lVlINUTES Page 12 City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-November 15,2004 Howard Cin, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, stating that he lives on Neptune Drive, and his house is the closest house to the airport. Mr. Cin urged the Council not to approve the addendunl to the Settlement Agreement, as it does nothing to further nlitigate airport noise impacts. Dennis Rosucci, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, commenting that information he has received as an altell1ate on the Masterplan Stakeholders Advisory Committee indicates that the majority of growth at the airport will be experienced at the South Field. Mr. Rosucci requested that the Council consider adding a sentence to the addendum regarding the continuation of the South Field Group. Kathy Sanchez, President of Marina Garden Homeowners Association, addressed the City Council in support of the amendment to the addendum to the 2000 Settlement Agreement which would provide legal status to the South Field Group and provide a fonlnl for the Association to address airport noise issues. Harold Perez, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, commenting on the concessions Inade by the Port in the addendum to the Settlement Agreement. He concurred with previous speakers that Inore study needs to be done on the ILS. Mr. Perez stated that he is tape recording the Ineeting and suggested the City ask the Port to agree to a curfew. Councihnenlber Santos conl1nented that the City cannot revert back to the 2000 Settlement Agreenlent, as it doesn't give residents of West San Leandro sufficient protection. He thanked staff and his colleagues on the Airport COlnmittee for the good work on the addendum. Councilmelnber Santos noted that there are protections contained in the addendum which will further reduce noise, and the City will receive some additional benefits fronl the Port such as the conlpletion of Eden Road, landscaping of Doolittle Drive, and inlprovements at the intersection of Doolittle and Davis. Additionally, the City will have the oppOliunity to negotiation further benefits and nlitigation with the Port, including increased noise insulation.

She described the flight paths of planes using the two runways. Councilmember Glaze asked which runways regional jets and large and heavy cargo aircraft will use if they are restricted fronl NOlih Field runways. Ms. Ornelas indicated that they will use South Field runways. Councilnlenlber Glaze asked about the alternate flight path used by jets in inclement weather and on which runways those planes land. Ms. Ornelas stated that those planes land on the South Field. Councihnenlber Glaze conlnlented that the general public would not be able to understand the language of the agreenlent and suggested it would help to include SOlne maps. He asked where the second ILS is being proposed. Mr. J ermanis noted that the City had proposed moving the ILS fronl 27 Right to 27 Left.
