Special Meeting Minutes
December 3, 2008
The meeting was called to order at 10:35 a.m. by Chairman E. Foley Vaughan with the following
Commissioner present: David C. Gray, Sr. Vice Chair Sheila O'Brien Egan joined the meeting at 10:50
a.m.
Also present were Airport Manager, Al Peterson, Terminal Project Clerk of the Works, Paul Letendre,
Jacobs Engineering consultant Stephen J. Flecchia, Architect Jonathan McCredie and Assistant to the
Airport Manager, Janine Torres.
Chairman Vaughan announced the purpose of the special meeting was to 'kick-off the 2009 CIP
Airport Rescue Fire Fighter (ARFF) Building project by meeting with the recently selected architectural
firm of Fennick and McCredie. Manager Peterson added the importance of meeting the bid deadlines of
this fast-track project as to not jeopardize the FAA funding.
Several initial ideas were discussed regarding design, heat and functionality including a basement under
the office side of the building and the use of solar panels. During discussion, the group eliminated the
choice of a metal building, and had different opinions about block versus a traditional Nantucket
building. Manager Peterson reported the HDC has verbally supported the building looking like a
firehouse.
Discussion moved to location and the desire to have drive thru bays. Several options were discussed to
allow this to happen including the moving of the perimeter fence and gates and the rotation of the
building. Mr. Flecchia announced the survey results will be available on December 8th and the boring
results available around December 18th.
Mr. McCredie announced design team member, Armen DerHohannesian, will be out soon to speak with
Mr. Peterson to go through the building 'wish list' .
