The Aviation Advisory Committee (AAC) was established by the Board of Supervisors 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 AAC is mandated to cooperate with local, state, and national aviation interests for the safe and orderly operation of airports; 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.
The AAC may initiate discussions, observations, or investigations and may hear comments on airport and aviation matters from the public or other agencies in order to formulate recommendations to the Board. In conjunction with all of the above, the Aviation Advisory Committee provides a forum for the Director of Airports regarding policy matters at and around the airport.
The AAC comprises 11 members who must be County residents: one appointed by each Supervisor; one from and nominated to the Board by the City of Concord; one from and nominated to the Board by the City of Pleasant Hill; one from and nominated to the Board by the Contra Costa County Airports Business Association; three at large to represent the general community, to be nominated by the Internal Operations Committee. At least one of the above shall be a member of the Airport Land Use Commission.
Terms for AAC seats are three years ending each March 1.
