COMMISSIONER ITEMS/ COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
Local Preference Policy – Commissioner Hall spoke in favor of putting a policy in place for the
ranking of firms to be selected for County projects. Chairman Mann suggested bringing it up at a Board of County
Commission meeting and there was consensus that the ASMC and staff confer and come back to the Port Authority
Board with a policy recommendation. Commissioner Manning pointed out that Federal rules and regulations may
affect some decision-making, and Commissioner Bigelow pointed out several other areas to be taken under
consideration.
Monthly Flight and Seat Comparison Report – Commissioner Hall referenced the drop-off of capacity
Commissioner Judah on FDOT assuming responsibility for the mitigation of the I-75 Interchange, with access to the
airport between Daniels Parkway and Alico Road, and the possibility of FDOT giving the mitigation to Collier
installation of the new solar voltaic system at Page Field. Deputy County Attorney Greg Hagen responded to an
inquiry on whether the system can be brought to Southwest Florida Regional Airport. He and Development Deputy
Executive Director Mark Fisher advised that they would be putting out an RFP within 60 days, and would brief the
Board on the progress. Commissioner Bigelow requested additional information on the system.
Local Preference Policy – Commissioner Bigelow, referencing the task given to the ASMC on local
bidder preference, expressed a desire to turn the legislature’s latest ruling on costs not being a factor for consideration
Federal Project Monies – Commissioner Bigelow referenced two transportation projects – airports and
railways – identified by the President in his Jobs Act speech, and Mr. Ball responded to the question that he would be
the point person to put together a shovel-ready list of projects in the event Federal monies are made available.
