meetings be approved as submitted. All voted in favor.
Future Meetings/Guest Speaker Ideas
The commission discussed the recent guest speakers and suggested ideas for upcoming meetings. Discussion
focused on inviting legislators, but with election season currently in swing, the commission decided to discuss this
item again at a future meeting.
Reports on Areas of Focus
Dunn and Norling reported that the high noise events fell back to average levels in July after spiking in June.
Norling noted that she would look into past years reports to see if the June wind events were abnormal in causing
such a high level of noise events. Neuharth noted that the noise charts now had explanations included when upper
control limits were breached. Byrnes shared news articles about noise events at Chicago O’Hare airport, and
Portz updated the commission on recent MAC meetings and the upcoming meeting being held in Eagan.
Adjourn
Norling made a motion, seconded by Neuharth, to adjourn at 7:37. All voted in favor.
