The Airport Board of the City of Fairhope met Monday, July 8, 1991
at 8:00 A.M. at the City Administration Building, 161 N. Section St.
Present: Chairman, Sue Mason; members Robert Colling, Mike Baugh
Andy Huggins. Betty Rivenbark, Secretary was also present.
Pete Douglas had sent the board a letter saying that knowing the
current problems we were having at the Airport he would be glad to
assume the FBO status if something happens to Fairhope Aero's operation.
He was present this morning to tell the board that even though he had
a lease his first interest was and still is assuming Fairhope Aero's lease.
He was told of the at least 4 other people who are also interested in
coming into Fairhope if something does happen with Fairhope Aero.
He was also reminded that he had a contract with the City and that
he had promised to do something within 90 days. Mr. Douglas said
he hoped the Board would give him some flexibility on this. If some-
thing should happen to Fairhope Aero he would be in a position to
move in overnight. Sue told him his next biggest obstacle was in
getting his plans approved by the Building Inspector and fire codes by
Tom Odom.
The minutes were approved as written and a financial statement was
given by the secretary.
The problems at Fairhope Aero were discussed again and the fact they
have defaulted many, many times during the course of their lease.
Their current status is: they have paid their fuel sales up to date
(received 7/8/91) made the bad check good(7/8/91) and have called
to say that their insurance has been reinstated (nothing received to
verify this) . Mike Baugh said in consideration of all the problems
we have been having he would like to have the City Attorney take a
look at the leases and render an opinion. That we should take control
and move on. Sue pointed out that if they do default in their line
of credit the bank can place someone of their choosing at the airport
to run it. Mike Baugh put in the form of a motion having the City
Attorney offer a legal opinion researching all the assignments to
see if now in default. Andy Huggins seconded and motion carried
unanimously. Sue outlined that we would wish from the attorney -
a succinct interpretation of Fairhope Aero's responsibilities under the
lease and correct procedure to take if there are problems. That we
would like to have the attorney attend our next meeting August 12,
1991 and have for the board a chronology of the lease(what assumed) and
Fairhope Aero's obligations under the lease agreement. It was noted
that if he can do this before 8/12/91 meeting we would be glad to have
special meeting.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
