Discuss Minimum Standards Freight Issue/Cape Air
Mr. Rafter updated the Commission about a call from FAA regarding the Minimum Standards regarding
freight. It is his understanding that Cape Air had made an informal complaint regarding the freight no
longer being allowed through the terminal. HYA was also on the call. FAA followed up after the call
to let Airport Administration know that they did not see a problem with the way this was handled or hov,
we were operating freight. Additional Update: Newspaper delivery has been arranged with Cape Air to
meet the Minimum Standards.
Dan Drake shared a concern from Cape-Air that the current freight schedule does not allow for delivery
service of prepared food around dinner time. Mr. Rafter is concerned about how this would be
monitored. After a brief discussion it is determined that the Commission would discuss any changes
once a formal proposal was received by Cape Air.
Light Duty Policy
Mr. Rafter reported that the Union has approached Airport Administration regarding a Light Duty
Policy. The Airport currently has one employee on limited duty. We are awaiting doctors orders to
determine if he will be able to return to full duty. Currently we have no policy for light duty and recently
a request for light duty was denied. Mr. Rafter communicated to the union that a policy would need to
be negotiated into the contract and if they would like to move forward with this to submit a proposal to
Airport Administration for review.
Having no further business, Ms. Topham made a Motion to adjourn. Second by Mr. Bouscaren and
Passed unanimously by the following roll-call vote:
Mr. Bouscaren -Aye
Ms. Topham -Aye
Mr. Gasbarro - Aye
Mr. Drake—Aye
Ms. Planzer-Aye
Meeting adjourned 6:55 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Katy Perales, Recorder
