Attorney were also present.
Mr. McGowin called attention to the article written by Senator Hand
in last Sunday's paper regarding getting commuter airline in here.
He is going to respond to article with letters we have been submitting
all along.
M.L. told the Board of the letter he had written to W.S. Newell
after collaboration with Mr. Reid, the city attorney, regarding
final claims and monies on the project. The letter asked him
to respond by June 15th. So far we have not heard anything
from him. He said he had talked with them by phone and they
indicated that they might like to have a meeting that never materialized.
It was felt that any further correspondence should come through the
Board since the deadline has passed. Jim Reid mentioned that
the advertising on the project had to be re -done but is being done
now, the final publication will be next Wednesday. Jim went on to
say that one of the problems we are having with them is they won't
pin themselves down at what they are claiming. It was the Board's
opinion and M. L.'s recommendation that we establish days for
liquidated damages. Preferably 157 days. Russ asked what latitude
do we have for negotiation. M.L. responded none. Jim was asked
to send a letter, get with M.L. and they figure it out in detail.
Russ put in the form of a motion to have M.L.,Jim Reid get together
and work on it and then submit it to the Board, send letter.
Jeanette Puckett seconded and motion carried unanimously. Jim
Reid said he had received some correspondence from the sub-
contractor's attorney. Buzz Coiling moved to give the information
requested to the sub -contractor's attorney, Jeanette Puckett second-
ed and motion carried unanimously.
M.L. discussed with the board the connector kits, and the problems
we have had at the airport. He told them we could handle these
defects 2 ways, -call for a bond or withhold money in escrow account
at the end of 5 years give him what is left. He is to handle it.
