Approval of Minutes
Sloan made a motion, seconded by Neuharth, to approve the July 10th minutes as submitted - all voted in favor.
Future Guest Speakers
The commission discussed various speakers who might be invited to future meetings. The commission agreed
to list John Nelson from MAC and the new MAC representative (once he or she is appointed) as first priority in
lining up speakers. The commission also suggested contacting our federal senators and representatives (or their
local staff) to see when their schedule might permit them to attend. Miller agreed to contact the above list and
check their availabilities.
Acknowledge Receipt of Various Reports/Correspondence
The monthly reports for June 2013 were acknowledged and commissioners updated their respective areas of
focus. Neuharth noted that nighttime operations were on an upward trend and that another month of increased
operations may necessitate further action. Dunn and Norling noted the unprecedented number of operations
over 80db measured by the remote monitoring towers in the city. Norling offered to review the figures and add
July data (which was unavailable when she produced her reports) and pass it along to the commission for
further discussion and possible action.
Sloan reminded the commission about the upcoming August 28th city golf event at the Par 3 golf course.
Adjourn
Dunn made a motion, seconded by Portz, that the meeting be adjourned. All voted in favor. Meeting adjourned
at 7:35 pm.
