The motion was that the "Law Department provide correspondence to the Council within 30 days regarding the Airport being operated without a manager, liability-wise and is it a good practice". Our understanding is that the Airport is operating with an individual acting as interim manager until a long-term manager is hired . We are aware of no reason why said circumstances present a liability issue for the Airport. It is appropriate to have management services being performed on an interim basis until a long term manager is under contract. Please note that this correspondence has been submitted to the Committee within the requested time frame from receipt of the minutes/request by the Law Department. Thank you .
