Each county in the area needs two members to

· Promote national, state and local air navigation and transportation

· Develop the full potential of aviation in the St. Cloud Regional Airport as an aviation center

· Provide for the most economical and effective use of aeronautic facilities and services located at the St. Cloud Regional Airport.

A commissioner to oversee the other members will be appointed through mutual agreement of the 4 county entities; Stearns County, Benton and Sherburne Counties and the City of St. Cloud.
