    Regular meeting Des Moines City Council minutes

    Minutes from the January 9, 1992 Des Moines City Council meeting include discussion of airport-related noise and emissions issues, as Mayor Kennedy distributed a written report from the National League of Cities Congress noting that airport noise and aircraft emissions fall within the domain of the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources (EENR) Steering Committee. The report also references a vacant seat on the EENR Steering Committee specifically tied to airport issues, including noise and emissions from aircraft, for which the City of Des Moines applied. Membership would require attendance at four EENR Steering Committee meetings per year at a cost of $968 annually for NLC direct member status.
