The Board considered an Interlocal Agreement with the Sanford -Lee County Airport Authority for Airport Manager services. County Manager John Crumpton stated the Sanford - Lee County Airport Authority recently decided to hire an Airport Manager that would report directly to them. This was due to the recent retirement of EDC Director Bob Heuts and Airport Manager Dan Swanson. Essentially both of these individuals ran the Airport operations. The Airport Authority decided to hire a professional Manager who could handle the field and administrative operations and a full compensation package needed to be put in place. Therefore, the Airport Authority is asking the County's support in providing such a package. Mr. Crumpton outlined the Interlocal Agreement that stated Lee County would agree to employ an Airport Manager selected by the Airport Authority who would be entitled to health insurance, retirement plans, and all other benefits offered to regular county employees. The Airport Authority will be responsible for setting the pay scale and range for any employees hired and will notify the Lee County Human Resources Department of new hires pay rates and any changes during their employment. All employees will be paid by the rules and regulations of the Fair Labor Standards Guidelines and the County will be reimbursed the cost for all payroll costs for airport employees, including salaries and wages, payroll taxes, benefits costs, and any other employee costs that are an expense to Lee County. After discussion, Commissioner Oldham moved to approve the Interlocal Agreement with the Sanford -Lee County Airport
