TITLE
Recommendation to City Council to direct staff to prepare and deliver to Council agreements between the City and all existing and future air carriers and commuter flights that should the City decide to modernize Long Beach Airport, each will fund or participate in financing, all up-front costs related to modernization of terminal facilities.
DISCUSSION
Our airport is unique and requires more than a standardized approach. A modernization plan for Long Beach airport needs to not only address the size of the terminal, but also ways in which we can protect the integrity of our neighborhoods impacted most by airport operations, a plan to better protect our Noise Ordinance which limits the number of fights, opportunities to preserve the historical significance of the terminal and equally important,
maintaining the transparency of this process in which the City Council, staff and the community have been working together and will continue to work.
