Page 2 of 54
2.a.
Commissioner Bobbitt commented on the RNAV charts and asked if they can get updated
ones. Chair Norling noted to reach out to MAC to see if clearer and more current charts are
available.
Commissioner Bobbitt commented that the Commission should consider how the City
Council may perceive the RNAV changes and anticipate potential questions regarding
impacts, while acknowledging that the Commission has no authority over the implementation
of those changes.
Vice Chair Sharma asked whether the slideshow contained sufficient information to provide
the City Council with a comprehensive overview. Chair Norling responded that the content
should be adequate to fill the allotted presentation time.
Chair Norling asked Commissioner Hamiel to put together the timeline, and she will reach out
to MAC to get clearer and more current charts.
Chair Norling reiterated the desire to present to the City Council in October and asked whether
commissioners would be available for a special meeting before that date.
Chair Norling then asked city staff to confirm the October City Council meeting schedule and
submission deadlines. Administrative Coordinator Desmond provided the meeting dates and
noted that materials are typically due by the end of the Wednesday preceding the meeting.
Chair Norling proposed having a special meeting before the October Council meeting.
Commissioner Bobbitt proposed holding a special meeting on October 8.
5.INFORMATION AND CORRESPONDENCE
6.ANNOUNCEMENTS AND COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Chair Norling reviewed the August Operations Report, noting fewer total operations compared
to last year, continued predominance of south flow runway use, and higher noise levels
associated with lower aircraft altitudes during summer operations.
Commissioner Hamiel noted that it is harder to get the planes up to a higher altitude in the
summer compared to in the winter.
She reported that Runway 12R is scheduled to reopen next Friday, provided updates on the
NOC work plan, announced that FAA RNAV implementation has been delayed until March
2026, and suggested exploring the possibility of scheduling ARC meetings prior to NOC
meetings.

AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES
October 8, 2025
The special meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at Mendota Heights City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve.
1.CALL TO ORDER
Chair Norling called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm.
Commissioners present: Norling, Sharma, Bobbitt, Sloan, Dunn, Neuharth, Hamiel
Staff present: City Administrator Jacobson and Administrative Coordinator Desmond
Public present: Rose Agnew
2.BUSINESS
a.ARC Update to the City Council
Chair Norling noted that Commissioner Hamiel prepared two written summaries outlining the
history of the airport and the Mendota Heights Airport Commission. Commissioner Hamiel
provided an overview of the material.
Commissioner Bobbitt asked how much time would be allotted for the Commission’s
presentation to the City Council. City Administrator Jacobson stated that a total of 15 minutes
would be provided—10 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for Council questions.
Commissioner Hamiel provided additional background on the history of the airport and asked
whether Mendota Heights currently has representation on the Noise Oversight Committee
(NOC). City Administrator Jacobson confirmed that she serves as the City’s representative and
is the NOC co-chair.
Chair Norling asked about past discussions between the NOC and the Mendota Heights
Airport Commission and whether Commissioner Hamiel had additional information.
Commissioner Hamiel stated that he could research and provide more details if available.
Chair Norling also asked about previous efforts by cities to collaborate in order to have a
stronger collective voice with the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC). Commissioner
Hamiel stated that he did not have additional information beyond what was included in his
write-up.
Chair Norling discussed the overall flow of the presentation and asked Commissioner Hamiel
to elaborate on a bullet point, noting reduced representation related to noise issues.
Commissioner Hamiel explained that in the 1980s and 1990s many cities maintained airport
Page 4 of 54
2.b.
or noise commissions, whereas today fewer cities do so, with most participation now
occurring through the NOC. Chair Norling noted this would be a valuable point to include in
the presentation.
Chair Norling asked whether the Commission should go into greater depth on the charts and
whether they had been presented previously. Commissioners Sloan and Neuharth confirmed
that similar charts had been presented in the past. Commissioner Sloan suggested
highlighting selected individual charts and explaining their significance.
Chair Norling discussed emphasizing three key historical points during the presentation and
reviewed potential slide content and additional topics. Commissioner Neuharth
recommended showing only two charts rather than all of them and offered to present those
charts.
Commissioner Sloan noted that RNAV implementation is forthcoming and should be
addressed. Chair Norling suggested beginning with the historical overview and transitioning to
RNAV as a future-focused topic. Commissioner Neuharth also recommended including the
noise corridor footprint chart.
Chair Norling stated that the Commission is currently scheduled to present at the October 21
City Council meeting. City Administrator Jacobson noted that the presentation could be
moved to a different meeting if necessary. Commissioners discussed possible dates.
Commissioner Dunn suggested that City Administrator Jacobson and Chair Norling determine
the final presentation date. Chair Norling stated that they would discuss it further and that the
presentation would most likely be moved to November 5.
3.ADJOURN
Motion by Neuharth and second by Bobbitt to adjourn the meeting.
Motion carried 7-0.
Chair Norling adjourned the meeting at 7:05pm.
