The Airport Board of the City of Fairhope met Tuesday, November 25,
1986 at 9:00 A.M. at the City Administration Building, 161 N. Section
St. Fairhope, Al.
Present: Chairman Mason McGowin, members Jim Gaston, Jeanette
Puckett, Russ Kilgore and Robert Coiling
Mason said that he wished to discuss with the Board two things today.
The Airport project and T-hangars.
He said that the runway extension is in good shape, the only problem
we are having now is with the electrical sub -contractor. The taxiway
lights and VASI lights not completed. We have a performance bond
on the General Contractor and he is asking the Board if they want
to consider writing a letter to the bonding company calling in the bond.
M.L. related some of the incidents he has encountered. That the project
is 90% complete but this is just a nagging little problem. That as of
now they are over the deadline 25 days. M.L. said they could most
likely be finished in 3 weeks time, except for punch list, few minor
things. Discussion on possibility of writing letter led to Russ Kilgore
putting in form of a motion that if the General Contractor has not
given full information regarding completion of contract requirements
and work progress on project no later than December 3, that the
Chairman is authorized to write letter to surety company stating
completion date as of 1/10/86. Jim Gaston seconded and motion carried
unanimously.
M.L. presented to the board a cost feasibility study on proposed T-hangars.
The Board discussed what proposed and after discarded suggestions based
on cost they talked about Mason's proposal to use wooden structures.
M.L. had stated he was looking into possibility. Further discussion led
to Mason asking for number of F.A.A in Jackson to ask about possibility
of locating on ramp.
M.L. presented invoice in the amount of $3,467.25 for work done in October.
Buzz Coiling moved to approve, Russ Kilgore seconded and motion carried
unanimously.
M.L. referred to letter of July 85 where he had questioned some charges
as being extra and after discussion with F.A.A. he finds they are covered
in the project so he wishes to withdraw letter.
He recommended to Board considering update of Airport Layout Plan.
Mason said we would consider at a later date.
M.L. brought up we needed to write re -location letter to Spitzer telling
them I year time frame is up for any re -payment of moving expenses.
He also mentioned that we needed to continue to pursue purchase of
air rights from Mrs. Frego
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
