Mason said that the items up for discussion today were:
W.S. Newell's contract
T-hangars
Boykin proposal
County site -work
On the site work Mason said that they had done the road for us but
we have not been billed, possibly trade off some of the riff-raff on
the site that they need. �y�
On the Airport project Newell has not present -'a bill for the rest of the
money owed him. We are holding retainage but also he has some money
due him that he has not requested. Mason told of the connector kit
problems. That it might not be approved. M.L. told that he has been
in touch with F.A.A. on this but we haven't gotten word back yet.
That we possibly could handle by getting a guarantee from W.S. Newell
if something goes wrong that we could recoup some of money. Get a
bond to cover this.
Mason at this time asked the board to authorize him to negotiate with Newell
by proper resolution to settle on the force account work, the connector kit
matter and the liquidated damages matter that needed to be addressed. He
had drafts of letters he wished to be sent regarding this and asked the Board
to review and comment. After discussion Jeanette Puckett put in the form
of a motion authorizing Mason to settle with W.S. Newell on the force account
work, the connector kit matter and the liquidated damages regarding this
project. Jim Gaston seconded and motion carried unanimously.
On the T-hangars. Mason reported that there are minor items that need
to be addressed by Mark IV, that we should be in there by first of
January. He read the assigned spaces and noted that Jack Boykin did
not wish one at this time that Breland was the next in line. The Board
concurred with contacting Breland to see if he was still interested. The
rent to $125 a month payable quarterly, 3 months in advance starting January I.
Jim Reid to work the contract to be signed by all eight. Russ said he would
get the paperwork to Mr. Reid he had some sample contracts.
At this time Mason told Jeanette a few pertinent things about the Boykin
private hangar that they wish to erect. Jeanette reassured the Board that
there is nothing wrong just that the Council did not have time to review the
contract before the last Council meeting. It was pointed out that $500 yr.
small amount to pay but he will be buying fuel, that we could possible put in
a clause for looking at contract every 5 yrs. That it is to our advantage to
have a King Aire based there and he possible will buy a Citation later. Jeanette
noted all these things to pass on the Council.
M.L. discussed briefly with the Board the possibility of applying for new
grant to get lower ramp work done.
