MEETING
November 28, 1989
The Meeting of November 28, 1989, was called to order by Chairman
Charles Mayhew at 5:03 pm. Commissioners in attendance were
Alexander Craig, Ronald Russell and E. Foley Vaughan.
Commissioner Ronald Santos arrived at 5:10 pm. Also present were
Manager Jo-ann M. Norris and Secretary Myrtle Eldridge.
The RESTAURANT BID Committee reported they were not prepared to
make their recommendation at this time. They requested time to
interview the three (3) highest bidders and would then announce
their decision at the December 12th Meeting. It was determined
that all bidders would be interviewed" with Manager Norris
included in making the final decision.
A letter was read by Manager Norris from John A. Morgan of AERO
MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION. Mr. Morgan's proposal has been reviewed
by Manager Norris. Chairman Mayhew would like to meet with
Commissioner Santos and Manager Norris to review some conflicting
figures. Chairman Mayhew stated the importance of ascertaining
that the current Commission will not be financially strapping
future Commissions by awarding the fuel concession to an FBO.
Discussion ensued regarding the contracting out of services. The
Commission requested Manager Norris check with Barnstable
Municipal Airport regarding the number of personnel and how their
duties are delegated in comparison to our operation.
In a letter, TOSCANA requested the Commission allow them "use" of
an additional three acres adjacent to their current leasehold
until the water supply problem can be resolved. It was suggested
Mr. Jelleme contact Albert Johnson, III or ARC (Augie Ramos)
regarding the possibility of subletting their unused lease area
to cover this inconvenience. Manager Norris offered an alternate
solution to the water supply, for fire coverage, in the Bunker
Area. Donald Holdgate can supply a pump which pumps 480 gpm for
less than $50,000. The Manager will ascertain if this quantity
and pump will be acceptable to the Fire Chief. It was also
suggested the Planning Board be approached regarding bending the I
MCD permit process to assist TOSCANA.

MEETING NOVEMBER 28, 1989, continued
A letter of response to the Conservation Commission's additional
Order of Compliance from Joe Forns (TEMPORARY FUEL PIPELINE
TRANSFER SYSTEM) was read by Manager Norris. A motion was made,
and seconded to accept the original Order of Conditions only.
However, after a lengthy discussion, Commissioner Craig amended
his motion to indicate Chairman Mayhew will contact the ConCom to
discuss each individual change requested and work out a
compromise. The amended motion was voted and passed.
Correspondence from the Board of Selectmen's office was read
concerning a log of the use of Town Counsel and a confirmation of
permission to utilize NANTUCKET RENT ALL services, which cannot
exceed $2,500 per year.
Bond Counsel, PALMER & DODGE, submitted written approval of
Airport ARTICLES 8 and 9 for the Special Town Meeting.
Manager Norris reminded the Commission of the Special Town
Meeting on December 12. The Airport Commission meeting,
scheduled for the same evening, will have to adjourn prior to the
Town Meeting time of 7:30 pm.
Commissioner Craig complemented the Operation Employees, who
worked the Holiday, on the great job done clearing the airfield
of snow and therefore, permitting the Airport to be opened by
2:00 pm. However, concern was indicated regarding the poor
condition of the areas leading to the terminals.
The proposed 1990-91 BUDGET was approved, as amended. It is duly
recorded that Commissioner Vaughan was opposed and Commissioner
Russell abstained from the voting.
Manager Norris reported that insurance certification was still
lacking for Albert Johnson, III and ARC (Augie Ramos). Mr.
Johnson is to be notified of termination of lease and the
Commission requested Manager Norris investigate the law suit
between Ramos/Mooney and verify ARC's lease does not specify use
of leased land for an asphalt plant. At this time, pending the
outcome of Manager Norris' investigation, the ARC lease will be
terminated for lack of insurance certification.
Commissioner Santos requested management reinstitute the
policy/program to identify time utilized on each job, by each
employee, on their time card and to maintain a record total hours
for each classification.

MEETING NOVEMBER 28, 1989, continued
The voucher to pay J.K. SCANLON's Payment No.4, was not signed
as the roof leaks and the Commission feels the Certification by
Engineer Frank Bagge was premature. Manager Norris informed the
Commission that she will investigate this matter and will
resubmit a voucher for payment when the work is completed.
Commissioner Craig proposed that a meeting between the County
Commissioners, George Rezendes, Jack Gardner and Richard Smarg be
arranged to hopefully resolve the NOBADEER BEACH problem.
This Meeting was adjourned at 8:40 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
