SUBJECT: Pacific Southwest Airlines
Service from Buchanan Field
The Board received a memorandum dated May 31 , 1985 from
J . Michael Walford , Public Works Director , providing the Board with
information relating to a meeting between the Concord Chamber of
Commerce Aviation Committee and representatives of Pacific Southwest
Airlines (PSA) relative to the possibility of PSA scheduled service
out of Buchanan Field . Mr. Walford stated that although there have
been a number of stories in the news media regarding the issues , the
meeting was strictly an information gathering session on both sides
for future study, with no commitments made by PSA as to when , if
ever , they would consider services into this area .
Mr . Walford noted that PSA is flying a new type of airplane
which meets all noise standards for 1990 and beyond, and is fully
capable of operating within noise abatement procedures established
by the Aviation Advisory Committee and the Board of Supervisors .
Mr . Walford stated that there has been no formal contact
between the Public Works Department and PSA, and that it is anticipated
that there would be a considerable amount of time between a decision by
PSA to provide commercial service out of Buchanan Field and the actual
occurence of such service . He noted that any agreement for such
service by PSA would require Board approval .
On recommendation of Supervisor Sunne W. McPeak, IT IS BY
THE BOARD ORDERED that the Public Works Director is AUTHORIZED to
communicate directly with PSA with respect to the possibility of PSA
scheduled service out of Buchanan Field Airport .
