Presenter(s): Jeffrey Brown, Director Aviation Facilities and Capital Programs; Heather Bornhorst,
Capital Project Manager, Aviation Project Management. 
It was reported that cell phone lot traffic has increased significantly since it was built in 2014,
necessitating better traffic controls, and that Air Cargo Road is in need of repair. Staff explained
that as the work areas overlap, combining these into one project will save time and money. 
Regarding the cell phone lot portion of the project, the Commission asked about electric car
charging stations, restroom facilities, and increased capacity. It was explained that the scope of
this particular project is only to improve ingress and egress.
