Council Roll Call June 27

Council Roll Call  # 1

June 27th

          Dan Flynn was confirmed Monday, June 27^th as the new Airport Director for the Pensacola International Airport.  However, in spite of the fact that Mr. Flynn is well deserving of the nomination and confirmation by the City Council,  I thought it wasn’t going to happen - at least not tonight.

          I arrived at the Council Chamber around 3:15pm.  The meeting was scheduled to start at 3:30pm. President Bare came to the chambers around 3:20pm.   About 3:30pm, Councilman Terhaar showed up and took his seat.  We needed five for a quorum.  The council executive when looking for Councilman Johnson who called and said he had just gotten off the interstate.  After waiting about 10 minutes Johnson showed up.  Councilman Spencer showed up with the Mayor.

          At 3:45 when Council had a quorum,  I made the motion to confirm Mr. Flynn and got a second. A few minutes was spent thanking Mr. Flynn for his many years of service to the Airport.  He has a remarkable career with the Airport and is well qualified for the director position.  The vote was unanimous.
