Item No. 11 Memorandum TO: City Council Grayson Path, City Manager FROM: Stephanie H. Harris, City Attorney SUBJECT: DOCUMENTS AFFECTING RETIREMENT OF JERRY RICHIE FROM AIRPORT MANAGEMENT DUTIES AND FIXED BASE OPERATOR DUTIES AT COX FIELD AIRPORT DATE: July 12, 2021 BACKGROUND: As you will recall, at a previous meeting, Council approved in principle a separation agreement between the city and Jerry Richey regarding his contracts as airport manager and FBO manager. Tonight you have in front of you documents to affect that change. STATUS OF ISSUE: Before you for your approval are three documents: A termination of the FBO agreement; a termination of the airport management agreement; and a bill of sale. Both agreements provide that Mr. Richey will stay on as a consultant 40 hours per week until the city has hired, and Mr. Richey has trained, a new employee to manage these duties. The weekly rate is $1,200.00. After the employee has been trained, Mr. Richey will be available for consultations at the hourly rate of $30.00 with a $30.00 call out fee, and for telephone consultations at no charge. BUDGET: The impact to the budget will be as set forth above, but will be offset by the revenues from fuel sales once the FBO agreement is terminated. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the termination of the FBO management agreement, the termination of the airport management agreement, and the bill of sale documents and authorize the City Manager to execute same.
