• 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.

Gulf Coast Design (formerly Architectural Products) Facility Agreement
Gulf Coast Design, formerly Architectural Products, is about 5 -6 months behind on its rent. Gulf

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.

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.
