Board approves new monthly contract for airport FBO to $3,400 and county to retain call-out fees
Summary
Laurens County approved renegotiating the Sikes Aviation maintenance FBO contract: the monthly payment will increase from $2,400 to $3,400 and the county will retain all call-out fees, following a staff explanation that the operator faced rising insurance costs.
County Administrator Bryan Rogers told the board that Jerry Sikes, the airport’s maintenance FBO, reported large insurance increases and asked to renegotiate his contract at the end of the year. The board approved changing the monthly contract payment from $2,400 to $3,400 and shifting call-out fee retention to the county; Commissioner Gerad Mathis moved to approve and Commissioner Kevin Tanner seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The transcript records the new monthly payment and the call-out fee arrangement but does not provide a full contract text, effective date, or a longer-term cost analysis. The action authorizes staff to implement the contract changes as approved by the board.
