Present: Joe McEnerney, Chairman, Vince Boothe, Amy Pearson1 Will Bruce, Ch i p Groner, Don Lagarde and Jack Burrell . Also present was Josh Myrick, Attorney. Cynthia A Boothe took the minutes. Discussion of paying a portion of Fairhope Hangar Partners development cost: Don Lagarde said that he had spoken to Don Hansen, spokesperson for Fairhope Hangar Partners, about the groups plans to build hangars at the southwest corner of the Airport. He stated that Fairhope Hangar Partners are asking for help paying for the infrastructure needed to support the new hangars including an access road from Bishop Road, a gate on Bishop Road, electricity to the site, fire protection1 potable water, and sewer service . After much discussion by the group, a motion was made by Vince Boothe for the Airport Authority to pay up to $53,000.00 toward providing the site electricity, fire protection including a six inch hydrant line, and potable water line, second by Chip Groner. Joe McEnerney1 Vince Boothe, Chip Groner, Don Lagarde and Jack Burrell all voted 'Aye ', Will Bruce and Amy Pearson voted 'Nay'. There was a group discussion about the Airport Authority possibly building T- hangars on the West Side of the Airport. Chip Groner made a motion to allow Joe McEnerney as Chairman to meet with Dr. Eagerton with the Aeronautics Bureau about the possibility of building T-Hangars and asking Aeronautics Bureau for discretionary funding to help finance the T-hangars the, second by Will Bruce and unanimously passed . Discussion and approval to change our existing ground lease rate and length: Joe McEnerney stated that there is a potential tenant who has expressed interest in building a hangar on lot P-10 on the East Side but the tenant would li ke a 40 - year lease . If the Authority decided to extend the new tenant a 40 year lease , Joe felt that the Authority would also need to offer the other ground lease tenants who have 30-year leases the option to extend their leases . After a bri ef discussion Vince Boothe made a motion to offer our existing tenants the opportunity to extend their lease for 10 years and concurrently raise the lease rate to $0.30 / square foot. Vi nce had asked Josh Myrick to draft a sample of the proposed changes to the lease which he read . The draft gave the each tenant a one-time opportunity to extend their lease 10 years, not a new 40 year lease. The tenants do not need to accept the extension if they do not desire to do so and their 30-year lease will remain. Josh Myrick will send a letter informing the tenants of the opportunity for the 10-year extension and the changes to the lease and they will have 60 days to respond. After a group discussion it was decided that Vince Boothe would withdraw his motion and the matter will be tabled for a month until Joe McEnerney can talk to Dr. Eagerton with the Aeronautics Bureau and Graham Coffelt with the FAA about the proposal. There being no further business a motion was made by Vince Boothe to adjou r n the meeting at 5:37PM, second by Jack Burrell and unan i mously passed.
