AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING
September 11, 1990
The regular Airport Commission Meeting was called to order at 5:03
pm by Chairman Ronald Santos. Commissioners in attendance were
Joseph McLaughlin, Ronald Russell, Charles Mayhew and E. Foley
Vaughan. Also in attendance were Acting Manager Jo-ann M. Norris,
Director of Operations John McDonald and Commission Secretary
Myrtle Eldridge.
A motion was M/S/P to accept the MINUTES of the Regular Commission
Meeting of August 28, 1990, and the MINUTES of the joint Board of
Selectmen's Meeting of September 5, 1990.
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.
