Street
Present: Chairman Mason McGowin; members Russell Kilgore,

also present.
Jeanette reported to the Board that she, Russ and M.L. had met
Wednesday, August 30 to discuss requests that had been sent
to the Airport Board from Mr. Spitzer, Sr. and Mr. Spitzer, Jr.
requesting assistance with re -location ref:AIP Project 3-01-0029-3.
In essence it was decided to write and inform him that he should
have made this request within 18 mos. after the initial move and
it would have to be documented. We have not received any claim
or documentation from him prior to this request. (letter on file)
Mr. Spitzer, Sr. was informed that he had certain criteria to meet
in order to qualify for assistance he was requesting. Documentation
would be required and again this should have been submitted within
18 mos. of initial move. Nothing had been received prior to this.
Both the Spitzers were informed they had the right to appeal.
Mason brought up that we needed to try to get new ideas to get
revenue. He went over what benefits Duncan was receiving and
that they are not paying for ramp space. He also went over
violations and said he is trying to get with Byron Lassiter to
discuss what they need to do. That we should have re -negotiated
parts of contract in April and failed to do it. That he is still making
attempts to discuss things with him.
Mason also brought out the maintenance that we need to do at the Airport
Jeanette said she will discuss with the Council what we can get done.
The board had received a proposal for restriping the Airport at a
cost of $2500.00. Discussion led to a motion by Russ Kilgore, due to
financial difficulties at this time we deny proposal, Jeanette Puckett
seconded and motion carried unanimously. ( letter on file)
Russ brought up letter from Air World requesting ramp space to place
a Cessna 402 at Fairhope Airport. Russ explained it would cut costs
for him and give him chance to be competitive if based plane there.
All agreed it would be fine but he needed to provide letter saying
what scope of operation is, copy of 135 certificate and certificate of
insurance. Russ moved to write him a letter of authorization, Jeanette
Puckett seconded and motion carried unanimously. (letter on file)
Mason asked Pete Douglas to make a list of ways that he thinks we
can generate revenue at the airport and report back to board.
The board approved a bill from M.L. Aust in the amount of 2,300.00
for work on Spitzer's under the project. Motion to approve by Russ
Kilgore, seconded by Jeanette Puckett and unanimously carried.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
