~U ~' ~° 5 -0~-°
DATE: July 18, 1973
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM; Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Noise Monitoring Equipment at Airport
As you recall $17, 500 was budgeted for the above with the hope that matching
funds might be .received from the State Department of Aeronautics. Mr.
Fitzgerald, Airport Director, reports that no federal funds are available for
this purpose. He also was told that there are no state funds available for this
year, but that our application (see Enclosure A} would be accepted and favor-
ably considered for the 1974-75 fiscal year.
I would like to point out that the deadline for installing the equipment is
September 29> so that some positive action must be taken immediately.
Accordingly, an application for a variance from the September 29 deadline
has been filed (see Enclosure B) with the understanding that it will be granted.
There seems to be two choices with respect to installing the noise monitoring
equipment:
1. The City can immediately proceed to do the necessary things to
install the equipment and pay the entire amount ($35, 000 approx, }.
2. Obtain the variance and hopefully obtain matching funds ($17, 500)
from the State during the 1974-75 fiscal year and then ixnxnediately
proceed to make the installation.
In any event, at this date a variance from the September installation deadline
will have to be made and based on the Council's wishes the administration will
act accordingly.

Dear 2/~r. Dyer:
This is pursuant to my telephone discussion with you and
bfr. Owen 47eddle yesterday relative to the City Council's decision
- to proceed with installation of a noise monitoring system at Santa
Monica Municipal Airport instead of seeking a "waiver" as recom-
mended in the Los Angeles County noise study report by the Northrop
Corporation.
The City Couneil has budgeted $17,500.00 in matching funds,
and we will proceed to file application for State ai.d matching
funds in the amount of $17,500.00, ~ri~o~r to•,th~~A~ust 31st dead-
l~ine, as you indicated, in order to be considered eligible for the
State's 1971+ - 1975 allocation.
Due to State matching funds not becoming available prior
to July 1974 - request is hereby made Por a "variance" on the Sep-
tember 29, 1973 deadline date of installation and operation oP an
airport noise monitoring system until such time that the State
matching funds become available.
Attched for information - and support of "request for
variance" is a copy of Los Angeles County Engineer's letter of
Mareh 29, 1973, relative to Santa Monica Municipal Airport noise
finning.

as defined in Section 5050 of Title 4 Business Regulations, Chapter 9 Department
of Aeronautics. The Board thus finds that the Santa Monica Municipal Airport has
a noise problem and must be monitored as required in the above regulations. You
