As you are fully aware, the aforestated accomplishments represent <br />a substantial investment on the part of the City of Ramsey in time as well as <br />dollars. <br /> <br />Recently, the Metropolitan Airports Commission has undergone an investigation as <br />to the need for reliever airports within our region. I understand that the Gateway <br />North Industrial Airport is one of the reliever airports that 5{AC may consider <br />either acquiring or participating in the acquisition of in an effort to secure the <br />needed capacity in reliever airports for our region. <br /> <br />My concern is that the City of Ramsey be given a prompt and clear response by <br />the Metropolitan Airports Commission with regard to MAC's intentions to acquire <br />or participate in the acquisition of the Gateway North Industrial Airport. There <br />are several public policy issues that are related to this airport that may hinge <br />upon the actions of the Metropolitan Airports Commission and any delays only <br />serve to frustrate and confuse the process. <br /> <br />Thank you for your attention and consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />NHS:pm <br /> <br />cc: Ro .r~Oerich <br /> u/JaCk Ippel <br /> <br />Natalie Haas Steffen <br />Anoka County Commissioner <br /> <br /> <br />
