Com. Con. contract. He also remarked that we had a letter in
response to Trisha's letter stating that Lane Taylor is out
of town but will review said contract upon his return. Russ
further said we cannot pay Tommie until the contract is
accepted. That now Tommie would have to decide what she
wishes to do. Further discussion led to a decision to submit
her contract with the already approved portions, for acceptance
at a meeting scheduled 2/9/84. This was put in form of a motion
by Robert Colling, J.E. Gaston seconded and motion carried unan.
At this time there was a motion made to disburse the funds
received as payment #1 for the project. Motion made by J.E.

for this project for auditing purposes.
A discussion of the time table on the project was held with
the outcome being a Resolution to be passed on to the FAA
as follows:
Recognizing the Federal Aviation Administration has
rejected the City of Fairhope's request under ADAP #04
Project for a new 6600 ft x 100 ft runway and further sub-
stituted an extension of the present runway to 6600 ft.
making this the only offer, it was moved and passed, to accept
this project proposal reluctantly, but only with the understand-
ing that the F.A.A. obviate the safety requirements necessary
to complete the project. Said Resolution to be spread upon the
minutes of the meeting and further forwarded to F.A.A. and
