The Airport Board of the City of Fairhope met on January 29, 1980,
at 7:00 p.m. at the City Administration Building, 387 Fairhope Avenue
Fairhope, Alabama
Those members present: Russ Kilgore, Chairman
Mac McCawley and M.L. Aust,
Consulting Engineer
Mr. Aust related to the Board that Ogden Const. Co., the company
doing the work out at the Airport had requested permission to deviate
from the Southern Standard Building Code on fire prevention. The Code
states that they need to install a sprinkler system. The cost of
this system is extremely high. Therefore, the request to supply
adequate fire extinguishers in the buildings. It was mentioned,
that if there was going to be a fire it probably would not be ex-
tinguishable by water. Mr. McCawley asked about the City's liabil-
ity in this matter. He was told that the lawyer reported that the
lessor would be responsible in case of a fire, not the City.
Mr. Kilgore remarked that he would get Mr. Taylor to go out and
check to see what was needed and he would be out to check to see
what was needed and he would be sure we would have on file a
letter setting out exactly what they would supply. There being
no further objection, Mr. McCawley put in the form of a motion
waiving the sprinkler system requirement, Russ Kilgore seconded,
and motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Aust made a report on the ADAP project that was started back
in 1977. He has made an application to F.A.A. on January 23, 1979
for the final payment. We had under this project $449,000.00.
He reported he had a bill from H.O. Weaver Const. Co. on the final
overlay of Project No. 5-01-002902 for $84,607.91 he had written
a letter(included in minutes). It was discussed holding 5�7o retainage
until the F.A.A. made final inspection. Russ mentioned that the F.A.A.
did not have any travel money and that they might accept just a letter
sent by certification as a final inspection. It was then decided to hold 5%
if the F.A.A. came for the inspection, if they accepted a letter by certi-
fication to go ahead and pay 100%. This was put in the form of a motion
by Mac McCawley, seconded by Russ Kilgore, and unanimously carried.
M.L. Aust presented a bill from Dixie Labor. on the testing of the
second overlay for $ 3,027.50 for 12% hours. After discussion Mr.
McCawley moved, Russ Kilfore seconded and motion carried unanurously
to pay this bill.
We also had a bill from our consulting engineer M.L. Aust in the amount
of $3,369.00, this being the final on the ADAP project. MacMcCawley
moved, Russ Kilgore seconded payment be made, and motion carried unan-
imously
For the record, it was decided that the chairman should meet with Mr.
Bass and apprise him of the inadequacies of his part of the lease agree-
ment with the City and try to reach an amicable solution for both the
City and Bass Aviation.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
