WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MAYOR IS CONTRADICTING HIMSELF. ON THE ONE HAND, HE SAYS THE FAA DID GIVE T THUMBS UP AND THEN LATER THE THUMBS DOWN FOR THE CONTCT BETWEEN THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY AND THE RICHARDS DISPOSAL, DAN THEN HE SAID THE FAA HAS NO SAY SO OVER THAT LEASE AGREEMENT. THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TOLD THE JACKSON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY THREE WEEKS AGO, RICHARDS DISPOSAL HAS TO MOVE ITS GARBAGE TRUCKS FROM HAWKINS FIELD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, ALL BECAUSE OF CONCERNS ABOUT A COLLISION BETWEEN AIRCRAFT AND WILDLIFE. MAYOR CHOKWE ANTAR LUMUMBA SAYS NOT SO FAST. I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THERE’S ACLYAL CONTRARY CORRESPONDENCE. ACCORDING TO THE MAYOR, ETH FAA INITIALLY GAVE PROVISIONAL APPROVAL FOR THE GARBAGE TRUCKS TO BE LOCATED THERE, BUT LATER REVERSED THAT DECISION. WHAT THAT SUGGESTS TO ME, SCOTT WRIGHT, IS THAT THERE’S SOMETHING THERE’S SOMETHING A LILE SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T SMELL RIGHT. AND WE AIN’T TALKING ABOUT THE GARBAGE TRUCKS. ALL RIGHT. DAYS BEFORE S EMERGENCY CONTRACT TOOK EFFECT, RICHARDS DISPOSAL SIGNED A MONTH TO MONTH LEASE WITH THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY FOR MORE THAN 65,000 SQUARE FEET SOUTH OF HAWKINSIE FLD FOR TRUCKS AND EQUIPMENT. THE FAA SAYS THE TRUCKS NEED TO BE MOVED AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE. THE REASON THEY COULD ATTRACT WILIFELD BECAUSE OF GARBAGE RESIDUE AND ODOR, AND THAT MAKES ITN A INCOMPATIBLE LAND USE. THE FAA DOES NOT ACTUALLY HAVE ETH AUTHORITY TO STOP A LEASE. RIGHT. THE FAA WILL NOT STEP IN BASED ON THE CONTRACT AND THE UPGRADES AND THE EXPENSES THAT THIS COMPANY HAS PAID. COUNCILMAN VERNON HARLEY IS, WHO IS AOR FMER MEMBER OF THE AIRPORT AIRPTOR AUTHORITY BOARD, SAYS THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY COULD FACE FINES IF THEY DON'’ COMPLY WITH THE FAA DEMANDS. NOW, WE DID REACH OUT TO THE AIRPORT AHOUTRITY FOR COMMENT TO WHAT TO RESPOND TO WHAT THE MAYOR HAD TO SAY. WE HAVEN’T HEARD BACK. A SPOKESMAN FOR THE FAA REFERRED US BACK TO THAT LETTER LIVE AT HAWKINS FIELD.
