HENDERSON, STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE, TO PAINT THE AIRPORT. MR. HENDERSON SAID THEY COULD ASSIST US, BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE PROPER AUTHORIZATION NUMBERS TO GO AHEAD WITH IT. HE IS ATTEMPTING TO GET IT AUTHORIZED THROUGH THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR THEM TO SUSTAIN ALL THE COSTS INVOLVED. HOWEVER, IF THEY FAIL TO OBTAIN THAT, IT COULD BE WORKED ON A CHARGE-BACK BASIS WHERE THEY CAN USE THEIR EQUIPMENT AND MAN POWER TO DO THE PAINTING AND CHARGE BACK TO THE AIRPORT FOR THE COST OF THE PAINT. MR. HENDERSON WILL GET BACK TO MR. VAN ANTWERP IN 3-4 DAYS TO LET HIM KNOW THE STATUS. MR.

VAN ANTWERP ADVISED THAT THE HERBICIDING PROGRAM IS GOING FORWARD DEPENDENT UPON THE AVAILABILITY OF EQUIPMENT AND ?WE WEATHER. MOST OF THE HEAVY AREAS HAVE BEEN COVERED. MR. VAN ANTWERP TALKED TO MR. FISHER ABOUT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS AND HE RECOMMENDED THAT WE GO TO LIME ROCK. HE WANTED TO LOOK AT IT BEFORE GIVING A PRICE. THE PORTION OF ROAD IN QUESTION RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH BEHIND GOLDEN HORN TO FLY FLORIDA. A CULVERT HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT IN AND DRAINING SATISFACTORILY. THE MONEY FOR THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED (ORIGINALLY FOR A MARL ROAD) BUT IT WAS AGREED THAT LIME ROCK WOULD BE MORE SATISFACTORY AND WOULD NOT COST THAT MUCH MORE. MR. VAN ANTWERP ATTENDED ?WE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PUD ORDINANCE AND REMINDED THE CITY COUNCIL TO BE SURE ANY PLANNING FOR PUD INCLUDED THE STATE REQUIRE- MENT THAT ANY PROPERTIES SOLD IN A NOISY ENVIRONMENT (SUCH AS AN AIRPORT) SHOULD SO SPECIFY IN THE DEED NOTIFYING PROSPECTIVE BUYERS. HE ALSO ASKED THEM TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE RUNWAY APPROACH WOULD BE ADJACENT TO A PART OF THE PUD. MR. VAN ANTWERP WAS OF THE OPINION THAT AN ORDINANCE SHOULD BE WRITTEN SPELLING THIS OUT. MR. VAN DE VOORDE READ A LETTER THAT HE HAD WRITTEN TO THE CITY COUNCIL REQUESTING THEM TO DIRECT THEIR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. MR. VAN ANTWERP HAS NOT HEARD ANYTHING REGARDING THE VASI SYSTEM AND HAS NOT TALKED TO FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT ABOUT SECURITY LIGHTING. HE WAS MORE OR LESS WAITING FOR A COUNCILMAN TO BE APPOINTED IN CHARGE OF LIGHTING. COUNCIL- MAN SZELUGA ASKED WHAT THE LIGHTING COMMITTEE OF THE CITY HAD TO DO WITH SECURITY LIGHTING AT THE AIRPORT AND CHAIRMAN PALUCH EXPLAINED THAT THE APPOINTED COUNCILMAN ACTS AS LIASION WITH THE FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY. THIS BODY RECOMMENDED TO FORMER VICE MAYOR GASS, (WHO WAS THE STREET LIGHT CHAIRMAN) WHAT WE WANTED, HE CONCURRED, AND APPROACHED FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. BASICALLY, WE'RE TALKING STREET LIGHTS. COUNCILMAN SZELUGA STATED HE FELT THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING THE STREET LIGHT COMMITTEE INVOLVED IN THIS, THE AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD SHOULD HAVE MORE JURISDICTION THAN JUST AN ADVISORY CAPACITY. HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN AIRPORT AUTHORITY THAT HAS FULL AUTHORITY AND NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE CITY. THE COUNCIL COULD MAKE POLICY UP TO A POINT AND THEN THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY COULD GO AHEAD AND DO THEIR JOB AT THE AIRPORT. HE THOUGHT THE BOARD SHOULD WRITE A LETTER TO THE COUNCIL STATING THAT THE BOARD .FEELS AIRPORT LIGHTING IS NEEDED AND REQUEST THAT IT BE DONE. CHAIRMAN PALUCH READ THE ORDINANCE OUTLING POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE BOARD. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT TO THE CITY COUNCIL IF ANY CHANGES WERE TO BE RECOMMENDED. MR. VAN DE VOORDE ASKED IF A DECISION HAD DEFINITELY BEEN MADE THAT THE CONCRETE PIPE WAS NOT WANTED BY THE CITY OF MELBOURNE. ~E BOARD SECRETARY READ A LETTER DATED APRIL 7 FROM THE CITY OF MELBOURNE STATING THEY WOULD ACCEPT THE PIPE PENDING AN INSPECTION AND APPROVAL BY THEIR STREETS SUPER- INTENDENT. MR. BARBOLINE ADVISED THAT HE HAD BEEN AT THE AIRPORT WITH MAYOR FLOOD TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE PIPE. THERE FOLLOWED A DISCUSSION OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDING 3/31/83. IT WAS NOTED THAT COMPLETE HOMES INC. HAS NOT YET' PAID THEIR QUARTERLY RENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $225. WHICH WAS DUE 3/18/83. MR. VAN ANTWERP OFFERED TO CONTACT THEM. THE REPORT INCLUDED $5,000. RENT PAID BY THE GOLF COURSE AND MR. KENNEY REMARKED THAT HE THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PAY $10,000. CHAIRMAN PALUCH STATED THERE WAS NEVER ANY FORMAL AGREEMENT. AT THE JOINT MEETING THAT WAS HELD EVERYTHING WAS AGREED TO EXCEPT FOR ONE BASIC ITEM - THE ACREAGE. MAYOR FLOOD WAS SUPPOSED TO GET US THAT FIGURE, BUT WITH ALL THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON, HE JUST HAS NOT GOTTEN AROUND TO IT. MR. VAN ANTWERP ADVISED THAT HE AND THE CITY ENGINEER HAVE WORKED OUT THE ACREAGE FIGURE AND GAVE IT TO THE MAYOR. THERE IS NO AGREEMENT AS TO HOW THE MONEY IS TO BE PAID OR HOW MANY ACRES, BUT WE DID AGREE ON HOW MUCH AN ACRE - $2500. (10% OF APPRAISED VALUE) - $3750. PER MONTH BASED ON 150 ACRES (1ST 5 YEARS) STARTING WITH DATE OF OPENING. CHAIRMAN PALUCH FELT THAT SINCE WE HAVE AGREED WITH THE GOLF COURSE COMMITTEE AS TO ALL THE PERAMETERS, THE MONEY DUE THE AIRPORT FUND IS STILL CREDITABLE AS REVENUE AND IF THE MONEY WAS NEEDED, THEY WOULD BE GOOD FOR IT. THE $5000. IS A GOOD FAITH GESTURE. IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT AT THAT JOINT' MEETING THE CITY ENGINEER WAS TO COME BACK WITHIN 7 DAYS WITH AN ACTUAL ACREAGE FIGURE. MR. DE JOIA WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THIS MATTER HAD GONE LONG ENOUGH AND THE TRUE FIGURE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE BOARD. MOTION BY MR. DE JOIA, SECONDED BY MR.
