Committee adopts voluntary overnight ramp donation system; several routine motions recorded
Summary
After discussion and comparison with neighboring airports, the committee unanimously approved a voluntary overnight ramp donation system rather than a mandatory fee. The meeting also recorded unanimous approvals for previous minutes and tabling the vice‑chair election.
Victoria Ganz reported neither Machias nor Princeton airports charge ramp or overnight fees, prompting discussion of whether Eastport should adopt a mandatory fee. Committee members generally agreed that mandatory fees would create ill will and administrative burden. Karl moved to implement a voluntary donation system for overnight ramp use, Chris Krohn seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Victoria said she will implement a voluntary donation option such as a QR code or donation box.
The meeting also recorded routine procedural actions: Victoria moved to accept the previous minutes (Bob Chieffo seconded) and the minutes were approved unanimously; Ron Rosenfeld moved to table the vice‑chair election until the next meeting (John Foster seconded) and the motion passed unanimously.
