Commissioner Davis gave his input, strongly supporting this initiative. He was <br />willing to do “whatever it takes” to move forward, and to ensure that securities and <br />safeguards are put in place to ensure that Piper keeps its end of the deal. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chair Bowden, to move forward with <br />the negotiations with Piper Aircraft and to give the County <br />Administrator the direction to keep Piper in this <br />community. <br /> <br /> Vice Chair Bowden commented that this is an ambitious project for the City and <br />County, but it is much needed. <br /> <br /> Commissioner O’Bryan concurred and requested inclusion of a Dedicated Project <br />Manager with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) experience who would be on the job <br />site seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, working with Piper to ensure optimal <br />progress. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Flescher wanted to see Piper maintained in Vero Beach, and was in <br />favor of beginning negotiations. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion <br />carried unanimously. The Board approved moving forward <br />with the negotiations with Piper Aircraft and authorized the <br />County Administrator to move forward with the initiative <br />to keep Piper in this community. <br /> <br />May 9, 2007 <br /> 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
