IX. ITEMS FOR BOARD INFORMATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION

A. #16(01)-02 Discussion and Possible Action on a Salary Adjustment for Fiscal Year 2014/2015 for President/CEO Marily Mora Meeting of the Board of Trustees January 14, 2016 Brief of Minutes Page 3 of 9

Chair Wirth referenced his notes for the January 5th Compensation Committee, and the 2013 ADK recruitment brochure from when current President/CEO Marily Mora was hired, both of which were provided as information to all Trustees. He stated that the ADK recruitment brochure validates the base compensation package and that the recent ADK salary comparison report further affirms that it was appropriate. Chair Wirth indicated that he sought and has not heard any deficiencies on the CEO’s performance of the stated objectives. He opened the floor for comments from Trustees.

Trustee Mayberry indicated that he feels the CEO’s ethics and professionalism is beyond reproach. He stated that after much reflection, he cannot support the recommendation. While fundamentally he is not opposed to an increase in salary, his trepidation was doing it in conjunction with the 20% bonus awarded, which he supported at the December 2015 Board meeting. Trustee Mayberry said that in going forward, he’d prefer that the Board find a more modest approach within the confines of the CEO’s employment contract, as opposed to awarding a 20% bonus and a salary increase. This coming December, his expectations are that the Board will once again be discussing a 20% bonus for the CEO for the third time, and a likely salary increase. It was Trustee Mayberry’s view that continuing to go down this path annually is excessive for a public agency CEO. He agreed wholeheartedly that the Airport CEO’s compensation should be compared to peers at other Airports, and not to City or County Managers, or local governing agencies, or to the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA) CEO. He stated that if it is the RTAA CEO’s salary range that the Board wants to focus on and build on, he will be willing to support that, but that the bonus potential must be reduced. Modest change in the CEO’s overall compensation will still provide for the excellence that the Board seeks. His decision was not about the CEO’s excellent performance, but about finding a balance and a more modest approach with which the CEO can be compensated and rewarded for her performance. Trustee Mayberry indicated that if today a majority of Board members support future discussions on finding a more modest path to reward the CEO going forward, as well as a reduction in the proposed 5% salary increase, he could probably support such a recommendation.

Trustee Rose said that as she stated during the vote on the CEO bonus, Ms. Mora and her team do a fantastic job, and as a result we have a great Airport. With that said, she asserted that bonuses are performance based – if you perform at an exceptional level you should get an exceptional addition to your competitive salary. Trustee Rose also stated that you have to have a competitive salary, bonus and benefits package to retain a great CEO. She said the challenge she is having is that the analysis provided did not compare packages, it only compared salaries, and therefore is not a true comparison of all the information. If the CEO of another airport has a salary of $15,000 more than our CEO, but their maximum bonus potential is $15,000 or $20,000, our CEO will still have the ability to earn more money annually, making the potential bonus and other benefits an important part of that competitive comparison. Trustee Rose expressed concern that the analysis did not take geographical location into consideration. She said she understands that Ms. Mora and her team has done a fantastic job and that 100% of the goals were accomplished, however compensation for that was done in awarding the maximum bonus, which Trustee Rose fully supported. When taking salary, bonus, PERS, car allowance, and geographical location into consideration, she was not convinced that a 5% raise is necessary to remain competitive. Trustee Rose said that as a result, she will not support a full 5% raise.

Meeting of the Board of Trustees January 14, 2016 Brief of Minutes Page 4 of 9

Chair Wirth said that Trustee Rose’s comments were reflected on and discussed at the Compensation Committee and that it is important to note they were taken into account. He suggested that the discussion point relates more to the Boards that preceded the current Board, and that is why the ADK recruitment brochure was provided for the current Trustees’ reference. Those items of base compensation could have and should have been reviewed and confirmed contractually three years ago. Chair Wirth stated he recognizes and appreciates what Trustee Rose is saying, but felt those elements are more appropriately discussed upon renewal of an employment agreement. It will be incumbent on this Board to discuss that as a future item when it comes time to renew the agreement. With regard to those other elements, it would take a great deal of time and at a significant cost for an agency to provide a thorough objective analysis.

Trustee Eck indicated he is in favor of the 5% increase. A list of goals was given to the CEO and she completed them all. When Ms. Mora was hired, she hit the ground running and deserves the increase that is being discussed.

Trustee Sferrazza said she agrees with a lot of what Trustee Mayberry and Rose have said, in the sense that it is important to compare all the information, to take into consideration geographical location, and to consider the fact that PERS is paid at this level. With that being said, Trustee Sferrazza stated the CEO has done a great job and therefore she will support the 5% raise. Trustee Sferrazza said that her issue was with the bonus, and that it was excessive. She said she believes that the employees and the CEO are what make an organization great. In looking at what other high performing RTAA employees got, they got 5%. In comparison to other airports, no one in the community will disagree that this Airport is top-notch; it is clean, the staff are friendly from the custodial staff all the way up the CEO, and the staff is incredible. Trustee Sferrazza said her concern is with what Trustee Mayberry pointed out, and that a 20% bonus on top of a 5% salary increase is too high. Moving forward, adjustments need to be made to the bonus structure so that the increases do not compound one another, resulting in moving outside the salary range for the CEO of the Authority.

Chair Wirth indicated that addressing these points and further vetting them will be a future action item for the Compensation Committee.

Trustee Hall added his concerns about the bonus and salary increase amounts, and the missing elements of the salary comparisons. Of the 28 comparables included in the matrix reported by ADK, Trustee Hall said about 7 or 8 of them are closest in number to RNO enplanements, and are the ones he would like to have additional information provided. He reiterated the importance of looking at the other variables included in a salary package because they affect how the salary range is set. Of particular importance is the PERS benefit. In regard to the recent ADK report, Trustee Hall looked at the competitive market salary range, and the median in that range is $264,000. With a 5% increase, it will bring the CEO’s salary to $240,000, which is below the median provided in the report. In looking back to the advertised starting salary range, it was $210K to $235K. There was general agreement among the Board at that time, that at some point there would need to be adjustments made. Trustee Hall stated he is in support of the salary increase as presented, but he wanted to remind the Board that the language in the employment contract is very clear. The bonus is at the sole discretion of the Board, and even with the fact that weights have been set per goal, it remains at the discretion of the Board. Meeting of the Board of Trustees January 14, 2016 Brief of Minutes Page 5 of 9

Trustee Sferrazza asked General Counsel to confirm whether or not it is at the discretion of the Board. Ann Morgan, General Counsel, stated that the bonus amount is at the discretion of the Board and the Board has exercised that discretion by setting weights to the goals.

Chair Wirth stated that in 2014, there was a great deal of in depth discussion about those weights. The goal was to put forth objectivity that was tied to the strategic plan and mission of the organization, so that the Board’s discretion could be exercised in a professional and objective fashion.

Trustee Hall said the reason he raised that point was to remind the Trustees that the percentage and the way it is weighted can be changed by the Board, perhaps not in this fiscal year, but going forward. Trustee Hall stated there are other dimensions, beyond the goals and objectives that have been set, that need to be considered, i.e. responsiveness, satisfaction of staff, and the general satisfaction with the performance of the CEO beyond those objectives. In Trustee Hall’s view, those other dimensions are critical to evaluating the overall performance of the CEO of this organization. If focus is placed solely on the objectives that have been set and approved by the Board, then the Trustees need to task themselves with a more stringent review and approach. If there is a lack of satisfaction with other things that are going on in the organization, there needs to be a way to express that.

Trustee Gianoli related to the concerns and thoughts shared by the other Trustees. She said what brought her to her decision was the additional data received, the ADK report, the discussion of the original recruitment, and Ms. Mora’s outstanding performance. She stated the discussion about what adjustments might be made in the future will make for a better process.

Trustee Murdock stated he appreciates everyone’s perspective. When he considered the CEO’s performance and the Airport’s performance as a team, he looked at how big of an impact and how important it is in terms of what the Airport does for this region. It is not just flights and seats on airplanes; it is job creation and economic impact well beyond tourism. It is important to recognize that the Airport is different than any business or quasi municipal agency in the State, and Trustee Murdock said that to play in this arena, you’ve got to have big thinkers and big doers, and the Airport team has done that. He said that he is in favor of the 5% increase, but going through the discussion process has been well worth it.

Chair Wirth indicated he will be voting in favor of this item. He said he cannot express anymore sincerely or with more genuine thought the concept of diversity of perspectives; it is what makes a healthier and stronger organization. He also acknowledged that the discussion has been difficult, public, and challenging. Since his involvement on the Compensation Committee, he has heard no deficiencies in performance or any areas that need improvement. He asserted the Board should recognize that there is an achieved objective, and that is to have hired a high performing CEO. From working with CEO’s of several other airports, Chair Wirth said in his perspective, Ms. Mora’s performance is among the highest. It will be his intent in the Compensation Committee, to move into an objective, transparent, and professional review of the variables that have come into question, as well as the process. He also stated that in the end, the Committee may find that when looking at total compensation packages of other airports, our CEO may be underpaid. Meeting of the Board of Trustees January 14, 2016 Brief of Minutes Page 6 of 9

On motion by Trustee Gianoli, seconded by Trustee Murdock, which motion was duly carried by 6 ayes and 2 opposed votes, the Board approved Agenda Item #16(01)-02 as follows:

Approved a salary increase of 5% in the amount of $11,440.00 for President/CEO Marily Mora for Fiscal Year 2014/2015.

Ms. Mora thanked the Board and said that this is about the performance of the organization, and it is about the team. Fiscal year 2014-2015 was a break out year, including everything from the financial results, the operational results and FAA inspection, the addition of two new airlines, and the reestablishment of international air service. She acknowledged the phenomenal job of the team. After this vote today, Ms. Mora stated she plans on going back individually to each Trustee, because there is always room for improvement, and she wants to seek the Trustee’s ideas to maintain a high performing organization.

X. ITEMS FOR BOARD INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION

A. Presentations 1. Ms. Mora introduced Mark Cameron, Manager of Landside Operations, to give an update on the status of Transportation Network Companies (TNC) at the Airport. Mr. Cameron stated he would be providing a brief presentation about the Airport’s efforts to get the TNCs up and fully operational.

He began by orienting the Trustees to where the Ground Transportation (GT) pick-up area is located at the north end of the terminal. Inside the fenced area is where all permitted GT operators pick up customers and the fence line establishes a TSA 300’ perimeter. Inside this gated and secured area, GT operators are not allowed to leave their vehicles unattended. He explained where each type of GT operator queues up to wait for fares. Each permit holder utilizes a transponder attached to the windshield of every fleet vehicle and has an individualized number and electronic symbol that is read at entry and exit. This tracks operators so that the Airport can charge the appropriate pick up fees. Mr. Cameron pointed out the new Area D assigned to the TNCs and where drivers for Uber and Lyft will pick up their customers.

The Airport began discussions with the TNCs in September 2015 and the goal was twofold. The first was to get the TNCs operating at the Airport as quickly as possible by integrating them into the existing GT operation. Second, was to satisfy the Airport’s obligations under grant assurances to treat the TNCs equitably with regard to how existing GT operators are allowed to operate. To that end, a number of meetings with the TNCs were held and the Airport offered them the existing GT permit which includes the use of the transponders. State of Nevada permits were granted to Uber and Lyft on September 14th. At that time, while the permit process to pick up fares was not finalized, Uber and Lyft were allowed to drop customers off at no cost, which is the same for all GT operators.

The Airport encouraged the TNCs to utilize the transponders to begin customer pickups immediately. The TNCs were reluctant to utilize the transponders as it does not fit into their business model. As a result, staff began discussing possible alternatives on how to facilitate some other process for the TNCs without the use of transponders. Staff proposed an Meeting of the Board of Trustees January 14, 2016 Brief of Minutes Page 7 of 9

alternative plan using a pick up location outside the secure area. The proposed plan was to implement a tracking and audit option using geofencing technology as an add on to the current taxi dispatch system provider, Gatekeeper Systems. Geofencing is a practice of tracking drivers within a specific geographic boundary using global positioning systems (GPS) technology, and by creating a virtual boundary around the entire Airport property using a GPS application on the drivers’ phones. Both Uber and Lyft agreed to the geofencing alternative with the use the Gatekeeper system and the outer pickup location.

Mr. Cameron said the next steps to get Uber and Lyft operating at the Airport are finalizing the TNC specific GT permit, modifying the existing dispatch system, establishing the geofencing perimeter for operation tracking and auditing, setting up wayfinding signage for drivers and passengers, briefing Security and Landside Operations staff on the new processes, and kicking off the operation. In closing, Mr. Cameron stated that the Airport is looking forward to Uber and Lyft being fully operational by the 2nd weekend in February, if not sooner.

Ms. Mora stated the Airport is excited to be offering this as a customer amenity.

Chair Wirth referenced Uber’s market capitalization as one expression of their success, which is in excess of $65B. He mentioned the ride share program called Uber Pool which is a cost and time effective method of transit, and hopes that Uber Pool will eventually be deployed in this area. It has been in beta testing in the Bay area for the better part of a year and has been successful. It will benefit the catchment area should Uber decide to deploy Pool, and he asked Mr. Cameron for his opinion on that possibility. Mr. Cameron indicated there has been no mention of Pool being used in Reno at this time.

Trustee Mayberry asked if the airports in Sacramento and Los Angeles are utilizing TNCs. Mr. Cameron responded yes and that is utilizing the same technology that RNO will be using. Trustee Mayberry said that one of the most frequently asked questions has been when Uber and Lyft would be coming, and therefore it may be advantageous to do a public relations kick off. Trustee Sferrazza concurred with Trustee Mayberry that a roll out will be important. Ms. Mora stated there will be a kickoff event.

B. Board Meeting Schedule Chair Wirth referred to the schedule of upcoming meetings. He mentioned the Boyd Aviation Forecast Summit and suggested that Trustees place that on their calendars.

1. February 9, 2016 9:00 am Finance & Business Development Committee Meeting 2. February 9, 2016 10:00 am Planning & Construction Committee Meeting 3.

C. President/CEO’s Report Ms. Mora referred the Trustees to the written President/CEO Report included in their Board binders. Meeting of the Board of Trustees January 14, 2016 Brief of Minutes Page 8 of 9

She highlighted the dates of the Boyd Aviation Forecast Summit that is scheduled to start on September 18th at Squaw Valley, which is the last day of the National Championship Air Races. The site visit occurred on January 4th and 5th at Squaw Valley. It will be a wonderful opportunity to showcase everything that is going on economically in this community and region to numerous airlines CEOs and their leadership teams. There will also be a stellar opportunity to hold a host dinner on the evening of September 18th up at High Camp at Squaw Valley. All Trustees will be invited to the dinner and have the opportunity to meet these CEOs and tell them about what’s going on in our community.

Ms. Mora shared how upbeat staff is about the future at Reno-Stead Airport with UAS and the NUANCE lab that is under fast-paced construction and should be finished by the end of February. There will be a grand opening event when the NASA logo goes up on the Stead terminal building. It has taken awhile to realize the potential for UAS at Stead but this initiative is really bringing it home.

Chair Wirth added that a request has been made to Mike Boyd to be a presenter for “Air Service 301” series of presentations. Mr. Boyd is outspoken and one of the most quoted individuals in global commercial air service on virtually every aspect of manufacturing, commercial air service, and what’s going on with their market cap, etc. It will be very important to showcase the region, toward supplemental air service and the relationships that will start at this conference. Ms. Mora added that Mr. Boyd was very taken with the Paws 4 Passengers during the welcome that was conducted when Mike and Marion Boyd arrived at the Airport.

D. General Board Comments, Questions, and Items for Future Board Meetings Chair Wirth asked each Trustee for any comments, questions, or items for future Board meetings that they may have.

Trustee Sferrazza asked that an update be provided to the Trustees regarding the investigation of Customs and Board Protection (CBP), either by adding it to the Board agenda for the next meeting, or in a closed session.

Several Trustees expressed their appreciation of Ms. Mora and the Airport team, and thanked Chair Wirth for facilitating the CEO’s performance evaluation process. Trustee Eck congratulated the entire team on landing the Boyd Conference.

There were no further comments.

XI. PUBLIC COMMENT Naomi Duerr, City of Reno Councilwoman and Alternate Liaison to the RTAA, gave comment on several items related to traveling through this and other airports, including the availability and convenience of TSA Pre-check at RNO, the absence of female TSA Agents to do pat downs at RNO, her experience at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport regarding availability of curbside check-in and passenger ability to leave their vehicles at curbside to check-in, and the availability, or lack thereof, of activities for passengers to engage in when weather delays increase the time spent waiting at the Airport.

Meeting of the Board of Trustees January 14, 2016 Brief of Minutes Page 9 of 9

Ms. Duerr mentioned the City of Reno’s sustainability initiatives and their newly hired Manager of Sustainability Programs, Lynn Barker. She suggested that a partnership be formed between the City and the Airport. Ms. Mora responded that Ms. Barker has reached out to the RTAA and a meeting is set.

Chair Wirth asked if curbside check in is a decision made by each air carrier. Ms. Mora stated yes it is the airlines’ decision whether to provide these services or not.

XII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:47 am.

Board Memorandum Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority

Date: February 3, 2016 Memo: # 16(02)-03 To: Chairman & Board Members For: February 11, 2016 Board Meeting From: Marily M. Mora, A.A.E., President/CEO Subject: AUTHORIZATION FOR THE PRESIDENT/CEO TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH BOYD GROUP INTERNATIONAL, INC. TO HOST THE 21ST ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL AVIATION FORECAST SUMMIT ON SEPTEMBER 18-21, 2016, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $275,000

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board authorize the President/CEO to execute an agreement with Boyd Group International, Inc. to host the 21st Annual International Aviation Forecast Summit on September 18-21, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $275,000.

PURPOSE This action requests authorization for the President/CEO to execute an agreement to host the 21st Annual International Aviation Forecast Summit (the Summit). This action is in support of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) Strategic Priority #1 – Increase Air Service, as adopted in the RTAA Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-2018 Comprehensive Strategic Plan. The Airport Authority strategic plan also incorporates long-term goals to “maintain scheduled airline service and strengthen relationships with existing air carriers,” as well as to “pursue new or expanded air service opportunities resulting in a net gain in air service.” The Summit offers the opportunity for both.

BACKGROUND Over the last two decades, the Boyd Group International Aviation Forecast Summit has evolved into the industry’s most prestigious and insightful air service event. Boyd Group International brings together the world’s most influential and respected airline and airport professionals, and provides attendees with an invaluable amount of knowledge and perspective on the airline industry. For the airport and host cities, the Summit, with approximately 450-500 attendees, delivers unparalleled exposure to airline decision-makers from around the globe, as well as major players in the industry, from financial institutions, to manufacturers and suppliers. Typically, there are between 80-100 airline representatives from over 30 airlines worldwide. In addition, aviation professionals from over 20 nations attend the Summit.

DISCUSSION As previously mentioned, hosting the Summit is in direct support of the Airport Authority’s Strategic Plan. Unlike most aviation conferences, this particular conference is specifically focused on air service planning and will provide staff and regional partners an invaluable opportunity to not only interact with but also influence airline decision-makers, while simultaneously showcasing the spectacular Reno-Tahoe region.

Face-to-face opportunities for staff to talk directly with high-ranking executives from incumbent and potential new airlines are extremely difficult and nearly impossible to obtain. Many of these airline executives have never visited the Reno-Tahoe region and have misperceptions about what we have to offer. Now is the ideal time to showcase our vibrant and diverse region, and our Boyd Group Agreement – 2016 21st International Aviation Forecast Summit # 16(02)-03 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 2 of 3

exciting economic growth. The RTAA will have the opportunity to change impressions and potentially influence future air service decisions that could have great financial impact on our local community. Coupled with current air service initiatives, hosting the Summit provides the Airport Authority and the Reno-Tahoe region an opportunity to maintain our recent air service wins and garner new ones that will set the stage for continued regional growth.

The conference host will have a variety of opportunities to host social networking events, including a private VIP dinner for airline CEOs and other key airline decision-makers. This one- on-one interaction with airline CEOs provides a rare opportunity for the Airport Authority and our community partners to showcase and tout what the region has to offer in terms of tourism, business, and regional partnerships.

For the past two consecutive years, the Summit has been held in Las Vegas. The RTAA was pleased to be a finalist alongside the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and the Sacramento County Department of Airports. The ultimate decision to bring the Summit to the Reno-Tahoe area was the fact that we could offer a unique experience.

Boyd Group International was particularly interested in holding this conference in the mountains and specifically at Lake Tahoe. Strategically, the Airport Authority recognized that their Lake Tahoe preference required us to compete primarily with Sacramento. Because of this, the Airport Authority teamed up with Squaw Valley Ski Holdings and the Resort at Squaw Creek to offer attendees a “gold medal experience.” Both properties will share venue responsibilities and offer the wonderful hospitality for which our region is known.

In order to ensure that our local community has the opportunity to showcase itself, the Airport Authority has committed to coordinating a pre-conference package to include the National Championship Air Races. Between the pre-conference packages and the post-conference need to have blocks of rooms available for those departing Reno on early morning flights, the Reno- Sparks hotel properties will be involved in hosting CEOs and providing accommodations for some of the conference attendees.

COMPANY BACKGROUND Boyd Group International, Inc. is based out of Evergreen, Colorado. Since being founded in 1984, Boyd Group International (BGI) has been at the forefront of aviation thought-leadership. Their insight and perspectives on aviation issues draw clients from a broad spectrum of the aviation world. BGI’s clients have included airlines, aircraft manufacturers, airports, and financial institutions. Their goal is to assist entities throughout the aviation industry in providing excellence and innovation in consulting, research, forecasting, and strategic futuristic planning. Their annual International Aviation Forecast Summit is considered the only event of its kind.

FISCAL IMPACT If approved, the agreement includes an honorarium in the amount of $100,000. This non- negotiable fee, to host the conference, is paid directly to BGI. With the Board’s review of the mid-year budget, $75,000 of the total $100,000 will be paid for from the current fiscal year 2015-2016 Air Service Development Operating and Maintenance budget, utilizing funds realized from personnel savings. An additional $25,000 would be paid from this same funding source and used to cover site visits and other expenses incurred in the current fiscal year.

Boyd Group Agreement – 2016 21st International Aviation Forecast Summit # 16(02)-03 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 3 of 3

The remaining $175,000 would be budgeted and realized in fiscal year 2016-2017, and would be utilized for the final conference fee and additional costs associated with hosting the conference, such as event production, transportation, protocol gifts, conference promotion, signage, and more. Staff will work with regional partners to secure sponsorships and in-kind services to offset some of these costs.

If sponsorships are not secured, the maximum financial risk to the Airport Authority would be $275,000.

COMMITTEE COORDINATION This item is scheduled to be presented at the February 9, 2016 Finance & Business Development Committee meeting.

RECOMMENDATION It is hereby recommended that the Board adopt the following motion:

“It is hereby moved that the Board authorizes the President/CEO to execute an agreement with Boyd Group International, Inc., to host the 21st Annual International Aviation Forecast Summit on September 18-21, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $275,000, and authorizes the President/CEO or her designee to sign.”

Board Memorandum Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority

Date: February 3, 2016 Memo: # 16(02)-04 To: Chairman & Board Members For: February 11, 2016 Board Meeting From: Marily Mora, A.A.E., President/CEO Subject: AUTHORIZATION FOR THE PRESIDENT/CEO TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH DERMODY PROPERTIES AND HILLWOOD INVESTMENT PROPERTIES TO SERVE AS THE EXCLUSIVE MASTER REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER AT THE RENO- STEAD AIRPORT AND NEGOTIATE FINAL TERMS, AND EXECUTE (1) AN EXCLUSIVE MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AND (2) A 50- YEAR PHASE 1 GROUND LEASE WITH DERMODY PROPERTIES AND HILLWOOD INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of Trustees (Board) authorize the President/CEO to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dermody Properties and Hillwood Investment Properties (DPHW) to serve as the exclusive master real estate developer at the Reno-Stead Airport (RTS) and negotiate final terms, and execute (1) an exclusive master development agreement, and (2) a 50-year Phase 1 ground lease with DPHW.

PURPOSE This action is in support of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) Strategic Priority # 2 - Optimize General Aviation Operations and Service and Priority # 4 – Facilitate Economic Development at Both Airports, and the Guiding Principle of Financial Integrity, as adopted in the RTAA Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-2018 Comprehensive Strategic Plan. This action supports the financial growth of the RTAA as a self-sustaining entity by maximizing non-airline revenue.

BACKGROUND In an effort to improve utilization of vacant land at RTS and attract aeronautical and non- aeronautical companies, staff issued a Request For Qualifications (RFQ) for a 3,500 acre development partner in March 2014. The RFQ process is in support of Resolution No. 504 setting forth policy adopted by the Board in May 2011. As a matter of policy, the RTAA recognizes the economic value of development at RTS. The RTAA will continue to support the National Championship Air Races as long as it is compatible with operational and economic goals of the RTAA.

The March 2014 RFQ solicitation was published on the RTAA’s website and the legal advertisement was published in the Reno Gazette-Journal. Additionally, the RFQ was advertised on National Site Selector websites, and through the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN), local Broker networks, and development firms.

On March 18, 2014, the RTAA hosted a mandatory pre-submittal meeting at the Reno-Stead Freedom Flight Terminal Community Room. Staff presented an overview of the RFQ and Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 2 of 11

prospective respondents were encouraged to ask questions, which would be answered through an Addendum to all attendees. Approximately 20 different companies attended the meeting, including several engineering/planning firms representing undisclosed developers or general contractors that could partner into a development team. An Addendum was provided to all attendees and published on the RTAA’s website on March 25, 2014.

On April 17, 2014, the RTAA received three responses to the RTS Development Opportunity RFQ: 1) American Airports Corporation (AAC) 2) Dermody Properties (DP) 3) Unique Infrastructure Group/Lewis Group of Companies (UIG)

Prior to receipt of the Qualifications, a Selection Committee comprised of the CEO’s Land Development Working Group FY 2013-14 (LDWG/SC), which members included Trustees Carasali, Mayberry, Arger, and Larkin, and President/CEO Marily Mora and RTAA staff was established. Copies of the submitted responses and evaluation criteria worksheets were provided to each member of the LDWG/SC. The LDWG/SC reviewed the responses, and a meeting was held on May 2, 2014 to discuss the Qualification packages and identify preferred Responders to be invited to participate in Phase 2, a 120-day due diligence period.

Based on submitted responses and criteria scoring, two Respondents, (1) Dermody Properties and (2) UIG/Lewis Group of Companies, were short-listed by the LDWG/SC. Staff conducted shortlist interviews of the two Respondents on May 9, 2014. The purpose of the interview was to discuss the Respondent’s vision for development of RTS.

Based on research and experience in the Reno-Sparks region, as well as national experience, Dermody Properties explained that they believe the RTS will become one of the premier economic development opportunities in northern Nevada. They envisioned the property developing as a high-tech business park with a mix of aeronautical and non-aeronautical tenants that coexist with Airport operations. As a national developer with Reno headquarters and local expertise, the Dermody Properties team emphasized the importance of working with existing tenants such as Reno Air Race Association (RARA), Aviation Classics, Nevada Army National Guard, and the Bureau of Land Management, as well as the 100+ existing GA tenants based at RTS.

Following the May 9, 2014 interviews, the LDWG/SC conducted additional financial and reference checks on both Responders. Each Responder was notified in writing of the process and asked to provide additional information to assist with the reference checks. Following a complete investigation of each Responder’s financial condition and capabilities, the LDWG/SC selected Dermody Properties to participate in Phase 2, Due Diligence.

On July 23, 2014 a mandatory 30-day due diligence meeting was held with Dermody Properties representatives and the LDWG/SC, which was reorganized in FY 2014-15 with Trustee Wirth replacing Trustee Mayberry. The intent of the meeting was for Dermody Properties to provide a status update on the due diligence scope and schedule. Dermody Properties clearly demonstrated a strong due diligence program that would initially focus primarily on land constraints. At this meeting, Dermody Properties was advised by staff to not represent themselves to perspective Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 3 of 11

tenants as the RTAA’s development partner until recognition by the full Board of Trustees. Staff believed that although this approach modified the due diligence scope outlined in the RFQ, it would ensure control of existing relationships with perspective tenants. Additionally, this approach provided security if Dermody Properties determined the project was not viable, by limiting interaction with perspective tenants that could be persuaded to develop at other Dermody Properties’ projects.

Dermody Properties was advised that at the end of the land due diligence period, if they were still interested in the opportunity, in accordance with the RFQ, Dermody Properties would be invited to present findings to the LDWG/SC, which would possibly be followed by a recommendation to the CEO to authorize them to represent the RTAA. This authorization would allow Dermody Properties to complete RFQ Phase 2 - Marketing and Financial Due Diligence and RFQ Phase 3 - Development Proposal. Following completion of the RFQ Phase 2 and Phase 3, the LDWG/SC would again review the findings and proposed business terms with a possible subsequent recommendation to the CEO, who could then make a recommendation to the full Board of Trustees at a future Board meeting. Dermody Properties understood the modified process and agreed to proceed with due diligence focused on the land constraints.

Dermody Properties completed the 120-day due diligence period in October 2014 and submitted a Due Diligence Report outlining land development constraints and opportunities. On January 8, 2015, the LDWG/SC convened to provide Dermody Properties an opportunity to present land due diligence findings to date, answer questions, and review proposed efforts and requirements to complete the RFQ process.

After the LDWG/SC meeting on January 8, 2015, there was discussion with the CEO that this item should be brought to the full Board of Trustees to authorize Dermody Properties to represent the RTAA in order to complete Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Reno-Stead Airport RFQ.

At the February 2015 Board meeting, the Board authorized Dermody Properties to represent the RTAA, allowing them to complete Phase 2 Due Diligence and Phase 3 Development Plan focused on approximately 1,700 acres not impacted by the current Reno Air Race safety corridors (refer to Exhibit A – Current Concept Plan). This authorization would allow Dermody Property to (1) actively market the property through brochures, site tours, prospective tenant meetings, and national recognition through conference attendance; (2) identify and pursue additional financial resources including debt and equity, such as investment partner Hillwood Investment Properties, for all or various parts of the development; (3) refine the project concept plans based on interest expressed by potential tenants/businesses and/or through internal and/or third party market research; and (4) obtain proposals for preliminary engineering and surveying related to development of the property.

Following the February 2015 Board meeting, Dermody Properties confirmed selection of Hillwood Investment Properties as their equity development partner. In addition to financial capacity, Hillwood Investment Properties brings a wealth of experience in Class “A” airport business park development.

On June 5, 2015, the RTAA sent Dermody Properties and Hillwood Properties, (DPHW) a letter confirming, pursuant to the RFQ, the February 23, 2015 RTAA authorization for DPHW to Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 4 of 11

represent the RTAA and actively market the property, refine project concept plans, obtain a proposal for preliminary engineering, and identify and pursue investment partners for the development. The June 5th letter also advised that the RTAA was awaiting deliverables as outlined in the RFQ. DPHW was advised that the outstanding items were to be received within 90 days and until the deliverables were received and approved by the Board, no steps should be taken with respect to easements, railroad crossings, or permits.

On August 17, 2015, DPHW discussed and delivered a conceptual plan to the RTAA, including a draft development proposal. DPHW was advised that the draft development proposal was deficient of items #6 – Preliminary financial analysis and revenue forecasts, and #7 – Proposed long term and short term agreement structure and business terms, requested in the June 5th letter. DPHW acknowledged the deficiency and promised to deliver items #6 and #7 on or before September 4, 2015.

On August 18, 2015, the RTAA, DPHW, and other DPHW consultants met to identify action items to complete the RFQ submittal requirements and DPHW delivered to the RTAA a comprehensive draft "Report and Business Terms for Reno-Stead Airport" dated July 24, 2015.

• As proposed by DPHW, RTS would be developed in five (5) phases, Phase I-V, ranging from approximately 1,700 - 3,000 acres (refer to attached Exhibit A and B).

• DPHW will also seek public and private financing for the construction of all backbone infrastructure necessary for each phase in order to develop and lease properties to users. If DPHW does not make application within six (6) months and/or receive funding for all infrastructure necessary for facility development within two (2) years of execution, the Master Development Agreement and Phase I Ground Lease shall terminate. During the two year period, DPHW may use private equity to expedite the development process while waiting for funding.

On September 21, 2015, DPHW presented a draft financial model to the RTAA for its review.

On October 2, 2015, DPHW advised the RTAA that DPHW would not be prepared to present a revised financial model that reflected the RTAA’s and Hillwood’s comments or deliver proposed business terms at the scheduled October 5th meeting. Subsequently, the RTAA cancelled this meeting to allow DPHW additional time to revise the financial model based on previous feedback.

On October 29, 2015, DPHW resubmitted the "Report and Business Terms for Reno-Stead Airport" dated July 24, 2015 with refined financial business terms and a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

On November 18, 2015, the RTAA and DPHW reviewed the October 29th submittal and requested additional changes to the draft MOU.

On November 23, 2015, the RTAA received a revised MOU reflecting the changes discussed at the November 18th meeting. DPHW requested that the RTAA review and provide feedback with any changes or comments.

Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 5 of 11

Between December 2015 and January 2016, the RTAA and DPHW worked together to revise and finalize the terms and conditions of the MOU as presented (refer to attached Exhibit C).

DISCUSSION This long and arduous process has culminated in proposed business terms between the RTAA and DPHW as presented below and in Exhibit C - Memorandum of Understanding (attached). The MOU encompasses two business relationships, a Master Development Agreement and Ground Leases.

The RTAA and DPHW have master planned 1,700 acres into a business park (Project), which includes the on-going National Championship Air Races (Air Races) at RTS. However should the Air Races discontinue the annual event, DPHW intends to develop the remaining undeveloped RTS land, for an estimated total of 3,000 acres, into the master planned business park. Understanding this is a long-term project, DPHW intends to develop the Project in a reasonable and orderly fashion in order to create a world-class business airport park specializing in aeronautical, distribution, manufacturing, office and other commercial uses.

The terms and conditions of the MOU establish DPHW as the exclusive master developer for all phases of the Project. As written below and in Exhibit C, unless material changes occur specific to the MOU terms (i.e. – ground rent formula, term, takedown schedule, entitlements, or infrastructure) or a direct impact to the Air Races occurs, no subsequent additional Board approval(s) will be required. However, staff will provide semi-annual written performance reports to the Board.

DPHW and the RTAA propose to enter into two contracts: 1) a Master Development Agreement whereby DPHW is the exclusive master developer and 2) a Phase I Ground Lease for development of approximately 90 acres. Key business terms include:

1. Master Development Agreement (Agreement)

a. Term shall be ten (10) years from date of its execution with seven (7) successive five-year options (phased ground leases). Agreement extension options shall not require subsequent Board approval(s) unless material changes occur.

b. Infrastructure for all Phases I-V is estimated to cost approximately $200,000,000. DPHW intends to seek State and/or Federal funding for all, or a portion thereof, in phases, depending on the Project. The RTAA shall have no obligation to fund, in whole or in part, any costs of funding infrastructure associated with the Project. Whenever possible, backbone offsite and onsite infrastructure may be dedicated to the appropriate jurisdictions and utility companies.

c. If DPHW does not secure grant funding within two (2) years of execution for entry and improvements proposed in the Phase I Ground Lease (see page 7), this Agreement shall terminate. During the two year period, DPHW may provide private capital to expedite the process while waiting for funding. If DPHW elects to use private equity for the improvements, the grant funding requirement shall be satisfied and the Agreement may not be terminated. Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 6 of 11

d. The ground rent for each phase of development shall be based on appraisal to establish fair market rental value or cash flow participation, or a combination thereof. Initial annual ground rent (Base Rent) shall be eight percent (8%) of the fair market land value.

e. Base Rent shall commence no later than two (2) years after Phases II-V ground leases are executed or upon certificate of occupancy, whichever is earlier. Base Rent shall increase by Consumer Price Index-Urban (CPI) or two percent (2%) compounded annually, whichever is lower. Base Rent adjustments shall be applied every other year. Every ten (10) years of the ground lease, the base rent shall be adjusted based on the appraisal process established in the Agreement.

f. The appraisal(s) shall comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and any applicable Law, and will be completed by an appraiser with MAI (Member, Appraisal Institute) credentials licensed in Nevada, with at least ten (10) years of experience in the valuation of similar commercial properties located in the Reno-Sparks metropolitan area.

g. In the event any building is sold by DPHW to a third party, the RTAA shall receive 33% of sale proceeds in excess of DPHW’s required Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 20%, which is calculated as a Net Present Value (NPV) of cash flows in the Fiscal Impact.

To the extent that DPHW is able to obtain grants, public financing, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), RTAA, or other governmental funding, any improvements and the associated costs are specifically excluded from inclusion in the IRR calculation.

The Parties shall develop a specific definition of the cash flows to be included in the Internal Rate of Return calculation to avoid any ambiguity regarding the calculation of this provision and this definition shall be incorporated into the Agreement.

h. In exchange for the RTAA’s agreement to continue to work exclusively with DPHW for the potential development and lease of the Property, during the term of this Agreement, DPHW shall make a payment of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) to the RTAA. Initial Option payment for Phases II through V is due on July 1, 2018, and every twelve (12) months thereafter, until the Agreement is terminated (Option Payments).

i. Ground leases will be executed in phases every five (5) years from the execution of the Master Developer Agreement.

j. DPHW shall use its best efforts to secure the following items to optimize development opportunities and tenant mix: i. Union Pacific Railroad approval for a grade crossing to enable the extension of Moya Boulevard into the property; Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 7 of 11

ii. A comprehensive marketing plan in coordination with the RTAA to attract customers; iii. The design and permitting of roads and utilities and all necessary infrastructure. The RTAA will provide up to 50 acre-feet of Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) “surface” water rights for development of commercial and industrial sites at RTS; iv. The construction of roads including the Moya Boulevard Gateway for each Phase as required; v. The design, permitting, and construction of buildings including aeronautical, manufacturing, office, and industrial uses as the market demands; and vi. The design, permitting and construction of any necessary drainage improvements that may be required to obtain regulatory approvals.

2. Phase I Ground Lease

If approved by the Board, the following terms and conditions of the Phase I Ground Lease will also apply to all Phases I-V, with the exception of acreage and base ground rent. Base ground rent will be adjusted based on current market value, as determined by a new appraisal. As written below and in Exhibit C, no subsequent Board approval(s) will be required unless material changes occur.

a. Premises are approximately ninety (90) acres in the southwest area of the Reno- Stead Airport with proximity to an existing rail spur and Moya Boulevard.

b. Ground Lease Term will be fifty (50) years commencing on January 1, 2017.

c. Base Ground Rent will be $.13 per square foot per year of lease land per a January 2016 appraisal of “As-Is” land valuation.

d. Base Rent will increase by Consumer Price Index-Urban (CPI) or two percent (2%) compounded annually, whichever is lower. Base Rent adjustments shall commence on January 1, 2020 and shall be applied every other year of the Phase I Lease Term. Every ten (10) years, the base rent shall be adjusted based on the appraisal process established in the Agreement.

e. Base Rent lease payments will commence upon the earlier of three (3) years or date of beneficial occupancy after the lease commencement date on January 1, 2020.

f. Capital Investment will be approximately $7.5 million in off-site and on-site infrastructure (refer to Exhibit D) as follows:

i. $5 million to construct the Gateway Entrance off-site improvements, including Moya Boulevard, and $2.5 million to construct Phase I on-site improvements (refer to Exhibit E); Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 8 of 11

ii. Ownership and title of all infrastructure improvements will vest with DPHW through the term of the Ground Lease. Upon expiration or termination of the Ground Lease, title to all building improvements, infrastructure, and other improvements on RTAA land will vest with the RTAA;

iii. To fund the costs of this infrastructure, DPHW will seek funding from State and/or Federal sources; and

iv. The conditions under Phase I Ground Lease are contingent and conditional on DPHW securing infrastructure funding within two (2) years of executing a Master Developer Agreement as described above. DPHW affirms its commitment to make good faith efforts toward obtaining the infrastructure funding.

3. Ground Leases Phase II through V:

a. Phases II-V ground leases will occur every five-years (5) from the execution of the Master Developer Agreement. Subsequent ground leases shall not require Board approval(s) unless substantial deviation from the Agreement terms above or a direct impact to the Air Races occurs.

b. If, at any time during the term of the Agreement, DPHW fails to meet the minimum takedown schedule as described above, the RTAA may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to DPHW. However, DPHW takedown obligation hereunder shall be suspended if the vacancy rate in the Reno industrial market is greater than fifteen percent (15%) for two consecutive quarters as defined by the quarterly report published by the Reno office of CBRE. The takedown schedule shall be reinstated when the CBRE report indicates that the industrial vacancy report has fallen below 15% for two consecutive quarters or five years.

c. Each subsequent phase ground leases will be based on appraisal to establish fair market rental value or cash flow participation, or a combination thereof.

d. Subsequent phase ground lease terms shall be agreed upon a minimum of six months prior to next land takedown.

COMPANY BACKGROUND Dermody Properties is a national developer of industrial and commercial properties, having been ranked among the 10 largest privately held industrial developers in the nation. Since 1960, the company has developed over 35 million square feet of industrial space including parks, speculative facilities, and build-to-suits for lease or purchase. Development is managed through each of Dermody’s regional offices located in Philadelphia, Chicago, Phoenix, Portland, and the corporate headquarters in Reno. The company has over 300 international, national and regional customers, many of whom are the country’s most respected companies. Dermody’s customers include Amazon.com, APL Logistics, Aramark, Bed Bath and Beyond, Borders Group, CDW Corporation, Dole Food Company, Federal Express, Kimberly-Clark, Kuehne + Nagel, Michelin, Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 9 of 11

Office Depot, OfficeMax, Ozburn-Hessey Logistics, Pepsi-Cola, Sherwin-Williams, United Stationers Supply Co., UPS, Volvo/Mack, Wal-Mart, Xerox and 1-800-Flowers.com.

In addition to these customers, Dermody Properties has relationships with financial entities including California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), Lazard Freres & Co, and California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS), through joint ventures and partnerships.

Hillwood Investment Properties, a Ross Perot Company, has nearly 30 years of expertise and experience in developing on airports across the country. At AllianceTexas, an 18,000 acre mixed use project north of Fort Worth, they are developing and operating a cargo airport, and related aviation and non-aviation uses. This project has over 400 clients and provides jobs to approximately 40,000 workers with companies such as Bell Helicopter, UPS, FedEx, Rolls- Royce, and Lockheed Martin.

In addition to AllianceTexas, Hillwood has public-private partnerships with the Ontario Airport, San Bernardino International Airport (AllianceCalifornia), Cecil Field in Florida, and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

To ensure development of a Class “A” business park, Dermody Properties and Hillwood Investment Properties have partnered to develop an airport-centered business park capable of accommodating aviation and non-aviation uses.

FISCAL IMPACT DPHW intends to seek State and/or Federal funding for backbone off-site and on-site infrastructure in phases as ground leases are executed.

Regarding Phase I Ground Lease, DPHW estimates that $7.5 million in land improvements are required to move the land from an “as-is” basis to a tenant ready program in a master planned, best-of-class business park and job center that can compete on a regional basis. The current “as- is” land improvements do not meet the utility and road requirements of target businesses, such as an aircraft manufacturer or similar industrial uses in the vicinity. If DPHW is unable to secure grant funding within two years, the Master Development Agreement and the Phase I Ground Lease will terminate.

The RTAA shall have no obligation to fund, in whole or in part, any infrastructure costs associated with the entire development.

DPHW and the RTAA intend to dedicate backbone off-site and on-site infrastructure to the appropriate jurisdictions and utility companies whenever possible. Subject to FAA approval, private improvements, including entry monumentation, landscaping, and other such improvements, will be owned and maintained by DPHW, or through an improvement district, and/or through common area maintenance fees.

All assets currently owned by the RTAA, including existing roads, hangars, buildings and airfield improvements, and/or future improvements funded by the RTAA and not incorporated into the Master Developer Agreement, special improvement districts, or subsequent Ground Leases, shall be maintained by the RTAA. Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 10 of 11

DPHW shall be responsible for the assessment and collection of the infrastructure common area maintenance fee. DPHW will also be responsible for the daily, non-structural upkeep/maintenance of common areas and periodic rehabilitation/upgrade of infrastructure improvements, as mutually agreed by the Parties.

If DPHW obtains infrastructure funding within two years of the execution of the Master Development Agreement, the following table outlines the following: (1) the Option Payments during the term of the Master Development Agreement; (2) Phase I Ground Lease for approximately ninety (90) acres starting January 1, 2020, for the first 10 years of the term assuming a two percent (2%) CPI adjustment compounded annually ever two (2) years, and (3) Phase II Ground Lease for the minimum of forty (40) acres starting July 1, 2023.

Option Payments Phase I Ground Phase II Ground Total - Exclusive Lease – Base Rent Lease –Base Rent Estimated Development of $0.13 per sq. ft. of $0.14 per sq. Revenue Rights - $75,000 per year X ft. per year X per year 3,920,400 1,742,400 (40 Phase II - V (90 Acres) Acres) FY 2016-17 ------FY 2017-18 ------FY 2018-19 $75,000 -- -- $75,000 FY 2019-20 75,000 $265,834 -- 340,834 FY 2020-21 75,000 542,302 -- 617,302 FY 2021-22 75,000 552,935 -- 627,935 FY 2022-23 75,000 563,944 -- 638,944 FY 2023-24 75,000 575,053 $255,579 905,632 FY 2024-25 75,000 586,554 260,690 922,244 FY 2025-26 75,000 598,055 265,802 938,857 Total FY 2017 to $600,000 $3,684,677 $782,071 $5,066,748 2026

The Phase I and Phase II Ground Lease, as outlined above, over the fifty (50) year term of the leases are estimated to generate total revenue in the range of $55 to $60 million.

If DPHW does not take down the Phase II minimum ground, the Master Development Agreement will terminate, subject to the condition that the industrial vacancy rate in the Reno market does not exceed 15%.

In addition, the MOU outlines that in the event any building sold by DPHW to a third party, the RTAA shall receive 33% of sale proceeds in excess of DPHW’s required IRR, which is calculated as Net Present Value (NPV) of 20% below.

While there are too many variables to properly estimate the financial impact of this MOU provision, the following example outlines how this provision might factor into the future RTAA revenues.

Reno-Stead Airport Master Developer Agreement & Phase I Ground Lease # 16(02)-04 February 11, 2016 Board Meeting Page 11 of 11

Cash Outflows:

Building Construction $21,000,000 Less: Leasehold Mortgage ( 14,000,000) Permanent Financing – 20 Year Term ------Developer Initial Investment $ 7,000,000

Cash Inflows:

Net Building Rent – 5 Years $ 3,750,000 ($750,000 per year after Debt Service)

Sale of Building - Year 6 $26,250,000 Less: Loan Pay Off: (11,500,000) Outstanding Loan Less: Closing Costs ( 250,000) ------Net Sales Proceeds - Year 6 $14,500,000

Total Cash Inflows $18,250,000 Net Present Value 20% Required Developer IRR

In this example, the RTAA would receive 33% of any net sale proceeds that exceed the $14,500,000 as outlined in Net Sales Proceeds – Year 6 above.

Additional fiscal impact may occur if the RTAA elects to enter into a contract with a Construction Management company to oversee development. If this were decided, the Construction Management services would be procured separately and be presented to the Planning and Construction Committee and the Board for consideration.

In addition to the RTAA Chief Financial Officer (CFO) financial updates, staff will provide semi-annual written performance reports to the Board.

Business Development Reno-Stead Airport Economic Development (AED)

• UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Staff continues working with the University of Nevada Reno (UNR), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and other corporate partners regarding the technical requirements of Task Order 2 from NASA to establish connectivity between Nevada and the Live Virtual Constructive Distributed Environment (LVC-DE) at NASA Ames. To support this connectivity, UNR will lease 1,572 square feet of space located on the first floor of the Reno-Stead Airport terminal, where the Nevada Unmanned, Aerial, and NextGen Collaborative Environment (NUANCE) laboratory will be located.

President/CEO’s Report – January 2016 February 11, 2016 Page 7 of 12

As an incentive to locate the LVC-DE at the Reno-Stead Airport terminal, the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) will fund and construct Phase 1 of the NUANCE lab. In order to meet NASA’s deadline requirements for the LVC-DE, the scope for Phase 1 has been scaled back. The refined Phase 1 scope now only includes construction of the NUANCE lab, which will meet NASA and UNR connectivity technical requirements and deadlines.

Staff is working with NASA, the Nevada Advanced Autonomous Systems Innovation Center (NAASIC), UNR, and the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) for a press event to celebrate the opening of the NUANCE lab. Additional information will be provided at a future date.

Organizational Training & Development • “RTAA 101”, a quarterly series on what different departments do and how they operate, kicked off with a dynamic presentation titled “Air Service 101”. Participants received an overview of the changing airline industry, and then heard about how a new flight becomes a reality, as well as how the RTAA is working with the local community to compete for air service.

• Human Resources (HR) staff presented several computer classes which were open to all RTAA employees. “The PowerPoint Template” class provided instruction on how to create consistent and professional presentations using the RTAA PowerPoint template. “Forms” is a perennially popular class that shows participants how to create documents that can be filled out electronically.

Best Places to Work winners are determined exclusively on confidential and anonymous survey responses to an Employee Engagement Survey conducted by an independent firm. The survey will be available to complete between February 15th and March 18th. In order to be considered as a finalist, at least 50% of our employees must complete the survey. Human Resources will be communicating with employees about the survey process and participation rates.

• RTAA Management representatives have been meeting to review the Teamster collective bargaining agreement in preparation to enter into successor agreement negotiations beginning in February 2016. Potential bargaining priorities have been identified.

• Staff celebrated the American Heart Association’s National Go Red Day on February 5th, to show support for women’s heart health. Staff wore red and participated in a group photo in the Airport terminal, and promoted new routes at an RTAA booth at the Go Red for Women Luncheon held at the Atlantis Resort Casino.

• As in previous years, staff welcomed a unique sporting event this month. The annual Pole Vault Summit brought 1,000 athletes and their equipment through the terminal, which required substantial coordination between the airlines and TSA.

• Airport staff continues to support the three international Volaris flight arrivals each week in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility, providing customer service with assistance in using the Automated Passport Control (APC) kiosk, information, water, and snacks. In addition, this month RNO welcomed the arrival of two international golf charters from Puerto Vallarta, MX, and Airport staff was there to assist with queuing and APC kiosk use.

• On February 3, 2016, staff received a briefing from the Truckee River Flood Management Authority (TRFMA) staff on the current improvements plan and options they are considering for funding of the project. A series of improvements are proposed along the Truckee River that run from the Reno downtown area, through the valley and developed areas downstream. In scale, these improvements are much more modest than previously proposed, and as a result the total estimated cost is down to about $445 million, but when all elements are completed will provide flood protection for developed parts of the valley, including the Airport, from a 100-year flood event. The challenge that the TRFMA now faces is that there is no revenue sources in place to fund these improvements and they do not anticipate federal assistance due to competition for grants from other major projects around the country. Among the many funding options being considered, a leading candidate being put forward by TRFMA staff, is the creation of a special assessment district fee applied to the area directly President/CEO’s Report – January 2016 February 11, 2016 Page 11 of 12

benefitting from flood protection, which includes the Airport, supplemented by a request at a future legislative session for an increase in property or sales taxes. Based on information shared at this briefing, staff is analyzing the cost implications to the Airport associated with the estimated special assessment district fee. Staff was informed that the TRFMA Board would be discussing these issues at their February 12, 2016 meeting, but the Airport was assured that no decisions were expected and several more opportunities for input will be made available.

• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) Planning and Engineering staff submitted the required annual update to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) for Reno-Tahoe International Airport on January 29, 2016, and for Reno-Stead Airport on January 31, 2016. Information submitted is incorporated by the FAA Regional Airports Office into its Regional ACIP. The Regional ACIPs are then incorporated into the National ACIP. The National ACIP is the primary planning tool used by the FAA to identify and prioritize nationwide airport capital improvement needs and to plan for the distribution of Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds over the next 3 to 5 years. On an annual basis, both the Reno-Tahoe International and Reno-Stead Airports are eligible for entitlement and discretionary AIP funding. For Reno-Tahoe International Airport, annual entitlement levels are based on passenger volumes. Entitlement levels are fixed for Reno-Stead Airport at $150,000 per year. Discretionary levels fluctuate greatly based on the total amount of funding made available for airport projects and on how high the Reno-Tahoe and Reno-Stead projects rank nationally compared to other airport projects.

• Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Facility (ARFF) Solar System The 135-kilowatt solar system installed at the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority’s Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Facility (ARFF) has been fully operational since March 2011. Solar power generation results are provided below. Banked credits have been used during those months when not enough power is generated to cover the monthly use. As indicated in the table below, approximately $20,232 in electrical costs were saved as a result of the solar system during the current 2015-2016 fiscal year period.

December Power Generation FY 2015-2016 2015 Energy Offset from Monthly Bill $3,792 $19,801 Energy Credits Banked $0 $431 Banked Credits Applied ($1,926) ($2,096) Total Earned $1,866 $20,232 Banked Credits Remaining NA $8,967

• Recycling at Reno-Tahoe International Airport Beginning July 2015, Airport Authority staff have successfully collected approximately 36.98 tons of recyclable material during the FY 2015-2016 period. These recyclables equate to a 9.26 percent diversion rate of the Airport’s total waste volume. An annual recycling objective remains set at 10 percent.

As a result of hauling cost-reduction measures, collected recyclables are no longer transported monthly to local recycling centers. Airport Authority staff accumulate recyclables for longer periods of time before transportation, thereby decreasing the number of annual trips. As a result, during some months there are no reportable quantities for certain materials, as illustrated in the table below. President/CEO’s Report – January 2016 February 11, 2016 Page 12 of 12
