their airplanes to individuals at the airport after
we had instructed her not to do this. Further dis-
cussion led to the Board voting on Motion by Mason

she is not in compliance with the min. standards.

She what response we have to letter if not favorable

of $2,187.24. Jim Gaston moved to do this seconded

Russ showed the Board at this time a tie down lease
agreement he had that he thought would be good for
us to use. We will make copies get to the Board
members and ask for an opinion from Jim Reid regarding
same. Discussion led to a decision to lease this area
to Meg(South ramp area) and let her act as agent receiv-
ing a percentage. Russ cited an average rental was $35.00
mo for paved, $45 for light twin engine plane and $20-$22
average on grassy surface. This to be discussed further
at a' later date.
Russ also discussed with the Board the construction of
T-hangars. Cost estimated at about $20-25 sq. ft for
about 350 sq.ft. If we can use city crews to grade, level
put slab there and purchase the buildings w/erection con-
tract and amortize for 25 yrs, float bond issue, plus
charge for year in advance rental, we might can get it
going. Jim Gaston put in the form of a motion having the

Tommie presented the Board w/copy of letter regarding
the relocation which pointed out that FAA approval
had to be sought and plan approved before we could
proceed. That C.W. Coleman was knowledgeable in this
and could probably be of help to us. Russ mentioned
that $250.00 was allowed for this, it did not have
to go out on bids. Jim Gaston moved that Buzz talk
to C.W. about doing this project, Mason McGowin seconded
and motion carried unanimously. Tommie also mentioned
that Jim Reid was working on title opinions regarding
re -location.
Mason mentioned that he had noticed at the airport
an absolute disregard for standard pattern altitudes,
and flying in formations and thought the Board ought
to be aware of this and what could be done. He was
informed that we had made Rules & Regulations and they
were supposed to be posted at the Airport. Other than
that we can't really -police this.
Tommie mentioned she needed from M.L .tithe M.B.E.
projections on the contractors and sub -contractors
and related information. Russ said he would call
him and see if he can get the ball rolling.
There being no further business, meeting was
duly adjourned.
