Mr. lppel stated that after working on a project for a long <br />period of time, it is easy to get too close to the project and forget that <br />other people have not had the same availability of information. '!he Airport <br />Cbmmission has tried to keep the people informed and answer every question <br />each step of the way through public meetings and open houses. What is being <br />proposed in the Airport Master Plan will meet all FAA, Mn/DoT and Metro <br />Council criteria; technically, the facility qualifies for funding with some <br />concerns. One of those concerns being the landfill. Ramsey doesn't have any <br />other type of draw to make it competitive with other ccmnunities; this airport <br />facility could attract business and employment. '!here have already been <br />businesses locating in Ramsey betting on the come that the airport will be <br />improved; there have been businesses that did not locate at Ramsey because <br />there was not a firm commitment at Gateway. '!he City is getting to that point <br />in time where a decision has to be made regarding the best that can be done at <br />that site, considering all the positives and detriments. <br /> <br />Mr. Dick Sieber pointed out that the Airport Conmission does not have the <br />authority to make the decision; the Comnission's task is to study the <br />situation and make a recomnendation to City Council; Council makes the final <br />decision. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />M:>tion ~ Cbmmissioner Erickson and seconded ~ Cbmmissioner Stauffer to <br />adjourn this meeting of the Airport Cbmmission. <br /> <br />lot:>tion carried.
