Kootenai County commissioners and an application review committee met Friday to review 19 applications for a new airport manager. They also decided to re-open the application deadline to Dec. 12. Commissioner Todd Tondee said the commissioners were joined by three members of the airport advisory committee and interim Airport Manager Phil Cummings. The county's human resource director was on vacation, and the two incoming commissioners -- David Stewart and Marc Eberlein -- were invited but decided not to attend. "It's really not on my watch right now," Eberlein said, explaining why he chose not to participate. Stewart said he didn't go because he had business in Spokane/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press.
