MEETING JUNE 2, 1986
The meeting was opened at 4:15 p.m. by Chairman Robert Allen with
the following Commissioners present: Norman Beach, Alexander
Craig, Robert Epple and Thomas Giffin.
The Minutes of the May 14, 19, and 23, 1986 meetings were
unanimously approved as written.
Mr. William Dawes of Lawrence Lynch Corporation, addressed the
Commission on a parking/security system for the parking lot. He
explained that Lawrence Lynch will be ordering the control equip-
ment under a change order. On a motion by Commissioner Craig,
seconded by Commissioner Beach, it was unanimously voted to give
Mr. Dawes permission to order the appropriate equipment from the
Eidams Company.
A letter was read from the FAA requesting an airport improvement
projects priority list for the upcoming 1987 fiscal year. Mr.
Holdgate explained that the completion of the taxiway relocation
will be with '87 monies; and our other priorities still remain
the same, which is to connect the Tower and Terminal Buildings,
including new bathroom facilities, and a taxiway to the Delta
property. The Commission expressed their concern in enclosing
the entire airport with security fencing. On a motion by
Commissioner Craig, seconded by Commissioner Giffin, it was
unanimously voted to reinstate the projects already submitted.
A request was received from Around Nantucket Car Rental to
transfer their lease to include Budget Rent-A-Car, operated by
Albert C. Perry and the Sara Corporation. On a motion by
Commissioner Craig, seconded by Commissioner Epple, it was
voted, with Commissioner Beach opposed, to allow this transfer
in principal.
On a motion by Commissioner Beach, seconded by Commissioner
Giffin, it was unanimously voted to allow Gull Air permission to
sublease to New York Air.
On a motion by Commissioner Craig, seconded by Commissioner Epple,
it was unanimously voted to provide a lease to Annie Teasdale for
the use of the old boiler building for the printing process of
her business.
MEETING JUNE 2, 1986 continued
Regarding the requests received for food catering businesses to
service the Nobadeer Beach area, the memorandum received from Town
Counsel did not address the liability of allowing concessionnaires
onto Airport property. The Commission requested the Manager to
solicit Mr. Vaughan's advice on this question for the next meeting.
In discussing the Holmes Field Way access, the Commission agreed
that the entrance gateway should be moved closer to Old South Road
with high security fencing up to the gate and lower, 4-foot height
fencing, erected from the gate to Old South Road, on both sides.
This was unanimously voted on a motion by Commissioner Craig,
seconded by Commissioner Epple.
Ms. Diane Coombs attended the meeting and requested the Commission
to make a freight, pick-up area accessible to the public.
Considerable discussion ensued. Commissioner Giffin, with his years
of experience in handling air freight, was requested to assist the
Manager and corne up with a viable solution for picking up freight.
Mr. Bruce Holdgate requested the Commission to lease a piece of
land to erect a T-hangar. Bruce was directed to contact Gull Air
regarding the purchase of their newly constructed hangar along Old
South Road.
Mr. Holdgate informed the Commission that Fred Holdgate would also
like to lease a piece of land for a tie down and possibly the
construction of a T-hangar in the future. He is interested in the
new Delta area.
The Commission was given a copy of C. W. Whittier's, proposal for
a rent-rate structure for the Delta property. Commissioner Craig
informed them that Mr. Collins suggested that we sit with a designer
friend of his from Boston, for a better plan and layout for the
Delta property.
Coastal Air was given permission to wash aircraft down by the old
maintenance building.
Mr. Holdgate asked the Commission who would be in charge until
July 1st, as the new Airport Manager is here. The Commission voted
that present management would continue until June 30th.
Regarding Mr. Robert Walsh's request for a reduction in rent, the
Commission stated he must pay for the leased space by the square
foot and also pay $1,200 for running an additional business in
that space.
Town Counsel, Foley Vaughan's invoice will be deferred to the next
meeting. The Commission requested information on the status of
the interest on our account.
Commissioner Craig brought up the subject of all the Airport
employees coming across the front ramp with their private vehicles.
Mr. Holdgate stated that he had spoken to each of the airlines
today and one of our own employees, not to drive across the ramp.
