The minutes for the October 14, 1991 meeting were duly approved and the secretary gave a financial report. A group from Fairhope Flying Service, Inc. were also present to talk to the Board. Ms. Mason addressed the group saying that we had received several proposals of interested parties in serving as permanent F. B.O.'s at the airport. She took this opportunity to personally thank Mr. Barnhill and Mr. Statler for getting the airport operational again in a 72 hour period. That from all reports they are running the airport with courtesy, prompt service and confidence. Mr. Statler said that that is what they have tried to do and wish to continue, that they have furnished Av gas and jet fuel, car rentals and will have shortly rental aircraft. That they intend to follow the minimum standards as set out. They mentioned that Teledyne Continental who is now over at Brookley was shortly going to close their hangar over there and that it might be 24-30 aircraft would be looking for new places to leave their aircraft. They said they think they've covered everything we've asked for except they don't know what they would be facing in ground rent. They think they've reached a mutual agreement with the bank, but, Mr. Barnhill said that the bank says talk to us and we say talk to the bank. Sue said we have not talked about rent yet, she went on to say that we are having the property appraised. Mike Baugh said that he feels that if they've satisfied the bank in everything they have asked for he is sure we would be satisfied. Sue explained the way we wished to handle it was fixed rate Ist 5 years and then renewable every 5 years after review for a 30 year lease. Mr. McAleer said he does not know if the bank would go along with that , possible a 15 year lease. Sue asked if they were going to be offering all the services that an FBO would have to offer . Mr. Statler possible hire out A & P's. Sue re- minded him that any sublease would have to come back to the board. The group asked for a commitment at this time and Sue said we could not give them one. that considering all the proposals we would have to consider each one, and we have had several requests, as stated earlier. Sue pointed out that one of the requirements of the lease is to provide maintenance. At this time the gentlemen left and the Board considered the other proposals they had. Note - before they left Sue told them rent would be somewhere in $1500 range, and that buildings would have to be brought up to code on fire ordinance. Sue reported that Tut had served the 2nd papers on Fairhope Aero and that it will be coming to court soon. 1. On the different groups interested in being FBO how we wished to handle this was discussed . It was decided getting written proposals from each one and open in public meeting was how best to handle it. Further discussion was held on proposals with no definite decisions made. There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
