VII. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
The Executive Director discussed the following items:
Immokalee Airport Brownfield Desination. Information regarding Brownfields and the
Immokalee Regional Airport Brownfield designation was provided to the Authority. This
generated discussion regarding the possible negative vs. positive impacts of such a designation.
The Executive Director recommended that Resolution 08-30 regarding the Immokalee Regional
Airport Brownfield designation be tabled until additional information is provided in order for the
Authority to determine if the potential negatives associated with such a designation outweigh the
potential benefits. It was suggested that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection be
invited to speak about the issue at an Authority meeting.
USDA Grant Pre-Application. The USDA has responded that the Authority's pre-application
project is eligible for funding,and requested that the Authority submit a formal application. If the
Authority is awarded the$495,000 grant and builds the proposed 20,000 square-foot
manufacturing facility, it must rent out the facility at Fair Market Rent.
Legal Issue. The Authority agreed unanimously to defer any inquiries or information requests
regarding the impending legal issues with a tenant at the Immokalee Regional Airport to the
County Attorney's office.
Everglades Airpark. The Authority is working with the South Florida Water Management
District to obtain the necessary pennit(s)to complete the south taxiway. A meeting is scheduled

demolition of the Sheriffs dwelling and T-hangar building.
