E. If the facility will in any respect be used for commercial purposes including the
construction or for the construction or renovation of affordable housing, include
on a separate sheet in as much detail as is possible and on an item by item basis
the facts or circumstances which will allow the Agency to conclude that
1. The financing will induce the location,retention or expansion of the
project in the area it will serve.
To make the hangar suitable for its operations that reflects the
industry trend toward larger aircraft,Flexjet must raise the height of
the hangar doors to 27 feet in order to accommodate larger aircraft
that are currently in use and that are increasingly becoming.the
standard in aviation. Also,Flexjet will renovate and remodel
approximately 50% of the current office space that be converted into
a modern,technologically-advanced and upgraded lounge for
customer use. In addition, the company will implement other
improvements to make Hangar"F" into a modern, state of the art
facility that will reflect well on Westchester County. The financing
will defray expenses that would not be incurred by Flexjet if it
remained in Teterboro Airport or leased a hangar at HPN that did
not have condition issues that require significant capital expenditures
to correct and thus will facilitate the move from New Jersey to
Westchester County Airport.
I
2. The economic feasibility of the project will be seriously and substantially
impaired without the availability of financial assistance.
A substantial amount of Flexjet's capital investment at the airport is
required to repair, replace and/or make code compliant certain '
conditions that were identified in a thorough engineering inspection,
conditions that weren't apparent from a visual inspection by non-
engineering company personnel. Obtaining benefits from the
involvement of the IDA brings the project's costs more in line with j
what Flexjet would incur in competing locations.
3. To the extent the project serves a local market area,there is a recognized
and demonstrable need for the products or services the project will provide
in the project's market area.
A meaningful portion of Flexjet's customer base resides within 30 to
45 minutes of Westchester County Airport. Renovating and
modernizing Hangar "F"will entice more of Flexjet's customers to
use the more modern and technologically up to date facilities at the
C&F:2653679.2
County Airport instead of using competing airports in the region with
inferior facilities, particularly in cases where Westchester County
Airport is more convenient to where such customers live and work.
That additive consumer utilization provides an opportunity for
Westchester County to showcase all it has to offer to this important
consumer group that generally comprises decision makers,private
business owners and successful leaders in business and finance.
4. The project is compatible with and will significantly assist and enhance all
development plans for its area established formally or informally by local,
County, State and federal authorities.
Flexjet's business model encompasses providing a variety of high
quality services and experiences to a customer base that is primarily
successful self-made entrepreneurs,senior corporate executives and
retired executives with business and personal travel needs well served
by fractional aircraft ownership, aircraft leasing or use of a debit
jetcard. Customers experience an industry-leading level of service
from Flexjet staff and enjoy the comfort and safety of aircraft of
differing sizes and capabilities depending on the customer's needs and
requirements. As mentioned above, Flexjet will expand the customer
space and convert it into modern, technologically-advanced and
upgraded space for customer use. In addition,the company will
implement other improvements to make Hangar "F" into a modern,
state of the art facility that will reflect well on Westchester County
and satisfy what our customers have come to expect from Flexjet.
Westchester County issued a Request for Interest to the marketplace
eliciting interest in the re-use of Hangar"F". Flexjet responded with
a detailed submission that reflected the information in the
immediately preceding paragraph and was selected by the County
team involved in implementing the RFI process. Accordingly, it
would appear self-evident that, considering Flexjet was selected by the
County at the end of the RFI process, that Flexjet's plan to refurbish
and re-use Hangar"F" is consistent and compatible with the County's
plans for the Airport.
5. There will be no significant disruption of existing employment or
competitive facilities in the area in which the project is located.
There will be no disruption of existing employment or competitive
facilities in NYS or Westchester. Rather,jobs will be relocated from
out of state to Hangar "F". Flexjet will transfer 35 existing jobs from
Teterboro, NJ to Westchester County Airport upon completion of
construction of all improvements required by the RFI as well as
improvements required by Flexjet's business and operational needs.
Upon completion of construction and receipt of all permissions
necessary for Flexjet to commence operations at Hangar"F", the 35
positions now in Teterboro will be moved to Westchester County
C&F:2653679.2
Airport. The number of jobs will grow significantly at Hangar "F" as
set forth in the answer to question 6 immediately below.
6. The project will initially provide substantial employment, substantial
capital investment, and a substantial increase in the property tax base, and
be of a nature which demonstrates a substantial long-term commitment of
the beneficiary to the County and which makes it highly likely that the
substantial increase in employment, investment and tax base will continue
for at least fifteen (15) years.
In addition to the 35 new jobs being transferred to Westchester
County from New Jersey,Flexjet expects such employment positions
to grow by approximately 10% new positions each year over the next
2 to 3 years to 45 jobs. In addition to the 35 jobs being transferred
from New Jersey, 10 new positions will be created at HPN associated
with the large cabin program and those new positions will double to
20 jobs in the 2 to 3 years following commencement of operations at
HPN. Aggregating the transferred jobs and new jobs and factoring in
the growth in each category results in 65 transferred and new jobs
over the next 2 to 3 years.
7. The project is not of a speculative nature.
The project described in this application is not speculative in that
Flexjet incurred the time and money to respond to the County RFI.
The response stated an intent to enter into a lease for 30 years and to
invest approximately $5,000,000 of capital in repairs, replacements,
upgrades, code compliance,renovations and furniture, fixtures and
equipment. That investment will be made at a County-owned facility,
Hangar"F",that will be returned to the County at the end of the lease
term in better condition than Flexjet found it upon commencement of
the lease. Flexjet will move one of its most important maintenance
facilities in the US from New Jersey to HPN in New York State which
is a meaningful change for Flexjet and its customers. The level of
capital commitment and the lease term evidence a long-term
commitment by Flexjet to Westchester County and is not speculative
in any way.
F. Standard industrial classification number of activity to be carried on at the facility
(if known)
488190 Other Support Activities for Air Transportation
G. Describe the nature of the use (as indicated in D, E and F above)that is to be
made of the facility. Include a description of the products to be produced and the
t3' p P
market areas to be served. Indicate land acreage to be financed and the size of the
building to be acquired, constructed or renovated.
Flexjet will use Hangar "F" for aircraft maintenance of its own fleet as well
as additional aircraft of their affiliated "sister" companies including
hangaring aircraft between flights. Additionally,Flexjet will use Hangar"F"
CBF:2653679.2
for a customer lounge and office uses related to the administration of
Flexjet's large cabin fleet.

construction contracts, equipment orders)which have been entered into with
respect to the facility. Please note that the Agency may not finance any land
acquired prior to the adoption by the Agency of an inducement resolution.
No contracts have been entered into at this time.
H. For projects involving primarily the acquisition of an existing facility,please
indicate:
. the expected dates of acquisition
March 2015 [Note: Flexjet will not be acquiring Hangar "F" but rather
leasing it from Westchester County. It is expected that the hangar will be

technologies into the project scope, please explain the basis for such election.
C&F:2653679.2
Every effort will be made to use technologies that are compliant with current
energy efficiency standards and to implement green building elements where
it makes good sense in the renovating and retrofitting of the existing facility
that is Hangar"F". As part of the renovation of Hangar"F"Flexjet plans to
upgrade the current HVAC system to more energy efficient standards and
replace all hangar and site lighting with new energy-conserving LED lights.

consideration which has been given to locating in other states. Be specific and
detailed.
Currently Westchester County Airport represents Flexjet's third largest
location for customer arrivals and departures. We are interested in
enhancing our customer experience through a branded passenger lounge.
We are in the process of integrating the operations that support both the
Flexjet and Flight Options fleet. Projected growth includes introduction of a
program of large cabin aircraft offering Global and Gulfstream aircraft,
which will require a base of operations with sufficient size and amenities to
support the new program. Westchester County and HPN offer an ideal
location for the new program.
S. Please set forth any other information with respect to the company, its business or
the facility of which the Agency should be aware in evaluating this application.
Currently Flexjet's maintenance service needs at Westchester County
Airport are serviced by mobile repair crews out of Teterboro Airport. Our
strategy going forward includes expansion of our northeastern maintenance
facilities and locating them at Hangar "F" at Westchester County Airport.

Fleet Reports Strong Start To 201
AVIATION INTERNATIONAL NEWS-JULY 2013
Cyt, 3iATT THU"ER
J111V 2,2GJL3, 1:3;;A-'#1
Bombardier's Fle.det subsidiary reported a strong
;. 4D
first quarter, led by growth in new buyers as well
as higher levels of activity by emsting fractional-
- share,jet card and lease customers. In the first
quarter, new business was up 83 percent,
fractional share sales up io8 percent and jet card
sales up 48 percent over the same period last
rhe t ear jet 45s in FPe ers fi'eet u-dU be year. Sour flying is not only up iN ith all the new
rotated out in the coming yearsas s the
fractional provider takes d.etivery of its sales,"said Fle jet president Deanna IVIlite, "but
Learjet c? ;5s end Chagt'Ieng•er 3,5os.
also our existing customers are ramping up their
flying time. People are starting to open their wallets again."
To handle the growth, Flexjet has rehired furloughed pilots and plans to continue
ramping up to meet demand for the peak season beginning in November. 'I1re haven't
exhausted our furlough list yet, so we're bringing back pilots that we had previously
furloughed,"White said. While flying usually dips as summer approaches, she said in late
May that Flexjet hasn't seen a slowdown yet. 'As new business comes in the door,
obviously that brings more flying to us,"she said, adding that Flexjet's fleet will grow,
too, with the neer Learjet 7o/,75 joining later this year, as well as the new Challenger 350,
which iv-ill be added to the Flexjet fleet next year.
nViEe re going to have a mix of C350s and 300s] in the fleet,"she said. Flexjet has taken
four new 300s in the past year. "titre believe that having both is an option,because there's
a different price point for both. lVe've operated the Challenger Soo for io years and we
have expertise in that. We're excited for the 354 coining on board, .and all of our new
[Challenger] deliveries-,v-ill also be 350s."
All new jets in the Flexjet fleet will be equipped Avith Aircell's Gogo Biz air-to-ground
communications system. Previously, only the Challenger Sams and bogs/boss
were Aircell-equipped.
AiNonline
Ne-%v Aircraft In, Old Aircraft Out
Flexjet claims to have the youngest fleet in the fractional-share industry, so as newer
airplanes are added, older ones need to be disposed of. "It's an art and talent to transition
the old.aircraft out of the fleet and then bring on the new models,"I1'hite said. 'ANIe have
a strict schedule [for] how long we keep them in. It's going to happen over a fiv a-year
period." Learjet 40s and 45s and Challenger 3oos that are three to five years old A ill be
transitioned out as contracts expire. '� t one point we could have [Learjet] 40s/45s,
70s/75s, some Eos, some 85s, some [Challenger] 3005 and 350s, all of them in play while
we're trying to transition to the final fleet pian."
The fleet plan, however, doesn't include ultra-long-range jets such as Bombardier's
Globals because Flexjet's primary market is in Forth America. 'All of our jets can fly
internationally,"NNThite said,'but it's not a big piece of the business." Flexjet sees
customers flying on airlines to other countries then internally on business jets, and Flexjet
serves these customers with partnerships. Flexjet and VistaJet, for example, signed an
agreement in 2010 to provide seamless access for customers to fly on each company's
airplanes. INThite explained that eventually Flexjet could grow beyond those partnerships
to operate to other countries. Once we have that I could see introducing ultra-long-
haul airplanes."
Flexjefs internal forecasts suggest he increase activity there tti-ill continue. 'All indicators
are looking very well,"White said. "People need to do business, there's a lot of business
happening and I think our products help folks achieve their objectives."She added that
the economic downturn caused travelers to shop around for business jet services,but now
those buyers are returning to Flexjet, consolidating their business with one company.
"Iliat's what's driving a lot of our business,"she said.
mother positive factor for Flexjet is the variety of its product offerings, which include not
only fractional shares but also whole aircraft management, leases, on-demand charter
and jet cards (all charter trips are flown by Dallas-based charter operator Jet Solutions).
'1L7e have seen the market shift to less capital-intensive products,"White said, 'to more
products without long-term capital commitments, but-we provide all the different
solutions and we're seeing good activity in both [fractional and charter] arenas."One
change that has made a difference in activity levels is that in 2oi1, Flexjet created a debit
card model for jet cards. Instead of having to fly the purchased time within a specific
calendar time and u ith specific airplanes, the new jet card can be used for any airplane
type until the amount is used up. The new card can also be replenished at any time.
White joined Flexjet eight years ago and was appointed president last October. `"There are
a lot of great things going on,"she said. 'We believe that consumers in this market
understand this is a luxury product, and Flexjet wants to make sure that we're providing
the best value, aircraft and experience, and the most valuable business and pricing model
to go along with that."

TO BE PROVIDED BY PAUL GERARDI
WHEREAS,the Rye Brook Firefighters are required to complete 100 hours
of training per year to be reported to New York State;and
WHEREAS,Mr.Paul Gerardi,a certified fire training instructor,has
submitted a proposal dated March 3,2015 to coordinate the in-service fire training
program for the eight(8)Rye Brook Firefighters;and,
WHEREAS,approximately two(2)training days will be provided each
month,covering a variety of required subject areas,and will be conducted at the Rye
Brook Fire Department whenever possible.
NOW,THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,the Village Board of Trustees
hereby authorizes Mr.Gerardi to provide fire training administration and instruction
services for the Rye Brook Fire Fighters in accordance with the proposal dated
March 3,2015.
Rye Brook Fire Department
In-Service Training Proposal
Administration of Fire Training Program:
Paul Gerardi, a certified Fire Training Instructor,will be responsible for coordinating the fire training program for
the eight(8) Rye Brook firefighters. This will include the preparation of a fire training schedule, selection of
training topics, assignment of instructor(s), and the provision of written program materials needed for the Rye
Brook firefighters to have the opportunity to receive 100 hours of training per year per firefighter. All training
hours and classes completed will be reported to NYS either through the Village Administrator,the Port Chester
MTO, or through Mr. Gerardi.
Training Proposal
On average, 2 in-service training days per month will be held at Rye Brook Firehouse. One day will be provided
for each of the two Rye Brook groups. The training dates should be selected when the Rye Brook firefighter
groups have four firefighters on duty. Whenever possible, at least 30 days notice shall be provided to the Rye
Brook firefighters.
Over 90%of the in-service fire training hours will occur either inside or outside of the Rye Brook firehouse
located at 940 King Street when the Rye Brook firefighters are on duty. Overtime will not be required unless
hands-on training is required based on the topic(i.e. burning building at the Fire Training Center).
Sample training topics are attached to this proposal for reference. Each training day will normally consist of two
training topics (i.e. morning session:Vehicle Fires, afternoon session: Hybrid Vehicle Safety). Some days will
cover a single topic(i.e. morning session: Search & Rescue classroom, afternoon session: Search & Rescue hands
on). Each session on average will be approximately 4 hours in length.
On average classroom sessions will require 1 instructor with the exception being when theelass nclassroom
setting includes hands on such as ropes and knots, then 2 instructors will be required. As discussed we will
utilize any certified Rye Brook Firefighters as a second or third instructor if possible.
Fire Training Program Cost:
Administrative Fee: $300 fixed per month ($3,600 per year).
Instructor Fee: $30.00 per hour per instructor, not to exceed $8,400 for the year(avg. $700 per month).
Reporting:
All training will be tracked and a written monthly report to include topic information, hours per session,and
training attendance records supplied to Chris Bradbury,Administrator.
Severability:
This in-service fire training program can be terminated at any time by either Mr. Gerardi or the Village with
written notice to either party. Any termination would become effective on the first day of the month following
receipt of such written notice.
