staff are recommending denial of this proposed application. ... Our primary concerns are around the possibility of impairing visibility in the vicinity of the airport or otherwise endangering the landing, takeoff or maneuvering of aircraft.

My biggest concern is the blasting. It's 2800 ft from the end of the runway and essentially right on center line...blasting in that quarly query area really effectively eliminates what's called an LV LPV approach to runway 21.

This last report that came on Friday looked like a kill report... If they really truly were doing an independent study, they want to reference 1280 ft for the blasting potential. It's not an independent study. It's a kill report.

I've personally never seen a blast of that poor design or execution in my entire career... Blasting is a strict liability activity in the state of Minnesota. And in this particular scenario, there's a an incredible ability for that blaster to not only see the sky, but hear the sky.

when the FA increases those approach minimums, the chances of me making it into the Rochester airport decrease. And there's been many times myself I'm personally thankful for the low approach minimums that Rochester does have because a lot of surrounding airports don't have that and allows me to make that in. But if that goes away because of these Corey operations, it makes the usability of the Rochester airport much less.

I can't guarantee you that we will ever have clarity on what the full implications to the airport operation are, but you will be obligated to operate that airport for 20 years. Every time you take a dime of federal money, which you do every year, and as the airport sponsor for the airport, you have obligations to ensure its operability.

I'm looking for and I understand that this has been going on for quite some time and I really commend Mr. Reed and the airport and and the applicants working together up to this point. I do have some I'm uncomfortable about the report that came out late this week and also some of the some of the characterization of that report by by the applicant. That concerns me.

What I heard was more information regarding the Madison example, what it would take to consider an operations agreement, if that's feasible and what that might include. More information around an air traffic controller. How does this work in practice with unscheduled flights? how much notice would be received if any and more clarification around the number of blasting events per year.

The city of Rochester is a UT entitlement community. So, every year we get funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development um for our community development block grant program. The funding is used for a wide variety of community development projects.

It's always a tough decision because you get so much of an ask and there's only so many dollars to give out. It's it's a really hard choice to make and I kind of reviewed my scoring my scoring sheet today and I had all nine applications within nine points of each other.
