Chairman <br />Ippel stated that Council decided to set up an airport commission with the <br />intent of looking at the feasibility of taking Gateway North Industrial Airport <br />and making it into a municipal facility. This Airport Commission was formed by <br />Council resolution and consists of 9 members. When the Commission began meeting, <br />we found there were many questions and nobody was able to give much in the way of <br />answers. Representatives from Mn/DoT were able to answer some of our questions <br />and they suggested we develop and prepare an Airport Master Plan. We then <br />received a proposal from Hakanson/Anderson for an Airport Master Plan; we obtained <br />City and State approval for the study; State participation in ~he cost of the <br />study is 80% and City participation in the cost is 20%. This study is aimed at <br />getting some answers to our questions so that at some point in time we as a <br />commission can make a recom~ndation to Council on what we feel would be the <br />way to go; the study also gives council information that they need to make a <br />decision based on facts. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel then read Resolution #83-165 defining the Airport Commission and <br />it's task. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel stated that the Commission is looking at taking the airport as it <br />now exists -- publicly used and privately owned -- and making it a municipal <br />facility. <br /> <br />Chairman Ippel then read excerpts from "A Study Of The Socio-Economic Impact <br /> <br />AP/May 16, 1984 <br />Public Meetina <br /> <br /> <br />
