WESTCHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT REGULATIONS
Harry Stanton gave an overview of the updated regulations for the Westchester County Airport. These changes include some new post 9-11era updates.
Was requested for the County Attorney’s office to look into whether an Act is efficient to make the proposed changes. How will we regulate the behavior of people outside of Westchester County? The county attorney’s office explained we often regulate by act for County property.
It was suggested by Legislator Abinanti that a civil penalty may be more appropriate.
(Pinto, Burton) Move to adjourn the Committee on Public Works, Transportation, Labor and Parks.
Motion to adjourn was passed 5-0. Committee on Public Works adjourned at 1:55 p.m.
