MEETING NOVEMBER 4, 1987
The meeting was opened at 4:30 p.m. by Chairman Charles Mayhew
with the following Commissioners present: John Sullivan and E.
Foley Vaughan.
The Minutes of the October 7 and October 15, 1987 meetings were
unanimously approved with the following addition to the paragraph
concerning the ATM bid opening in the October 7th Minutes:
Commissioners Vaughan and Craig abstained from all discussion due
to a conflict of interest.
Messrs. Ludders and Tortolano attended the meeting to settle some
concerns of the Commission. It was felt that a single-point
contact, being Mr. Carl Tortolano, would best suit Nantucket
Airport. Regarding the terminal/tower building renovation, they
submitted a project planning/design phase schedule and reviewed
it with the Commission in detail. They also informed the
Commission that MAC has approximately $250,000 available for
Nantucket on this project. They proposed the schedule of events
leading up to a start-construction date in October, 1988. After
HTA's explanation of the problems already incurred, the
Commission unanimously agreed to continue on this terminal
project with Hoyle, Tanner & Associates. The Engineers were
requested to provide the Commission with a cost analysis of the
proposed project. Norman Lanman and Linda Holland, from the
audience, requested the Commission to publicize any capital
improvement projects that they are contemplating so they public
may have their input.
Mr. Ron Santos attended the meeting to request the Commissions
permission to put a 10 x 16' addition onto the back of his
hangar, within the land he is already leasing. It was M/S/P to
allow Mr. Santos to erect the addition to his hangar.
The Manager informed the Commission that the Electric Company
still has not received clear title to the land. The Planning
Board is now requesting that the access road to the bunker area
be paved. The Commission requested a reply be made to the
Electric Company informing them that the Airport will not be
paving this access road. Mr. McCurdy informed the Commission
that a letter from the Planning Board will be forthcoming
concerning the waivers on the MeD permit process.

order to set a fair land value to lease to the FBO, it was M/S/P
to contract Remis Associates Inc. to conduct the appraisal, not
~o exceed $3,500.
The Commission discussed the articles to be submitted for the
Special Town Meeting. Mr. Lanman addressed the Commission on
the ramifications to the Town if we change our budget figures for
this fiscal year, in order to make the necessary changes to
accommodate the additional expenses for the enterprise
accounting. It was M/S/P to approve Article 7 as submitted. Mr.
Lanman requested a revenue justification by next Monday
It was also M/S/P to submit Article 8, 9, and 22 as written for
the Special Town Meeting.
It was M/S/P to allow the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and
Wildlife to use our garage for a deer checking station from
November 30 through December 5.
A letter was read from Representative Gerry Studds supporting the
southeastern airports of the state in their stand against the
latest proposal of Massport to discourage corporate and general
aviation. Mr. McCurdy informed the Commission that on November
18, there will be a hearing in Boston on this subject and should
be participated by officials of the airports affected.
A letter was read from the Board of Appeals concerning the
erection of a hangar/carpenter shop on the Brock property,
adjacent to the Airport. Chairman Mayhew abstained from the
discussion. The Commission had no problem with the Brock appeal;
however, Commissioner Sullivan will review this Brock land swap
file for the Commission.
Regarding a letter from Toscana to lease property in the bunker
area, the Commission requested a reply bB sent Toscana informing
them that we have to get our MCD permit in order before we can
make any future plans for this area.
Under Operations, the Manager informed the Commission that Mr.
John Roche of our maintenance area has requested the Commission
create a "Carpenter Specialist" position in order to get a raise.
The Commission unanimously agreed not to entertain such a
request.
The Manager informed the Commission that we have had several deer
incidences recently. It was M/S/P to appoint Joe Reis as deer
cropper for the Airport, as recommended by the Mass. Division of
Fisheries and Wildlife, to control the deer population on the
Airport.

MEETING NOVEMBER 4, 1987 continued
Commissioner Vaughan requested a cost analysis on the parking lot
and was informed that APCOA is presently working on it.
Mr. Robert Boyle discussed the recent progress he has made with
the hangar project. In discussing access to the proposed hangar
site, Mr. Boyle was advised that the Airport Commission would not
be able to pave a taxiway to this site. Mr. Boyle had several
alternative suggestions for access. He was asked to provide the
Commission with a proforma and requested to consider a proposal
to have the Airport give him the land for his hangar complex and
go into a partnership with the Commission on this project. This
will be discussed with Town Counsel and the Manager will get back
to Hr. Boyle.
At this point the Secretary left the meeting.
The Manager brought before the Commission that we have received
many complaints concerning the S150.00 vehicle parking fee to
park on a tiedown or in a hangar. The Commission agreed that the
5150 .00 fee will remain and be applied to anyone parking on
Airport property, with the exception of those within the new
parking lot.
Regarding changing the "taxi permit" fee to a "vehicle for hire"
fee, the Commission tabled it for another meeting.
Mr. William McGrath announced to the Commission that he would be
moving his major aviation mechanic operation to Hyannis Airport
and would simply be honoring the terms of his contract with the
Nantucket Airport.
The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
