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. 1 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. 2 AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING, April 18, 1990, continued The FBO documents are to be delivered, by the end of this week, to the Manager's office. Chairman Mayhew requested Secretary Eldridge see that the Sub-commi ttee receive a copy immediately and the remainder of the Commission receive a copy in their April 24 Meeting packet. Commissioner Russell's motion to adjourn this Meeting at 2:35 pm was seconded and approved. Respectfully submitted, ~~ Approved April 24, 1990 3
