Airport Noise Angst

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
September 13

The Mayor was not present for the meeting (no reason announced) so Mayor Pro Tem Stevenson pinch hit in the Chair seat.  8 citizens appeared for the free entertainment.

One of the topics discussed by the Board was the ongoing concern regarding overflights/noise created by air traffic over the lake.  Alderman Richmond mentioned what seems to be rather ineffective calls to a gentleman named Bob Johnson at the airfield,  apparently the all hands on deck appeal got nowhere.  The urban legend of agreements, formal and informal, between airport officials/FFA and WL (at some point in the past) continues, with notions of "the box" and flight path restrictions almost always brought up.  And so, the rather pointless back and forth continues.  It is almost as if there is nothing else to focus on.

But WL officials got hammered by a few citizens on an important issue not on the evening agenda.  That will be the subject of the next post.

I never hear anyone complain about airplanes, it must be a small minority of squeaky wheels.
