In order to defray the salaries of extra personnel it is recommended that the cost of jet fuel be increased 15¢ per gallon, from $1.45 to $1.60, and that all grades of fuel be increased by 5� per gallon at night, meaning those hours when the runway lights are on the security system should be under the direction of the Police Department. The new protection procedure should be reviewed by the Airport Board and the City Council in six months to determine of the increased revenues are covering the additional costs. Motion was made by O'Brien and seconded by Hagood Vote was unanimous. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Louise Hagood Secretary
