Dixie Jet Services, the company that runs the Covington Municipal Airport, contends the city owes it more than the $367,389 under the early termination clause in the two parties’ contract. In lieu of filing a lawsuit, Dixie Jet asked the city to agree to mediation, and at Monday’s meeting, the city council unanimously agreed to, with the caveat that the full council must vote to approve any agreement before it is binding. City Attorney Ed Crudup said Tuesday that mediation is set for 1:30 p.m., Monday at city hall.
