Mr. Mueller stated that he would be more <br />than happy to work with the Engineer on the drainage issue. Mueller also <br />commented that the helicopter landing pad is something for the future. <br />Mrs. Nardini asked if MN DOT had any objections to the helicopter landing <br />pad. Mr. Mueller replied that they did not and wondered why the company <br />had not done this years ago. <br />Mr. Forsberg commented that the reason he is opposed to this proposal is <br />6ecause of the helicopter landing pad. Forsberg felt this was a poor <br />location for it. <br />Mrs. Scalze commented that the City of Maplewood has not had time to review <br />this proposal. <br />Mr. Mueller informed the Council that the company has contracted with <br />Ramsey Nospital, Northwestern and the U of M for transporting patients. <br />The company does not answer accident calls. This is a specialized field <br />of patient transporting. <br />Mrs. Nardini stated that the company a1so transports technicians and <br />equipment that each hospital cannot afford to own. <br />Mrs. Scalze stated that she understood Mr. Forsberg's concerns about the <br />helicopter. <br />Mr. forsberg stated that he was concerned about the noise that would be <br />caused. Mr. Mueller replied that Ramsey Hospital has a helicopter pad <br />and there are alot of peop1e living in the area. <br />Mrs. Nardini stated that it was her understanding that the helicopter would <br />come in from the direction of the highway and this would take a lot of the <br />noise. <br />Mr. Fahey stated that he would like to have comments from the City Engineer <br />and City of Map7ewood on this before he takes action. <br />Mr. Fahey asked the Engineer if he could give an opinion on the drainage <br />issue by the next Council meeting.
