Committee Chair William Shubert opened the meeting at 12 Noon.
The items were taken up as per the published agenda.
1. Hermon Noise Easement.
The Committee voted to go into Executive Session for the purpose
of discussing possible offer to purchase real estate or develop-
ment rights, and directed the City Solicitor to pursue a suggest-
ed agreement. Any such agreement would be subject to further
ratification by the Committee. The Executive Session was then
terminated.
2. Duty Free Shop.
The Committee unanimously accepted the Airport Director's
proposal to extend the three-year option contained in the
current .lease agreement with the Duty Free Shop concessionaire
to five years, based on $250,000 of improvements made by the ,
concessionaire to the facilities in the International Terminal.
This change would not alter the requirement for a re -negotiation
of terms prior to renewal. Upon the suggestion of the City
Solicitor, it was further determined that the lease modification
should incorporate new language regarding the workers' compen-
sation issue, so as to protect the airport's interests.
3. Airport Liability Insurance.
The Committee Chair and member Richard Stone voted to accept
the quote of the Woodrow Cross Agency, in the amount of$85,o00,
for the Airport's comprehensive liability insurance coverage.
This represented a 08 increase over the previous year's coverage.
Next year's coverage
rage is scheduled to be sent out for bids.
Councilor Soucy abstained from voting due to a possible conflict
of interest.

runway sweeper (broom) vehicle, as presented by the Schmidt
Equipment Co. This item is to be paid for by a 903 FAA grant.

a previously approved contract with Beech Aerospace, for the
lease of an airport hangar. The new language would reflect
