NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Nantucket Island, Massachusetts 02554
MEETING MARCH 17, 1986
The meeting was opened at 4:18 p.m. by Chairman Robert Allen
with the following Commissioners present: Norman Beach and
Alexander Craig.
On a motion by Commissioner Craig, seconded by Commissioner
Beach, it was unanimously voted to defer the acceptance of the
March 10, 1986 Minutes on the advice of Town Counsel.
Attorney Arthur Reade, representing NANTISCO, attended the
meeting and informed the Commission that he is still working on
the final draft of the lease terms and would have them for the
Commission's review before the week end. Attorney Foley Vaughan
advised the NANTISCO group that they should not expend any
further money on this project until they have a contract in
their hands. The two attorneys will confer on Wednesday.
Chairman Allen explained that this did not imply that this would
stop the project as planned. Since there was not a full
Commission present, it was agreed that no votes on this subject
would be taken. It was also agreed to meet with NANTISCO on
March 31, 1986, when hopefully a full Commission would be present.
Discussion was opened to the public during which several issues
were cleared up and a few good suggestions were made, including
a performance clause in the contract, allowing for a gross
receipts percentage, review of financial records, including a
cancellation clause, all which will be discussed with our Town
Counsel by our liaison Commissioners Craig and Beach and Airport
Manager, Ken Holdgate, as appointed by Chairman Allen. Attorney
Reade reiterated that he hoped that the Commission would be
ready to sign the contract at their March 31 meeting for reasons
of getting the Planning Board changes through in time to expedite
the completion of the parking lot before the busiest part of the
summer season.
with regard to the Board of Selectmen's request to attend their
next meeting to discuss the parking lot project with the public,
the Commission declined, as there was a good turn out of the
public at this meeting; and since two of the Selectmen were
present today, they should be able to handle any further ques-
tions.

MEETING MARCH 17, 1986 continued
On a motion by Commissioner Beach, seconded by Commissioner
Craig, it was unanimously voted to accept the State Grant
Agreement for Project 07 in the amount of $115,500.00
John Manera asked about space available for additional tie
downs and T-hangars. He was informed that the Manager was
making more tie downs available as soon as the weather breaks
and that T-hangar space would be available to lease to persons
wishing to erect their own T-hangars.
The Manager informed the Commission that the Electric Company
was acquiring two portable electric generators to be used for
emergency purposes during brown outs and requested permission
to place them on the property included in our land swap. On
a motion by Commissioner Craig, seconded by Commissioner Beach,
it was unanimously voted to give the Electric Company this
permission.
In discussing the Town handling our insurance policies, the
Manager was instructed to write the Board of Selectmen to
advise the Airport of our present coverage and apprise us of
any future changes to these policies.
The meeting adjourned at 5:54 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
