Since that time the FAA's <br /> environmental team has been gathering information from the Port, golf course <br /> operators of Metropolitan Golf Links and local regulatory agencies to determine <br /> potential environmental impacts and to design installation specifications for an <br /> ILS. <br /> Port and FAA staff will meet again this month to review design options prepared <br /> by the FAA to determine the best alternative(s). Plans also will be shared with <br /> the golf course operators for their input. Total funding for the project has.not yet <br /> been allocated by the and must be obtained before installation plans can be <br /> finalized. Assuming funding is secured for the project and an installation plan is • <br /> approved by the parties, the Port will facilitate a public meeting with the FAA <br /> relative to environmental documents related to the ILS. <br /> Please give me or Carole•Wedl (563 -2881) a call if you have any questions. <br /> Sin - ely, • <br /> 4111 <br /> - en Grossman • <br /> Director of Aviation <br /> 530 Water Street is Jack London Square ■ P.O.
