RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the resignation of Maurice Gunderson, DECLARE a vacancy in the three Member At-Large 1 seat on the Aviation Advisory Committee to complete the term with an expiration date of February 29, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the Contra Costa County Aviation Advisory Committee (AAC) is to provide advice and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on the aviation issues related to the economic viability and security of airports in Contra Costa County. The AAC may initiate discussions, observations, and conduct research in order to make its recommendations to the Board. The Committee may hear comments on airport and aviation matters from the public or other agencies for consideration and possible recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. The AAC engages with local, state, and national aviation interests for the safe and orderly operation of airports. The Committee’s recommendations are intended to advance and promote the interests of aviation, as well as protect the general welfare of the people living and working near the airport and the County in general. In conjunction with all of the above, the AAC provides a forum for the Director of Airports regarding airport policy matters.

The AAC is comprised of thirteen members appointed by the Board of Supervisors who must work and/or reside in Contra Costa County. The membership of the AAC consists of: 1) one member nominated by each of the five members of the Board of Supervisors; 2) one member nominated by the City of Concord; 3) one member nominated by the City of Pleasant Hill; 4) one member nominated by the Contra Costa County Airport Business Association; 5) one member nominated by the Airport Committee who lives in the vicinity of Buchanan Field Airport; 6) one member nominated by the Airport Committee who lives in the vicinity of the Byron Airport; and 7) three At-Large members nominated by the Airport Committee representing the general community.


Mr. Gunderson, an outgoing Member At-Large Committee member was originally appointed to a term ending February 29, 2024. On July 14, 2022, Mr. Gunderson submitted his letter of resignation, prompting staff to initiate a recruitment for this position.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

One of the three Member At-Large seats will remain vacant and therefore will not have representation at future Aviation Advisory Committee meetings.
