Foley Vaughan. Also in attendance were Manager Jo-ann M. Norris, Airfield Supervisor Bill Welch, and Secretary Myrtle Eldridge. The Minutes of the January 4, 1989 meeting were presented and approved as written. A motion to approve the Warrant was M/S/P with the exception of two bills: 1. DEUTSCH, WILLIAMS, et al - Commissioner Vaughan requested verification of "affidavit of fees" charge, and, 2. APCOA - Commissioner Vaughan requested payment be withheld until the Airport receives a "wrap up" on monies due from the parking fees not collected prior to the Airport assuming collection of the parking fees. A motion from Commissioner Craig to renew the NANTUCKET BANK'S lease for their ATM was M/S/P with the understanding that the Bank is aware of a possible temporary relocation /interruption during the rehab procedure. (See Minutes of Meeting February 15, 1989.) Manager Norris read a request from Stephen Muse to operate a fruit/flower concession in the former Annie & the T's area. Commissioner Russell questioned the usage of the area for a non- aeronautically related business. Mrs. Norris indicated a shortage of ramp space and suggested that a retail business would be a more stable lessee than a small airline that may only operate one season. Manager Norris was requested to inquire of all other airlines for any interest in leasing this area; and as page 1 of 4 MEETING FEBRUARY 1, 1989, continued the current electrical demand is at it maximum capacity, the Commission requested Mr. Muse research his electrical needs and both parties will report their findings at the next meeting. Mr. Peter Boynton presented his plans for an amusement center on the Brock property, which abuts Airport property. In making the Commission aware of his plans, he requested that should a need for additional property arise in the future, would the Commission keep him apprised of any development plans for this Airport property. The consensus of the full Commission is to cooperate with Mr. Boynton and will notify him of any development. It is duly recorded that Commissioner Vaughan abstained from the following discussion. A request from TOSCANA CORPORATION to lease land in the Bunker Road area was ready by Manager Norris. Mr. Carl Jelleme then voiced his proposal to pave the road from the Siasconset Road, including the loop. Monies paid for the improvements would be credited against the rent due on a 20-year lease of 8 acres of land. Commissioner Craig made the motion to allow Mr. Jelleme (for TOSCANA CORPORATION) to appear before the Planning Board as an agent for the Airport. The motion was seconded and passed by the Commission. Commissioner Santos requested an Executive Session be scheduled for the next meeting to discuss lease strategy and be able to present Mr. Jelleme with a proposed cost per square foot. David Worth, representing the WANNACOMET WATER COMPANY, presented his request to drive 2-test wells on the north side of the Siasconset Road. If the test wells proved fruitful, there would be the possibility of a "deep" well. The motion was l1/S/P to allow the test wells, at least 400 feet from the Siasconset Road. Should a deep well be considered in the future, clearance from the former owners of the property must be obtained. The Commission was informed that BUSINESS EXPRESS will have security screening for their passengers, effective March 2, 1989. The Commission stated that fee increases on oil products can be made by Airport Manager Norris. NYNEX has indicated an interest to relocate on Airport property, particularly the Jones' Hangar, and has requested the consensus of the Commission. Commissioner Vaughan questioned if NYNEX would consider moving the hangar to another location. l1anager Norris will inquire if NYNEX would consider this matter and if they can present plans for the Jones Hangar renovation. page 2 of 4 MEETING FEBRUARY 1. 1989, continued Dennis Egan of SUN ISLAND TRANSPORTATION requested an extension of their existing road to the Airport property line. Commissioner Craig made a motion to agree in principle to allow this road extension, providing that SUN ISLAND TRANSPORTATION pay for any expenses incurred in drawing up the article and transferring the land. Commissioner Vaughan opposed the extension of this road as it would open the area to development. Commissioner Mayhew abstained but the motion was seconded and passed by the remaining Commissioners. Mr. Chuck Harris (NANTUCKET AIRLINES), has indicated his space requirement is sufficient for the coming year but could use additional storage space, if available. Ramp space is barely sufficient at this time. The motion was M/S/P to renew NANTUCKET AIRLINES' lease for the same space presently occupied. The following items were discussed: 1. Planning board hearing, February 27, 1989, for the NANTUCKET ELECTRIC COMPANY, will be attended by Commissioner Santos. It is recommended that the Electric Company should contribute toward paving the Bunker Road. 2. MARSH MASONRY requested space to store supplies. Manager Norris will notify them their request will be on file should a suitable area be located. 3. Eric Turkington will be on-island February 3 to view the rehab area to gather input to uphold his proposed legislative bill to free State funds for the rehab. 4. The plaque for OSEOLA (NANTUCKET HISTORICAL TRUST) for their beautification of the parking lot was left to the Manager's discretion. 5. The DBE manual has been approved. 6.

Manager Norris is to invite EXPRESS AIR to the meeting of February 15, 1989, to discuss their continuous bookkeeping problem. A motion to use their security deposit to bring their account current was M/S/P. They will then be asked for another security deposit and a pre-payment of their monthly fees.
