Vice-Chairman Hickman called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. Airport Authority members present were: Dan Hickman, Vice-Chairman; Donna Girardot, Secretary; Tom Barber, Harry W. Stovall, W. Lee Williams, and Thomas Wolfe. Also present were Julie Wilsey, Airport Director; Gary Broughton, Deputy Director; Robert Campbell, Finance Director; Whitney Prease, Facilities Director; Carol LeTellier, Business Development Director; Rose Davis, Executive Assistant; and Wanda Copley, New Hanover County Attorney. General Assembly members present were: Senator Bill Rabon; Senator Michael Lee; Representative Frank Iler; Representative Ted Davis; Representative Holly Grange; Representative Deb Butler; and Representative Bob Muller. Guests present included Tim Buckland, reporter for Star-News. WELCOME Vice Chairman Hickman welcomed the legislators on behalf of the Airport Authority and ILM staff and thanked them for their efforts on behalf of the North Carolina airports. Mr. Hickman shared that ILM had 817,000 voters/taxpayers come through ILM in the last year and the Authority and ILM staff appreciate what the legislators have done to make that possible. Mr. Hickman noted that ILM currently has 106 airplanes on the field full time and our economic impact is in the range of $1.6B. Mrs. Girardot, Secretary and Government Committee Chair, thanked the legislators for the bill that was put through for the 72 airports in North Carolina, from which ILM will receive $5.9M for two years, and noted that this money will go a long way towards Phase I of the Terminal Expansion. LEGISLATOR COMMENTS Each of the legislators made comments about the last session; issues that might effect ILM; and their interest and involvement in transportation and the airport funding. Discussions followed, including one on ways to streamline the NCDOT Aviation grant process to facilitate the use of the new funds. It was suggested that staff work with NCDOT Aviation and Secretary Trogdon to find efficiencies in the process. Also, an effort will be made to gather recommendations from several airports on how to streamline grant paperwork for commercial service airports. The suggestions will be sent to the local General Assembly members before the next legislative session and may be presented to the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee. (as revised November 1, 2017) New Hanover County Airport Authority October 18, 2017 Page 2 Mrs. Wilsey offered to send the legislators the NC Aviation Task Force report from April 2016, “Propelling North Carolina’s Economy Through Aviation”, and noted that Appendix D: NC Airports Working Group addressed some of the concerns and would be a good place to start. Vice-Chairman Hickman pointed out that southeastern North Carolina is North Carolina’s multimodal center and we have it all here in Wilmington from I-40 and Hwy. 74-76, to Rail and Port and finally ILM. Vice-Chairman Hickman thanked the legislators again for coming and closed the meeting at 9:50 am. Prepared by: Respectfully Submitted: Rose M. Davis _______________________________ Donna Girardot, Secretary Date of Approval: November 1, 2017 .

  • Progress Report to Highlight the Issues (I.E
    ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK FOR CLEAN ENERGY? Representatives Dean Arp, John Szoka, and Sam Watford introduced House Bill 589, “Competitive Energy Solutions for North Carolina” during the 2017 session. This bill took small steps towards increasing the role solar plays in the state’s energy mix by creating a competitive bidding process and by expanding rooftop solar. Senator Harry Brown added a moratorium on wind energy projects, claiming NC’s military operations would be under threat by wind turbines. Senator Brown used the once bipartisan supported clean energy bill as an attempt to pit solar against wind. Governor Cooper refused to allow Brown to claim victory: after signing H589 into law, Cooper immediately issued an executive order to the Dept. of Environmental Quality asking for the expedition of wind project permits. No 18-month ban will stop this clean energy source from moving forward. WATER, AIR, AND HEALTH Legislators continued to put the water, air, and health of North Carolinians at risk throughout the 2017 legislative long session. State lawmakers approved a bill that would allow companies to spray “garbage juice” into our air; passed a policy that limits the amount of financial compensation a resident or property owner can receive for detrimental health and livelihood impacts in hog pollution or other nuisance cases; and thumbed their noses at local control over environmental safeguards by prohibiting state regulators from making stricter water quality rules than the federal standards (assuming those even exist). Overall, leaders of the General Assembly showed a lack of empathy for their constituents and clear preference for polluters with deep pockets in 2017.

    NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE LEGISLATIVE BUILDING 16 W. Jones Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27601-1030 March 5, 2020 Jamille Robbins NC Department of Transportation– Environmental Analysis Unit 1598 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1598 Submitted via email: [email protected] Re: Modernization of outdoor advertising rules 19A NCAC 02E .0225 To the NC Department of Transportation, We are North Carolina legislators who care about the scenic beauty of our state and We are writing to oppose the proposed changes to the modernization of outdoor advertising rules (19A NCAC 02E .0225) that would limit local ordinances and allow billboards with a state permit to be converted to digital and raised to 50 feet in height, even if such changes are not allowed by the applicable city or county ordinance. Instead, we support the considered “Alternative 2” described in the agency’s March 1, 2019, fiscal note. Alternative 2 would recognize local government ordinances and limit the changes that could be made to an existing billboard as part of modernization. Alternative 2 as described in the fiscal note: “The second alternate is to further limit activities that industry could do as part of modernization. An example includes restricting companies to modernize from static to digital faces. Some local governments have more stringent rules associated with outdoor advertising regulations including moratoriums on allowing digital billboards. NCDOT considered excluding digital faces as part of modernization. NCDOT chose not to make this exclusion since the state already allows digital billboards and that industry should be allowed to accommodate for technology enhancements.” We wish to protect the ability of local communities to control billboards, especially taller, digitized billboards that impact the scenic beauty of North Carolina and can be a distraction to drivers.

  • Letter of Support from 39 NC Representatives
    NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE LEGISLATIVE BUILDING RALEIGH 27601-1096 May 20, 2021 The Honorable Governor Roy Cooper North Carolina Office of the Governor 20301 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-0301 Re: Support for Adoption of Rules to Reduce Carbon Pollution from the Energy Sector and to Join Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative Dear Governor Cooper, We commend you for your leadership in confronting the threats that climate change poses to our State. By bringing North Carolina into the U.S. Climate Alliance and issuing Executive Order No. 80 (EO80), your administration has established science-based carbon pollution reduction and clean energy goals which are critical to ensuring that we in North Carolina do our part to help avert the worst impacts of climate change. We endorse the goals of the North Carolina Clean Energy Plan (CEP) to achieve a 70% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from 2005 levels by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Recommendation A-1 of the CEP resulted in a stakeholder process that identified options to achieve these carbon reduction goals. Of the options examined, joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) was identified as one of the most cost-effective pathways for North Carolina to swiftly and meaningfully reduce power sector carbon pollution. We write to urge your administration to continue the common-sense approach to reducing greenhouse gas pollution that you launched with Executive Order 80 by establishing enforceable limits on power sector carbon pollution and joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). Achieving the Clean Energy Plan’s 2030 target requires swift action.

  • Ted Davis Jr., a Descendent of One of New Hanover's Wealthiest Families
    Rep. Ted Davis, Jr. (R-New Hanover) House District 19 “All I know is that we’re doing something” –Rep. Ted Davis, in response to the Senate’s unwillingness to take up his GenX bill. (WRAL, 1/10/18) Ted Davis Jr., a descendent of one of New Hanover’s wealthiest families, followed an uneventful legal career with an unremarkable tenure as county commissioner. Davis switched affiliation to Republican for political expedi ence in order to run for public office. He was elected to the legislature in 2012 and has largely been a cog in the Raleigh political machine. As such, he failed to deliver anything of note for the Wilmington area, like the return of meaningful film incentives. Davis’ s time in the state House is probably most exemplified by his tenure as Chair of the House Select Committee on River Quality set up to “res pond” to the GenX crisis. In a role meant to give Davis a chance to shine , he has so far doled out taxpayer money to political cronies of Republican leadership and allowed a trade association lobbyist for Chemours , the company responsible for dumping GenX in our drinking water, to write three budget provisions that let the polluter off the hook. Rep. Ted Davis, Jr. Meanwhile Cape Fear Public Utility Authority customers are seeing their bills go up to pay for GenX cleanup and taxpayers are stuck with the bill for more “study” of the problem. Davis ’s inept handling of GenX is just the latest example of his failure to provide meaningful service to the people of his district as he plays follow- the- leader in Raleigh.
