Boise Airport Police Chief Mike Johnson said Tuesday he may reconsider his announced retirement now that Airport Director John Anderson is no longer with the city.
"I don't know. I have to look at everything," Johnson said Tuesday. Anderson said Tuesday he was retiring, a day after Boise city leaders said he was no longer a city employee.
In a resignation letter to the city, Anderson listed no specific reasons for his retirement. He ticked off a list of his accomplishments during his 16-years at the airport, including a major concourse expansion, a new multi-story parking garage and creative financing for a third runway.
"While I could expand the list of accomplishments to several pages, it is best I wrap up and graciously ask that you accept my request to retire as of this date," the letter dated Tuesday said.
Anderson could not be reached for comment.
Michael Zuzel, spokesman for Mayor Dave Bieter, said the timing of Anderson's and Johnson's retirements is coincidental. On Sept. 13, Johnson told the city he would retire in January.
"They made those decisions three weeks apart," Zuzel said.
Deputy Airport Director Garry Fraise will serve as interim airport director while the city conducts a nationwide search to replace Anderson who earned more than $111,000 annually.
"John Anderson has accomplished many positive things during his years with the City of Boise," Mayor Bieter said in a statement Tuesday. "We thank John for his long service to the citizens of Boise and his contributions to our airport, and we wish him the best in all of his future endeavors."
