COEUR d'ALENE - Kootenai
County commissioners and an application review committee met Friday to
review 19 applications for a new airport manager.
They also decided to re-open the application deadline to Dec. 12.
Commissioner
Todd Tondee said the commissioners were joined by three members of the
airport advisory committee and interim Airport Manager Phil Cummings.
The
county's human resource director was on vacation, and the two incoming
commissioners - David Stewart and Marc Eberlein - were invited but
decided not to attend.
"It's really not on my watch right now," Eberlein said, explaining why he chose not to participate.
Stewart said he didn't go because he had business in Spokane.
"The
way I see it, the only choice the commissioners have now is to move
forward or wait until after January," Stewart said, adding that he wants
to give them the benefit of the doubt. "I guess it will depend on how
strongly they feel they are doing the best thing for the county."
The
review committee met in executive session, which was closed to the
public. However, it opened a public meeting after the executive session
to vote on extending the application deadline.
"And we are going
to interview a couple of those applicants," Tondee said. "But we will
wait until after we review the next round of applicants."
