Noise violation fees and Cambodian New Year

JetBlue Noise Ordinance violation fees approach quarter million dollar mark for 1st part of 2016

In response to growing noise complaints, Fourth District Councilman Daryl Supernaw released in this week's 4th District weekly newsletter, the paid fee violation totals for JetBlue's ongoing violations of the Long Beach Noise Ordinance.

In the first three months of 2016,  JetBlue has racked up a total of $246,900 according to figures from  Long Beach City Prosecutor Doug Haubert's office cited in the Supernaw newsletter. (Click on NEWSLETTER)

Just in March, the figures show that JetBlue racked up $114,900 in Noise Ordinance violation fees. That March total is 46.5% of the total JetBlue fees for its 2016 noise ordinance violations.

So far in 2016, every month has shown an increase in Noise Ordnance violation fees paid by JetBlue.

In January JetBlue paid $48,000 in Noise Ordinance violation fees (19.4% of 2016 total) and in February those fees were $84,000 (34.1% of the 2016 total).

The February 2016  Noise Ordinance violation fees paid by JetBlue represent a 75% increase over their January violation fees.  The March 2016 Noise Ordinance violation fees paid by JetBlue represent a 36.8% increase over the February fees and a 139.4% increase over the January violation fees the airline paid.  

The Noise Ordinance sets the fees for violations.  Legal experts agree that any attempt to invrease the fees could jepodize the Noise Ordinance.
