The Planning Board <br /> • requested $15,000 be allocated to hire a consultant to do such <br /> a study. The Planning Board has appointed a Subcommittee to review <br /> and help staff develop the study. The Commissioners did not <br /> authorize this allocation but left the study as a work objective <br /> in our budget. <br /> Lee Mehler the developer of Midway Airport has had the plans <br /> ready for about one month but has agreed to delay submittal until <br /> the study is finished, if the study can be concluded quickly. <br /> It is my request that a public hearing be held as soon as <br /> the airport study is concluded. Luce and Smith are making <br /> good progress. A January public hearing date would give the <br /> Planning Board adequate time to review the study. Obviously, <br /> the regularly scheduled February date would be more preferable. <br /> The options include having the Commissioners call a special <br /> public hearing in January to hear the Midway Airport proposal, <br /> or delay the hearing until the regularly scheduled public hearing <br /> in February. <br /> JP/sw <br /> 0 <br />
