• MASAC also provides information regarding zoning proposals and other land use <br /> regulations which keep future residential developments from noise sensitive areas and which <br /> offer alternatives for more compatible land uses. In addition, national and worldwide noise <br /> abatement programs are presented and discussed with city governments and civic groups in order <br /> to provide the public with a wide range of possibilities for reducing the noise in their <br /> communities. <br /> The MASAC board is composed of twenty-six members, divided equally between <br /> representatives from the aviation industry, or"user"groups, and private citizens form the <br /> "public" group. The user group includes eight representatives from airlines serving the <br /> Minneapolis/St. Paul airport and one representative from each of the following: <br /> The Minnesota Business Aircraft Association,the Air Line Pilots Association, the MAC, the St. <br /> Paul Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. <br /> The public group is made up of four representatives from Minneapolis, three from St. <br /> Paul, as well as representatives from Richfield, Bloomington,Mendota Heights, Eagan, <br /> Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights, Sunfish Lake and St. Louis Park. The number of <br /> representatives from each city is based on population and the size of the area affected by aircraft <br /> noise. Industry representatives are appointed by agencies, corporations, associations,and <br /> governmental bodies which have a direct interest in the operation of the MSP airport. The public <br /> representatives are appointed by their local governments. <br /> Over the years,many dedicated individuals have served on the MASAC board and each <br /> has contributed significantly to its development. <br />
