Venice Council hires airport manager amid budget clash
The Venice City Council voted to hire an airport manager at 18000 dollars while rejecting a 325 dollar county dive board purchase for the pool. They also blocked the MacArthur Beach high rise foundation, moved to curb Gulf shore parking near homeowners, and amended a Venice Flying Service lease with Mayor Case dissenting. FAA opposes selling airport land. Holiday Apartments offer may sway FAA if funds are well invested. Sale of surplus Venice Bay Trailer Park land drew two offers amid dispute over deed validity and a claim it was deeded by mistake.
