Office of Airport Manager

Town of Nantucket
NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Nantucket Island, Massachusetts 02554
MEETING MARCH 31, 1986
The meeting was opened at 3:55 p.m. by Chairman Robert Allen with
the following Commissioners present: Norman Beach, Alexander
Craig and Thomas Giffin.
On a motion by Commissioner Craig, seconded by Commissioner
Giffin, it was unanimously voted to enter into Executive
Session.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Attorney E. Foley Vaughan attended the meeting to review several
points in the proposed parking lot contract which needed clari-
fication. There was no provision for the parking needs of the
terminal building employees or Compass Rose patrons; Counsel
Vaughan requested a detailed map be provided depicting the
exact area to be leased in color; the Lessee's building should
be contained within their leased area and defined on the map;
Vaughan also suggested that the rental terms should be changed
to a 50/50 split on gross revenues, after the Lessee's initial
investment for construction is paid back. These figures should
be based on an independent accountant's review of NANTISCO's
books. The definition of "public interest" should be expanded;
the rental car parking rates should be subject to Lessor's
approval; the secondary lot should be addressed in a separate
lease.
On a motion by Commissioner Giffin, seconded by Commissioner
Craig, it was unanimously voted to return to regular session at
4:45 p.m.
Attorney E. Foley Vaughan addressed the members of NANTISCO on
points that were not satisfactory to the Commission, starting
with the rent structure. Attorney Reade stated a split
formula would not be agreeable to his clients. On a motion by
Commissioner Beach, seconded by Commissioner Craig, it was
unanimously voted to have Attorney Reade and Attorney Vaughan
get together and discuss the various changes to the contract.

MEETING MARCH 31, 1986 continued
On a motion by Commissioner Giffin, seconded by Commissioner
Craig, it was suggested to reject the proposal of NANTISCO,
build the lot ourselves, run it ourselves, in order to get the
expertise needed to make a decision on retaining control of
the lot or to lease it out. Commissioners Craig and Giffin
voted in favor with Commissioners Beach and Allen opposed.
On a motion by Commissioner Beach, seconded by Commissioner
Giffin, it was recommended to pursue financing the parking
lot by the Commission; and in the meantime, NANTISCO will
get together with our Attorney on the outstanding issues.
Commissioners Beach and Giffin voted in favor and Commissioner
Craig voted against. The Chairman instructed Commissioner
Craig to obtain, in writing, a bank agreement to finance this
project and have it for our next meeting April 7, 1986, at
4:15 p.m.
Edward Thayer and Attorney T. L. Tillotson attended the meeting
in connection with Holmes Field Way, which is adjacent to the
former Rock's property. They requested access for the length
of the aubtting lot and stated they were willing to pay a fee
for this easement. The Commission agreed to take this subject
under advisement and speak with Bill Klein of the Planning
Board for his opinion as to traffic flow recommendations.
Andy Harris of Harris Miller Miller & Hanson attended the
meeting to discuss the noise study and its initial start up.
A news release will be printed in the paper requesting
interested parties to submit names to form an advisory
committee group.
On a motion by Commissioner Beach, seconded by Commissioner
Giffin, it was unanimously voted to confirm the Commission's
acceptance of all Grant Agreements for projects 06 and 07.
The Commission executed a letter to the Emergency Finance
Board stating so.
A letter was read from Attorney Glidden, on behalf of Bruce
Poor, regarding a piece of land not properly taken by the Town
in 1970, and in the clear zone of Runway 6. The Administrative
Assistant was requested to check in Town to see if this lot is
accessible and buildable.
A letter was read from Young's Bike Shop requesting rent-a-car
rental space. The Manager will answer this letter.
Regarding the letter from the Airport Employee's Association
requesting to negotiate a new contract, the Commission decided
to contact the Board of Selectmen and find out who is
negotiating for the Town this year and obtain the same firm,
otherwise, contact Jason and Jason to handle our negotiations.
