BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors created the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) in 1970 to promote the orderly development of compatible land uses around each public airport in the County, in order to safeguard both the interests of the general public and the welfare of inhabitants in the areas surrounding the airports. The California Public Utilities Code requires and specifies the composition of the ALUC, whose membership shall include:
(1) Two representing the cities in the county, appointed by a city selection committee comprised of the mayors of all the cities within that county, except that if there are any cities contiguous or adjacent to the qualifying airport, at least one representative shall be appointed therefrom.
(2) Two representing the county, appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
(3) Two having expertise in aviation, appointed by a selection committee comprised of the managers of all of the public airports within that county.
(4) One representing the general public, appointed by the other six members of the commission.
The seat terms are four years, expiring the first Monday in May. The term of the Airport Manager’s Appointee 2 Commissioner seat expires on May 6, 2030.
The Director of Airports recommends the reappointment of Shawn M. Stappen to the Airport Manager’s Appointee 2 Commissioner seat to a term ending on May 6, 2030.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Airport Manager’s Appointee 2 Commissioner seat on the Airport Land Use Commission would become vacant.
