IX. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Airport Noise Committee Report:
Alderman Jakab reported that the interim Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Plan was proposed by the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC), in collaboration with the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), in 2017 to provide relief from nighttime noise for the communities around O’Hare International Airport. The Interim Fly Quiet plan is in effect from November 3, 2019 to May 17, 2020 and from September 13, 2020 through February 2021. The plan will be impacted by airfield construction projects, which will result in reverting to the original Fly Quiet program during those periods. Fly Quiet is a voluntary nighttime noise abatement program at O’Hare that is in effect from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. The committee’s purpose was to review, modify and make recommendations regarding nighttime noise abatement procedures at O’Hare. The Fly Quiet committee has overseen a series of three runway rotation tests, which were conducted in order to find the best solution to balance nighttime noise impacts. The IFQ features an eight-week runway rotation plan. For each week, a primary and secondary runway use configuration is provided to accommodate potential changes in wind direction. The runway use configurations have been determined and approved by the ONCC to balance noise exposure to the extent possible. The ONCC Fly Quiet Committee is considering options for FQ21 – a new Fly Quiet plan to be in place once the O’Hare Modernization Program is completed and full build-out is reached at the end of 2021.
Mr. Mermuys reported there is a specific section on the City’s website for O’Hare noise and he will ensure all the updated information is on the site soon. There will be more information about the permanent Fly Quiet in the next Manager’s Report.
Mr. Paplauskas reported the City’s new website has a feature called spotlight that allows certain items to be featured and allows an option of listing two at any time.
Mayor Pulice reported that SOC has hired a specialist to help out the City and requested recommendations. The City responded yesterday for the Fly Quiet Meeting next week. They are working toward a permanent Fly Quiet Program, and once 9Center is built and 9Left is extended, there will be two other runways over 11,000 feet. He is trying to get a definite date, but it will take time once the airport is finished. The FAA has their maintenance garage on the north side of the airport and they are saying planes can’t be crossing in the evening. The City’s argument is that if they are using the garage during the day with 2,000 flights, it should not matter in the evening when there are only 200 flights. The City needs to push a little harder.
