Mrs. Ann Wilson of Wilson Oil Company, Paris, Texas, current supplier of fuel and oil to the Airport, appeared. Mrs. Wilson quoted her Company's fuel prices and also explained the advantages to the user when being supplied by a local distributor of Mobil Oil. Mr. Rex thanked Mrs. Wilson for her appearance. He then explained that the Board could only recommend that bids be taken for the oil and gas. It was not the job of the board, unless requested by Council, to decide which gas company to recommend. Mr. Sudduth moved that the City begin to ask for bids on aviation fuel and oil. Dr. Keller seconded the motion. The motion passed 4 -0. OLD BUSINESS Airport Promotion: Mr. Rex stated the Airport's location is going to be enhanced by the addition of county water. The Board agreed after discussion to take up Airport promotion at a workshop on January 31. Concept of Forming an Airport Authority: The Board decided to cover this at a workshop in the future. NEW BUSINESS: New Permits: None Effect of Agricultural Operations on Cox Field: Since Mayor Graham had not been able to appear as he had hoped for this discussion and the Board felt it needed his input, the matter will be the first item on the Agenda for a workshop to be held on January 31, 1984. Radio Tower: The Board discussed the question of whether a notice had been posted of the construction of the tower owned by Airways Inc. southeast of the Airport. Zeb Smith, owner of the tower, gave the Board information as to the date his company requested a permit for the tower construction and the subsequent dates for follow up requests and permit issuances. Mr. Smith felt the Board questioned his right to construct the tower. The Board stated they were only concerned with whether Mr. Collier had properly posted the tower construction application notice, as this was a matter of pilot safety. It was moved by Dr. Keller and seconded by Gene Sudduth that the meeting be adjourned. The motion passed 4 -0.
