I I I Commission requested State funding participation in a less elabora2e form of a study. ~e State's reply was that numerous studies have been done in Ramsey and they would like to see and would support a study to settle the issue once and for all. If Ramsey goes with a Master Plan, the State will participate by 80% rather than 50-60% on a lesser study. This Master Plan would, if the decision is to go ahead with an airport, qualify Ramsey for additional State and Federal funds; at the time we decide to go ahead with the airport, if we do, this Master Plan would be required anyway. The Airport Commission wants: 1. To see good answers to the question 'Can it be done?' 2. To be able to involve the citizens of Ramsey. The State is encouraging us to go ahead with the Master Plan. Councilmember Reimann - Are we getting encouragement from the State because of the current situation in Blaine? Mr. Ippel - Ramsey's airport does not come anywhere near what is projected for Anoka County. Ramsey's site is too limiting. Mr. Koshak - Hakanson/Anderson Associates - Work on this Master Plan can be stopped if there is mutual agreement between the City and the State. I I I I I Mayor Gamec - The airport issue keeps coming up and we never see any positive facts; I support this study to finally make a decision on the airport issue. There is a lot of land and landowners affected, and I would like this study as background to my decision. Councilmember Sorteberg inquired as to the Airport Commission's response to the Master Plan. Mr. Ippel replied that there was not a full commission present, but the motion passed unanimously. Mr. Ippel also pointed out that in his discussions with the State and Metro council, Burke and Associates (subcontractor for the study) come very highly recommended. Motion by Councilmember Reimann and seconded by Councilmember Schlueter to adopt Resolution #84-2 to approve preparation of an Airport Master Plan and requesting State grant assistance for that plan.
