The completed evaluation forms from the Commissioners and tally sheet will be maintained in the Master file folder for this Workshop meeting.

Mr. Piccolo thanked the Board for the encouraging and positive evaluation and advised that the past year has been very challenging with the effects of COVID-19, but we are now experiencing a tremendous improvement with the airport on a record-breaking course with passenger traffic and revenues exceeding the projection numbers.

He recapped this year's performance and highlighted areas within the ten rating categories. He discussed the strong increase to our air service numbers, which in turn commands necessary expansion and construction challenges for the airport that will be discussed at today's board meeting. He advised the Board that Anita Eldridge, Sr. V.P. Finance and Administration plans to retire by next Spring and we will move forward in finding a replacement for her position. He discussed his decision to resign from the Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Association (SANCA) board due to time constraints and the need to focus on the tremendous growth the airport is now experiencing. It was the consensus of the Board to agree with his decision to remove himself from the SANCA board to fully concentrate on the business of the airport.

There were no other comments on the performance evaluation.
