The Minutes of the October 20, 1986 meeting were unanimously
approved as written.
Mrs. Janet Hughes, Chairperson of the Fall River Airport
Commission spoke to the Commission on her experience in leasing
outthe fuel concession to the FBO and the legal ramifications
which resulted. It was M/S/P, on Commissioner Craig's suggestion,
to have our fuel financial background reviewed by the Town
Auditors and obtain a legal opinion from Town Counsel on the
exclusive right to handle fuel.

Thorndike made a presentation to the Commission with regard to
remaining as consulting engineers on airport projects. They

the progress made on the groundwater study. Mr. Forns, sub-
contractor for FST,stated that his work on this study would take
approximately six months to complete. He stressed the fact that
mid January is the final date for applying for this funding.
After reading a letter from Colonial Car, it was unanimously
voted to accept the termination of their lease and allow
National Car to vacate their space in the Gull Air lobby'and
move into Colonial's space. The Commission will not look
favorably on another rent-a-car sublease in the Gull Air lobby.

MEETING NOVEMBER 1u, 1986 continued
Mr. Torn Romero attended the meeting to participate in the
discussion of the agenda item pertaining to eliminating vehicular
parking in the aircraft area. Mr. McCurdy informed the
Commission of the FAA Security Division visit last week, which
resulted in our receiving a warning for unauthorized persons
having access to our Airport ramp area. He suggested a card
control at all gates which lead to ramps, photo I.D., vehicle
bumper stickers and security personnel to control personnel on
the ramps. Back-up law enforcement officers would be provided by
the Nantucket Police Department through tower or police radio.
He suggested a police crystal be place in the security vehicle
radio. Mr. McCurdy would also like to see the roadway leading
from the hangar area to R/W 24 be placed on our list of FAA
funded projects to be made into a regular taxiway.
Regarding Federal Express' request to install a dish receiver,
it was M/S/P to allow this request, the location and type of
mount to be decided upon by the Airport Manager.
Mr. McCurdy informed the Commission that several computer firms
have been consulted with regard to providing computer expertise
in choosing the software and hardware for our specific needs.
Regarding the request from Tripp Trucking to erect a building on
their premises and to sublease a portion of their land to a
subcontractor. It was unanimously agreed to allow Tripp '1
Trucking to erect a building, after checking their lease to
make sure appropriate provisions are made for this, and to
allow them to sublease at the going rate of $1200 per year for
conducting an additional business and to inform them that they
may not charge their sublessee any more than Tripp is paying us.
It was M/S/P to allow the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Wildlife
Division to use our garage as their deer checking station again
this year.
Commissioner Craig voiced his concern over all the requests for
"freebies" from our parking lot. It was agreed that at this
time, no discounts will be extended, until we see how well the
parking lot financial issue is being resolved.
It was M/S/P to table the matter regarding the photo I.D. for
general aviation ramp tiedown spot owners/lessees and to look
into other options, if available. This will be discussed at the
next meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 7:48 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Secretary
