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.

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.
