PAGE 2 of 3 THIS FORM IS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, committee, or commission. Aviation Advisory Committee Airport Land Use Commission as a Proxy Commissioner 4 4 4 I am currently the Communications and Government Relations Manager for the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San). As stated previously, Central San's main campus, and my work location, are directly adjacent to Buchanan Airport. This proximity gives me a birds-eye view of the County's main airport and local land use around the airport. Additionally, my role is to listen and address community and customer needs at County, city, and local levels. I am constantly traveling and interacting within the County with the public and community leaders to hear problems, share information, and identify needs. Lastly, I was born and raised in Contra Costa and am passionate about bettering the local community. That only happens as an active participant that listens, learns, and supports proper use in and around the airport to balance business, airport, and citizens' needs. 4 I have had the privilege to serve over 8 years on the AAC, including as the Secretary, Vice Chair and Chair. Additionally, I have previously served as a proxy commission for the ALUC. This has allowed me to be engaged and updated on matters involving both county airports and aviation related issues, in general. As such, I have kept abreast of the critical role of the AAC and current policies and issues it weighs as part of the Committee's consideration process. Uniquely, I both live and work within Buchanan Airport's influence area. I reside within the flight path of RW19 in Pleasant Hill, and I work adjacent to the airport at the intersection of HW 4 and I-680. My employer, Central San, owns and operates over 300+ acres as a neighbor to the Buchanan Airport. As such, I can observe airport operations at Buchanan throughout the day from my office or home. My career also puts me in close interaction with the public to hear and receive feedback about airport concerns within the County. 9 1025 Escobar Street, 1st Floor Martinez, CA 94553 Submit this application to: ClerkofTheBoard@cob.cccounty.us OR Clerk of the Board 6.

Advisory Board: Airport Committee Subject: Update on National & Local Transition to Unleaded Aviation Gasoline (“Avgas”) Presenter: Greg Baer, Director of Airports Background: The general aviation industry, including airports across the nation are committed to eliminating lead from Avgas prior to the Federal Government’s legislative mandate of January 1, 2031. The transition away from lead must be done in a safe and reliable way without jeopardizing the operational safety of piston powered aircraft. As passed into law through SB 1193, California’s ban on leaded Avgas has the same deadline of January 1, 2031. The Federal ban on lead in Avgas was promulgated through the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) 2024 Reauthorization Bill, that also created the requirement for general aviation airports like Buchanan Field and Byron Airport to continue to provide 100 low-lead (100LL) until the 2031 deadline, or when a commercially available and feasible 100 octane unleaded alternative is available at airports. Discontinuing the sale of 100LL prior to either one of those milestones would be a violation of Contra Costa County’s FAA Grant Assurances. Over the last year, the developments and progress towards an unleaded Avgas future has unfolded at a rapid rate. While an unleaded option (Swift UL94) has been in the marketplace for the last couple of years, it does not eliminate the use of leaded fuel because UL94 can only be used in approximately 68% of all piston powered aircraft. However, it should be noted that 70% of all 100LL is used by the 30% of the general aviation fleet that cannot use fuel having less than 100 octane. UL94 has an octane rating of 94, six points lower than the needed 100 octane to run in all aircraft. Lead is the additive in gasoline used to achieve the higher octane. To that end, the challenge remains bringing a safe, widely accepted, and commercially available and feasible 100 octane fuel to airports. Currently, there are three companies (GAMI, Swift, and LyondellBasell/VP Racing) leading the way in bringing an unleaded alternative to market, with each company taking a different path to achieve regulatory approval, as well as industry and aircraft owner/user acceptance. Within the last couple of months, GAMI achieved its first sales at Santa Clara County’s Reid Hillview Airport and subsequently started selling at Watsonville Airport. While the G100UL product is commercially available due to its existence at two California airports, an Alameda County judge ruled on March 5, 2025, that the G100UL fuel is not yet commercially feasible. Swift fuels’ 100R product has limited approval for certain Cessna aircraft models and is being used at a flight school at the San Carlos Airport. In terms of process to gain supply chain and end-user (aircraft owners and operators) acceptance, the most notable difference between the three current developers/producers of unleaded Avgas is that Swift and LyondellBasell/VP Racing are going through an industry consensus production specification process through an ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) International procedure, whereas GAMI has said it will CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 3/14/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™50 File #:25-982 Agenda Date:3/20/2025 Agenda #:5. not subject its fuel (G100UL) to an ASTM process. From a risk and liability perspective, there are industry concerns related to airframe and engine warranties, as well as those involved in fuel supply chain, given GAMI’s lack of ASTM certification. The transition to unleaded Avgas requires more than FAA regulatory approval, it’s going to need acceptance from aircraft owners, fuel distributors, Fixed Base Operators (FBO), and local governmental entities who must perform their own risk analyses. Recommendation/Next Steps: The Contra Costa County Airports Division will continue to work towards bringing unleaded fuel to both of its airports. The County owned and operated fuel concession at Byron consists of only one fuel tank. Thus, a transition to UL94 prior to a commercially available and feasible 100 octane unleaded fuel would have to include a tank infrastructure plan and an associated capital project for an additional tank. At Buchanan Field the transition is being done in partnership with the FBO that dispenses Avgas, Pacific States Aviation (PSA) who will begin with Swift’s UL94 product prior to the arrival of a commercially available and feasible unleaded 100-octane fuel. Airports staff will continue to work collaboratively with PSA and Swift Fuel representatives to plan transition logistics, funding, and pilot/end user outreach. While the date of an unleaded fuel option (UL 94) at Buchanan Field in calendar year 2025 has not yet been determined, staff will update its website and issue a press release as soon as a delivery date is available. Lastly, Airports staff is researching funding sources outside of the Airport Enterprise Fund to help fund the capital costs needed to add an unleaded option, as well as to establish an incentive program for aircraft owners to use the unleaded fuel. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 3/14/2025Page 2 of 2 powered by Legistar™51 CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Staff Report 1025 ESCOBAR STREET MARTINEZ, CA 94553 File #:25-983 Agenda Date:3/20/2025 Agenda #:6. Advisory Board: Airport Committee Subject: Recommendation to Establish Hangar Waitlist Annual Maintenance Fee Presenter: Greg Baer, Director of Airports Background: The County’s Airports Division owns, maintains, and rents out 185 aircraft hangars comprised of small T- hangars and larger box hangars. Like most airports, County Airports staff maintains hangar waitlists for those desiring to house their aircraft at Buchanan or Byron Airport, or move to a different hangar based on size, location, or price point. Typically, there is an administrative fee charged to be placed on a waitlist, and it’s also common for an annual maintenance fee to be collected to account for the staff time required to manage the waitlists. The County does not have an established fee to maintain these lists that require staff’s routine attention. As evidenced through the County’s current practices, a free waitlist program inherently results in individuals remaining on a list who may not fully intend to accept a hangar when offered, resulting in an artificially long list. Because waitlist details are considered by Airports management and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for certain business decisions, waitlist accuracy is very important. A waitlist program that includes annual updates by applicants as well as a maintenance fee will result in more precise waitlists. Recommendation/Next Steps: Based on the FAA’s requirement for airports to be as financially self-sustaining as possible, and the need to use best management practices related to accurate waitlists, it is the Director of Airports’ recommendation to establish an initial waitlist fee of $30, with an annual waitlist maintenance fee of $30. This item was on the Aviation Advisory Committee’s agenda of March 13, 2025, and the Committee unanimously recommended the establishment and implementation of this fee.
