BACKGROUND:

The Aviation Advisory Committee was established by the Board of Supervisors in 1977. Its current charge is to provide advice and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on the aviation issues related to the economic viability and security of airports in Contra Costa County. The Committee may initiate discussions, observations, or investigations, in order to make its recommendations to the Board. The Committee may hear comments on airport and aviation matters from the public or other agencies for consideration and possible recommendations to the Board of Supervisors or their designees. The Aviation Advisory Committee shall cooperate with local, state, and national aviation interests for the safe and orderly operation of airports. The Aviation Advisory Committee shall advance and promote the interests of aviation and protect the general welfare of the people living and working near the airport and the County in general. In conjunction with all of the above, the Aviation Advisory Committee shall provide a forum for the Director of Airports regarding policy matters at and around the airports.

On March 1, 2017, the At Large 2 seat term of office will expire. Additionally, the former Diablo Valley College seat was converted to an At Large (#3) seat and is currently vacant. The Airports Director opened a four-week recruitment on October 27, 2016 to fill the current and pending vacancies, garnering four applications, attached. Seat terms are three years. The term for the next At Large 2 appointment will be March 2, 2017-March 1, 2020. The current term for the At Large 3 (formerly DVC) seat will expire on March 1, 2019.

On December 12, 2016, the Internal Operations Committee (IOC) interviewed the following candidates for the two At Large seats on the Aviation Advisory Committee:

Emily Barnett, Pleasant Hill
Christopher Hansen, Concord
DeWitt Hodge (incumbent), Pittsburg
Geoffrey Logan, Walnut Creek

At the conclusion of the interviews, the IOC decided to recommend the reappointment of DeWitt Hodge and the appointment of Emily Barnett.
