SUMMARY STATEMENT:
A nation-wide search was conducted to recruit our next Airport Manager. We received twelve completed
applications for the Airport Manager position. After reviewing the applications, eight candidates were
selected for initial interviews. Telephone interviews were conducted with those candidates, and three
finalists were chosen to move forward in our hiring process. The final interview was conducted on-site in
McCall and our interview panel included city staff, AAC Chair, TO Engineer consultant and a local
pilot/airport user. The panel decision was unanimous, with a recommendation for Richard “Rick” Stein.
A conditional offer of employment was made to Mr. Stein, subject to Council confirmation. Rick earned a
Bachelor of Science Degree in Aviation Management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a
Master of Public Administration from University of Houston. He is an Accredited Member (A.A.E.) of the
American Association of Airport Executives and a private pilot. Rick’s qualifications and experience made
him stand out from the other applicants we interviewed for the Airport Manager position.
Rick most recently served as Deputy Airport Director – Operations and Maintenance in Yakima, WA. He
also held the positions of Airport Manager and Operations Supervisor at 5 different airports during his
career. He has extensive experience in the daily management of airport functions, supervision of airfield
operations personnel, FAA regulatory compliance, and coordination with pilots, airport users and technical
experts including engineering, maintenance and airfield lighting. Rick has hands-on experience with all
areas of airport operations, including snow removal. He has managed several large FAA grant funded
capital improvement projects including runway extensions and ramp improvements. He also has experience
with Airport Master Planning and has written numerous airfield plans.
Rick’s demonstrated dedication, knowledge, and experience in various GA airport systems make him the
ideal selection as the City of McCall’s Airport Manager.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Confirm the City Manager’s appointment of Richard M. Stein as the
Airport Manager, per McCall City Code 1-9-3(C).
