Mr. Byron Jacquot, developer of the proposed airport~ expressed surprise over so much opposition to a facility so badly needed. He stated the area in question has been a designated practice area for 25 years and that trainees from the school at Brown Field are now flying over this same area. Administrative Officer Ross stated he has been in contact with LeRoy Brown, Project Officer for FAA, who has indicated no decision will be made on the airport application before them until word has been received as to whether the City Coun- cil favors or opposes the location of an airport in the vicinity proposed. Administrative Officer Ross suggested that all interested parties attend the hearing Friday, before the County Planning Commission, and that the staff be directed to obtain all information possible from the FAA on the matter of the proposed airport and report back to the Council at the next meeting in order for them to make a decision either opposing or favoring the airport.
