Recommendation to submit an application for the Airport Improvement Program Grant for fiscal year 2017 to the FAA for funding for capital improvements to runway seven R 25 L District five. Can I get a motion in a second? Any public comment? Please cast your votes. Oh. Councilman Austin had a question, please. So I'm noting a $12 million improvement to runway two five. L just wanted to get a staff report from the airport director to find out exactly how the that airport runway will be utilized. Jess Romo. Good evening, honorable mayor. Honorable Council members just remove from Long Beach Airport. This runway, which is actually our shortest on the field, supports a good number of our general aviation operations. So it is still actively used but used really to support the smaller aircraft of your airport. So during the construction, well, with the general aviation aircraft, you what air, what runway and how will they be able to come to and from Long Beach Airport? Well, as they're accommodated now, all the aircraft, including general general aviation, can use any of the three. So while this runway is being reconstructed, they will either move to either runway one, two, three, zero or on to seven left to five right. And what are those general aviation aircraft subject to noise ordinance? They are subject to the noise ordinance. Keep in mind that relative to the noise budgets, only runway 1230 is the runway which actually measures and captures the noise for purposes of accumulating the noise limits. The other runways, the two five runways are used for a single event for violations. Okay. So if we are running regular aircraft on two, five and two five. Right, and we're only using one way dirty to measure noise for purposes of our noise ordinance. Is that does that. That doesn't add up. It means that there's noise that we're not capturing. Is that correct? For purposes of the noise budget? That is correct. That is the way that the noise ordinances has been has always been crafted as far as as far as I know. Okay. Look forward to talking more about that later. Great. Next item. We need to finish the vote. Okay. Please cast your votes if you have not logged in. Councilwoman Price. Councilwoman Mongo. Emotion carries.
