Members of the public present:
Seventeen members of the public were present on the Zoom webinar.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
None.
REPORTS/ACTION ITEMS
1. Approval of Minutes for October 27, 2022
A motion was made by Council Member Syrop and seconded by Council Member Goldstein.
The motion passed unanimously; minutes approved as submitted.
2. Oral Presentation: Hangar Repair Project Update – Phase III
Airport Operations Supervisor Pamela Svrdlin provided an update on the hangar repair project.
Committee Questions
Council Member Syrop asked what the FAA grant amount would be for a non-revenue producing hangar repair. Airport Manager McNeeley answered that the FAA grants are for common areas of the airport and most hangars are revenue-generating.
Council Member Zermeño asked why there is only a 10-year guarantee for new roofs on the hangar buildings. Ms. Svrdlin responded that the project wasn’t a complete replacement, but a repair, and so the guaranteed time is less.
Public Comments
Drew Detsch, hangar tenant, thanked staff for the much-needed fix of hangar roofs.
Mimi Dean asked where the tenants’ aircraft were relocated during the project. Airport Operations Supervisor Svrdlin responded.
Director Ameri commented that Airport is self-sufficient. None of the money it makes can be transferred to the General Fund and used for non-airport purposes.
Committee Comments
None.
3. FY23 and FY24 Hangar Rent Increase and FY24 Master Fee Changes at Hayward Executive Airport
Mr. McNeeley presented the report.
Committee Questions
CM Goldstein asked for the number of hangar vacancies, how long they have been vacant, and if there is sufficient interest in the vacant hangars. Airport Manager McNeeley answered that there are a total of 8 vacancies since November 2022 and there is an adequate number of people on the wait list to fill any vacancies.
CM Goldstein asked how much of an increase in hangar rents will occur in Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24). Staff explained the increase in rents will be 6% for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23), which should have been effective as of July 1, 2022. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculation will determine the rent increase amount in FY24, and it is expected to not exceed $30.00 per month on top of the FY23 rate. All future increases will be effective at the start of each fiscal year (July 1st).
CM Syrop asked why land rent was projected to be over $1 million for FY24. Mr. Strojny explained the figure includes the rent for two hotels plus the expected development at the California Air National Guard (CANG) site.
CM Syrop asked for a status update on the recommendations from the 2017 market rate study and if we were still 51% below the average. Director Ameri summarized the rent increases resulting from the study. Hangar rents are still below comparable airports in 2023 and staff is looking at increases based on the CPI instead of another market rate study.
CM Zermeño asked how the Home2Suites hotel is performing. Airport Manager McNeeley answered that the performance is meeting expectations and they are working on a plan to address the landscaping.
Public Comments
Drew Detsch, tenant, said there was no outreach for public comment, and he discovered the planned rent increase after looking at the CAC agenda. Mr. Detsch pointed out that there are vacant hangars and that he knew of a hangar which has been vacant for 4-6 months.
Mimi Dean, resident, was surprised Airport subsidizes their tenants so much with their rents and if the same offer was extended to the Hayward Area Recreation District (HARD).
Harry Shin, tenant, expressed concern over the eight hangar vacancies. He feels that the proposed rent increases will only add to the Airport’s surplus. Mr. McNeeley explained that the surplus revenue will be used towards $18 million in pavement needs. Director Ameri said that the current vacancy rate is only 3.8%. Airport requires more revenue, and development of the California Air National Guard (CANG) site might not happen in the way staff projects.
The proposed rent increases will be recirculated into airport improvements, which will benefit all tenants.
Committee Comments
Council Member Goldstein asked if there was time for more debate and to obtain public input.
Airport Business Supervisor Strojny replied that the rent increase item was scheduled for City Council’s agenda in mid-February. Airport Manager McNeeley said he would be happy to hold a tenant meeting to obtain more input, and then report that information to City Council.
CM Syrop commented that the rent increases are appropriate. For the future, he wants staff to look at the Master Fee Schedule and reflect how jet operations impact the airport infrastructure.
CM Zermeño asked for a comparison between the rent of a small t-hangar and a jet owner at a Fixed Base Operator (FBO). Mr. McNeeley answered that a small t-hangar rents for $294.00/month and a jet can rent space at the FBO for $15,000.00/month.
CM Zermeño asked about the effect of a jet on the pavement versus the effect of a small aircraft. Mr. McNeeley stated that several factors affect pavement wear, including the number of takeoffs and landings, and the point load of each aircraft. Wet weather also affects the pavement surface.
CM Zermeño commented that he is fine with the proposed rent increases as the rental rates are still trying to catch up to the market rate study of 2017.
A motion was made by CM Goldstein and seconded by CM Syrop to recommend presentation of this item to City Council for their approval after Airport Staff holds a meeting with the tenants.
The motion passed unanimously.
4. Oral Presentation: Update on Reuse of Skywest Property
Airport Manager McNeeley presented the informational report. He added that staff will be attending the Eden Area Municipal Advisory Council (Eden Area MAC) meeting on February 14, 2023, to present the same information to that group.
Committee Questions
Council Member Goldstein asked for more information on the plans for redevelopment of Skywest Property. Airport Manager McNeeley suggested the most complete information can be found on the Airport’s website.
CM Syrop questioned the current impact of aircraft and jet fuel emissions on the surrounding neighborhood versus the proposed development. Airport Manager McNeeley answered that there would be no associated increase with jet fuel emissions because the proposed aviation development is shade hangars with solar panels for small aircraft. Additionally, this project has not yet had the required National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) & California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) evaluations.
CM Syrop asked what the difference was between Runway Protection Zone and Runway Safety Area. Mr. McNeeley stated the two areas are similar in size and shape and overlap on the Skywest Property redevelopment plan.
CM Syrop wants to see the wildlife and ecological information when it is received.
Public Comments
Mimi Dean, resident, pointed out conflicting runway safety zone depictions between the GIS map on the website and the map used in the slideshow presentation. Other items included ensuring compliance with the City’s Master Plan related to park spaces; preservation of the monarch butterflies and western palm turtles; and California Executive Order N-82-20, which pertains to climate change. Director Ameri said that staff will review these items and give a response to the CAC.
Liz Dennis-Eisler, resident, is against removing the ponds at the Skywest Property, wants to keep the open space, and is against additional business parks.
Ann E Maris, PhD, feels the priority for the airport and neighborhood should be open green space and needs to keep the environment in mind when developing open space.
Douglas Spalding, resident, urged the committee to not develop the Skywest Property because it has become a community space and environmental habitat for wildlife since the golf course closed. He suggested that the Airport lease the property for $1.00/year to East Bay Parks & Recreation District to manage it.
Sheila McClellan, resident, said that the Skywest property is part of the wetland network and needs to be preserved.
Committee Comments
None.
5. Updated 2023 Agenda Planning Calendar
Airport Manager McNeeley presented the informational report of the upcoming items.
Committee Questions
CM Goldstein asked about internship opportunities at the airport. Mr. McNeeley responded that staff is looking into what is available and will report back to the committee.
Public Comments

SUBJECT: 21015 Skywest Drive: Assignment/Assumption of Ground Lease with Hayward FBO, LLC.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council Airport Committee (CAC) reviews this report and recommends approval to Council.
SUMMARY
On February 27, 20181, Council approved an agreement with Briggs Resources for the leasehold previously held by American Aircraft Sales. This lease was assigned to GBHWD, LLC, (a subsidiary of Briggs Resources) in February 2019. Earlier this year, GBHWD, LLC agreed to assign the interest in this leasehold to Hayward FBO, LLC. DBA: APP Jet Center (APP). APP will develop a new hangar and office space similar to that proposed by GBHWD, LLC.
If this assignment is approved by the Committee, the item will be forwarded onto Council in late May 2023 for consideration.
BACKGROUND
American Aircraft Sales (AAS), which was an Airport commercial tenant since 1958, entered into a new ground lease on December 10, 2010 for “Plot G” at 21015 Skywest Drive. This parcel consists of approximately 119,159 square feet of improved land. Despite best efforts, the lease ended in default and AAS vacated the premises on December 31, 2015. During the latter part of 2016, Briggs Resources, Inc., notified the City of their interest in acquiring the leasehold. Subsequent discussions culminated in an agreement that was approved by Council on February 27, 2018. On February 19, 20192, Council
1 CITY OF HAYWARD - File #: CONS 18-106 (legistar.com)
2 CITY OF HAYWARD - File #: CONS 19-079 (legistar.com)
approved a subsequent assignment of the lease from Briggs Resources, Inc. to GBHWD, LLC, which was a new California LLC that had been set up for this development.
DISCUSSION
APP is planning to construct a 40,000 square foot hangar on the parcel as well as build a 6,000 square foot office area. The initial lease term is thirty-five years, with two options of seven and one-half years each after the end of the initial term. In addition to the lease term, all other conditions associated with the existing lease remain unchanged and are unaffected.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The office and hangar construction will generate work for skilled and unskilled tradespeople. Post-construction, the City’s General Fund will benefit from any additional sales tax generated from the new hangar tenants. Furthermore, this project will benefit the local economy by providing job opportunities and generating sales tax from aircraft sales.
FISCAL IMPACT
Annual rent will be $41,706, which reflects the current rate for aviation-related uses of $0.35 per square foot, per year. Per Attachment C to the lease, rent will be adjusted every five years, first by a market rate study and then by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous five years, not-to-exceed a maximum of 7%.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item pertains to development at the Airport and does not directly relate to any of the six priorities outlined in the Council’s Strategic Roadmap.
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
The Airport is strongly committed to developing projects that are environmentally responsible. Therefore, staff will ensure that all plans proposed by the developer incorporate features that are commensurate with the City’s sustainability guidelines.
PUBLIC CONTACT
The original lease was presented to and approved by the CAC on February 1, 20183 and approved by Council on February 27, 2018. The assignment was approved by Council on February 19, 2019. The agenda and staff report for this item have been posted on the City’s website and distributed to interested parties.

SUMMARY
Hayward Hangars has been a commercial tenant at Hayward Executive Airport (HWD) since 2006 and provides storage space for general aviation aircraft. They plan to construct new box hangars on their leasehold. In order to comply with the conditions put forth by an investor who will be financing the construction of Hangar Building “A,” as well as to standardize the language associated with term length, an amendment is required at this time.
Changes to the agreement are outlined in the staff report and all other terms and conditions contained within the lease remain unchanged.
If approved by the CAC, staff will submit this item for Council approval in late May 2023.
BACKGROUND
Hayward Hangars has operated at HWD since 2006 at 20995 Skywest Drive (Attachment II).
They provide storage space for general aviation aircraft. Currently, two hangar buildings are active, while a third hangar is in the planning stage.
On September 21, 2021, Council approved a new lease with Hayward Hangars, with the terms and conditions consistent with their previous lease.
Recently, the president of Hayward Hangars approached the airport staff about amending the lease related to the notification process in the event of lease cancellation.
DISCUSSION
Hayward Hangars is preparing to construct the third hangar. However, the lender is requiring Hayward Hangars to revise Section 8.02 of the lease in order to secure the necessary financing. In brief, the revision requires the consent of the trustee for the bonds prior to Hayward Hangars terminating the lease due to substantial changes in laws that would affect their ability to operate.
The other change covered by this amendment standardizes and clarifies term language between Sections 1.01 and 1.07 by noting in Section 1.01 that the initial term is thirty-two years, which is automatically extended by eight years if a certificate of occupancy is issued for Hangar Building “A”, and not an initial term of forty years. For Section 1.07, it is noted that the initial term expires on December 13, 2054, but is automatically extended to December 13, 2062 if a certificate of occupancy is issued for Hanger Building “A”.
All other terms and conditions contained within the lease remain unchanged.
Development cannot proceed until the project is approved by the FAA. As originally conceived, the proposed hangar obstructed the view of an adjacent taxiway from the FAA air traffic control tower. However, the project proponent has spent many years working with the FAA and City staff to resolve this conflict.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
Hayward Hangars will provide employment opportunities for skilled workers in the immediate area during the construction of Hangar Building “A.”
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is directly associated with this amendment to the agreement with Hayward Hangars.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item pertains to development at the Airport and does not directly relate to any of the six priorities outlined in the Council’s Strategic Roadmap.
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
The action taken for this report will not result in physical development, purchase, or service, or a new policy/legislation.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Airport staff have held numerous meetings with Hayward Hangars, including this lease amendment.
NEXT STEPS
If approved by the CAC, staff will submit this item for Council approval in late May 2023.

SUBJECT
Evaluation of Airport Noise Program for Calendar Year 2022
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council Airport Committee (CAC) reviews this report and provides comments; no action is necessary.
SUMMARY
The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in a decline in activity within the general aviation industry, including a significant reduction in the number of aircraft operations (takeoffs and landings) at general aviation airports in the United States during calendar year (CY) 2020. This decrease in operations led to a corresponding decrease in the number of noise complaints during the same time frame.
However, as the COVID-19 pandemic eased during 2021, aircraft operations at Hayward Executive Airport (HWD) increased from 130,172 operations in CY 2021 to 134,312 operations in CY 2022. In spite of the increased operations, noise complaints decreased during CY 2022 as outlined in the staff report.

SUMMARY
The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in a decline in activity within the general aviation industry, including a significant reduction in the number of aircraft operations (takeoffs and landings) at general aviation airports in the United States during calendar year (CY) 2020. This decrease in operations led to a corresponding decrease in the number of noise complaints during the same time frame.
However, as the COVID-19 pandemic eased during 2021, aircraft operations at Hayward Executive Airport (HWD) increased from 130,172 operations in CY 2021 to 134,312 operations in CY 2022. In spite of the increased operations, noise complaints decreased during CY 2022 as outlined in the staff report.
BACKGROUND
In July 1991, the City adopted Ordinance 91-16 to regulate aircraft noise at HWD. As a result, staff administers a noise program that includes the operation of noise monitors and the investigation of every noise complaint that is received. Staff also conducts pilot education seminars, distributes information on noise abatement procedures, and participates in outreach activities.
This report addresses the operational results for calendar year 2022.
DISCUSSION
Comparison of CY 2022 to CY 2021
The operational results for calendar year 2022 in comparison with calendar year 2021 are outlined below:
CATEGORY CY 2021 CY 2022
Aircraft Operations 130,172 134,312
Complaints Received 303 292
Complaints Addressed 303 292
Noise Exceedances 100 71
Please note the following definitions:
Aircraft Operations – The number of takeoffs and landings for a defined period Complaints Received – The number of complaints received through email, letters, and calls to the Airport Noise Hotline
Complaints Addressed – The number of responses by staff to noise complaints Noise Exceedances – The number of aircraft that exceed published noise limits in decibels established by the City Noise Ordinance
Airport Operations Versus Complaints
There is typically a correlation between the number of aircraft operations and the number of noise complaints received. As the number of operations increase, so do the number of complaints. The number of complaints received at HWD for CY 2022 decreased from 303 in CY 2021 to 292 in CY 2022, while the number of operations increased over the same period, from 130,172 to 134,312.

Airport Operations Vs Complaints
Operations Complaints
In September, staff received complaints regarding a high-performance twin engine aircraft that participated in the HWD Open House. The aircraft have a unique noise signature and they did exceed the Airport Noise Ordinance limitations.
Airport Operations Versus Exceedances
The total number of exceedances generally remained constant. From June to November, there is typically an increase in the exceedances as these months experience increases to operations as the result of better flying conditions.

Households Versus Total Complaints
The term “Households” corresponds to the address and name at an individual residence.
When an address is provided, staff notes the neighborhood, city, and pattern of complaints.
Multiple complaints can come from one household, which is presented as the total number of household complaints (228). As noted earlier, the total number of complaints for CY 2022 was 292. The total complaints increased to 71 in August due to an influx of aircraft who were participating in the Reno National Championship Air Races.
Complaints Versus Exceedances
Of the total complaints received, only 25 of those complaints correlated with an actual exceedance of noise standards for the year.

Ninety-five households in San Lorenzo filed a total of 141 noise complaints in 2022, which represents 48% of the total. Ninety-five percent of complaints are received from residents in Hayward and San Lorenzo, the two communities closest to the Airport. The remaining complaints come from other cities in the Bay Area. While staff investigates all complaints received, the airport’s noise ordinance is limited to within the City’s boundaries, and staff has no jurisdiction outside the city.
Strategies Employed to Reduce Complaints
Airport staff is committed to reducing the number of noise complaints. First, the Airport’s Airport Operations Specialist monitors noise violations and contacts pilots that exceed published noise standards. Most violators voluntarily comply with noise abatement procedures once they have been notified. Each noise complaint received is investigated by the Airport Operations Specialist and contact is made with the individual registering the complaint. Each complaint is evaluated, and exceedances of the City’s noise ordinance are addressed. The noise abatement procedures are available on the City’s website or as requested by pilots, as well as through public outreach. Voluntary Noise Abatement Procedures include instructions such as:
Avoid overflights of residential areas
Departing to the west, turn at or before the golf course Climb at the best rate to reduce noise impact to our community Reduce climb power and propeller RPM as soon as practical Please refer to the Noise Abatement Procedure Guide above describing Hayward's most noise sensitive areas, traffic patterns with altitudes, and preferred departure procedures.
Staff strives to maintain an open dialogue with the public.
