The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. The following members Vvere present: Beaty, Fitzer, Leuman, Stein and May. Commissioner Des Roches was absent. Commissioner May moved approval of the December 7 0, 1997 and January 14, 1998 meeting minutes. Commissioner Leuman seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 DISCUSSION OF METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AIR NOISE ZONES/L.AND USE Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that he had received a phone call from a reporter who had recently written an article in the Eagan this Week Newspaper regarding the City of Eagan's letter to the Metropolitan Council. Batchelder stated that the City of Eagan is concerned about residential development in the "corridor" and wrote a letter to the Met Council in support of the new Aviation Guidelines. Batchelder stated that the reporter was interested in writing about the City of Mendota Heights, in particular, the City's opinion regarding the City of Eagan's concerns with residential development in the corridor and their support of the.new Aviation Guidelines. Batchelder explained that he informed the reporter that the City of Mendota Heights sees this issue differently than the City of Eagan. Batchelder stated that he informed the reporter that the City of Mendota Heights is the only city that adopted the previous Met Council noise zones �� and guidelines and that Mendota Heights was the only city to adopt a Noise AlRPORT RELATIONS COMM/SS/ON MINUTES - FEBRUARY 11, 1998 � Attenuation Ordinance. He stated that all residential areas in Mendota .� Heights were in conformance with the aviation guidelines and their previous projections of air noise and air traffic. Batchelder stated that he informed the reporter that the new Met Council guidelines and contours for air noise are unacceptable because: 1. They entrench existing air traffic patterns that have overwhelmed the original intent of the carridor; and 2. Acceptance of the old Met Council guidelines and the new guidelines will only mean ever increasing levels of air traffic in Mendota Heights; � and 3. The contours do not take into account the proposed disfiribution of air traffic to a new north/south runway and a potential decrease in traffic over Mendota Heights; and 4. The contours may contain numerous technical errors; and 5. The general guidelines could be effective and equitable as a land planning tool only if all municipalities around the airport adapt them. Commissioner May inquired about Hoffman Homes' position regarding Met Council's change in Noise Zones and Land Use Guidelines. Batchelder responded that the City, in December, sent a letter to Hoffman Homes. He � stated that he had recently spoken with Hoffman Homes and that they will be meeting with the Mayor and staff on Thursday, February 12, 1998. Chair Beaty inquired how the City of Eagan has been able to regulate their land use. Batchelder responded that they have been very strict in regulating their zoning. Beaty stated that he is concerned that the City of Eagan will create political pressure in forcing air noise further south. Commissioner May inquired if the Met Council has the sole discretion with defining the air noise corridor. Batchelder responded that the Met Council, to some extent, have the authority. He briefly explained the Met Council's role in planning systems, including transportation systems, with the metropolitan area. Commissioner May stated that the City has developed many neighborhoods, in particular Bridgeview Shores, based on Met Council guidelines. He stated that the City has cooperated with the Met Council and now we are being penalized. He stated the new guidelines make current developments incompatible land uses. He stated that City needs to say "hold it". Beaty stated that it will be interesting when City residents find out that they are _- living in incompatible land use developments. He stated that residents will � AIRPORT RELAT/ONS COMMISS/ON M/NUTES - FEBRUARY 91, 1998 Z � be upset because their property values will depreciate. Batchelder stated that homes are currently selling in these areas. Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that Mayor Mertensotto has requested the Airport Relations Commission to discuss and provide Council with some guidance for discussions with the Met Council regarding Noise Zones and Land Use Guidelines. The following list was reviewed: 1. Mendota Heights is the only city that adopted the previous Met Council noise zones and guidelines and is the only city to adopt a � Noise Attenuation Ordinance. All residential areas in Mendota Heights were in conformance with the aviation guidelines and their previous projections of air noise and air traffic. 2. Because the Preferential Runway Use system relies on "land compatibility" as a guiding principle for heavy use of the Mendota Heights - Eagan corridor, greater volumes of traffic and heavier percentages of aircraft traffic now depart in our direction. This has increased the size of the air noise- contours, and as a result, the size of the Metropolitan Council's noise zones have increased beyond any projections and into residential areas long considered compatible. 3. Adopting the previous air naise guidelines and air noise zones has worked against Mendota Heights by implying acceptance of unlimited aircraft traffic. 4. The southeast corridor has not confined aircraft to compatible land use areas, but has given license to the airport operators to send ever increasing air traffic over Mendota Heights. This ever increasing amount of traffic cannot physically or operationally be confined to the corridor and, in fact, constantly spills over into incampatible land use areas. 5. Acceptance of the corridor by Mendota Heights has been interpreted and used by MAC as acceptance of an unlimited volume of air traffic in our direction - whether or not it fits within the acceptable parameters and use of the corridor. 6. The arbitrarily and illegally imposed southern boundary to the corridor has forced the ever increasing volumes of air traffic to the north into residential areas in order to physically accommodate the increasing volume of traffic. A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - FEBRUARY 11, 9998 3 7. Thus, ever increasing numbers of overflights are the direct cause of � the increasing area of the noise contours and, thus, the expansion of the Metropolitan Council's noise zone areas into previously compatible residential areas. 8. MAC policies to control or confine the air noise are not effective because there is no enforcement. Air traffic often do not follow the procedures and fly the pattern most expeditious to their destination. 9. The new LDN 65 contour has jumped from west of Lexington Avenue (1987) to east of Dodd Road (1997) because of the increase in � operations and the increase in the use of the southeast corridor, thereby further increasing the encroachment into residential areas. MAC's decision to ignore the Preferential Runway Use Systems guidelines for the Runway 4/22 have only exacerbated this problem. 10. A stated plan of the airport is to grow and accommodate more traffic. New technology will expand the ability of the airport to greater volumes. Noise will only continue to increase and expand because mitigation efforts cannot offset the increase in volume. 1 1. Northwest Airlines Stage 3 fleet consists of the highest level of �� hushkitted DC9's, which are technically Stage 3, but are still much noisier than new Stage 3. Because of NWA's dominance of this airport, MSP will not enjoy the full benefit of the intent to reduce noise through Stage 3 compliance for many years into the 21 st century. 12. Accepfiance of the corridor by Mendota Heights and Eagan and anticipated outcomes stated to "sell" the corridoc to these cities did not include license to put unlimited volumes of traffic into the corridor. Again, the Preferential Runway Use system anticipated that Runway 4/22 would be used to equitably distribute aircraft traffic around the airport. Because this has not been done, the brunt of increased operations has been placed into the southeast corridor. 13. Increased volumes of traffic within the corridor to current levels make it physically impossible for it to function as proposed and projected, with aircraft continually spilling over into residential areas that have never previously experienced air noise. Continued use of the corridor in this fashion makes the corridor un-functional for its stated purpose, obsolete, and unacceptable to Mendota Heights. C. A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SSION M/NUTES - FFBRUARY 9 9, 7998 4 , 14. The new Met Council guidelines and contours for air noise are unacceptable for the following reasons: * They entrench existing air traffic patterns that have overwhelmed the original intent of the corridor; and * Acceptance of the old Met Council guidelines and presumably the new guidelines will only mean ever increasing levels of air traffic in Mendota Heights; and �* The contours do not take into account the proposed distribution of air traffic to a new north/south runway and a potential decrease in traffic over Mendota Heights; and * The contours may contain numerous technical errors; and �' The general guidelines could be effective and equitable as a land planning tool only if all municipalities around the airporfi adopt them. 15. Air noise will continue to grow worse at MSP as traffic increases. Any remedies to give relief to surroundings cities will not and cannot effectively keep up with the effects of this increased volume and noise pollution. 16. The federal Part 150 Sound Insulation Program is not available to many homes that are now in the new Met Council noise zones. They are considered an inconsistent land use, but no recognized noise program is available for mitigation. The Commission reviewed the above items and briefly discussed the importance of several issues, specifically items 1,2,5 and 12. Commissioner May moved to recommend that the City Council consider using items 1-16 of the February 9, 1998 memo from Administrator Batchelder as actual facts regarding Mendota Heights position on the Metropolitan Council's new noise zones and policy guidelines. Commissioner Fitzer seconded the motion. AYES:. 5 NAYS: 0 The Commission discussed how the City's position has always been equitable air noise distribution. The Commission discussed how the Met Council appears to not be treating the City fairly in that the City of Mendota Heights was the only City to adopt a Noise Attenuation Ordinance and that A/RPORT RELATlONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - FEBRUARY 11, 1998 �J all residential areas in the City were in conformance with the aviation � guidelines and their previous projections of air noise and air traffic. The Commission felt that the media shauld be made aware of this unfair situation. DISCUSSION OF NDCARC - DRAFT OF COLLABORATIVE ISSUES Administrator Batchelder explained that at a recent NDCARC meeting, the original list of collaborative issues was discussed by the member cities and revised for consideration by each individual city. Batchelder explained that eacfi individual city is to identify five top priorities on the basis of commonality and our ability to impact their outcome. Please see below: 1. Monitor and Study the Consequences of the "Close-In" vs. "Distant" Departure Procedures over Minneapolis. 2. Further Nighttime Restrictions on Aircraft Operations. 3. Monitor and Study Compliance with Non-Simultaneous Departure Procedures. 4. Review Effectiveness and Consider Expansion of MAC Aircraft Noise � Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS). 5. Composition of MAC Body - Accountability Issues. 6. Corridor Definition/Compliance (ssues. 7. Equitable Runway Use - Use of Runway 4/22. 8. Noise measurement Issues - Encourage Use of Contours and Measurements in Addition to 65. 9. Runway Construction Issues. 10. Encourage Conversion from Hushkit Stage III to Factory Stage III. 1 1. Advocate for Environmental Assessments for Incremental Growth in Noise Impacts. The Commission discussed the above items. C A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - FEBRUARY 11, 9998 6 �� Commissioner May moved to recommend that the City Council consider items 1,5,7,3 and 6 as the City's top five NDCARC collaborative issues. Commissioner Stein seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 RUNWAY RECONSTRUCTION Chair Beaty inquired how the runway reconstruction will affect non- simultaneous departures. Administrator Batchelder stated that MSP operations will continue to use the south parallel runway and that smaller aircraft will use Runway 12R. He explained that large body aircraft, such as 747's, will use Runway 4-22. In response to a question from Chair Beaty, Administrator Batchelder stated that the emphasis should be placed on issuing centerline headings. UPDATES INITIAL DISCUSSIONS OIV MONITORIIVG NOIV-SIMULTANEOUS DEPARTURES Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that this item will be before the MASAC within a few months. Batchelder stated that this issue should be pursued especially with the runway construction this summer. Chair Beaty stated that the City should inform the MAC that during construction, there will be 12 more additional flights and that whenever possible, centerline headings should be enforced. Administrator Batchelder stated that staff could send a letter to MAC regarding this issue. _ � . � � � � . �.. The Commission discussed that later in the month of April would work best for this tour. It was determined that Tuesday nights and weekends are difficult times to meet. Staff will schedule a tour.

The Metropolitan Council's staff opinion that was expressed in two recent letters is based on a flawed concept of land use compatibility that does not reflect the inequitable airport operation procedures currently being used at MSP International Airport. (Please refer to attached correspondence from Mr. Craig Rapp dated December 24, 1998 and from Mr. Tom McElveen dated January 30, 1998.) The Metropolitan Council's Aviation Guide Plan, and the Noise Area Policy Contours adopted in the Aviation Guide Plan, are flawed because the Preferential Runtivay Use System (PRUS), wha-ch establishes land use compatibility as the "preferred" priority for depaz-tures, is not being followed to provide equitable distribution of aircraft traffic around MSP. Therefore, the noise contours on the southeast corridor reflect the inequitable use of the corridor and punish Mendota Heights by eYpandin� regionai land use reaulations over areas never before projected or considered by any of the regional or local planning agencies involved. Mendota Heights cannot continue to accept the concept of Iand use compatibility when all it does is provide the Metropolitan Airport Commission (M�.C) with a license to continue to increase the number of operations over our residential neiahborhoods and to e;cpand the size of the corridor beyond the orijinal intent of the corridor. Therefore, the Mendota HeiQhts City Council has unanimoiisly directed me to notify the Metropolitan Council that the establishment of the Noise Area Policy Contours is arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable. The City of Mendota Heights cannot stand by and allow another governmental agency to take over the planning of our community and incorporate an ever e;cpanding concept oF a"land use compatible" noise corridor in our community. Unless the Metropolitan Council is willinv to ne�otiate a more fle�ible position in respect to the Aviation Guide Plan, the City of Nlendota Hei�hts will be at odds with the Metropolitan Council over the development of our Comprehensive Plan. " 1101 Victoria Curve •�endota k-�eights, 1�,N • 55118 452 • 1850 Mr. Curt Johnson February 18, 1998 Page 2 It is our opinion that the Metropolitan Council's Aviation Guide Plan is flawed and only works to incorporate the current inequitable operation of the MSP airport. This serves only to e:cpand the southeast corridor to an unprecedented size that was never intended, or imagined, when the original concept of land use compatibility was sold to the MSP communities. The new Metropolitan Council noise zones now incorporate residential neighborhoods, that have always been considered outside the southeast corridor and cornpatible �vith the airport operations. The Metropolitan Council's action is to place these neighborhoods into an "inconsistent" status. This action raises serious concerns about neighborhood sta.bility and viability in the southern portion of our community. We formally request an opportunity to meet with the Metropolitan Council to confirm why your agency is requiring strict adherence, with no deviations, to the Aviation Guide Plan.

As you are aware, in 1997 the FAA Tower adopted a new Tower Order as a noise abatement procedure to be implemented as follows: Whenever possible, under non-simultaneous conditions: Aircraft departing Runway 12R will be assi�ned a heading to maintain an appro�mate ground track of 1.05 ° magnetic (M), and � Aircraft departing Runway 12L will be assigned a heading to maintain a ground track along the extended centerline, approximately 118 ° M. Specifically, Mendota Heights would like to monitor and collect data on flights that comply with these prescribed procedures and flights that deviate from these prescribed procedures. There aze many examples when late evening, or early morning, flights are not flying runway centerline headings from Runway 12L during periods of the day, or night, that are obviously non- simultaneous conditions. The FAA implemented the procedure at the request of the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the City of Mendota Heights to provide a relatively simple noise abatement procedure to benefit residents in close proximity to MSP International Airport. The data collected would be relevant to determining the compliance by the traffic controllers and the airline users, as well as, tlie effectiveness of the new procedure. � '`. � e: r NIr. Robert Johnson February 27, 1998 Page two The City of Mendota Heights appreciates your consideration of our request, and we are ready to offer any assistance that we may.

He said the day before staff had received a draft copy of the signature line of the MOA `and that MAC had signed its portion. He said the regional FAA office had approved it and that it was now in Washington for final approval. He noted that since Jeff Hamiel and Nigel Finney were to be in Washington the following week, he would ask them to try to move it along as fast as possible. Mr. Fuhrmann said that staff was ready to accept data and that there may be a January 1998 Technical Advisor's Report for the March 2, 1998 meeting. John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if staff was planning to give MASAC representatives all �- the missing TA reports at one time and when could that be done. Mr. Fuhrmann said the information would be given to representatives all at once, probably at the April meeting. He. noted that Chad Leqve and Shane VanderVoort were working with the new system to find any potential problems before the data becomes available so that any problems can be fixed well before the reports are run. He also noted that staff was considering putting the TA reports on the Aviation Noise Programs website. Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, asked if it would be helpful for staff to mail the TA reports, as they become available, to representatives in their monthly mailing. This way members would have time to review the information before the April meeting. Chairman Salmen said he thought it would be a good idea. John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if in the future with the new system, the TA reports could be mailed with the monthly package. Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, said he would like to make that happen if the data is available before the mailing. CONTOUR GENERATION BRIEFING - FORMAT AND DATES Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, said he planned to ask Evan Futterman of HNTB to make a presentation at the April 28, 1998 MASAC meeting. He said any PAC members that were not already MASAC members would be invited, as well. Mr. Fuhrmann said he would have HNTB put together a pre-meeting packet to mail to members before the April meeting so representatives would have the opportunity to review the information and formulate questions. MONITORING REQUEST PROCEDURES Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, said that this agenda item was placed on the agenda because of discussions at previous meetings about how requests for information or monitoring should be handled so that they are tied to MASAC's objectives. Mark Salmen, Chairman, said he felt that any request for information should be in the form of a clear and concise written request that included the purpose of the request. Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, said he was concemed that sometimes the person making the request doesn't have the expertise to outline specifically how the monitoring should be done and would need guidance from the staff first. Mark Salmen, Chairman, said including the specifics of how the monitoring should be done wouldn't be necessary, but that the request needed to thoroughly state the purpose or reason behind the request so that the Operations Committee and staff could respond to the request in the most accurate way possible. Bob Johnson, MBAA, said he preferred requests to come to the chairman first. He said the chair would then make the determination as to whether it should go to staff or the operations committee. - Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, said the small requests for information that only take a couple hours were not what cancerned him. He said it was the larger projects that would take a number of days or weeks to complete that were most important to have a procedure for. 0 Mr. Fuhrmann also said he hoped that any long term monitoring project wouid benefit the whole organization. He also encouraged the Operations Committee to be sure that the approvai process doesn't take too long. Bob Johnson, MBAA, said when requests for monitoring or information come to him, he will tum the requests over to the Operations Committee for discussion at the next scheduled committee meeting rathe� than waiting to take action at the full MASAC meeting. Mark Salmen, Chairman, said he felt the results of smaller requests for information should be shared with the rest of the group, as well. Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, suggested that a regular agenda item for the Operations Committee be Moniforing and Information Requests. There was a discussion regarding what criteria should be applied to requests. The following �re some of the suggestions from Committee members: 1. Does the request address one or more of the objectives of MASAC or the discussion items approved for 1998? If so, the request could be given a higher priority than other requests. 2. Who is making the request? Is it a citizen commission, city staff member or a mayor, for instance? 3. What sort of data is being asked for? If the data cannot be provided a quick response should be given to the requester. 4. How accessible is the data? 5. How long will this data be asked for'? Should it 6e a long-term project? When should this project be finished? 6. How will the data be used and how can we use it to advance MASAC's purpose? What will we do in response to the information gathered? John Nelson, Bloomington, siaggested staff start a work item activity log to track requests and their progress. He said each member could then have access to information requested by any of the other cities. It was agreed that simple requests for information from the staff could be requested over the phone without having to go through a formal p�ocess and that those requests would be logged on the work item log. - Mayor Charles Mertensotto, Mendota Heights, suggested that a written policy be implemented so that there are no questions for the staff in regards to how the process 3 works. It was also suggested that a form be developed that could be used by staff to track ,� the progress of an information request. Bob Johnson, MBAA, said he would get together with staff to develop a written procedure before the next Operations Meeting. CHARLES MERTENSOTTO, MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MOVED AND JOHN NELSON, BLOOMINGTON, SECONDED TO DIRECT STAFF TO DRAFT A MONITORiNG AND INFORMATION REQUEST PROCEDURE AND TO ESTABLISH A WORK ITEM ACTIVITY LOG FOR ALL MASAC REQUESTS. THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. MOTION CARRIED. Dick Keinz, MAC, noted that a work activity log was also a suggestion of Padilla, Speer and Beardsley in ttreir MASAC assessment. FAA ATCT AIRSPACE PRESENTATION Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, said staff would be willing to draft a letter to the FAA in order to request an airspace presentation by one of FAA's staff. Chairman Salmen said he had spoken with Carl Rydeen of the FAA and said Mr. Rydeen was very agreeable to making a presentation. Chairman Salmen said Mr. Rydeen had-a lot of experience in these types af presentations. John Nelson, Bloomington, said he thought it would be a good idea to also ask for an - update on how the tower was operating with the reconstruction of the south paralleL ( �. JOHN NELSt),IV; BLOOMINGTON, MOVED AND JON HOHENSTEIN, EAGAN, SECONDED TO DIRECT STAFF TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE FAA-ATCT REQUESTING THAT AN ATCT STAFF MEMBER MAKE AN AIRSPACE PRESENTATION AT THE MAY 1998 MASAC MEETING. THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. MOTION CARRIED. RUNWAY CONSTRUCTION Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, gave an update of the reconstruction of the northwest end of the � south parallel runway. He nated that the current runway was built in the 1950's and has 8- 10 inches of concrete overlaid with 8-10" of asphalt. He said the new runway would consist of 20-24 inches of concrete and would be "frost free" due to the crushed rocfc and limestone that would be layered under the concre#e. Mr. Fuhrmann said reconstruction would begin in April and would include the northwesterly 3,400 feet. He said the 900-foot extension would also be completed at the same time. He noted that the City of Minneapolis was voting on the agreement that would keep the MAC from using the additional 900 feet until the reconstruction of runway 04/22 began and would also guarantee that the addition would not be used after the reconstruction unless agreed upon by both parties. 4 Mr. Fuhrmann said as part of the reconstruction, a south taxiway wouid aiso be added for easier access to both the south parallel from the south and to the new No�th/South runway. He noted that the southeastem portion of the runway would be reconstructed the foilowing year. The center section would be reconstructed when the No�th/South runway was complete and usabie. Mr. Fuhrmann noted that the reconstruction this year would leave approximately 6,000 feet of usabie runway on the south parallel. He displayed a diagram of the runways that showed the average number of flights per day in 1997 compared to the estimated number of operations for each runway during the reconstruction. He noted thai about 50% of the traffic currently using the south parallei runway would be dive�ted to either the north parallel o� the crosswind runway due to the decrease in usable runway for departures on the south parallel. He said because of this departures off of runway 22 would increase from about 10 per day to between 100-170 per day. He said staff would be able to monitor the activity using ANOMS data. Mr. Fuhrmann also displayed a diagram that showed the most heavily traveled path for departures off runway 22 using data from May 1997. Mr. Fuhrmann said the construction was scheduled to take place on a fast track which means construction would take place 6 days a week, 20 hours per day depending on the weather. Mr. Fuhrmann also explained, in general, the construction projects included in the 2010 Plan. . In 1999, the southeast portion of the south parallel runway will be reconstructed. . In 2000, an additional 1,000 feet will be added to the north end of runway 04/22 along with the reconstruction of the runway north of the north parallel. During this construction, the additional 900 feet of runway on tt�e northwest end of the south= parallel runway wouid be opened for use by long haul flights. WFien 04/22 is reopened after construction, the 900-foot extension to the south paralle! runway will be closed. . In 2003 when the north/south runway is completed, the center portion of the south parallel runway could be reconstructed. . MAC estimates that 37% of all departures will be to the south off of the new north/south runway. He noted that discussions regarding a new Runway Use System would need to be started soon. . Runway 04/22 will be used only for long haul flights after the opening of the north/south runway. Tom Hueg, St. Paul, asked if a►rival traffic on runway 22 would be touching down in the same place as they do now when the extension is completed. Mr. Fuhrmann said they would and that the extension was being constructed only for departure performance capabilities. 5 Chairman Salmen briefed the committee on how Northwest Airlines plans to coordinate with � their pilots to get the most use out of the 6,000-foot south parallel runway. �� . He said that all narrow-body aircraft are technically able to arrive on 6,000 feet of dry pavement. . When there are wet conditions, some of their DC9's and 727's are not able to land on 6,000 feet. . Departures, however, would depend upon conditions of the day, the load and the leg length, etc. . A reasonable number of jets are capable of using the south parallel runway for takeoffs with a regular load. � s The 757's and the A320's are more capable than the 727's and the DC9's.� Because of this, NWA will have more 757's and A320's operating out of MSP this summer. . NWA estimates �that under good runway and IFR conditions, there will be about a 70% acceptance rate of those aircraft that are technically capable of using the 6,000-foot runway. .� NWA has undertaken a publicity campaign with the flight crews to educate them as to what is taking place and asking them for their cooperation. . NWA will be putting someone in the ATCT to Melp monitor how many technically capable aircraft accept the 6,000-foot runway when it's been offered. . Air Traffic personnel will assume that technically capable aircraft will use the 6,000-foot runway. It will be the pilots' decision whether or not to accept the runway. . All NWA's narrow bodies can operate over construction. Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, asked what the worst case scenario woufd be. Roy � Fuhrmann, MAC, said strong winds from the no�theast in IFR conditions and a low ceiling would be the worst conditions from a capacity standpoint. During peak operations the regional airlines will be funneled over to depart off of Runway 12R. During low periods, they would use Runway 1-2L for departures.

Chad Leqve, Technical Staff SUB,jEC'I': 199$ Airport Noise Symposium DATE: March 2, 1998 The 1998 Airport Noise Symposium was held in San Diego, California, on February 23-25, 1998. Presentations covered a wide array of aviation noise related topics including noise metrics, land use compatibility, GPS, NADPs, Stage III Aircraft Fleet, noise disclosure laws and future navigational techniques such as "Free Flight". Although each session contained valuable information, certain topics provided insight into specific aspects of the aviation noise arena. { � Of particular interest, was the presentation by Barbra Beyer, President of AVMARK Inc. about the aviation industry. Ms. Beyer has compiled the following statistics: • The demand for revenue passenger miles closely follows the amount of discretionary monies available to the general population. • The major airlines are finally repaying debt of the early 1990s with the positive income statements of today. • Of all the jet aircraft manufactured, 84% are still in service today. • Stage II aircraft have seen an 80% decline in value since the adoption of the Stage II phase out legislation. • The demand for aviation transportation, will double over the next ten years, however oper- ations are only predicted to increase an average of twenty one percent nationwide. • Approximately two thousand new aircraft will be manufactured within the next ten years. The above facts provide a broad understanding of some of the realities facing the aviation industry. The phaseout of Stage II aircraft and the introduction of new aircraft represent a significant expenditure for the nations airlines as they position themselves to address the population's demand for transportation of the future. FAA discussed the draft noise policy and NASA addressed their Strategic Initiatives to Reduce Aircraft Noise. These initiatives included a noise-reducing nozzle for supersonic aircraft, en�ine nacelle acoustic liners, industry partnerships for noise reduction and specific noise reduction levels of l0 dB relative to 1992 production technology. : �� : -�.� . . - •. � � ..�� COUNCIL General Meeting March 2, 1998 7:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. 6040 28th Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota ��1?' �., t"' � � t � } .,t.�;.E_-..;�,.�_<. ; _ .l� .. i' F�� ,r,;� .: `�;,:�: �°� - . . . , . 1.

Introduction of invited �uests Receipt of Communications A letter was received from Dean Lindberg of Minneapolis regarding the location of e:cisting Remote Monitoring Sites. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, has responded to him. Chairman Johnson said the only other communications were letters from the various cities and organization� designating their respective MASAC representatives. 4. ANOMS Update Cha.d Leqve, MAC, updated the council on the status of the ANOMS system. He said the ha:rdware is up and opera.tional but the Memorandum of Agreement with the FAA has not been executed. He said staff has also responded to a number of requests from the FAA regazding the new process. He said staff was now waiting for the FAA to act on the MOA and are in daily contact with Arnie Yeske of the FAA. He said sta.ff should hear from the FAA within the week regazding the MOA. He said ��3 ha.d also.sent a letter to the FAA indicating that MSP's system was identical to Seattle's system, which was thoroughly researched at the time of its installation. He reiterated that the data. was still being stored on optical disks. � Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said that at the January 16, 1998 Operations Committee meeting, a �� motion was rnade "that contingent upon any failure in the process to move ahead within the expected timefraxne, the Operations Committee recommends that MASAC take formal action to encourage the FAA to promptly approve the Memorandum of Agreement so that the ANOMS system can be restored to full operations." JON HOHENSTEIN, EAGAN, MOTIONED AND KEVIN"BATCHELDER MENDOTA HEIG�ITS SECONDED THAT MASAC TAKE FORMAL ACTION TO ENCOURAGE THE FAA TO PROMPTLY APPROVE THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT SO THAT THE ANOMS SYSTEM CAN BE RE50TRED TO FULL OPERATIONS. THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. MOTION CARRIED. Chairman Johnson said he would send a letter to the FAA encouraging prompt approval of the MOA. Technical Advisor's Runway Svstem Utilization Report and Complaint Summarv Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, briefed the council on the abbreviated November and December 1997 Technical Advisor's Reports. November 1997 .'The Complaint Summary showed a slight decrease in the number of complaints from November 1996. . Operation counts increased slightly from November of 1996. e Heavy usage of the Comdor in November was noted throughout the month. C 0 . Nighttime Operations, according to the tower logs, were high in the corridor and low over Minneapolis and Richfield. December 1997 ' � . The Complaint Summary showed a slight decrease in the number of complaints from December 1996. o Operation counts increased slightly from December 1996. . Nigbttime operations in the Corridor for December were high, and low over Minneapolis and Richfield. Kevin Batchelder, Mendota. Heights, asked if the high percentage of nighttime operations in the corridor were non-simultaneous departures and whether the controllers were following the new tower procedure to follow the centerline. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said they were. 6. Minneapalis Stra.ight-out Departure Procedure Update Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, described the Minnea.polis Straight-out proposal and briefed the council on its status with the FAA. He said because it would be a change in flight operations below 3000 feet, an Environmental Assessment was required. He said staffwas working with Annette Davis at the Regional FAA and stated that staff is available to assist the FAA in the analysis for the EA. He said staff had not received a response from the FAA in regards to staff providing help, but that staff was prepared to help with the analysis for the proposed procedure. 7. MASAC Audit Progress Roy Fuhnnatu�, Technical Advisor, briefed the council on the progress of the MASAC audit. He noted that ^) the public relations firm of Padilla, Speer and Beardsley was hired to conduct the audit. He said the audit would be completed by the end of the week and that there would be a presentation at the February 3, 1998 P&E Committee Meeting. Mr. Fuhnnann said sta.ffwould be recommending to the P&E Committee that the audit be given to MASAC for cornment. He said a copy of the audit would be ma.iled along with the minutes and agenda for the March 3, 1998 MASAC meeting. He said a response from MASAC in regards to the audit would be scheduled for presentation at the Apri17, 1998 P&E Committee Meeting. Jill Smith, Mendota. Heights, noted that the March 3, 1998 MASAC meeting conflicted with Mendota Heights' City Council meeting and wanted to lmow wh� the date had been changerl from the fourth Tuesday in February. Chairman Johnson said that both he and the Technical Advisor would be out of town on the fourth Tuesday in February. Ms. Smith asked that for any possible future changes, that the first Tuesda.y of the month not be scheduled for MASAC. Operations Committee Report Mark Salmen, NWA, reported on the January 16, 1998 Operations Committee meeting. Mr. Salmen said the Opera.tions Cominittee had a lengthy discussion on how the ANOMS system could provide better information for the generation of a new Part 150 contour. He said the Opera.tions Committee decided that more infornlation was needed in order to continue discussions. He said staff would be making plans to invite Evan Futterman of I�N'TB to make a presentation to the Operations Committee and that the issue would be continued on into 1998 as a discussion item. 9. MASAC Objectives i 3 Mr. Salmen said there ha.d been a lengthy discussion on the goals and objectives for 1998. He said the � goals that were approved by the committee were: l. To provide information to the MAC in their efforts to communicate changes in opera.tions, due to construction schedules, to the sunounding communities. 2. Evaluate departure compliance through the Ea.gan/Mendota. Heights Comdor and make any necessary changes to the relevant procedures. 3. Review the ANOMS system and noise monitors, and evaluate the need and placement of additional remote monitoring towers. Also evaluate remote monitoring capabilities. 4. Request Air Traffic Control personnel to make a presentation on how MSP operations are conducted. � Ongaing discussion items include: 1. Look at providing incentives to camers in acquiring and operating factory-made stage III aircraft. 2. Investigating how GPS and other navigational aids could help alleviate aircraft noise. 3. Review the Noise Abatement Departure Procedures and compliance. 4. Continue discussion of Part 150 contour generation. Chairman Johnson asketi Mr. Salmen to briefly explain the construction plans for the coming construction season. Mr. Salmen said the reconstruction of the northwest end of thersouth parallel nuiway would begin April l, 1998. He said the runway would be reduced from a 10,000-foot runway to about a 6,000-foot runway. He said the project was expected to be completed approximately the first week of August 1998. He noted that construction of a deicing pad was also scheduled for this yea.r. � Chairman Johnson noted that the southeast portion of the south parailel runway would be reconstructed in 1999. Dawn Weitzel, Richfield, asked how the reconstruction would change the percentage use of the runways. Mark Salmen, NWA, said there would be an increase in departures off 04/22 to the south depending on the wea.ther pattems. He noted that the reduced 6,000-foot runway presented more di�culties with departures than for arrivals. He said most of the jet departures would not be able to use the 6,000 feet of runway for departures. Mr. Salmen e,cplained how each of the runways could be used depending on the weather canditions. 10. Report of the MAC Comrnission Meetin� Cha.irman Johnson briefed the council on the January 20, 1998 Commission Meeting. He said there was a discussion about the Met Center property. He noted that the Commission had bought that property for $27 million and was now in discussions with the owners of the Mall of America and tlie owners of the Kelly Farm land. Chairman Johnson said the Commission also heard an update on the PLOG report. He said the Commission was not as pleased with the progress as they would like to be. He said there ha.d been very little change from the last report. Chairman Johnson said there was also a discussion about whether or not the cunent legislative session would have any items that would affect the Cornmission. He said, aside from a bill regarding the �� 4 deregulation of ground transportation, there didn't seem to be anything else that would af%ct the " Commission. � 11. Persons Wishing to Address the Council Jon Hohenstein, Eagan, asked if the council would be voting on the MASAC Objectives at this meeting. Chairman Johnson said he would like the members to take the objectives back to the appropriate people for consideration and that a vote would be taken at the next meeting. 12. Other Items Not on the A�enda. Roy Fuhnnann, MAC, briefed the council on the Destination Study for 1998. He noted that Chicago was the city that was the most frequent destination from this airport. He said one of the factors of where airplanes depart out of MSP depends on their destination. Tom Hueg, St. Paul, asked what the frequency was represented for the number of opera.tions presented. Roy Fuhrmaru�, MAC, said they reflecteri the number of monthly opera.tions. John Richter, Minneapolis, askesi if staff could obtain this same data. for the last 10 yea.rs. Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, said he would find out if the information were available. Jill Smith, Mendota. Heights, asked if the destinations represented the ultimate destina.tions or just the next stop out of MSP. Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, said they represented the ne.ct stop out of MSP. Mark Salmeq NWA, gave a short explanation about air space mana.gernent as it corresponds to decisions ; l l made about how aircraft depart out of MSP. He said a presenta.tion from the FAA would be more effective 1 in e.cplaining the air space management system. 13. Adjournment Chairman Johnson adjoumed the meeting at 8:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted. Melissa Scovronski, MASAC Secretary 0 4.

Oison, 1969-1979 February 9, 1998 Mr. Bruce Wagner Minneapolis/St. Paul Tower Minneagolis, NIlV Dear IV1r. Wagner, Over the past years communities surrounding Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) have grown to rely on a means of objectively quantifying and analyzing the resultant impacts from MSP on their communities. The Airport Noise Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) at Minneapolis/St. Paul offers the objective analytical prowess that the communities have come to depend on. On January 27, 1998 the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abaternent Council (MASAC) made the following motion. Whereas: MASAC takes formal action to encourage the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA ) to pro �tly approve the Memorandum o,�greement (MOA) so that the ANOMS svstem can be restored to afi�ll�perational status. The above motion is testimony to the high degree of community frustration and a diminishing degree of tolerance. The catalyst for such feeling stems from the status of the MOA or lack there of, relative to ARTS data acquisitions. �th the system ready to go and the communities waiting eagerly for the publication of ANOMS reports the only obstacle remaining is the MOA. Your prompt attention to trus issue would be b eatly appreciated. If we can be of any assistance, or you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Metropolitan A.irports Commission's Aviation Noise and Satellite Pro�ams staff. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.

FICAN is concerned primarily with research, and does not set aviation noise policy. We eYpect the format of the public fonun to include brief presenta.tions by agency researchers on the status of aviation noise research, followed by public comment. Commenters will be requested to notify the Committee by March 6, in order to allow or�anizers su£ficient time to schedule all presentations. The forum will be held at the Federal Aviation Adminislration Headquarters, 800 Independence Ave (Auditorium FOB-l0A), from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We intend to structure the presentations in two sessions: the first session will run from 9:30 am. to 12:00 p.m. and cover tech.nical issues, including noise reduction technologies, and noise modeling issues; the second session will run from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will cover aviation noise effects, land use compatibility, and public information programs. More detailed information on the research projects is available in the FICAN report, Aviation tVoise Research Conducted by FICAN Member Agencies, copies of which are available throu;�h FICAN's contractor, Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. Further information on the public forum will be published in the Federal Register in February 1998; additionai infozmation on FICAN is also available online at: http://www.fican.org. Please contact Mary Ellen Eagan at (7S1) 229-0707 if you have any questions about the public forum, or would like to submit comments at the meeting. Due to security measures at the FA.A, we suggest that you notiry us oi your aitendance in advance, and plan to arrive a few minutes eariy. We look forward to your pa.rticipation in the public forum.
