Options were explored, including the City of Farehope taking over the operation of a limited FBO for an interim period of time pending finding someone else the come in and lease the airport facilities. On a motion by Buzz Colling, seconded by Bill Payne, the Board recorded its desire that the collateral for the $90,000.00 note be retained at Fairhope after the departure of Clark Aviation, to ensure its safeguarding and proper maintenance until the debt is paid. The motion passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned to meet again very soon at the call of the Chairman to work on replacement FBO. MINUTES OF THE TELEPHONIC AIRPORT BOARD MEETING OF 1 JUNE 1994 After consultation with the City Attorney, and determining that, after Clark Aviation registered the airplanes pledged as collateral for the $90,000.00 note, thus allowing the City of Fairhope to register a lien on them with the FAA, the City must allow Clark Aviation to remove the collateral as they cease operation at the Fairhope Airport, the Chairman conducted a meeting by telephone with the members available at that time, Buzz Colling, Bill Payne, Jeanette Puckett, Mike Baugh. It was unanimously decided that in lieu of retaining collateral, an agreement would be entered into with Clark Aviation and the two Clarks individually, which would provide that 1. Clark Aviation would operate a full service FBO through 30 June 1994 2. Clark aviation would immediately provide the Board with a list of individuals or corporations renting space in the T-hangars, the bog hangars, or on the ramps, including rate paid, paid through what date, name, address, phone #, aircraft N-number, and which hangar or space aircraft is located in. 3. Prior to release from current lease, Clark Aviation and the two Clarks will sign promissory note for rent arrearage plus hangar/ramp rent collected in advance. 4, Terms of note to include satisfactory condition of buildings and equipment left at departure, with inspection by City of Fairhope personnel. 5. Monthly reporting procedure on collateral inventory to be put in place with default on note as result of failure to provide report on time. MINUTES OF AIRPORT BOARD MEETING OF 7 JUNE 1994 The Board met to hear presentations from MC Aviation of Mobile, represented by Mr. Hendrickson and Mr. Yarbro; Mobile Air Service (Aero-One) represented by Mr. Read and Mr. Morissette; and a yet to be named corporation represented by Mr. Kilgore, appearing for himself, Mr. McGowin, Mr. McLean, and Mr. Cox. 73 After hearing from each of these entities, the board briefly reviewed and discussed the three presentations and agreed to meet the next afternoon to discuss the proposals in depth. The Chairman requested that each member carefully consider what they thought were the specific strengths and weakness of each proposal, to foster further discussion. MINUTES OF THE AIRPORT BOARD MEETING OF 8 JUNE 1994 The Board met to discuss the three proposals heard the day before. After discussing the strengths and weakness of each proposal, some members of the Board desired to ask a few further questions of what the Board considered, informally, the leading candidate to take over the airport, Mr. Morrisette and Mr. Read. These are to be invited to re -appear before the board tomorrow to briefly answer a few additional questions. Board members were also brought up to date on the progress of getting the final agreement with Clark Aviation in force, and of the requirement of the agreement that none of its provisions be publicly discussed by any party to it, including the Airport Board and its members. MINUTES OF THE AIRPORT BOARD MEETING OF 9 JUNE 1994 The Board met as scheduled at the prior meeting. Mr. Read and Mr. Morissette again appeared for a brief session to answer the remaining questions of the few Board members who so desired. On a motion by Andy Huggins, seconded by Jeanette Puckett, the Board voted to recommend to the Mayor that the contract be awarded to Mobile Air Center and Mr. Morrissette. The Board members requested the Chairman to place the proposal of this candidate before the Mayor and express the Board's feelings that this proposal would best serve the near and long term needs of Fairhope for a first quality airport.
