revlsed Rules and Regulatlons lmplementlng the CltylS SENEL
Ilmlt of 85 for alrcraft uSlng the Santa Monlca Alrport. The
Rules and Regulatlons were drafted by the Clty Attorney's offlce
and Dr. Karl Kryter, the Clty'S nOlse consultant. If approved
by Clty Council, the Rules and Regulatlons wlll be adopted by
the Alrport Dlrector.
BACKGROUND
Ordlnance No. 1137, adopted October 10, 1979, provldes

The ord~nance spec~f~es a procedure for rule-mak~ng by
the A~rport Dlrector, ~ncludlng publlcatlon and recelpt of
comment from lnterested partles. After wr~tten comment was
recelved from an alrport neighbor and from aVlatlon lnterests,
the Alrport Cornrolsslon held a publlC hearlng on the orlglnally
proposed verSlon of these Rules and Regulatlons. The CommlSSlon
wlthheld approval pendlng reV1Slon and a further COffiffilSSlon
study seSSlon. The Rules and Regulatlons were revlsed; the
CommlSSlon approved them and recornaended that the Counell approve
them too.
A baslc summary of the Rules and Regulatlons lS eontalned
ln a sectlon preeedlng thelr Text (Regs. pp. 1-3). Because the
ordlnance has been prell~lnarlly en]olned pendlng trlal of NBAA v.
Clty of Santa MO~lca, the Rules and Regulatlons would not be
effeetlve lmmedlately, even lf approved and adopted (see Regs. p. 3).
ALTERNATIVES
The COUDCll may dlrect further reV1Slon or modlflcatlon
of the Rules and Regulatlons, may requlre further publlC hearlng,
or may authorlze the Alrport D~rector to adopt them as wrltten.
RECOMMENDATION
It lS respectfully recommended that Clty Counell approve
the Rules and Regulatlons as wrltten.
