Kern – GTAB Board Liaison Page 51 of 78 GTAB STATEMENT JULY 08, 2016 AGENDA ITEM “E” AIRPORT MONTHLY REPORT AND PROJECT TIME LINES Good morning Mr. Chairman, members of the GTAB board, city staff and ladies and gentlemen. My name is Hugh C. Norris, Jr. I am a member of the Airport Concerned Citizens (ACC). This is the 57th presentation by ACC members to the city council and/or the GTAB since January 14, 2014. These presentations are demands for compliance by the city, TxDOT and FAA with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regarding expansion of aviation operations and fiscal transparency for the Georgetown Municipal Airp ort (GTU). At the January 14, 2014 statement to the City Council we requested a hold on federal funds for our airport for five federal grants the planning of which had not complied with NEPA. The federal grant for the 25 - element, 1514GRGTN, of which the Fuel Farm is only one of the 25-elements, was one of the five. The statement this morning is focused on the lack of comprehensive information regarding the airport made available to the public. Such information, when provided at all by the local press, seems always provided exclusively by city sources. The ACC is disappointed by such information as it normally is riddled with false information, misinformation and no information without any press contact with ACC members for alternate viewpoints. The co py of the Sun article dated June 29, 2016 attached for your review is a classic. Without chronological listing of counterpoints by successive article paragraphs, the following issues are listed: 1. Nowhere is the primary concern of the ACC described. That concern being the ACC's demand for respect for the rule of law, compliance with NEPA, by the city, TxDOT and FAA for airport federal funding that has transformed the airport to a public health and safety hazard and source of public controversy. 2. No information is provided that the origin of all 1514GRGTN “improvements” elements is the 2005 Airport Master Plan that projected increased aircraft types, numbers and operations to be accommodated across the 20-year planning period with described project elements for maneuverability and safety of these expanded aviation operations. Airport safety and reliability was not a purpose of that master plan. 3. The photograph of a deteriorating runway accompanying the article is one of a group submitted by the City Manger with his June 30, 2015 letter requesting TxDOT to 90% fund a new 4” overlay of Runway 18-36 to accommodate a whole new class of heavier aircraft. The Airport Manger has previously advised the GTAB that cracks in both runways have since been repaired by city crews. Despite no justification for the 4” overlay the city now plans to add to its FY 2016/2017 financial plans a new Airport CIP item for this runway strengthening project. 4. The article is silent on the issue that there has never been a public hearing for 1514GRGTN. The only public hearing was for a narrowly focused Environmental Assessment for the Fuel Farm element cunningly segmented from the 25 -elements of 1514GRGTN cynically for purpose of ignoring the over 100 public verbal and written opposition statements objecting to the secondary adverse impacts from the expanded aviation operations fueled and serviced by the totally unjustified 60% expansion of the facility's storage capacity. 5. The article repeats the continuous and erroneous city statements that the city's cost Page 52 of 78 share for 1515GRGTN is paid by airport revenues. The city continues to make this claim regarding all city cost shares for all airport grants. Anyone attending GTAB meetings knows these statements to be absurd. All city grant share costs along with all interest and other costs are quietly paid by other sources including electric utility revenue bonds. 6. The article makes the claim that the ACC contends the city plans to expand the airfield. That is a specific lie. The ACC has never made such a claim. The ACC principle contention is that the city, TxDOT and FAA have, in the past, and continue to violate the NEPA regarding use of federal funds for the airport. Anyone reviewing TxDOT's GTU “Airport Project History” can clearly observe how the city has expanded airport facilities over the past 37 years for support of expanded aviation operations without a single legitimate NEPA review. 7. The article contains the city position of “There is no plan for expansion. There is no plan for heavier planes to land at the airport”. That statement is directly contrary to the City Manager's letter dated June 30, 2015 to TxDOT for funds to dramatically increase accommodated aircraft weight for Runway 18-36 and the new FY 2016-2017 CIP item for plans for a 4” overlay of Runway 18-36. That statement and one by the Airport Manager that “ The possibility increasing the size of planes has never even been considered.” is directly contrary to documented communications between him and TxDOT regarding increased strength and other improvements for both runways. These “improvements” are being planned prior to any determination of needs for inclusion in the new 20 year master plan, 16MPGRGTN. Mr. Chairman, the ACC continues to be disappointed in so-called public information distributed by city sources regarding the airport and city plans for its future. We demand compliance with the NEPA. Mr. Chairman, I welcome any questions or comments from the board.

Austin Avenue also benefits from the DDI implementation. The intersection delay is reduced by 37% in the AM peak hour and 43% in the PM peak hour, even though the throughput increases by 16% for AM peak hour and 7% for PM peak hour. *The Austin Avenue intersection experiences congestion that backs up into the DDI increasing delay. 9 Page 73 of 78 City of Georgetown August 12, 2016 Traffic Visualization: Traditional AM Peak Hour 10 Page 74 of 78 City of Georgetown August 12, 2016 Traffic Visualization: DDI AM Peak Hour 11 Page 75 of 78 City of Georgetown August 12, 2016 Traffic Visualization: Traditional PM Peak Hour 12 Page 76 of 78 City of Georgetown August 12, 2016 Traffic Visualization: DDI PM Peak Hour 13 Page 77 of 78 City of Georgetown August 12, 2016 Mobility35 Stay involved: Web: www.My35.org/Capital Facebook: www.facebook.com/TxDOT Twitter: @TxDOTAustin Email: info@mobility35.org 14 Page 78 of 78
