Hanscom Field Business Plan -1985 William Coleman, Director of Aviation opened the discussion of the Business Plan by reviewing its history, 1985 accomplishments and plans for 1986. The status of Hanscom' s financial status was reviewed - Revenues , particularly from rentals rose in FY85 , due to increased rents rather than new property coming on line. In response to questions, Bill Coleman stated that Massport will be looking at ways to increase revenues in 1986, especially from user fees - He further stated that the majority of monies spent at Hanscom are from revenue bonds, and that Hanscom receives minimal funds from the Airport Improvement Program. He promised to follow up on requests for faster progress on the Transition Zone Study, and provide more detailed financial information for the members. The Plan was summarized as having no surprises for the Commission and stating that Massoort ' s policy, as stated in the Master Plan will be reviewed in 1986. 3 . GEIR Update Hugh Willis, project manager from WCH Industries introduced himself and advised that other sub-contractors for the Project will be : IEP (water) , Fay, Spofford, Thorndike (airports , HMMH (noise) and CTPS (traffic. Massport will provide the air quality input. He stated that 1985 has been chosen as the base line year, although 1983 had been designated originally. The change was made because 1985 data is more complete and the 5 year projection will go from there. A retro- spective analysis going back to 1978 will also be done. The final product will have a chapter for each task, as outlined in the draft distributed at the meeting. Norm Farmamelli described an outline of scenarios Massport will use for the GEIR. They are based on the MEPA Scope of Work and will be estimates of possible activity, since forecasting at a general aviation airport is difficult . Work will be held up until the Greiner Engineering work in the Civil Terminal Area is under way. Massport and the Air Force will talk to tenants and the National Guard to determine future projected flight activity. 4. Fuel Tax Sandy Sanford distributed a report summarizing the Sub Committee meeting held on January 16th. A follow up meeting has been planned with Town officials on Friday, January 23rd at 4 :30 P.M. 5. Statistics & Planning Joyce Hals distributed the 1985, 12 months EXP statistics, which will be slightly revised before a final "Noise Report" will be presented by HMMH in March. She stated that it appears that 1985 noise levels were no higher than in 1984 in spite of increased flight activity. 6.
