REPORTS <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney commented on his attendance at the National Night Out events and <br />appreciation for resident’s interest in that event. <br /> <br />With regard to noise and low-flying aircraft complaints on the Anoka County Airport, Council <br />Member Stigney requested residents call Jack Eberlein of MAC Operations at 612-726-5111. He <br />advised that the control tower does not log any complaints. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin stated it is actually a federal offense to interfere with the operations of the <br />control tower so multiple telephone calls to the control tower could result in a problem.
