This Airport Commission was formed by Council <br />t to look at what the possibilities would be as far as development <br />of an airport in the City of Ramsey on the site of the existing <br />facility. Gateway North is currently a public use /privately <br />t owned facility and this Commission is exploring the possibility <br />of making that facility a municipal airport with the City acquiring <br />property and operation of it. The City has retained engineering <br />' and consulting firms that are coordinating with agencies in State <br />and Federal government to determine minimum requirements necessary <br />to obtain State and Federal funding. So far, this Commission has <br />identified those requirements and developed a preliminary Airport <br />t Layout Plan based on State and Federal criteria',- Tonight, we <br />are simply unveiling that plan and soliciting public comments; <br />we will then submit these plans and public comments to the <br />' appropriate agencies for their input. Preliminary cost estimates <br />and forecast of useage have been prepared and now the Commission <br />is going to try and determine if there is a compatible situation <br />' to obtain funding and decide whether the economic return and <br />benefit to the City would be worth the cost expended. <br />Mr. Larry Koshak - Stated that the Airport Master Plan is a <br />combination of data and plans that are compiled on this proposed <br />airport site. The Airport Layout Plan is a sheet showing the <br />physical aspects of the airport facility, <br />AP /August 22, 1984 <br />Public Meeting <br />
