1. 3 Steps Toward Our BOCC Recommendations
1. Identify Key Community Values that Apply to Our Airport
2. Express Values as Directions and Goals
July Continuum Exercises: Commercial Enplanements, Air Quality, Noise
Future Goal Setting: Commercial Service Range, GA Operations, User Experience, Ground Connectivity, Architecture & Design
3. Use Directions and Goals to Guide Our Specific Airport Recommendations
The Bedrock… Constant Information Gathering 

2. Constant Information Gathering
Feb. 21 — Intro to ASE Vision Process
Mar. 20 — FAA Requirements
May 7 — Regional Growth Trends & Air Service Industry Trends
June 6 — Airspace Safety
Today — Airline Perspectives on ASE Air Service
Next — Research Assignments to ASE Groups (Strategic Questions)
Autumn — Future of Aviation Symposium

3. Directions AND GOALS SO FAR (Expressing values as directions and goals)
Commercial Enplanements: Limited Growth (~.8%)
Noise: Substantial Reduction
CO2 and Other Air Pollution: Substantial Reduction
So far, we've established three principal planning directions and goals for our future airport. 1. 2. 3.
These are expressions of the Community Values that we identified together on April 29.
In future excises, we'll identify additional goals based on those same values.

4. Immediate Next Steps Strategic Questions for ASE Groups to Research…
“Fleet mix” needed for Commercial Enplanement, Noise, and Air Pollution Goals?
What might our future airport look like in terms of safety and design?
What would a “Warm, Welcoming & Comfortable” terminal look like?
How could we create more “Convenient & Easy Ground Transportation”?
How does the airport fit into the community?

7. Next Steps Working Groups
At our last meeting we identified additional questions and Continua that will be answered and completed to inform a final recomended vision for the airport -- John Bennet mentioned some of these during his opening comments:
Commercial Service Range,
GA and commercial Operations,
User Experience,
Ground Connectivity,
and Architecture & Design.
We are at a point in the process now, where we are going to ask each of the working groups to focus on their specific areas of concern, and take a deeper dive to inform and provide the vision committee with both analysis and recomendations to inform a final recomendation.
I’m going to spend a few minutes describing what each working group will focus on next:

8. Technical Working Group:
What workable options exist for our future airfield?
How could the existing or future "fleet mix" meet the air pollution reduction, limited enplanement growth, and noise abatement goals recently established by the ASE Vision process?
In light of those community goals, what does the future airfield look like in terms of safety and airport design?
What are the implications of the status quo VS Airport Design Group II VS Airport Design Group D-III)? Could any variations exist within these design groups — such as landing speeds, aircraft weight, etc. — that might help us attain our community goals?
How could our future airfield be as green and carbon neutral as possible?
Examples of information that the group will be looking at:
-The value statements and continua exercises that define what we are trying to achieve.
-The 2019 aviation activities forecast, including GA and Commercial forecasts of aircraft operations for both commercial and GA aircraft, projected enplanement numbers.
-Group II and Group III aircraft that have the performance characteristics to operate in and out of ASE, and metrics as they relate to community goals (noise, emissions, passenger enplanements, number of operations, etc.)

9. Experience Group: Based on our values, our goal of limited
enplanement growth, and our goal to reduce CO2 and other emissions, what would a warm, welcoming and comfortable terminal look like?
How could it best “fit” the community?
What are our terminal and landside options?
How could our building size, function, number of gates, etc. best reflect our values, planning directions and goals?
Examples of information the Airport Experience group will be looking at:
-The value statements and continua exercises that define what we are trying to achieve.
Recommended design criteria for each of the functional areas of the terminal and landside areas (parking, etc.) to serve the targeted enplanement numbers (around 0.8% enplanement growth)
Turnaround around times for gates (how many aircraft can be served by a gate in a day), and what number of gates would result in the targeted growth in commercial enplanements.
Terminal and landside layout options.

10. What’s the big-picture role of the Airport in our Community?
Community Character:
What’s the big-picture role of the Airport in our Community?
How will our future Airport fit the ASE Vision values and the civic goals of the Aspen/Pitkin County community?
How should these values and goals inform planning for future operations of both General Aviation and Commercial service?
The Community Character Group will be recommending what values and characteristics any future project at the airport should reflect and balance. These statements from the Community Character committee will serve as a lens for the Airport Vision Committee to use when making final recommendations to the Board of Commissioners.
Examples of information the Community Character Group will look at include:
-The value statements and continua exercises that define what we are trying to achieve.
The Aspen Area Community Plan and other community and area plans (Snowmass Village, Caucus Master Plans, etc. that inform broader community values.

11. Focus Group: How can we improve airport connectivity?
What would more convenient and easy ground transportation to and from the airport look like?
How can we enhance multi-modal transportation options and create seamless connectivity to transit?
How does the Airport fit into the broader surface transportation network of Aspen, Pitkin County and the Roaring Fork Valley?
Sample of background information that will be examined include:
The upper valley mobility study
The Aspen Institute Community Forum Report and recommendations for transportation.
The Record of Decision for the Entrance to Aspen

12. Scheduling: Vision Committee – August 26
Working Groups – Your facilitator will be reaching out this week to find a meeting time and location that works best for majority of the group before the next All Group Meeting
Future All Group Meeting Dates September 18 – Aspen Meadows October 2 – Aspen Meadows November 13 – Aspen Meadows
More meeting dates with respective working groups TBD.
