c. Board Recommendation - the Board recommended the current requirement of general liability insurance be continued. However, the Board took the position that requiring fire or casualty insurance of the tenant to the benefit of the City as a co-insured, should not be a requirement of the lease. The Board further recommended that the City should be responsible for obtaining its own insurance for this particular purpose. Related to this issue is a letter from City Clerk, Mattie Cunningham, detailing her discussion with the City's TML and other insurance carriers on this issue (Exhibit 6). This letter was presented to the Airport Advisory Board at the time this issue was deliberated. The City Council needs to determine how extensive and how much insurance the tenant should be required to obtain as part of the new policy on private hangars. V. Structure of Airport Advisory Board. Exhibit 3 includes as a separate part of the questionnaire information sought from the respective cities regarding whether or not they have an Airport Advisory Board, and if so how that board is constituted. As you will note, most of the Boards have a membership of seven (7) members; however, two boards are eight (8) and nine (9) members respectively, two boards have five (5) members, and two boards have (6) members. The Airport Advisory Board of the City of Paris has varied in its number of inembers. The earliest resolution available in the City Legal Department files indicate that the board membership consisted of a Chairman and six members (seven (7) total) in 1970 (Resolution No. 1354); was reduced to five (5) members by Resolution No. 1538 sometime before 1974; was later expanded to six (6) members by Resolution No. 1646 in 1974; was reduced in size to five (5) members by Resolution No. 1722 in December of 1975; and was expanded to its current membership of seven (7) by Resolution No. 89-095 in August of 1989. The survey also indicates that some boards have requirements with regard to the members who serve on those boards. In addition, the board members themselves have widely varying background as reflected in Exhibit 3. Some members have had the emphasis on pilots and airport related individuals; some boards have a cross-section of the community; some require residency as a condition of inembership on the board, and one board requires a member of city council. The Paris Airport Advisory Board has recommended that the size ofthe board be expanded to eleven (11) members. It should be noted that one of the concerns expressed as a justification for expanding the board was the need to continue to have a quorum for board meetings. The most recent attendance record for the Airport Advisory Board is included in this agenda information package as Exhibit 7. It is worthy of noting that for the eleven (11) meetings held in calendar year 2001, the board had a quorum for each of those meetings. -7-
