PROVINCETOWN AIRPORT COMMISSION

                                       WEDNESDAY, 14 JULY 2004

 

 

 

 

The Provincetown Airport Commission met at the Provincetown Municipal Airport Conference Room on Wednesday, 14 July 2004 for the purpose of its monthly stated meeting.  Those in attendance were Richard Silva (arrived at 6:04 P.M.), Steven Page, Steven Tait, and Joan Drysdale, Commissioners, Butch Lisenby, Airport Manager, and Michelle Haynes, Cape Air. Jason Stover, Alternate Commissioner and Leonard Alberts, Commissioners, were excused.  The meeting was called to order at 5:45 P.M.

 

I.  LOGAN AIRPORT PEAK PERIOD PRICING UPDATE

 

Lisenby and other Town representatives met at Senator Kennedy’s office asking for his assistance.  We hope to attain an exemption, but don’t fit any of the current exemption statuses.  Neither the FAA nor the DOT can grant exemptions for EA airports.  They state MassPort is the proper authority to make the exemption.

 

MassPort is contemplating how and if they can grant exemptions.  What they are currently proposing is at best a partial exemption about which Dan Wolf, Cape Air CEO/owner is very concerned.  He feels the current proposal is not the answer.  Cape Air, under Michelle Haynes and Dan Wolf, will continue to work in the weeks to come to reach an agreement.

 

II.  PARKING APRON/SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT UPDATE

 

FAA project closeout report submitted last month.  Waiting for contractor to complete a half dozen outstanding punch list items to completely close out the project so the 10 percent retainage withheld can be released to contractor.  EK will contact the contractor weekly to receive status updates.  The project came in under time and under budget.

 

III.  MASTER PLAN UPDATE

 

The final scope of work, project schedule and fee estimate negotiated between the airport and EK with FAA and MAC concurrence.  EK prepared and submitted contracts to cover items of work.  MAC grant application prepared and submitted.  EK prepared and submitted a project organizational chart for the airport, FAA, and MAC staff to update the FAA grant application.  Work has begun on this project that will include an Airport Master Plan, Airport Layout Plans, Environmental Review, and Environmental Notification Form.

 

IV.  PARK SERVICE MOA UPDATE

 

No change in status.

VI.  OTHER BUSINESS

 

1.  Michelle Haynes expressed concern about the shuttle service.  She stated she had been told that at times it is not stopping at all or is not here when passengers are here.  She said the RTA needs to keep to a schedule, it is not hitting the mark.

 

People are waiting inside the terminal, the driver does not see them, and thus does not stop. A solution has to be found.

 

2.  Steve Tait stated there is trouble with the Enterprise car rental service.  They appear not to be keeping a consistent schedule, there is no local advertising to notify customers of location or telephone number.  The service needs to be looked into.  Lisenby will discuss with Enterprise.

 

VIII.  MINUTES

 

The minutes of May 5 and June 2 were submitted for consideration.

 

          MOTION:       MOVE TO ACCEPT AS PRESENTED
