Tim, 

Manistee County Blacker Airport supports your request to extend the comment period by two weeks to May 

7th. Given that the DOT has extended the existing contract for EAS for Manistee and Ironwood until August 

31, there remains ample time for carriers to begin service by then even with two weeks less time. 

sincerely, 

Barry Lind 

Airport Manager 

Manistee County Blacker Airport

Hi Everyone, 

I spoke with Dennis on Wednesday about extending the due date from the 

23rd to May 7th. That would give us (IMT) enough time to meet with 

ESC. to work together on the decision and also to I would be able to 

put it on the table for the next board meeting. Dennis did not have a 

problem with extending the time as long as all of you were OK with it. 

Just send me a note when you get a chance. 

Thank You, 

Tim Howen
