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 rise, 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 Creendale 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 Bast, 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 'Nest, 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 Lckels, 20 white Barb Dane, 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 1-Tills 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 YMCAIYWCA.
Pauline S j ordahl, 234 3rd Avenue west, asked that the airport expansion be put to bed for good and
to stop talking about it.
