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.
