Untitled (10)Teresa, Please make sure every member of the council receives a copy of
this public letter
Dear Mayor and City Council Members;
I requested the Council to review and consider the merits of the
F.A.A. grant study. It's to my understanding that the council members
that voted for the F.A.A. grant study will not consider reevaluating or
reconsider such a vote. Being a resident and tax payer of this city I'm
deeply sadden by such behavior and waist of our money. It also disturbs
me that acknowledgement of this request was not even addressed. Many
resident of this city are not pleased with your actions. And hopefully
at election time these actions of yours will be noted.
Now many of the residents of Kalispell want you our council to
address the noise issue of Red Eagle Aviation out at OUR city owned and
operated public airport. The Kalispell Police department refuses to act
on any and all noise complaints coming from the City airport, the F.A.A.
states that it is a City Issue and that we must remove the irritant. The
residents of kalispell are not upset with the local pilots and out of
town visitors (if any) that use our publicly owned airport. But the main
problem is the lack of foresight of the past council to allow a aviation
training facility to operate out of and over our city and residents. The
continual landings and taking offs are a public nuisance and noise
irritant of residents and local business operators. And we the residents
want you the Council to put a stop to it. As we are aware that the lease
agreement is not valid and is not legal. Please set this up for Council
and Public discussion, you do not need a F.A.A. grant study to do this.
I feel if the City of Kalispell wants to have an airport within
it's city limits, any repetitious landing and take offs as Red Eagle
Aviation does should be denied if the airport wants to remain at it's
present location. F.A.A. has advised Red Eagle to fly neighborly and
showed them a exit corridor to fly, but they do not comply, and our
airport manager has not been successful in getting them to comply. So we
feel that they have been given enough opportunity to cooperate and are
unwilling to do so. We would like the city council to make arrangement
to start removing them for our city property. This issue with Red Eagle
Aviation has been going on for a few years now. The residents of
Kalispell have had enough.
Public acknowledgement and response of this letter is expected.
