Points made were: · Airport Manager Cronkhite stated the current airport security company has done a very good job. The break-ins seem to occur during a period of time when the last ERA personnel are in the building and when the airport security is on duty. · The Commission suggested the rental agencies meet together to discuss security needs and to get an estimate from a security company. · Commissioner Haralson spoke briefly regarding responsibilities in providing security.
