have created impairment to the health, safety, welfare and peaceful
enjoyment of property in the City of Santa Ana, affecting swimming

and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana recognizes
the necessity of continued commercial and private jet aircraft
service from Orange County Airport; and
W/~EREAS, it is apparent to the City Council that removal of
jet aircraft from Orange County Airport is not practical and in
keeping with the maintenance of a good level of air travel service
for Orange County; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that the planning and
construction of any international or regional airport within the
immediate area is sufficiently in the distant future as to be not
a practical solution to the immediate problems of jet aircraft
noise and air pollutants; and

taken to the end that jet aircraft noise and air pollutants may he
substantially reduced, if not eliminated; and

accomplished along with the continued high level of aircraft servi~
from Orange County Airport can thus be accomplished by engineering
and technical changes in aircraft equipment;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council of
the City of Santa Ana does, by this resolution, urge upon the

and technical developments of jet aircraft engines as heretofore
described to reduce jet noise and jet fuel air pollution;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the Board of Supervisors adopt
rules and regulations, licensing structure, including penalty fees
