Councilman Damonte arrived: ACTION TAKEN Mayor Teglia explained that the Act would supply funding in the area of 43 to 48 million dollars throughout the United States to make airports more compatible with their surrounding environ- ments. She explained that the Airport would have to submit a noise pollution map depicting noise levels and non-compatible risks around the Airport to the FAA. After the FAA acted on the map, if accepted the property owners would be given notice that they lived in a noise impacted area. The Airport would then submit a noise compatible program indicating what they intended to do to improve the noise situation. Mayor Teglia stated that San Francisco International Airport had indicated they would be putting together a document to be presented to the FAA for consideration consist- ing of the findings of the joint Land Use Study, ANMAP, orders from the Variance Hearings and the Work Program from the Roundtable to improve the noise situation. She stated that the FAA would have 180 days to act on the program and if after the expiration of the 180 days they had not taken action the program would be approved. Mayor Teglia stated under the provisions of the Joint Land Use Study and ANMAP for insulation, which would be a part of the items presented to the FAA, that the City should consider applying directly for funding for insulation for specified neighborhoods based on the impact of noise from the Airport. She commented on the possibility of involving the School District in terms of insulating the schoolS and spoke of the time element involved in applying for funds. She stated that the FAA would be allocating 80% of the necessary funding and that the other 20% would have to be provided bY other sources.

ACTION TAKEN actions the City could take if the program was not approved; time element involved in the preparation of a program to be submitted; etc. City Attorney Rogers presented an in-depth explanation of the actions required on behalf of the Airport in order to comply with the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 relative to the submission of a noise exposure map and related documents. He stated that the map which is submitted by the Airport would have to be approved at a public meeting. Discussion ensued relative to the available funds for the program and amounts allocated on a yearly basis. Assistant City Manager Wilson stated that the City as a public entity would be the sponsor for the project for the City. He stated that the City would need to contribute some money in order to hire consultants to develop insulation standards that would be adequate for public buildings and commented on the ongoing costs for personnel to handle the paper work, administration of the funds allocated and providing inspections. Discussion followed regarding the matter of ongoing maintenance costs; administrative costs; overhead costs; number of homes to be included in the program; the area or areas the program would encompass and the possibility of alternative methods of addressing the 20% costs which would not be allo- cated by the FAA. Mayor Teglia stated that this would be the City's opportunity to identify one or two neighborhoods that are significantly impacted by airport noise. She stated that the proposed project would give the residents of those impacted neighborhoods the chance to insulate their homes against noise. She spoke of the possibility of an agency, perhaps Bayview Federal Savings and Loan under- writing a p~ogram to address the 20% costs. 11/24/82 Page 3 o AGENDA Consideration of possible Home Insulation Program under Provisions of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 - Continued.

Further discussion followed concerning various aspects of the Aviation Safety and 'Noise Abatement Act; the need for addressing the significant future changes in the noise contours; advantages and disadvantages of the City and the School District applying jointly for funding. Dr. Garbell commented that the FAA must do its part for the community in recognition of the interests of all parties concerned. Councilman Acosta indicated that he would likelto have a public hearing held in.order to receive public input on the subject. City Attorney Rogers stated that a program would have to put together and presented to Council and then a public hearing could be held on that program. Discussion followed concerning the need to set parameters and the fact that it would be up to the individual homeowner within the parameters set to elect if they wanted their homes insulated or not. Councilman Damonte expressed concern based on the CNEL contours that there wasi:a possibility that neighborhoods would be divided, in that one side of a street would fall within the contours and the other side of the stree~ where the noise impact would be the sam§ would not be included. City Attorney Rogers stated that the contour lines were not totally precise. Mayor Teglia indicated that she would not want to jeopardize the program by including people outside of the line, however, the important factor would be 11/24/82 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN Consideration of possible Home Insulation Program under Provisions of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 - Continued.

Assistant City Manager Wilson asked if Council was interested in insulating City buildings. Mayor Teglia stated that in noise sensitive areas the buildings could be looked at and presented to Council as alternatives and options to be considered in the overall program.
