Dear Mr. Huston:
It has.been some time since I had lunch with you and the Mayor to
discuss the work of the Airport Site Coalition. Since that time,
I have been able to talk with three other council persons from
the City of Tustin-about our mission. Mr. Prescott will not be
available until some time in November, so I have been unable to
complete the entire process.
To refresh your memory, the Airport Site Coalition was awarded a
contract by the FAA and SCAG to conduct a search for an
additional airport to serve the citizens'of Orange County. The
cost of this study is approximately $660,000.00. Of that amount
the FAA originally had agreed to fund approximately $500,000.00
and the Coalition would have to fund the balance. Because of
budgetary constraints the FAA funded only $378,000.00 leaving the
Coalition responsible for raising nearly $300,000.00 to complete
the study.
To help make up the deficit the City of Newport Beach contributed
$50,000.00 as did the City of Costa Mesa. The City of Irvine has
contributed $12,328.00 with the understanding that we can go back
for additional funding towards the end of the year or the
beginning of the next year. Other cities have been approached or
will be approached for help as well. We are requesting
$50,000.00 from your City and ask that it be amortized out over a
period of 10 months in $5,000.00 increments. Thus, you are in a
position to monitor our progress to ensure that the study is
going properly.
I hope that you can review this with your council members, place
the item on your agenda fbr public review and then approval. I
will be glad to attend your meeting to answer any questions which
may arise.

Some of your council members asked how your City might become
more involved in the airport situation. The next major item
coming up is approval of the Access Plan which the County is
currently preparing. This plan will cover Phase II of the
airport. Meaning, it goes into effect upon completion of the
terminal which is 'anticipated to be about mid 1990 and will go
through the balance of the Settlement Agreement which will be in
the year 2005. - This Access Plan covers a multitude of items
which I think your City should be interested in. Some of these
items I believe are of mutual concern to your City and the City
of Newport Beach. For example, I think we should strive to
maintain the .12 flight per hour limitation. Further, these
flights should be amortized out over the entire hour and not
allowed to bunch up.
I also believe that some limitations should be incorporated which
will 'control the flight mix. A prorate share of the class A
aircraft, the class 2A aircraft and the exempt aircraft should be
considered. ~he idea is .to spread the noise over a longer period
of time.
There are additional items which we should consider such as
asking for a phasing out of the more noisy aircraft. As I
understand it, the City of San Francisco has such a plan and
perhaps this may be something worthwhile for our situation.
The bottom line is we should be cooperating wherever we possibly
can to help solve our mutual problem. This should be done in the
short term and the long term. Although short term solutions
center around John Wayne Airport, the long term solution is to
find an addit.{(~,] at]:-p~rt;. You can greatly assist us in both
arenas.
Please let me hear from you.
