I did see a few public meetings regarding the ATMP. If these were the meetings, the purpose was to hear, not necessarily debate. All required meetings have concluded, all required studies are completed, and all required input has been received. I was told that one NP on the east side already has a new restriction under ATMP and is being evaluated for compliance. Maybe Darl can fill us in. Otherwise they said it looks good for HI and ATMP implementation
Back to the topic-
I was told that unless there is a single point of contact (person, group, or body), it's nearly impossible for good information to get disseminated and ideas implemented. The recommendation based on similar concerns in other parts is a single body whose purpose is to deal with the issue from a neutral viewpoint. Many locations have a group, DOT, council or other government body that acts as the liaison between the people, government, FAA, elected officials, and the people. The key was they have to be neutral (as best they can being citizens impacted) and willing to listen to what can and can not be done and evaluate suggestion based on rational thought versus emotions.
So, we're back to the beginning.
1- Private organization sanctioned by the county to deal with air overflight issues.
2- An Independent County Commission formed to deal with air overflight issues.
3- An office within an existing County Agency formed to deal with air overflight issues.
4 - ????
What say ye?
