Air Fair's goal is to limit flights and passengers at John <br /> <br />Wayne Airport. <br /> <br />Under the extended settlement agreement completed in 2003, the top <br />passenger allowance is 10.3 million annual passengers until 2011. Current <br />airport projections suggest that John Wayne will have reached its <br />passenger cap by 2006. Between 2011 and 2015, the agreement raises the <br />passenger allowance to 10.8 million. Air Fair's mission is to secure a <br />permanent cap on passenger allowance of 10.8 million passengers per year. <br /> <br />Airport expansion increases noise, environment, public health and other <br />quality of life issues related to aviation operations. The City of Costa <br />Mesa and villa Park have adopted similar resolutions in support of Air <br />Fair. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br /> <br />55A-1 <br />
