Doug Caroom- City Attorney for
Airport Litigation.
It is essential that we proceed now
if we plan to do it. We have 60
days to appeal from the date of the
FAA order (December 4,1986) and after
that we -cannot appeal. It would
have been better if we would have
acted in 1983 when the airport decid-
ed to build the runway. We are
trying to get back to an Environ-
mental Impact Study.
If the 60 days goes by the only thing
we can do is wait until they take
further action and appeal them. We
should have ask for 10% usage instead
of total non-use until 1983 Impact
Study is reevaluated.
At this time we have two options;
we can appeal the decision of the
judge or file a new law suit. We
need to make them look at using all
runways. They need to take environ-
mental impacts as low as possible.
fie noted that DFW is in the process
of changing their Masterplan.
Mayor Latta stated it sounds good for
citizens to contribute funds. The
Council is constrained to the Budget
and we cannot put more levies on the
citizens. The citizens can put up
non-profit funds at a local bank for
a specific purpose. They will need
a trustee of the foundation.
He added that there are as.many
negative persons as positive ones.
The ones against are even threaten-
ing to sue the City of Southlake,
which will also cause the city to
expend funds on going further with
another suit.
Westerholm stated the citizens can
make contributions to the city for
a specific fund. The council must

At that time, Council went into a
closed session as per V.T.A.S.
Article 6252-17e Litigation.
Upon return to open session:
Mayor Latta indicated that the
Council looked at the opinions of
the citizens and the impact of noise
on the environment. Council will
continue, with public support, in
the near term. Citizens are urged
to contribute funds in the form of a
donation by December 16,1986 at
the City Council meeting. Funds
should be made out to the City of
Southlake Noise Awareness Fund. The
funds will give Council a yardstick
to determine attorney participation.
Mayor Latta also stated we need a
large donation from the School Board.
