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. Page 1 of 3 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.

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.
