NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Nantucket Island, Massachusetts 02554
MEETING FEBRUARY 3, 1986
Phone (617) 228-1255
The meeting was opened at 4 p.m. by Acting Chairman Norman
Beach with the following Commissioners present: Alexander
Craig and Robert Epple. *Commissioners Allen and Giffin
arrived shortly thereafter.
The Minutes of the January 17, 1986 meeting were unanimously
approved as written.
On a motion by Commissioner Epple, seconded by Commissioner
Craig, it was unanimously voted to place the parking lot
proposal ad in this week's Inquirer and Mirror.
*At this point, Chairman Robert Allen entered the meeting.
Mr. Holdgate informed the Board on the most recent developments
in our ground water protection plan and the fact that it would
be included as part of our Master Plan project.
Regarding Mr. Bruce Poor's claim to a piece of Airport land
off of Runway 6, which he states has been improperly taken, on
a motion by Commissioner Beach, seconded by Commissioner Craig,
it was unanimously voted to await a response from Town Counsel
before replying to Mr. Poor.
*At this point, Commissioner Giffin entered the meeting.
Regarding several questions from Bob walsh on his leasing the
old lineshack, the Commission unanimously agreed that he would
be only renting the building, not the slab it sits on. Chuck
Harris's aircraft would not be moved, and the rent would
remain the same, as it is not an aeronautically related
business.
The Commission discussed placing an ad in several house organs
for a Manager to replace Mr. Holdgate when he retires this
summer. Commissioner Craig submitted a list of guidelines for
qualifications, which was unanimously approved. It was agreed
to have Mr. Holdgate take his month's vacation in July,
retiring August 1, 1986.
The Manager informed the Commission that Mr. Nelson Lee has
contacted him regarding setting up an airline. At the present
time, we have no counter space available.

MEETING FEBRUARY 3, 1986 continued
Commissioner Craig inquired as to major renovations in the
terminal building. Mr. Holdgate explained that until the
State contributory funding becomes available, we do not have
any plans to continue with connecting the Tower and Terminal
Buildings. Mr. Holdgate was requested to obtain pricing, by
the next meeting, on wall-to-wall carpeting for the main
terminal to spruce it up in the meantime.
Mr. McGrath attended the meeting and informed the Commission
that the Will's Air take over went very smoothly last week end.
He was optimistic about Gull Air's capability to'accommodate
all of the air traffic and will be speaking to Mr. Holdgate
about counter renovations.
Mr. McGrath also expressed an idea to expand his present FBO
business. He will have two trained mechanics next week and is
looking into setting up a new maintenance hangar, one that will
accommodate increased corporate aircraft, which will be
attracted by the new motel going up across the street. He also
requested guidelines be set up on conducting flight schools,
which the Commission agreed upon. Mr. McGrath will be getting
together with the Manager to discuss each of these subjects
before the next Commission meeting.
Regarding the growing, outstanding balance on the Josefek
account, the Commission requested a certified, return receipt,
letter be sent Mr. Josefek stating that he has five days to
bring his account current, otherwise, the Commission will take
legal steps to collect the monies due.
Mr. Holdgate updated the Commission on the latest developments
on the Shipyard property. According to Attorney Reade, we
should record the original taking in the Land Court.
It was also agreed to have Mr. Holdgate contact Mrs. Florence
Clifford to see if we can get her permission to put in a
pipeline along the Shipyard's bulkhead for this summer's fuel.
On a motion by Commissioner Beach, seconded by Commissioner
Craig, it was unanimously voted to write Town Counsel and give
him two weeks to answer us on the subject of Airport interest.
The meeting adjourned at 5:38 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
