The following people spoke in response to an article in the Daily Inter Lake regarding the city aiKpo • Scott Davis, 448 5th Avenue West, said he noted the airport budget includes expansion plans and another study grant. He reminded the council that residents and taxpayers of the city do not want to expand the airport any further, and he wants council to announce there will be no more action taken to expand the runway now or in the future. Kalispell City Council Minutes June 21, 2010 Page 1 Joanne Blake, 910 7th Avenue West, stated she was shocked to hear the airport was in line for a grant to update the master plan and she doesn't think the council listens to "ordinary people". Tim Wise, 2097 Airport Road, remarked he thought expanding the airport was a dead issue until he read the Daily Inter Lake article. He said he doesn't want the expansion and his family has no intention of selling their land. Phillip Guiffrida, 1506 Greendale Court, commented it is not necessary to expand the airport and asked the council to bring it to a public vote. Isabelle Mattson, 425 5th Avenue East, remarked she is against any expansion and noted she sent a letter a few months ago, but she never received a response. Fred Hammel, 505 7th Avenue West, commented that everybody in the room lives in the airport affected area and once this expansion passes, no one will have the right to complain about it. He also complained that every city employee has health care and a lot of benefits, but the private sector doesn't. Steve Eckels, 20 White Bark Lane, stated a study would be an exercise in futility, noting there is a conflict of interest with the engineering company. He suggested that the aviation association pay for a study rather than the general public. Carl Feig, Forest Hills Village, said he has been concerned with the airport since 1993 and many others share his concerns. He suggested a list of other uses for the airport property, including a community center, a convention center, or a YMCA/YWCA. Pauline Sjordahl, 234 3rd Avenue West, asked that the airport expansion be put to bed for good and to stop talking about it. 1 ORDINANCE ! !
