5. Update on Bay Area test Site (BATS) activity, Buchanan Field and Byron Airport 
  Greg Baer reported: 
  • Since the last meeting nothing significant has changed; ongoing interest remains from tech companies that would like to do testing. Each company that approaches Airports about testing, brings new challenges to staff in accommodating the requests. Staff has met these challenges and done their best to educate and accommodate these companies to assure the best outcomes for both parties. 
  • Mr. Baer will be attending the redefining mobility summit. 
  • Staff is working on an updated revenue model to capture revenue in a better way. 

Supervisor Carlson asked: What are the timelines for these companies? 
Greg Baer responded: It depends on the company, each company provides its own variables which affect these timelines. 
             
6. Discuss Byron Development Potential & Constraints (water, sewer, storm water quality)
  Greg Baer reported: 
  • No drastic changes, potential change in how Airports is partnering with Byron Bethany Irrigation District (BBID)
  • Planning on future talks with BBID for more opportunities. 
  • Recommending being as aggressive as possible with water conservation at Byron Airport, as the well that provides water is limited in its capacity. 
  • Meters installed for onsite monitoring of water usage 
  • Long term incremental steps Airports Staff are taking to ensure water conservation. 
             
7. Update on Airports Current Project Development 
             
a. Discuss Con Fire Station 9 to Airport Property, Buchanan Field
  Greg Baer reported: 
  • Public works and Airport staff have been aggressively working towards a resolution for a stormwater drain capacity issue. 
  • Due to the extended timelines to resolve this issue Confire cannot wait any further to begin development.
  • Confire has decided to not proceed with development but may have future interest once the issues are resolved. 
             
8. Discuss Terminal/ARFF Building Development, Buchanan Field
  Greg Baer reported: 
  • The building is about 19,000 sq. ft. and is divided into 3 parts, the terminal building or the passenger loading area, the Airports administration office, and the two large garage bays for the ARFF trucks. 
  • Cost management is priority. 
  • Keeping materials dry has been problematic due to the inclement weather, as building is not yet watertight. Contractor is working hard to remedy the issue.
