Researching the past Minutes did not reflect the policy on the
application of the BUSINESS FEE ($1200 Annually) but the intent was
originally for the terminal lessees only. The Commission
unanimously agreed that the annual business fee would apply to the
terminal lessees only.
Commissioner Vaughan questioned a computer repair bill from Roger
Jette and requested Mrs. Norris inquire of a warranty and/or
maintenance contract for the equipment purchased from Mr. Jette.

the party(ies) responsible for these tax payments. Mrs. Norris
will present her findings at the next meeting and the bid
determination will be made at that time.

regularly scheduled Commission Meeting to be held on August 14,
1990. A notice of the Noise Meeting will be placed in the paper.
MOHAWK AIR has made an agreement to have Travel Air perform
MOHAWK'S ground handling. Acting Manager Norris informed the

Mr. Fuselier, of NANTUCKET AVIATION/DOVE AVIATION, expressed his
displeasure of not having been informed of the aviation fuel bid
request. As the bid notice had been advertised in the Boston Globe

that his contact had equal opportunity to submit a bid.
The Inquirer and Mirror reporter, Ann Phaneuf, inquired if the FBO
Meeting and Mr. Fuselier's input this evening indicated the
problems were now resolved. Chairman Santos stated, speaking for
himself only, that the areas discussed are in the process of being
resolved.
John Manita, who has been working on the FAA radar installation,
informed the Commission that r/w 33 is "closed down" for the
installation of conduits. He also estimated that there are three
