Recommendation to request that City Manager and Airport Director make the Federal Inspection Service (FIS) Feasibility Study publicly available and posted on relevant City websites at least 15 days before scheduling any City Council meeting to discuss the Study; and further provide sufficient time before the scheduled City Council meeting to conduct a Fourth Council District community meeting for the purpose of receiving public input on the Study and the proposed FIS.
Motion carries. Okay, thank you. And next item is 20 I'm sorry, 12. Communication from Councilmember Supernova Councilwoman Gonzalez, Councilmember Pearce and Councilwoman Price. Recommendation to request that the city manager and airport director make the FISA feasibility study publicly available at least 15 days before scheduling any city council meeting to discuss the study and provide sufficient time before the scheduled City Council meeting to conduct a fourth Council District community meeting . Thank you, Councilmember Superdome. Thank you. And I'd like to thank my colleagues. Price piercing. GONZALES Sounds like a law firm for supporting me, and I think it's pretty self explanatory, pretty straightforward. We'd like 15 days to examine the study when it comes back. The one part that I do need to clarify is the the item states that we want to make time for a fourth Council district meeting. And that meeting will be, for lack of a better term, city wide. Everyone will be invited, but technically we have to label it a fourth district meeting. So I think that's the only issues I have here. Thank you. Thank you. Councilwoman Pryce coming to the second year. I support Councilman Super nine. I think public input is very important in this process and this should be a data driven decisions. So I thank you for bringing the item and asking me to sign on. Thank you, Councilman Mongo. I think Councilmember Rubinoff for clarifying that it's still a citywide meeting. I think that the fourth district is a good central location. I know we've done cross marketing for things in the past, and I think that the 15 day minimum is sufficient. But I believe that I'm sorry, is is a good number to put in a in a council item. However, I believe in discussions with the city manager over the last several months. The planned period is actually significantly longer. Is that correct? The plan is not to bring it to the council for at least 15 days. We certainly plan to bring this to the Airport Advisory Commission and also the Economic Development Commission before it gets to the council. So it will be longer than 15 days, but we'll try to do it as soon as possible. So it's my understanding from previous discussions that the report period for the consultant whose name escapes me at the moment, was originally going to be concluding, was it September 30th? I don't recall what when it was supposed to be completed, but the firm's name is Jacobs. Thank you. And they'll be bringing this in sometime in the the first ten days of first week or two of September. And so through that, then there would be several meetings, including the community meetings in the fourth District. We'll have the fourth District meeting and any other community meeting that a council district decides to have as well. And then but of course, we definitely are going to have the Jacobs Company be at the Airport Advisory Board Commission and also the Economic Development Commission before it gets the council. And are those dates of the potential airport advisory commission and the potential Economic Development Commission meetings known to us? Or when they are known, will they be given to us in a TFF? Yes, they're not known at this time. But Will, as soon as we get an idea on the date that we're going to receive the study, we'll schedule those meetings immediately and let the council know. Wonderful. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Austin. Thank you. I'll be brief. I think this is an excellent item. I want to thank Councilmember Supernova for bringing it forward. When we had the community meetings prior to the the consultants actually initiating the study. It was it was we heard loud and clear from the community that this is something that they wanted. And so to actually effectuate it here at the City Council on an agenda item I think is great. My only concern is that reading this item and those in the public looking at this would walk away from this thinking that that the only community meeting is going to be in the fourth District. And I can tell you that that probably won't be the case. There will be plenty of opportunity for community input. I know I have a lot of residents in my district who are very, very who are paying close attention to this item as well. And so, yes, the eighth District, we will have a community meeting and we will seek the resources and input from city staff as well as the engineers to explain the study. And. My my my my question also is a, would this be considered or is community meeting be considered a study session? And maybe you can answer that question, Mr. City Manager. No, I would. We would talk to the city attorney, of course, but I just envision this as community meetings to. Take the report out on the road with our airport directors and and get input from the community before it comes to the city council. And you mentioned that it would actually go to the Airport Advisory Commission, would they would there will be to make a recommendation or or to just the receiving report filed a report. That they would do more than receive. They would receive and file. But also we would take the comments from the from that advisory board and bring those to the council as well as from the Economic Development Commission. So they're not specifically making a recommendation per se or be asked to make a recommendation, but we're certainly going to ask them to review it, listen to the comments from the audience or the public, and then provide any feedback that they want that will relate to the city council. Well, I do appreciate the fact that we are looking to proceed with caution and involve our advisory group groups, our commissions in the process. There's no need to rush. I don't think it's in the interest of the city to do that. Anyway, I've said that all along, and so to have a process that engages our residents is a good thing. And so I'll be in support of this on. Thank you. Councilmember Pearce. Computer. Did you guys make it on there? Yeah. Thank you, guys. I just wanted to thank Councilmember Sabrina for asking me to sign on and thank all the council members who have been a part of the process over the last 18 months. Obviously, the airport is a critical city asset in making sure that residents from throughout the city have an opportunity to engage in this conversation . It's important. And so we'll definitely come to your guys meetings and and utilize the meetings that are already in place. But just wanted to say thank you for the time to have this important discussion. Concern for Superyacht. Yeah. Just just one point of clarification. While the agenda item reads a fourth district meeting geographically that that was not my intention. We could certainly go back to the gas department and hold the meeting there for efficiency if we wanted to hold just one meeting. The other point and Councilwoman Mongeau just mentioned it to me about let's look at this calendar now because I wanted specifically a short time frame so we don't get into the holiday season. So, Mr. West, can you give us can we look at this in terms of the item coming back and then going to two different or a commission and a committee? And really, what data are we looking at here for this thing to come back to council? I don't know. I'm I'm interested to hear what you're saying. Your intent is to bring it back. Sooner than later. We can certainly have special meetings of the Airport Advisory Commission or Economic Development Commission, so we don't have to wait on the schedule. We create something special if their meeting just didn't line up within, you know, two or two weeks of their report coming out. Okay. Thank you. Councilman Mungo. Thank you. I just wanted to ensure that. I think that many of us are planning to be with the community on November 8th, Election Day. While it has not yet come before this board. I had heard rustling in the community that we might cancel the council meeting on that night, so I would hope we would not plan to bring it back where the community would have to choose between celebrating their presidential candidate or attending and giving good feedback. So that was just another component of this. But I know that you'll make a good decision. I know there's lots of meetings that need to happen sometime between when the report comes back, hopefully on time, September 30th. And I think the most important component is enough time for community input. And I think that this item addresses that with the minimum amount, but I think that very definitely it could be longer. So thank you for that. Thank you. Any public comment on this item saying nonmembers, please cast your votes.
