AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 13, 2000
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, September 13, 2000, in the Large Conference Room at City Hall, 1101
Victoria Curve. The meeting was unofficial due to the lack of a quorum. The meeting
was called to order at 7:00 p.m.
The following Commissioners were present: Commissioners Joe Leuman, Elizabeth
Petschel, and John Roszak. Chair Scott Beaty and Commissioners Ellsworth Stein,
Gregg Fitzer, and George May were excused from the meeting. Administrative Assistant
Patrick C. Hollister took the minutes.
AIRPORT NOISE VIDEO
The Commissioners met with Dennis Rafftery of NDCTV to discuss the logistics of
making an educational video about airport noise issues for cable casting on NDCTV.
Depending on budget considerations, the video may be 15 or 30 minutes long and would
present the City of Mendota Heights' overall position on airport noise issues without
dwelling on specific "issues of the moment". The Commission envisioned this video to
be a production that would remain relevant enough to be aired on cable TV for the next
three to five years. The Commission asked Staff to convey to the Council their desire
create this video and to ask the Council if they thought that such a video would be a
worthwhile expenditure. The cost of a video production would vary widely depending on
the length of the video and the amount of NDCTV staff time used in filming and editing
the video. It appeared that a high-quality video could be made for about $5,000. The
City may wish to show the MAC video on cable first and then follow it immediately with
our own 15-minute video.
The Commissioners asked Mr. Hollister to convey to the Council the Commission's
desire to produce an educational video about air noise for NDCTV and to ask the Council
how much it would be willing to allocate for this video.
