Review and discuss the Airports’ proposed rates and charges
|
| |
This is a continued discussion that originated from the Airports’ economic development incentive program (EDIP) and strategic plan. In order to better position both airports, Airports staff is proposing a reduction in the current rates and charges, implementing new agreements and adding new items to be covered in a fee schedule. Moving forward, staff would like to take this proposal to the Board to go in effect January 1, 2019. Both Supervisors were supportive of the proposed plan.

Review & discuss the AAC ByLaw changes which include two new seats to represent the general communities surrounding Buchanan Field and Byron Airports.
|
| |
In January 2018, the Airport Committee requested better representation of both airports on the AAC. Airport staff worked with the AAC to review current bylaws and make necessary changes. Changes to the bylaws included two newly created airport neighbor seats (this will increase the number if members from 11 to 13). One seat will represent the town of Pacheco and the other will represent the general communities surrounding the Byron Airport (Brentwood, Byron, Knightsen or Discovery Bay). Candidates must reside or work in these areas. Other changes include referring the at-large seat recruitment process to the Airport Committee and requiring members to complete Ralph M. Brown Act, the County’s Better Government Ordinance, and Ethics Orientation trainings within ninety days of appointment/reappointment.

Review and discuss the General Plan Amendment update (Will Nelson, Department of Conservation and Development)
|
| |
This item was moved to be discussed after public comment. Will Nelson with DCD gave an update regarding the Byron GPA. Will Nelson reported that the Byron GPA is approximately 10-12 months from being adopted. Supervisor Mitchoff had some concern with the lengthy process. Will Nelson explained that Caltrans had some issues with the draft Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) that was submitted by the consultants as it was far more constraining than originally anticipated. The next steps will be to complete the Byron draft ALUCP and draft Economic Impact Report (DEIR), then send the project for public review. Airport Staff and DCD will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.

Discussion to reaffirm the July 25, 2006 Board action recognizing Buchanan Field and Byron Airports as important to the current and future transportation needs of Contra Costa County.
|
| |
During the Airport’s EDIP and strategic planning processes, it was identified that one of the main drawbacks of economic growth at Buchanan Field and Byron Airport was the lack of County priority in regards to airport-related projects. Airport staff requests that the Airport Committee recognize the increased importance of economic development and forward their recommendation to the Board for review and approval. Chair Supervisor Diane Burgis and Vice Chair Supervisor Karen Mitchoff were supportive of staff’s requests.
