Update on Airport Noise Insulation Program William Schock gave an update on the City's Airport Noise Insulation Program. The initial architectural surveys have been done on the 10 pilot homes to receive insulation first. Four homes in the project area have been selected for pre- and post - construction noise testing. Bid documents should be sent out in May for the construction contractor(s). Resident Judy Harris of Charlotte Avenue is owner of one of the 10 pilot homes. She had questions about the avigation easement. The consultant has not yet distributed the new avigation easement documents. Staff will make certain those are available to the homeowners as soon as possible. Ms. Harris also expressed concerns regarding the requirement to move furniture and remove the contents of her attic so insulation can be done. Her husband is disabled and she is unable to accomplish these tasks on her own. Committee Member Santos asked if there would be some way the City could assist with a program for this work. However, Committee Members Grant and Nardine expressed reservations in the City becoming involved. They were concerned about liability and the need to provide that kind of service to all participants. Carole Wedl, representing the Port of Oakland, said that in the Alameda insulation program tasks of this nature are the responsibility of the homeowner.
