As we indicated in our letter of January 10, 1986, to Mr. John Van Antwerp, it would be inappropriate for FAA to formally execute by signature approval of a local government resolution on the resolution itself. This "letter of no objection" is they document we indicated we could provide and is the standard procedure. !le area including the resolution as an attachment to this letter. "Mayor Gallagher, wa look forward to working with you for the continued development of your airport. If you have any questions requiring our assistance, please call me at (305) 648 -6583.
