(g) Witnesses shall not be required to be sworn. Each witness will be required to approach the microphone and give their full name for the record before making a presentation.
(h) The right to question the witnesses shall be afforded, if requested.

However, the Chairperson may require that such questions be addressed through the Chairperson for resubmission to the witness.
(i) The reading of details of letters and petitions by the persons submitting them will not be permitted. Such documents may be filed with the Secretary and the Secretary shall mark them as having been received for the limited purpose of showing the names of the persons protesting or supporting the application.
(j) While it is desirable in a democratic process to permit every person an unlimited right to speak, such a right may unduly prolong a public hearing and cloud the basic issue if the comments presented are merely cumulative and repetitious. Therefore, whenever necessary, the Chairperson will state that cumulative and repetitious comments are to be avoided and may limit the time allocated for persons who wish to speak. Similarly, testimony and comments which are incompetent, irrelevant or immaterial shall be foreclosed by the Chairperson. If, because of the informality of the hearing, such improper comments are received, it shall not be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. (k) The Commission may establish special rules for individual meetings, establishing time limits for presentations and requiring presentations to be made through spokespersons, if possible.
(l) After those in favor and opposed to an application have been heard, the Chairperson will ask for the recommendation of the staff and the reasons for such recommendation. After such recommendation, one spokesperson for the applicant and one spokesperson for the opponents shall be given a limited amount of time to summarize their position or respond to the recommendation, after which the Chairperson shall close the public portion of the hearing.
(m) The Commission should discuss the issues involved and make its decision only after hearing the evidence presented at the public hearing. Discussion of the matter by Commission members should be delayed until after the public hearing is closed and the matter is presented to the Commission for discussion and decision. (n) The Commission may take a field trip to view the property involved in the public hearing. All field trips shall be taken as part of a regular, adjourned regular, or special meeting of the Commission and all interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to #3..

6 be present to hear any reports or comments. A complete record of such field trip will be entered into the minutes so the record will indicate that the field trip was taken into consideration as evidence. If a Commissioner has personal knowledge of the property or area, the Commissioner should make a statement to that effect at the time of the hearing so the record will reflect everything being taken into consideration in making the final decision. (o) Commissioners are responsible for ensuring that the public hearing is conducted in a fair and impartial manner. If a Commissioner receives a significant personal contact or telephone call outside of the public hearing which concerns a matter pending before or of interest to the Landmark Preservation Commission, he or she shall disclose the substance and nature of the contact or call at the public hearing. If written materials are presented to the Commission by an applicant or member of the public, a copy should be made available for public review by filing the materials with the Secretary at least three (3) days in advance of the meeting at which the item or matter is scheduled to be considered or at the time the materials are provided to any Commissioner, whichever is earliest.

Jeremiah Williams, Chair

THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Bill Sandhu, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Airport Advisory Committee, Appointment of Jeremiah Sasser CONTACT: Gabe da Silva, Airport Manager [email protected] 209-577-5319 DESCRIPTION:

Consider the appointment of Jeremiah Sasser to the Modesto City-County Airport Advisory Committee for a four-year term with an expiration date of June 30, 2028, and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: Not Applicable)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action supports the City’s Governance and Service Delivery Strategic Plan Initiative: Build community trust in City government through responsive, transparent, and efficient service delivery; Goal I: “Promote trust and engagement between the community and the City.”
BACKGROUND:

The Modesto City-County Airport (Airport) operates for the benefit of all businesses, industries, visitors and residents in the City of Modesto, Stanislaus County, and the surrounding areas. In an effort to ensure that the Airport is maintained and developed in such a manner that it will continue to be a high-quality aviation facility for its users and a good neighbor in the community, the Airport Advisory Committee (AAC) was formed. Interested citizens are appointed as members to the AAC by both the Modesto City Council and the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors to advise on numerous matters, including policy and planning pertaining to the operation and management of the Airport.

DISCUSSION:

The AAC is somewhat of a unique committee that is made up of very specific airport related voting positions. Past practice has shown over the years these positions were difficult to fill and is why there were many reappointments in the past. With the understanding of the importance of keeping the committee fresh we approached this vacancy differently. Since this position #6..

Airport Advisory Committee, Appointment of Jeremiah Sasser

Page 2 of 2 ends

requires the candidate to be a small aircraft owner for general aviation, we determined a mass email to all general aviation users would be a great way to promote the vacancy. This promotion generated 12 applications of those applications 11 were considered qualified candidates based on the position requirements. Due to the response qualified candidates were then supplied an additional questionnaire to be filled out with a deadline for response. The Airport received five questionnaires to be reviewed by the AAC for a recommendation.

At the last Airport Advisory Committee meeting on March 21, 2024, redacted supplemental questions for the qualified candidates were provided to the committee and reviewed to be voted on. The AAC selected Jeremaih Sasser as the most qualified candidate for the position The Small Aircraft Owner/ G.A. position is currently held by Allan Ramsay and is set to expire May 30, 2024. Jeremiah Sasser, a current aircraft owner and tenant of the general aviation side of the airport, has shown interest in the position and has applied to fill the vacancy. He has been a pilot and user of the Modesto Airport for the last ten years. He is a frequent user of the services and businesses at the Airport as well. Jeremiah travels often and has experienced airports of all sizes. He is able to offer a unique perspective and will be a valuable addition to the Airport Advisory Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Appointing members to a committee is administrative in nature, therefore, does not have a fiscal impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDED COMMITTEE ACTION:

Staff Recommendations:

Motion recommending the appointment of Jeremiah Sasser to the Airport Advisory Committee for the position of Small Aircraft Owner/G.A. for a four-year term with an expiration date of June 30, 2028, and forwarding to Council for approval.

involved in CUSD band when my daughter went there. I am involved in projects overseas in countries like Guatemala with local farmers. I am involved with Ceres High School
volunteering for my daughters school as requested. Was on Measure H in Ceres until my term ended.

What is it about this
position that interests you?
I am hangered now at Modesto Airport. My current work
requires me to spend a lot of time in airports included Modesto, anything we can do to better Modesto Airport will greatly benefit the community and I think I can bring some new ideas and help the current committee.

What qualities, experience,
and expertise would you
bring to it?
I am rational and come in with a science mindset. I am a strategic thinker and have general aviation experience as well as airport experience of all size airports throughout the world. I was born in Modesto, still own a home there, my niece and dad live in it. I also have 2 homes in Ceres, one of which I live in. I am tied to Modesto and Ceres, and think my aviation
experience is very rounded not only general aviation, but through commercial travel commercially, which is lacking in Modesto right now. I work well with teams and believe I could help the committee from a general aviation perspective. (Section Break)
