l\lINUTES Page 15 City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-November 15,2004 Councilmember Glaze expressed concenl that the City would be getting no noise relief from this action. Ms. Ornelas pointed out that having the two ILSs will allow the flexibility to shift operations at night. During the day, the training flights would remain on 27 Left and the instrument landings would continue on 27 Right. At night, the instrument landings could move to 27 Left, thereby reducing noise over the 27 Right flight path. Ms. Ornelas noted that the Port suggested that the City draft the preferential runway use agreement, and working the FAA and North Field Research Group, ways would be sought to make it work. Councihnember Stephens asked if the Port would have violated the 2000 Agreement if it refused to nlove the ILS from 27 Right to 27 Left. Ms. Williams indicated that the court would likely rule that it would be an inlpossibility to perform and would relieve the Port from cOll1plying with that provision of the agreelnent. Ms. Ornelas pointed out that there would also be a disadvantage to forcing the ILS 1110ve as the daytinle impacts from touch-and-go flights would increase. Vice Mayor Badger asked how much 6me and effort it would take to get anything more from the agreenlent than what we have no\v. Mr. Jermanis stated that the agreement is substantially that to which the Port will agree. The main issues to which the City wanted agreenlent were the preferential runway use agreement, restricting regional jets from the North Field and clarification on the language of the avigation easement. Councihnenlber Glaze expressed concern that the FAA could reject some of the provisions of the agreenlent. Councihnenlber Santos commented that the preferential runway use agreement would reduce nighttime operations over the affected community. Councilmember N ardine stated that she would approve the resolution with the language modification she requested and the inclusion of the language regarding the South Field Research Group. Adopted with the following amendments to the Addendum to the Settlement Agreement: Strike the word "information" from the sentence, "At the City's request, the Port will facilitate a public information meeting with the FAA on any environmental documents related to the ILS." Add the following sentence: "The Port shall continue the South Field Research Group and will continue to work in good faith with the Cities of San Leandro and Alameda to address the noise issues that result from the South Field operations." M/S/C Santos and Nardine. Ayes: 5; Noes: 0; Absent: 1 (Young); Abstain: 1 (Grant)
