0 not 16 prc4 <br />(in two locations) concerning an amendment to a previous resolution <br />creating the Joint Airport Commission. The minutes should read <br />"Board of Commissioners for the County of Lee". Commissioner Moretz <br />moved to amend the resolution entitled "Amendment to Previous <br />Resolution Creating Joint Airport Commission" which was adopted by <br />the Board and appears in the minutes of the meeting held on August 3, <br />1992, by deleting the words "Aldermen of the City of Sanford" in the <br />resolving clause and in Section 3, and in lieu thereof inserting the <br />words "Commissioners for the County of Lee" so that as amended the <br />resolving clause reads as follows: "NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED <br />by the Board of Commissioners for the County of Lee as follows:", and <br />Section 3 reads as follows: "Section 3. All resolutions of the <br />Board of Commissioners for the County of Lee in conflict herewith are <br />hereby repealed." Commissioner Reives seconded the motion. <br />Commissioner Moretz made the following statement, "The fact that I <br />have a small airport near Northview has absolutely nothing to do with <br />the operation of the new airport. If the new airport is built it <br />will not effect my operation one iota. My opposition stems from two <br />simple things 1) fiscal integrity and 2) necessity. This nation <br />cannot afford a new airport nor do we need it. What we need is <br />water, sewer, good schools and low crime which will bring development <br />to this County and not airports. This new airport will bring federal <br />money to build a runway and perhaps a taxiway but we'll be left with <br />a shell out there and we will wonder what went wrong. There will be <br />a few people who will make money on this project and I congratulate <br />them but the vast majority of people will lose on this project". He <br />further stated, "I would like to point out that there are those who <br />have said Lee County will be the laughing stock of the state and <br />nation if this project fails and we don't get this money - I don't <br />want to see that happen, and so I'm prepared to shut up about it and <br />let it go on, if it goes on, but if it fails be prepared for the I <br />told you so that will follow. If it succeeds I'll be the first one <br />to praise it". He further stated, "Franklin County has been said to <br />be strongly similar to the airport we will get. They have been in <br />operation for one and one-half years and they have twelve (12) <br />airplanes on their ramp and no hangars. I think the Federal money is <br />only going to pay for a landing strip and perhaps a taxiway out north <br />of town". Upon a vote of the motion, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Cox, Dossenbach, Garner, Moretz, Reives, Stafford and <br />Wicker <br />Nay: None <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. <br />The Board considered a deed of conveyance and preservation <br />agreement requested by The Lee County Arts & Community Center, Inc. <br />with respect to the Lee County Arts Center. County Attorney K.R. <br />Hoyle explained to the Board he had prepared a deed to convey the <br />Vas <br />8 <br />
