The minutes of the July 8, 1996 meeting were duly approved as written. A
financial report was given.
Russ Kilgore was present representing himself and Joe Johnson who wished to
offer a preliminary proposal(copy in file) to the board to build at the Fairhope
Airport a corporate T-hangar housing 4 spaces. He said they wished to locate
immediately uujacent to the current T-hangars. Building would be 10,800 sq ft -
60 X 180 w/taxipads. They wished to house a King Aire 200 and Falcon 20 and
rent out other 2 spaces. He said there is a little problem, a berm where comes
down from current T-hangars will have to do something to allow for wing -tip, a
refiguration, cutting down ground, that when they get into the final engineering
will come up with drawings. Sue said this sounded okey but did not want
encroachment into other building site. Further that the asphalt between the two
buildings was meant to be shared. Sue asked about tie -down services, under
the minimum requirements they would be required to offer these and he said
they would handle their own. Bill _Payne asked how far they planned to cut into
the slope and he said maybe 2 ft. He was asked about engineers and he said
Ack Moore do topo and Pasko would do building. Sue suggested Russ get with
Barge/Waggoner early on, as they are the airport engineers. He said basically
what he is asking for now is general agreement, yes, he could enter into lease
agreement on this land. Sue said she saw a little problem in detail that needs
addressing... he had addressed the 10,000 sq ft min building size. Other things
in the minimum standards... under 6e(1) will have suitable office space in the
T-hangars; (2)storage no problem; (3)does not apply;(4) they will not service and
repair, Teledyne will do for them; (5)not apply;(6) This will be thru Teledyne; (7)&
(8) not apply. He said the insurance will be taken care of in formal lease
agreement with the City named additionally insured. Sue asked for comments
from the board members, Mike Baugh offered assuming he meets minimum
standards and talked to Teledyne he sees no problem, pointed out that we are
obligated to have a 2nd FBO under minimum standards. Jeanette said she had
no problem. Andy asked what he planned at end of lease(25 years)? Russ said
probably total renegotiation, but we may not even be here. Buzz asked where
he got his figure of 12 cents a foot. Russ replied Pete Douglas. He was told
that figure was incorrect. Sue asked him to provide us with more information,
get a reappraisal, draw up a lease contract, site plan and engineering work and
present us papers when ready, we will hold a special meeting for him when he
contacts us if it is not close to our regular meeting date. Russ said he will do that
and thanked the board for their time.

private hangar. The proposal was looked at favorably and a discussion was held on
the proposed fuel system and the lease terms. Sue counter- offered .60 on the amount
of the lease amount of the .30 that they had proposed a square foot for the land and
Bubba said to be honest he had not done calculations. Sue mentioned further that this
was subject to negotiation. He was told that this proposal was okey in concept and Sue
further put in form of a motion acceptance of proposal subject to seeing lease and
coming up with agreeable lease fee. Jeanette Puckett seconded and motion carried
unanimously. He was told we usually did leases for 5 years with 5 year increments.

dollar amount. This was fine with him.
J. Michael Helmsing of David Volkert & Assoc. was present and gave a report on the
Global Positioning System study that was done by his firm after receiving money from
the FAA and the State of Alabama to see about possibility of having same at Fairhope
Airport. The State will pay for all of it and there is no ground installation required. A
copy of the report is in the file. He said this will be forwarded back to us in final form
with a copy of a cover letter that we can submit to Dr. Eagerton with the state. That it
will then fall in line with all the other applicants, that it may take 9 mos. to a year to
process. He said t;i:- would involve a straight end approach basically on runway 01.
Mr. Helmsing said he would provide all the data necessary to send the application.
Andy said in the interest of getting this on the way he moves that we accept the study
as presented, knowing that it will still have to be run by Barge, Waggoner and Sue will
need to run by Mayor and get council approval. Bill Payne seconded the motion and it
was approved unanimously.
Tom Godfrey gave a report on Teledyne, said business is going good. That the
maintenance business good but special engines slow.
