The Minutes of the 9/5, 9/10 and 9/15/86 meetings were unanimously approved as written. Taxicab drivers Joe Marks and Ernest Whelden attended the meeting for a hearing on alledged wrong doing on the part of Mr. Marks. After rereading Mr. Whelden's original letter of complaint and a letter from two eyewitnesses supporting his claim, and after hearing from Mr. Marks regarding his side of the incident, the Commission agreed that Mr. Marks should receive a verbal warning this time and be reminded that traffic must flow around the parking circle in order to get into the taxi line after dispensing passengers in front of the terminals. If there is a repeat incident, Mr. Marks was warned that his airport taxi permit would be suspended for one week, during the busy season. Regarding a letter from Mary and Jamie Marks, requesting a long-term land lease, it was requested that the Acting Manager find a suitable spot in the Bunker area and finalize the details for the Commission's review, or inform the Markses that they would have to await submission of the final layout from Sasaki if they would rather have land in the Delta area. After reviewing the Sasaki Associates' proposal for Delta site planning services, on a motion by Commissioner Craig, seconded by Commissioner Mayhew, it was unanimously voted to request a fee schedule change to reflect costs plus fixed fees, the total not to exceed $13,500.00 It was M/S/P to have Town Counsel write Mr. Bruce Poor requesting his intensions on the land he claims was improperly taken by the Town and inform Poor that his legal opinion is that the land taking is valid. . The Commission agreed to review the engineering proposals in order to make a selection of one for future airport projects, which will be done at our next meeting October 6, 1986. Page 1 of 3 MEETING SEPTEMBER 22, 1986 continued It was M/S/P to have Commissioner Beach and perhaps Attorney Vaughan discuss with the Town Treasurer a satisfactory agreement to retain the Airport interest in our account. As the Commission had not received a reply from Town Counsel on exercising the UPS lease option, it was tabled until the next meeting. It was M/S/P to find out when the Sasaki Delta plan will be ready and then put UPS on a 3-month lease in order to decide whether they should be relocated to the Delta area. At this point in the meeting, Mrs. Bertha O'Neill arrived to corroborate Mr. Whelden's side of the taxicab disagreement. Regarding Mr. William McGrath's proposal to take over the fueling and tie down operation of the Airport, Mr. Mayhew offered for the Commission's review a list of costs and expenses of these areas. After some discussion, it was agreed to investigate further into the facts and figures and allow the new Airport Manager time to review the operation before making any final decision. Chairman Allen brought up the fact that Lawrence Lynch is clearing up the area where the cobblestones were stored, and we should ask Bill Dawes if they could remove the dog pound foundation at the same time. Mr. McGrath informed the Commission that the maintenance hangar needs a new heating system, and he has researched various types. It was M/S/P that the Airport would go out to bid on installing a new system and McGrath would be responsible for paying the monthly heating bills. Mr. McGrath mentioned he would also be insulating the ceiling better. Regarding the extension request on the Compass Rose lease, the Commission advised Mr. McGrath to negotiate with Mr. Jerry Walker to buyout the remainder of the present lease. At 6:05 p.m., on a motion by Commissioner Craig, seconded by Commissioner Mayhew, it was voted to enter Executive Session. The votes were as follows: Robert Allen Aye Norman Beach Aye Alexander Craig Aye Thomas Giffin Aye Charles Mayhew Aye Page 2 of 3 ~ ." MEETING SEPTEMBER 22, 1986 continued Mrs. Norris informed the Commission that the subcontractor on the parallel taxiway project had written several of the Town Depart- ments to withhold funds from Mike Lamb, Inc. until the subcontractor received full payment for his work. The Board of Selectmen have already involved Town Counsel in this matter, however, the FAA has advised the Commission to handle the situation differently. Mrs. Norris was requested to have Town Counsel contact the FAA before continuing with any action. * * * * * * * * * At 6:25 p.m., it was unanimously voted to return to regular session in order to adjourn the meeting.
