISE LEVELS OCCUR AT RMT 10.

UH, THIS IS IN THE APPROACH CORRIDOR TO RUNWAY THREE ZERO IN, IN LOS ALTOS.

UH, THE NOISE LEVEL AT THIS LOCATION WAS 63.5 CEL IN THE MONTH OF APRIL.

ANOTHER KEY LOCATION IS RMT SIX.

THIS MONITORS LOCATED WEST OF THE AIRPORT FROM THE DEPARTURE QUARTER FOR RUNWAY TWO SIX.

RIGHT.

THIS MONITOR IS ITS REPRESENTATIVE OF NOISE LEVELS IN THE COMMUNITY OF COW HEIGHTS.

NOISE LEVEL AT THIS LOCATION WAS 60.1 CEO IN THE MONTH OF APRIL.

THE CHART AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE PROVIDES THE MONTHLY CEO VALUES AT, AT EACH OF THE, UH, MONITORS FOR THE PAST 13 MONTHS, ALTHOUGH NOT ON, NOT INCLUDED ON THE MAP, UH, MONITORS THREE AND SEVEN ARE INCLUDED IN, IN THIS CHART.

AND, UH, THESE DATA INDICATE THAT WE DO NOT EXCEED 65 CEO AT ANY OFFSITE LOCATION.

SO, UH,

[00:20:01]

IN SHORT, WE'RE IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OF OUR REGULATORY, UH, STANDARDS PER MONTH.

COMPLAINTS ARE LISTED ON PAGE SEVEN.

UM, WE HAD A TOTAL OF 52,771 COMPLAINTS IN THE MONTH OF APRIL.

UH, I THINK THAT'S OUR HIGHEST, UH, VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE COMPLAINTS ARE FROM THE 9 0 8 0 7 ZIP CODE, UH, WHICH HAD 40 2072 COMPLAINTS FROM NINE SIX HOUSEHOLDS.

UH, WITHIN THAT, THAT ZIP CODE, UH, THIS IS THE AREA IMMEDIATELY WEST OF THE AIRPORT, INCLUDING THE, UH, COMMUNITY OF COW HEIGHTS.

UH, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THESE COMPLAINTS WERE SUBMITTED VIA THE AUTOMATED BUTTON PROCESS.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THOSE GO DIRECT DIRECTLY INTO THE A NINE SYSTEM.

SO, UH, THIS, THIS CONCLUDES THE, UH, THE NOISE REPORT FOR, UH, FOR APRIL.

NEXT I BRING BACK UP, UH, PUBLIC AFFAIRS SYSTEM EXCUSE.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION? ABSOLUTELY.

FINISH THAT.

UH, JUST A QUESTION ON THE INVOICE.

I NOTICED THAT IN MARCH THERE WERE 27,879 COMPLAINTS IN THAT ZIP CODE, AND IT JUMPED UP TO 40 2072.

IS THERE ANY UNDERSTANDING, IS IT COMING JUST FROM SEVERAL HOUSEHOLDS OR MULTIPLE HOU? YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LARGE INCREASE, RIGHT? THE, THE HOUSEHOLDS HAVE A TOTAL OF 96 HOUSEHOLDS.

MM-HMM.

AND, UH, WE HAVEN'T SEEN A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN HOUSEHOLDS.

SO IT IS THE SAME ONES A DRAMATIC USE OF THE BUTTON.

AGAIN, HAVE WE PLOTTED THOSE HOUSEHOLDS TO DETERMINE WHERE SPECIFIC WHERE? YEAH.

AND ALSO, I, I WANNA NOTE THAT 9 0 8 0 7 ALSO INCLUDES BIGSBY KNOWLES, NOT JUST CAL HEIGHTS, RIGHT? BUT HAVE WE PLOTTED THOSE HOUSEHOLDS IN CASES WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO PLOT THOSE? WE, WE WILL, UH, IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE YOUR ADDRESS WHEN YOU SUBMIT A NOISE COMPLAINT.

UH, SO THAT'S, UH, IN SOME CASES WE DO HAVE ADDRESS DATA, THE SPECIFIC ADDRESSES.

IN SOME CASES WE HAVE CROSS STREETS, UH, AND IN OTHER CASES WE HAVE NOTHING AT ALL.

SO, IN CASES WHERE WE DO HAVE THE DATA, WE, WE DO PLOT THOSE, THOSE DATA.

AND THE VAST MAJORITY ARE IN THE VICINITY OF, UH, CALIFORNIA HEIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE, UH, DEPARTURE OPERATIONS FROM ONE WAY, 2, 6, 5.

YES.

COMMISSIONER, UM, FOR THE, SO-CALLED SMASH BUTTON IS, UH, IDENTIFYING INFORMATION OF WHERE THOSE ARE LOCATED.

IS THAT PROVIDED IN THE SMASH BUTTON OR IS IT ANONYMOUS? IT CAN BE BOTH.

IT CAN BE BOTH.

IT CAN BE BOTH.

SO THERE'S, YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR SOME FOLKS, THERE'S A HESITANCY TO PROVIDE THEIR ADDRESS.

UH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SPEAK WITH INDIVIDUALS ON THE PHONE, SOME FOLKS ARE, ARE VERY LEERY OF, OF GIVING YOUR ADDRESS TO THE GOVERNMENT.

, IF YOU WILL.

UH, SOME FOLKS FEEL THAT WE'LL SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH PILOTS AND, AND THERE WILL BE RETALIATION.

UH, SO, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER FOLKS ARE COMFORTABLE WITH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO RECEIVE.

UH, OKAY.

GO AHEAD.

ONE MORE QUESTION IS THAT, IS THIS DUE TO THE NUMBER INCREASE IN GENERAL AVIATION, UM, TAKEOFFS IN THAT AREA? SO I NOTICED THAT THE CHART, UM, OF THE GENERAL AVIATION ANALYSIS LOOKS LIKE IT WENT UP.

SO I'M WONDERING IF IT'S, UH, CORRELATED DIRECTLY TO THE NUMBER OF GA FLIGHTS THAT ARE TAKING OFF FROM 26, RIGHT? UM, YES.

COMMISSIONER, IT, IT IS.

WHEN WE PLOT NOISE COMPLAINTS AND OPERATION, THERE IS DEFINITELY A POSITIVE CORRELATION.

MM-HMM.

AS OPERATIONS GO UP, COMPLAINTS GO UP.

AS OPERATIONS GO DOWN, COMPLAINTS GO DOWN.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS HIGHLIGHTS FOR MAY, 2024.

THANK YOU HONOR.

MORNING OR RON TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS UPDATE.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

HERE.

PACKET, YOU'LL FIND THE

[00:25:01]

THE AIRPORT CONTINUES TO MARKET ITSELF THROUGH A VARIETY OF MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES.

WE RECENTLY BEGAN RUNNING A NATIONWIDE DIGITAL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN.

THE GOOD THING ABOUT DIGITAL ADVERTISING IS THAT IT IS VERY COST EFFECTIVE AND CAN BE FINELY TARGETED.

WE'LL SEE A SAMPLE AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE ONE OF ONE OF THOSE ADS.

MOST OF THE CAMPAIGN FOCUSES ON INBOUND TRAVELERS.

IN SOME OF OUR NONSTOP DESTINATION CITIES, WHERE WE ARE SEEING LOWER PASSENGER LOADS, WE SERVE ADS TO RESIDENTS IN THOSE CITIES WHO ARE SEARCHING FOR FLIGHTS TO THE LOS ANGELES AREA, ENCOURAGING THEM TO FLY INTO LONG BEACH AIRPORT.

BECAUSE OF OUR EASE OF TRAVEL AND CENTRAL LOCATION, A PORTION OF THE FUNDING IS DIRECTED TO TRAVELERS IN LONG BEACH AND NORTH ORANGE COUNTY, WHO ARE SEARCHING TO, FOR FLIGHTS TO DESTINATIONS WHERE WE OFFER NONSTOP SERVICE.

THROUGH THIS CAMPAIGN, WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO INTRODUCING NEW AUDIENCES WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH LONG BEACH AIRPORT.

IN THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH SECTION, WHICH BEGINS ON PAGE TWO, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE AGAIN PARTICIPATED IN THE LONG BEACH PRIDE PARADE.

WE ALSO COLLABORATED WITH L-E-U-S-D MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HAVE OUR THERAPY DOCS VISIT WITH STUDENTS.

OUR PERSONNEL STAFF PARTICIPATED IN THE CITY'S CAREER DAY AND SPOKE WITH MORE THAN 300 ATTENDEES ABOUT CAREERS AT LONG BEACH AIRPORT.

WE WERE THRILLED TO CELEBRATE THE INSTALLATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL SIGN OF THE ARROW LONG BEACH VIEWING AREA, WHICH MARKED THE FINAL PIECE OF THE PROJECT THAT WAS SPEARHEADED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BY FORMER AIRPORT COMMISSIONER HAL GOSLING.

THIS WAS A GREAT COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE COMMISSION, THE AIRPORT, AND REALTY TO BUILD A VIEWING AREA ON THEIR PRIVATE LEASEHOLD.

THE RESPONSE TO THIS PROJECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA HAS BEEN VERY ENTHUSIASTIC.

THANK YOU TO VICE CHAIR LARSON, UH, FOR ATTENDING THIS PHOTO OP AND TO THE MANY COMMISSIONERS WHO WORKED ON THIS PROJECT OVER THE YEARS.

TRULY APPRECIATE IT.

WE'RE VERY HAPPY THAT OUR LGB LIVE CL MUSIC PROGRAM IS PICKED OFF ONCE AGAIN, IN ADDITION TO LOCAL, INDEPENDENT MUSICIANS, WE'RE ALWAYS HAPPY OF MOST YOUTH MUSICIANS, SUCH AS THE CABRIO HIGH SCHOOL STEEL DRUM BAND, AND THE JAZZ ANGELS.

IN MAY, THERE WERE 59 EARNED MEDIA PLACEMENTS.

AND AEROFLEX ANNOUNCING A NEW LEADERSHIP CHANGE FOR ITS OPERATIONS AT LONG BEACH REPORT.

AND LASTLY, REGARDING SOCIAL MEDIA, WE CONTINUE TO ENGAGE WITH OUR FOLLOWER FOLLOWERS, AND YOU'LL SEE OUR TOP SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS ON PAGES SEVEN, SIX, AND SEVEN.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

AND IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO VIEW THIS VIDEOS THAT ARE SHOWN ON, ON PAGE SIX, UM, WITH OUR STAFF, I MEAN, THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

SO I ENCOURAGE YOU IN YOUR, YOUR TIME TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK, UM, AT THOSE TWO VIDEOS.

AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES OUR STAFF REPORT.

SO, ANY DISCUSSION AMONG LOCATIONS? YES.

HOW ARE WE ADVERTISING THE, THE WEBINAR? UM, ARE WE PUTTING IT IN THE, ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS LIKE IN THE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTERS? I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY.

SO, SO TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO IS WE, UH, PROVIDE, UH, THIS MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, A MEMBER FROM THE CITY MANAGER AND I, AND IT OUTLINED THE ACTUAL AND THE LINK TO, TO REGISTER, UM, THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND TYPICALLY WILL HAVE, UM, UH, DIFFERENT MEDIA PICK THAT UP.

BUT WE ALSO, THE AIRPORT ALSO HAS, UH, PUT THE LINK ON OUR WEBSITE AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITES TO MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS ARE, ARE INFORMED.

AND, AND YES, I HAVE SEEN IT ON CD FIVE AND I BELIEVE CD FOUR'S EMAIL CLASS.

SO OUR, I GUESS I MISSED IT.

DISTRICT OFFICES WILL SHARE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL.

AND THEN THE FA IS ALSO, UM, IN ADDITION, THE WEBSITE, THEY ALSO EMAILED IT OUT TO CERTAIN, UM, UH, ELECTEDS AND OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE INTERESTED.

OH, I, I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO ASK THIS, UM, WHICH IS WHY I'M BRINGING IT UP.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE A PLACE ON OUR AGENDA FOR, UM, NEW BUSINESS, WHICH IS USUALLY WHERE COMMISSIONERS BRING UP SOME THINGS THAT THEY'D LIKE EITHER DISCUSSED OR FURTHER ELABORATED OR JUST, YOU KNOW, NEW BUSINESS IN GENERAL.

UM, AND SO I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT WE CONSIDER MAYBE IZING, CONSIDERING ADDING A NEW BUSINESS ITEM TO THE AGENDA.

NOT THAT WE USE IT OFTEN, BUT THERE MIGHT BE A TIME WHERE WE WANNA BRING SOMETHING UP AND THERE'S REALLY NO PLACE ON OUR CURRENT AGENDA FORMAT FOR DOING, DOING THAT.

IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING? SO THE CURRENT AGENDA FORMAT WAS, UH, PUT TOGETHER IN, UH, CONCERT WITH THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, UH, TO MAKE, UH, IT CONSISTENT ACROSS ALL OF OUR COMMISSION BODIES.

THEY HAD INTENDED FOR THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING TO BE FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS AND FOR, UH, THAT TYPE OF A REQUEST, UH,

[00:35:01]

WE CAN CERTAINLY INQUIRE TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO PAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE MORE INDICATIVE OF AN OPPORTUNITY SUCH AS THE ONE THAT YOU'RE ASKING.

MM-HMM.

SO, YEAH, WE'LL CHECK.

I, YOU KNOW, I JUST GOT OFF THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION WHERE WE HAD, UH, A PLACE WHERE WE COULD BRING UP THINGS THAT WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS.

UM, AND I BELIEVE IT'S ON MOST OF THE COMMISSION AGENDAS.

SO IN THE MEANTIME, HOWEVER, UM, WAS THEIR INTENTION TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF DISCUSSION OCCUR UNDER ANNOUNCEMENTS DURING THIS PERIOD? FOR NOW.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIFIC FOR TODAY? OH, NO, NO.

JUST THAT .

IT'S LIKE, WHAT'S THAT? NO, I HAVE NOTHING TO BRING UP.

I JUST, WE NEEDED A PLACE TO BRING THINGS UP JUST IN CASE.
