In addition,at the meeting <br /> concerns about the proposed update to the comprehensive plan and the recommended <br /> improvements to the Airport should be discussed to determine whether any of the proposed <br /> improvements would, in fact,violate the Order or state law and how such improvements would <br /> impact on the noise abatement issues at the Airport. <br /> As my phone Dail indicated to <br /> You, I believe it would be the best interests of MAC and the City <br /> of Mounds View to have MAC officials in attendance at the October 14th meeting. Pled feel <br /> free to tall me if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> \\7 <br /> Robert C.
