Out of Committee By Date
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Airports Commission has since 1943
provided a sound framework in which decisions have been made to
develop the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport into one of
the finest facilities in the world; and
WHEREAS, taxpayers of Saint Paul and Minneapolis have
accumulated an approximate $20 million investment in said facilities;
and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council of Saint Paul recognize
� that population shifts and problems of modern technology deem it
advisable to expand the Metropolitan Airports Coramission to include
broader representation, but at the same time safeguards should be main-
tained to protect the investment and other interests of the citizens
of Saint Paul and Minneapolis;
Now,� Therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Council of Saint Paul go on
record as supporting MAC reorganization as proposed in H.F. 986 as
amended, and are totally and unaltera.bly opposed to other bills or
legislation that would effectively abolish the Metropolitan Airports
Commission by incorporating into an agency subservient to the
Metropolitan Council; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that this resolution be transmitted to
members of the Ramsey County legislative delegation, Governor Wendell
Anderson, Mayor Charles Stenvig of Minneapolis, and members of the
Minneapolis City Council.

Dear 1:
Thank you for your letter concerning legislation
that would place the Metropolitan Airports Commission within
the authority of the Metropolitan Council.
Although the first session of the 1973 legislature
failed to resolve this issue, interim committees will be study-
ing a broad range of inetropolitan problems in an attempt to
bring before the 1974 session recommendations that will guar-
antee effective planning in the metropolitan area.
I am hopeful that questions concerning the relation-
ship between the Metropolitan Council and its operating units
can be quickly resolved.
Again, thank you for writing.
Sincerely,
Wendell . Anderson
