Subject:ACCEPT recommendation by the Airport Committee and report by Director of Airports to update security
procedures at Buchanan Field Airport.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of the new access control system provides an opportunity for the Airport staff to consider
new security access procedures.
Airport staff has conducted research with other airports within the Bay Area and
California to identify their security access procedures. Airport staff also researched past,
current and expected future security related matters to provide a basis for the
recommendations in their staff report.
This is the first phase of updating the security program for both airports. It is being
implemented first at Buchanan Field Airport due the age of the existing equipment, an
FAA grant and the higher activity at the facility. It is anticipated that similar
improvements will be made to the Byron Airport at some point in the future. The
recommended security access procedures would ultimately apply at both airports when
full program implementation is complete.
This item was reviewed with the Aviation Advisory Committee during their January,
February, March, April and May meetings in 2011. This item was also reviewed with the
Airport Committee during their March, April and May meetings in 2011. Both the
Aviation Advisory Committee and Airport Committee support these recommendations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
By not approving these recommendations the existing security practices will remain in
place, which are not consistent with industry standards.
