At the same time, staff believes that other membership categories and responsibilities should be clarified and updated. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution 2011 -_ relating to the Membership and Responsibilities of the Aviation Committee. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. DISCUSSION: As the City approaches discussions to maintain the neighborhood - friendly protections at John Wayne Airport, the City Council directed that the Aviation Committee have a third City Council member. At the same time, staff believes it appropriate to clarify and update the membership categories and responsibilities of the Committee, which have not been updated since at least 2003. The City Council's extensive Airport Policy (Policy A -17) sets forth the City's goals, interests, and strategies regarding airports (including JWA) and should be the key priority of the Aviation Committee. Resolution 2011 -_ Changing the Membership and Responsibilities of the Aviation Committee April 12, 2011 Page 2 This matter was brought before the Aviation Committee on Monday, March 28, 2011, where comments were taken and some adjustments made to the language proposed before you today. Today's proposed action also adds some language to the Committee's description that improves its compliance with Council Policy A -9 relating to City Council Committees. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
