Discussion Regarding Quarterly Reports from the Port of Oakland • Staff and Port of Oakland representatives explained the quarterly reports that are being shared with the City of San Leandro. • The reports are prepared for the City of Alameda and CLASS as a review of flight procedures pilots are using for noise abatement practices. The reports are provided in compliance with the existing settlement agreement between Alameda, CLASS and the Port. • Committee Member Santos suggested San Leandro should receive a similar report specific to San Leandro, particularly reporting on arrivals on runway 9 R/L. • Staff will make North Field Group reports on runways 9 R/L and 27 R/L available to the Committee Members. • Santos commented that San Leandro does not have a program to control landings on runway 27 R/L at night. Perhaps this could be discussed by the North Field Group. • He has observed numerous left turn departures from the south field over San Leandro and • asked if more could be straight out departures at night. • The Port will make CD copies of the quarterly report available to the community if requested.
