Resident alleges volunteer airport manager assaulted local man, urges removal
Summary
A local resident told commissioners the county's volunteer airport manager committed assault and other misconduct and urged the board to remove him from the volunteer position; the board did not take immediate action.
Bill Catalina spoke during the public comment period and described alleged misconduct by the county’s volunteer airport manager, identified in the comment as Steve Fultz. Catalina said a local man, Randall John [surname redacted in transcript], was "strangled and nearly killed" on May 2, 2019 and that Fultz subsequently harassed the man with code complaints, tailgating and unauthorized surveillance cameras on private property.
"Fultz should be serving 20 to 30 years in jail for nearly killing mister **** for that crime alone," Catalina said, urging commissioners to "join with 2 others to override David Edwards and fire Steve Fultz from the volunteer position." The speaker said he plans to publish a book with more details.
When Catalina asked the board whether they would act, the record shows no formal response or motion from the commission. A brief on‑the‑record exchange included a statement, "I'm not responding to you," from another participant; no formal investigation, staff report or board direction was recorded in the transcript. The matter was presented as a public allegation; the board did not take action during the meeting.
