AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES
September 12, 2018
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, September 12, 2018, at Mendota Heights City Hall.
1.Call to Order
Chair Sloan called the meeting to order at 7:04 pm.
2.Roll Call
The following commissioners were present: David Sloan, Jim Neuharth, William Dunn, and
Kevin Byrnes. Absent: Arvind Sharma, Sally Lorberbaum, and Gina Norling
Also present: City Administrator Mark McNeill
3.Approval of Minutes
Motion by Neuharth/Second by Byrnes to approve the minutes of the June 20, 2018 ARC
meeting. Motion carried 4‐0.
4.Unfinished and New Business
a.July 18 NOC Committee Meeting Review‐‐ By Law Changes
Chair Sloan reported that the NOC had discussed options to make public input
easier, including moving public comments ahead on the agenda, reducing the need
for a “sponsor” to speak, and allowing a total of 20 minutes’ discussion (with a 3
minute individual limitation to speak.) The vote was to approve those by‐law
revisions.
Chair Sloan also said that the NOC did evaluate the Mendota Heights crossing in the
Corridor proposal. The Co‐Chair (Delta Pilot) thought that with RNAV, it might be
possible. Chair Sloan also reported that the FAA is doing a survey about how it
measures noise. However, they won’t say which airports are being measured.
b.Discussion of Data Collection—12L Departure Modification/Crossing in the Corridor
Procedures
As this topic was of special interest to Commissioner Norling, it was decided to table
discussion of this issue until she would be present at a future ARC meeting.
c.Review of Airport Operational Statistics
i.Complaint Information. Complaint charts were reviewed. There were no
comments.
ii.Runway Use. Runway use charts were reviewed.
iii.Turboprop Charts. Commissioner Neuharth said that most of the turboprop
operations going north of the corridor were from 12L. He noted that the
charts had not been updated since September, 2016. Commissioner
Neuharth said that he would contact Brad Juffers to see if MAC could do the
Item 3a
updates on a regular basis. Dunn asked if there were complaints about turbo
operations. The response was “no”, but Commissioner Neuharth said that it
was in Mendota Heights’ best interest to monitor it. Chair Sloan asked if it
was possible to meet with the air freight companies that use turboprops?
Commissioner Neuharth said that he would check with Mr. Juffers.
iv.Noise Monitor Charts. Commissioner Norling’s notes indicated that the
Upper Control Limit had been exceeded in June for all three noise monitoring
locations. Commissioner Neuharth said that he would contact Dana Nelson
or Brad Juffers for an explanation.

TO: Airport Relations Commission
SUBJECT: Discussion of Data Collection –
12L Departure Modification/Crossing in the Corridor Procedures
Per the Commission’s discussion with the FAA and MAC regarding the 12L Departure
Modification proposal, there are a couple of data items that Commissioner Norling is interested
in tracking.
The FAA has agreed to train and remind Controllers about using the crossing in the corridor
procedures. In order to assess how training is impacting change, tracking of the following data
on a monthly basis is proposed:
(1) 120 degree heading percent utilization off of 12L, 12R, and 17
(2) Departures broken down into average hourly traffic demand
