The Provincetown Airport Commission met at the Provincetown Municipal Airport Conference Room for the purpose of its monthly stated meeting.  Those in attendance were Richard Silva, Steven Page, Steven Tait, Joan Drysdale and Leonard Alberts, Commissioners, Jason Stover, Alternate Commissioner and Butch Lisenby, Airport Manager.  Richard Silva, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 5:33 P.M.

 

I.  LOGAN AIRPORT PEAK PERIOD PRICING UPDATE

 

We are not an essential service airport but authorities are working on getting a special exemption for only some flights, not all for us.  There is no definite info at this point but authorities recognized us and will try to work with us.

 

II.  RUNWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE

 

The project is done, awaiting only approvals.  All seems okay.

 

III.  PARKING APRON/SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT UPDATE

 

Construction was completed by 15 May 2004.  A final inspection was held with the FAA, MAC, and the contractor on 17 May.  Punch list items noted at the final inspection are being completed and the project will be closed out by 30 June 2004.  Despite difficult working conditions when the project started, the project was completed slightly ahead of schedule and will be under budget.

 

IV.  AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE

 

The final Scope of Work, project schedule and the fee estimate has been submitted to the FAA and MAC.  The airport is waiting for the required independent cost estimate, expected this week, in order to complete the FAA Grant application process.  The environmental subcontractor has requested authorization from FAA to do habitat fieldwork prior to the Grant award.  We are waiting for their cost estimate for that work, prior to sending the request to MAC and FAA.

 

V.  MOA UPDATE

 

There is nothing new to report.
