Foley Vaughan. Also in attendance were Airport Manger Jo-ann Norris and Airfield Supervisor William Welch. The Minutes of the March 15 and March 22, 1989 were unanimously approved as written. The Minutes of the March 27 meeting were unanimously approved with the following changes: On page 1, the paragraph pertaining to the discussion with Toscana, add that the excess material from the excavation must be used on the development of the interior roadways only. On page 2, the price for loam is per square yard. The Manager explained to the Commission that until she receives definite word from Holiday Air, it is uncertain as to whether or not they have changed principals and assigned the lease to Clinton Industries, Inc. As Tri Air, Inc. was unable to send a representative to the meeting, it was agreed that the Commission would not entertain any further requests for counter space from that airline until the next meeting and after Tri Air is actually honoring its certificate requirements. A letter was read from Continental Express regarding the rewriting of terms for a lease. It was agreed to have them attend the next meeting with their proposal. The next regularly scheduled meeting, now set for April 18, will be postponed until the next regularly scheduled meeting May 2, 1989, at 5 p.m. The Commission has agreed to meeting on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. A letter was read from Nynex regarding the assignment of the Jones' hangar lease. The Airport Manager will request Nynex to attend the next meeting and make a proposal and presentation to the Commission of how the building will be shrubbed and their use and layout of the premises. Page 1 of 4 MEETING APRIL 3, 1989 continued A letter from Hyannis Air Service informed the Commission that Dan Wolf would be interested in some or all of the FBO services available at our Airport. It was suggested that a meeting be set up between Mr. Wolf and the subcommittee. As Commissioner Craig left word that he would be unable to attend Town Meeting on April 28, Chairman Mayhew stated he would be responsible for covering that meeting. Attorney Gary Nickerson and Peter Hull of Nantucket Aviation attended the meeting to discuss the termination of their 20 year T-hangar lease. Manager Norris was requested to research the l1inutes of 1969 and 1972 regarding the Lamb hangar in order to determine the intention of the Commissions at that time, since there are two leases, both of which are improperly executed. Mr. Nickerson requested, on behalf of his client, to have the right to run the hangars as a concession in the future. Chairman Mayhew asked him to make a proposal for this at the next meeting. Manager Norris informed the Commission that Gretchen Lindley will not be leasing the space formerly occupied by Annie and the Tees. In discussing setting a monthly tiedown rate, it was agreed by the Commission to continue with the annual rate only. Regarding the Gull Air Chapter 11 of 1987, the Airport has been notified that the $20,000 that was received on the Gull account, just prior to their filing bankruptcy, will have to be returned. The Manager has forwarded all information to Town Counsel for his review. Manager Norris informed the Commission that the terminal heating system is now completely shut down. As the weather for the next couple of weeks will be mild, she felt that using the electrical heating systems in the Annie and the Tee's area and from Busex's lobby would suffice. An alternate, temporary heating system for the fall is still being researched. Regarding the sales of loam, it was confirmed that the issue has been tabled. At this point Commissioner Santos brought up the fact that our new loader and grader are being used excessively and wanted an accounting of the time that it is in use. The Manager explained that we recently graded the access road on Airport property to the Weweeder Avenue subdivision. The Bunker Road, which has in the past been graded by the lessees, was recently graded as a public relations gesture, knowing that shortly the roadway would be stabilized by Toscana. The Commission, after lengthy discussion requested a noontime meeting at the end of April to Page 2 of 4 MEETING APRIL 3, 1989 continued review the Airport property and future projects in order to set up a schedule of projects that need the heavy equipment. The Manager informed the Commission that this was a management decision and should be left up to her.
