Applications to be the next interim executive director of the agencies overseeing development of San Bernardino International Airport will be accepted through 5 p.m. Oct. 17.
The Airport Operations and Performance Compliance committee will then review the applications the next day at noon at the airport’s offices and bring a short list of candidates to the full boards of the Inland Valley Development Agency and airport authority on Oct. 26.
The members of the committee said they hope to choose a new leader by a special meeting on Nov. 2. At the same time, the agencies plan to search nationwide for a more permanent replacement.
Donald L. Rogers, 71, who was the executive director of both agencies for nine years, a large portion of it spent as an “interim” director, resigned Sept. 28 exactly a week following an FBI raid of the airport’s offices. The agency has already received unsolicited resumes from those interested in the job
Gonzales urged that time not be wasted and that a new leader start work within 30 days.
“It better not be anybody’s friend, or someone’s uncle,” she said of interim director candidates. Throughout the meeting she said she was frustrated and “beyond angry,” by the lack of communication with board members such as herself and the airport’s management.
“I no longer believe we were on the right track,” she said.
