Project and Crew Quarters Project.
Mr.Karberg introduced Philip Cox,the Senior Project Manager for CHA Companies. Mr.
Cox is the Owner's Project manager for the Terminal Optimization Project and Crew
Quarters Project.Mr.Karberg invited Mr.Cox to be present to provide a brief introduction.

and has been a customer for many years. Mr. Cox thanked the Commission for awarding
the contracts to CHA Companies. Mr. Cox introduced Mr. Sullivan as the Executive
Project Manager and restated that they are looking forward to supporting the airport during
these projects.
021423-02 Lawrence Lynch Corporation Taxiway Echo Price Adjustment Request.
Mr. Karberg presented the price adjustment request made by Lawrence Lynch on the
Taxiway Echo (TW E) project. Mr. Karberg have asked Nick Deres from Jacobs to be
present as the Consulting Engineer,and Robert Gent and Chris Lynch for Lawrence Lynch
were present. Mr. Karberg gave a brief administrative overview, and asked Jacobs and
Lawrence Lynch to each provide, briefly, more background information on the project
phasing and reimbursement requests,respectively.
Mr. Karberg explained that in his view, the TW E has been a successful project with
professional oversight provided by Jacobs, a quality product delivery by Lawrence Lynch,
and safe and fiscally sound implementation by airport staff. The issue is due to the
discovery and requirement that the Airport characterize PFAS-containing soil before
proceeding with the Phase 3 area. Phase 3 was scheduled for reconstruction in the Spring
season of 2021. Instead,Phase 3 was constructed in the Spring of 2022,while Phase 5 was
constructed Spring of 2021. The Airport subsequently received a repayment request from
Lawrence Lynch in June of 2022. Since the Airport is administering an FAA discretionary
grant with a state share,the airport approached these agencies. FAA and MassDOT viewed
this matter as an escalation cost, which was not an eligible funding cost. This was
documented in a December 2022 reply from Jacobs to Lynch included in the packet.While
Mr.Karberg is sympathetic to the inflation issues raised by Lynch, his initial concern was
that attempt to accommodate Lynch's request raised issues for the airport of precedent,
eligibility, and appropriateness of a method for disbursement of airport funds.
Mr. Deres thanked Mr. Karberg for the overarching update. Mr. Deres continued by
explaining that the two (2) construction phases had to be traded for PFAS reasons,not for
any condition that the contractor, the engineer, or the airport anticipated. Mr. Deres
explained that it was a matter of how the project had to be constructed to stay within the
02/14/2023 Airport Commission Meeting Page 2 of 13
environmental requirements. Mr.Deres conveyed the point that Lawrence Lynch delivered
the project in a fractional manner and under budget. Mr.Deres explained that Jacobs would
provide a letter with a final determination and dollar value for reconciliation if so decided
by the Commission.
Mr. Lynch added that when Lawrence Lynch bid on the job, the project was to be
constructed over five (5) phases during five (5) different construction seasons. Lawrence
Lynch assumed all risks required to build the job per the phases. Mr.Lynch explained that
Lawrence Lynch was asked to swap Phase 3 with Phase 5 and the constructors willingly
accommodated the request.At the time,Lawrence Lynch would not have known that they
would enter the energy crisis. Mr. Lynch explained that after the phases were swapped,
Lawrence Lynch completed the project during the remarkably unprecedented high energy
cost. Mr.Lynch clarified that Lawrence Lynch would like to be reimbursed for the overage
in the energy cost from what it was.when Lawrence Lynch should have done phase 3 to
what it is when phase 3 was built.Lawrence Lynch is requesting for those increased energy
costs only on the quantity and volume of work_that was larger than the phase five volume.
Mr. Lynch is seeking reimbursement only for the extra work that took place during high
energy costs and went out of sequence with the phasing.
Mr. Gent clarified that this is a modification to the schedule and scope of work and should
be reviewed as an additional cost,not as an escalation.
Mr.Bouscaren asked how much the reimbursement request is for.
Mr. Deres responded that the amount requested by Lawrence Lynch in the letter was
$120,000.
Mr. Gasbarro recommended taking this matter under advisement and further working with
Airport staff and counsel to see if there's a possible resolution to this matter. Mr. Gasbarro
suggested to explain to FAA how the situation differs from escalation and seek a,possible
reimbursement. Mr. Gasbarro recommended keeping the request on the future agenda to
deliberate as a Commission and review alternatives from the staff and Counsel.
011023-01 Public Hearing to Consider Proposed Revisions to Airport's Rates and
Charges—Review 1.1.J Airport Law Enforcement(LEO) Services Methodology.
Mr. Gasbarro read the public hearing opening statement.
Mr. Karberg has appended a revised redline version of the Rates and charges and six(6)
LEO options,with some developed with assistance and input from the airline groups.
• Delta Airlines,Inc. related a preference for option four(4) or six(6).
• JetBlue's email is in the packet.
• American agreed that Mr. Karberg could verbally relate their preference
for option six(6).
Based on combined staff and airline comments,Mr. Karberg recommends option six(6),
and a rate of$0.39 per enplaned passenger. Like any other rate,this can be subject to
revision based on a future Rates and Charges and evolution of any security costs. Option
four(4)presents the same methodology but does not translate to a per enplaned passenger
charge.
The other item is a clerical correction to page five (5), Item VI-f. Mr. Karberg clarified
that the pre-heater fee is flat fee for a max 8-hour period.

Airport Gas Stormwater improvements are complete. The as-builts are still pending.
021423-03 2023 Annual Town Meeting (ATM) Warrant Articles-Mr. Karberg
reported that the Airport 's staff have reviewed the ATM warrant for articles related to
airport funding and for any interests. Mr. Karberg doesn't think there is anything
remarkable, but will continue to track up to and through ATM.
021423-04 Hangar 8 Discussion—Mr. Karberg explained that his intention is to
introduce this item and come back with a more detailed pro/con and a recommendation in
a few months regarding the future of Hangar 8. Mr. Karberg reviewed the presentation
included in the packet.
Mr.Hagedorn,the current leaseholder for Hangar 8, expressed an interest in continuing

021423-05 Revised Terminal Airline Tenant Rates and Charges Revisions Ramp Fee
Phase-In Period Policy-In 2022 the Airport provided a policy for Commission's
approval to phase-in increases to the ramp fee,noting that an overnight change to the
ramp fee could be disruptive to tenants, similar to the Fair Market Value (FMV)policy
for land leases. With the Rates and Charges revisions approved in the January 2023
meeting,the airport would also like to update the table associated with the approved 2022
policy.Mr. Karberg believes it is appropriate to ask for the Commission's review and
adoption of the revised fee table.

Finance
021423-06 Presented FY2024 Budget to the Finance Committee on 01/28/23.
Mr. Karberg recognized Ms. Sandsbury work on the FY24 Budget. On 01/28/23 Mr.
Karberg presented the FY24 budget to the Finance Committee. A well-received
presentation with several insightful comments. There are two items Mr. Karberg wanted
to relate back to the Commission:
4- . Mr. Karberg was asked about the general health of the airport and repayment
schedule of the subsidy to the Town of Nantucket. Mr. Karberg explained that the
Airport Commission has traditionally voted to transfer a principal amount of
$235,00 annually to the Town, in addition to any in-kind services for excess
stockpiled materials the airport may have available, and in FY2022 the airport
also made an additional principal transfer of$500,000. The current balance,
assuming the typical $235,000 transfer at the end of FY23 will be$1.4M, with a
payoff in FY2029. Additional in-kind services, or additional transfers will
accelerate the repayment.
+ Mr. Karberg was asked about available land and land development. Mr. Karberg
related the current inventory of shovel-ready/permittable land,Mr. Karberg also
called out the 10-15 acres in the bunker areas that could be available for future
development,but that strategy would be subject to the Commission's direction
and intent for the airport.
080922-02 Capital Projects FY24 Budget Update
Mr. Karberg reviewed the final FY24 Capital Budget for ATM included in the packet.
Due to timing this was also presented to the Finance Committee and the Select Board, but
it has also been an item previously discussed with the Airport Commission.
The airport has eleven (11)projects. Three (3)AIP projects with anticipated funding
splits of 90/5/5 as follows:
+ $22,680,000 for the South Ramp Expansion. This is in addition to the original
authorization of$15,250,000 approved in FY22.
+ $5,040,000 for the Runway (RW)24 High speed exit Taxiway (TW). However,
this was recently deprioritized by the FAA following the recent CIP meeting. Mr.
Karberg met with ATC and staff and recommends continuing to move ahead and
bringing this project back again to the top of the list and exploring other grant
timing strategies to keep as a priority.
• $1M for Perimeter Road relocation.
02/14/2023 Airport Commission Meeting Page 7 of 13
The Airport has a fourth AIP-like project(BIL). The airport is requesting$9 million in
supplemental funding to the original $8 million request, assuming a 70%eligibility split.

021423-07 2nd Quarter Report FY23-Mr.Karberg reviewed the Airport Summary
Sheet. The summary at its surface shows two positive items,for which.Ms. Sandsbury
and Mr.Rafter deserve credit:
+ The airport made revenue budget in six(6)months.
4- Six(6)months in 50%of expenses.
Mr. Karberg reported that there are a lot of second level items that deserve caution.
4- Expenses are outpacing revenue growth (78%versus 29%).

Calendar Year
+ The week of February 6th Mr. Karberg discussed the growth in Jet A Sales, and the
dynamics of that market.
+ Mr. Karberg reviewed the history and implications of passenger choice of mode of
transport to the Island.
o Graph represents relative market share of commercial boat versus
commercial air transport to and from Nantucket.
o There was a period from 1997-2008 when boat passenger traffic was equal
to plane passenger traffic. There were three (3) carriers operating multiple
ACK-HYA sections. Mr.Karberg calls it the"golden decade".
o After the "golden decade"there was a steady decline since 1999 based on
declining Part-135 viability and the evolution of fast ferry service.
o Bottomed out 2016,then steady growth(excepting COVID) in regional air
carrier service.
o The airport today captures the same percentage of trips as did prior to the
"golden decade",but that time period is an important part of our residents'
identification of our value.
+ Mr. Karberg explained that this is a long-term leadership item. The actions the
airport take to retain and develop air service and associated facilities should align
with leadership's vision for Nantucket Airport as a facility, and its role in the
community.
