The Airport Board of the City of Fairhope met Monday, October 12, 1992
at the City Administration Building, 161 N. Section Street, at 8:00 A.M.
Present: Chairman Sue Mason; members Andy Huggins, Robert
Coiling, Jeanette Puckett, Mike Baugh
The minutes of the September meeting were duly approved as written
on motion by Robert Coiling, seconded by Mike Baugh. A financial
report was given by the secretary.
The board's attention was drawn to.a letter from the City Atty(in file)
in which he is of the opinion that Mr. Aust is still under contract with
the City. (Further discussion follows)
The chairman asked Mr. Coiling and Huggins if while they were in with
the city attorney researching the status of Mr. Aust if they also asked
about Mr. Douglas' situation. They related that Mr. Wynne suggested
that since the letter was originally addressed to the council that it
should come from them regarding termination status. Mrs. Mason said
that after the meeting she would address memo to the Mayor. This was
moved by Andy Huggins with note that there will be no obligations
on either side, Robert Coiling seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Mike Baugh reported to the board on his discussion with KEMKO and
with the purchasing agent regarding fixing the ceiling at the airport
He said that he had talked to Grey Cane and that a ballpark figure
is $10,000±. He said they had discussed different ways to repair and
that he felt that the real solution would be to pull out what's there,
put back as it should be, he said they had looked at lower cost
alternatives but his recommendation would be to put back in original
condition. -He further moved to report to the City Council and request
permission to seek bids on this work. M.L. offered that he has heard
of something, Foilway, that might be able to be used. The board said
they could word the specifications in a way to include best possible
way to repair which would open path to new information. Further discussion
led to motion by Mike to recommend repairing in a way to original condition
and seek permission from Mayor and council to go out on bids. Robert
Coiling seconded motion and it carried unanimously.
The board at this time began discussion again with M.L. regarding
his status with the board. We had received a letter from Mason McGowin
regarding discussion he had with M.L. when M.L. was questining how he
was going to get paid for work he had done at airport. In the letter
Mason acknowledged that there was work done on ramp but also told him
that no money was available and see about putting in another project
if/when one funded. M.L. recounted events leading up to bill and
why not paid. That he had started work on the ramp when the T-hangar
project came up and then Jack Boykin lease and finally runwav extension.
After a lenghty discussion he came up with a negotiated figure of $3,876.00 owed
to him, but, further discussion led to him saying he would do the pre-appli-
update at a figure of $2,500.00 to include ramp, parking access road, fencing
and utilities, write an ad for soliciting engineering services. He said he
would do all project formulation for a figure of $6,376.00 but he really
did not wish to continue as engineer, and would leave at a time that all
thought was right. Sue questioned him as to what was bottom line figure
we were talking about since so much had been discussed and he said the
34
6,376.00. Everyone was in agreement that all that had been related
was true and the money situation was as presented. Mike Baugh
made a motion to pay $3,876.00 as figure agreed upon and proceed
with update on pre -application for $2,500.00(to include write engineering
selection advertisement) payment to be made when pre-ap. submitted.
Mr. Aust to make written presentation to the board. Andy Huggins
seconded and motion carried unanimously.
The board also approved by unanimous motion a bill from the attorney
for $65.00.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
