which the District Attorney would issue complaints with regard
to violations of Ordinance No. 304.
The second is a Report on the Aircraft Accident of May 28, 1977,
which caused a fatality when an attempted landing was made along
the San Juan Creekbed adjacent to the Troy Homes development.
An investigation of the accident will be completed in approxi-
mately one week.
Mayor Heckscher requested comment from individual Council
members. Councilman Sweeney stated that the Airport is an
incompatible use so close to homes and that the County should
be notified that the Airport,will be closed in order to give
ample notice for location of an alternate site, the most impor-
tant consideration being public safety. Councilman McDowell
stated that banner hookup or banner flying must be discontinued
until such time as the Airport is closed. Councilman Nash
stated he supports closure of the Airport within six months
at the most and would urge that tows of any kind be banned
and that transients and larger planes be prohibited from using
the facility immediately. Councilman Friess noted that he
concurs with the statements of Council members, that the existing
Ordinance is not effective, that the Airport should be closed
. within ninety days, and that an.officer of the'City should be
on site as a temporary regulatory measure until phase out of

commercial activity, including student pilots, involving a
great deal of risk, experimental and acrobatic airplanes
should be banned; larger airplanes should be removed from
the area; the Airport should be closed to transients; the
location of the inspector should be carefully determined in
order to ascertain aircraft identification numbers; and

City Manager, the existing Ordinance be amended and considera-
tion given to the appropriate time for phase out of the
Airport operation. The City Manager advised that direction

banner -type flying. Councilman Sweeney recommended that no
