Airport authority approves lease amendment recommendation, routine business; several motions pass by voice vote
Summary
At a regular meeting of the Municipal Airport Authority, members approved routine items including the agenda, minutes and manager's reports and voted to recommend a lease amendment for Middle Tennessee State University to counsel pending state approval. The board also agreed to move the March meeting date.
The Municipal Airport Authority approved routine business, including the agenda, minutes of the Nov. 18 meeting and the manager's reports, and voted to recommend a lease amendment for Middle Tennessee State University to counsel contingent on state approvals.
The actions came during a regular meeting called to order at noon by the chair. After a roll call and a brief public-comment period with no speakers, the board approved the meeting agenda and the Nov. 18 minutes by voice vote. The authority then accepted the airport manager's written reports and related financial materials by voice vote.
Jeff Ferrer (identified by name; role not specified in the record) described the lease amendment language and said he was "waiting to hear back from the attorney general's office" after getting informal sign-off from the State Building Commission counsel. The authority then voted to recommend counsel approve the MTSU lease amendment, contingent on required state approvals. A board member moved the recommendation and another board member seconded; the chair noted the motion passed.
The board also voted to move its March meeting one week earlier to March 20 to avoid conflicts with the Tennessee Airports Conference; that motion passed by voice vote.
