BACKGROUND
Specifically, the owner cities approval would update the following codes:
• This action will approve revisions to Chapter 3 of the Code of Rules and Regulations of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Board as follows:
Delete the phrase “using their voice directed at members of the public in a manner that causes a breach of the peace to the public;” from Section 3-25(m).
Delete the phrase "in any way" from Section 3-25(n).
• The changes were proposed during the September 16, 2024, meeting of the city of Dallas' Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
This item was briefed and approved by the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Board at the November 14, 2024, meeting. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Board is requesting that the Owner Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth approve of amendments to Chapter 3 of the Airport Board’s Code of Rules and Regulations as follows:
This action will approve revisions to Chapter 3 of the Code of Rules and Regulations of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Board as follows:
• Section 3-25(o) is deleted in its entirety;
• Section 3-25(p) becomes the new Section 3-25(o);
• The phrase “in any way” is deleted from Section 3-25(o).
The Airport Board approved these amendments at its November 14, 2024, meeting, by Resolution No. 2024-11-294. Resolution 2024-11-294 contains typographic errors in referencing the sections to be amended - it references Section 3-25(n) twice instead of Section 3-25(o) and the new Section 3-25(o). The DFW Board, through its legal counsel, confirmed that the intent was to reference Section 3-25(o) and the new Section 3-25(o); stated its belief that despite the typographical errors the Board clearly approved the substance of the changes; and noted that the clean and redlined versions of the code of Rules and Regulations that were attached to the Resolution and presented to the Board were correct.
In accordance with the Contract and Agreement of 1968, any amendments to the Airport Board’s Codee of Rules and Regulations require approval of the Owner Cities Attachments showing the proposed amendments to Chapter 3 and the approved Official Board Action will be provided for this agenda item.
