They may employ an executive director, airport manager, secretary, technical experts, and such other officers, agents, and employees, permanent and temporary, as they may require, and they shall determine their qualifications, duties, and compensation. The commissioners may delegate to one or more of their agents or employees such powers or duties as the commissioners may deem proper.
