FROM:
City Staff
SUBJECT:
Recommendation to oppose Senate Aviation Bill (S.3094)
concerning the preemption of local noise policies and
to authorize City Manager to take necessary steps in
opposition.
Introduction
This report requests the City Council to authorize the City
Manager to take the necessary steps in opposition to Senate
Aviation Bill (5.3094) which preempts local airports from
establishing noise policies.
Background
United state Senator Wendell Ford (D-Ky) has introduced S.3094
which creates a national noise policy that preempts local control
over airport noise issues. The bill will take away the local
proprietors right to establish noise policies which balance the
needs of the community and aviation interests. Specifically the
bill would require mandatory FAA review of all existing or
proposed noise provisions * This would jeopardize the City's
nighttime departure curfew, the 95 decibel noise ordinance and
require that any future noise policies be reviewed and approved
by the FAA.
The language in Senate Aviation Bill
(5.3094)
regarding
preemption of local noise policies has been added to the Budget
Reconciliation Package in the Senate.
The National League of
- I -
t!1:8
cities and other local municipalities are leading efforts to
delete the content of (8.3094) from the budget package as well as
to defeat legislation which precludes local noise policies.
Recommendation
It is respectfully recommended that the city Council take the
following action:
1. Authorize the City Manager to utilize all efforts in
opposition to Senate Aviation Bill (S.3094) ensuring local
authorities the right to balance aviation and community needs
into reasonable noise policies.
