The Metro Council will weigh in, once again, Wednesday on whether it should reopen the search for a new airport director or hire the interim director for the job instead.
Councilmembers Barbara Freiberg and Dwight Hudson placed an item on the agenda to authorize consulting firm ADK to initiate a “fast-tracked” continuation of the search for 30 days. The firm facilitated the first search effort earlier this year, which Freiberg spearheaded, but the Metro Council failed to come to a consensus behind any of the selected candidates, resulting in top three hopefuls removing their namesfrom consideration.
