RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution in support of Air Fair, an organization dedicated to
securing noise limitations, maintaining comprehensive curfews, and halting
the expansion of John Wayne Airport.
DISCUSSION
Formed in May 2002, Air Fair seeks to inform residents of the John Wayne
Airport corridor cities about the airport and its effect on the
environment and citizen's health, specifically in the areas of noise and
pollution. Air Fair's goal is to limit flights and passengers at John
Wayne Airport.
under the extended settlement agreement completed in 2003, the top
passenger allowance is 10.3 million annual passengers until 2011. Current
airport projections suggest that John Wayne will have reached its
passenger cap by 2006. Between 2011 and 2015, the agreement raises the
passenger allowance to 10.8 million. Air Fair's mission is to secure a
permanent cap on passenger allowance of 10.8 million passengers per year.
Airport expansion increases noise, environment, public health and other
quality of life issues related to aviation operations. The City of Costa
Mesa and villa Park have adopted similar resolutions in support of Air
Fair.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

throughout the JWA flight path must unite and actively work together to
secure permanent caps, noise limitations and comprehensive curfews at

Group, but fill the void that is needed to focus specifically on limits at JWA.
