This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the authority conferred by Louisiana Revised

that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of the False River
Air Park, and property or occupants of land in its vicinity, and also if of the obstructive
type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for the landing, takeoff, and
maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport
and the public health, public safety, or general welfare. Accordingly, it is declared:
That the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an
injury to the region served by the False River Air Park, and
That it is necessary in the interest of the public health, public safety, or the general
welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented, and
That the prevention of these hazards should be accomplished to the extent legally
possible by the exercise of police power without compensation.
It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of
airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and
lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which a political subdivision
may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or interests in land.
