In response to area residents, Annexation No. 141 was initiated on
March X6, 1287. The area is generally bounded by Prospect Avenue
on the east, Orange County Flood Control Channel on the south, and
the present City boundary on the north. The area consists of 182
single-family residences, approximately 367 registered voters, with

test so that he would have the opportunity to vote on the matter.
He made the observation that the registered voter index needs to be
updated.
Frederick William McCoy, 17646 Sherbrook, suspected that many resi-
dents submitting written protests did so on the basis that doing so
would give them the opportunity to vote on the matter. He stated
he would prefer representation by a local elected official rather
than a County official with widespread interests.
Jerry Well, 1702 Summerville, addressed concerns regarding the
impact of annexations on current City residents. He recommended
that Council agendize for the August 3 meeting:
1) The creation of a procedure whereby separate public hearings
would be held concerning the financial impact of each annexa-
tion area. The hearings would be held after acceptance of the
annexation petition, but before forwarding to LAFCO.

AIR TRN:FIC SAFETY & NOISE PROBLEMS FOR 0ESCENOING FLIGHTS AT JOHN
WAYNE AIRFORT
Staff requested that representatives from the FAA and Airport
Department discuss airport operation and noise concerns of the City
Council.
The Community Development Director introduced Mr. George Rebella,
John Wayne Airport Manager, ~ho was present to respond to concerns
regarding noise abatement procedures, noise testing, and noise
levels ~ich constitute a violation. Mr. Maag, FAA, was present to
respond to concerns regarding proper descent routes, glide slope
guidelines and proper flight altitudes. She stated each gentleman
would make a presentation prior to responding to specific concerns.
Councilman Kelly reiterated his request that presentations be
limited to five minutes. However, the Mayor rebutted that he felt
a thorough presentation was essential. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy was
informed that Mr. Jim Hayes was unavailable to attend this evening.
George Rebella, John Wayne Airport Manager, responded to Councilman
Kelly that in litigation with the City of Newport Beach, Air Cal,
et al., the County took affirmative action to set aside the issues
on EXR $08. He stated that it was a settlement wl~h which the
County was very satisfied and wanted to proceed. He stated for the
record that Board policy for the last 14 years is that the airport
will conform to California noise standards. He also stated for the
record that it is Board/Airport policy to go above and beyond State
mandates.
An example of this is the Airport's effort to begin a noise moni-
toring program in Tustin during the next 6-9 months at a cost
between $115,000-250,000. The M-$ monitoring station is located
directly in the ILS path on Beneta Way, approximately 1/2-mile
north of City Hall and S/8-mile from Kelly's Gift shop. In the
last quarter, less than 5% of over 8,000 commercial flights regis-
tered 65 SENEL or louder for longer than 10 seconds. Mr. Rebella
asked for cooperation from Council and residents in doing noise
testing.
At Councilman Kelly's request, the Mayor invited public input from
the audience.
Michael Paul David, 446-1/2 West Sixth Street, reported several
incidents of near mid-air collisions involving commercial and pri-
vate aircraft.
Connie Check, 335 West Third Street, assured Council that there is
a noise problem in Tustin, and complained of low-flying aircraft.
Rod MacLeod, 17781 Lucero Way, complained of noise levels and fuel
dumping.
Mr. Rebella responded to the Mayor that certification of the 757
has been denied until it meets a quieter approach noise reading of
other aircraft.
Councilman Kelly was ruled out of order by Mayor Edgar for disrupt-
ing Mr. Rebella's presentation.
Jay Maag, FAA, responded to Mayor Edgar's questions on various
landing modes pilots use to land safely.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 6, 7-20-87 *
Mr. Rebella provided information 'on events leading to the'decommis-
sioning of the VOR and the FAA and Airport's efforts to institute a
new landing system.
Michael P. David, 445-1/2 West Sixth Street, shared observations.on
flights altitudes, stating he does amateur astronomy and can sight
distances fairly accurately.
Barbara Cox, 450-1/2 South "B" Street, expressed concern about
safety from landing approaches in zero visibility.
Christine Edwards, Assistant Chief of Operations at John Wayne Air-
port (formerly Noise Abatement Officer), responded that only three
airports in the western United States (San Francisco, LAX, and
Ontario) are equipped to allow "zero-zero" landings. The equipment
is extremely expensive. With :wo airports close-by with much
longer runways and extensive equipment, it's highly unlikely Orange
County woud ever receive or expend funds to install that kind of
system to handle air traffic in poor weather.
Robert Peterson, 17621 Miller Drive, disputed that flights over his
house are lower than the required 1,000 feet.
Betty Oevitt, 17671 Miller Drive, al so disputed that flights over
her home are too low.
Jim Plescett, Miller Drive, noted that there are no guarantees of
deviation in the flight path approach.
Libby Pankey, 320 West Main, was given information on the different
landing systems used by commercial and private aircraft.
George Kyle, 14202 Galy,. asked tf there is a method of reporting
pilots who violate approach altitudes.
Jay Maag explained how altitudes are monitored at the E1 Toro
Marine Base radar facility.
E. Lucas Schmidt, 17601 Sherbrook Drive, expressed concern with
aircraft elevation. However, he voiced confidence in what airport
officials have stated on the matter.
Donald LeJeune, 440 West Main Street, asked questions regarding
maximum noise levels recorded. Christine Edwards and Mr. Rebella
responded with statistics on Single Event Noise Exposure Levels
(SENEL) around the M-5 monitor station.
Arlene Moore, 17672 Orange Tree Lane, wondered why it will take six
months tO gather data. She suggested station 14-5 may be misplaced,
and volunteered her home for monitor placement.
The Mayor felt there should be a method to record flight altitudes.
Councilman Kelly felt it important that Tustin have its own sound
monitoring equipment for placement at its own discretion, and
initiate proper legal action.
Mr. Rebella informed Councilman Hoesterey that sites have not yet
been selected for monitor placement; requests have been received
from Tustin area and North Tustin residents; preliminary site sur-
veys will be made this week; and additional testing sites will be
recommended. Hence, it will take 6-9 months to conduct an exten-
sive study.
Councilman Hoesterey encouraged working towards resolution of the
problem to result in reducing SENEL, monitoring altitudes of
approaching aircraft, dispersing traffic patterns, and replacing
navigational aides.
Mr. Rebella informed Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy that the Airport Enter-
prise Fund collects revenues geneFated from commercial carrier
operations, parking, fixed base operations, and leases/licenses
issued at the airport, separate from the County General Fund.
COUNCIL MINUTES

At Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy's request, the following telephone numbbrs
were provided so that residents can report problems:
Noise Abatement - 755-6634
FAA Flight Standard District Office, Long Beach - (714) 821-6410
Residents should imedlately provide information such as: exact
time; number of e~gines, location of engines, etc.
Mr. Rebella provided information on hours of operation, and
responded that although many people believe they see fuel being
dumped, it is actually a vapor trail coming off jet wings.
Council discussion followed.
It was moved by Edgart seconded by Kennedy, to dtrect staff to
report back on:
1) The Cost to purchase, maintain, and operate sound monitoring
equipment;
g) A mechanism to enable the City to monitor and record altitude
of flights over Tustin;
3) Alternatives to reduce single event noise exposure levels
(SENEL); and
4) Once the technical data is gathered, what legal options are
available.
Councilman Kelly expressed disappointment that legal action is
being postponed.

C' COUNCIL MINUTES
P~. 9, 7-20-87
Guidelines for formation of subject committee as previously pro-
posed by Councilman Prescott.
Councilman Kelly expressed support for a special, non-scheduled
audit authorized immediately, directed by Council itself. He
thought it might be difficult to assemble a citizen team with the
necessary .competence, and such an audit might be confusing, diffi-
cult, and counter-productive for staff to work with.
The motion by Kelly to request proposals from recognized auditing
firms to conduct a special, limited audit at the specific direction
of the City Council died for lack of a second.
Council discussion/debate followed.

mittee as proposed in the inter-rom dated July 20, 1987, prepared

is no concept of an embezzlement audl~..=Embezzlement is detected

cial policies and procedures. He stated that the City is in the
process of an audit. Ne recommended that formation of the audit
