Concerns had been expressed by City staff regarding whether not the location or altitude of the new tower would divert touch-and-go training flights into neighboring cities. This will be studied, but airport officials believe the new tower won't be causing any modifications in the touch-and-go air traffic. Recommendations: None 3. Recommendation for Appointments of Community Representatives to the North Field and South Field Study Groups and the Noise Forum Councilmember Starosciak reviewed the application and interview process for appointments to the North Field and South Field Groups, as well as the Noise Forum. The Committee concurred that Debra Brinson be appointed to the North Field Group, John Manuel and Gerd Marggraff be appointed to the South Field Group, and Will Fernandez be appointed to the Noise Forum. There is not a second community representative for the North Field at this time. Recommendations: Schedule City Council appointment of Debra Brinson to the North Field Group, John Manuel and Gerd Marggraff to the South Field Group, and Will Fernandez to the Noise Forum as San Leandro's community representatives. 4. Public Comments John Manuel commented on the insulation program and on appointments to the airport groups. 5. Committee Member Comments Councilmember Prola commented that the appointment process for the community representatives to the airport groups was complicated by the fact that few submitted applications, despite staff's efforts to notify the community. He also expressed the desire to see the appointment process as open as possible. Councilmember Starosciak thanked the Port representatives for attending the opening of the Bay Trail Bridge. She also discussed how the school districts benefited from the insulation program and how it has made a huge difference for the schools. 6. Adjourn The meeting adjourned at 9:46 a.m.
