The Council met in Special Session at 7:30 P.I,!.
for the purpose of confering with Fr. John Talbqt re-
~arding Airpark, and for any other matters of business
which might need the action of the Council at this time.
All menwers of the Gity Council were present, also the
City Attorney.
.l
Mr. Talbot and his consulting engineer,
Mr. nenry tienion,.Jdiscyssed with the Council the progress
so far made on the proposed Airpark. Mr. Talbot advised,
the County Commissioners had offered to build a temporary
road to the si~e from Barwick Road, but after viewing
the grounds with his engineer, he, ::'1'. Talbot thought
it would be more desirable if the City would build from
Swinton, west on 11th st. to the County Line. :1\11'. Arthur
Sprott who was in the audience entered into the discussim
and inquired whether or not their Airpark could handle
planes large enough to Ship out produce anG flowers.
Mr. Talbot replied the present plans did not provide
for such ships, however, the County had offered to give
them some land just to the north of their site, which
'iJould enable the.m to enlarge their runways to handle
such traffic. Nr. Talbot stated his Dlans should be
completed within thirty days, after which he "iill again
contact the City. He asked for a reassurance from the
city of their cooperation, and also asked that his
Airpark be designated as the "Delray Beach Airpark",
so that so long as this Field supplied the needs of
the community and adjacent property, the City would
lend no assistance to any other group who might wish to
build an Airpark. After a very lengthy discussion,
Mr. ':ihite moved tl:1at, "The proposed project of Airpark
and Personal Aviation.Development Corp., when completed
be known as the Delray Beach Airpark, and tl:1at the City
Council will.not cooperate with or support, anyenter-
prise of a similar nature, unless Airpark & Personal
Aviation Development corp., fails to continue to maintain
an Airpark which fits the requirements of the city and
adjacent territory." lvIr. '.Vaters seconded the motion,
and on roll call the vote was as follows:- Mr. DeNitt
yes, Mr. Jacobs no, Mr. Thayer yes, Mr. Waters yes,
Mr. ';'ihi te yes. Motion carried.
