Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - September 16, 1991 Page - 15 - 11 . CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS A. Council Member Santos noted a letter from the Oakland Chamber of Commerce regarding the Oakland International Airport. He said, since he lives in the west end of town, he can testify to the fact that, on occasion, the Port of Oakland and the Airport have not been good neighbors as far as their utilization of Stage 2 Aircraft. He said it behooves the Port to attempt to be a good neighbor to the people who live in San Leandro adjacent to the Airport. He said people in the area have had their houses shaken in the middle of the night by loud aircraft. He noted the San Francisco International Airport had recently reached an agreement with the local home owners to soundproof their structures. He said he feels further dialogue should be opened with the Airport in an effort to help mitigate the noise problems and noise pollution. He specifically said there are twin-engine planes that pass over his area between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m. , as well as a 727 at 3:00 a.m. Mayor Karp suggested that the City Council meet with the Manager of the Port Authority and the Airport. Council Member Santos agreed with this proposal and requested that Larry Norry be invited to sit in on the Work Session. B. Council Member Corbett said she was glad staff had held a public meeting on September 12 related to the Davis Street/San Leandro Boulevard improvements and would like a report on the results of the meeting.
