Mrs. Sue Mason, Chairperson of the Airport Board, came
before the Council with two Board approved requests: (a) that
Mr. Pete Douglas, Coastal Air Transport, be changed from a
General Fixed Base Operator status to a Special Fixed Base
Operator who provides only air taxi and air freight operations,
single and multi -engine flight instruction, and aircraft rental;
and (b) that the city attorney be authorized to work with the
Board Chairperson in preparing a lease between the City and
Coastal Air Transport. After some discussion, Councilman
Bishop moved to approve both requests. Seconded by Councilman
Ford, motion passed unanimously. The prepared lease will
be presented for Council approval at a later date.
Attorney Wynne reported to Council that he needed a little
more research time on the suggested ordinance to make it un-
lawful for persons to take materials set out for the City's

cities about the matter before offering a final recommendation.
