A copy of the schedule will be posted on Airport Authority's website. 1of3 • Everglades Airpark Update The Air Cam Owners Association held its annual fly -in on November 16-18. The taxiway extension project is fully designed and ready to go out to bid, once the FAA approves the recently submitted updated ALD. Construction is expected to take approximately thirty (30) days. It is anticipated that the runway will be closed for about seven (7) days during the construction. The addition of a seaplane dock is still on the ALP. However, the project is not funded at this time and the required environmental work will be extremely expensive. The Runway is currently rated as being in "poor" condition by FDOT, and will need resurfacing in the near future. Runway safety areas improvements will be required at that time. Three possible options for enhancing the Runway safety areas were presented and discussed. • USDA Building Update Substantial progress has been made since last month's meeting. Construction is still on schedule to be completed by mid -late December 2012. Salazar Machine & Steel is scheduled to move into the facility on January 1, 2013. • IMM Update Approximately one hundred twenty -one (121) children from Highlands elementary school visited the Immokalee Airport on November 9, 2012. Phase II environmental permitting is done. The Airport Authority has received an electronic sign -off, and is awaiting a formal approval letter. South Florida Water Management District has accepted all the open storm water certifications, which will allow continued development of the airport. All the necessary work was completed in- house, saving a substantial amount of money. T- hangar inspections will be conducted in mid January 2013. The airport has been getting busy, and has experienced an increase in flight school activity. 7. Director's Report Advisory Board action is requested on items under this section of the Agenda. • 2013 Rates and Charges Action: Mr. Byerhof made a motion to recommend that the BCC approve the proposed 2013 Rates and Charges for the Marco Island Executive Airport, Immokalee Regional Airport, and Everglades Airpark. Mr. Geng seconded, and the motion was approved by a 6 -1 vote, with Mr. Crews dissenting. • Amended T- hangar Agreement Action: Mr. Murray made a motion to recommend that the BCC approve the amended t- hangar agreement. Mr. Halas seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 2 of 3 Gulf Coast Design (formerly Architectural Products) Facility Agreement Gulf Coast Design, formerly Architectural Products, is about 5 -6 months behind on its rent. Gulf Coast Design has agreed to pay an additional $500 per month on its rent until it becomes current. There currently are no other potential tenants for the facility. The company has a fairly good payment history with the Airport Authority, and employs 12 individuals. Action: Mr. Byerhof made a motion to recommendation that the BCC approve that Gulf Coast Design pay an additional $500 per month until it catches up with it past due balance. Mr. Halos seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. • Revision to Accident /Incident Report Action: The Advisory Board unanimously agreed that the "Accident /Incident" in -house record keeping form used by the Airport Authority to document accidents and /or incidents be re- titled to "Record of Events /Occurrence" in order to eliminate the words "accident /incident ", which hove specific definitions in FARs. 9. Public Comments. Ms. Mayhood recommended consulting the County Attorney regarding the treatment of Gulf Coast Design's past due balance to avoid setting a precedence or potential future discrimination claims. The Airport Authority has consulted with the County Attorney, and the Advisory Board indicated that it is not setting a precedent. This will be a negotiated agreement, and each such incident will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis. 10. Next Meeting. The next Advisory Board meeting is on Monday, January 7, 2013 at the Marco Island Executive Airport. 11. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 2:20 p.m. without objection.
