A special meeting of the Fairhope Airport Board was called for Monday
June 24, 1991 at 4:00 p.m.
Present were: Chairman Sue Mason, members Andy Huggins, Jeanette
Puckett
Ms. Mason explained to the members present the reason for the meeting -
that she had received calls complaining about Fairhope Aero not having
any fuel, Mayor Nix had called her and told her he had heard the same
rumors as well as that they were getting ready to close down their operation.
She went to check first hand to talk with Mr. Lockett and her observation
was that the building seemed unusually empty to be doing any regular
business, and she saw Mr. Lockett and two employees inside the building
and one employee outside. She said she questioned him about the gas
and was not given a direct answer as to when it would be in, she said
she questioned him about the insurance and still did not get a direct
answer. She said she was really not convinced by his answers at all
as to the status of their operation. It was reported that the $795 check
submitted for Tie down space had been returned twice and they would
have to make it good now. After further discussion it was decided to
send a certified letter, return receipt to Mr. Duncan telling him that
he was in violation of the lease and minimum standards( letter in file) .
Ms. Mason said she knew of at least 4 other people who were interested
in operating the airport if for some reason he does close down. She
asked Jeanette the bank's position and would they allow us to bring
someone in during the interim period. She said she was not clear on
this at this time.
It was the consensus of the board to send the letter and see what response
we get.
There was no further business to discuss at this time so meeting was duly
adjourned.
