by Chairman Rick Rex. Board members present were: Dr. Edward Keller, Gene
Sudduth and Kristina Campbell, Secretary. Also present were: Jim Collier,
Airport Manager, Billie Wrenn, Jimmy Wrenn, Zeb Smith and Ann Wilson and
Associates.
Approve minutes: Kristina Campbell asked that the minutes be corrected to
include under the heading: ANNUAL REVIEW OF OPERATIONAL PERMITS, the name
of Roger Boxwell of Paris Center for Aviation for a permit to perform airframe
and power plant maintenance. Mr. Boxwell's permit was recommended by the
Board for approval but his name was left off the list included in the minutes.
The minutes were approved as corrected.
Call for items on next agenda: Mr. Sudduth asked that the January 31 meeting
be a workshop to consider the matters of agricultural spraying, airport
promotion and the formation of an airport authority. The Board decided it
would consider these matters for a possible workshop as they came up on the
agenda during the meeting.
Financial Report: Mr. Rex asked if there was any discussion concerning either
the revenue report or the budget report. He noted that 32.8% of the budgeted
amount for water and gas had been spent. Mr. Collier reported that $823.00
had been spent to repair the water system.
Mr. Collier stated that Cox Field was going to be hooked up to the Lamar County
Water system. This would require a capital outlay of $14,000.
Mrs. Campbell noted that this amount was not in the current year's budget. Mr.
Collier remarked this was true.
Review Recommendations and Actions,of the City Council: Mr. Rex stated there
has been no response or acknowledgement of the letter sent by him to City
Council concerning the Airport Board's recommendation that a line shack be
constructed.
Mr. Rex stated Mayor Joe Graham had telephoned that day concerning the Council's
request that a study be made on the effect of discontinuing agricultural spray
operations at Cox Field. This call was in response to Mr. Rex's letter to
Mayor Graham asking for clarification of his November 28, 1983 letter to the
Board. Mr. Rex stated he expected the Mayor to appear for the discussion on
this matter later in the evening.
Jim Collier asked for Item #4 of the Agenda under NEW BUSINESS be taken up at
this time. Mr. Rex called for Item 4.
Discussion on Receiving Bids for Gas and Oil at Cox Field: Mr. Collier read
letters from Tex Jet Inc. of Dallas and Kerr McGee expressing interest in
bidding on the oil and gas sales for Cox Field. Each company quoted prices
for fuel, gave a list of credit cards accepted and stated what marketing
practices it followed.
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.

PARIS, TEXAS
The Airport Advisory Board of the City of Paris met for a workshop meeting
Wednesday, February 29, 1984 at 5:15 P.M. at the Chamber of Commerce Office
Building, Paris, Texas with the following members present:
1. Richard Rex - Chairman
2. Dr. Edward Keller
3. Bill Boothe
4. Kristina Campbell - Secretary
Also present were Jim Collier, Airport Manager, Bruce Conklin, Pat Ryan
of the Chamber of Commerce.and Joe Graham, Mayor.
Richard Rex called the workshop meeting to order and introduced Mayor Joe
Graham.
Mayor Graham asked to speak first about item three on the workshop agenda:
LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR COX FIELD - Mayor Graham reported that the liability
insurance at Cox Field has been increased from $300,000 to $1,000,000 per
incident. The City has hired the Wyatt Risk Management Group to conduct a
study of the City's complete insurance package and will then report to City
Council.
Mr. Rex stated that the Advisory Board had no need to study the liability
insurance at Cox Field at this time.
1. DISCUSS METHODS TO BE USED IN STUDY OF "EFFECTS OF DISCONTINUING
AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS ON COX FIELD."
Mr. Rex asked Mayor Graham to clarify what the Council wants the Advisory
Board to do.
Mayor Graham stated the Council during the hearing over Mr. Wrenn's permit
became concerned and confused over the rules covering agricultural aircraft
operations. The Council did not understand how agricultural aircraft were
required to act in the traffic pattern.
The Council wishes the board to express their opinion on:
1) Whether agricultural operations be based at Cox Field - (meaning:
hangaring, chemical-storage and filling of tanks and not ag. aircraft
who are only refueling.)
2) If agricultural operations detrimental to the public good; and
3) If its advantageous to the Airport to have agricultural operations
based at the Airport.
During a discussion about Airport operations Mr. Collier reported that the
Ag pilots not permanently based at the Airport are located on the east side
of the field and are using the two shorter runways. The men permanently based
at the Airport are using RWY 17 -35, because their water and chemicals are
located near the fueling ramp.
The Mayor and the Board expressed concern over the safety of the incoming
and landing aircraft at Cox Field when the immediate runway and Airport
property are being sprayed.
Mr. Collier stated that this usually occurred only twice a year.
The Mayor and Board discussed closing the Airport during the spraying of the
airport property. The person doing the spraying should make prior arrangements
in writing with the Airport Manager.
Mr. Boothe moved that a letter be written to the Paris City Council stating
the following:
1. Agricultural operations are in the public interest.
2. Agricultural operations are beneficial to Cox Field.
3. Agricultural operations should be allowed to continue at Cox Field.
4. Written procedures should be drawn up to insure that FAA Regulations
Part 91 and Part 137 are followed during agricultural operations
at Cox Field, particularly during the actual spraying of the Airport
property, so as to insure that no compromise of safety is made by
the agricultural pilots or airport management.
Kristina Campbell seconded the motion. Motion passed 4 -0.
Mayor Graham thanked the Board for their advise on agricultural operations
at Cox Field. Mr. Rex thanked Mayor Graham for coming to the workshop to
explain Council's request to the Board.
Following Mayor Graham's departure from the meeting, the Board continued to
discuss the matter of safety during spraying of Airport property. Jim Collier
was asked to further explain the frequency and type of spraying required by
the lease holder of the land surrounding the runways.
Mr. Collier explained that Jimmy Wrenn, as a favor to the City, filled his
tanks with water at the end of his spraying sessions, and flew up and down
the runways spraying the water and residual chemicals. This helps the City
to keep the weeds down and off the runway, Mr. Collier stated Mr. Wrenn
has his permission to do this.
Mrs. Campbell expressed her displeasure with Mr. Collier's failure to mention
this flying activity of Mr. Wrenn's while Mayor Graham was at the meeting.
Mrs. Campbell stated she was sure that emptying tanks of water and residual
chemical was not an agricultural operation as defined in FAR Part 137.
Dr. Keller wondered what the EPA rules concerning chemical disposal are and
what they would say about the chemical disposal method being used at Cox
Field.
2. DISCUSSION ON MEANS OF PROMOTING COX FIELD - Pat Ryan of the Paris Chamber
of Commerce was introduced to the board. Mr. Ryan discussed what the Chamber
of Commerce has done and could do in promoting the Airport.
Mr. Ryan suggested the Advisory Board hold a workshop with the Industrial
Committee, Visitor and Convention Council and Air Service Committee of the
Lamar County Chamber of Commerce. He also suggested Ridley Briggs, Leo
Morrison, David Doty, Mayor Joe Graham be invited and other industrial and
community leaders.
Mr. Rex and the board prepared the agenda for the next regular meeting to
be held on Monday, March 19 at the Airport Terminal Building at 5:30 P.M.
The workshop adjourned.

City. This shortfall would result due to the removal of fuel sales from the
City coffers.
3. Financial reports - No discussion on this item.
4. Review of recommendations and actions of City Council - Mrs. Campbell asked
if she could discuss the proposed local rules for agricultural operations which
the board had voted not to recommend to the City at the April meeting. Mrs.
Campbell stated she had been absent at the April meeting due to a car wreck
and wished time to express her opinions. Mr. Rex said Mrs. Campbell could
have time.
Mrs. Campbell said she was for the rules proposed by the City for agricultural
operations. A discussion on the matter by the members of the board, Mr. Doty,

Mr. Haynes to leave the meeting after the discussion.
Discussion on Hangar Rental Agreement and Tie Down Fees - Mrs. Campbell asked
that some action be taken reguarding the hangar lease agreement, The agreement
voted on by the City Council had not been put into use due to the displeasure
of the Airport Board over the wording of the agreement.
Mr. Haynes stated the agreement was a standard form taken from a book on
municipal documents. As he recalled the disagreement over wording centered
on the cities right to inspect the premises without prior notice.
Mr. Boothe and Mr. Burress agreed this was their area of concern and if this
point could be rewritten then they would recommend the new document.
Mr. Rex asked Mr. Boothe and Mr. Burress to work with Mr. Haynes to re -write
the part 10 of the Hangar Lease Agreement.
Mr. Doty thanked the Board for being asked to attend the meeting and left.
Mr. Haynes, Mr. Boothe and Mr. Burress discussed the wording of the lease.

the Airport Board accept the revised Hangar Lease Agreement and recommend
the City accept its use and that the City drop the tie down agreement. The
motion passed 3 ayes, 2 nays.

present this matter to the Board.
Mr. Boxwell and Mr. Sadler asked in their presentation to become fixed base
operators at Cox Field. They stressed the need for speedy consideration of
the matter because the main flying season of summer and fall produce revenues
which allow FBO to remain in business during the lean months.
Mr. Boxwell told the Board he has held a permit from the City of Paris for
two years to do business at Cox Field in the area of aircraft maintenance
and inspection.
Mr. Sadler told the Board he has over 10,000 hours flying time and is
currently flying pipeline inspections. He has bachlors degrees in aviation

COX FIELD TERMINAL
PARIS, TEXAS
The Airport Advisory Board of the City of Paris met at the Cox Field Terminal
Building on Tuesday, November 27, 1984, for the monthly meeting.
The following members were present: Richard Rex, Chairman, Joe Burress, Bill
Boothe, Dr. Edward Keller and Kristina Campbell, Secretary.
Also present were: Jim Collier, Airport Manager, Austin Ellis, Jim Wrenn,
Bryan Haygood and Ann Wilson.
1. Approve minutes: Approved as mailed.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Review of fuel, oil and auto gas bid procedures: Ann Wilson of Wilson Oil
Co. of Paris, Texas was present at the meeting to discuss Mobil Oil Company's
position on the sale of auto gas as a fuel for aircraft. Wilson Oil is the
supplier for fuel at Cox Field.
Mr. Rex asked Mrs. Wilson be allowed to speak at this point in the meeting.
Mr. Rex asked Mrs. Campbell to explain why she wished auto fuel or MOGAS to be
sold at Cox Field.
Mrs. Campbell said many airplane models now held supplemental type certificates
(S.T.C.'s) issued by the FAA allowing them to use MOGAS. She felt a market
existed and Cox Field should begin sale of MOGAS. Mrs. Campbell reminded the
Advisory Board Mobil had written a letter to their aviation dealers stating
their opposition to the use of auto gas in airplanes. In this letter, which
was posted on the Operations Office bulletin board, Mobil threatened to
withdraw fuel sales from dealers if they sold the auto gas for airplanes.
With this opposition of Mob,1l to MOGAS in mind Mrs. Campbell suggested the
Airport Advisory Board seek a supplier other than Mobil. Mrs. Wilson said
Mobil had not changed their opposition to MOGAS and would not sell it to their
dealers. The reason given was they did not wish to provide the care necessary
in handling auto gas for use in aircraft. The FAA requires special care be
used in the handling of any fuel put into aircraft and anyone handling aircraft
fuel is liable for any accidents caused by mishandling of fuel.
Jim Wrenn, speaking to the board said he was a life time member of the Experi-
mental Aircraft Association, the group responsible for obtaining the S.T.C's
available on many of the aircraft holding that type of certificate. Mr. Wrenn
said he held S.T.C.'s on several of the aircraft he owns. The S.T.C's call for
several modifications to be made on the aircraft before MOGAS could be used.
He said these were changing fuel cells and having the proper full valve needle
for MOGAS.
Mr. Wrenn doubted many people would hold S.T.C.'s and therefore most MOGAS
sales would be to aircraft that could not legally use the fuel.
After discussion on MOGAS sales the Board took no action due to fear of the
liability which they would incur from the sale of auto gas.
Mr. Rex asked Mr. Collier to explain the procedure for taking bids on AVGAS
and jet fuel for Cox Field. Mr. Rex noted the City, when taking bids, looked
at the price and service offered by a company. After listening to Mr. Collier's
explaination of bid letting procedures, the Advisory Board noted there is no
way to get a fixed price bid from any oil company.
Joe Burress recommended Jim Collier contact all local fuel dealers and ask if
they wished to participate in bidding on fuel sales at Cox Field. The Board
agreed that this practice should be followed at least once a year and wished
Mr. Collier would report on the matter at the next board meeting.
2. Call for items for next agenda: Mr. Rex asked that two items be placed
on the agenda under OLD BUSINESS:
1. Report from Jim Collier on local fuel suppliers and their wish to
bid on fuel sales at Cox Field.
2. Report on balance in Airport royality fund.
3. Financial Report: The Board briefly studied the October budget report.
4. Actions of City Council: Mr. Boothe asked what action the City Council
had taken on the Boxwell - Sadler F.B.O. proposal. Mr. Collier noted that
Mr. Boxwell was no longer involved in the F.B.O. plans. The City Council
had not taken any action on Mr. Sadler's F.B.O. offer.

Airport Advisory Board member. Mr. Boothe's permit was to be voted on separately.
