WHEREAS, two-thirds of the City of South San Francisco
is plagued by unacceptable aircraft noise; and

noise by 50% (10 EPndB); and

Regulations do not apply to noise from existing jet aircraft,
and in all probability these aircraft will be in service for
another 10 to 15 years; and

actual operations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council
