V. FINANCE REPORT—JANUARY 2008
Ms. Mueller indicated that fuel sales have increased,however,so has the cost of fuel. On
October 1,2007,the Authority was paying$3.10 a gallon for Avgas. The cost as of today,
March 18,2008 is$3.80 per gallon. The cost of Jet-A fuel on October 1,2007 was$2.85 per
gallon,today it is$3.81 per gallon. Escalating fuel costs will likely have significant impact at
Immokalee and Everglades this summer. Everglades will probably need a load of fuel towards
the end of May,beginning of June,when fuel will likely be at its highest. The mix of fuel
sales is also changing. If the price of fuel at Marco is good,jets have been purchasing
additional fuel,taking advantage of the tiered pricing structure. As a result, more fuel sales are
being discounted.
In the financial statements,the combined statement includes administration costs that are not
apportioned to any of the airports.
Minor changes have been made to the 2009 Budget previously presented to the Authority. The
general fund transfer request has been increased approximately$12,500, from$565,400 to
$577,900. Currently, the Authority's general fund transfer request for 2009 is about four and
half percent (4.5%)lower than its 2008 request,which falls well within the County Manager's
budget instructions to all departments to decrease their general fund transfer request for 2009
by two percent(2%)from the previous year. No action required.

Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)Forecast Conference. The FAA forecast essentially
mirrors the economy and the Authority's forecasts. Very Light Jet(VLJ)traffic is forecasted
to increase annually by five percent(5%),commercial domestic air traffic is expected to remain
relatively flat, and international air traffic is expected to increase by about five percent(5%).
Employee Issue. The Airport Authority worked with Human Resource and Legal to take
appropriate action to terminate employment of an individual on the condition that that
individual did not present a valid Drivers License at a certain place by a specified date. It
appears the employee's Drivers License expired in 2005.
Aviation Safety Audits. All three Collier County Airports were recognized by Phoenix
Aviation Managers,Inc.,the Authority's insurance carrier,for their"Aviation Safety
Excellence."
Meeting at Town of Ave Maria. The Authority will try to hold its October 2008 or November

Agriculture office has submitted its recommendation for approval of the$495,000 grant
application to fund a portion of the manufacturing facility for Salazar Machine&Steel, Inc.
The County Attorney's office has suggested that the Florida Army National Guard(National
Guard)sub-lease agreement,and the Airport Authority's standard lease agreement,be revised
to make them less cumbersome. The Authority will work with the County Attorney's Office
and Real Estate Services to develop a standard lease agreement for the Authority. The
Authority is waiting to hear from Collier Enterprise regarding the preservation of land for the
extension of Runway 9/27. A copy of Collier Enterprises' comments regarding the URS

substantially complete.

architect and the Airport Authority to review his references and qualifications. In addition to
uP tY q
the$450,000 received from the insurance company for this project,it appears additional funds
may be available from FEMA. The amount of funding available from FEMA needs to be
verified. The reconstruction of the T-hangar building is expected to be completed in
December 2008. All contractors on the County contract list will be receiving the specifications
for replacing the security building.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
Ms. Cook distributed sample performance evaluation forms,suggesting that the Collier County
Airport Authority use the Naples Airport Authority's Executive Director performance
evaluation form as a starting point,and that she and the Board establish the goals. The Board

accomplishments at least one month prior to her evaluation.
