Through discussions at the meeting, it was determined that Representative Hansen would carry the legislation drafted by the cities that add four seats to the MAC, which represent the four communities located within the 65 DNL contours. Likewise, there was a general discussion about legislation involving the aviation system at MSP. The City of Minneapolis, through their legislators, plan to introduce legislation calling for a statewide aviation system, with the goals being to: spread the number of operations statewide, as opposed to concentrating almost all operations at MSP; improving cargo operations/transportation at MSP, increasing airline competition, etc. Assistant to the City Administrator Miller and Commissioner Aljets can provide a further update regarding this meeting at the ARC January meeting.
