The Committee met with Mr. David Steiber and Greenfield School District Superintendent Don Williams to receive input, reviewed staff reports and recommendations, and analyzed historical data. Issues of primary concern focussed on noise and safety. Safety and quiet flight measures which have already been initiated as well as possibilities for future mitigations were explored during the Committee's review. The Legislative and Litigation Committee feels that the community would be well served with the establishment of an Airport Citizens Committee. A small committee of no more than five individuals (residents and school officials) would be helpful in keeping the Bakersfield Airpark Advisory Committee and City management informed as to concerns and needs of the area. The Committee also feels that the City should continue its "Fly Friendly" program, together with publishing of page inserts for airport guides. As a further educational effort to encourage better understanding of the Airport's purpose and mission, it is recommended that student and adult awareness tours be conducted as well as periodic Airport "open houses." Therefore, the Legislative and Litigation Committee recommends that Council direct the Public Works Director to establish a five- member Airport Citizens Committee, with the Airport Manager functioning as an ex-officio member; the City continue its "Fly Friendly" program; publish page inserts for airport guides; and that, periodically, educational programs such as tours and open houses be conducted at the Airport. Further, it is recommended that staff prepare a report outlining efforts taken and recommendations made in response to concerns of area residents and forward the report to both Mr. Steiber and Superintendent Williams. The Committee requests that the City Council accept this report and implement its recommendations. Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, Legislative and Litigation Committee Report No. 6-91 was accepted.
