8. B.
CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Appointment-Flying Cloud Joint Airport Zoning Board
DATE: August II, 2009
Comment:
Introduction:
The City Council is asked to appoint Julie Klima as the second Shakopee representative
to the Flying Cloud Joint Airport Zoning Board.
Background:
Earlier this year, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) contacted the City of
Shakopee inviting the Council to appoint two represetnatives to serve on a zoning board
for Flying Cloud Airport. The purpose of the airport is to review prospective zoning
issues within the "safety zone" of the airport, some of which extends into northern
Shakopee. For example, the board could oversee issues that would impact the height of
structures that might be built in Valleyfair, or the northern part of Valley Green Industrial
Park.
The Board is currently made up of two representatives each from the Cities of Eden
Prairie, Bloomington, and Chanhassen. The other cities have appointed two members;
Shakopee has appointed only Joe Helkamp. While there have been other individuals'
names suggested, none of those have panned out. In order to have a full representation, a
second appointee is needed.
Therefore, in order to have full prepresentation, we recommend that Julie Klima, Planner
II from the City Planning division be appointed. I am informed that at least some ofthe
other representatives on the board from other cities are staff members as well.
Budget Impact:
There is no cost to the City.
Recommendation:
I recommend that Julie Klima be appointed as a second Shakopee representative to the
Flying Cloud Joint Airport Zoning Board.
Relationship to Visioning:
This supports Goal D: (Vibrant, resilient and stable).
Action Required:
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, appoint Julie Klima as the second Shakopee
representative to the Flying Cloud Joint Airport Zoning Board.
