We had a public hearing before we got started on the Master Plan Study in 1998 where
public input was solicited. We had two public hearings during the development of the
Master Plan Study to make sure we were on the right course and we asked for public
input. After the Master Plan Study was completed we had a formal hearing before the
City Council where public input was solicited.

1999. iesolution 4518 is attached as that document.
I only present this to you so that you might understand the comments that could come
from several council members and members of the public. We went through this same
process more than 10 years ago and came to the conclusions attached. When this
decision was made, the $1 Million dollars set aside for the airport was used to start the
current project. I remain optimistic that we can do it again I I years later. I hope the
FAA will stand by us.
