Mr. Hill recently passed away and we , are in discussion with one of his sons at this time . , Commission Minutes ,Lincoln Property: 1 Mr. Taylor told the commission that he and Mr. Verslues had gone , , ,to Lincoln University and discussed Navigation Easements with them ' 'once and that they were going to return within the next month to ' have further discussions with Lincoln on the easement . Mr. Ferguson, asked if this was strictly air rights and was told yes. Mr. Taylor , ) , explained the height restrictions for air easements stating we must , - ,c)btain the easements. He said this assures planes of a clear land- : 2 ing space and when the ILS system is completed we will have light ,_,, • 'bars as part of the glide slope. We have one T-Hangar on the airport by the National Guard Hangar., i,„, We are now in discussion with Mr. Bill Heckerman who would like to , . ' 'build a T-Hangar. We haven ' t discussed plans for the type of build-' ': .ing permit from the city. Travel Authorization : , Mr. Randolph asked the commission for travel authorization for he and Mr. Taylor to attend the AAAE (American Association of Airport 'Executives) Annual Conference in Dallas, Texas on June 4-7, 1980. , Mr. Randolph is a speaker on June 4 at the Airport Board and , Commissioners Meeting. Mr. Randolph has been a member since 1953, - served as President in 1974 and is an ex-officio member of the , Board of Directors. Mr. Randolph read an excerpt from the Airport , Report published by AAAE an follows : "On the more serious side, we mention that the regional directors from each of the CAB (Civil Aeronautics Board) nix regional Consent offices, with the CAB Director of Community and Congressional Agenda Relations , Jim bightmey, will be meeting in Dallas at the HUM time as AAAE , Lightsey will be a speaker on the AAAE program; the regional directors will be available at least a portion of ' the conference for informal talks on essential air trannporta- . tion , selection of eubsidized commuters, and other topics of , interest particularly to managers of the smaller air carrier , and commuter airports. " So you can see that it IN very important that we are there, said , Mr. Randolph. Dr. Miller made the motion to approve the Travel Airport ' Co mm ission Authorization forMr. Randolph and Mr. Taylor to attend the AAAE , 'Conference in Dallas on June 4-7, 1980. The motion was seconded by i Minutes ,Mr. Ferguson and carried unanimously. , 'Trailways Bus Line, Inc. Request to Use Terminal : , Mr. Taylor told the commission that three weeks ago we received caur first phone call from Trailways representatives saying they l'needed a new space for their busses to operate. We didn' t know what; they specifically wanted so we invited them down and they looked d ?over the Terminal interior, exterior and parking lot . They told us they need a place by the first of June and asked if we could give 'them a temporary place to operate. We told themit might be possiblq 'to help them out temporarily. A discussion took place at that time ion the possibility of building a public transportation center on .' rthis side of the river. We discussed space and rental fees with Consent 'O.Trailways and they said they would have no problem with the $6. 00 , Agendaper sq. ft . per year for the floor space in addition to counter 'rental and 10% of all gross receipts for passenger fares and cargo and express originating at Jefferson City Memorial Airport . j At a meeting of the Executive Committee on May 14 , it was 1, rauggested by Mr. Burruss that we write the contract on a month to !month basis instead of for a year as suggested by Trailways. The 1 committee also felt it best for Trailways to purchase their own ' III 1{auilding to be locked up for baggage and express whibhwas accessablei{ Uto them and their agent. This would be to enable to allow their odriver of the 3 a.m. bus which carries express to get in and out i Oof the building. They requested building space of approximately {{ 9 x 12 feet for this purpose. After further discussion the Execu- 1 tive Committee approved drawing up a contract to be presented -to thel! 'commission for their consideration. ,i , Regular Council Meeting, June 2, 1980. ,.:, Dr. Pope said in the minutes of the executive committee meeting it f .k states the committee had mixed emotions about the proposal of allow •1,, ',:,5 ing a bus transportation system to operate at the airport ; are we Consent z,,,ti: zL. '''!).' Ito believe that if we do not do this that we would lose Trailways , Agenda t''.3= --.' 'Bus service in Jefferson City? Is this to be on our shoulders? -.3,: ''!' Mr. Randolph answered Dr. Pope saying not at all . -.- ' Mr. Norris Flowers was introduced to the Commission. Mr. L; Flowers said theonly reason he chose to attend the meeting was to Airport ) clarify any questions we may have as to the building presently Commission occupied by Trailways and Missouri Transit. Mr. Flowers said he ;, Minutes , had understood that it was being told he had kicked them out of the - , building and this was not the case. Mr. Flowers was questioned . further by commission members as to the type of tenants the bus lines had been , the type of problems which they may have had in the Ipast and the general clientel using the bus lines. After further " , , 4iscussion Dr. Miller stated that he had mixed emotions on this. ' I do think it would be a good idea to work toward establishing the , airport as a transportation center. • At this time the Chairman asked that Mr. Sweeney, District Man- ' . ,• pager for Trailways and Mr. Williams, District Sales Supervisor join = : 9the meeting. Mr. Sweeney was asked if he had anything he would like , to tell the commission. Mr. Sweeney said we looked at the contract ', and on page six, Article IX of the contract in reference to 10% of all gross receipts, we can' t afford that, it would prohibitive, we don' t have enough income. We have the expense of the agents (we pay them a commission) and this would be more than we could agree , ' to. Mr. Randolph said at our last meeting it was under discussion Consent :' for sometime and you said it was agreeable. Mr. Sweeney said the Agenda total income for both carriers is about $53,000 and approximately , ,, , $30,000 of that by Trailways--the gross would be about $1500 a , month rent . Mr. Randolph said when we met we were under the , impression that 10% of allfares mid freight originating here was agreeable with you. Mr. Sweeney said there was some misunderstand- : - ing on my part. After meeting we took a look at our figures. If , an agent was included yes , but we must pay an agent. , Pr. Pope said, before we got into a real detailed discussion • ,about a lease the commission needs general information. Why are 6ou moving? Why your not trying to remain In the location with _ • pdissouri Traneit , etc? Further discussion ensued with questions land answers. During the discussion Mr. Sweeney told the cthmnission : . that he hoped to keep the rent to $500. 00 a month. Dr. Pope said - i that the rent Mr. Flowers was asking for his property WaN 9% of the bus lines annual gross and what they were asking us is about 3%. ' ! Stating any figure you have to pay for rent is going to increase 1 4our cost of operation as you have not paid rent for fifteen years. 4fr. Sweeney said it is seldom that we get into this, but based on Airport what we do in details we have to be guided by what we can afford to , Commission Ipay above the agents commission . Minutes Mr. Randolph asked Messrs. Sweeney, Williams and Flowers to step , lout of the room to give the commission time to discuss the matter Ifurther. Mr. Randolph told the commission members that the story 1 at our meeting the other day was told entirely different. They il ;agreed to the figure of 10%. All Trailways was carrying at the old !property Was the ticket agent. It looks to me like two private ' business entities have gotten to cross purposes and we shouldn' t )1'I be involved. !I ' Dr. Pope stated he felt like they are wanting us to bail them i out. Mr. Taylor stated that they told us 10% was agreeable and Mr. Sweeney talked to Mrs. Little after the Executive Committee Meeting and said the 10% was agreeable, they agreed to supply the storage j building and at the same time they gave her the on and off passenger II count. Mrs. Garner said the airport is our business and we are going to get into a lot of problems and we will be paying for our own I; headaches; security, maintenance, and parking problems. The other day we were basically concerned about the type of clientel and ;, parking but now it is a different story. We are in favor of supplyi Consent ing a service and doing it property for the people we serve. Dr. 4 Agenda Pope said he felt it would be a bad precedent for a group like oursL to get involved in a couple of businessmens disagreements, Mr. ' Taylor told the commission that we had been unable to discuss the 111 situation with Mrs. Cook, President and owner of Missouri Transit 11 as she is in Iowa. Mr. Brose said the whole concept for a trans- i , portation center is a good idea. The thing that bothers me is a I parking problem. i | (P'' Regular Council Meeting, June-2, 1980._µg_ After further discussion Mrs. Garner made the motion that the , Consent Airport Commission not go any further with the proposal , that we ,, Agenda jend consideration of a bus terminal here at this time. The motion was seconded by Dr. Pope. The count was unanimous to approve the ;)notion with the record showing the Councilman Gordon abstained. ;: y !Commission Meeting Time: .. i( After discussion it was decided to continue with the Commission; meetings on the third Tuesday of the month at 12: 30 p.m. Airport being no further business Mr. Munzell made the motion to Commission ;adjourn, seconded by Dr. Miller and carried.
