Finally, in some cases airports cross <br />multiple municipal jurisdictions. Neither <br />state law nor Minnesota Rules provide <br />powers for joint airport zoning boards. <br />These boards could be useful in resolving <br />interjurisdictional issues involving airport <br />planning, development, funding and zoning. <br />Response: The League of Minnesota <br />Cities supports efforts to protect the <br />safety and property of people living and <br />working near public airports. The League <br />also recognizes that the Minnesota Rules <br />related to public airport zoning standards <br />exceed the FAA's and other states' <br />standards and, thus, needlessly infringe <br />on local control. The League supports <br />changes to Minnesota Rules pertaining to <br />airport zoning standards that will more <br />closely align Minnesota's Rules with those <br />in other states, while at the same time <br />retaining local authority to be more <br />restrictive than the Minnesota Rules. The <br />League also supports changes to <br />Minnesota Statutes and Minnesota Rules <br />that would authorize powers for joint <br />airport zoning boards so issues related to <br />funding, staffing, and authority to enforce <br />ordinances can be resolved at the local <br />level. <br />League of Minnesota Cities <br />2018 City Policies Page 80 <br />
