Referencing several portions of the
Agenda backup information
(copy on file in the Minutes Office), Development
Deputy Executive Director Mark R. Fisher reviewed the primary points of contention surrounding this item and
summarized possible options for resolution. Commissioner Judah moved to approve staff’s recommendation (Option
#1), which failed due to lack of a second. Following a short discussion, Commissioner Manning moved approval of
Option # 3 amended to expand the number of contracts from 3 to 8, seconded for discussion by Commissioner Mann.
During the ensuing dialog between the Board and Committee members, several of the Board members expressed
discomfort with that choice, predominantly due to impacts of having an increased number of contracts. Following
statements from Committee members Baggot and Andress that the Committee’s preferred position was no change to
the process, Commissioner Manning withdrew his motion. Commissioner Hall then moved to approve Option #1,
amended to reduce the 5 year contract term length to 3 years (with no option for extension) and to expand the number
of continuing contracts from 3 to 6, seconded for discussion by Commissioner Manning. After further discussion
Commissioner Hall suggested a dedicated workshop on the subject and withdrew her motion. Commissioner Bigelow
moved to approve Option #2 amended to include expanding the number of continuing contracts from 3 to 8, seconded
for further discussion by Commissioner Mann. Additional discussion regarding the merits of leaving the policy in
place for further in-depth discussion via a Joint Workshop resulted in Commissioner Bigelow withdrawing his motion.
Commissioner Hall moved to approve leaving the current policy in place and scheduling a Joint Workshop between
the ASMC and the BoCC for discussion dedicated to further examination of the policy itself prior to any other
contracts being released, seconded by Commissioner Judah, called and carried.

COMMISSIONERS' ITEMS/COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
PILOT PARKING FEE – Commissioner Hall mentioned that she had received several requests to look
into the reasoning for higher parking fees being charged to pilots who are residents here in Southwest Florida, but not
‘based’ here at RSW by the Airlines employing them. Executive Director Robert M. Ball stated they were categorized
as ‘non-based aircrew’ by the Airline, not the Port Authority; and that they were paying the non-employee rate of
$2.00 per day. Airports Special Management Committee Chairman Baggot offered to look into the matter.
Chairman Mann thanked the ASMC for their efforts and patience on the recent contentious issues that
have been brought before them.
There were no appointments made by individual Commissioners.
The Chairman of the Airports Special Management Committee had no items for discussion.
