June 21, 1989
The Meeting was called to order at 5:05 pm by Commissioner E.
Foley Vaughan. In attendance were Commissioners Alexander Craig,
Ronald Russell. Also in attendance were Manager Jo-ann Norris,
Airfield Supervisor Bill Welch and Secretary David Sylvia.
At 5:08 pm Chairman Charles Mayhew arrived and the chair was
~urned over to him.
The Minutes of Hay 17 and June 7, 1989 Meetings were approved
pending changes in the June 7th Meeting of the 5th paragraph
changing the word "reaching" to "exceeding"; also in the same
paragraph the sentence "The FAA 7460 Form must be approved and on
file in the Airport Office." was added.
A Bid Opening on a Van was the first item on the Agenda. The
first bid was from Chevrolet of Falmouth, for a used 1987 C-31,
1- ton van for $9,500. The second van, belonging to Bill
McGrath, is a 12 passenger Chevrolet for $12,900. Commissioner
Vaughan moved to have Chairman Mayhew and Manager Norris decide
which van to choose, all were in favor.
Edith Ray, Jay Fox, and Meagan Elsworth, representing the Park's
and Recreation Department requested to relocate the Siasconset
Softball Field on the Delta property. The Commission feels that
this may pose a serious problem with the field lights and the ILS
approach systeD to Runway 24. It was duly noted that
Commissioners Craig and Russell were opposed to the relocation of
the field to the Delta property. The Commission recommended they
look for a less prime location, which would suit the needs for
the field, but would not interfere with aircraft operations.
Richard D. Kimball Company, Inc., proposed to design a
temporary heating system for the Main Terminal building. The
cost would be $2,450, plus traveling expenses.

MEETING JUNE 21, 1987 continued
The Commission would like the Comeau Engineering to also make a
proposal for the heating system. A motion was made to leave
Hanager Norris to decide on the better of ~he two proposals.
Budget Rent-A-Car, represented by Albert Perry, would like to
sub-lease the old real estate office to Aunt Leah's Fudge. The
Airport will receive the $1,200 business fee and the rent will
stay the same as the set rental rate. It was unannimously voted
for by the Commission.
The non-union pay raises were presented to the Commission. A
motion was M/S/P to accept Manager Norris' recommendations, w{th
Commissioner Russell opposed. The increase represents some step
increases as well as yearly increases. The Commission requested
Manager Norris submit written evaluations, three months prior to
the suggested salary increases, for her non-union personnel. The
Commission then agreed that they will, in turn, evaluate Nanager
Norris's perforn~ance. The motion was M/S/P. Job descriptions
for non-union personnel will be reviewed by the Commission
6-months prior to July 1 of each year.
Nantucket Surveyors, representing TOSCANA, were present. At this
time, Commissioner Vaughan excused himself for conflict of
interest reasons. It was brought to the Commission's attention
that the road that runs parallel to 15-33 does not go through
Ted Strojny's property. The brush cutting that was approved
has been 90% cut and the roadway has been cut to the half-mile
marker. Tower Chief Robert Mc Grady noted his displeasure of the
roadway being cut by stating that it may be a problem with
vehicles gaining access to the runways and that it is a major
safety issue. The Commission agreed to await approval from FAA
and ,MAC on the design of the TOSCANA proposal prior to
proceeding.
In correspondence a letter was read by the Aircraft Owners Group
who would like to purchase the Mike Lamb hangar and to work cut a
land lease on the property with the Commission. The Commission
felt that this building should remain under the Commission's
control and to have Manager Norris reply to the letter stating
such.
In operations news, the State House Bill H4752 to compensate
victims of aircraft accidents, a motion was made and unanimously
approved to have a letter in response noting the disapproval of
such a bill.
The Tower Rehabilitation contractor's invoice will not be paid
until interpretation is corrected at the Special Town Meeting
next week.
