• • questions. He has noticed the increase of airport noise in his neighborhood since he bought his home 4 years ago. If it continues to increase, what will trigger the Port to insulate more homes? He also spoke on the importance of using single event noise measurements in the ANIP. • Wafaa Aborashed asked if the ANIP consultant had been selected by the City yet. The City Manager clarified that staff has recommended CKSA but they will not be formally selected by the City until the City Council approved a contractual services agreement. Ms. Aborashed also asked that the City provide more outreach to the community regarding the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report done on the Airport Development Plan, particularly as it relates to the impacts from air pollution. She feels the City should be educating the community on the cumulative impacts of air pollution from all sources in the area. Francois Gallo asked what had happened to negotiations to eliminate the grant of easement from the ANIP. He asked if noise levels will be taken for each of the 200 hones before and after construction, and what rooms of the homes would be insulated. He also asked for a target date for the retirement of the 727's from FedEx's fleet. The City Manager replied that the terms of the settlement agreement had been negotiated by himself and the City Attorney and that the grant of easement is required by the Port for the ANIP because they are paying for the ANIP with their own general funds, not with federal funding. William Schock said that a minimum of 10% of the homes in the ANIP would have sound measurements taken, and that the "habitable" rooms of each of the insulated homes would be insulated, using the definition of habitable as listed in the California Uniform Building Code (e.g. bedrooms, livingrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, but not garages). Carole Wedl from the Port of Oakland said that FedEx forecasts that only 1 of their 727's will still be in the fleet at the airport by the year 2010. Jim Matthews said that as a San Leandro resident he feels that the City is doing a good job with regards to airport matters and feels that he is receiving good value for his tax dollar. He encouraged the City to "keep up the good work." (Wafaa Aborashced echoed his statement.) 7. Committee Member Comments Committee Member Santos reported that the Port's Director of Aviation, Steve Grossman, spoke at a recent Industrial Roundtable meeting, stating that he has heard that FedEx has 5 727's in use at night now in Oakland and they expect to phase those out in less than two years. Committee Member Young said she would like staff to spend some time with Ms. Aborashed regarding the cumulative impacts of air pollution in the area. 8. Adjourned at 5:10 p.m.
