Information

Referral History:

During the January 10, 2018 Airport Committee meeting, Supervisors Mitchoff and Burgis recommended that additional seats on the Aviation Advisory Committee be considered to represent the Town of Pacheco, near Buchanan Field and the communities near the Byron Airport. A draft bylaw change has been reviewed by the Aviation Advisory Committee during their February and March meetings. In addition, bylaw changes were recommended to capture current protocols and practices relative to the selection process for the At-Large positions and the training requirements for the AAC members. It was recommended that the Airport Committee accept the proposed Aviation Advisory Committee bylaw changes and forward the revised bylaws to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors (Board) for approval.

Referral Update:

On May 8, 2018, the Board authorized the modification of the AAC Bylaws to (i) increase the number of members from 11 to 13, by adding one member from the Buchanan Field Airport community and one member from the Byron Airport community, and (ii) require all members to complete the Ralph M. Brown Act, the County’s Better Government Ordinance, and Ethics Orientation trainings within ninety (90) days of appointment/reappointment, as recommended by the Airports Committee.

On May 11, 2018, a press release was distributed to the public for the two (2) newly created Airport Neighbor positions with an application deadline of June 1, 2018. Airport staff received a total of six (6) applications.
