ITEM: (c) 1
TRANSPORTATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE
August 29, 2022
Subject: Airport Commission FY 2022-2023 Work Plan and FY 2021-2022 Annual Report
Staff recommends approval of the Airport Commission’s Work Plan for FY 2022-2023 as contained in Attachment A. This work plan was review and approved at the May 2022 Airport Commission meeting. It covers 19 work areas for the Commission, spanning capital projects, land use, concessions to air service development, airline leases, and airline rates and charges.
Workplan Alignment with Airport’s Strategic Plan
The Airport Strategic Plan identifies key priorities for the Airport. Our Mission describes our core purpose: “To connect, serve, and inspire.” Our Vision defines what we aspire to achieve over the next ten years: “To transform how Silicon Valley travels.” Our four strategic goals define key priorities to:
1. Drive Growth
2. Innovate
3. Fund the Future
4. Invest in the Organization
These priorities are linked to the Commission’s Work Plan with the objective of ensuring the Commission’s work is focused on items that are in alignment with policy and priority areas identified by the Airport and approved by the City Council.
Staff believes the Commission Work Plan:
1. Focuses on items that are priorities for staff, helps further the Commission’s understanding of Airport operations and priorities, and assists the Commission in carrying out its advisory responsibilities; and
2. Makes appropriate and efficient use of available staff resources.
Noise Concerns
As a result of the re-structuring of the City’s boards and commissions in FY 2012-2013, the Airport Commission has the responsibility to hear San José’s airport noise-related issues.
Accordingly, each year the work plan contains a standing quarterly agenda item to report curfew intrusions and violations and to hear public comments/concerns on noise issues.
Other Items
The Airport Commission continues to be the body to hear and adjudicate curfew and ground transportation violation appeals, as required. This remains a standing item in the FY 2022-2023 Work Plan.
Finally, staff remains committed to amending the Work Plan, as needed, to bring forward any additional issues or items that may emerge during the year. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the proposed FY 2022-2023 Commission Work Plan (Attachment A).
