COUNCIL MINUTES March 23, 2009 DRAFT • 91 issue that really isn't out there. He recognizes that there is concern about noise but safety is also 92 a concern. He doesn't know that the city has enough information to have an opinion on this. 93 This is more of a county than city issue and there is not clear support at the county level. 94 95 A council member responded that the issue is that the council has received information that a 96 runway expansion may be proposed. The impact of an expansion (to 6,000 foot runway) would 97 be piston engine planes to jet engine planes utilizing the facility and they would be noisier and 98 cause more intrusion to the vicinity. The city should weigh in even though it is a county issue 99 because it could ultimately have an impact on the citizens of Lino Lakes. Although it is reported 100 that there isn't any activity per see on the expansion effort, the company that uses the airport has 101 hired a lobbyist. It doesn't hurt to be up front. 102 103 Motion to approve Resolution No. 09 -19 as amended carried on a voice vote.
