Subject: June 23 Meeting Agenda Item #2 - Joint Agency Discussion and Recommendation to City CAUTION:This is an external email. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know the content is safe.

This submission provides one comment and several questions regarding the revised site plan for the Skywest Property, with a focus on the ﬁnancial impact to the airport and the availability of supporting information for public review.

Comment
Based on the information currently available, and without supporting ﬁnancial data, the revised Skywest Property plan appears to be more favorable to the City of Hayward and HARD than to the airport. The airport’s executive leadership, including airport management, has an obligation to make decisions that are in the best interest of the airport. At this point, I do not see how the revised proposal is ﬁnancially favorable to the airport. Without a detailed ﬁnancial comparison of the previous plan and the revised plan, it appears that projected airport income may have been reduced signiﬁcantly, potentially by more than 50% compared with the original proposal. I would appreciate seeing the ﬁnancial analysis that explains why airport leadership would support a plan that appears to reduce the airport’s long-term ﬁnancial beneﬁt.

If the projected airport income under the previous plan and the revised plan is available for public review, it would be helpful to make that information available. A side-by-side comparison would help the public understand the ﬁnancial impact of the revised proposal on the airport. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Questions
The following questions are provided for consideration. I would be happy to discuss them by phone or in person if the Council Infrastructure and Airport Committee meeting is not the appropriate forum for addressing them.

Maintenance Costs

1. For how many years, including 2026, has the airport been paying approximately $250,000 annually for ongoing maintenance of the Skywest Property?

Page 1 of 32 ends

PUBLIC COMMENT NO. 1
2 2. Approximately how much longer will the airport continue to absorb the $250,000 annual maintenance cost for the Skywest Property?

3. What is the estimated annual maintenance cost for the future FAA-required safety zone? Airport Revenue and Compensation

1. Will the airport receive any income, such as a land use fee, directly from the City of Hayward, HARD, or any other jurisdiction for land used for recreational purposes, including the pocket parks, dog park, and recreation area? If so, what is the estimated annual income?

2. Is the airport receiving any ﬁnancial consideration for the signiﬁcant amount of land that will be rendered permanently unusable by the airport in the future?

3. The business center is being reduced from 49 acres to 28 acres. How much annual income will the airport lose as a result?

4. Is there any oƯsetting income that the airport will receive from any jurisdiction for the 21 acres that will no longer be developed as a business center?

5. The proposed hangars are being eliminated under the revised plan. What is the estimated annual income the airport will lose as a result?
Land Use and Ownership

1. Is any land currently owned by the airport being sold or permanently deeded to the City of Hayward, HARD, or any other jurisdiction?
Public Comment Record

1. The last formal public meetings on the future use of the Skywest Property were held in August, September, and October 2021. In addition, comments have been received from 2021 to the present. Are those comments documented? If so, are they available to the public, and where can they be found?
Thank you for considering these questions. My contact information is provided below.

CIAC MEETING
Attachments: FAA EMAS SKYWEST JUNE 2026.jpg; WINTON HESPERIAN SKYWEST.jpg CAUTION:This is an external email. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know the content is safe.

These are my comments regarding item ACT 26-031.

First of all I'd like to say that we all love HARD and all the wonderful parks, activities, and events that they provide for our community members. We appreciate the fact that they have been helping out the city of Hayward with a bunch of their events due to the budget crisis.

HARD has a great park right next door called San Lorenzo Community Park. There's lots of great space there if HARD would like to add a cricket field or a pump track. Skywest is totally inappropriate for any kind of reuse plan except for open space, habitat preservation, and environmental protection.

Next I would like to state that this agenda item
should be a report and not an action item tonight.

There is a clear lack of a real plan and this item
should be continued until all neighbors are
surveyed and all local advocacy groups are
invited to be a part of this process.

It is very strange that there is no mention of the group Save Skywest Open Space anywhere in this report. We have met with Airport management, the City Manager, the Director of Public Works, City Council Members, HARD Directors, HARD management, EBRPD management and Directors, as well as many local groups.

Page 3 of 32 ends

PUBLIC COMMENT NO. 2
2 It is also strange that there is no mention of the old plan being brought to the EDEN MAC- a board representing San Lorenzo, Hayward Acres, Ashland , and Cherryland. The plan was full of misleading information and not well received by the MAC. The area of influence of the airport goes over all of the above communities and this is the body to survey and communicate with, not the San Lorenzo HOA. That group only represents part of San Lorenzo as not all homes in SLZ belong to the HOA. And the SLZ HOA most certainly does not represent all the communities that the MAC does.

For these reasons, I request that the item be
CONTINUED.

We want these points addressed:
1 SOS Skywest Open Space insists on being part of the decision making process and to be heavily involved in the discussions and planning of the open space and keeping all of it zoned as open space - as it currently is zoned. We have gathered almost 5,000 signatures of local residents that support saving all of Skywest as open space. (Approximately 4,000 on our change.org petition and approximately another 700 on paper petitions) We have been advocating for this for 5 years now. Why are we nowhere in the plan or staff report? https://www.change.org/p/save-skywest- as-open-space-in-the-city-of-hayward-from-destruction
When we met with the city manager and the director of Public Works two months ago we saw a different plan than the one now proposed. In that plan, we saw the open space down by the San Lorenzo community park and we saw the runway safety zone in the middle. Then we saw the Eastern area that used to have hangars that had a big question mark on it as to what would happen in the future. It was not earmarked as business development - it was a big question mark and the potential development mentioned was a few medical buildings. We were led to believe that this was an idea but not a plan. We were certainly not shown a business park.

We also find this plan to be a quite disingenuous because we all know that the proposed developer of the Western industrial space in the first plan from 5 years ago pulled out from that project a few years ago. We consider this to be a bait and switch to now propose the Western area as recreation and plan a business park in the area that was formerly predominantly going to be recreational use.

Page 4 of 32 ends

3 2 We want the entire space to remain zoned open space as this area of Hayward has less than 1/3 of an acre of open space per thousand people and we know the bare minimum is supposed to be three acres per thousand people. This disadvantaged community deserves open space and it's actually stated in Hayward's general plan and their guiding principles.

Guiding Principle #8 Hayward should preserve, enhance, increase, and connect its baylands, hillsides, greenway trails, and regional parks to protect environmental resources, mitigate the impacts of rising sea levels, and provide opportunities to live an active outdoor lifestyle. The natural baylands and hillsides that define the western and eastern edges of the City are major community assets and valuable environmental resources. They provide habitat for a variety of plant and animal species, contribute to the ecological health of the San Francisco Bay, and provide residents with opportunities to exercise, enjoy nature, and view scenic resources. These open space resources and passive recreational opportunities should be preserved and enhanced to improve the ecology of the San Francisco Bay Area and Hayward’s overall quality of life. The City will work in partnership with the East Bay Regional Parks District and the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District to develop policies and strategies to preserve and protect environmental resources, respond to rising sea levels, promote environmental stewardship, connect the baylands and hillsides with greenway trails, and expand access to compatible recreational activities within the bay, baylands, and hillsides, such as kayaking, boating, hiking, and biking.

We also know that the Skywest property serves as a buffer zone between the airport and the San Lorenzo community as well as the Skywest HOA homes. This is according to a Hayward Executive Airport Narrative document.

We know there are issues with the former golf course being an 4F impact zone as well as a buffer zone for the adjacent homes in Hayward and San Lorenzo.

FROM 2011 HEA PLAN Section 4(f) Resources Section 303(c) of the Department of Transportation Act
Potential Section 4(f) resources in the vicinity of Hayward Executive Airport include the following: Skywest Golf Course John F. Kennedy Park McConaghy Park San Lorenzo Park Longwood Park Bohannon Middle School As noted above, Skywest Golf Course, a public golf course located on airport property, may be considered a Section 4(f) resource pursuant to NEPA. If a proposed project requires the use of the golf course area or creates conditions that would diminish its use, a significant impact would occur. 3 We want the entire property managed and mowed now as we feel we need to have the property properly maintained in consideration of all the neighbors that live next to dried out grasslands. We know that there have been a few fires there this spring and we would prefer not to have any more fires and a way to prevent that is to mow and maintain. We want the butterfly habitat properly cared for. Skywest is the #1

Page 5 of 32 ends

4 overwintering site for the Western Monarch Butterfly in the entire East Bay and #4 in CA.

CA Native Monarch Butterflies in Skywest. It takes 4 generations to make the round trip from the Western Rockies to Skywest. So YES! They are a native CA species.

We want to be sure that maintenance is done properly and at the right time of the year to completely eliminate impacts to local wildlife. We want to have the Park District working with experts such as the Xerces Society, The Alameda County Resource Conservation District, California Fish and Wildlife, local biologists and experts, and trained arborists. 4 We would like to have the open space available now. We feel that if walkers and hikerswere coming in and using the space there would be less vandalism and less fire danger. It's called having eyes on the property and community policing. Just like when a park district develops a trail along a creek- the more people you have walking on the trail the fewer problems you have on that trail.

We want the Via Alamitos entrance opened and we want an entrance opened at San Lorenzo Community Park aka the duck pond. We'd also like a better gate opened at the main entrance so differently abled people can come in on their wheelchairs or their electric scooters.

Page 6 of 32 ends

5 5 We want all the ponds filled and kept filled so we can protect the animals that depend on these bodies of water. We know that we have Western Pond Turtles and allowing the ponds to dry out is KILLING the turtles which is illegal, not to mention immoral.

These photos were taken at the Eastern pond in March 2026.This is a dead Western Pond Turtle.

Page 7 of 32 ends

6 Why hasn't the Airport looked into a solar pump for their pumping needs? Why can't they use the hydrants just a few hundred yards from the Eastern Pond to save the turtles? Yes that is Hetch Hetchy water, but it most certainly a much better use than the data center on Eden Landing that will also use Hetch Hetchy water.

The western pond turtle is designated as a state species of special concern in California.

It is also protected under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has proposed listing them as threatened.  State and Federal Protections: Under California state law, native reptiles cannot be possessed, taken, or destroyed without an official permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Federally, the proposed ESA listing strictly prohibits the unauthorized harm or relocation of the species. 
 The "Take" Prohibition: Allowing a pond to dry out while turtles are trapped inside constitutes "harm" and "mortality," which is a violation of both state and federal wildlife laws, unless explicitly permitted for approved habitat maintenance or conservation reasons.

The Hayward Executive Airport is supposed to be maintaining these ponds and their excuse that it costs too much money is just that - an excuse. The ponds close to the railroad tracks are also getting low. The Hayward Executive Airport must fill in all three ponds and keep them

7 full. They chose to be the stewards of this land when they chose to change the terms of the lease with HARD in 2020.
-----------------------------------------
In addition, we have problems with the idea that everything needs to be removed from the runway safety zone. There are four zones that have varying recommendations OR requirements.

The FAA dictates that the designated safety areas must be free of objects. This is a binding standard for any public-use airport. The dimensions vary based on the aircraft size and approach visibility, but the standard RSA extends 500 feet wide (250 feet on either side of the centerline) and 1,000 feet beyond the runway ends. The Clubhouse does not fall within this area.

As far as removing all the trees, we are completely opposed to that. We are wondering if all the shrubbery and the big Hayward Executive Airport sign that's down on the corner of Winton and Hesperian will also be removed since that is also in the runway safety area according to Hayward's GIS.

We believe we should be looking at every alternative we possibly can to eliminate changes to the Skywest property. Installing an EMAS is one option. According to the FAA, in a letter dated 2009, EMAS is the ONLY viable option.

Installing an EMAS: Implementing an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS)—a crushable concrete bed that safely halts overrunning aircraft. This is used successfully at many small and large airports across the country. In fact, use of EMAS is also in the airport narrative. https://acgov.org/cda/planning/generalplans/documents/HWD_Ch4_Revised_120 111.pdf

CAUTION:This is an external email. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know the content is safe.

Good Afternoon, My name is Maria Potts I am a youth member of the SOS Skywest group, and a recently graduated Chabot College student, and these are my comments for ACT 26-031.

I apologies for being unable to attend in person, and I hope that everything goes smoothly.

Today, as a member of SOS Skywest I want to address one of our needs. We have been reporting that the pond in Skywest, closest to Kennedy Park, needed to be filled. It was claimed that it could not be due to vandalism of the water pumps, and the cost it would take to repair it would be too high. So the pond was left to dry, even with the awareness that the Species of Concern living in the pond, the Western Pond Turtles, California's only native turtle, would be left vulnerable. This group of western pond turtles needed this pond, it was crucial for their survival. They are not travelling turtles; they had their conditions met at this pond, and no other in the surrounding areas. If you note that we have yet to see them in the other ponds. And it would not be reasonable to assume that they could have just moved, because in many other surrounding ponds, specifically the duck pond over the fence, there are Red Sliders, a turtle that is not native, and is a predator of the Western Pond Turtle. Today, we are left finding smashed turtles who attempted to make a difficult journey to find another pond, and ended up victims of cars.

Why did the airport ignore the needs of these turtles? I understand it’s costly to fill the pond, but to allow these native turtles to die when no plans for the area have even been finalized is upsetting and is extremely concerning for the rest of the land, including the other ponds and the monarch grove. If this is their response to one pond, then it is clear that they could and would easily ignore the rest of the land.

The stewards of the land have a responsibility to maintain and take care of Skywest, and have taken on that responsibility since deciding to remove HARD as its steward. Why are they not taking care of the land? We at SOS Skywest want all the ponds on Skywest to remain filled and for the stewards to take the time to ensure these animals have proper living conditions and are not left to die.

As a former student of Chabot College, I have pride in Hayward, and want to see it thrive.

Hayward has made and is striving to make so many different achievements. I would like to first say how proud I am that the new plans for Skywest reflect consideration and openness for the people of Hayward, and really make me feel like my voice matters. However, the treatment of the wildlife and the determination to develop the land leave me to wonder, will we allow Hayward to go in the wrong

2 direction? We have a real threat looming over our heads called climate change. It is more crucial now than ever that we take steps to stay green. Planetary heating, sea level rise, sickness in children and the elderly caused by pollution, all of it can be mitigated by keeping open space alive, and taking steps to keep Hayward greener. Staying green is something we already can see in Hayward today:

Hayward's bike project is a prime example of staying green, farmers markets, Keep Hayward clean and Green, and my favorite to brag about when talking about Hayward is the Shoreline projects, while still being worked on it is a huge achievement years in the making. And there are so many other ways Hayward has shown itself to be a green leader. Hayward is already moving towards a better future. I ask that we keep moving forward in such a positive direction. Thank you

6/23/26 CIAC Agenda item ACT 26-031
Dear Committee Members,
I am writing with regard to the disposition of the former Skywest Golf Couse. The current condition of the property and the exclusion of residents is shameful. I am asking that you continue this item and do not make a decision yet regarding Skywest because you have not yet included the public in the decision-making of the current plan. In fact, when several local residents met with the City Manager, Public Works Director, and Airport Manager recently, they were presented with plans that are not the same as the plans presented today. For example, the ponds were being considered for protection and maintenance and now we see that they are dry. Our government acts for us. Our government cannot provide habitat for native animals for decades, and then decide to allow them to die.

In particular, I am referencing the Western Pond Turtles identified in the Skywest ponds on many occasions. This is the only abundant native turtle in California and its habitat is normally not large—it is associated with permanent or nearly permanent water sources, such as the ponds at Skywest. Drying habitat is the MAIN CAUSE of MORTALITY! (https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=2657) When the water dries up, the turtles wander and are subject to death. Residents have documented a Western Pond Turtle apparently run over by a vehicle at Skywest.

Another important California species that is facing extinction due to human activity is the Monarch butterfly. The Skywest Eucalyptus trees have been shown to be an important gathering site—one of the densest in California. The Xerces Society and EBRPD have been monitoring for years. Please figure out how to save what is important to people and wildlife.

The FAA strike logs, going back to all data available, DO NOT SHOW SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS DUE TO WILDLIFE, ie nbo injuries and no costly damage. In addition, the majority of these

Page 29 of 32 ends

2 minor strikes have been at the other (Winton) end of Skywest, demonstrating that the keeping the habitat is not a negative factor.

Please continue this item to gather more information. This site has been a great pleasure to many people and there is no reason to take that away. We need to be able to have peaceful gathering places as the expected and ongoing negative impacts of human activities continues.

As a resident of Hayward, I want to keep this open for further public discourse.

I encourage our community to work more closely with SOS SAVE SKYWEST and other community partners to preserve natural spaces in Hayward.

We want the entire space to remain zoned open space as this area of Hayward has less than 1/3 of an acre of open space per thousand people and we know the bare minimum is supposed to be three acres per thousand people. This disadvantaged community deserves open space and it's actually stated in Hayward's general plan and their guiding principles.

hello Hayward representatives,
our nation is a crossroads, either we care about our communities, our people, our resources, our safety, our health, our future OR we squander it all awayt o enrich a few corrupt short sighted poiliticians that are in the pockets of a few dirty CEOs that plan to enrich themselves without consenting the people. At this very moment we either give our land water & air to AI data centers, or to humans, it cant be both.

The think is data centers will be short lived because there is not enough resources as it is, we are officially in a drought and there is not enough water for humans or crops as it is, AI can not & should not take that water no matter how many yatchs are promised to those that push this.

Before you discount us, please watch these videos as they are informative on the matter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv3r6lDWQ8w&list=PLScbzG4lPLzw&index=4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND7owjmtPNo&list=PLScbzG4lPLzw&index=2 https://youtu.be/hrnQ7chut7A?si=cfvORlk_4ikd_R-Y

Dear Mr. Hung,
We urge you as our Senior Civil Engineer for the City of Hayward Public Works Department, to not allow this AI data center in Hayward. We do not want these high risk entities in our backyard causing detrimental damage and other environmental issues that will affect the town residents and our health and access to water and electricity. To the City Council of Hayward, we the People of Hayward REJECT the construction of this AI Data Center in our town! Nothing good will come out of this! It is proven as a waste of resources and it is not profitable!
Attention:
