Mr. Otto stated that once the <br />environmental review is completed, the City can submit pre-application for Mn/DOT and <br />FAA funding. <br /> <br />Counciimemkw~r Peterson requested some back~ound information on the autho:-ization to <br />proceed with pre-application for funding and if the Gateway Airport project is a "given" if <br />FAA approves the environmental review document. <br /> <br />}'."ir. Otto replied that on July 26, 1987, City Council authorized submitting the <br />environmental infon'narion document to review agencies and ordered completion of Phase <br />II of the Airport Master Plan which includes pre-application for funding. The state would <br />then review pre-applications and issue a project ran'king and tentative allocation of funds. <br />Subszquent to that, the City would receive an offer for funding and must then m~e a <br />decision to proceed, with the project or not. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson expressed concern with spending money on additional phases of <br />the Ak'port ]',haster Plan prior to obtaining a consensus of the Council membership effective <br /> " ,~ n,.th,., or not to develop Gateway AL-pon. <br />Ja_num?, !989, re~armn~ "o ~ . <br /> <br />~'Lr.
