MINUTES AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1987 COX FIELD TERMINAL . PARIS, TEXAS The meeting was called to order by Chairman Bill Booth at 6:00 P.M. The following members were present: Bill Boothe, Chairman Jim Collier, Airport Manager Eric Clifford Joe Burress Greta Greb Members absent: J.W. Ashmore, Secretary. The minutes of the January meeting were reviewed and approved as written. OLD BUSINESS: The refueling ordinance as put forth by the Paris City Council is perceived to be discriminatory in that the ordinance requiring liabil- ity insurance required for self- fueling an airplane is limited to tenants or lease - holders at Cox Field. Information given to the Advisory Board by Charlie Thomas, local insurance agent, regarding aircraft liability insurance indicated that a possibility of liability might exist if an individual refueled his or her own airplane. However: AVEMCO has an exclusion if the wrong fuel is put in an airplane, also unless an explosion takes place while refueling is in progress, aircraft liability insurance would not cover it. This would be considered an on premises liability situation. Airplanes coming in and out would not be covered by Ordinance or gas being brought on to airport and removed after fueling would not be covered. A motion by Eric Clifford and 2nd'ed by Joe Burress to again recommend the City either remove or modify said refueling ordinance on the grounds that it is discriminatory and in non- compliance with F.A.A. The vote was unanimous.
