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 our key priorities and are:
1. Drive Growth
2. Innovate
3. Fund the Future
4. Invest in the Organization
These priorities are linked to the Commission’s Workplan 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 Workplan:
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 12-13, the Commission has the responsibility to hear Airport noise-related issues. Accordingly, each year the Workplan contains a standing quarterly agenda item to report out on curfew intrusions and violations and to hear public comments/concerns on noise issues.
Other Items
The Commission continues to be the body to hear and adjudicate curfew and ground transportation violation appeals, as required. This will continue to be standing items in the FY 2023-2024 Workplan.
Finally, staff remains committed to amending the Workplan, as circumstances require, to bring forward to the Commission for review and action any additional issues or items that may emerge during the year. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the proposed FY 2023-2024 Commission Workplan (Attachment A).
