Item 2 on the Consent Calendar, a copy of a letter
Airport
from the City of Irvine to Orange County Supervisor
Thomas F. Riley, Fifth District, conveying the City
Council's position with respect to the future of
Orange County Airport, was presented. In their

retention of Orange County Airport as a short -haul
facility, but feels consideration of improvement or
expansion of existing facilities should be approached
on a regional basis and not from a parochial view of
individual cities. Also, the concept of Ontario as
an international air terminal is supported with
emphasis on improvement of public transportation
between Los -Angeles and Ontario. Finally, the City
of Irvine urges the Board of Supervisors to retain
a flexible approach towards the future of Orange
County Airport. On motion by Vice Mayor Hammett,
seconded by Councilman McFarland, and carried, the
Council went on record recognizing and endorsing
the -City of Irvine's position.
