Presentation by the Oakland International Airport on Anticipated Air Traffic during the Closure of Runways Number 12 and 30 for Maintenance (Tentatively September 4 to September 18, 2017) and Fleet Week (October 2 to October 9, 2017).  (Community Development 481005)
Thank you. Was there a different one? All right. So five innocent, Nancy, five is Anne Frank. And now proclamation special orders of the day, three A We have a presentation by the Oakland International Airport on anticipated air traffic during the closure of runways number 12 and 34, maintenance tentatively scheduled for September 4th through September 18th, 2017, and during Fleet Week, October 2nd through October 9th. Thank you. Though Mayor Spencer and council members understand there's a presentation that will come up on the screen. Oh. Thanks. All right. Well, thank you. I'm Hugh Johnson, senior aviation project manager in the Aviation Planning and Development Department at the Port of Oakland. And I'm here to present a material about the Runway 1230 rehabilitation project we have planned for September. I'll try to go through the material relatively quickly. If you have any questions, please let me know as we go along. So first I just want to indicate this is a project that we do every 15 years or so. It's a payment rehabilitation. We have an asphalt concrete runway that requires an overlay and at the same time, it needs a runway light rehabilitation as well. So the lights typically last 30 years. In this case, we have a series of runway, centerline and edge lights that also have to be repaired in sequence and just in advance of the paving project. We have a few images here that indicate the current condition of the runway is already cracking and we're doing regular maintenance on a weekly basis. But we've reached the point where we have to do an entire pavement overlay. This image depicts the entire south field, a pair of runways, and then the two images on the bottom depict either end of the runway. So what you see above is in yellow. It's a temporary runway that we will build using a a taxiway for the main runway, and that temporary runway will be used while the main runway is being paved. This is a rather unique approach to doing these types of projects, and it was brought to our attention, our air introduced 15 years ago last time we did this and owe a debt of gratitude to Alameda and to San Leandro for bringing that to to the concept. Quick points we've coordinated. This is essentially going to be a two year coordination and planning effort for a two week construction project. We've coordinated with a number of lines of business at the FAA and other at the ATO, ATO as well as community outreach meetings. We held a community outreach meeting in February. We've met with San Leandro City Council a couple of weeks ago here today, and we've made ourselves available for community groups or neighborhoods that want more information. We've also we're also doing outreach through our regular aviation stakeholder committee meeting. We have one coming up, I believe, next week. We will touch on this in the Noise Forum. And I think there's a Fleet Week presentation also scheduled for a couple months from now. And I mentioned the tax away, which is an alternative approach to performing the work. And our intent is to do the painting for two weeks in September. I'll just go through this very quickly. So this colorful graphic depicts essentially a weather chart for the months of the summer months. And as you can see, we have a real advantage to doing this project in August or September. After that, the likelihood of rain starts to pick up. And we don't want the rain overlap with when we're doing especially the markings or even just the paving and light work. This is a graphic of the entire airport. The main thing I want to highlight here is we will have all departures still in Southfield. And but we will have a few large aircraft arrivals in Southfield on the temporary runway. That's different from the way it was done 15 years ago, where it was just a departures only runway and all arrivals came into Northfield. So we're going to use our field for the larger aircraft that require the additional length that we'll have in Southfield on the temporary runway. We have a longer runway, even on a temporary runway in Northfield. There's a lot of numbers here. The main thing I want to point out is on the left, the arrivals for Northfield, there will be 108 commercial jet arrivals and all of the heavy jets will arrive in Southfield. And and then about 60% or so of the commercial jets will arrive in Northfield, and the remainder will be able to be accommodated in the south on temporary runway. This is a maybe a familiar graphic for the noise forum. It shows a typical 65 C.M. Contour for the airport. And this next graphic shows how it will change representative life for those two weeks. And as you can see, there'll be a minor shift in self-heal, fewer operations in Southfield. And then you see the extent extended noise contour in Northfield, mostly due to the arriving aircraft in Northfield. A very, very minor extent into the golf course area and some of the communities there. And then on the whole roots, the focus has been to make sure that we keep our roots on 98th Avenue. There have been some recent discussions about a possible access point off of Harbor Bay Parkway, and we're still in discussions on that to determine where that will come out. And last point I want to make is that we are reusing the asphalt grinding from the runway on our stability berm and essentially reusing all of that material. Thank you. Any questions? Council members. So I want to thank you, Mr. Johnson, for coming down here and making this presentation. Thank you for sharing it. Thank you. All right. Next, we have coverage. We have a motion for the consent calendar. Accept items. If0 we have oral communication. Or I'm sorry, work oral communications, not agenda. Do we have any speakers on that? We have three speakers. Oh. Okay. Okay. The first one is for a referral to be heard this evening. I see it didn't have a name on it. If someone recognizes this writing, they can come on up and speak. I'm sorry. Could the lights be turned on? All right. I know it's Vernon, and then go ahead. I know that we might have a chance to be heard later on tonight, but if the city council meeting has to go past 1030. I would really hope that we could. Actually have our the referral heard this evening. Thank you. Gray Harris. Stepped out. Ken Petersen. Gray hairs. Can Peterson. Come on up, Mr. Peterson. Thank you very much, Madam Mayor. Council and staff. First thing has to do with the questions of sound. We've had many complaints about people not being able to hear, and we're told that if we can't hear you, just let the assistant city clerk know and they'll up the volume. The other thing is they have auxiliary hearing devices and we just try and three of them and they're just marvelous. Everything is so crystal clear. They work really beautifully. We have three of them down here. Oh, all right. I see. We have three people modeling them this evening. Thank you. Yeah. Let us know how they work out. That's really dangerous. People will know what's going on. And I just did another thing that we can't fix, and that is when people are talking, they turn aside. You can't hear because these are directional likes. And so if somebody's going to talk, you need to talk into the microphone and not lean back or off that way or talk into the lectern. As far as the sound of the people sounding like they're mumbling with a mouthful of mush, there isn't a lot that can be done about that. I think that's inherent in the system, and I don't think that it used to be like that. We have a new system so as to improve it, but going back ten years ago and things were much better. Thank you. So that's the kind of opening things that the housekeeping. But I want to talk about things that happened the first meeting in June. And good thing I didn't come to the next meeting because I would have said among a number of intemperate things. But I'm going to talk now about yourself. Madam Mayor, I'm going to use the third person because it's talking about you. And what happened here is that you have been subject to scurrilous attacks, vilifying you. And they're false. They're not at all true about and about you or your record. Back in 2009, the school board when you were a member, had an option to have an anti-bullying program, and the anti-bullying program was supposed to take care of all students of what are called those media, California protected classes. Those are people with disabilities, national origin, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual and gender orientation and sexuality. All of those are required. They're also required to be addressed and taken care of. And so all students are protected under Title nine in the Department of Education, the United States Department of Education. Now, the things that were proposed was it classes for only one group of those protected students, and they excluded everyone else. Now, the mayor at the time, the school board member, was urging the inclusion of all of the classes and particularly the racial and religious. Thank you. Your time is up. Yeah. I appreciate that. Gray Harris, is she here? All right. Thank you. Then let's move on. Do we have a motion for the consent calendar excluding five, F and five? And as in Nancy, that were pulled? I will the approval of balance of the consent calendar. Thank you, sir. Second. All those in favor. Motion carries unanimously. Thank you. Five f. Recommendation to award a five year contract for an amount not to exceed a total. Five year. Expenditure of $8,264,931.69 to West Coast Arborists Inc for. Citywide urban. Forest maintenance services. Vice Mayor Pull this. Did you want to speak to it? So I had one question that I'd asked the city manager about earlier that was answered, which was why the total expenditure of $8 million. And that's because it's there's an option to extend for four years under the term. My second question has to do with why the golf fund fund to 80.5 is being included under the financing for this provision? And if and and how much of that how much how much of the funds are actually going to be used for this and if it includes maintenance of trees at the golf course. Good evening, Madam Mayor and city council members. We're asking you to basically approve this avoiding of this contract and the numbers actually, as you mentioned, the 10% contingencies that explains and the five year contract, which means that what those numbers are the way they are as far as the golf. The golf course. This is something that is within the. As far as I understand it, it does cover the the trees in the golf course areas. And there is also the there as you can see, there's some private trees that are belong to that are within jurisdictions of what used to be. And and there's also the work that is other work that is done for parks and recs. So it's in the contract. So that so the trees in the front, the golf funds being used is how much? So I'm I have to look at the numbers. I don't have the numbers right on the top of my head. But so is success will. Be pro-rated by the number of trees and the funding associated with it. Okay. And then I thought we have a contractor that's taking care of the golf course. Does that contract not include maintenance and care for the trees there? That's something that I would need to get back to. I don't have the actual information on that. These are probably under the city's jurisdiction or it. Can we have public commons sized. Cities, trees at the beginning? Perhaps someone might want to take out a public speaking slip. To speak on the item. You need fill slips or. You need to fill out a slip if you'd like to speak on it. I would like clarification relative to this before I feel comfortable signing off, because I think that there has been questions about the usage of golf course funds in the past for things not having to do with the golf course. So I would like to understand and get information. Right. Unfortunately, I understand this staff report is not clear enough on that. I need to get talk to your staff and get back to you. So if there is someone that could help address the answers, it'd be nice if they could fellowship it. So I guess Mary Ashcroft, if first of all, may ask the city manager, city manager, is this is this time critical? Yes, it. Is. Actually, it is. Yes. Mm hmm. So. As much as I appreciate potential Golf Commission members speaking, I think for the basis of my vote, I probably need to hear more information from staff. But I. Could you speak into the mic if you'd like to comment, please? Well, I was just thinking maybe we can just table this one and we can do a little research internally, and then we can come back to you tonight for an answer to that. Tonight? Yeah, I may be able. To do that. Well, we do have one member of the public to speak. And I'm sure he'd be allowed to speak then, too, unless you want to go. I'll take my comment as appropriate, so I'll go ahead and call Joe Van Winkle. So I believe the amount is actually indicated far down in the contract. If you read the details. And I think it's about 90 $600. And it's not actually my understanding is it's not actually for anything on the property, but rather adjacent to the property on Otis that runs along the golf course. And I think this has to do with the historical negotiation of that agreement. And I'm sure if staff gets a chance to to look at it, they'll be able to verify that. Can you all hear if you can? I hear you need to raise your hand. All right. I need the sound turned up so we can hear. I can speak. Louder. Thank you. Okay. So, first of all, in the very small print, at the bottom of that contract, way down below, there's an attachment that has all the amounts for all the different line items. And you'll find something down there. I think it's 90 $600. It doesn't specify that it's coming out of the golf fund. You have to kind of. Infer that by the location. But it's basically the strip of property that is adjacent to the golf course. It's not on the golf course. It's the Otis. I think it's Otis as it runs along there. And as part of that contract agreement, they made the contractor contribute some amount for maintenance around the golf course. So that's kind of like a business park amount. Thank you very much. All right. So that's five F. So as staff. So do we have a motion to accept this at this time? To approve it? I appreciated the assistant city manager suggestion that we. Moves a little later in the. In the agenda.
