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.
