Koonce Dr., Room 225 <br />Houston, Texas 77061 <br />Discrimination Complaint Regarding Prohibiting Ultralights <br />at La Porte Municipal Airport <br />Mr. Jack Owen <br />City Manager <br />P. 0. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Dear Mr. Owen: <br />Based on an inspection conducted by our General Aviation District Office <br />on September 30, 1983, we have determined that the City of La Porte was <br />justified in prohibiting ultralight vehicles from La Porte Municipal <br />• Airport based on the safe and efficient use of the airport. <br />Our review of City Ordinance No. 1375, adopted on September 7, 1983, <br />indicates that it could be construed as preempting Federal Aviation <br />Regulations in Section 2, whereby the City prohibits ultralight aircraft <br />within the established traffic patterns. The ordinance should be amended <br />to delete the following from Section 2; "...and within the established <br />traffic patterns of the City of La Porte Municipal Airport." <br />Our investigation of the discrimination complaint filed by Mr. Mike <br />Brawner is°also closed. Attached is a copy of our letter to him for your <br />information and records. We appreciate your assistance in resolving this <br />matter and your interest in the airport. <br />Sincerely, <br />ona L. Staley, Sup rvisor <br />Planning/Programming ection <br />Enclosure <br />• <br />A ~ 1~~CEIV~D <br />o f7d3 IA93 S~2 <br />S"~~E a~~E~ Edward Warren: First American Aloft /, `'~1 ~3 <br />
