a report identifying the changes required to the Airport Authority
ordinance and/or the administrative code to restructure the Airport
Authority to operate similar to the operation of the Community
Redevelopment Agency Board's advisory committees.
Mrs. Winona Stone, Assistant to the County Manager, will
present.
MS. STONE: Good morning, Chairman Coyle and
Commissioners. Winona Stone, Assistant to the County Manager.
Item lOB is a draft ordinance amendment on the changes
required to your Airport Authority ordinance and/or administrative
code to restructure the authority to separate similar to the operation of
your two CRA boards' advisory committees.
Last December you directed staff to immediately begin the
search process for a new Airport Authority executive director.
Attachment A in your packet is the recruitment plan and timeline that
we're currently operating under, and Attachment B is the position's
classification, specifications, listing the job duties and minimum
.
reqUIrements.
Secondly you directed staff to work with the County Attorney's
Office to amend the authority's administrative code to require the
authorities to submit the top three candidates to you for final approval.
The County Attorney's Office has opined that the administrative
code does not require a revision for that to occur. So you have that
authority anyway.
This executive summary includes a table listing the powers of
your current Airport Authority Board as compared to those of your
powers acting as Community Redevelopment Agency Board.
In the draft ordinance amendment, we reflected changes that
would need to occur in the ordinance. Some primary ones are that the
Board of County Commissioners would serve as the governing board
of the Airport Authority, that we would provide for the creation of an
Airport Authority Advisory Board, and that the Airport Authority

executive director would report directly to and serve directly under
you as the Board of County Commissioners.
Jennifer White, your assistant county attorney, is available to
answer any specific questions you might have on the draft ordinance
amendment and also, additionally, I believe Mr. Dave Gardner with
the Airport Authority was appointed yesterday at their meeting to
represent them during today's agenda item. So if you have any
questions of me, of course I'll be glad to answer those, too.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, thank you. Who was first,
Commissioner Henning?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. And then I was second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Commissioner Henning?
COMMISSIONER HENNING: Yeah, I like the proposed draft
ordinance. Thank you, Winona, very much. I think it's -- we're
elected to make decisions, and this brings some of those decisions to
the Board of Commissioners. So I think that's important to do so.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, thank you. We have a motion by
Commissioner Henning.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: And a second by Commissioner Coletta.
Yes, Sue.
MS. FILSON: I have two speakers.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, very well. And Commissioner
Fiala, you're next.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'd like to hear the speakers first, if!
may,
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Turn your light back on then.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. And Commissioner Coletta, you
want to wait for the speakers?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Fine, yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioner Halas, you want to talk

now or later or both?
COMMISSIONER HALAS: I'd like to hear the other side of the
story before I make a determination what direction to go here.
C N COYLE: Okay. Then let's hear the two speakers.
MS. FILSON: Okay, Mr. Chairman. I have two speakers. The
first one is David Gardner. He will be followed by Marion (sic)
Courtright.
MR. GARDNER: Good morning. I've been selected to represent
the authority and speak to you about this, basically about the change
in the authority's structure.
First of all, let me talk a little bit about aviation, because I -- .
being a pilot, I love to talk about aviation. Airplanes are a little
different than other modes of transportation. They go, they stop, they
turn right, they turn left. Airplanes do all of that. They also go up and
they go down. And when they go down, hopefully they go down to an
airport.
Now, all of US, with the exception of two of our members, are
pilots. One an air transport pilot, and the rest of us general aviation
pilots. We've flown at every kind of airport there is, grass, dirt,
Chicago O'Hare to Everglades, for instance.
So we know what airports are, what they should be. We know
the good ones. We know the bad ones. And we've been -- I,
particularly -- I think it's been three years -- have been trying to make
our airports better than they previously were.
I'll give you just a brief thing about some of our people. One is a
corporate insurance and money management person. One is an
engineering consultant. One is in sales in aircraft and industrial
equipment. One is an air traffic management specialist. One is an
agricultural equipment specialist. One a financial management
consultant. Another, a construction CEO.
They were appointed by you folks. We were appointed because
of our expertise, of our qualifications to do what you want done as far

Agenda Item No. 17D

as making our airports better.
Work with agencies. Let's put it that way. When we get to the
point where, for instance, we have our taxiway -- and we want our
taxiway in the worst way. We need it. You're dealing with FDOT,
you're dealing with the FAA, you're dealing with probably NTSB, and
other agencies, plus, of course, all the darned environmental ones that
we had to contend with for seven years about a\ligators and so forth,
and they want to talk with people who are in aviation. They don't
want to talk necessarily with people who aren't.
I f you go to the FAA, they expect that you are somebody
involved in aviation before you come in the door and talk to them and
ask them for money or ask them for this, that, or the other thing. And
we are in aviation. We love it, we fly it, and we're pan of it.
Who would replace us if we are to be made associates or
anything else? Who would replace us? Would you replace us? You'd
have to, because you want to make the decisions directly. You got
time tor that? You've got an awful lot on your plate right now
handling the business of the county. Do you have the expertise in
that? And who would do the groundwork? Whose resources would
you take from?
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Your time has expired. Could you wrap
it up.
MR. GARDNER: Well, just a little.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MR. GARDNER: Okay. What I'm basically saying is, we are
there, we are at your service. We've -- weB, look at your airports.
Lock at them 20 years ago. Look at them 10 years ago. Look at them
today. And look at what our future plans are at Marco Island, at
Immokalee.
And us guys are the guys who have researched and said yes and
said no and expended the taxpayers' funds, we feel, in a very
responsible manner. And I think that we should be allowed and you

should be happy that we are willing to continue to do it. Incidentally,
we cost you this (indicating). Anybody that replaces us is not going to
cost you this (indicating).
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you very much, sir.
MR. GARDNER: You're welcome.
MS. FILSON: The next speaker is Marvin Courtright.
MR. COURTRIGHT: Good morning, Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Good morning.
MR. COURTRIGHT: My name is Marvin Courtright. I'm retired
U.S. Army aviator, 50 years in aviation maintenance, 55 years in
aviation flight, flight instructor, A&P, lA, OME, all of these fancy
names. None of them will get me a cup of coffee today. But J want to
tell you something, you've got the best Airport Authority Board right
now you have ever had. They're good, they're qualified, and they're
capable.
And if you look back over the years -- now, I was on the Airport
Authority when it was formed. This commission, not you, but in
particular, appointed me to it in '83. And there's been a lot of
problems and a lot of struggles.
But if you go back to '02 -- pardon me -- if you go back to '02
when we had this same problem again and there was all this in-house
fighting wanting to put the county in control of the airports and
disband the Airport Authority -- but they came around and they kept
the Airport Authority going. It was a good decision.
And if you change it now, my personal opinion is, you're making
a mistake. Support your Airport Authority. Don't get involved in it in
the point where you're determining this and you're determining that.
Let the airport -- let the county manager do his job. Let the Airport
Authority do its job. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you.
Commissioner Fiala?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. Thank you for those speeches.

February 9, 2010
You know, until we, the BCC, interrupted the smooth flow -- the
smooth operation of the airports and the Airport Authority just
recently, things just -- things just functioned beautifully, and our
Airport Authority knew the people that they needed to communicate
with, they knew what they were -- how they needed to improve our
.
aIrports.
And I don't feel that we should be in the business of doing that. I
like the fact that they came to us when they had any concerns. I like
the fact that they would tell us what they were doing and give us
reports periodically so that we were updated on what was happening.
But I feel, why -- why fix it if it ain't broken? And I just -- I feel less
government, not more. I just -- I just think government gets into too
many things too often. I think we ought to leave it the way it is, and I
do not want to see it changed.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you.
Commissioner Coletta?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yes. Well, there's all different
perspectives to look at this, and one -- one of the most perfect
examples of a government operation that you could ever fmd is the
CRA that we have, both of the CRAs, especially the one at Bayshore,
who operates flawlessly with a tremendous advisory board, and the
one in Immokalee equally so. Those advisements are sent on to the
Collier County Commission at a regular public meeting, and probably
99.9 percent of everything that is passed on is approved at the
commission, but it's a form that the public can weigh in at whatever
time.
We're not replacing any advisory board. I mean, I hope no one
chooses to leave. But if you look at the record for the CRAs, both in
Immokalee and Bayshore, you're going to find that they serve a
tremendous valued purpose, their expertise is greatly valued, just as
yours is. And I hope that if this goes forward as the motion has been
made and is seconded, that every one of you stay on and become even
Page 45

more involved as we go through the process.
We are elected to be the overseers of everything that takes place.
We're supposed to be the final say that's there. The amount of time
that's going to lapse between what you're doing now and what we're
doing is negligible. Meetings take place every two weeks, and if we
ever had an emergency issue, we could call a special meeting, we've
done it before, or we use one of our other meetings we have to be able
to bring that issue forward.
So I fail to see how this wouldn't be a better benefit to the public.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you, Commissioner Coletta.
Commissioner Halas?
COMMISSIONER HALAS: I have to go along with
Commissioner Fiala. I don't think we -- government needs to get
involved in this. There's only one of us on this board that knows all
the principles of aviation, and I have a problem with micromanaging.
And I think they've done a good job. They being the Airport
Authority. And they've always come to us if they've ever had a
problem, and we can address emergency issues with the Airport
Authority, and I feel that if it isn't broke, don't fix it, and I don't think
it's broke. I think they did an outstanding job, and that's where I stay
on this thing is -- stand on this is that I appreciate all the time and
effort that people who've been in the military aviation, commercial
aviation, all their time and effort that they spend on this, along with all
the background people that are involved in this, whether they're in
business as far as accountants, bankers, or whatever else, they seem to
have done a good job for us in the past, and I wish them well, and I
hope that we can just leave well enough alone. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioner Henning?
COMMISSIONER HENNING: Well, Commissioner Coletta
pretty much straightened out the misstatements that were made here
today. You know, the -- I'm glad we have so much experience on
there and the vested interests. I think it's good to get advisor- --

advisory opinions from people who have vested interests, but we need
to do what's right for the community.
I am interested in economic development, and our airports are
very much a part of that. And I think the taxpayers elected me to be
the oversight of tax dollars. Collier County has done very well in
receiving tax-dollar grants, and those issues need to be decided here.
So I'm very much supportive of the amendment.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, thank you. I may as well weigh in
on this.
I don't understand how you developed -- and to the members of
the Airport Authority -- developed the opinion that we don't appreciate
what you do. You've done a wonderful job. That's not the point of any
ofthis.
One of the -- I guess the thing that exemplifies the interest in
making a change is the reporting relationship for the director of the
airports. That director is our employee, but the way it's set up is that
the Airport Authority can terminate that employee for cause on its
own authority. What other organization do we have here where a
board can terminate one of our employees without our consent?
That's -- it's just illogical, and I would be willing to bet that none of
the board members with aviation experience has ever worked in an
organization that does that.
It is not that we don't value your expertise. And it puzzles me
why you would even imply that you would not serve unless you have
that kind of authority . You serve because, I think, you want to make
the airports better, and that's what an advisory board does.
The advisory boards in Immokalee and here in this area, the mini
triangle and the adjacent area have done a wonderful job of getting
those community redevelopment areas moving forward, but they don't
have authority to hire and fire our employees.
Without those advisory board members, we wouldn't be as far
ahead as we are, and without you, we wouldn't be as far ahead as we

are. And why on earth would you think about not serving when we
want to make a structural change that makes the reporting
relationships a little more sensible?
So I apologize, number one, if you've developed the idea that we
don't appreciate what you do. It has nothing to do with that. And we
sincerely hope -- however this motion goes, we sincerely hope that
you'll continue to serve the airports of Collier County.
As a pilot for over 50 years, I also want to make sure that the
airports are preserved and that they're expanded and that they're made
better for the public. And I don't want to lose any of you from the
airport because of a structural change in the organization. We still
need your expertise and your involvement. And we have proof that it
works very, very well in other areas of our community.
So with that, is there any other discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Then I'm going to call the question. All
in favor of the motion to accept the change in the ordinance as
proposed and outlined by the county attorney, please signify by --
does somebody want to say something more?
MS. STONE: Commissioner Coyle, I believe you need to
advertise us to advertise the ordinance to come back to you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MS. STONE: It's not going to be complete today. We have to
come back with it and advertise it for the public to be able to
comment.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Well, I think Commissioner Henning's
motion was to support the recommendation and the recommended
ordinance.
COMMISSIONER HENNING: We're okay.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: So that's what we were going to vote on.
MS. STONE: Yes, sir.
