Public Meetings

NOTICE: Due to the current health pandemic and consistent with Governor Walz’ earlier announcements, the Metropolitan Airports Commission has determined it is prudent to conduct its committee meetings on Monday, July 6 via teleconference rather than in-person. 

The regular meeting location will not be open to the public. The agenda and related materials, which will include instructions for how to monitor the meetings via audio teleconference, will be available on this page. The meetings will not be available for live-streaming through regular means.

Board Meetings

All meetings of the commission and its committees are open to the public and are held in Commission Chambers unless otherwise noted. The Chambers are located in the Airport Conference Center at Terminal 1 above the Delta Air Lines Sky Club in the airport mall. MAC commission and committee meetings are webcast and archived for future viewing. 

2020 Regular Meeting Schedule

Standing committees include:

• Planning, Development and Environment
• Operations, Finance and Administration

Speaking at a Meeting

If you wish to speak to the board on any matter, you must complete a speaker’s card available in the back of the room and hand it to the commission secretary at the meeting.

If the item you want to address is not on the agenda, the chairperson will invite you to speak during the Open Forum segment of the agenda. If you wish to speak to an item on the agenda, the chairperson will invite comments when that agenda item is discussed and before an action is taken.

Please limit your remarks to two minutes. You may also bring 16 copies of a supporting document and ask the commission secretary to distribute it to the board. The chairperson may take action or reply at the time of your statement or may direct staff to look into the issue later.

When you are called upon to speak, press the “on” button on the microphone at the presenters’ table and speak clearly into the microphone. Please state and spell your name and, if speaking on behalf of an organization, your affiliation.

Meeting Etiquette

Whether or not you wish to speak at the meeting, please turn off your cell phone when you enter the chamber in order not to disrupt the proceedings. Comments, applause and similar displays from the audience are disruptive and therefore not permitted, so please fill out a speaker’s card before the meeting begins if you wish to express your views to the board.

Accessibility

The Chambers are equipped with a telecoil loop to aid those who wear telecoil-equipped hearing aids. The Chambers are fully accessible. If you need special assistance, please contact the committee secretary at least one week prior to the meeting by calling 612-726-8191.
