BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: January 7, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Sunil Harman SUBJECT: Aviation Advisory Committee Replacement DEPARTMENT: Airport BCC DISTRICT: All STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Aviation Advisory Committee (AAC) has submitted a nominee for a vacant at large position on the Committee, due to the death of one member, and this nomination is being presented to the Board of County Commissioners for approval. BACKGROUND: The Aviation Advisory Committee is comprised of eleven members. The Committee has a vacant position due to the death of the former Chairman, Mr. Stanley Bloyer who perished in an airplane accident in March 2013. Mr. Frederick Carnes has notified the Airport that he is interested in becoming a member and has provided his resume. The Aviation Advisory Committee met on May 30, 2013 and the discussion of a new member was on the agenda. Mr. Carnes' resume was reviewed and the Committee voted unanimously to add him to the Committee with the Board of County Commissioners' approval. Mr. Carnes' nomination was previously submitted to the Board on July 16, 2013 and was withdrawn due to the Board's requested rewriting of the AAC policy. The next meeting is scheduled for February 27, 2014 and although no tall structures projects have been submitted for review currently, we plan on holding the meeting to introduce new members and to review the new AAC policy that was approved by the Board on November 19, 2013. Also, this meeting will include a briefing of the Sunshine Laws by the County Attorney. Attached you will find the new AAC Policy, AAC Member Roster, and Mr. Carnes' resume. OPTIONS: Approve, Reject or Table. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is Staff's recommendation that the Board approve Mr. Carnes for the vacant position on the Aviation Advisory Committee as described above.
