Article III — AIRPORT RULES AND REGULATIONS—GENERAL PROVISIONS

This article applies to each and every person and to each and every activity or operation of any kind whatsoever on, in or about each and every City airport, except to the extent superseded by agreement or other written document executed by a duly authorized representative of the City.

The following words have the meaning ascribed to them in this section unless otherwise apparent from the context:

(a)

Airport means each and all of the airports in the City.

(b)

Airport Manager means the City Airports Director, the manager of any of the City airports, or their duly authorized representatives.

(c)

Person means any individual, estate, political body, or any business, financial, social, recreational or athletic association of any form whatsoever, and includes any member, trustee, agent, employee, officer, receiver, assignee or other representative of any of these.

This chapter shall be construed so as to promote the objectives thereof and to protect and further the public health, safety and welfare.

The provisions of this supersede and replace all previous airport rules and regulations, provided, that to the extent that such provisions are unchanged from such previous rules and regulations, they shall be deemed a continuation thereof.

Noncompliance with or violation of this article is forbidden. Any person operating or handling any aircraft, operating any vehicle, equipment or apparatus, or using the airport or any of its facilities in violation of this chapter or any person who refuses to comply with this chapter after being duly ordered to do so, or any person who enters or remains upon an airport without complying with each and every section and provision of this chapter is in violation of this chapter. A person who is in violation of this chapter does not have, and is acting without, the permission of the City to remain on or to conduct any activity on an airport. Any person who is in violation of this chapter shall be promptly ejected and removed from the airport, upon the order of the City Manager, by the Airport Manager, or by a law enforcement officer acting pursuant to the request of the Airport Manager; provided, however, that if the Airport Manager deems it necessary for the immediate protection of the public health, safety or welfare, or for the protection of property, or for the protection of the health, safety or welfare of any person lawfully utilizing the airport facilities, he may eject and remove, or request an appropriate law enforcement officer to eject and remove, any person who is in violation of this chapter without first obtaining the order of the City's Director of Transportation to do so. Any person who is so ejected and removed from the airport may be deprived of and refused the future use of the airport and of the airport facilities for such time as the City Council may determine and order, and until such time as such person may accomplish to said Council's satisfaction such remedial actions as said Council may order, notwithstanding any rights such person may otherwise have by virtue of any lease, permit or other written document. The foregoing penalties are cumulative and supplemental to any penalties or remedies cognizable at law.

The City, and its agents, officers and employees, assume no liability or responsibility, and shall not be liable or responsible other than as required by law, for any loss, damage, destruction, injury or death to any person or persons or to any property by reason of any accident, incident, occurrence or mishap of any nature whatsoever or from any cause whatsoever. Any person entering an airport, or using or seeking or preparing to use an airport or any airport facility, does so at his own risk.
