Costa Mesa City Council members Tuesday are set to take on airport noise issues. However, some residents in Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach allege the changes have led to excessive airplane noise that harms their quality of life. During their upcoming meeting, Costa Mesa council members will discuss several options to address concerns with airport noise — such as possibly conducting a comprehensive noise study or hiring a consultant to represent the city in matters related to the airports or the FAA, according to the staff report. Another possible course of action, pitched by Mayor Pro Tem Allan Mansoor, is to consider creating a city committee to advise the council on airport-related issues. A potential airport-related panel isn’t the only committee council members are expected to discuss during the meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. in City Hall, 77 Fair Drive.
