HomeMy WebLinkAbout#05 - Appointment to Joint Airport Zoning BoardSTAFF REPORT
DATE: November 20, 2018
CONSENT
AGENDA ITEM: Appointments to Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB)
SUBMITTED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
The city has received notice from the Metropolitan Airports Commission that they will be creating
a Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB) for the Lake Elmo Airport as provided in state statute. They
are requesting two representatives from each affected community to participate in the JAZB.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Who should Council appoint to the JAZB?
PROPOSAL:
In talking with other communities, they are leaning towards appointing a combination of elected
and staff members to the JAZB. The city also has the option not to participate in the process. Staff
would recommend against that given the proximity of the airport to the city.
I would recommend Council member Bloyer and Planning Director Roberts be appointed as the
two Lake Elmo representatives.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NA
OPTIONS:
1) Appoint Council Member Bloyer and Director Roberts to the JAZB
2) Appoint two different individuals to the JAZB
3) Do not participate in the JAZB
RECOMMENDATION:
If removed from the consent agenda:
“Motion to appoint Council Member Bloyer and Director Roberts to the JAZB.”
