So Ala. Gen Avia, Aero I, Mobile Air Center charge $80-130. In light of

collect rent one year in advance and then possibly put funds in an account
that would earn interest. Jeanette Puckett seconded and motion carried

Sue Mason had a copy of an article that appeared in the local paper saying
the Civic Air Patrol had a lease with Fairhope Aero for space at the Fair -
hope Municipal Airport. Sue brought up that Fairhope Aero was not
suppose to sub -lease without approval of the Board and that she wished
the secretary to write them a letter informing them that if there is a lease
they need to bring it to the Board for consideration and any others that
they might have( Coastal? )
The letter sent to the Mayor from the FAA regarding Pete Douglas' applica-
tion to the Board was read by Ms. Mason. In essence it reaffirmed our
telling Mr. Douglas if he wished to be a Gen FBO he had to provide jet
fuel for sale. He had written saying we had denied him the right to provide
fuel for his own aircraft and the FAA was writing to tell the Board that
we could not deny him this. The Board did not say this, he had applied
under Gen. FBO but asked for waivers. The Board denied his application
w/waivers. Further discussion led to Board proposing to Mr. Douglas
that he re -submit his application as a special FBO and at that time we
would re -consider what presented. Mr. Douglas was asked about Mr.
Wimpee's status and was told he could handle him in two ways -show him
as an employee or as a partner. Mr. Douglas was asked to further submit
a rough lease proposal at that time. Mr. Douglas said he would be offering
the same services as proposed in his first application, but drop fuel sales.
Mike Baugh stated that he had been presented with material upon arriving
today and that he felt that if the material could not be put in the hands
of the Board members by mail on Friday that it should not be presented
at the meeting. He put this in the form of a motion and Buzz Coiling
seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
