CITY COMMISSION, SANFORD, FLORIDA, May 25 at 7 :30 P M 1936
may be cancelled for non- performance.
Also that operator be commissioned a police officer empowered to make arrests for
violations of ordinances governing the airport.
In making contract with an operator a clause should be inserted giving the City the
right to contract with any firm or corporation or the United States Government for air
mail or scheduled passenger service.
It is not believed by this committee that an operator can be found to carry out this
plan without some financial assistance from the city, for this reason it is suggested
that the operator be paid a salary of $25.00 per month if such sum is available from
Airport maintenance fund.
