908 15 vmx 765 <br />COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS - How do we compare with Southern Pines? <br />® A lot of things are compared to Southern Pines. <br />JERRY LAWRENCE - Basically what we're trying to do is give our <br />local citizens a break on fuel, versus a transit person that comes <br />in, stops and buys fuel. We hope to set two different prices, in <br />other words, the user that uses the airport and is a frequent flyer <br />in our territory is getting a price break. We are trying to figure <br />out the best way to approach this. <br />COMMISSIONER DOSSENBACH - The $2,069.92 - that's the income <br />we're getting a month from the hangar rentals? <br />JERRY LAWRENCE - That's correct. <br />COMMISSIONER DOSSENBACH - What percentage is the County getting, <br />if any, as of July 1st? <br />JERRY LAWRENCE - As of July 1 the City and County are getting <br />100% of it, we are collecting it for you. <br />COMMISSIONER DOSSENBACH - Is that paid to use monthly or <br />quarterly? <br />JERRY LAWRENCE - No - that comes into the airport's budget. In <br />other words, we collect the funds, it comes into the budget and we <br />use part of it to operate on. Mr. Reives has submitted a budget of <br />® <br />expenses in income and that was outlined in that particular <br />situation. <br />COMMISSIONER WICKER - It's not doing the County any good it's <br />just improving the airport. <br />JERRY LAWRENCE - It's going back into the airport. We're trying <br />to make the airport a self-sufficient entity, in other words, pay for <br />itself on a day-to-day basis and that's part of whats paying for it. <br />COMMISSIONER DOSSENBACH - I would like to say to you and the <br />Board Members of the Airport Authority that I appreciate you taking <br />your time to come today and I think the main reason this meeting was <br />called was because there wasn't a lot of PR between the Authority and <br />this Board. I hope that in the future, when we have questions, that <br />you feel we have the right to receive answers, and I feel that we <br />are, because we are putting money into the airport. If we could <br />somehow get these answers on a timely basis rather than the request <br />being tossed aside, it would really help a whole lot. I know you <br />have stated you are willing to come before this Board once a quarter <br />and fill us in and I think that is a very good start and I appreciate <br />your willingness to do that. If the Chairperson or Vice chairman <br />could do that each quarter then I think we would at least be <br />up-to-date on what's happening. As I see it, and what has most <br />• <br />006 <br />6 <br />
