RECOMMENDATION(S):

REAPPOINT Mr. Derek Mims to the City of Pleasant Hill seat on the Aviation Advisory Committee (AAC) to a term expiring February 28, 2021, as recommended by the Pleasant Hill City Council.

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.

On March 6, 2018, the Pleasant Hill City Council unanimously approved a recommendation that Derek Mims continue to serve as the representative for the City of Pleasant Hill. Board approval to reappoint Derek Mims is being retroactively requested as documentation for his reappointment cannot be located and, thus, Pleasant Hill’s recommendation cannot be confirmed.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The City of Pleasant Hill will not be represented on the Aviation Advisory Committee.
