The WARRANT was approved and executed for payment. Chairman Santos requested a vote to select an AIRPORT MANAGER from the two applicants interviewed at a Public Meeting held September 10, 1990. A poll of the Commission resulted in a unanimous vote for Fred H. Jaeger, of Greeley, Colorado. Chairman Santos will notify the candidates of the Commission's selection, expressing to the other candidate (Daniel T. Weber, of Springfield, Missouri), the Commission's desire to continue negotiations with him, as an alternate, should Mr. Jaeger decide that he is no longer interested in this position. ISLAND AVIATION and EDGARTOWN AIR's request for counter space in the North Terminal was approved. ISLAND AVIATION will provide charter/freight service and EDGARTOWN AIR will provide scheduled services to the Vineyard and New Bedford. A discussion of the proposed ARTICLE for a temporary easement of the temporary fuel pipeline, for nine (9) years, followed. Chairman Santos indicated this extension would put the pipeline in the same time frame as the other Island fuel/petroleum product storage problems. The language in this proposal will be "fine tuned" by Administrative Secretary of the Board of Selectmen, but will still reflect our request for an extension of nine (9) years. 1 of 4 AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING, 9/11/90, continued The Selectmen's Administrative Secretary informed the Commission that the fuel/petroleum product storage site problem had been referred to the Planning Commission, for their immediate attention.
