1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />Ken Crow - 7350 151st Avenue NW - Has this study revealed how much <br />tax revenue will be drawn in because of the airport? <br />Chairman Ippel replied that the study has just gotten under way <br />and that information has not been determined yet. <br />Louis Abendroth - 15810 Sodium St - Can you determine that residents <br />will benefit from the airport because of taxes and revenues brought <br />into the City? If the City turns the Airport over to the Metro <br />Airport Commission, there's no saying what they will do with it. <br />Once the airport is in, it could grow like cancer. <br />Resident - 16413 Jasper - What kind of tax revenue have <br />the 3 businesses that settled here because of the airport brought <br />into the community? <br />Ken Wagner - How many of the Commission members are pilots? <br />Commission replied that five of the members are pilots -- 4 are <br />currently licensed. <br />Commissioner Siebert stated that he lives in the area of the airport <br />traffic pattern and if the airport would not have an economic impact <br />on the City, he wouldn't want to see the airport here either. <br />Ken Wagner - Commissioner Siebert could have use for the airport and <br />sees it differently than someone who will never use it. <br />Commissioner Greenberg stated he is currently not a licensed pilot <br />and his interest is towards economic development of the community. <br />' Chairman Ippel stated that he is a licensed pilot but has minimal <br />involvement with flying and it makes no difference to him if he <br />has to drive to Crystal to do some flying. Chairman Ippel stated <br />that he is interested in the impact of economic development that <br />' an airport could bring to the bity; he is a resident of Ramsey <br />first and a pilot away from that. <br />Brenda Bauerkemper - Of the 40 businesses that did respond, how <br />many said they did have planes and would base them at Gateway? <br />Mr. Koshak stated that the surveys have not been completely compiled <br />and could not give an exact number at this time. <br />Commission recessed at 9:25 p.m. <br />Chairman Ippel called the public meeting back to order at 9:37 p.m. <br />Ken Wagner - Who owns the airport now? I am sure the current <br />owners would benefit if the City took the airport over. <br />Commissioner Greenberg stated that the airport is owned by the <br />Anoka Industrial Park which consists of 26 shareholders and he is <br />one of those shareholders. Commissioner Greenberg stated that <br />he brought the 'conflict of interest' issue up when he was appointed <br />to the Airport Commission and that is why he refrains from voting <br />when there is conflict of interest. <br />AP /May 16, 1984 <br />Public Meeting <br />
