IV. REPORTS:
Airport Manager
Mr. Savage briefed the Authority on the following issues:
1. During the last few weeks, Authority Maintenance
Technician Bob Gray has installed warning signs and a
rope barricade near the FBO entrance to the ramp to
discourage unauthorized vehicular traffic. He is also
building the first of several picnic tables to go in
the park area opposite to the FBO. Additional tables
will be built as funds permit.

2.
Mr. Savage reviewed a letter from the FAA addressed to
U.S. Rep. Mac Collins, in response to the Congressman's
inquiry about the Airport Surface Observing System
(ASOS). This system was installed at Peachtree City
Falcon Field Airport last spring. The FAA has taken a
somewhat indifferent approach to the questions raised
by the Congressman. Mr. Savage will ask the
Congressman's office to aid the Authority in getting a
more definitive response.
3.
Mr. Savage met on separate occasions with County
Commissioner Herb Frady and County Administrator Bill
Beckett to discuss the construction of the Fayette
County Water System's raw water line which crosses the
Authority's driveway along Dividend Drive. An
encroachment permit has been prepared for the County by
Attorney Doug Warner and awaits the county's signature.
Discussions were also held concerning the future
development of additional fire hydrant lines into the
T-Hangar area, and the desire of the Authority to have
the County Water System maintain these lines. Mr.
Beckett indicated that he believes this is possible and
that he hoped that the two organizations could continue
their mutual cooperation to resolve outstanding issues.
4.
Mr. Savage reported that he continues to receive
inquiries and interest from those who want to build
both T-hangars and/or executive hangars. He has one
proposal in hand and expects at least two more. When
he and Mr. Good have had an opportunity to review them
and develop an opinion, he will make a recommendation
to the Authority.
5.
The last section of taxiway lights that were to be
installed as part of the Airport Improvement Project
AIP 05/08 were turned on Jan 4. The new system was
tested by Wilbur Smith and Associates engineer Ron
Sheppard, but did not pass. Apparently there is a bad
wiring splice that is permitting a small current leak
to ground. The lights work however, and will continue
to be used until repairs can be made. Electricians were
working on the system earlier this evening to correct
the problem.
