Ensure that the development of this master plan conforms to FAA Advisory Circular 150/5070-611 — Airport Master Plans. It is certaiU that federal grants will be requested for projects identified for continued development of the airport making conformance with this federal guideline mandatory for the study and for grant applications. Conformance with the said FAA guidance will ensure understanding of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by both the public and city officials. 4. Use the city's current Sidewalk Master Plan and Public Facility Access Audit as a model for managing involvement and participation of the entire community. Include taxing districts for public involvement with the plan. purpose, content, and proposed use of the plan. The city's use of TV and news media outlets for public information and persuasion of its street maintenance sales tax ballot option and copious news media notices of annual tax information is evidence that the city can and will provide public information when it so chooses. The city has an excellent public information office. Use it for this cause. The city has an opportunity to work with the general public in development and use of this Airport Master Plan update. Let's work together to avoid conflict this time. I would look forward to comments and/or questions. ULM=
