[Call to Order]
WASHBURN. HERE. WHITE HERE. BIANCO. YES. RUDE. FIRST ACT IT UP. 2026. 3616. IT'S A APPROVAL[a. 2026-3616 – AIRPORT DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE: E. ARCURI RE: APPROVAL OF A THIRD AMENDMENT TO A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY, THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION, AND GRIFFISS INSTITUTE, INC. ]
OF A THIRD AMENDMENT TO A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION AND GRIFFITH INSTITUTE. GRIFFITH INSTITUTE IS LOOKING TO RENT 2178FT■!S OF HANGAR SPACE FOR A QUANTUM LAB. OKAY, SO ADDITIONAL REVENUE $17,915.44 PER YEAR. COMMISSIONER, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM? GO AHEAD. COMMISSIONER, THAT ADDITIONAL LAB SPACE.GRIFFITH'S INSTITUTE IS LIKE A CONDUIT, RIGHT? THEY'RE THEY'RE A FACILITATOR, AND DIFFERENT PARTIES USE THAT LAB AND NOT JUST ROAM LAB EITHER. IT'S OUTSIDERS THAT COME IN AND COLLABORATE, RIGHT? YEAH. SO THIS SPACE IS FOR THROUGH THE LAB FUNDING, THROUGH THE LAB TO BRING IN ANOTHER QUANTUM LAB INTO THE EAST BAY. SO THAT'LL BE TWO QUANTUM LABS IN THE EAST BAY, AND THEN THAT'LL BE OUR FUNDING STREAM. BUT THE MONEY HAS TO GO THROUGH THE GRIFFITH INSTITUTE TO GET TO US. AND THEN WE WE AMEND THEIR LEASE AND THEY PAY US NOW, THE SUPPLIERS OF THE EQUIPMENT AT QUANTUM LAB, IBM IS BIG INTO QUANTUM LABS. THERE'S D-WAVE.
THERE'S DIFFERENT COMPANIES THAT DO. QUANTUM DOES DOES GRIFFITH OR WHO PICKS OUT WHAT COMPANY ACTUALLY PUTS THE QUANTUM EQUIPMENT. IT'S ALL DIRECTED THROUGH THE LAB. OKAY.
LIKE I THINK IS THE, THE ONE THAT'S ALREADY UP AND RUNNING. YEAH. AND THEN THERE'S A NEW ONE COMING IN, BUT IT'S WHOEVER THE LAB IS, IS TEAMING UP WITH. YEAH, THAT'S WHO THEY BRING IN.
SO AND THE REASON THIS IS BIG IS I UNDERSTAND IT IS AI COULD BE AUGMENTED BIG TIME BY QUANTUM SUCH THAT DOWN THE ROAD AND QUANTUM IS REALLY STARTING TO TAKE OFF CALCULATIONS, WHETHER IT BE DEEP INTO SPACE OR WHATEVER CAN BE FIGURED OUT TO NO END. THERE'S ACTUALLY A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT THAT'S GOING ON ALREADY WITH QUANTUM THROUGH FIBER THAT'S AT THE AIRPORT, WHAT THEY CALL DARK FIBER THAT WE'RE NOT USING. AND THEY'RE TRANSFORMING, TRANSMITTING INFORMATION THROUGH THAT THAT'S WORKING. AND PLUS IT'S PART OF THE AIRFIELD AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO FLY QUANTUM ON A DRONE THROUGH THEIR INFORMATION. SO THERE'LL BE QUANTUM LIKE WIRELESS QUANTUM. BELIEVE ME, I'M NOT GOING TO GET IN THE WEEDS WITH QUANTUM BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT IT IS REALLY EXCELLING. I STOPPED OVER THERE THE OTHER DAY AND THEY'RE VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT'S GOING ON. AND IT'S JUST ANOTHER NEW LAB THAT THEY NEED. AND I THINK THE LAST POINT WOULD BE FROM MYSELF IS SIMPLY THAT QUANTUM IS ACCELERATING SO FAST, AS YOU SAY, THAT 3 TO 5 YEARS FROM NOW, WE MIGHT BE IN A WHOLE NEW PARADIGM SHIFT TO UPGRADE THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S OVER THERE. OH, YEAH. YES. YEAH. WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS 30 YEARS OUT IS NOW THEY'RE TALKING FIVE YEARS, FOUR YEARS. SO THAT'S HOW FAST IT'S PROGRESSING. EVERY SIX MONTHS THERE'S THERE'S LEAPS. YES, THAT. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. YEP. CHAIRMAN I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE THIS COMMENT. HE'S PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE AT THE TABLE WHO UNDERSTANDS WHAT QUANTUM IS. WATCH QUANTUM LEAP. THAT WAS DIFFERENT. AND YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE. I LIKE THE OLD ONE. 1987. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMISSIONER? HAVING NONE. WE'LL TAKE THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
THE DEW POINT. THANK YOU. IT HAPPENS TO ME, TOO. SO. THE NEXT THE NEXT STOCK IS 2026,
