BACKGROUND INFORMATION
For the 14th year, the Aseana Foundation will produce a Spring and Fall Festival in the
Asian Gardens located at 800 Milam Street in downtown Shreveport. The Asian
Gardens are a celebration of a variety of Asian countries with sculptures, plants, trees,
and art that reflect the diversity of each nation represented. The funding for all the plant
materials and sculptures as well as most of the labor to install and maintain the gardens
are donated to the City of Shreveport by the members of the Aseana Foundation. This
public/private partnership is a wonderful example of organizations working together
towards a common goal. The festivals that the Aseana Foundation produces feature a
specific Asian country or region each time and focus on their music, dance, food, art,
and customs. These festivals draw thousands and are free for the public to attend. The
assistance given by the City will help solidify funding for a successful event as it
continues to grow and positively impact the community.

The continuation of this Agreement is contingent upon the appropriation and
release of sufficient funds to the OCD to fulfill the requirements of this Agreement.

1701u (Section 3), 24 CFR §75, and 85 FRN 2020 19183-85, and any directives,

nonmetropolitan county) in which the project is located: (1) employment and training
opportunities arising in connection with Section 3 Projects are provided to Section 3
Workers ; and (2) contracts for work awarded in connection with Section 3 Projects
are provided to business concerns that provide economic opportunities to Section 3

Program Income
1.

Recording Program Income
Grantee shall submit a quarterly report to the OCD detailing receipt of
program income, which is defined in 24 CFR 570.500(a).

Remittance of Program Income
All program income shall be remitted to the OCD pursuant to a schedule
provided by the OCD, unless Grantee has received written approval from
OCD for eligible program income activities to use the program income.

Use and Reversion of Assets
The use and disposition of immovable property, equipment and remaining Grant
Funds under this Agreement shall be in compliance with all CDBG regulations,
which include but are not limited to the following:
1.

Grantee shall transfer to the OCD any Grant Funds on hand and any accounts
receivable attributable to the use of funds under this Agreement at the time
of expiration, cancellation, or termination.

Immovable property under Grantee’s control that was acquired or improved,
in whole or in part, with funds under this Agreement in excess of $25,000
shall be used to meet one of the CDBG National Objectives set forth in 24
CFR 570.208 until five (5) years after the closeout of the individual projects
associated with the particular immovable property or expiration of this
Agreement, whichever occurs first (or such longer period as the OCD deems
14

Page 81 of 254

appropriate). If Grantee fails to use such immovable property in a manner
that meets a CDBG National Objective for the prescribed period of time,
Grantee shall pay to the OCD an amount equal to the current fair market
value of the property less any portion of the value attributable to expenditures
of non-CDBG funds for the acquisition of, or improvement to, the property.
Such payment shall constitute program income to the OCD. Grantee may
retain real property acquired or improved under this Agreement after the
expiration of the five-year period, or such longer period as the OCD deems
appropriate.
3.

In all cases in which equipment acquired, in whole or in part, with Grant
Funds is sold, the proceeds shall be program income (prorated to reflect the
extent to which funds received under this Agreement were used to acquire
the equipment). Equipment not needed by Grantee for activities under this
Agreement shall be (a) transferred to the OCD for the CDBG program or
(b) retained by Grantee after compensating the OCD an amount equal to the
current fair market value of the equipment less the percentage of non-CDBG
funds used to acquire the equipment.

If Grantee is not the owner of the immovable property being acquired or improved,
in whole or in part, with the Grant Funds, Grantee shall acquire sufficient interest
and site control over the property to allow the use of CDBG funds for improvement
of a non-owned property, within the timeframe mandated by any applicable award
letter or within any timeframe established by OCD before or during this Agreement.
Grantee shall submit the terms of such interest to OCD to confirm that the interests
are sufficient. The interests shall be through a written agreement via authentic act
with the owner of the immovable property acknowledging and consenting to the
use restrictions required by 24 CFR 570.505 and as contained in this Agreement
and agreeing that the property shall be bound by such use restrictions. In addition,
if immovable property being acquired or improved, in whole or in part, with the
Grant Funds is leased or subleased by Grantee to a third party, Grantee shall
contractually insure that the lessee/subleasee is bound by the use restrictions
contained in 24 CFR 570.505 and as contained in this Agreement.

Fund Use
Grantee agrees not to use proceeds from this Agreement to urge any elector to vote
for or against any candidate or proposition on an election ballot nor shall such funds
be used to lobby for or against any proposition or matter having the effect of law

Subcontractors
Grantee may, with prior written permission from the OCD, enter into subcontracts

parties hereby agree that any non-compete agreement or similar agreement with
any Subcontractors seeking to restrain the ability of the Subcontractors to perform
any services for the OCD shall be deemed unenforceable, null and void, to the
extent of such non-compete provision, but without invalidating the remaining
provisions of the contract with the Subcontractor.
Subcontracts shall not include language which restricts the Grantee’s obligation to
pay for services performed or materials provided under a subcontract to when the
Grantee has been paid under this Agreement, except for circumstances where the
reason for the lack of payment to the Grantee is due to deficient performance or
lack of performance by the particular subcontractor from which the Grantee seeks
to withhold payment. In the event a subcontract contains such language in
contravention of this requirement, Grantee shall not enforce such language.

management must be followed, as applicable. With respect to flood insurance, a HUD-assisted
homeowner for a property located in a SFHA must obtain and maintain flood insurance in the
amount and duration prescribed by FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program. Section 102(a)
of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 U.S.CA § 4012a) mandates the purchase of
flood insurance protection for any HUD-assisted property within the SPHA.
27.

financially assisted by the Federal government or sold by the government. This regulation
applies only to structures built prior to 1978.

29.

It will comply with the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. §6901, et seq.).

supporting in any way, or providing financial assistance for, licensing or permitting, or
approving any activity which does not conform to the State implementation plan for national
primary and secondary ambient air quality standards.

31.

In relation to water quality, it will comply with:
a.

The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. §§ 201, 300(f) et seq. and U.S.C.
§349), as amended, particularly Section 1424(e) (42 U.S.C. §§ 300h-303(e)), which
is intended to protect underground sources of water. No commitment for federal
financial assistance can be entered into for any project which the U.S. Environmental
31

Page 98 of 254

Protection Agency determines may contaminate an aquifer which is the sole or
principal draining water source for an area; and
b.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as amended, including the Clear
Water Act of 1977, Public Law 92-212 (33 U.S.C. §1251, et seq.) which provides
for the restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical and biological integrity
of the nation’s water.

33.

With regard to wildlife, it will comply with:
a.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. §1531 et seq.).
Federally authorized and funded projects must not jeopardize the continued
existence of endangered and threatened species or result in the destruction of or
modification of habitat of such species which is determined by the U.S. Department
of the Interior, after consultation with the state, to be critical; and

The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, as amended, (16 U.S.C. §661 et
seq.) which requires that wildlife conservation receives equal consideration and is
coordinated with other features of water resource development programs.

Page 99 of 254

Signing these assurances means that Applicant/Grantee/Sub recipient agrees to implement its
program in accordance with these provisions. Failure to comply can result in serious audit
and/or monitoring findings that require repayment of funds to the State or expending
Applicant/Grantee/Sub recipient funds to correct deficiencies.

employee of the Government while acting within the scope of his office or employment under
circumstances where a private person would be liable in accordance with the law of the place where the
act or omission occurred. The foregoing shall not be deemed to extend the Government's liability beyond
that existing under the Act at the time of such act or omission or to preclude the Government from using
any defense available in law or equity.
6.3.33 Covenant Against Contingent Fees (09/2020)

A. The Government agrees, in consideration of the warranties and conditions set forth in this clause, that
this contract is subject and subordinate to any and all recorded mortgages, deeds of trust and other liens
now or hereafter existing or imposed upon the premises, and to any renewal, modification or extension
thereof. It is the intention of the parties that this provision shall be self-operative and that no further
instrument shall be required to effect the present or subsequent subordination of this contract. Based on a
written demand received by the RECO, the Government will review and, if acceptable, execute such
instruments as the contractor may reasonably request to evidence further the subordination of this contract
to any existing or future mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest pertaining to the premises, and
to any water, sewer or access easement necessary or desirable to serve the premises or adjoining property
owned in whole or in part by the contractor if such easement does not interfere with the full enjoyment of
any right granted the Government under this contract.
B. No such subordination, to either existing or future mortgages, deeds of trust or other lien or security
instrument shall operate to affect adversely any right of the Government under this contract so long as the
Government is not in default under this contract. Contractor will include in any future mortgage, deed of
trust or other security instrument to which this contract becomes subordinate, or in a separate nondisturbance agreement, a provision to the foregoing effect. Contractor warrants that the holders of all
notes or other obligations secured by existing mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments have
consented to the provisions of this clause, and agrees to provide true copies of all such consents to the
RECO promptly upon demand.
C. In the event of any sale of the premises or any portion thereof by foreclosure of the lien of any such
mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument, or the giving of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
Government will be deemed to have attorned to any purchaser, purchasers, transferee or transferees of the
premises or any portion thereof and its or their successors and assigns, and any such purchasers and
transferees will be deemed to have assumed all obligations of the contractor under this contract, so as to
establish direct privity of estate and contract between Government and such purchasers or transferees,

entered into between such purchasers or transferees and the Government; provided, further, that the
RECO and such purchasers or transferees shall, with reasonable promptness following any such sale or
deed delivery in lieu of foreclosure, execute all such revisions to this contract, or other writings, as shall
be necessary to document the foregoing relationship.
D. None of the foregoing provisions may be deemed or construed to imply a waiver of the Government's
rights as a sovereign.

If the Lessor sells, dies or becomes incapacitated, or otherwise conveys to another party or parties any
interest in the aforesaid land, rights of way thereto, and any areas affecting the premises, the Government

of the change in property rights. Concurrent with the written notification, the Lessor or Lessor’s heirs,
representatives, assignees, or trustees shall provide the Government copies of the associated legal
document(s) (acceptable to local authorities) for transferring and/or conveying the property rights.

resolution system at the Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (ODRA) and will be governed by
the procedures set forth in 14 C.F.R. Parts 14 and 17, which are hereby incorporated by reference. Judicial
review, where available, will be in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 46110 and will apply only to final agency
decisions. A Lessor may seek review of a final Government decision only after its administrative
remedies have been exhausted.

White Paper – Low Level Windshear Alert System –

Survey
Shreveport Regional Airport, LA (SHV)

Survey Date: 9 January 2020
Report Date: 21 January 2020

Page 125 of 254

Background
There are currently plans for an 850ft extension to Runway 06 at SHV. With the proposed extension, the
runway will not be properly protected by the Low Level Windshear Alert System (LLWAS) in accordance
with the Siting Order (FAA Order 6560.21A). The LLWAS Siting Order states that the protection must be
provided out to a point 2,500 feet beyond the runway threshold. With an 850 foot extension, protection
will only be provided out to 2,300 feet. Based on this information, one additional sensor will be required
with the runway extension. The purpose of this report is to document potential sites for the additional
remote station.

Analysis
A formal site survey was conducted at SHV on 9 January 2020 with representatives from AJW-1444 and
Central Service Area (CSA) NAS Planning & Integration. A thorough search was performed to identify
potential sites that would meet the siting requirements set forth in FAA Order 6560.21A. These potential
sites were surveyed and documented and make up the remainder of this report.

Conclusions/Recommendations
In order for SHV LLWAS-RS to comply with FAA Order 6560.21A, an additional remote station should be
located at either the preferred site, alternate site, or within the site search area described in this report.
If a site cannot be acquired at either of the preferred or alternate sites, it is imperative that the LLWAS
Siting Meteorologist be contacted at (405) 954-0974. In the case of this system, slight deviations from
location recommendations could severely impact the operations of the SHV LLWAS-RS. Constructing
the new pole at a different location without first coordinating with the LLWAS Siting Meteorologist could
result in the construction of a useless site. Such construction would be both costly and time consuming.

SITING GUIDELINES FOR LOW LEVEL WINDSHEAR ALERT SYSTEM
(LLWAS) REMOTE FACILITIES

1.
PURPOSE. This order transmits siting guidelines for locating
sites and determining pole heights for Low Level Windshear Alert
System (LLWAS) remote anemometer stations (appendixes 1-3).
2.
DISTRIBUTION.
This order is distributed to branch level in
the Program Engineering Service and to division level in the System
Maintenance Service in Washington headquarters; to branch level in
the regional Airway Facili t·ies divisions (except AAL and AEU); to
branch level in the FAA Depot and Facility Support Division at the
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center; and to Director level at the FAA
Technical Center.
3.
CANCELLATION. Order 6560.21, Siting Guidelines for Low Level
Wind Shear Alert System (LLWAS) Remote Facilities, dated 2/19/88,
is canceled.
4.
BACKGROUND. The LLWAS is designed to detect the existence of
horizontal windshear conditions on an airport and around its
perimeter and to alert controllers when these conditions are
hazardous. The system consists of an array of remote anemometers
and the base station processing and display equipment (located in
the air traffic control tower building). Communication between the
remote sites and the base station will be via radio links unless
landlines are readily available.
5.
SITING GUIDELINES.
Proper siting is essential for an
effective LLWAS, but often complex to implement. The LLWAS project
office has initiated several different approaches to assist in
proper siting of sensors.
a.
Appendix 1 presents general considerations for siting
LLWAS. To further assist regions, a joint team of LLWAS engineers
from FAA headquarters and the FAA Technical Center are available
to resolve problems resulting from site-unique situations.
b.
Appendix 2 gives detailed guidelines for the design of
the anemometer array on and around the airport.
In addition, the
Flight Information Systems Branch, ACN-230, will prepare an initial
layout of proposed sensor locations at each airport based on maps,
aerial photos, site surveys, and knowledge of idealized arrays for
microburst detection.

GENERAL SITING CONSIDERATIONS

1. INTRODUCTION
The effectiveness of the Low Level Windshear Alert System (LLWAS)
is dependent not only on the reliability of the electronic
equipment but also the location of the wind sensors and their
electronic packages. Adherence to the guidelines for sensor
geometry in Appendix 2 and for siting with respect to
obstructions and terrain in Appendix 3 will insure that the LLWAS
operates as designed.
Improper siting of the wind sensors will
create false alarms and significantly degrade the performance of
the wind shear algorithm. A properly sited system will
accurately detect, identify and locate wind shear events,
including microbursts, and provide a reasonable estimation of the
wind component affecting aircraft performance. The present
requirement is for 6 to 22 or more wind sensors on or around an
airport. The number varies with the number of runways and their
length.
2.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

The methodology in designing an LLWAS installation at an airport
must include consideration for the optimum performance of the
system:

Maintain the required geometry for the sensor array.

Adhere to spacing requirements.

Minimize the influence of terrain and obstructions.

LOGISTICAL CONSTRAINTS

Logistical constraints that are considered important are:
a.

Penetrations of FAR Part 77 surfaces, Terminal
Instrument Procedures (FAA Directive No. 8260.3B)
surfaces, and Airport Design Standards surfaces per
Advisory Circulars Nos. 150/5300-2C, 150/5300-4B, and
150/5300-12 by the placement of poles in the vicinity
of an airport. Prior to installation, an airspace
study must be accomplished to maintain/determine
possible effects on protected surfaces for existing and

will provide initial layout for those airports with an
installed LLWAS.

Adjust layout for obvious terrain and obstruction
problems (use aerial photographs and topographical
maps).

GEOMETRIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE SITING OF LLWAS

INTRODUCTION

The original Low Level Windshear Alert System (LLWAS) has been
enhanced for the detection of microburst and windshear events and
has several additional capabilities. These improvements will now
be known as the LLWAS Network Expansion. To achieve these
improvements, more care will be taken in the design of an LLWAS
station geometry at an airport.
There are three major tasks for the new LLWAS Network
Expansion:
(1)

Detect, identify, and locate microburst and windshear
events along and near the runways;

(2)

Estimate the runway component of wind speed loss
resulting from a microburst windshear event.

(3)

Sense and report centerfield and approach/departure
winds.

Studies show that any geometry that is satisfactory for the
identification of microbursts is also satisfactory for the
detection of general windshear events. However, to obtain
accurate runway component estimates, there is less freedom in the
design of the station geometry, especially with regard to the
distance of the stations from the runway centerline.
Generally speaking, there is a great deal of latitude in the
design of the geometries for the detection and identification of
windshear events. Unfortunately, not only are the requirements
for the runway component estimations more strict, but when they
are violated, the accuracy of the estimations degrades rather
rapidly. While it is difficult to quantify these effects,
guidance is given in section 2.
2. GENERAL PRINCIPLES
The Network Expansion LLWAS algorithm detects windshear by
applying statistic?~ principles to the wind data from the entire
network. The algorithm identifies microburst events by
estimating wind field derivatives from data from the vertices of
triangles, which are formed by the station positions. The
triangle geometry is also used for the estimation of the runway
component of wind speed lossjgain. These algorithms and the

Page 1

Page 139 of 254

6560.21A
Appendix 2

12/4/89

geometries, for which they give the best results, have been
analyzed theoretically and have been extensively tested by
computer simulation. Operational testing was conducted during
August 1987 at Denver, co.
Aircraft are most vulnerable to a microburst encounter while on
the runway and during departure and final approach.
The LLWAS
allocated protection region is that portion of the flight path
inside of the middle markers, and this discussion is confined to
the detection of microbursts and windshear events on that portion
of the runway path.
For a 10,000 foot runway and with a 2,500
foot extension at either end of the runway, the total length of
the protected path is 15,000 feet.
Pilots desire a reliable estimate of the headwind lossjgain that
they can expect to encounter along their runway path; this
lossjgain is called the runway component of the windshear.
It is
used as an estimate of the severity of the expected impact of a
microburstjwindshear on their operations. This product will be
available from a properly sited LLWAS, during the Network
Expansion phase of the program.
A microburst located with its center only a short distance to
either side of the aircraft flight path can have a significant
adverse effect on aircraft performance. This effect is most
pronounced when the microburst center is within 2,500 feet of the
centerline of the flight path. One design goal for LLWAS is to
detect any microburst whose center is within 2,500 feet to either
side of the centerline of a runway,and its extension to the
middle marker (approximately 2,500 feet from the end of the
runway).
For a typical runway that is 10,000 feet long, this
means that a rectangular region 15,000 feet long and 5,000 feet
wide needs to be protected. This protection region is indicated
in figure 2-1.
Since the winds are nearly calm at the center, a microburst whose
center nearly coincides with a station is very difficult to
detect by this sensor and most likely will be detected by an
adjacent station.
If the stations are properly sited, then it is
unlikely that there will be a delayed detection of a hazardous
microburst. On the other hand, the radius of the strong outflow
of a microburst can be as small as 5,000 feet.
Therefore, if the
stations are placed too far apart, it is possible for a
microburst to occur between the stations and not be observed
until the microburst outflow reaches a station.
If the station
spacing is no larger than 8,500 feet, then most microbursts that
occur in the network will be promptly detected.
The runway

Appendix 2

component estimations are also severely degraded when the
microburst center is near a station in a "blind spot". These
"blind spots" extend approximately one-eighth of the way to the
nearby stations; for example, if the stations are 8,000 feet
apart, then the "blind spots" are approximately disks of radius
1,000 feet.
3.

THE DESIGN OF THE LLWAS GEOMETRY FOR AN AIRPORT

Most airports have several runways. LLWAS protects the airport
when it protects each runway.
Economies can be achieved by
choosing the stations sites so that some stations provide
protection to more than one runway.
If this were not done, then
an airport with two runways would require twelve stations, an
airport with three runways would require eighteen stations, etc.
By designing for shared use of sensors, airports might be
protected with as few as eight or nine stations (Figures 2-2 and
2-3). These examples also illustrate acceptable relaxation of
the strict design guidelines that are given in this section.
When trying to design an improved LLWAS installation for a
complex airport that has an existing LLWAS installation, the
combination of attempting to achieve multiple uses of the
stations and to make use of existing stations may lead to designs
where more than six stations are involved in protecting some
runways.
The initial problem at most LLWAS airports will be resiting some
or all of the original six anemometers to achieve optimum
coverage for the runways while facilitating the siting of
additional sensors.
Figure 2-4 shows six stations providing
coverage for three runways.
Later when three more stations are
added full coverage will be realized. The guiding concept in
resiting any of the original six stations is to preclude having
to resite any of these stations when additional sensors are
installed.
3.1

THE PROTECTION OF RUNWAYS

In this section, a procedure is provided for designing a station
geometry that protects runways. Some allowable practical
variations are discussed.
Reliable and timely microburst detection and identification is a
fundamental requirement of LLWAS. To obtain satisfactory
performance, it is advisable to keep the stations approximately
2,500 to 3,000 feet to either side of the runway path. The
Page 3

Page 141 of 254

6560.21A
Appendix 2

12/4/8~

system will perform satisfactorily most of the time if a station
is as close as 1,000 feet from the runway path. If a $tation is
less than 1,000 feet from the runway path, then there can be
microbursts centered on the runway path for which detection may
be significantly delayed.
To achieve reliable runway component estimates, the design
requirements are more stringent than those for microburst
detection and identification.
If the stations are placed between
2,500 and 3,000 feet to either side ~f the runway path, then
runway components can reasonably be estimated. If the design
departs significantly (<2,000 feet or >3,500 feet) from this
guideline, then there can be microbursts which impact the runway,
and for which the runway component estimates are significantly in
error. For example, stations placed 3,500 to 4,000 feet from the
runway can lead to underestimations of the runway components by
as much as 15 to 20 knots.
When stations are placed closer to
the runway, underestimations of similar magnitude are to be
expected in the "blind spots".
It is also important that the protection region be covered by the
triangle pattern. With the nearly regular triangles specified,
the entire region inside of each triangle is protected, except
for the "blind spot" near the station.
In addition, a
rectangular region is protected along each edge of a triangle.
This region extends along the edge to within one-eighth of the
distance to each endpoint and 1,000 feet to either side of the
edge. In particular, it is again the "blind spots" that are not
covered. The covered region is indicated in figure 2-5.
3.1.2

THE PROTECTION OF A SINGLE RUNWAY

In this section, a graphical procedure is shown in figure 2-1 for
designing a station geometry that protects a single runway.
Parallel runways which have their centerlines less than 2000 feet
apart are treated as single runways.
3.1.3

THE PROTECTION OF PARALLEL RUNWAYS

In this section, a graphical procedure is shown in figure 2-8 for
designing a station geometry that protects parallel runways.
Parallel runways are defined as a pair of runways whose
centerlines are greater than 2000 feet apart.

Appendix 2
THE PROTECTION OF DIAGONAL RUNWAYS

An example is seen for the diagonal runway in figure 2-3.
Figure
2-6 shows the stations protecting this diagonal runway, the
triangle pattern, and the "blind spots" for this diagonal runway.
In this case, the basic principles regarding station spacing,
triangle shape, and distance of the stations from the runway
apply.
3.2

DESIGN METHODOLOGY

An effective design of a station geometry for the protection of
an airport can be obtained as follows.
STEP 1:

DRAW THE PROTECTION REGION FOR EACH RUNWAY.
The protection region is a rectangle that extends 2,500
feet beyond each end of the runway and 2,500 feet to
each side of the centerline of the runway (see figure
2-1). Rectangular patterns are most effective but are
not imperative.

STEP 2:

SELECT THE STATION POSITIONS.
The following conditions should be satisfied:
(1)

Stations should be between 2,000 and 3,500
feet to either side of the runway.

(2a) The spacing between adjacent stations along
the runway should be greater than 3,280 feet
but less than 7,550 feet.
(2b) For airports that will also have a Terminal
Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR), the spacing
between adjacent stations along the runway
should be greater than 3,280 feet but less
than 9,500 feet.
(3)

The triangles formed by nearby stations
should be fairly regular, i.e., no triangle
should have an angle smaller than 25 degrees
or greater than 135 degrees.

(4)

Designate one site, the most central part of

Page 5

Page 143 of 254

6560.21A
Appendix 2

12/4/89

the airport, as the centerfield wind sensor.
It is advisable to keep the centerfield wind
sensor at least 1,000 feet away from all
runways.
(5)

STEP 3:

Number stations starting at the designated
centerfield wind sensor (1} and then
clockwise from north through northwest.

DETERMINE THE "BLIND SPOTS" AND THE PROTECTED AREAS.
It is possible to graphically estimate the size and
shape of the "blind spots". \.,sing the fact that the
"blind spot" extends approximately one-eighth of the
distance along each edge of a triangle, we have the
following graphical procedure:
(1)
(2}
(3)
(4)

Draw the triangle pattern.
Mark the one-eighth distance positions on the
edges of the triangles.
Roughly sketch the perimeters of these "blind
spots".
Sketch areas protected by the edge rectangles
(1,000 feet beyond the edge and between the
"blind spots", see Figure 2-5).

Then the overlap of the "blind spots" with the
protection region for the runway is the area where
hazardous microbursts may not be detected in a timely
manner. Significant underestimations of the runway
components can be expected in regions that are
approximately one and a half times as large as the
"blind spots".
STEP 4:

DETERMINE THE PORTION OF THE PROTECTION REGION THAT IS
UNPROTECTED.
This area is the portion of the protection region that
is either inside of a "blind spot" or is not covered by
the pattern of station triangles and edge rectangles.
The unprotected portion of the protection region should
be shaded.

STEP 5:

Page 6

USE THE GRAPHICAL DISPLAY OF THE UNPROTECTED PORTION OF
THE AIRPORT TO DETERMINE IF THE COVERAGE IS
SATISFACTORY.

Page 144 of 254

12/4/89

6560.21A
Appendix 2
This is a question of judgement, based on knowledge of
the difficulty of the problems for this airport.

With this design, any microburst, whose center is within the
unshaded portion of the protection region will be detected in a
timely manner with high probability.
If the stations lie within
or close to the 2,000 to 3,500 foot strip, then the runway
component estimations will be acceptably accurate. One
acceptable design, the Ideal Station Geometry, is shown in figure
2-1.
To illustrate the shading of the unprotected part of the
protection region (step 4), we considered a case that is typical
of many existing LLWAS installations. Figure 2-7A shows a
station near the center of the runway and 'middle marker'
stations at the ends of the runway.
Figure 2-7B shows an
enhancement that has been obtained by adding another station near
runway center.
Figure 2-7B also shows the consequence of the
shading (step 4). Note that there will be delayed detections of
microbursts at the runway ends and close to runway center.

GUIDELINES FOR SITING INDIVIDUAL LLWAS ANEMOMETERS

INTRODUCTION

This appendix provides the rationale and supporting criteria for
siting individual anemometers. Step-by-step procedures are
included and specific examples with a sample format are provided.
2.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

The procedures used in siting individual anemometers (after the
geometric layout has been determined) also must include
consideration for the optimum performance of the system:

The least sheltered anemometer is the standard against
which sheltering at others is evaluated.

Sheltering at an anemometer from all effects should not
exceed twenty (20) percent.

Insure that the mounting supports do not block the
anemometer. The structure on which the anemometer is
mounted should be reduced to a minimum to prevent local
wakes or flow accelerations from impinging on the
anemometer. Care should be taken to insure that
warning lights, etc. are not placed on the same level
as the anemometer and that lightning rods are of a
small diameter (~1.5") and located at an adequate
distance (~18.0") from the propeller of the anemometer.

Units must be consistent when taking measurements and
doing calculations.

When unique situations at an individual anemometer site
arise that are not covered by these criteria, then
assistance should be requested from the FAA Technical
Center, Surveillance and Weather Systems Branch, ACN
230.

SITING PROCEDURES AND CRITERIA

This section provides criteria and supporting information and
outlines a step-by-step procedure for siting individual
anemometers. Specific examples with a suggested format and a
Page l

Page 154 of 254

6560.21A
Appendix 3

12/4/89

list of notations and terms are included at the end of this
section. It is important to be able to properly identify the
obstruction(s).
3.1

Three-Dimensional Obstacles

Three-dimensional obstacles include single trees, groups of
trees, individual buildings, groups of buildings, hangars, fuel
or water tanks, or billboards. Three dimensional obstacles have
a width of less than ten times their height.
3.1.1

Computing the Percent Sheltering

The following measurements are needed from the obstacle geometry;
(1) X, distance from obstacle, (2) H, obstacle height, and (3) W,
obstacle width. The parameter a, know as the power-law exponent,
defines the roughness of the environment between obstacle and the
anemometer (see table 3-1).
The velocity deficit represented by (u 0 -u)ju0 is the fractional
sheltering or specified error in wind measurement due to
sheltering by an obstacle. A graphical procedure to estimate
(u 0 -U)/U 0 is shown in figures 3-1 and 3-2 for open country
(a=0.15) and suburban (a=0.25) environments, respectively.
Example:
Given Measurements: H = 120 ft, W = 200 ft, X = 960 ft,
H/W = 0.6, and X/H = 8.
Solution: Since an open-country environment is anticipated
for a site, Figure 3-1 will be used. Enter the
top graph of Figure 3-1 at H = 120 ft. Move right
to the 0.6 curve for H/W. Move down to the lower
graph on vertical line to X/H = 8. Move 1~ft to
read 18% for error.
3.1.2

Computing the "Reduced Distance" XR From an Obstacle

Figure 3-3 provides a means for selecting a "reduced distance" XR
from an obstacle at which an anemometer may be installed at any
desired height with a desired specified error, (u 0 -u)/U 0 •

Computing Optimal Anemometer Height

In some situations it may be necessary to alternatively consider
the height of a sensor for acceptable error when the anemometer
must be placed sufficiently close to the object (in the wake)
that acceptable errors cannot be obtained at an arbitrary
elevation using the method described above.
It is first
necessary to compute the "reduced distance" XR.
step 1

Compute

o by:

o = 367 + 3333a
Where o, the boundary layer thickness, is in feet
and a, the power-law exponent, is estimated from
Table 3-1.
step 2

Compute

XR by:

For X, distance from obstacle, H, barrier height,
W, barrier width, o from Step 1, a from table 3-1,
and a 5 equals 0.25 (typical suburban power-law
exponent).

step 3

3.2

Figure 3-3 provides the contours of equal error
(u 0 -u)ju0 in percent form as a function of XR and
Z/H. Once a XR is obtained,
enter figure 3-4 to
determine an acceptable elevation (Z/H) for the
anemometer. Either contours (curves) or suggested
zones (rectangular) may be used.
Example,
if
XR=1.2, then for 20% sheltering, Z/H=2.00.

Two-Dimensional Obstacles

Two-dimensional obstacles include fences, rows of trees, hedges,
long buildings, or bridges. Two-dimensional obstacles have a
height/width of less than 0.1, where the width is perpendicular
to the wind.

Forest Canopies

A forest canopy is define as a grouping of trees (from the
perspective of the Remote Station) that is more than 700-800 feet
wide and more than 300 feet deep. Otherwise, it is classified as
either a three-dimensional or two-dimensional obstacle.

Page 9

6560.21A
Appendix 3

12/4/89

3.3.1 Computing Optimal Anemometer Height For Wind Speeds Above
a Forest Canopy (Long Fetch)
Where a forest extends upwind from the Remote Station for a
distance B at least 100 times the average tree height, a
procedure assuming that the boundary layer above the forest has
reached equilibrium is used.
Figure 3-6 provides a plot of the ratio of the velocity ur
at height Zr above the mean for~st height d over the rough
(r) forest surface, to the velc=i~y u 5 at height z 5 (which
might be 20 ft) above a smooth (s open field unaffected by
obstructions.
This ratio is plotted in figure 3-6 for comparison with an
anemometer in the smooth open terrain at an elevation of 20
feet.
A reasonable guide to values of ar are:
0.24 < ar ~ 0.25

For dense forest of relatively uniform
height on smooth height.
For dense forest of relatively non
uniform height or breaks on smooth
terrain.

0.28 < ar ~ 0.29

For dense forest of relatively non
uniform height or with breaks on rough
terrain.

This procedure should overestimate anemometer heights if the
length of forest is short, B/d < 100.
Example:

Given: select an anemometer height in a forest
environment on smooth terrain where tree heights
are relatively uniform and where average tree
height d = 50 ft. Assume the anemometer is to
read not more than 20% less than an open-country
anemometer at 20 feet.
Solution: from Figure 3-6, select ar = 0.24 and
move vertically to Ur/U 5 = 0.8. Read Zr = 45 ft.
Therefore, the elevation of the anemometer above
ground should be d + Zr = 95 ft.

3.3.2 Computing Optimal Anemometer Height For Wind Shelter
Downwind of a Forest Canopy (Long Fetch)
Downwind of a forest area, over an open field, the boundary layer
recovers from that over the forest to that over an open field.
Very little data have been found in the literature for this case.
Because of the small number of cases available in the literature,
wind tunnel tests were run to provide additional data for these
criteria.
Data obtained from the wind-tunnel simulation of 64 forest wakes
are summarized in figure 3-7 to show the decrease in anemometer
error with distance from the forest and height of the anemometer
above ground. The figure shows that the height required to
obtain a particular error remains similar to that at the
downstream edge of the forest (see figure 3-7) for a distance Xn
of 0.025 before decreasing with additional downwind distance.
Example:

Given: at a distance X downwind of a forest of length B
= 1000 ft with trees of roughly uniform height
averaging d = 30 ft, find the anemometer height
required to provide an error of no more than 20% in
comparison to the same site with unlimited upwind
exposure of the same roughness (i.e., no forest).
The
site is in an open grassy field.
Solve for X = 100,
500, or 800 ft.
Solution:

Figure 3-7 provides the contours of percent
error as a function of Xn and zjd. Either
contours (curves) or suggested zones
(piecewise straight lines) may be used. once
Xn is calculated, enter figure 3-7 to
determine an acceptable elevation (z/d) for
the anemometer. From figure 3-7 for 20%

Surface Roughness Changes

When the wind flows from a region with a particular surface
roughness, z 0 1, to a region with a different surface roughness
z 0 2, there is change in the shape of the velocity profile near
the ground, up to height h 1 (x), see figure 3-8. The layer below
h 1 (x) is often called the Interpal Boun1ary Layer (IBL). The
height h 1 (x), which increases with the iistance X from the
roughness interface, is called the height of the IBL.
Clearly, two anemometers placed at the same height, but at
.different distances from an interface, would not record the same
wind speed. Abrupt changes from an urban terrain to a smooth
terrain, or visa versa, are also associated with local
accelerations or wakes caused by the change of the effective
level of the ground.
The purpose of this section is to present a convenient algorithm
for estimating the approximate magnitude of changes in winds
speeds downstream of such interfaces.
3.4.1 Computing Optimal Anemometer Height For Single Step Change
in Roughness
The equations describing the wind field across the internal
boundary layer for a single roughness change are:
U (Z)

and

12/4/89

6560.21A
Appendix 3

In these equations, u(z) is the velocity at height z a distance x
downwind of the roughness change (figure 3-8); u 1 (10) has been
selected as a reference velocity upwind of the roughness change
at an elevation of 10 m; a 1 is the upstream value of roughness
described as a power-law exponent; and b 10 , p, and k are obtained
from table 3-2.
The above equations can be solved for the value of z as a
function of u(z)ju 10 •

Thus knowledge of only four parameters, b 10 , (a 1+fi) and k, is
required for determining the height of the sensor for a
prescribed velocity difference tolerance, i.e., u(z)ju 1 (10).
Application of equations for Z are based on computed value of
X0 1. Representative values of surface roughness and the
corresponding power law exponent a are given in table 3-1.

3.5 Terrain Effects Caused by 2-D Slopes and 3-D Slopes {Ridges
and Hills)
Terrain effects include local hills, embankments, escarpments,
valleys, and depressions. When accounting for the effects of
terrain on the velocity profile, idealize the terrain into the
forms shown in figure 3-10.
NOTE:

This section is limited to single terrain features and
small scale topographic configurations (small compared
to the height of the atmospheric boundary layer). When
considering multiple terrain features, assistance
should be requested (see appendix 3 section 2(e)).

Consider the hill in figure 3-9. The approach velocity profile
is designated by ua(Z), where z is always the height above the
local ground surface. The local velocities at other locations
are designated by u(x,z). The following equations are for the

The velocity field is determined by the exact geometric
configuration of the terrain. The topographical configuration is
described using two length scales.
a.

h = The maximum height above the assumed horizontal
upstream surface.

L = The typical length scale of the configuration. We
shall adopt the commonly used definition of L, which is
the distance from the crest where the elevation e above
the environment is h/2.

In approximating the effect of a specific configuration, an
estimate should be made of the appropriate values of h and L for
which the analytical expression best describes the specific
configuration, as shown for example in figure 3-10. Figure 3-lOa
shows a two dimensional ridge or a three dimensional hill, and
figure 3-10b shows escarpment.
In the case of an escarpment with
sharp angles, the data at the top of figure 3-11 should be used.
For separation, distinction must first be made between
configurations with mild slopes where h/L ~ 0.5 and
configurations with steep slopes where h/L > 0.5. Most of the
estimates are for mild slopes. Slightly larger (up to 20% at
most) maximum speed-up values can occur in configurations with
steep slopes, due to flow separations (See Figure 3-9b).

Speed Up Above the Crest of Topographical Configurations

3.5.1

Simple guidelines .for estimating the speed-up variations near
small scale topographical features for atmospheric boundary layer
flow over hills with low slope are given below.
The maximum of ~ S (not of u) occurs near the surface at the
hilltop.
Based on this model the following guidelines are
provided;

L smax = 2 (h/L)

For 2-D r~dges or valley with
negative value of h. Separation
for valley flow can occur for
slopes greater than 0.3 or less.

For 2-D escarpments.

~ Smax = 1.6 (h/L)

Smax = 0.8 (h/L)

For 3-D axisymmetric hills.

These estimates should only be used for h/L up to about 0.5. In
separated flows, a small increase in ~ Smax is expected up to ~
Smax = 1.2.
The above 2-D cases are for flows perpendicular to the 2-D
configuration. For flows at an angle to the 2-D configuration, L
should be adjusted as follows:
L = Lo I cos e

Where e id the angle between the
flow direction and normal
direction, L0 •

It should be noted that there may be a significant (approx. 20°)
change in wind direction over 2-D terrain features for non-normal
flows.
The fractional speed-up at higher elevation above the hilltop can
be estimated using the exponential decay law;

.6._ S(o,z) = (~ Smax) (exp [-E Z/L])
Where

E = 2.5
E = 4

for 2-D hills
for 2-D escarpments
for 3-D hills

Page 175 of 254

6560.21A
Appendix 3

12/4/89

For an estimate of the speed-up at x not equal to zero, estimates
of the decay of the speed-up away from the crest are much less
certain. For hills, above the elevation of the top of the hill,
the following may be used;

where

E = 3
for 2-D ridges
E = 4
for 3-D hills
z 1 is the height above the hill crest, see
Figure 3-12

According to this equation, the constant ~ S lines become
circles. This procedure gives values which are close estimates
for ~ S downstream of hills.
It gives slightly larger values of
~ S upstream of the hill.
For estimating the velocity upstream
of hills, figure 3-11 can be used.
3.5.2 Computing Optimal Anemometer Height Downwind of 2-D Slopes
(Ridges and Lee Slopes)
Data obtained from wind-tunnel simulation of 40 2-D ridge and 48
2-D lee slope model simulations are summarized in Table 3-3 to
show the decrease in anemometer error with distance from the
hilltop and height of the anemometer above ground. A 2-D ridge
has a shape approximated by Figure 3-9a while a 2-D lee slope is
a hill with a broad top so that the geometry would appear as in
Figure 3-10b with velocity from the right in the figure.
Data
are provided for open country and suburban surface roughness and
for a variety of slope angles.
Distance x has its origin at the
point where the downward slope of the ridge or lee slope begins.
The range of validity of the data in table 3-3 is for ridge or
lee slope heights of 40 feet to 170 feet.
Smaller ridge heights
are expected to give smaller anemometer heights than listed, but
possibly longer relative distances.
In all cases, the anemometer
should be no less than 1.5H (1.5 times the height of local
roughness elements). Where an error category only appeared below
1.5H, the minimum anemometer height Zm was set to l.SH in Table
3-3 and ~ was set to not applicable, NA, indicating any location
on the slope above elevation 1.5H is acceptable.

Appendix 3
Example:

12/4/89

Given: A generally flat plane breaks into a 9 degree
average slope to a river bottom 80 feet below the
plane. The estimated surface roughness length Z0 is
0.03 meters (grassy area with some trees and
buildings) . A proposed anemometer location is 500 ft
down the slope from the break. Find minimum anemometer
heights to limit anemometer shielding to 20 or 30
percent.
Solution: Use table 3-3,
degree angle.

l~e

slope, open country, 9

For 20% error distance ~ = 9h = 9(80) = 720 ft
For 30% error distance ~ = 8h = 8(80} = 640 ft
Since X(=SOO) < ~(=720 or 640),
affected by the slope.

the anemometer is

From Table 3-3, the height requirement for;
20% error is Zm = 70 ft;
30% error is Zm = 40 ft.
3.5.3 Computing Optimal Anemometer Height Downwind of 3-D Slopes
CHills)
3-D hill model simulations are summarized in table 3-4 to show
the decrease in anemometer error with distance from the hilltop
and height of the anemometer above ground. The 3-D hill shape is
approximated by figure 3-10a; however, the upwind and lee slopes
need not be similar. Data are represented in a format similar to
the 2-D ridge case. Downwind slope angles are limited to 9 or 10
degrees - for larger slope angles separated flow phenomena may
occur and might better be predicted by a 3-D obstacle. For the
3-D hill case, the largest effects occur beyond 4 hill heights
and so the anemometer height restrictions are different farther
from the hilltop. Hill heights used to.obtain table 3-4 were 75
ft and 150 ft high. The range of validity may reasonably be over
hill heights of 40 ft to 170 ft. Smaller hill heights are
expected to give smaller anemometer height requirement~ than
those listed by a small amount.

Page 24

Page 177 of 254

12/4/89

6560.21A
Appendix 3

Example:

Given: A 60 ft high grassy hill with scattered 12 ft
bushes (Z 0 = 0.03m) has an average slope of 6 degrees.
An anemometer is to be located 600 ft from the top of
the downward slope.
Find minimum anemometer heights to
limit shielding to 20 or 30 percent.
Solution: Use table 3-4, open country, 6 degree angle,
and x;h > 4.
For 20% error distance Xm = 17h = 17(60) = 1020 ft
For 30% error distance Xm = not applicable
Since X(=600) < Xm(=1020),
the anemometer is
influenced by the slope for 20% errors.
From table 3-4, the height requirement for;
20% error is Zm = 50 ft;
30% error is larger of 1.5 (12) = 18 ft or 20 ft, use
20 ft to avoid 30 % error.

EVALUATOR(S) COMMENTS:
This site is sitting in an open country
environment, with suburbs containing clusters of trees to the NNW
- SE. According to Fig. 3-1, cluster (1) causes 30% shielding,
cluster {2) causes over 50% shielding, cluster {3) causes 26%
shielding, and cluster (4) causes 40% shielding at the site. In
order to reduce the shielding to 20% from all the aforementioned
clusters, the anemometer needs to be raised to twice the height
of the tallest cluster {Fig 4), which is 2 X 63' or 126'.
Therefore, the anemometer should be put on a 130' pole.

obstructions. They are only 2-4 tree heights away from the site,
and therefore cause greater than 40% shielding since XR is less
than 1 (Fig. 3-3). In order to reduce the shielding to 20%. the
anemometer must be at twice the tree height (Fig. 3-4) which in
this case is 2 X 55' or 110'.

The adjacent canopy of trees to the west of the site has a
mixture of trees ranging from 35' to 65', and therefore is
somewhat rough (a= 0.26). According to Fig. 3-6, with this power
law exponent, the anemometer should be 59' higher than the mean
forest height in order to minimize to shielding to 20%. This
puts the anemometer at 50'+ 59' or 109'.
In this case, it would be best to add ten feet (to allow for tree
growth), and put the anemometer on a 120' pole.

cluster of trees (5) and warehouse (6) are all 3-D obstructions
since their widths are less than ten times height. According to
Fig. 3-2, tree (1) causes over 50% shielding, cluster (5) causes
50 % shielding, and warehouse (6} causes 21% shielding at the
site. To minimize the shielding from cluster (5) to 20 %, the
anemometer needs to be twice the cluster's height (Fig. 3-4),
which is 2 X 57' or 114 1 •

The canopy (2) causes about 13% shielding at the site (Table 3-1
and Figure 3-7). The row of trees (3) is a 2-D obstruction, and
therefore causes 32% shielding at the site (Fig. 3-5).
In order
to reduce the shielding to 20%, the anemometer should be raised
to 1.7 times the height of the row of trees (Fig. 3-5), which is
1.7 x 59' or 1oo•;
The cluster (5) creates the requirement for the highest
anemometer level {114'). Therefore, the anemometer should be
placed on a 120' pole.

STATION------------------------------------------------------------
EVALUATOR(S) COMMENTS: The example compares the effect of a
suburban to open country roughness change at a CF Ccenterfiled)
site and a remote (both out of the E-S). The CF site, being the
more open site, is 2200 1 (670 m) from the roughness change (a =
.24 to a= .13), while the remote site is 700' (213 m) from the
roughness change.
In order to determine the ratio of the
windspeed at the remot~ site (U(Z)r) to the windspeed at the CF
site (U(Z)c) from the E-SE, (both anemometers are at 20' or 6.1
m), it is necessary to first compare the windspeed at the sites
with the windspeed at the sites with the windspeeds at
the
sites with the windspeed at a hypothetical (10 m} reference
site CU 1 ) , located in the suburban roughness upstream of the
sites, by using Table 3-2 and the steps in Section 3.4.1. The
ratio of the windspeed at the remote site (X= 213 m.) to the
windspeed at the reference site, UrLY 1 = 1.15. The ratio of the
windspeed at the CF site (X = 670 ml to the windspeed at the
reference site, UcLQ 1 = 1.22. Therefore, the ratio of the
windspeed at the remote site to the windspeed at the CF site,
~rL1k = 15/22 = .94.
This indicates that the remote site is 6%
shielded compared to the CF site with E - SE winds, which is
tolerable.

EVALUATOR(S) COMMENTS: This site is located on top of an
approximately symmetric hill. and is in the middle of a rather
rough canopy of trees (due to some shattering of the canopy, and
the roughness of the terrain) . Ignoring the speed-uo factor of
the hill, the anemometer would have to be 67' above the mean
canopy height to reduce the shielding to 20% (Fig. 3-6) . This
would mandate a 60'+ 6?' or 127' anemometer.

STATION_____________________________________________________________
EVALUATOR(S) COMMENTS: The drawing below shows the positions of
the ridge and anemometer. The station is in an open country
environment. Using Table 3-3, 2-D ridge, open country, 15°
angle; 20% error distance Xm = 10h = 1,500'. Since X (=1,100)
is less than }b(=1,500), the anemometer is affected by the ridge.
From Table 3-3, the height requirement for 20% error is Zm= 100'.
The tree and cluster of trees are 3-D obstructions. From Fig. 3
1, the tree causes 23% error, and the cluster causes 33% error.
In order to reduce the error to 20% from the tree and the
cluster, the anemometer needs to be raised (using Fig. 3-4) to
88' to 120' r respectively.
The building is 2-D obstruction.
From the formula in Section
3.2.1 for low obstacles. The building causes 17% error, which is
tolerable.
Therefore, the anemometer should be placed at 120' in order to
counteract the effects of both the cluster of trees and the
ridge.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
An Ordinance amending the 2022 Airport Capital Improvements Fund Budget for the following project at
the Shreveport Downtown Airport:
I. Provide additional funding for a project entitled Downtown Action Plan Update (H20007). This
project was established by Ordinance No. 140 of 2019 allocating $125,000 from the Louisiana Department
of Transportation and Development (LADOTD). This ordinance amends the funding source of the project
by decreasing $80,000.00 from LADOTD and increasing the appropriation to FAA by an additional
$360,000.00. The increase in funding from FAA is due to added requirements to the project. The total
project amount is $500,000.00. Changes in the Airport Capital Improvements Plan have resulted in the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) providing 90% and the LADOTD providing 10% of the funding
for this project.

SPONSOR

PURPOSE
To amend Chapter 38, Art II, Div. 4, Section 31 of the City of Shreveport, Louisiana Code of Ordinances.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Section 38-31(c) of the City of Shreveport Code of Ordinances provides that “Whenever a complaint is
made to the department of property standards, or the department of property standards becomes aware of
a violation of this section, the department of property standards shall cause to be served upon the person
in possession of the vehicle or the owner of the real property upon which such inoperable vehicle is
located, a written notice which shall inform such person of the violation and direct that he comply with
the provisions of this section within ten (10) days following receipt of the notice, or will be required to
appear in environmental court for violation of this section.”
Subsection (d) provides “In the event the owner of such inoperable vehicle cannot be found, and the
owner of the real property upon which such vehicle is located is a nonresident of the parish, the division
of code enforcement shall have the authority to enter upon such property and cause the vehicle to be
removed…”
Currently, Section 38-31 provides that upon the expiration of the ten (10) day written notice period, if an
inoperable vehicle violation has not been abated by the person served the violation, said violation
proceeds directly to the City’s Environmental Court for adjudication. As part of the Department of
Property Standard’s efforts to reduce the Department’s case load coming before the Environmental Court
and to transition the Court into a more quasi-appellate role for the Department and City, this revised
ordinance will permit property owners and or those in possession of inoperable vehicles to appeal written
notices of violations for inoperable vehicles violations, pursuant to Section 38-105, to the Environmental
Court. If those owners or possessors do not abate their property within the required ten day (10) period
pursuant to Section 38-31(c) or do not appeal their written notice of violation to the Environmental Court
pursuant to Section 38-105, the Department of Property Standards will then have the authority to have
such vehicle removed from wherever real property the vehicle is then located.

PURPOSE
To amend Section 38.5-6 of the City of Shreveport, Louisiana Code of Ordinances.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Section 38.5-6(a) of the City of Shreveport Code of Ordinances currently provides that: “Whenever the
city department having enforcement responsibility determines that a Code violation exists, a summons to
appear shall be provided to the owner and/or the mortgage holder and/or the occupant of the property
upon which the nuisance exists or upon the person causing or maintaining the nuisance.”
The Department of Property Standards requests an amendment to this ordinance related to the procedures
for the issuance of summons to the City’s Environmental Court. This in an effort to reduce the case load
of the Department coming before the Court and to transition the Environmental Court into a quasiappellate administrative body. This revised ordinance will allow the Department to proceed with the
abatement of property standards violations, after due notice of violation has been given to property
owners pursuant to Section 38-84(2), and when no appeals to the Court have been timely filed pursuant
to Section 38-105, without having to forward these violations to the Environmental Court first for
adjudication. Property standards violations will now only appear before the Environmental Court if
property owners with pending property standards violations appeal those violations within the time limit
established by Section 38-105 (10 days of receipt of notice of violation), reducing abatement time.

FACT SHEET
TITLE
DATE
An ordinance to amend Section 90-124 of March 14, 2022
Chapter 90 of the City of Shreveport Code of
Ordinances relative to certain types of trucks
being prohibited on certain streets.

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT
Shreveport Police Department
COUNCIL DISTRICT
E
SPONSOR
Councilman Dr. Alan Jackson, Jr.

PURPOSE
To amend Section 90-124 of the Code of Ordinances.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
One of the streets referenced in Section 90-124 is incorrect. The provision states that no trucks can
operate, drive, or pull on “Williamson Way 8700 Block of Kingston Road extending west to City
Limits.” However, Williamson Way does not intersect Kingston Road in the 8700 Block; it intersects
Kingston Road at the 9800 Block. Thus, the section needs to be amended to reflect the intersection
accurately.

PURPOSE
To amend Section 50-94 of the Code of Ordinances.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A catalytic convertor is an emission control device present on nearly all vehicles. These devices are made
from precious metals including platinum, rhodium, and palladium. Since the value of catalytic convertors
continues to increase, there has been a dramatic rise in thefts across the country since the parts have a
high resale value. The City of Shreveport has seen an increase in catalytic convertor thefts across all
seven (7) city council districts, and all thirteen (13) Shreveport police districts since 2020. The rise in
catalytic convertor thefts has affected both businesses and residents of the City of Shreveport.

This Ordinance or Resolution will have direct impact on Council District:

ALL

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Architectural and Engineering (A&E) selection committee has deemed it desirable and necessary to amend certain
provisions of the selection process for firms seeking to provide architectural, engineering, interior design construction
management, land surveying and landscape architectural services on City projects of maintenance, construction and
other public works.
An A&E subcommittee was convened for the purposes of discussion and implementation of an updated selection
process which will give the members of the selection committee greater opportunity to make selections objectively
and provide for greater transparency. These changes will provide for more even dispersion of City contracts to local
qualified firms through a more streamlined and detailed qualification based selection process.
