In recognizing the necessity of protecting the public health, safety, and interest in the Oklahoma City-owned airports, and in order to foster, encourage, and insure the economic growth and orderly development of Aeronautical Activities, pursuant to Federal Aviation Administration requirements for federally obligated airports, the Oklahoma City Airport Trust has adopted the following :
