October 19, 1988
The meeting was opened at 4:33 p.m. by Chairman Charles Mayhew.
The following Commissioners were present: Alexander Craig,
Ronald Russell, John Sullivan, and E. Foley Vaughan. Also
present were Manager Jo-ann M. Norris, Airfield Supervisor Bill
Welch, and Secretary Myrtle Eldridge.
The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved with the
following corrections:

after "for their review" insert

Page 1, Paragraph 6
delete "until the completion of
his FBO building"..
The Boyle hangar lease was discussed with Commissioner Craig
abstaining from the discussion. MAC questioned the 10 day notice
on default and recommended the Commission consider 30 days. The
Commission unanimously agreed to maintain the original 10 day
default notice. Chairman Mayhew stated the lease may be
executed, once in final draft form, and be ready by the end of
the week.
Manager Norris reported on the Articles submitted for the Special
Town Meeting. An Article for updating the computer equipment
($10,000) and an Article for Carl Steinhauer (traveling
expenses-$345.10) has already been submitted to the Board of
Selectmen.
Manager Norris was requested to clarify, with the Board of
Selectmen's office, under who's name Airport Articles should be
submitted for Special Town Meetings and Regular Town Meetings.
Special Meeting Articles now require the Selectmen's signatures
prior to presenting articles at the meeting. Commissioner
Vaughan requested the Manager to see if this is a hard/fast
ruling. Articles for regularly scheduled meetings are to be
submitted as need arises.

MEETING October 19, 1988, continued
Possible Articles for the March Town Meeting ('89-'90) were
discussed with Manager Norris requesting input from the
Commission. Projects that were discussed were: Terminal, Phase
I; Terminal, Phase II; ramp rehab; replacing fuel tanks and
monitoring devises ($60,000); maintenance vehicles; aerial
photogrammetry of the entire Airport; and furnishing the new
meeting room. There is a possibility some of these proposed
items can be completed prior to this meeting and an article will
not be necessary.
Expenses over the budget included: parking lot groundskeeping;
maintenance; a telefax machine ($1500-$2000); and re-skinning
the large hangar.
Chairman Mayhew inquired on the progress of our blanket MCD
Permit. Manager Norris informed the Commission that the new
ruling states the MCD Permit may be issued individually, as the
need arises, or as an area is developed.
Chairman Mayhew stated that as Lawrence Lynch Corporation will be
relinquishing their lease property fronting Old South Road in
December, Manager Norris is to advertise the availability of this
area.
A motion was M/S/P for the Massachusetts Wildlife Biologist to
use the maintenance garage for a deer checking station again this
year.
The FAA questioned the future development plans for the Old South
Road area. Manager Norris is to request an updated Airport
layout plan and will discuss the matter with Edwards & Kelsey,
our Engineers.
Manager Norris is to contact Jerry Walker regarding the COMPASS
ROSE lease. The Commission agreed to accept $12.50 psf or 3 per
cent of gross (which ever is highest) and to extend his lease for
six (6) months.
In conjunction with Part 139, Mrs. Norris informed the Commission
that all but one of our men are now trained for our
Airport-Rescue-Firefighting (ARFF). Training consisted of
classroom study at the Nantucket Fire Station and a live fire
drill at the Airport. Manager Norris stressed the importance of
our men being informed of the many facets of firefighting in
their job.

MEETING October 19, 1988, continued
Manager Norris read the minutes of the Noise Meeting of October
14, 1988, and will follow through on the recommendations covered
in this meeting. As John Johnson was unable to attend, Manager
Norris will write him and enclose a copy of the minutes.
Airfield Supervisor Welch is re-striping the main runway,
stenciling the taxiway designations and labeling the inner and
outer taxiways.
Regarding the ARC (Agustos Ramos, President) 5-year lease review,
Mr. Ramos has indicated objection to rent increase from $4500 to
$5400, as he has been unable to develop the land as desired and
therefore, has not made any profit from this land. The
Commission indicated that property could have been utilized in
various ways and remained adamant on the increase of rent.
EXPRESS AIR hand delivered a letter (10/19/88) listing the
Corporate Officers of their Company. The Commission requested
Manager Norris to write EXPRESS AIR informing them that the
Secretary of State's records do not reflect what they have
presented. Manager Norris questioned EXPRESS AIR's use of two
aircraft, and claiming the use of only one, during the summer.
It was recommended Manager Norris request a copy of their flight
logs for May through the current date. Should the Company be
using two aircraft, they are to be billed accordingly.
Commissioner Craig question if the Airport was prepared for the
take over of the parking lot facility. Manager Norris reported
that information would be placed in the computer and be billed
twice monthly.
Manager Norris informed the Commission that Stephen Murphy and
APCOA are checking on abandoned cars left on Airport property and
turning them over the the Nantucket Police Department to follow
up with their owners. Commissioner Craig recommended these
violators be charged the normal parking lot rates. Commissioner
Craig also requested policing the landing/parking areas more
carefully. Aircraft and cars have been incorrectly parking in the
tiedown areas. Airfield Supervisor Welch assured the Commission
that he is checking this area frequently.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:25 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
