comments from the FAA, Jacobs had made changes to the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). Regarding the
high speed taxiway on runway 15. Based on Mr. Karberg's analysis of the level of activity on that
runway, there does not appear to be a cost benefit. He stated that it may remain on the Master Plan but
may not happen. Mr. Gasbarro opined he believes it should not remain on the ALP due to future
environmental permitting complications. A review with FAA will be scheduled to finalize the plan. Mr.
Rafter discussed FAA Standards requirements that some airports are finding it a challenge to meet those
standards. Mr. Gasbarro made a Motion to not include in the ALP the additions of the high speed
taxiway of RW 15, the additional paving on the south apron, and the realignment of the taxiways to
create stubs. Second by Ms. Topham. After further discussion on the FAA's requirements for the
