SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Several qualified applications for the Airport Manager position were received following a nation-wide
recruitment effort. Staff members, along with the Chairperson of the Airport Advisory Committee,
conducted multiple interviews with a number of candidates. We initially interviewed the top six
candidates, and then narrowed the pool to three final candidates for a second set of interviews. The final
interview was conducted on-site in McCall and included interactions among city staff, AAC members,
and airport tenants and commercial operators.
Mr. Scherer holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management from Park University in Parkville
Missouri, and comes to us following a decorated career as an officer in the United States Air Force; Mr.
Scherer’s military career provided him numerous qualifications and strengths which made him stand out
from the other applicants interviewed for the Airport Manager position. Mr. Scherer has experience in
core airfield management and air traffic control functions, the daily management of airport functions,
leadership of airfield management organizations and staff, budge preparation and execution, and
coordination with senior civil and military leaders in pursuit of meeting short and long term airport goals.
In short, Mr. Scherer has demonstrated dedication, knowledge, and experience in various high level
airport systems which have made him the ideal selection as the City of McCall’s Airport Manager.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Confirm the City Manager’s appointment of Jay Scherer as the Airport Manager, per McCall City Code 1-
9-3(C).
