The meeting was called to order at 9:04 a.m. 1. Report on Airport Noise Insulation Program William Schock reported that discussions with the Port of Oakland for them to continue funding the program are progressing well. Staff met last week with Port representatives who say they are very close to bringing a proposed agreement to the Port Board of Directors for consideration. The agreement would then, in turn, be brought to the Committee and ultimately the City Council for consideration. The proposed agreement would recommend funding the insulation program for the waiting 71 homes, and construction could proceed this summer. The Port further would propose that a sunset to the program be set for December 31, 2015 to insulate 46 more homes, which would complete the 200-home project. Recommendations: None Z. Report from the Port of Oakland Regarding a New Air Traffic Control Tower Project Tony Godkin from the Port of Oakland gave a report on the FAA's project to build a new air traffic control tower on airport property. Construction is expected to begin in August and be completed in about 2 years. Once the FAA has commissioned the operation of the new tower (which could take about a year), the existing North Field Tower will be demolished. The decision as to what to do with the existing South Field Tower will take further study.
