Council Member Leipzig said that <br /> SB 1853 allowed for public hearings to be requested by a city or a county if there <br /> are airport noise violations. He said the bill "is one more piece of ammunition <br /> that the Roundtable and the cities in San Mateo County can use to try to control <br /> the San Francisco Airport. We are not talking about the San Carlos or Half <br /> Moon Bay Airports." <br /> <br /> <br />
