The land denoted for aviation use on an Airport Layout Plan (ALP) correlates to the long-term aviation facility needs. The existing ALP shows the approximate 16-acres of vacant land on the northeast of Marsh Drive and Sally Ride Drive (across from the Airports Division office) intended for aviation use. In order for that land to be used for aviation facilities, a taxi lane would need to be extended from the airfield. Further, that taxi lane would cross Sally Ride Drive causing it to be severed. Thus, a new second connection to Marsh Drive would be required on the north end so that tenants can continue to access their hangars/buildings once the taxi lane is installed. These combined improvements have been viewed as cost prohibitive, likely resulting in the land remaining vacant. The current forecasts for the ALP update indicate there is substantially more land currently reserved for aviation uses than needed to meet future demand forecasts. This, combined with the high cost to connect this property to the airfield, makes the 16-acres economically infeasible for aviation use. As such, it was determined that this land should be released for non-aviation use. County staff discussed the findings with FAA Airport District Office staff, and they conceptually agreed with the approach and suggested that a land release request package be prepared in order for them to make a determination. The cost to prepare a documented categorical exclusion (CATEX) is approximately $122,000. It is possible that an Environmental Assessment may be required if there are identified critical items during the preparation of the CATEX or if the FAA determines that a higher level NEPA evaluation is necessary. Subsequently, the Airports Division received a letter of interest to develop this property for non-aviation use. A competitive solicitation process commenced, and the County did not receive any competitive interest. On December 4, 2018, the Board authorized negotiations for a ground lease and development terms with the Montecito Development Company, LLC for the approximate 16-acres. Completion of the FAA release of the 16 -acres for non-aeronautical use is required before a lease can be executed. An Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) between Montecito Development Company and the County was reviewed by the Board at their May 7, 2019, meeting. The ENA is necessary for the development team to identify potential tenant(s) and to feel confident in proceeding with all of the review processes, including CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 1/17/2024Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™49 File #:24-0135 Agenda Date:1/22/2024 Agenda #:7. Federal NEPA environmental review, necessary to complete the FAA process for the release of the land for non- aviation uses. It will also enable the parties to proceed with the land use entitlement process and the CEQA process, as mandated by State law. On June 18, 2019, the FAA sent written confirmation of their intent to release the airport property for non- aeronautical use. The final FAA approval of the land release request will be based on successful completion and review of the formal land release package submittal by the County. On September 9, 2019, FAA staff found a copy of a letter that released the land for non-aviation use dated October 18, 1982, and FAA staff confirmed that this past action is still applicable. County staff is in process of negotiating lease and development terms with Montecito Development Company team. The Buchanan Field Flood Report update has been completed and provides the mitigation options for this project as it located along the drainage ditch on the west side of the airport. The project sponsor is working with staff from the Department of Conservation and Development as they perform the environmental studies and analysis to secure planning entitlements for the property. The development team has been working closely with County staff to determine the best option to address its stormwater collect and convey requirement so the project can move forward through the entitlement process. The existing drainage ditch on Airport property does not meet current standards and, thus, cannot accommodate additional runoff. Referral Update:Following several technical discussions and meetings with County Public Works and Department of Conservation and Development staff regarding the stormwater issues, the development team (Montecito) resubmitted the land use and entitlement package to the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) in late December 2023. Recommendations/Next Steps: Follow the entitlement process through DCD and the forthcoming public review period for the project’s Environmental Impact Report. Discuss the 16-acre development, Buchanan Field. This is a general discussion about the status of the proposed project. Fiscal Impact:The Airport Enterprise Fund will no longer need to be used to cover the additional land release project expenses. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 1/17/2024Page 2 of 2 powered by Legistar™50 CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Staff Report 1025 ESCOBAR STREET MARTINEZ, CA 94553 File #:24-0131 Agenda Date:1/22/2024 Agenda #:8. 1. Discuss ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting)/Administration/Terminal Building, Buchanan Field Referral History: In February 2021, the Board approved the project plan set and specifications and authorized staff to solicit for construction bids. The County received seven construction bids on March 11, 2021, which ranged in cost from $12,990,000 to $15,975,000. County staff reviewed the bids and found that the lowest responsive bidder was W.E. Lyons Co. (Lyons) at $12,990,000. The bid amount, however, was much higher than the engineer’s estimate of $11,700,000. As a result, Airports staff worked with the FAA to secure two grants totaling $12,999,000 with the FAA to move this project to construction. The Board approved a contract with W.E. Lyons Construction Company (Lyons) at their April 27, 2021, meeting. A modular building was delivered on May 3, 2021, to temporarily house JSX during the project construction. Lyons received a Notice to Proceed for the project on June 7, 2021. Referral Update:While progress continues on the building, it remains quite slow. The latest setback stemmed from PG&E not energizing the building because of a PG&E design criteria that is problematic from an airport security perspective. County staff from the Airports Division and Supervisors Carlson’s office worked diligently with PG&E staff to resolve the issue without having to make major modifications to the north end of the building. As of January 11, 2024, PG&E approved the previously denied variance, allowing the electric meters to be scheduled for installation. Due to the delay in getting the building electrified, the project schedule has slipped again where final completion will most likely be in the late March, to early April timeframe. A more refined schedule will be developed once the building receives power. Recommendations/Next Steps: Fiscal Impact:Enterprise Fund, inclusive of bond money and reserve amounts. The FAA has provided two grants for a total of approximately $12,990,000. The original construction contract value was $12,990,000, with approximately $2.45 million in approved change orders, and approximately $25,000 worth of change orders in process. County staff from the Airports Division and County Administrator’s Office have been working with the contractor to quantify all the potential construction claims before embarking on the next prescribed step (meet and confer) in the claims process.

In addition, in June 2016 the County received a 120-acre donation of land adjacent to and a portion within the Runway Protection Zone of the Byron Airport. The donated land was also environmentally protected and subject to a conservation easement for the protection of burrowing owls. Combined, the environmentally protected lands are referred to as the Conservation Program. The County retains a Range Manager and a Biologist to oversee the Conservation Program in compliance with the conservation easements executed between the County and the California Department of Fish and Game. The land management program utilizes cattle grazing to best preserve the Conservation Program environment in strict conformity with all applicable policies, permits, and easements. The County has had grazing tenants over the past twelve plus years who have been good stewards of this regulated area and their license agreements with the County end in December 2025. Consistent with County best practices, staff will be opening the grazing license opportunities to other interested and qualified parties. Interested parties must be willing and capable to comply with the obligations under the HML. If staff receives competitive interest, the County will initiate a Phase II Request for Qualifications process for the four grazing areas at the Byron Airport. Grazing tenants are required to maintain their fences, gates, and water systems. The 934 acres within the Conservation Program has been divided into four separate grazing sections as follows: Area 1 is 468 acres; Area 2 is 127 acres; Area 3 is 122 acres; and Area 4 is 120 acres. Consistent with the current license agreements, the County must provide existing tenants with a minimum 12- month notice of termination if they will not be continuing as tenants. As such, Airport staff has been working with its Range Manager, Biologist, and a subcommittee of the Aviation Advisory Committee to review the grazing solicitation process, parameters, timing, and requirements. This process has been completed and the next step will be to initiate a Request for Proposals process for the use of the Conservation Program lands over the next fifteen years. Referral Update: The Los Vaqueros Expansion Project (Expansion Project) draft alignment shows a large portion of the new pipeline would generally be installed on the HML paralleling Armstrong Road on the south CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 1/17/2024Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™58 File #:24-0132 Agenda Date:1/22/2024 Agenda #:9. side of the property. The project sponsor is working with State and County staff to complete the environmental, refine the alignment, and identify necessary mitigation measures. This process is anticipated to take a year or more to complete. In the interim, the impact on the HML and associated tenants remains unknown. Recommendations/Next Steps: Due to the uncertainty of the Expansion Project alignment and impacts, staff will be recommending to the Board of Supervisors that the existing leases be extended until the Expansion Project placement is more refined and the impacts, if any, are identified. Fiscal Impact: None.

Unfortunately, due to the constraints imposed by the pandemic, these events were temporarily suspended for a period of three years. This hiatus was deemed necessary to ensure the safety of the community before resuming public gatherings and events. Referral Update:On December 2, 2023, Santa’s Jolly Landing at Buchanan Field marked a significant milestone by successfully taking place for the first time since 2019. Approximately 200 community members, representatives from airport businesses, stakeholders, members of the press, and elected officials convened at the Concord Plaza Hotel, which is situated within the premises of Buchanan Field Airport. The highlight of the occasion was the arrival of Santa, who made a grand entrance via our Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Truck. This event served a dual purpose, functioning not only as a festive gathering but also as a fundraiser for the Contra Costa Food Bank. A raffle was organized to generate financial support for the food bank, resulting in the collection of funds to contribute 1,120 meals to the organization. Looking ahead to 2024, the airport staff is eager to build upon this successful community outreach initiative. Plans are underway to introduce several new events aimed at enhancing public engagement and fostering a sense of community involvement. The commitment to these endeavors reflects the ongoing dedication of Contra Costa County Airports to serve as a hub for both aviation activities and meaningful contributions to the welfare of the local community. Recommendations/Next Steps: Discuss community engagement efforts by Airports Staff. Fiscal Impact:None.

The amendment restructured the meeting schedule, transitioning from monthly meetings to bi-monthly meetings throughout the calendar year. This modification inadvertently led to a gap in the bylaws, impacting the determination of meeting dates for the upcoming year, and the election of officer positions within the AAC. Referral Update: On January 11, 2024, the Aviation Advisory Committee voted to amend its bylaws. The amendment introduces updated language to align with the transition to bi-monthly meetings. Recommendations/Next Steps: Discuss the proposed changes to the Aviation Advisory Committee Bylaws. Fiscal Impact: none.
