DATE: 8/15/2017 REFERENCE NO.: G-19074 LOG NAME: 55REVISION TO RULES AND REGULATIONS
CODE: G TYPE: NON-CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: NO
SUBJECT:   Adopt Ordinance Repealing and Restating Chapter 3, Article I, In General, and Article V, Regulations Governing City-Owned Airports, of the Code of the City of Fort Worth to Comply with Local, State and Federal Regulations and to Reflect Current Practices (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 6 and 7)

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance repealing and restating Chapter 3, Article I, In General, and Article V, Regulations Governing City-Owned Airports, of the Code of the City of Fort Worth governing activities at Fort Worth Alliance, Meacham International and Spinks Airports.

 
DISCUSSION:

Chapter 3 of The Code of The City of Fort Worth (Airport Rules and Regulations) is the guiding document used to govern and ensure compliance with rules and regulations relating to Fort Worth Meacham International, Spinks, and Alliance Airports. It also ensures the safety and security of these airports.

In 1991, the City Council approved an update to Airport Rules and Regulations, which was the last revision to date.  The Aviation Department's proposed changes to the Airport Rules and Regulations consist largely of clerical changes, but also include revisions to existing provisions to improve conformity and compliance with current city, state, and federal laws and regulations. Other changes were made in an effort to streamline the Airport Rules and Regulations to satisfy tenant requests and better reflect the manner in which tenants use the City's airports.

A public meeting was held April 19, 2017 to discuss the proposed revisions to the Airport Rules and Regulations, and additional edits were considered. On May 18, 2017, the Aviation Advisory Board approved the recommendation that the City Council adopt an ordinance amending the Airport Rules and Regulations.

The City's Airports are located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 6 and 7.

This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
