Mr. Amunds opened the floor for public comment.
Mr. Reddoch Williams, 251 Beachview Drive in Fort Walton Beach,
noted that he also owns property at Sky Park Estates. He
advised that he is a physician and commercial pilot..- Mr.
Williams felt the new regulations are unnecessary and based on a
Elawed study.
Mr. Jerry Schultz, 1507 Sky Ranch Lane in Baker, expressed
concern about the language applied to “Airparks” and “Private
Airports.” He posed questions about flight instruction and
aircraft maintenance, noting that both could be construed as
commercial activities.
Mr. Amunds asked if the individuals in the audience would be
willing to sit down “one on one” with staff next week to discuss
these issues. Mr. Schultz answered, “Absolutely. I think that
is a wonderful idea.” Mr. Harris suggested contact be made with
anyone having a runway on his property to participate in those
discussions.
Mr. Gregg Costabile, 1472 Vincent Ray Road in Baker, stated he
has discovered some inconsistencies with what the commissioners
have and the pdf files which were sent out. A sheet was given
to the commissioners on possible alternative language. He
thanked the Board for the opportunity to meet with staff.
Mr. Williams stated there is a wealth of experience in their
group of aviation professionals. He assured the Board they are
on the same page with regard to keeping the public safe.
Mr. Boyles said the handout is short and sweet and the group has
made some reasonable recommendations. Upon inguiry by Mr.
Boyles, Mr. Kampert replied that he received a copy and concurs
but he feels it is important to discuss the commercial language.
He suggested the individuals present for this hearing meet with
staff in the anteroom immediately following the public hearing
to exchange contact information and suggested interested
individuals meet with staff next Monday or Tuesday.
Mr. Amunds closed the public hearing.

enterprise department budgets for the coming fiscal year is set
for Wednesday, July 17 at 6 p.m. in Crestview. He asked for
consideration in rescheduling this workshop to July 16.

the 18%" to the 17. He reported that he has set a town hall
meeting for July 16 at 6:30 p.m. Mr. Parisot asked the reason
for changing the date. Mr. Amunds replied that he will be
traveling out of town the next morning. Mr. Boyles was of the
opinion it was unfair to ask Mr. Parisot to cancel or reschedule
his town hall meeting.
