Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 6, "Airports/Aviation," by deleting Section 6-14 "Airport Advisory Committee Created", Section 6-15 "Term of Office and Membership Requirements" and Section 6-16 "Meetings"

Analysis
In the past ten years, the Airport Advisory Committee has met only three times. Airport matters previously directed to the Airport Advisory Committee are currently directed to committees of the City Council, so the continuation of the Airport Advisory Committee is no longer necessary. This ordinance dissolves the Committee and deletes the sections of the Code of Ordinances that relate to the Committee's appointment and operation.
