This committee is a result of previous studies and recom- mendations. The goal of the Commit- tee is to find innovative ways to fur- ther reduce the impacts from aircraft noise. While significant progress has already been made through insula- tion, acquisition and noise abatement programs, there is always room for improvement. The Committee is mostly made up of citizens and city staff members from local communities. A list of members is shown on Page 2. Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administra- tion, Puget Sound Regional Council, pilots and mechanics also attend the meetings.
