PROGRESS BEING MADE?
Settlement negotiations are underway in a lawsuit filed last year by the city's Airport Authority against its "fixed-base operator"(FBO), Continental Motors, Inc.
The December 2021 suit essentially alleges that the company was not fulfilling terms of its long-term lease with the Authority to operate the airport.
A special meeting of the Authority titled "renegotiate lease" was held on September 28th where possible new terms were discussed.
While the meeting itself was a private executive session, member Jack Burrell said publicly afterward that proposed terms being offered by the company seemed reasonable.
Burrell: "Negotiations continuing ... fair terms being discussed."
Civil lawsuit case 901385.00 is currently scheduled to be heard January 23, 2023 in Judge Scot Taylor's courtroom in Bay Minette, if a settlement is not reached before that (jury trial).
