IV. OLD BUSINESS
A. Discussion with Representatives of MAC and the FAA— Per the direction of the Commission at
the June 10 ARC meeting, correspondence was sent to Chad Leqve, Manager of the Aviation Noise and
Satellite Programs to address noncompliance within the Corridor. Mr. Leqve responded to the City and
suggested that he and Cindy Greene, MSP FAA Air Traffic Control Tower Operations Support Manager,
attend the Commission's September 9, 2003 ARC meeting to further discuss the deviation and answer any
question the Commission may have.
Enclosed on pages through is the memo that was sent to Mr. Leqve and Ms. Greene, which
includes questions and issues that the Commission would like to discuss at the September 9 meeting. As
noted in the memo, the list of questions /issues was prepared in order to serve as a discussion guide.
Given the many issues that the Commission would like to discuss, the agenda is purposely brief in order to
dedicate the majority of the meeting towards discussions with Mr. Leqve and Ms. Greene.
For the Commission's reference during discussions with Mr. Leqve and Ms. Greene, attached on pages _
through is the July 2003 Eagan/Mendota Heights Departure Corridor Analysis. Also enclosed, on
pages through , is the July 2003 Technical Advisory Report. The July reports are the most recent
reports available from the MAC. At the time the packet was prepared, the 2002 v. 2003 Operations

reports be posted prior to the ARC meeting.
