(L)
Ms. Cook and Joan Yasharian,EDC,provided updates on Salazar Machine&Steel,Inc,Kishor
Vaghela, and the Florida Army National Guard(National Guard). Salazar has been through the
EDC business assistance program,and has been awarded a variety of incentives. Ms.
Yasharian pointed out that because EDC incentives are performance based,the EDC does not
necessarily need evidence of funding. Funding has taken longer than anticipated,but she is
confident it will come through.
Kishor Vaghela,through Commission Coletta's office,expressed interest in locating at the
Immokalee Tradeport. Mr.Vaghela has been contacted several times regarding his business
plan,which he offered to provide. The bid process for commercial development is on hold
until Mr.Vaghela responds to these inquiries.
The National Guard recently signed a lease for temporary space at TMI near the airport and is
working out details for the parking of National Guard vehicles at the airport. They are seeking
approximately three(3)acres on the airport for vehicle parking. Because the National Guard
does not pay rent,the BCC needs to approve any sub-lease agreement with them that would
reduce the Authority's debt to the BCC by the Fair Market Value of the rent in lieu of rent
payments from the National Guard.
Marco Island Executive Airport. An appraisal on land near the airport to extend the parking
lot has been requested. The Aircraft Apron design is completed. The engineers' estimate for
construction is$1,229,000. The combined total for the aircraft apron construction,and the
design and construction of the taxiway is approximately$5 million.
Everglades Airpark. The T-hangar construction is expected to be completed by October,2008.
Mitigation at Rookery Bay is being considered for the portion of the taxiway not yet completed.
