The Aviation Advisory Committee has considered this request and has recommended that one seat be added to the Aviation Advisory Committee representing East County interests. The Aviation Advisory Committee noted that such a change would require an amendment to their by-laws before recruitment could be undertaken. We concur with the recommendation of the Aviation Advisory Committee and have, therefore, made the above recommendations in order to accommodate all concerned interests. q , t BYRON ADVISORY COUNCIL ' P.O.Box 454, Byron California 94514 17 October 1990 Contralcosta County Airports 510 Sally Ride Drive Concord, California 94520 Atten: Mr Harold E. Wight Manager of Airports f Dear Mr. Wight, . It has been brought to our attention the representation on the board, addressing issues of the Byron Airport, is very light in respect to members of this immediate community and allowing direct input as actual members of the group: We formally request the appointment of two new members to your Airport Committee. 1) We recommend a member of the Byron Advisory Council be a standing appointment. At this time we feel the best qualified to the appointment would be Mr. Wayne Baio. 2) The second member, we feel should be a member at large from the immediate Byron community, preferably adjacent property owners. Upon request, we will provide you with a list of recommendations. Since Byron is our town, we have a major interest in the development of the Airport. Our input should be of great importance to you. At this time we feel a grave discrimination has taken place, simply by not including the immediate community in your plans for our community. Thankyou, in advance, for your immediate response to this situation. Respectfully Submitted, Marty�S hultz Corr�4onding Secretary MAS/ma `J CC: Tom Torlakson J. Michael Walford Contra Costa County - Aviation Advisory Committee _ _ Buchanan Field Airport `( ov\5 tde r W Vim- 510 Sally Ride Drive, Concord, CA 94520 January 29, 1991 Supervisor Tom Powers, Chair Board of Supervisors 100-37th Street, Room 270 Richmond, CA 94805 Dear Chairman Powers: Since the problem of land acquisition at the Byron Airport has been resolved, there has been an increasing level of interest by users and citizens in the Byron area regarding the new airport. The current representative,Anthony Stellar appointed by Supervisor Torlakson,has been doing an outstanding job of representing the users and citizens in that area. We have, however, had requests from the airport users as well as from the Byron Advisory Council (letter attached) for representation on the Aviation Advisory Committee. The AAC has discussed this matter over the past several meetings. —The AAC c a�ntly consists of 11 members. The workability of a committee this size is marginal to best.7Tome concern was voiced by the committee regarding increasing the size beyond its present numbers. The committee examined a variety of different options.. These options included recommendations of adding no members up to three members. The Aviation Advisory Committee unanimously decided to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that one additional "member at large h—the Fast cou ty" be added to the make-up of the Aviation Advisory Committee. he person appointed would have to live in the East County. This would allow the Board to select a person from the area at large through the application process. If the Board of Supervisors decides it is appropriate to add a member to the AAC, the process, as we understand it, is that the Board would so direct and the AAC would then change its bylaws. Following this the Board would advertise for the position and make a selection. If you would like to discuss this matter further, you may contact me by leaving a message on my recorder at 687-2809.
