RESOLUTION NO. 5057
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS,
SUPPORTING THE EL TORO FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION
WHEREAS, most Orange County residents who have heard aircraft noise from
El Toro MCAS have only experienced military jet noise; and
WHEREAS, a new commercial airport at El Toro will host the quietest Stage III
aircraft ever designed and which are three times quieter than military jets; and
WHEREAS, it is difficult for the layperson to understand the actual noise impacts
of new commercial jets by reading technical noise descriptions and that an actual flight
demonstration is an effective way to document the true noise impact that residents will
hear; and
WHEREAS, all Orange County residents, including those in north and central
County, are concerned about the noise impact on any community that is near any
Orange County airport; and
WHEREAS, the County of Orange has proposed a flight demonstration to be
conducted in 1999; and
WHEREAS, the most recent demonstration proposal now includes components
to address key questions and concerns about El Toro flight operations; and
WHEREAS, the demonstration has a wide range of aircraft type, including the
largest 747s as well as quieter, more technologically advanced jets; and
WHEREAS, the addition of noise monitoring equipment ensures that perceived
noise levels can be documented by actual scientific measurements; and
WHEREAS, the inclusion of night flights now provides an opportunity for
residents to experience the actual impact of aircraft flights during more sensitive times
of the day.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Cypress strongly endorses the proposed flight demonstration for El Toro MCAS in order
to inform and educate the people of Orange County as to the anticipated noise impacts
and the proposed flight patterns.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
meeting held on the 25th day of January 1999.
