RESOLUTION <br /> A RESOLUTION OPPOSING PROPOSED LARGE AIRCRAFT SECURITY <br /> PROGRAM (LASP) LEGISLATION. <br /> Whereas, general aviation is a vital part of the economy of Batesville and <br /> Independence County, Arkansas, providing jobs, economic growth, education <br /> opportunities and revenue. <br /> Whereas, a great many businesses, individuals and surrounding communities <br /> depend upon general aviation for access to medical treatment, tourism, mobility, <br /> economic opportunity, disaster relief and a wide range of critical resources and <br /> services. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Batesville, located in <br /> Independence County, Arkansas. <br /> THAT, the City of Batesville, Arkansas strongly supports efforts to improve <br /> aviation security, but has serious concerns regarding the Transportation Security <br /> Administration's (TSA) proposed Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP). Including the <br /> following: <br /> 1. The General Aviation community and key stakeholders, including State and local elected <br /> officials, businesses, and others deserve an opportunity to improve the proposal through a <br /> negotiated rulemaking process. <br /> 2. Among the prohibited items are everyday tools. General Aviation aircraft are used to <br /> transport employees to job sites not covered by commercial service. This reduces the <br /> efficiency and utility of General Aviation. <br /> 3. The proposal fails to recognize the vast differences between General Aviation and Commercial <br /> Airline operations. <br /> 4. The burden of implementing and sustaining this new program would fall on the 10,000 aircraft <br /> operators and 315 small airports covered by the proposal at a projected cost of$2.72 Billion <br /> Dollars over a�5 year period. <br /> PASSED q <br /> APPROVED <br /> I n, Rick Elumbaugh, Mayor <br /> ATTEST �!�/ <br />
