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.
