punished by a fine of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each
infraction.

considered in fixing any airport user fees.

shall be used first to reimburse the General Fund for the amount of
any money appropriated to carry out the purposes for which the noise
regulations are established, and second be used in the enforcement of
