AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING
April 18, 1990
Chairman Charles Mayhew called this meeting to order at 1:00 pm.
Commissioners in attendance were Alexander Craig and Ronald
Russell. Also in attendance was Secretary Myrtle Eldridge.
The MINUTES of the April 3, 1990 Meeting were approved as
presented.
The WARRANT was approved and executed for payment.
The two (2) BIDS for the CJ7 JEEP, that were received by Manager
Norris' office and opened at 3:00 pm on April 10, 1990 as specified
in the advertisement, were presented for the Commission's decision.
Bids were received from Russell Carlson, in the amount of $79.23
and Bruce L. Watts, in the amount of $175.00. A motion was M/S/P
to accept the bid from Mr. Watts in the amount of $175.00.
David N. Fuselier, owner of DOVE AVIATION, INC., had requested an
Executive Session to discuss various matters concerning his
proposed FBO operations.
Chairman Mayhew informed Mr. Fuselier of the criteria required for
an Executive Session and indicated the Commission felt his request
did not meet this criteria. The Chairman recommended a Sub-
committee of two Commissioners and Mr. Fuselier arrange to meet to
discuss the FBO contract. Their decisions will be presented at the
April 24th Meeting. Commissioners Ronald Santos and Alexander
Craig were appointed to meet with Mr. Fuselier and Manager Norris
to discuss any proposed changes.
Mr. Fuselier then requested to be permitted to present various
i terns for discussion. The Commission consented to allow Mr.
Fuselier to make his presentation.

AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING, April 18, 1990, continued
The presentation began with Mr. Fuselier stating various existing
problems with the fuel farm and indicated that Dove Aviation will
correct these deficiencies and upgrade to FAA specifications.
The following short term arrangements were presented, voted, and
approved:
1. Short term use of radio equipment.
The following motion was M/S/P to "Permit the short term
joint use, not to exceed 60 days, of the Airport's radio
frequency, with the Airport having priority".
2. Lease, with option to purchase, van and golf cart.
Chairman Mayhew informed Mr. Fuselier of the need to put
these items out to bid in order to be able to sell them.
The decision was to provide a short term lease on these
items from May 1 through August 1.
The Van leasing motion was M/S/P, subject to a price set
at a monthly lease rate to be determined after Secretary
Eldridge is able to obtain leasing figures from Mr.
Albert Perry (Budget Rent-A-Car) and Mr. Dave Murphy
(Hertz Rent-A-Car).
The Golf Cart leasing motion was M/S/P with the Airport
Manager to determine a leasing fee.
3. Purchase chocks
As the supply of chocks are being depleted by visitors
taking them as souvenirs, the Commission determined that
Dove Aviation may have the remaining chocks at no cost.
As "food for thought" Mr. Fuselier stressed that the Commission
should consider the fact that the current FBO Standards are set and
have no cap. He recommended that standards be set that require
future FBO's must, at least, meet the standards set by the existing
FBO to set a more competitive level of service and to protect the
Airport's image. The Commission indicated their appreciation for
Mr. Fuselier's input in this matter.
