4 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL February 8, 1988 The City Council of the City of Paris met in regular session, Monday, February 8, 1988, 7:00 P. M. Council Room, City Hall, Paris, Texas. Mayor Billy Joe Burnett called the meeting to order with the following Councilmen present: Bill Bone, Eric Clifford, Marshall H. Kent, Jr., and Travis Wortham. Also present was City Manager, Michael E. Malone, and City Clerk, Mattie Cunningham. Prayer was offered by Reverend Eddie Renfro, Minister of the United Pentecostal Church. Mayor Burnett asked if there were any corrections to the minutes of previous meetings, there being none, the minutes were approved as presented. Mayor Burnett called for receipt of reports from committees, boards, and commissions. Councilman Eric Clifford, Chairman of the Cox Field Airport Committee, reported that the Committee met January 21, 1988, and the Committee's recommendation was to accept the assignment of the Fixed Based Operator's lease from Roger Sadler DBA Saber Aviation to J. R. Richey Inc. Basically the City will take over additional mowing responsibility at Cox Field in return for additional fuel flowage fees which would be increased from one cent per gallon to five cents per gallon. Councilman Clifford stated the committee felt this was the best alternative for the City, also there was a question as to the purchase of assignment of the lease provision under the repurchase of the jet fuel truck at Cox Field, and the only way this lease could be reassigned would be for Mr. Richey to take the jet fuel truck along with its obligations to resale it to the City at the set value as it is now. Councilman Clifford told the Council that Mr. Richey has presented provisions where the City would have the right to purchase the jet fuel truck at fair market value which would be determined by appraisals given by three persons who are dealers in used airport ground equipment. Mr. Clifford told the Council that Mr. Richey would also be reducing the cost of fuel by approximately 30 cents per gallon which would increase the fuel sales. Mr. J. B. Richey, Route 1, Cooper, Texas appeared before the Council telling them his appraisal of the truck is $10,000.00, and feels this a fair price. Mr. Richey requested the Council to consider his recommended provisions to the lease. City Manager Malone advised the Council that minutes of the Paris Lamar County Board of Health and the Water and Sewer Rate Study Advisory Committee had been furnished with no action required. City Manager Malone did point out the roof at the Paris Lamar County Health Unit was in need of repair and would need to be considered in our next physical year along with Lamar County.
