OLD BUSINESS
1. ATRPORT ROUNDTABLE CONSULTANT
Councilman Amstrup requested council discuss the Airport Roundtable's
need to hire a consultant, charging $500 to each city. The county
and airport will each pay $101000 toward the cost. He felt the city
should be represented at the meetings and wondered why the Roundtable
needed to hire a consultant when it has staff.
Mayor Barton stated the cit-y is represented at those meetings.
Councilman Martin said the county gets some $14 million per year in
taxes from the airport. He felt the county should pay for con-sultant since the cities get no revenue from airport.
2 REGIONAL AIRPORT PLANNING COMMITTEE LETTER OPPOSING MARR]OTT HOTEL
Councilman Martin reviewed a letter addressed to the Mayor from RAPC
which discussed resul-ts of a meeting in May at which RAPC determined
that the Marriott project and the Millbrae hotel project would pre-
sent noise and safety hazards. RAPC indicates it will meet again in
June and then make a recommendation to BCDC regarding the height of
both hotels.
Councilman Martin requested staff prepare a letter to RAPC to express
council's reqret that RAPC did not notify the city when it began a
review of the Marriott project. He pointed out that RAPC presents
the position of the airport and ALPA and ignores the position of f'AA
and ALUC. He requested staff point out these differences in the
letter.
Councilman Martin noted that RAPC mentions the possibility of bay fill
to extend Runway L9 because of the need to overfly the hotels. He
stated that the airport would love to extend the runway but the reason
has nothing to do with the hotels. The present Runway l/19 does not
allow some large planes to take off, whereas if it were extended,
those planes could also take off on Runway 1. Using the airports
figures, there are 31000 flights from Runway 19 each year and 110,000
flights from Runway 1. More use of Runway 1 would greatly increase
noise j-n Burlingame from backblast. He said the airport must also
reduce the number of homes it overflys each year and extension of the
runway would aIlow more planes to take of,f on Runway I over water andless to take off on Runway 28 which overflys San Bruno, South SanFrancisco and Daly City. This would make it verlz easy for the airportto comply with reduction of overflights.
Councilman Martin requested the letter go out as soon as possible.Council concurred and Mayor Barton will sign the letter.
