Committee Minutes

MINUTES/URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Wednesday, February 14, 1996 - 4:00 p.m.

Members present: Beach, Glassheim, Hanson.

1. Matter of change in name of Grand Forks Mark Andrews Inter-
national Airport.
The committee noted that they had received a letter from Robert Selig, exec.dir. of the airport, stating that he would not be able to attend nor would Board members because of prior commitments.

Chairman Beach submitted proposed resolution which he had drafted, and which was reviewed by the committee. Member Hanson agreed with proposed resolution, and stated he had two concerns: sees no real need to change the name; 2) that when council has stepped in re. some action by Authority, has created bad relations between the two - they can resolve their own problems; and to go with the resolution. Ms. Babinchak stated she wasn't on the council when airport name changed to Grand Forks Mark Andrews International Airport, knew about proposed change but didn't bring to the attention of the council - was a policy decision for the Authority.

After further discussion and suggested changes to the resolution, it was moved by Hanson and Glassheim that the committee recommend to the council that a resolution be communicated to the Airport Authority (attached). Motion carried.

2. Matter of proposal to establish committee to review grant
applications prior to funding.
Held.

3. Matter of Architectural/Engineering Review Committee for Cirrus facility.
Chairman Beach, who was appointed to the committee, stated he may not be able to attend; if not, either Members Hanson or Glassheim will serve as alternate.

Meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
