t-'lEETING
August 22, 1989
The Meeting was called to order by Chairman Mayhew at 5:00 pm.
Commissioners in attendance were Alexander Craig and E. Foley
Vaughan. Also in attendance were Manager Jo-ann M. Norris,
Airfield Supervisor Bill Welch and Secretary Myrtle Eldridge.
The Minutes of August 8, i989, and the Warrant were approved as
presented.
Regarding the approval and execution of the deed for the land
swap with NANTUCKET ELECTRIC COMPANY, this item was tabled for a
future meeting.
A motion to accept David Watts' low bid of $15,100 for a
TEMPORARY HEATING SYSTEM for the terminal building was made by
Commissioner Craig and seconded by Commissioner Vaughan. It was
unanimously voted to accept this bid, as the proposal indicates
the heating system/materials would be reusable at the time of the
Terminal Rehabilitation. The system is expected to be in
operation by October 17, 1989.
A recommendation for a month-to-month lease, at the termination
of their present lease, for UNITED PARCEL SERVICE was approved
for a three-month period, at 55 cents psf. Restrictions to be
implemented in the month-to-month lease is that they no longer
use the Holmes Field Gate and taxiways as a means of "short cuts"
for delivery purposes.
Mr. Hal Crampton, Director of Island Operations for COASTAL AIR,
presented a proposal to construct and office/dorm complex in the
frontal area of the former Jones Hangar and to sublet a portion
of the existing hangar to United Parcel Service. COASTAL AIR
also proposes to develop an FBO operation on this leased land,
and, in the future offer emergency maintenance for aircraft.

MEETING AUGUST 22, 1989, continued
Chairman Mayhew stated the FBO criteria had been set and must be
adhered to, as written, unless a revision is made. Until such
time as a revision is made, the current criteria must be followed
in order to enjoy a lesser rental rate psf and to be entitled to
any FBO privileges.
Commissioner Craig indicated he felt the Airport could not
subsidize COASTAL's venture and not receive exactly what the
Airport requires, which is maintenance, under the auspices of an
FBO. COASTAL was given permission to lease the property at the
fair-market value of 55 cents psf and to be able to sublease to
United Parcel Service at a higher rate for the use of COASTAL's
hangar.
Mr. Crampton stated he made his presentation to primarily see if
the Commission would be ,receptive to this proposal. Mr. Crampton
was informed that COASTAL is currently "grandfathered" as a
charter and flight training service in the Main Terminal, and
there may be some unforeseen problem with this status under a new
lease and transferring this operation to their new location.
Manager Norris will see if the Town Report of 1984-1985, granting
an FBO a 30-year lease is applicable for any FBO or is only
applicable for the original applicant.
Mr. Ben McElway of the Conservation Commission, requested use of
the Airport grader and operator to continue the clean-up of
abandoned boats, etc from the area near the temporary fuel
pipeline, down to the creeks. Commissioner Vaughan indicated
this would be an excellent example of inter-departmental
cooperation. permission was granted providing Mr. McElway be
responsible for supervising and coordinating this project.
Manager Norris reported on the lack of response from the last
certified correspondence to lessees in the T-hangars (formerly
Mike Lamb's hangar) and questioned if the Commission wanted her
to proceed with eviction notices. The motion was M/S/P and was
then modified by Commissioner Vaughan, stating a preference to
taking these accounts to Small Claims Court. This modification
was seconded and passed.
A motion was M/S/P to terminate the hangar lease currently held
by AIRLINE REALTY TRUST, effective September 30, 1989, in order
to provide cover for Airport equipment and accommodate a similar
request from the Fire Department. In lieu of payment of a rental
fee, the Fire Department will reciprocate by providing services
which will be better defined at a later date.
The review of the Agreement and Lease for TOSCANA was postponed
pending approval of the FAA and MAC. Manager Norris was
requested to contact Pat Church (Secretary for the County
page 2 of 4
MEETING AUGUST 22, 1989, continued
Commissioners) regarding placement on their agenda to determine
responsibility for the maintenance of the County Road, once
TOSCANA completes the paving project.
It was M/S!P to authorize the Airport Manager to sign the weekly
payroll. A copy of this authorization is included with these
Minutes, as a matter of record.
Commissioner Craig stated a need for the operations crew to be
reminded to dispense the NOISE ABATEMENT literature to the pilots
as they arrive in the Operations Office. pilots are not
receiving this literature and ATIS does not always carry the
message.
The September Meetings are scheduled for the 12th and 26th.
The motion to adjourn this Meeting at 6:35 pm was M/S/P.
Respectfully submitted,

TO: The Board of Selectmen
FROM: The Airport Commission
SUBJECT: Payroll Authorization
DATE: August 22, 1989
It has come to the attention of the Airport
Commission that our payroll authorization routine
is cumbersome and ineffective.
. By our vote at a regular Airport Commission
Meeting held August 22, 1989, we authorize the
Airport Manager to sign the weekly payroll as an
accurate, weekly record of the Airport employees'
hours.
