II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Contra Costa Alliance for Aviation (CCAA) would be allocated the space at no cost.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: The Contra Costa Alliance for Aviation (CCAA) is an organization of non- profit groups currently operating at the Airport. The CCAA includes the Civil Air Patrol , the Ninety Nines and Mt. Diablo Pilots Association. These organizations are presently conducting their activities at a variety of locations on or in close proximity to the Airport.

The CAP is currently operating from a very old military Quonset but on the west side of the Airport. This is in a location which will be developed for other airport uses.

Div.: Public Works (AP) cc: County Administrator Auditor-Controller P.W. Accounting Contra Costa Alliance for Aviation (via p/w> . . ' ' The Civil Air Patrol is a highly valuable asset to the Airport, as well as the County. The Civil Air Patrol not only provides a Vary high percentage of all search and rescue work in the United States, but also has an excellent program for their cadets. The other non-profit organizations belonging to CCAA also provide valuable services and input directly to the Airport. These organizations are essential in implementing some of the Airport goals, such as noise abatement programs and safety programs. CCAA has requested that space he allocated on the Airport for eventual development Of a common use building including offices, meeting rooms and a small hangar. If approved, this building would be developed in accordance with Buchanan Field Airport Development Standards. They would operate strictly as a non-profit organization and would not compete directly or indirectly with any of the commercial aviation businesses On the Airport. This facility will also provide as a potential major focal point for emergency activities should they be needed. The Aviation Advisory Committee has evaluated the request Of the CCAA. The Aviation Advisory Committee recommends that the master planning consultant be directed to include space for CCAA's hangar/Offices in the upcoming Master Plan. The space should be allocated and tentatively ide'ntified as a no cost allocation to CCAA for the space only. The AAC further recommends, however* that the County not incur any expense for this development other than the allocation of the space. The AAC also recommends that a lease he entered into and the building to be built within two years of completion of the Master Plan unless further approval for extension Of time is granted by the Board of Supervisors after further review. Total space allocated to he based upon a determination of need and availability by the master planning consultant. The lease with CCAA would be negotiated after completion of the Master Plan and the County would not be committed to space except in concept until the lease was approved . The Aviation Advisory Committee also recommend that in light of its emergency services that consideration should include the American Red Cross in the same building. The Public Works Department concurs with the recommendations of the AAC.
