The Airport Board of the City of Fairhope met Monday, September 9, 1991
at 8:00 A.M. at the City Administration Building, 161 N. Section Street
Present: Chairman Sue Mason, members Andy Huggins, Mike Baugh
Secretary Betty Rivenbark
Mrs. Mason went over with the Board the things that she has heard
regarding Fairhope Aero, including the call from Jim Lockett and
his subsequent resignation. She related the fuel problems, that
there is no one out there other than James Ingram and he has
posted hours as 9-6. That Mr. Ingram was instructed to send
a NOTEM due to the fuel situation, which we assumed he did, that
we now are also dealing with an IRS attachment as well as a lawsuit.
That in addition to default we could possibly be dealing with abandon-
ment. She said she is planning to go out there after the meeting
to see what the situation is now. Andy asked what the situation
is with the bank, no one was really clear, we need to get with Tut
and see if he has contacted the bank. I t was the consensus of the
Board that we should probably take a wait and see attitude unless
we are dealing with an abandonment situation and we have already
given 90 day notice. Andy suggested that if we are facing an aban-
donment situation we could put a temporary building up, run power
to it and run the unicom on a temporary basis, that possibly the
IRS would work with us. That we do not have anyone in the City
who could go out and run the airport but possibly we could find
someone on temporary basis. The question was asked if abandonment
would terminate the lease - the answer being yes. Mike said that we
could hash this over many times, that he suggests having Sue go
out there but if we need to meet every Monday until we get this
resolved he would be available.
Sue reported that Mr. Douglas has not been in to see Mr. Lunsford
yet, that he called once and Mr. Lunsford returned his call but
that they have not connected yet.
The tie -downs were discussed. They have all been billed to December
but they are kind of in limbo too. We need to contact the attorney
and see what he suggests.
Sue said she would check the fuel situation also and see if we need
to amend the NOTEM when she goes out there. Sue said she would
cantact Tut to see if there is anything further that we, as a board,
should do.
The minutes were duly approved and a financial report was given.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
