Discussion of and possible action on making recommendations to the City <br />Council regarding management of the Airport by the Fixed Base Operator. <br />Chairman Abeles advised member Richey that he would need to excuse <br />himself from the room because he has a conflict of interest with regard to this <br />item.

Motion carried 5 -0. <br />Chairman Abeles explained to the Board that the City Council, in order to save <br />money, had directed that the airport management responsibilities be <br />contracted to the FBO. He was concerned that they had done this without <br />seeking input from the Board. Mr. Fasken asked if there was any difference <br />between a part -time manager and a full -time contract manager in the eyes of <br />the FAA, and Chairman Abeles stated that a progressive airport has neither. <br />Mr. Morrell asked why the FBO could not be full time, and Mr. Fasken added <br />that he did not think we would lose quality of management. After discussion, <br />the consensus of the Board was that they supported the move to allow the <br />
