1AIRPORT ADVISORY BOARD ocToBER 26, ,t995
5.1.1 Chairperson Field advised that the City Commission approved the
lnterlocal Agreement with Broward County on the expansion of the Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood lnternational Airport. The major change is that the
FAA will have final approval on the Mitigation program and the City can
only comment. He mentioned that the DRI process should take around
two years.
Al Spies stated that the FAA has a possibility of being privatized and that
management has been poor over the years.
Anthony Stevens arrived at 7:37 p.m.
Ann Castro stated her opinion that citizens have a better chance against a
private company than a governmental agency since the private company may be
more sensitive to bad publicity than a governmental entity.
Chairperson Field and Vice Chairperson Lair attended the recent South Florida
Regional Planning Council Meeting on the DRI process. Mr. Field mentioned
that a list of points was presented by the City and that the list has not been
provided to him for distribution to the board members.
Mr. Lohmann commented from memory that the points were linking
transportation to employment opportunities, employment opportunities to
affordable housing, and that the third point was to maintain integrity of the
neighborhoods surrounding the airport. Mr. Lohmann stated that the City
presented their opposition to the Department of Transportation Dixie Highway
Corridor Project at the meeting. Mr. Lohmann was confused on how the DOT
project was connected to the DRI Process. The board discussed their lack of
input in the process since the lnterlocal Agreement was approved and what the
City has to gain from the DRI process now.
Anthony Moultry arrived at 7 50 p.m.
Discussion followed on what the meeting schedule will be in the DRI process at
the County and for the board to define their role in the DRI and EIS process.
A motion was made by Anthony Stevens, seconded by Jay Topper to ask for
direction from the Commission on the board's role at this time.
Discussion followed on the law as it relates to obtaining public documentation
and the need for the board to receive information freely since they serve at the
pleasure of the Commission.

Commission that the board plans to be involved in the DRI process and

take place at the County on the DRI process and then make a decision on how
often the board needs to meet. lt was mentioned that the board has a set
meeting date on the fourth Thursday each month and that Chairperson Field can
advise the members later on when the next meeting will be scheduled.

the general opinion from the Committee that the runway expansion is a done
deal. He reported a 3% reduction in air traffic over the last year and that the
noise contours are showing the difference in the weather affects on the noise
monitors. Discussion followed on the discrepancy that an aircraft landed around
