Consideration of increased ooii.ee protection service. �- Inclosed you w•il.l find a brief summary by Jim Puwers on the recommended increase in police protection coverage Mr. Powers wi..11 be at Monday's meeting to anstwer• any questions the city may have relative to this _issue At this point, I would be somewhat hesitant to recommend approval of the .increased coverage. It would appear that the current police, protection is more than just adequate for a communi-ty of 2,500 and Mon ticc] Io has had very few complaints rcgnrding the necessity of increased coverage. Although it should not be the major factor in consider- ing this item the budget set for 1976 is $38, S30. If the city went with the additional. service, our police protect;ion would cost $39,252 for the year and be vrry close to the budget. llowcvcr, the addi t:iona I cost is $108 per weekor $Q'- annual ly and the itarn should be considered. very c:ri`� to l ly.

PAUL DOWNTOWN AIRPORT 4.-- March 4. 1976 - 9:30 A. 161. Both I AA and MDA officials stressed fisca l responsi bi.l i.ty and proposed a "regional." airport concept as opl"sed to three Separate airports for Buffalo, Maplc Lake and Monti.- ce.11n-Big lake. Donald Stock -dale indicated the proposed Maple Lake site could not be espa0ded and it-, would not have a chance of obtaining fAA support. James Popp stated the FAA looks at 30 minutes of driving Lime to an airport as a rule -of -thumb in federal funding of a site. All three airport: improvements are within 30 minutes driving time and thus quite unlikely that all three would be. funded. Franklin Ben.snn asked the communities to project; ahead for twenty Nears and ask if three separate airports would bo practical when neither one could service even a small leas, jet. lle stressed that, this may seem unrealistic to think about today; in twenty years, with the growth of the communities. the capabilities of landing fael.lit•ies for such it jet is very realistic. One possible site mentioned was between Buffalo and Monticello just off' Highway :$ and County 37• This site of a site In the name general arra would be somewhat centrally located fqr all communi,t.les Involved. Mii'Va'lo and Maple lake officials expressed some reluctance in ,5nth a concept as these communities find spent. fine and money nn +hair own Individual ,sites. 111t'imale1y, a,ll four communities agreed to go back to their retipert ii -4, councils and present to till, Onuncl 1 the Views ,)I' the i VA and MDA. hsch vommunIty was Io adopt a resolution indical'i,ve uP Iha rummunfly's celipnnne 1'01 a regional airport i ons elft, W t•� L.u•� { her ('.Its 11011 n'i lit l'alltl' A 1:N 19 G -� PARTTCIPANTS Big Lake Curtis Snesrud, City AdministraLor Gordon k i nz r_n burg, Planning Commission Chairman Axel Rasmussen, Councilman Burralo Carl Bowman, City Council Robert Boyd, Airport; Cumm.i.ss.ion Chairman Wendell Setterbcrg, Airport Prnject Con•dinaLur Maple Lake Leonard Driscoll, Airport Zoning Board Tom Ertel, Mayuv Robert Kramer, City Counc.i I William Mavencamp, Sr., Airport %un.i.ng Board 'William Mavencamp, Jr., Fixed Base Operator MonK cc!

In attendance: Gene Walters, Nick Flynn, John Bondus, Dr. Bauer. Curt Snesrud - Big Lake City Administrator and Gene Lindholm - Ellison Pihlstrom. Committee members were briefed on the outcome of the joint Big Lake, Buffalo, Maple Lake and Monticello Airport Meeting held at the St. Paul Downtown Airport on March Q, 1976. At this meeting, the State Department of Aeronautics had indicated that state and federal funding for three separate community airports; would seem unlikely. A Regional. Airport located somewhere between Maple Lake, Buffalo and Monticello would probably receive favorable consideration. Bei'ore the State Department of Aeronautics would consider the t'unding of any of the three airport improvements, they have requested that each respective City Council pass a resolution indicating whether or not they would be in favor of it ,joint regional facility or continue, to pursue the funding of a local Facility for each community. The concensus of the committee want to recommend that a resolution be. passed by the Big Lake and Monticello City Councils indicating their willingness to pursue a joint regional facility if agreeable to the other communities in- vol%ed. if the respective cities would not be in favor of such an airport, efforts will be continued supporting an airport .located between Monticello and Big Lake per our original- Airport Study proposal.
