3. General Noise Mitigation

Items 2 and 3 were discussed together. Stadium Authority staff brought up recent flyovers at NFL games and asked if there was anything the Stadium Manager could do anything to mitigate the noise impact. Stadium Manager staff explained that each flyover was unique because of the different military planes being used, which individually have different noise levels and fly at different heights. Stadium Manager staff said they can’t control the noise levels of the military planes and plan to continue having flyovers for 49er games but would let the Stadium Authority/City know if anything can be done. On the noise for Non-NFL events, the Stadium Manager shared that they have been calibrating and monitoring noise during concert rehearsals to monitor that concert noise levels stay below the permit threshold.

Stadium Authority staff shared that the City was monitoring grant opportunities for transportation projects, including those that will be funded through the Infrastructure Act.

6. Stadium Permits, City Services & Fire Dept. Review/Process Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager staff discussed the permitting process for Non-NFL events.

7. ADA Project Updates
Stadium Manager staff provided an update on the ADA project at the Main Lot which had a November deadline.

8. Future 49ers CapEx Projects / SCSA CapEx Projects
Stadium Manager staff shared that they had many 49ers and Stadium Authority capital projects in the pipeline and inquired about how to best plan for City permits.
