He will replace Dr. Paul Grossnickle as board member, who announced his retirement in February after more than 20 years of service.
In other business, the BOAC discussed the status of an open account with Warsaw Flying Club, headed by President and Chief Flight Instructor Jon Fussle. According to Airport Manager Nick King, the club reached more than $9,000 in fuel debt to the airport some time between 2011 and 2012. Fussle said that debt accrued after a third-party client refused to pay the club for fuel the club had purchased for the client’s aircraft from the airport.
King said the account was delinquent for nearly a year before the airport and the Flying Club reached an agreement in August to have the club pay $500 per month. In February, the airport had still not received the agreed-upon monthly payment 11 days after it was due.
The board moved to draft a promissory note under which the club will be legally responsible for paying approximately $488 per month for a total of 17 months until the account is brought current. Fussle has until the end of the month to review and sign the document. If the terms of the note are not met, the club’s land lease with the airport can be terminated.
Fussle stated the club plans to have the debt repaid in approximately six months.
The next BOAC meeting is scheduled for April 8 at 4 p.m.[[In-content Ad]]
