A discussion followed with Mr. Boothe and Mr. Sudduth strongly against tie - down fees because they did not think tie -down regulations could be enforced. Mrs. Campbell and Dr. Keller stated they were for the tie -down fees because it would: 1) guarantee permanent assigned spaces for local pilots and 2) enhance airport revenues. Motion was made by Mr. Sudduth, seconded by Mr. Rex: The Board recommends that tie -down fees not be imposed at this time. Motion passed 2 -1, with Dr. Keller and Mr. Boothe abstaining because of personal interests, both with aircraft subject to these fees. Mr. Sudduth and Mr. Boothe stated they felt the intent and recommendations of the Board are being ignored. They said the Board met in June with T.K. Haynes and David Doty to discuss what the City wished the Board to do in their work. They wondered what the Council wished them to do if they are not going to consider the advice of the Airport Board. OLD BUSINESS: 1.
