<br />be to certify to the city and the county the amount of mills to be levied.

<br />to forming a regional airport authority, and that the Board consider a contract to provide
<br />funds to support the Fargo Airport Authority. She stated that the County could still go
<br />into a regional authority at a later date after further discussion and consideration.
