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.
