One of the new restrooms includes an adult changing table, which Ho said had been requested by passengers and improves accessibility.

Ho said the airport launched the Sunflower hidden‑disabilities program in April to provide a discreet way to identify travelers who may need extra assistance. She reported positive early feedback from the program’s rollout and related promotions.

Ho also announced internal promotions: Anna was promoted to maintenance mechanic lead and Andre was promoted to maintenance supervisor. Commissioners congratulated the promoted staff and praised the airport team for operational performance during a recent FAA inspection.

Provenance: Director Ho’s remarks about restrooms, the sunflower program and staff promotions occurred during the director’s report segment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boise Airport Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The airport opened federally funded family restrooms, launched the Sunflower hidden‑disabilities program and promoted two maintenance staff to supervisory roles, Director Ho reported to commissioners.","taxTitle","Boise City, Boise, Ada County, Idaho","taxId",8706,"location","Idaho","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6565913,"Boise Airport reports passenger growth, discrepancy‑free FAA inspection and Real ID rollout; fuel and parking rate changes to go to City Council",79,893000,972000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212157-a9b3dd0fab4fdd7aa3a70250e8884670&start=893&end=972","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212157-a9b3dd0fab4fdd7aa3a70250e8884670/thumbnail_893000.jpg","/articles/6565913/Idaho/Boise-Airport-reports-passenger-growth-discrepancyfree-FAA-inspection-and-Real-ID-rollout-fuel-and-parking-rate-changes-to-go-to-City-Council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6565913-1e17b392199f5e4d2eb9843ef3c1fdef/orig.mp4?Expires=1771165024&Signature=YOXbT0ePnardIiUHBEZpZTzyWVoGix28xs8kVcjtj7hpNvBRRNq00GNEjOq8yMDQ8J~uCFBEGViOd26jxOXgCArP4HKxShlRHv1D0RP6K8NVUx-byzaiswQTVdQH3WETK9NDwiAAhLLqCTBMSdqwYb9B0iRpA4QujUmbQehhfDyF5w0-RGsM11TMO7-qwD9H6hlIjWtYHgkwyHV3XvAhTxjkBYZ~2pETM6SclcIl~r0gVeozTu68M7BOiDkNmobRMi9BhfbHCnhla4Tl0J0eWB6KRZ~sVOO-u12xH7kM~W9LvfFNRWPDc~vqWW~XtiITq6yZptnESnM6nGVPhXdcoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Boise City Airport Director Ho told the Airport Commission on May 7 that passenger traffic is up 9% year to date and that the airport recently passed a comprehensive three‑day Federal Aviation Administration inspection with no discrepancies.

Ho said the airport has contingency plans in place for the federal Real ID rollout that day and reported operations at Boise appeared to be running smoothly in coordination with TSA and law enforcement. She described a separate screening lane and additional TSA staffing for passengers who require extra screening because their state identification is not Real ID–verified.

The commission also heard that Frontier Airlines will return to Boise on May 15 with three weekly flights to Denver. Ho said that will bring Boise’s carrier count to 10.

On finances, Ho told the commission staff will forward proposed adjustments to rates and charges to Boise City Council for fiscal year 2026. She said the airport plans to increase the fuel flowage fee by three cents per gallon — the first increase since 2007 — to better align with peer airports. Ho also said staff will propose parking‑rate adjustments intended to encourage use of different parking products during peak periods. Final adoption of rate changes will be decided by City Council.

Ho explained concession revenue was down in the most recent accounting period due to a year‑end true‑up with a retail concession operator and that construction and remodel closures will further affect concession sales while projects are underway.

The update covered several projects: the consolidated rental-car facility (Level 6 complete), the steel structure of the terminal connector between the terminal and the new rental facility, and framing of the customer service building. Ho said the rental-car facility is expected to reach its highest point in June and that the construction manager at risk (CMAR) selection process will include four day‑long interviews next week with contract negotiations planned for June and July.

Ho said the airport has started conceptual and schematic design for a new concourse. She named Ventress as the airport architect and Jacobs as the owner’s representative and project manager, assisting with schedule, budget and CMAR interviews. On passenger boarding bridges, Ho said two responsive bids were received and that the procurement and design process will continue this summer.

The commission also heard about airfield projects in construction season: the East de‑ice apron expansion (work began in April; Ho said completion is expected in September), a Concourse A apron that will add three overnight aircraft parking spaces, and a general‑aviation access road on the east side of the airfield to serve three planned private hangars (work began in April and is expected to finish by June). Routine upgrades to vehicle gates and snow fencing began in April; gates are expected to be completed in early July.

Ho said the airport will update its master plan to guide development over the next 20 years, with stakeholder groups for general aviation, rental cars, airlines and the community. The last master plan was completed in 2019 and many projects identified there are already complete or under way. Ho described the master‑plan update as an important tool to locate utilities, ground transportation and other systems needed to support a new concourse.

Finally, Ho said staff will issue an RFP in early June for two aeronautical development sites on the far southeast side of the airfield, east of the new ITD hangar and below the SkyWest hangar. One parcel totals about 5.5 acres; staff intend to maximize build‑out and will select proposals that best meet airport needs.

Commissioners asked for clarifications on site locations and timing; Ho responded that more information will be available to the commission by the August meeting (the commission does not meet in July).

Provenance: Director Ho’s construction, master plan and aeronautical development remarks began in the transcript at the start of the director’s report and continued through the discussion of the RFP and site locations.","Airport staff updated the commission on terminal and airfield construction, bidding for passenger boarding bridges, selection of a construction manager at risk and a planned RFP for aeronautical development parcels.","actionData","errors"]
