Burbank, Calif., council to try again for airport pact
The Los Angeles (CA) Daily News

BURBANK, Calif. — After meeting seven hours on a proposal to govern future development at Bob Hope Airport, the City Council failed to reach agreement early Wednesday and will try again next week.

While the flood waters have receded, the silt left behind from the flood at the Corona Airport remains. Many hangars on the West End of the field were more than 10 foot underwater. Silt, in some areas reaching 8-10 inches, covers everything. Water, electric and sewer have been non-existent since January 11. City crews are working to get water and sewer back on-line, with hopes of achieving this goal by Friday, January 21.

AOPA yesterday filed a freedom of information request with the City of Rialto, California, challenging plans to downsize or close Art Scholl Memorial/Rialto Municipal Airport.
