Commission requested State funding participation in a less elaborate form of a <br />study. The State's reply was that numerous studies have been done in Ramsey <br />and they would like to see and would support a study to settle the issue once <br />and for all. If Ramsey goes with a Master Plan, the State will participate by <br />80% rather than 50-60% on a lesser study. This Master Plan would, if the decision <br />is to go ahead with an airport, qualify Ramsey for additional State and Federal <br />funds; at the time we decide to go ahead with the airport, if we do, this Master <br />Plan would be required anyway. The Airport Commission wants: 1. To see good <br />answers to the question 'Can it be done?' 2. To be able to involve the citizens <br />of Ramsey. The State is encouraging us' to go ahead with the Master Plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Reimann - Are we getting encouragement from the State because of <br />the current situation in Blaine? <br /> <br />Mr. Ippel - Ramsey's airport does not come anywhere near what is projected for <br />Anoka County. Ramsey's site is too limiting. <br /> <br />Mr. Koshak - Hakanson/Anderson Associates - Work on this Master Plan can be <br />stopped if there is mutual agreement between the City and the State. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec - The airport issue keeps coming up and we never see any positive <br />facts; I support this study to finally make a decision on the airport issue. <br />There is a lot of land and landowners affected, and I would like this study <br />as background to my decision. <br /> <br />Councilmember Sorteberg inquired as to the Airport Commission's response to <br />the Master Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Ippel replied that there was not a full commission present, but the motion <br />passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Mr. Ippel also pointed out that in his discussions with the State and Metro <br />Council, Burke and Associates (subcontractor for the study) come very highly <br />recommended. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Reimann and seconded by Councilmember Schlueter to <br />adopt Resolution #84-2 to approve preparation of an Airport Master Plan and <br />requesting State grant assistance for that plan. (Please refer to resolution <br />file for Resolution #84-2). <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Reimann, Schlueter, <br />Sorteberg.

It is further directed that the City Accounting Department be furnished <br />a copy of this Council action and that a copy of the motion be placed in <br />Mrs. Johnson's personnel file.
