Gillfillan 1 web3O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) Chair and Mount Prospect Mayor Arlene A. Juracek was named as the recipient of the Walt Gillfillan Award on March 4, 2019 at the UC Davis Aviation Noise & Emissions Symposium held in Jacksonville, Florida. The award is presented annually to an individual or organization whose exemplary achievements and contributions to noise abatement in aviation deserve special recognition.

“I am truly honored to receive this award, which would not have been possible without the commitment and regional stewardship of the full ONCC membership and the Chicago Department of Aviation,” said Juracek. “I also commend the FAA for its longstanding dedication in the Chicago region to community involvement.”

The Fly Quiet Committee met on February 19, 2019.

CDA Consultants provided an update on the operational questions. A response had been received from the FAA on the question of the possibility of operating the North and South runway operations at night. The FAA responded that they could not comment until a proposal is submitted for review. They did note that opening either tower would require additional FAA tower staff.

At the March 22 meeting, CDA expects to have additional feedback from the FAA as well as new material and alternatives for the committee to review.
