ALSO PRESENT: City Attorney Meyers and Acting Clerk/ Administrator Minetor. Motion/Second: Wuori/Blanchard to approve the July 23, 1990 minutes as presented. 4 ayes 0 nays David Sayer, of the Anoka Technical College, explained they are proposing changes in the way they deliver aviation managecr'rent programs and are planning to use the disabled tower at the Anoka County Airport for instruction and simulation for students. He stressed they would in no way be involved in the air traffic at the airport, and that their program teaches air traffic control. Liability coverage is beyond their means, and students will not be dealing with any actual aircraft. They will work with MAC and the City of Blaine, and will be a business tenant, not an aviation tenant. Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, questioned why they chose the Anoka airport and not another one. Mr. Sayer explained they would like a more central- ized location, but this is the closest airport to the school. They have looked at other sites away from the airport, but did not find anything that fit into their budget. 1. Call to Order. 2. Pledge of Allegiance 3. Roll Call 4.

Councilmember Paone joined the meeting at 7:16 PM. Mr. Sayer again pointed out they will not be involved with flying in any way and cannot afford the liability insurance. They will have nothing to do with the operation of the airport other than to be an .impartial tenant. Mr. McCarty questioned whether federal grants would be used to upgrade the airport or systems in any manner. Mr..Sayer replied nothing that would have to do with flying, as their connection to the FAA is academic. Mayor Hankber explained the Council would be taking no action tonight, and this was an effort to get the citizens aware of proposed changes. Linda Bauman, 2317 Sherwood Road and Nancy Lindquist, ~ • 232`5 Sherwood Road, stated there are a lot of traffic problems along their road, with heavy, fast traffic, with one individual in particular who has lost his license four times but still continues to drive. Ms. Lundquist questioned why he was allowed to continue driving, and stated they would like to see increased monitoring by the police, use of radar and speed bumps. She also noted when neighbors have complained about the one individual, he has retaliated against them. ~*. Mayor Hankner explained the Council will be address- ing the size of the police force during the budgeting process. Lt. Brick stated he had looked into the matter. In order to get an individual in court, a citizens arrest is needed if there is not an officer present to observe the violation. He added it would be helpful if time patterns could be established, as they cannot have a squad car there at all times. Mayor Hankner noted her neighborhood had had a pro- blem in the past and the neighbors got together and took license numbers and called them in. Ms. Lundquist presented a petition to the Council, signed by area residents, requesting assistance from the Council in addressing the problem. 6.
