Office of Airport Manager
Phone (617) 228-1255
Town of N ontucket
NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Nantucket Island, Massachusetts 02554
MEETING DECEMBER 15, 1986
The Airport Commission was opened at 4:30 p.m. by Chairman Robert
Allen with the following Commissioners present: Norman Beach,
Thomas Giffin, and Charlie Mayhew.
The Minutes of the November 24, 1986 meeting were unanimously
approved as written.
Mrs. Catherine Romano, an abutter to the Airport property leading
to the ocean, submitted a letter to the Commission requesting to
attach a chain link fence to the ^irport fence, to prevent people
from cutting through and destroying her property. It was M/S/P
to allow Mrs. Romano to erect the fence, as approved by the HDC,
as long as it is not actually attached to the Airport fence.
Annie Teasdale, a tennant, attended the meeting to request repairs
be made to the old boiler building roof. The Manager suggested a
50/50 cost sharing solution and was requested to obtain estimates
on the repair.
Regarding a letter received from Hertz rent-a-car requesting to
move into the vacated Colonial Car space, this request was denied
at this time, as the space has already been assigned to National;
however, this letter will be kept on file that Hertz wants that
particular spot.
A letter from Tri-Air Freight, Inc. was read requesting counter
space to operate a passenger service between ACK/MVY/HYA. The
Commission asked Mr. McCurdy to look into this request further,
discuss the level of service, etc., and get back to the Commission.
Regarding Tripp Trucking's request to sublease a portion of their
leased land to Nantucket Food Service, it was M/S/P to allow this
request contingent upon their receiving all proper local permits,
including a major commercial development permit.
The Airport improvement project priority listing was reviewed,
unanimously approved as submitted, and is attached to these
Minutes.
The Commission reviewed the letter from Town Counsel regarding
exclusive sale of petroleum products at the Airport. Mr. McGrath
questioned the fact that previously, many years ago, the Airport

had leased out the fuel operation, and therefore, no longer has an
exclusive. He also stated that he is willing to pay the Airport
the same amount of profit as the Airport has been making on the
fuel. The Commission informed him that they are awaiting the
preliminary budget figures and the cost analysis being done on
farming out the fuel operation before they can make any decision.
The Commission reviewed the Sasaki Delta property plans and
requested copies be sent each Commissioner to review at home before
voting on anyone particular plan. Chairman ^llen suggested leaving
the taxiway-accessible lots in one s~lid block to be divided up as
needed. It will also have to be decided whether the Airport is
planning on providing water and sewer to this area. Commissioner
I1ayhew suggested we provide any lessees with design specs to be
adhered to in developing an aesthetically beautiful commercial area.
These comments will be brought to the attention of Sasaki.
Bids for computer hardware and software were opened by the Chairman
and were received from Computers Northeast, Alden Business Machines,
Inc., and Cape Cod Computer Center, Inc. These were turned over to
the Manager for his review and recommendation.
Under general operations, Commissioner Giffin informed the Commission
that he has seen a small windsock being used at Hyannis Airport,
visable from the ends of their runwaysj and he found them very
helpf~l and thought they would be a useful tool to pilots. The,
Manager will check on this for possible use on runways 6, 24 and 33.
Mr. McCurdy informed the Commission that he is obtaining reflective
posts to be placed along the sides of the old parallel taxiway to
prevent aircraft inadvertently taxiing across while trying to reach
the new, lighted taxiway.
It was M/S/P to set a policy on the use of the Airport fire truck
off Airport premises: only under conditions of a major conflagra-
tion in Town, and by request from the Fire Chief, the Airport CFR
truck will be allowed to leave the Airport to respond, but not
until the Siasconset back up fire truck arrives at the Airport.
Major Airport expenses were discussed and approved, as follows:
8 fire suits and boots
2 Scott air packs
250-gallon diesel storage tank
Replace electric regulator with a new one and
update the old one, approximately
$3,300
2,700
8-9,000
15,000
It was also agreed to give permission to remove from the Town books
the unissued loan in the amount of $250,000 to construct T-hangars,
as voted in 1983.
