Russ reported to the Board that he, Trish Nelson, and Mason McGowin had gone to the 1st Miss Natl Bk in Hattiesburg as mortgage holder of the present F.B.O. at the Fairhope Municipal Airport upon hearing of a federal bankruptcy hearing against the former FBO Phil Bass. That they had talked with a Bob DiMiestre and he explained that S & H Enterprises was the parent company and subsidized Fairhope Aero. That they wanted assurance that things at the airport were not going to be auctioned off by federal government. That they had very nice visit and were pleased to find out the workings behind Fairhope Aero. It was opinion of all that someone from the Board should be present to represent the City's interest at the hearing, preferably Jim Reid the City Attorney. Russ to contact him and see if he can attend. Tommie Werneth reported that we had mailed out letters to Mr. and Mrs. Spitzer, Sr; Mr. and Mrs. Spitzer, Jr.; and Patsy Spitzer Dean. That as of yet we have not re- ceived anything back that the letter dated 10/29 gave them 30 days to respond but we were hoping for something before then. The Board asked to be notified when she heard to see if a meeting would be necessary. M.L. Aust reported to the Board on how far he had gotten with the #04 project and meeting the projected 11/17/84 date. That he had hit a snag with the drainage but will try to work it out. Further discussion led to the Board setting a date of 11/29/84 as meeting to approve plans & specifications on the project. Russ presented to the Board a letter he had from F.A.A. saying they approved the Airport Layout Plan sent in by M.L. and he was presenting the same for the airport file. There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
