          Ron Singer’s ultralight is in disrepair.  Lisenby and commissioners concerned he will want to fly it out during the ultralight ban.  Lisenby told Singer it will have to be flown out during the mid-week only when it is quiet.  It will also have to be pre-approved by both Lisenby and the commissioners and cannot be flown off the property otherwise.  Singer is also to understand that this is a one time only fly out and no further use of the airport will be allowed by ultralights during the ban.
