MEETING APRIL 15, 1987
The Meeting was opened at 2:30 p.m. by Chairman Robert Allen with
the following Commissioners present: Norman Beach, Alexander
Craig, and Charles Mayhew.
The Chairman requested a moment of silence ln memory of Mike
Lamb.
The Minutes of the March 23 and 30, 1987 meetings were
unanimously approved as written with the addition of Commissioner
Craig's name to the attendance of the 3/23/87 reconvened meeting.
The Airport Manager informed the Commission that he had received
telephone calls from both MAC and FAA stating that they would.
like to review our present and future leases and that all leases
should be made at fair market value. They requested a meeting
with the Commission sometime in the future.
Bill McGrath made a proposal to the Commission to invest
approximately $100,ODO to renovate and heat the large hangar,
$50,000 to further renovate the maintenance hangar and $150,000
to connect the two buildings with a 2-story structure. Attorney
DeRensis agreed that the 1986 Town Meeting Article giving Mr.
McGrath permission to have a lease with the Airport for 20 years
with 1, 10-year extension would also apply to his renovating and
connecting the hangars. Mr. McGrath also stated he would like to
have another 10-year extension and lease the hangars for $1 per
year. At the end of the lease period, the structures will revert
to the Airport. It was M/S/P that the Commission agrees in
principle with Mr. McGrath's proposal to renovate and connect the
two hangars, and requested him to get together with his lawyer,
the Airport Manager and Town Counsel to work out an agreeable
solution for a lease. A request for proposal should be drawn up
for FBO's and be put out for bid.
Attorney DeRensis reviewed exclusivity laws with the Commission.
He stressed that every bidder must be given the same standards
and opportunities to provide a service. What you give one, you
must give another. It was M/S/P to draw up minimum standards by
the Manager and Town Counsel for the Commission's review.

request reassignment of their counter space to that vacated by
Colonial Car. The Commission felt that the rent-a-car agencies
should remain as presently assigned. Mr. Bowen was also

to wash cars and that they might establish an agreement with the
new Airport Car Wash or the car wash in Town.

McCurdy will look into keeping down the dust in the remote car
parking area.
