THERE FOLLOWED A LENGTHY DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE BOARD AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF FLORIDA
SKYWAYS RE NON-PAYMENT OF FUEL FEES AND PARKING FEES. MR. VAN ANTWERP STATED THAT IN
A LETTER DATED AUGUST 13 FROM CITY ATTORNEY PALMER, HE ADVISED THAT THE SUB LEASE
PROVIDES FOR PAYMENT OF FUEL FEES, BUT DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR THE PAYMENT OF PARKING
FEES FOR AIRCRAFT PARKED ON AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE THREE ACRES LEASED. ATTORNEY PALMER
RECOMMENDED THAT SOME SORT OF AGREEMENT SHOULD BE DRAWN UP. MR. KENNEY SUGGESTED
THAT ANY DOCUMENT DRAWN UP SHOULD INCLUDE THAT ANY PERSON LEASING PROPERTY SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO PUT IN TIE-DOWN FACILITIES AND COLLECT RENT FOR THE CITY PLUS RENT FOR
THEMSELVES AND MAINTAIN THAT AREA. THE AMOUNT OF TIE-DOWNS BEING APPROPRIATE TO
AMOUNT OF AIRCRAFT HANDLED. ANY TRANSIENT AIRCRAFT HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO
COORDINATE WITH WHOEVER HAS TIE-DOWNS USING THE CURRENT ESTABLISHED PRICES AS DESIG-
NATED BY THE CITY. MR. VAN ANTWERP WILL GET WITH ATTORNEY PALMER AND BRING THIS
BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING. THE FLORIDA SKYWAYS REPRESENTATIVE MAINTAINED THAT THEY
HAVE NOT BEEN SELLING ANY FUEL AND HE WAS REQUESTED TO WRITE A LETTER TO THAT EFFECT.
HE PROMISED TO BRING THE INSURANCE POLICY UP TO DATE.
MRS. PALMER LEFT THE MEETING AT 4:56 P.M.
MR. VAN ANTWERP REPORTED THAT COMPLETE HOMES HAS TURNED BACK THEIR LEASE TO GOLD STAR
AERO, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY REPORTED TO THE CITY. NEITHER COMPLETE HOMES
NOR GOLD STAR AERO HAS PAID ANY RENT WHICH IS NOW 90 DAYS PAST DUE, AND INSURANCE
IS NOT UP TO DATE. A LETTER HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM ATTORNEY GREGORY GORE ADVISING
THAT ALL OF THIS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
MOTION BY MR. VAN DE VOORDE, SECONDED BY MR. KENNEY, THAT THE AIRPORT MANAGER WRITE
A LETTER TO THE CITY ATTORNEY ADVISING THAT IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS NO
LIABILITY INSURANCE ON FILE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY THAT IS CURRENTLY LEASED BY
COMPLETE HOMES AND/OR GOLD STAR AERO, AND WE ARE CONCERNED WITH THAT FACT. CARRIED.
MOTION BY MR. VAN DE VOORDE, SECONDED BY MR. MEGUIN, TO REQUEST THE CITY COUNCIL TO
EVICT THE TENANT - COMPLETE HOMES/GOLD STAR AERO - FOR VIOLATIONS OF LEASE: NON-
PAYMENT OF RENT, FAILURE TO FILE INSURANCE, FAILURE TO DOCUMENT ANY RE-ASSIGNMENT
OF SUB-LEASE. CARRIED.
MR. VAN ANTWERP PRESENTED TWO QUOTES FROM FISCHER & SONS TO GRADE AND CROWN THE ROAD
ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT FROM ROSELAND ROAD INTO AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO
FLORIDA SKYWAYS - 1260' OF ROADWAY 18' WIDE, 4" IN DEPTH - $9558.; 6" IN DEPTH -
$11,700. HE POINTED OUT THAT THIS ITEM WOULD HAVE TO GO TO BID.
MR. GILBERT SWIGER PRESENTED A REQUEST TO LEASE 3 ACRES AT THE AIRPORT FOR THE PURPOSE
OF ERECTING STEEL SHADE HANGARS TO BE RENTED OUT, STARTING WITH 3 AND EXPANDING AS
NEEDED. MR. VAN ANTWERP COMMENTED THAT THIS BOARD SHOULD HAVE A DOCUMENT FOR MINIMUM
STANDARDS FOR FIXED BASE OPERATORS WHICH ESTABLISHED WHAT A FBO CAN AND CANNOT DO.
UNDER FAA GUIDELINES AIRCRAFT STORAGE AND T HANGARS IS USUALLY A PART THAT IS RESERVED
FOR FBO'S AND WHAT MR. SWIGER PROPOSES TO DO SHOULD BE DONE BY A TENANT THAT IS ALREADY
THERE. HE ADDED THAT THIS IS WHAT HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET TOGETHER TO DO. THE
PROBLEM IS REGULATING WHAT DOES ON IN THE T HANGARS OTHER THAN STORAGE. HE STRESSED
THAT THIS TYPE OF OPERATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED BY THE OPERATOR ALREADY THERE, AND
THE CITY SHOULD GIVE HIM SOME KIND OF PROTECTION. MR. SWIGER STATED THAT WHILE IT
IS INTENTION TO JUST RENT THE HANGARS FOR STORAGE AT THE OUTSET, IN THE FUTURE HE
DID NOT EXPECT TO LIMIT HIMSELF TO THAT.
MR. VAN DE VOORDE REMARKED THAT HE HAD A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THIS MATTER AND
WOULD SIGN A FORM SINCE HE REPRESENTS MR. VAN ANTWERP AS HIS ATTORNEY AND MADE A
MOTION TO TABLE UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING SO THAT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS CAN BE
ADDRESSED. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
MOTION BY MR. KENNEY, SECONDED BY MR. MEGUIN, THAT WE APPROVE APPLICATION FOR LEASE
UNDER THE GUIDELINES FOR BUILDING SITE PLAN APPROVAL WHICH WILL BE DICTATED BY THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. CARRIED.
MR. VAN ANTWERP ADVISED THAT THERE ARE GUIDELINES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED IN SELECTING
AN AIRPORT CONSULTANT. A SHORT LIST SHOULD BE MADE FROM THE 10 APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
AND THOSE CONSULTANTS INVITED TO APPEAR.
MOTION BY MR. VAN DE VOORDE, SECONDED BY MR. KENNEY, TO SET UP A COMMITTEE MADE UP
OF MR. PALUCH AS CHAIRMAN, MR. VAN DE VOORDE, MR. DE JOIA AND MR. VAN ANTWERP AS AN
EX OFFICIO MEMBER TO GET TOGETHER TO FORMULATE THROUGH THE GUIDELINES A SHORT LIST
