Airport Noise Update City Administrator David McKnight shared that he did contact Airport Noise to inquire about a lower subscription rate. Airport Noise stated that due to their low number of
subscribers, a reduced subscription rate was not an option. Commissioners were in
agreement that the subscription would not be renewed. Staff will share information that
is received from Minneapolis and other sources with commission members as it is
received. 60 DNL Issue Mr. McKnight informed members that both Eagan and Richfield have joined Minneapolis in passing resolutions in support of the 60 DNL as the threshold for preventive and corrective noise mitigation. After discussing this issue the commission
directed staff to develop a draft ordinance for consideration at the March ARC meeting to
be recommended to the city council. The preference of commission members was to use
the Richfield resolution as the base document and adjust it to fit Mendota Heights issues.
NOC Meeting Update Mendota Heights Alternate NOC Representative Liz Petschel shared a summary of the January NOC meeting and a summary of a recent airport long term comprehensive plan meeting. Additional gates and other improvements are on the way for both terminals. Performance based navigation will be a significant issue for NOC in 2011. Eagan has
expressed concerns about south and east departures off of runway 17. Inver Grove
Heights has also expressed some concerns about air noise issues that will be addressed by
