Information

Referral History:

During the February 12, 2020 Airport Committee meeting it was recommended that the Airport Committee discuss and review the process for appointing candidates to the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). It was recommended that this discussion should focus on ways to provide multiple opportunities for members of the community to participate on either the Airport Land Use Commission or the Aviation Advisory Committee. It was noted that several individuals have seats on both the County’s Airport Land Use Commission and Aviation Advisory Committee.

Referral Update:

Airport staff has attached the current roster and background information for the AAC members. The makeup of the AAC includes 13 members. Five members are selected each by the County Board of Supervisors, one member by the City of Concord, one member by the City of Pleasant Hill, one member by the CCC Airports Business Association, one member by the Airport Committee (Town of Pacheco), one member by the Airport Committee (East County), three At-Large members by the Airport Committee. In August of 2017, the County’s Internal Operating Committee transferred screening responsibility to the Airport Committee for selection of vacant seats on the AAC.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

Request that County staff provide backgrounds for each current member ALUC and ACC to the Airport Committee prior to conducting interviews for each new vacancy. Consider AAC bylaw changes.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

The fiscal impact has generally been limited to the committee staff time by the Public Works Department-Airports Division (Airport Enterprise Fund).
