RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Ms. Emily Barnett to an At Large seat on the Aviation Advisory Committee (AAC) to a term beginning March 1, 2019 and expiring February 28, 2022, as recommended by the Airport Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The AAC was established by the Board of Supervisors (Board) to provide advice and recommendations to the Board on the aviation issues related to the economic viability and security of airports in Contra Costa County (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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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 the above, the AAC provides a forum for the Director of Airports regarding policy matters at and around the airport.

The AAC comprises 13 members who must work and/or reside in Contra Costa County: 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; one from the community of Pacheco and nominated to the Board by the Airport Committee; one from the vicinity of Byron Airport (Brentwood, Byron, Knightsen or Discovery Bay) and nominated to the Board by the Airport Committee; and three At Large to represent the general community, to be nominated by the Airport Committee.

The Internal Operations (IO) subcommittee generally interviews and makes an appointment recommendation to the Board for the AAC At Large positions. At the IO’s July 10, 2017, meeting they recommended that the AAC At Large position interview and selection process be referred to the Airport Committee as they have direct oversight and involvement in Airport related matters. On August 1, 2017, the Board approved referring the AAC At Large position recruitment and selection process to the Airport Committee.

On February 13, 2019, the Airport Committee interviewed the following candidates for an At Large seat on the AAC:

Emily Barnett, Pleasant Hill
Andrei Obolenskiy, Pleasant Hill
Moe Zendenam, Walnut Creek
Kou Barnes, Martinez
Christopher Doan, Walnut Creek
James Gillivan, Walnut Creek

At the conclusion of the interviews, the Airport Committee decided to recommend the reappointment of Emily Barnett.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The At Large #3 seat will not have representation as the seat will become vacant.
