<br />STATUS OF AIRPORT
<br />
<br />SAFETY ZONING
<br />
<br />On August 25, Council conducted a third public
<br />hearing regarding the proposed Airport Safety Zon-
<br />ing Ordinance. At that time, Council did not adopt
<br />the ordinance but rather directed City Staff to
<br />prepare information regarding timing and notice
<br />related to holding an advisory referendum.
<br />At their meeting on September 1, Council moved
<br />to delay scheduling a date for an advisory referen-
<br />dum and requested that the Airport Commission
<br />recommend to City Council the appropriate timing
<br />and/or action relating to the establishment of airport
<br />safety zoning.
<br />The Airport commission met on September 9 and
<br />the consensus was that an advisory referendum at
<br />this time is inappropriate since the complete data on
<br />the acceptability of the airport upgrading and acquisi-
<br />tion is not available, nor recommended at this time.
<br />The Commission recommended the following:
<br />1) The City Council adopt the airport zoning
<br />ordinance;
<br />2) The City Council delay the referendum un-
<br />til the environmental impact assessment
<br />report, relocation plan and preliminary
<br />engineering report/preapplication for AlP
<br />funds are available;
<br />3) If, in Council's estimation, an advisory
<br />referendum is required, it should be held no
<br />earlier than the second quarter of 1988
<br />when the data listed in Item #2 above is
<br />available and the acquisition plan is submit-
<br />ted for approval.
<br />Council will take the Airport Commission's recom-
<br />mendation under consideration at their meeting
<br />scheduled for September 22.
