MARKETING PRESENTATION—As previously requested by the board, Sandy Collette of
Fourth Day Advertising and Kate Brandis of Time Warner Cable Media, presented marketing
goals, objectives and current and proposed radio and TV advertisements.
GENERAL AVIATION UPDATE Mark Chambers with Aviation Resource Group presented
an update on general aviation at ILM in comparison to the national market. His remarks
included:
• The market is not sufficient to support a second FBO of a scale equal to Air
Wilmington.
o The current 2-FBO situation at ILM is effectively providing choice at both ends
of the market. Air Wilmington is willing to invest in improvements and service,
mostly turbine aircraft and piston powered aircraft that prefer newer facilities,
while Aero Service caters to both in a split operation that provides smaller GA
aircraft owners a lower cost option in older facilities on the airport's south side.

• Comparing competitive pricing:
• Comparing monthly fuel prices is not a adequate measure
• If 80% of our GA customers are buying fuel, then we are competitive. Air
Wilmington reports 86%. The pilot looks at his opportunity to purchase fuel at
his last and next stop, therefore if he buys fuel at ILM, it is because we are
competitive.
• Hangar Construction:
• The saying"if you build it they will come" is not true.
• Private hangar demand is flat so hangars should only be constricted if there are
already customers to rent them.
• Expect GA traffic to return to 2007 peak levels by 2018 to 2020
• Hangars offer very little return for the airport until they revert to ILM at end of
lease when land lease and hangar rent are combined.
• Private Hangars compete with FBO's.
• GA Marketing:
• ILM has a compelling story for both transient and based aircraft
• Long term marketing can help drive demand to ILM.
Chairman Kays called for a brief break at 6:23 pm and called the meeting back to order at 6:30
pm.

CPT Taylor, reporting for Gary Broughton, updated the board on the recent Sunwing Airlines

aircraft. The 183 passengers and crew stayed overnight in Wilmington. Air Wilmington handled
the aircraft at Customs. The airlines, TSA, Tailwind, our staff and several of ILM's ambassadors
all helped create a good experience for all involved. Staff received several positive comments

about$1.5M. This is advantageous to ILM as we move forward with our Business Park and
airport growth.
GOVERNMENT

Mr. Morton updated the board on the social media status indicating that Facebook is up 13.2%.
Ms. White shared that she used LinkedIn as a gateway avenue to reach out to pilots by joining
four LinkedIn groups. This is a great avenue to get in conversation with pilots to see what their
decision making factors are when flying from the Bahamas or Caribbean and expose them to
what ILM has to offer in a way that they probably haven't been reached before.
PLANNING& DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Morton reported that the consultant is working with DOT on the scope of work for the

CPT Taylor reviewed the Southeast Region Average Fares for 2012 and ILM's ranking in
comparison with the 9 commercial airports in North Carolina and some discussion followed.
ILM ranked 3rd lowest airfare in a total of 9 NC commercial airports.
CPT Taylor reported the total number of passengers handled in May was 71,110, which is 4.1%
less than May 2012 and up 1.6 %versus May 2011; and the total passengers handled year-to-date
was 308,218, which is down 4.4%from 2012 and up 1.2%versus 2011.
ILM's load factor for May 2013 was 78.9%.
CPT Taylor reported the total number of seats available during the month of May was 44,895, up
3.4%from May 2012. Year-to-date available seats are 201,503, down 1.5%from 2012.
CPT Taylor reported ILM's international traffic using US Customs statistics for May 2013: 132
aircraft were cleared, which was up 26.9%from May 2012; and 646 people were cleared, which
was up 17.2 %from May 2012. Year-to-date, US Customs has cleared 996 aircraft, which was
up 4.2%from 2012, and 5,463 people, which is up 3.4 %from 2012. These numbers do not
include the 183 Canadians from the Sunwing diversion or military personnel in NC for training.
They will be included in next month's numbers.
CPT Taylor reported to the board that last month we had our 5th weapon discovered this year at
the TSA checkpoint. This has received media attention.
Regarding the decommissioning of the TACAN portion of the ILM VORTAC, CPT Taylor
reported that staff has received written notification that there will not be a decommissioning of
the TACAN.
On the matter of exit lane coverage and the TSA proposal to amend ILM ASP, CPT Taylor
reported that amendment did finally come to light and staff has until the 15th of July to make
comments and staff is working on that. AAAE is against this as well.
CPT Taylor reported on a traffic accident this morning at MLK and College Road involving one
of our Delta flight crews. Two flight attendants were ejected from the taxi. An intoxicated
driver ran the red light at 5:30 am this morning. The crew was released from the hospital and
flew out today at 2 pm. One of the flight attendants was having difficulty walking.
Lastly, CPT Taylor updated the board on the NC Fire Code pertaining to vehicles in hangars with
aircraft, indicating that Mr. Broughton and Mr. Rosborough had met with Messrs. Matt Davis,
County Fire Marshall, and Ray Griswold, Deputy Fire Marshall at ILM as requested by the
Airport Authority at its May meeting. In Mr. Davis' opinion, cars and aircraft in hangars at the
same time would not be a safe practice but if the Airport Authority insisted he would be willing
to revisit the existing agreement with the airport.
In response to Mr. Barber's question about other airports, CPT Taylor indicated staff polled 15
airports and of a119 commercial airports, including us, no one authorizes vehicles and aircraft in
hangars at the same time. Of the GA airports, there were 6 polled and there were a couple that
did allow vehicles in the hangars with aircraft.

Dr. Roseman asked if there had ever been an incident of a car in a hangar causing a fire and CPT
Taylor responded he couldn't answer that question. Mr. Rosborough commented that staff and
the Fire Marshall looked at the definition under the law of"sources of ignition." Mr.
Rosborough stated it was his position and that of administration to leave ILM's current policy of
promoting safety and not permitting vehicles and aircraft to be in hangars at the same time
unchanged.
Mr. Morton reported that the insurance carrier indicated they would issue a certificate of
insurance on a stand alone hangar and it would not affect ILM's rates. Regarding hangars with
multiple units without firewalls, if we owned that building, on the liability side, they would be
concerned and might not write the policy because it adds exposure and risk.
Dr. Roseman indicated his concern was only with the stand alone hangar. Dr. Roseman stated
that it was his understanding then that if the folks came back and wanted to rent the Signatech
hangar with the certificate of insurance then they could do it. Mr. Rosborough stated that staff
supports the current NC Fire Code riling and regulation of what the other 8 commercial airports
are doing in the State of not allowing cars and aircraft in hangars at the same time and
recommends to the Airport Authority that ILM's current policy remain unchanged.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. Rosborough updated the board on the status of the Small Community Air Service
Development Grant and ILM's attempt to raise $200,000 in order to proceed with the grant
application. To date $187,000 has been committed.
Mr. Rosborough informed the board that ILM received the Green Plus Non-Profit of the Year
award for the State of North Carolina. ILM is the first airport in the country to receive this
award.
Mr. Rosborough reminded the board that the July meeting is Wednesday, July 10tH
Mr. Rosborough extended birthday wishes to Mr. Lambeth and Dr. Kays.
OLD BUSINESS
There was no old business.
NEW BUSINESS
Chairman Kays reported that there has been interest in increasing the membership of the Airport
Authority board from five to seven members, with two members coming on in FY2013 and two
more in FY2014 and opened the floor for discussion.
Mr. Lambeth commented that he understands there is a lot of interest in serving on the Airport
Authority and suggested instead of increasing the numbers on the board, bring the persons
interested in as ad hoc members of some of the Airport Authority's committees and allow them
to participate in that way. Mr. Lambeth suggested that the board keep the number at five but
take these people interested in serving and give them the opportunity to serve on ongoing
committees and projects.
New Hanover County Airport Authority
June 5, 2013
Page 8
Mr. Barber commented that he has given this a lot of thought and he also understands it is a
popular board and agreed with Mr. Lambeth's suggestion of having ad hoc members getting
involved. Mr. Barber said he does support going to seven because it isn't an unruly number to
have on the Authority and the airport is getting more complex with the business park
development. He indicated most NC airport authorities have seven or more members. Mr.
Barber consulted with Harry Stovall, a former Airport Authority member, who indicated he
thought seven was not an unruly number and would allow the opportunity for more people to
participate from the community. Mr. Barber said it was his understanding the County
Commissioners would like the Authority to agree to the increase and doesn't know why the
Authority should resist and he is in support of the increase and likes the idea of two now and two
a year from now so that there are never more than two people rotating off the board at any given
time.
Dr. Roseman elected to make no comment.
Mr. Lennon commented that he told himself 8 years ago that he was only going to vote for things
he thought were in the best interest of the airport. Mr. Lennon stated that the five current
members don't have a thing to do with diversity on this board and further stated the airport has
grown, the number of passengers has grown, the budget has grown, our bank account has grown,
with five members. Mr. Lennon stated his concern is how it would be in the best interests of the
airport. Mr. Lennon said the argument about the size and scope of the airport growing, that same
argument can be applied across boards and commissions throughout the county, including the
commissioners. Mr. Lennon stated this should never be a political body. Mr. Lennon said he
does think seven is more manageable than nine, as allowed in the Airport Authority By-Laws,
but he is struggling to figure out how this will improve the airport.
Chairman Kays opened the floor for Commissioner Dawson to address the board.
Commissioner Dawson thanked the board and indicated that the commissioners are pleased that
the Authority is considering this resolution to expand the board to seven and passed out a
resolution for the board to review. Commissioner Dawson indicated it is the intent of this
request to have a positive impact upon the Airport Authority, upon the airport, and upon the
community. She stated that each of the over 30 boards and commissions in the community we
have the honor to appoint our citizen volunteers should be representative of the citizens that you
serve. Commissioner Dawson stated the Airport Authority had 22 applications for two spots this
year and that the authority is losing two exemplary members that have served for eight years and
their shoes will be hard to fill. Commissioner Dawson indicated there were a lot of very good
applicants among those 22 stepping up to serve their community by serving on this board and it
is going to be a tough choice on those appointments. Commissioner Dawson stated that
expanding the board to seven will enable the commissioners to allow for more citizen
participation from across the community and with the business expertise that the authority needs.
You're a grown up airport, your marketing efforts, your general aviation plans indicate a desire
to continue to grow, along with your business park expansion. Commissioner Dawson
commended the Authority for their desire to continue to grow and expand and because ILM has
such a great administration here in that leadership role, as well, that the authority is doing a great
job. Commissioner Dawson stated it is time to have some diversity on this board.
New Hanover County Airport Authority
June 5, 2013
Page 9
Commissioner Dawson reminded everyone that this Airport Authority was created by the NC
General Assembly in 1989 and that the statute, not the by-laws, sets the number of Airport
Authority members at five and gives the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners the
authority to increase the membership to nine or to decrease it to three. It isn't in the by-laws, it is
by statute passed in 1989. Commissioner Dawson further stated that the County Commissioners,
according to the statue that was passed in 2012, have more authority in addition to the
appointments and that is to remove without cause any board member they feel may not be
contributing to the best interest of the airport, this authority, and to the community that each and
every one of you serve. Commissioner Dawson indicated the commissioners in office right now
don't have any intention of doing any such thing without cause and that she didn't particularly
care for that statute but it was passed by the General Assembly last year based on the
recommendation of the County Commissioners in office at that time. Commissioner Dawson
stated the action available to us to encourage more citizen participation is to take this action
given the authority by general statute from 1989 and the commissioners feel it is in the best
interest of this authority, this airport and the community as a whole to increase your board
membership to seven to encourage more citizen participation.
Commissioner Dawson further stated it is the commissioners' interest to bring more business
expertise to the table and to add diversity to the board. Commissioner Dawson stated as the 7th
woman ever elected to the County Board of Commissioners since 1868, that the commissioners
want to appoint a business woman to this board and that she has the consensus among the
commissioners for the expansion to seven and to appoint a business woman to this board.
Commissioner Dawson stated it's been 24 year folks, we've got to shake it up here and I strongly
encourage your support so that we can appoint some great citizen volunteers to this board. You
ask, why is it important? What good will it do the airport? Commissioner Dawson stated that
this increase will help service on the different Authority committees and it will bring
perspectives from business, from the different areas needed and provide strengths in these areas
that Chairman Kays has shared with her. The commissioners have been looking at the
applications as they come in representing different business strengths, different interests, not all
pilots, but good business people. This is what we are here. You are developing a business park.
Commissioner Dawson stated that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and this
Airport Authority have established and do maintain a very good relationship of working together
as evidenced by the commissioners unanimous approval of ILM's request last month for the
$100,000 letter of commitment to go forward and apply for the grant and unanimous approval of
ILM's request for a loan a couple of months ago for constriction of the rental car facility.
Commissioner Dawson encouraged the board to do the best thing in the best interest of this
community and strongly encouraged consideration and unanimous support of this resolution.
Commissioner Dawson stated that airports in North Carolina that have seven or more board
members include Asheville, Burlington, Piedmont Triad, Charlotte-Douglas, Pitt County,
Onslow County/Jacksonville, Coastal Carolina(New Bern), and Lincoln County and reminded
the Board of their annual report to the Board of Commissioners that ILM is the fourth largest
airport in North Carolina. Commissioner Dawson stated it is time to grow up, increase citizen
participation and that she would certainly appreciate the Authority's approval of the request so
the commissioners will have this for the June 17th meeting and can start making some
appointments. Commissioner Dawson pointed out that the resolution indicates the
commissioners will appoint to fill two positions this year and then two more in the following
New Hanover County Airport Authority
June 5, 2013
Page 10
year for staggered terms. Commissioner Dawson thanked Chairman Kays and turned the floor
back over to him.
Mr. Lennon responded that he respected what Commissioner Dawson said but the one thing he
totally disagrees with is her comment about having diversity on the Airport Authority. Mr.
Lennon stated that he welcomes diversity on the Airport Authority but that is up to the Board of
Commissioners through the appointment process and has nothing to do with anyone who has
ever served on the Authority since they have no power to appoint people to the Airport
Authority. In addition, Mr. Lennon said he doesn't understand the rationale of how expanding
the size of the Airport Authority allows diversity on the board. Chairman Dawson responded
that she said to allow more citizen participation and that her agenda is quite clear, that she wants
to see more business women on all of the boards and commissions across this county. Mr.
Lennon said he totally agrees with that. Chairman Dawson further replied that her point is that
by being able to have four spots to fill in two years, increases the citizen participation, whether it
is men or women.
Mr. Barber stated that the Board should think about the fact that 40% of our Board leaves next
month and that is a lot of knowledge that goes away. Mr. Barber indicated that the board has the
benefit of two gentlemen that have served on this Board before so they have past knowledge but
if you had seven members instead of five, 28% of our board would be turning over when two
people leave and that is a 30%improvement. Mr. Barber encouraged the Board to think about as
things get more complex with air service development and the business park that seeing the
turnover of two out of five people every year could be problematic and worth thinking about.
Chairman Kays pointed out that in eight years he's witnessed three changeovers and that he
came on the board with only six years of aviation experience in the air force decades ago so he
supports increasing the Airport Authority numbers from five to seven.
Chairman Kays called for a motion to consider this resolution and Dr. Roseman asked if it could
be taken into consideration. Chairman Kays said he didn't see any reason to defer it unless there
was an argument in that regard and that this is something that can be resolved one way or
another. Commissioner Dawson said the decision tonight will probably have an impact on the
appointments the commissioners make next week and that knowing ahead of time what they are
going to be working with would help.
Mr. Barber MOVED that the Authority adopt this resolution, SECONDED by Chairman Kays.
UPON VOTE THIS MOTION WAS NOT PASSED. Voting in favor were Chairman Kays and
Mr. Barber and against were Dr. Roseman, Mr. Lambeth and Mr. Lennon.
Chairman Kays initiated discussion about the nominating committee for officers for the next FY
by asking for volunteers. The nominating committee for FY2014 is Mr. Lambeth, Mr. Barber
and Dr. Roseman. Mr. Lambeth agreed to chair the nominating committee.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board, Mr. Barber MOVED, SECONDED
by Mr. Lennon to adjourn. Upon vote, the MOTION WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.
