Santos appointed to airport commission over Dolby The newest member of the airport commission is Daniel Santos of Cummaquid. The former president of Horsley & Witten in Sandwich was selected over long-time civic participant TomDolby at last week's council meeting. Some have questioned the appropriateness of the coun- cil's consideration of Santos for the post, as Horsley & Witten has and continues to serve as consultants to the airport. Santosleft thefirm in 2002, beyond the limitations establishedbythestateEthics Commissionregardingconflict of interest considerations. | Airport releasesa decade of executive session minutes, more to come The Barnstable Municipal Airport Commissionreleased executive session minutes from 40 closed-door meet- ings between 1986 and 1996 last week, and there's more to come. After Airport Commission ChairmanArthurKimber dis- covered that the commission had not properly released past executive session min- utes,, he established a com- mittee to reviewthe contents of the still-closed files. Last week's release represented the first of two sets. The re- view committee, made up of Kimber and commissioners Robert O'Brien arid Michael Dunning, is reviewing the next set, ranging from 1997 to 2001. It's expected that these minutes will be ready for release at the September meeting.

He was followed to the podium by Mark Nelson of Horsley & Witten, Inc., who walked the board through avirtual tour of the property. Board members had ques- tions about the sufficiency of the private wellproposed for the site, as well asthe capac- ity of a underground water storage tank that would be used to fight fires.
