VERO BEACH AIRPORT COMMISSION MINUTES Friday, April 24, 2026 - 9:30 a.m. City Hall, Council Chambers, Vero Beach, Florida PRESENT: Arthur Hodge, Chairman; Philip Canal, Vice Chairman; Members: Louis (Buck) Vocelle, Carole Jean Jordan, Joseph “Danny” Markford, Dr. Stephen Kepley, Alternate Member, and Dr. Ian Blair Fries, Alternate Member Also Present: Todd Scher, Airport Director; William Howard, Assistant Airport Director; Brandon Dambeck, Airport Operations Manager; Melany Crawford, Deputy City Attorney and Rita Chartier, Deputy City Clerk 1. CALL TO ORDER Today’s meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. Ms. Melany Crawford, Deputy City Attorney, introduced herself to the Commission members. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A) January 23, 2026 Mr. Vocelle made a motion to approve the minutes of the January 23, 2026 Airport Commission meeting. Mr. Canal seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT None 4. NEW BUSINESS None 5. OLD BUSINESS A) Update on an Aviation Maintenance Curriculum at Indian River County High Schools – Mr. Philip Canal Mr. Canal reported that he received an email indicating the aviation maintenance curriculum they were considering would be implemented in 2027. He wanted to verify that information, so he called the director of Indian River Technical College and he found out that it was not the case. He said even though the Indian River County School system is very interested in aviation maintenance in the schools there is a considerable amount of money involved. The County has an interest and is making an application for a State grant to be matched by the organization they would be partnering with, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. They want to use one (1) of their courses in the future. After he spoke with Embry-Riddle, they informed him that they were also applying for a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the equipment for the maintenance program. They said it could cost between $50,000 to $80,000. He said the schools would keep him apprised of where they are in obtaining the grants. He said the school district will continue with the aeronautical programs that they currently offer at both high schools. A i r p o r t C o m m i s s i o n - 4 / 2 4 / 2 6 P a g e 1 | 6

Mr. Vocelle asked if that would be a full Aviation Maintenance Professional (AMP) program. Mr. Canal answered no. If someone went through the high school program they could probably get a repairman’s certificate. Mr. Vocelle asked if an individual completes the high school program what would be left for them to do to get their AMP certificate. Mr. Canal said people could go directly from graduating and take the AMP test, but there would be no assurance that they would pass. Mr. Hodge said that he believes Embry-Riddle has satellite programs throughout the State. Mr. Canal said that was correct, but not this repairman’s program at the high schools. Several school districts are interested in this program. They are hoping for a grant where 50% would come from the State and 50% would come from the FAA to go towards this program. Mrs. Jordan asked if they are looking for funding to purchase the initial equipment, which is a one-time expense, not recurring. Mr. Canal answered yes. Mr. Hodge asked for an update on the lighting of the towers on top of the old Power Plant. Mr. Canal reported that he contacted Mr. Peter Polk, Manager of the Three Corners Project. Options were given to Mr. Polk and the Three Corners Committee. He said rather than touching the towers, which are in rough shape, they thought the best option was to use uplighting on the roof to illuminate the towers. He said that Mr. Polk received a preliminary estimate for the uplighting, which was roughly $24,000. They received a letter from Skyborne Airline Academy, which indicated that uplighting might pose a problem with airplanes crossing the flight paths over the towers. The next option would be to relight the towers to meet the FAA regulations. That process would entail getting a proposal and an estimate for submission to the City Council for approval and then submitting it to the FAA for their concurrence. Unfortunately, there is no time frame for this to happen. They do not want to spend the money if the designer of The Three Corners property would not be keeping the towers. Dr. Kepley said depending on the outcome of the Three Corners project, those towers might not exist, or they might not be as tall. He believes they should put the onus on the developer at that time, even though it is several years out. 6. AIRPORT DIRECTOR’S MATTERS A) Airport Director’s Report & Project Identification Map Mr. Todd Scher, Airport Director, said he will provide a high-level update on some of the more visible changes taking place at the Airport, which are included in his report (attached to the original minutes). At the top of the list are the airlines. He said they have flight schedules for the fall of 2026 and the early part of 2027 for all three (3) airlines. They are working with them on some minor conflicts with scheduling. Through March of this year they have already serviced 130,000 passengers, both inbound and outbound and now they are starting to see the number of A i r p o r t C o m m i s s i o n - 4 / 2 4 / 2 6 P a g e 2 | 6

flights decrease. In March, they had 406 commercial flights and this month they are operating 398 flights. Those numbers will steadily decline until August and September. He said Phase II, which is the covered walkways, covered baggage claim, and the exit lane with new bathrooms, could be open and operational by late May. Per the City Council's direction, they are proceeding with the original plan for the parking lot expansion project. They are negotiating with the original party for a lease and management of the parking lot project. The developer wants to work with their own people on the design process because they believe they could get it done quicker. He reported that construction of the consolidated rental car facility is underway and they are close to permitting the structures. Mr. Canal asked if they have agreements with any other car rental companies besides Avis and Hertz. Mr. Scher said they are still negotiating with other companies. He said that Avis rented over 2,000 cars in March, so they are very busy. Mr. Canal asked what the Airport receives from the car rental company. Mr. Scher said they receive 10% on every car rental and currently they lease counter space and 30 parking spaces, which will go away when they move to the consolidated building. Mr. Scher said that Mr. Dambeck will provide an update on the midfield weather equipment. Mr. Brandon Dambeck, Airport Operations Manager, said there are three (3) agencies involved with moving the weather equipment, which include the National Weather Service, the FAA and the Airport. They need to have agreements in place because the National Weather Service and the FAA will continue to maintain the equipment. The plan is to have the weather equipment and the segmented circle relocated between Taxiway A and Taxiway D. This will open the midfield area for development, but there will be height restrictions. They are looking at utilizing Airport Improvement Grant (AIG) funds, so once they have a set price for the project, they can apply for grant funding. They are trying to expedite this and since it is not a complex project, they should start seeing things happening by the end of this year and into 2027. Mr. Scher explained that several people have inquired about the various plaques around the Airport that commemorate the Naval Air Station and some events that happened around that time. He will let Mr. Dambeck report on this project. Mr. Dambeck said they have had conversations with Mr. Tony Young about the plaques. After the Terminal project is complete, they will use the concrete circle behind CJ Cannons as the location for the new memorial. They have a few items that were on the walls of the Terminal Building that will be moved out there along with the original seal from the Vero Beach Naval Air Station. Mr. Scher said this memorial will be accessible to the public by walking through the exit lanes. Mrs. Jordan recommended that they also check with Mrs. Ruth Stanbridge, County Historian, because her knowledge of that history is tremendous. She might have some ideas or other items to add to it. A i r p o r t C o m m i s s i o n - 4 / 2 4 / 2 6 P a g e 3 | 6

Mr. Scher explained that with an aggressive flight schedule by Breeze Airways in the fall, they will need to increase their Airport fire rescue and firefighting capability from Index B to Index C. He said Mr. Dambeck worked with the County to get a dollar figure for what that would cost and they passed that along to the airlines. They will negotiate a new contract with the County to provide those firefighting services. He explained that being an Index C Airport, they can only do a live burn simulation at the Airport for two (2) years in a row and then they must go to an FAA approved burn facility. The County assured them that they can be ready for implementation by January 1st. Mr. Scher gave a brief update on the development of the north ramp area. Mr. Canal asked if there is any more real estate available in that area. Mr. Scher answered yes. There are a couple of parcels where Airport West Drive makes the turn to the north, but they have some road access limitations that would need to be worked out. Mr. Vocelle asked what is available on the west side, coming off 43rd Avenue. Mr. Scher said there is not much. Mr. Vocelle asked what about the north side of the road. Mr. Scher said there is land available, but there are letters of intent to lease portions of that parcel. However, those parcels currently do not have access to the airfield. Mr. Scher gave a brief update on the hotel project. He said they have an appraisal and they are reviewing it. They hope to have leases to present to the City Council in the next few months. He said they have a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grant to bring infrastructure into those parcels. Mr. Dambeck said the grants are active and the local match is being covered by the developer. There was a bidding process to select a developer and they will take their selection to the City Council, but they were waiting until they had a signed lease. Mr. Canal asked if they had any idea what the tenant would do with the smaller parcel. Mr. William Howard, Assistant Airport Director, said they have been talking about some type of commercial space for a restaurant or something along that line. B) 2026 Vero Beach Air Show Update Mr. Scher reported that two (2) weeks from yesterday, the Blue Angels team will arrive and they will start to practice. They will take over the Airport from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to do their circle maneuvers to get familiar with the layout of the property around the Airport. They have been working with the tenants for several months to let them know what will be closed and when. They sent out notices to the flight schools and have worked with all the airlines on the restrictions associated with the Air Show. A i r p o r t C o m m i s s i o n - 4 / 2 4 / 2 6 P a g e 4 | 6

Mr. Vocelle said it was reported in the press that a developer approached the City about constructing a new terminal building and leasing it back to the City. He asked if there were grants available to construct a new terminal building. Mr. Scher said grants would be available for both Terminal improvements and for the construction of a new building. Several things are happening in the background that make him very cautious when talking about a new Terminal. What they are looking at now is a concept by Hanson Professional Services for a bump-out of the existing Terminal Building toward the flagpole. It would be almost 9,000 square feet of additional space and it would qualify for grant funding. Mr. Canal asked how the Airport did with the FAA safety inspection. Mr. Dambeck said the FAA did their safety inspection and they had five (5) discrepancies, which were easy to fix. Two (2) of them were for markings and faded signs. The markings are about halfway done on being refreshed and all the signs have been ordered and will be rectified soon. There were a few minor issues with a fueling truck’s breaking interlock system and there were a couple of discrepancies with the windsocks for fading and lighting. Mr. Canal said that he is concerned about Airport staffing because of all the new leases. Badging is another very time-consuming task. Mr. Scher said the level of activity staff handled 10 to 15 years ago is a shadow compared to what they handle now. There are a lot of leases being assigned, ending, or renewed, and they take a lot of time. Mr. Dambeck agrees that burnout is an issue and they will act on this before the next fiscal year. In May, there will be a budget amendment, which will include a position for an Operations and Security Administrator. In next year’s budget they would like to have an additional Business Specialist to help with the leases. They also want to increase the number of part-time employees. When the Terminal project is complete, they will reallocate some of the part-time employees to new positions. Dr. Fries asked if they were familiar with the Surface Awareness Initiative (SAI). The FAA will be giving the Airport Control Tower a new system that can track vehicles on the field. The FAA is willing to give the Airport one (1) transponder, but in his opinion, every vehicle on the field should have a transponder so the Tower can track all the vehicles on the ground at any time. He said the City will need to pay for additional transponders so they can be placed in any vehicle that will be moved onto the field. Mr. Dambeck said it would be Airport funds, not City funds, that would be used to purchase the transponders, which cost $3,000 apiece installed. They are Airport Improvement Program (AIP) eligible, which means they can get grant funds from the FAA. The free transponder will be placed on the fire truck and it will be installed within a couple of weeks. They finished with the equipment that will be installed in the Tower and the electrical work for the midfield. He said that AIP funds will cover 90% of the cost for the transponders and 10% will be paid by Airport funds. Their goal is to have a transponder in every vehicle that operates on the airfield. Dr. Fries said that Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) self-contained apparatuses can be purchased for airplanes that don’t have to be installed. So, his thought was A i r p o r t C o m m i s s i o n - 4 / 2 4 / 2 6 P a g e 5 | 6

that they could purchase some of those types of devices and they could be interchanged between vehicles. Mr. Hodge thought that SAI was only for certain-sized airports. Dr. Fries said it is, but there is enough activity that the FAA is requiring it now. Dr. Kepley asked how many vehicles are they talking about. Mr. Dambeck said the Airport itself currently has 18 vehicles that operate on the airfield. They are continuing to query the tenants to determine how many vehicles they have that are frequently on the airfield. 7. CHAIRMAN’S MATTERS Mr. Hodge said based on their discussion at the January 23, 2026, meeting, he does not see any foreseeable changes to their scheduled meeting dates and times that have been set. 8. MEMBER’S MATTERS None 9. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS None 10. NEXT MEETING DATE A) July 24, 2026 The next Airport Commission meeting is scheduled for July 24, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., in the City Hall, Council Chambers. Dr. Fries announced that he would not be attending the July meeting. 11. ADJOURNMENT Today’s meeting adjourned at 10:35 a.m. /rc A i r p o r t C o m m i s s i o n - 4 / 2 4 / 2 6 P a g e 6 | 6

VERO BEACH AIRPORT COMMISSION MINUTES Friday, January 23, 2026 - 9:30 a.m. City Hall, Council Chambers, Vero Beach, Florida PRESENT: Arthur Hodge, Vice Chairman; Members: Louis (Buck) Vocelle, Carole Jean Jordan, Joseph “Danny” Markford, Philip Canal, Dr. Stephen Kepley, Alternate Member, and Dr. Ian Blair Fries, Alternate Member Also Present: Todd Scher, Airport Director; Brandon Dambeck, Airport Operations Manager; John Turner, City Attorney and Rita Chartier, Deputy City Clerk 1. CALL TO ORDER Today’s meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A) October 17, 2025 Mr. Canal asked to make one (1) change to the October 17th minutes. He said under item 4- A) near the end of the first paragraph, the word “cents” should be added after 55. Mr. Vocelle made a motion to approve the minutes of the October 17, 2025 Airport Commission meeting as amended. Mrs. Jordan seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 3. ELECTION OF OFFICERS A) Chairman Mr. John Turner, City Attorney, asked for nominations for Chairman of the Airport Commission. Mr. Vocelle nominated Mr. Arthur Hodge for Chairman of the Airport Commission. Mr. Canal seconded the nomination. There were no other nominations. Mr. Arthur Hodge was unanimously appointed as Chairman of the Airport Commission. B) Vice-Chairman Mr. Vocelle nominated Mr. Philip Canal for Vice Chairman of the Airport Commission. Mrs. Jordan seconded the nomination. Airport – 1/23/26 Page 1 of 6

There were no other nominations. Mr. Philip Canal was unanimously appointed as Vice Chairman of the Airport Commission. 4. PUBLIC COMMENT None 5. NEW BUSINESS A) Aviation Obstruction Lights on Big Blue Towers – Mr. Philip Canal Mr. Canal read a prepared statement about the old Power Plant (Big Blue) towers not having any working aviation obstruction lights (attached to the original minutes). He said that he is not sure how they move forward with this. He does not know whether the other Commission members feel as strongly about this, but he believes the height and location of the towers pose a threat to aviation safety. He asked if the Commission would support making a formal recommendation to the City Council. Dr. Fries said that he would strongly support it because with the weather here, planes sometimes fly low and there is a lot of aircraft traffic. Any object that is 207 feet above the ground is a significant risk and should be appropriately signaled. Mr. Vocelle asked what the cost would be to install the lights given the fact that the structures are unsafe. Mr. Canal said it depends on how it is done. When he met with Mr. Peter Polk, Three Corners Project Manager, they discussed possibly using solar panels since they do not know if the towers would remain part of the Three Corners project. He does not know what it would cost. He said that the Airport cannot fund anything off of the Airport property, so the funding would be up to the City. Mr. Vocelle said that he supports his proposal, but he thinks the City Council would want to know the cost before moving forward. Mr. Turner suggested that they table this item and get more information, such as the cost and the timing of the Three Corner project. Mr. Canal said that he could do that and report back at the next Airport Commission meeting. Mr. Hodge asked, other than the City Council, who else would the proposal need to go through. Airport – 1/23/26 Page 2 of 6

Mr. Turner said they would definitely like input from the Airport. Mrs. Jordan said the Airport Commission only meets every 90 days and this is a big safety issue, especially with all the young, inexperienced pilots. She suggested that they at least let the City Council know there is an issue and they need to work on it in a timely manner. Mr. Hodge asked Mr. Canal if he was willing to table this until their next meeting. Mr. Canal said it all depends on his ability to speak with Mr. Polk about the next steps, because he is a very busy man and it is hard to get in touch with him. Mr. Hodge said that he believes it should be tabled until their next meeting. They could meet earlier if they receive any information that would help them. Mr. Canal said that he understands, but each day that goes by the risk is still there. Mr. Vocelle made a motion to table this issue until their next meeting on April 24, 2026, unless further information is received. Mr. Hodge seconded the motion. Dr. Fries said that he thinks they all agree that lighting is needed, so he suggests that they just move ahead. He does not see where tabling helps anything. Mr. Hodge said there is a request to find out what costs are involved. Mrs. Jordan said that since the City is in discussions regarding the Three Corners project, she believes it is important that the City Council and the developer know there is a big safety issue. The motion failed 2 - 3, with Mr. Vocelle voting yes, Mr. Hodge yes, Mrs. Jordan no, Mr. Markford no, and Mr. Canal no. Mr. Markford said the risk is there and he believes that the City Council needs to know about it. They can provide the costs at a later time. Mr. Canal made a motion to forward the information about the ongoing risk to the City Council. Mrs. Jordan seconded the motion. Mr. Hodge opened and closed public comments at 9:46 a.m., with no one wishing to be heard. The motion passed unanimously. Airport – 1/23/26 Page 3 of 6

B) Adding an Aviation Maintenance Curriculum to Indian River County High Schools – Mr. Philip Canal Mr. Canal read a prepared statement about an Aviation Maintenance curriculum at the Indian River County High Schools (attached to the original minutes). Mr. Hodge asked what he would like from the Airport Commission. Mr. Canal replied just for them to know about this. He said that he might need both the City Council and the Indian River County School Board to help push it through the County. He believes this is a way of employing our young people in well-paying jobs. Mrs. Jordan said that she supports it because there is a need for it. It is not difficult but it is time-consuming to put it together and she thinks it is a wonderful idea. Mr. Canal said this program would lead to what Piper Aircraft might be looking for. He said the young people don’t have the background in aviation, but this program would get them started in aviation and they could advance from there. Mr. Hodge said the development of this program goes beyond their Commission, but the concept is something they understand and they will discuss it as he progresses. 6. OLD BUSINESS None 7. AIRPORT DIRECTOR’S MATTERS A) Airport Director’s Report & Project Identification Map Mr. Todd Scher, Airport Director, went over his report on the Airport's current Capital Improvement projects, other projects, the Leasing Team’s leases and renewals, and an update on their lease compliance items. He then reported on the upcoming events on the Airport property, such as the 2026 Airshow. He then gave an update on the airline's passenger figures and the airline's future flight schedules (attached to the original minutes). He said phase 2 of the Terminal Building renovations is underway and is expected to be completed by late February, except for the bathrooms, which will probably not be completed until March. He said the lights, both inside and outside, have all been replaced with LED lights, which is a nice improvement. He said they are currently working with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on the paved parking project to modify Parcel 5 to add a cell phone lot and additional employee parking. He reviewed all the changes being made in the parking areas. They are working with the Vero Beach Police Department to enforce the three (3) hour time limit in the short-term parking lot. He then reviewed the status of the new hangars on the North Ramp. He said the developer of the hotel wants to divide the property into two (2) separate parcels and enter into individual leases on each parcel. He then gave an update on the total number of passengers for the three (3) airlines. He reported that March would be the first full month that Breeze Airways, Jet Blue, and American Airlines would be operating. Airport – 1/23/26 Page 4 of 6

Mr. Canal asked if the flight schools have been notified of the Airshow schedule. Mr. Scher answered yes and they have started their initial coordination with the Flight Tower so that they know what to expect. By the end of January, they will provide the information to all the other users at the Airport. Mr. Scher continued reviewing his report on the airline passenger figures and monthly comparisons. Mr. Brandon Dambeck, Airport Operations Manager, reported that per the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) figures, in Class Delta Airspaces, Vero Beach Regional Airport was listed as the busiest Class Delta Airspace in the southeast region. In the United States, they are the sixth busiest Class Delta Airspace and in the State of Florida, they are the fourth or fifth busiest Airport in terms of operations. Mr. Scher reported that their Safety Management System program was approved by the FAA, so they are in compliance. Mr. Hodge asked if there have been any problems or concerns from the flight schools about the increase in the number of commercial aircraft. Mr. Scher said there is a concern, but not as it relates to commercial aircraft. The concern is the delay when the students taxi out. It has been reported that they can wait 30 minutes or longer. Mr. Hodge asked how are they enforcing the new short-term parking. He asked if they are ticketing violators. Mr. Scher said they have been ticketing violators and one (1) person was towed from the short-term parking lot. Dr. Fries said that he has noticed the amount of time to take off has increased by at least 15 minutes. He said there are things they can look at in the taxiing procedures to improve that. B) Airport Construction Schedule This item was discussed with item 7-A). 8. CHAIRMAN’S MATTERS Mr. Hodge asked for an update on Aviation Boulevard and the car parking situation. Mr. Scher explained that they were directed to go out for a request for proposals (RFP) for car parking, which will delay the project from the original schedule. They are working with their consultant to make sure everything is included in the RFP. Airport – 1/23/26 Page 5 of 6

Mr. Scher said that, as far as Aviation Boulevard, he knows the City requested the County to bump it up in the queue. Mr. Dambeck reported that they have seen some survey and geotechnical work being done for the design. They have also seen the airspace evaluations for the equipment to do that, so they are seeing some progress on the design of Aviation Boulevard. He believes that the County has this project listed as fifth and sixth on their priority list. 9. MEMBER’S MATTERS Mr. Canal reported that the Experimental Aircraft Association flew 130 Young Eagles in 2025, even with three (3) of their events being canceled due to bad weather. He said that five (5) of those students have now entered flight school. Dr. Fries suggested that the Airport Commission consider rescheduling their July and October meeting because those dates conflict with the two (2) largest General Aviation meetings that he and many people will be attending. Mr. Hodge said that he would consider it, but they also have to remember that the Council Chambers is also reserved for many other meetings. Personally, he would like to keep the meetings as they have been scheduled, but they could consider changing them if they have a conflict. 10. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS A) Florida Sunshine Law and Public Records Presentation Mr. Turner gave a Power Point presentation on the Florida Sunshine Law and Public Records (attached to the original minutes). Mrs. Jordan asked what is the time frame for public records for the Airport. Mr. Turner said there are timeframes based on the types of documents, but if they have any questions they should contact the City Clerk or the City Attorney. 11. NEXT MEETING DATE A) April 24, 2026 The next Airport Commission meeting is scheduled for April 24, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., in the City Hall, Council Chambers. 12.
