FOR THE LAKE ELMO AIRPORT
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) has proposed the establishment of a
Joint Airport Zoning Board (JABZ) for the Lake Elmo Airport; and
WHEREAS, the MAC has invited the City of Lake Elmo to participate on the JABZ; and
WHEREAS, Section 360.063 of Minnesota Statutes addresses joint airport zoning boards and
indicates, among other things, that while a city's participation on such a board is
optional, the city will be subject to the actions of the board; and
WHEREAS, the City Council prefers to participate in organizations that may affect its land use
authority;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo that it
hereby authorizes the City's participation on the Joint Airport Zoning Board for the Lake Elmo
Airport;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in participating on the JABZ, the City Council expects that the
MAC will provide indemnification to the City from claims based upon the City's adoption of more
restrictive zoning standards which could have an adverse impact on property values within hazard
zone areas;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, subsequent to the adoption of this Resolution, the City
Council will endeavor as quickly as it is able to appoint two representatives to serve on the JABZ.
