Staff also asked the Collier County Sheriff's Office and the County Facility Security Department to perform independent security assessments of all the County airports. The staff is now in the process of integrating these assessments to develop the Collier County Airport Authority Security Plan for each airport, starting with the Immokalee Regional Airport. The goal is to complete this plan before the end of the year. 139 eertification Program .

Emergency Response Plan r(;/ .{ ~ -~""'--~"'--- My report will consist of an update of our strategic business plan covering. fiscal years through 2008. This plan shows that the Collier County Airport Authority will reduce its reliance on General Fund Transfers, but the need for support will not be eliminated within the five-year time frame. The average annual transfer in this five-year business plan is projected to be $756,680. This reduction from $940,000 is attributable to operating efficiencies and a greater leveraging of capital grants. Self-sufficiency is the ultimate goal for the Authority. Even though a realistic and pragmatic assessment of the next five years shows that it is not achievable within that time frame, it will still remain central to the Authority's long-term vision. H' Igschmidlllr2004lspeech/orbccworkshop5 /804. doc The conclusion has been reached that operational efficiency and grant leveraging can significantly reduce the reliance on transfers, but they cannot eliminate them. The elimination of the need for General Fund Transfers will eventually come from the development of the Immokalee Industrial Park. When the Industrial Park is sufficiently developed, revenue derived from income-producing facilities will offset and eventually eliminate the need for General Fund Transfers. The goal of this marketing push is to draw from amongst these companies a suitable tenant or tenants for the new cargo processing facility at Immokalee. This 9,700 square foot facility will consist of 2,500 square feet of office space, capable of accommodating the support requirements of U.S. Customs, LN.S. and the Department of Agriculture for a Federal Inspection Station (F.LS.) necessary to activate the airport's port of entry status for air cargo operations.
