NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority Board of Directors calls upon the Board of Supervisors to formally terminate any further consideration of alternatives for the expansion of John Wayne Airport; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority and its member communities and organizations will join hands with the communities around John Wayne Airport to oppose expansion of John Wayne Airport and promote community friendly solutions for Orange County’s transportation needs.
