Resolution 08029497
CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 9029
AUTHORIZING MAYOR TO ADVISE STATE SENATORS HOLMDAHL AND PETRIS
OF CITY'S POSITION RESPECTING USE OF OAKLAND AIRPORT RUNWAY 27
FOR JET AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALAMEDA that the Mayor is hereby requested
and authorized to direct the following communication to the Hon. Robert Crown, Assemblyman, 14th
District:
"Dear Mr. Crown:
We understand that a resolution by Senator John S. Holmdahl,
co-authored by you and Senator Nicholas Petris, urging that military
planes be restricted to over-water routes in their approach to and
departure from Alameda Naval Air Station is to be introduced in the
State Legislature on Tuesday, February 20, 1973.
While we support such a resolution, we point out also, that
a long-standing concern of the City of Alameda has been the operation
of jet aircraft, including small private jets and full-sized commercial
aircraft, off the Port of Oakland north field (runways 27-L and 27-R),
Such operations cause low-flying jet aircraft to pass directly
over approximately 4,000 residents of the City of Alameda, We feel that
this situation possesses at least equal, if not greater threat to the
health, welfare and safety of the citizens of Alameda than operations at
the Naval Air Station. Jet operations off 27-L and 27-R which were not
intended for jet use are, we feel, unnecessary in light of the existence
of runway 29 which has over-water approach and departure paths and which
was designed and built exnressly for jet aircraft.
We therefore request and urge that the above-mentioned resolution
be specifically inclusive of all jet aircraft, military and civilian,
and/or that a resolution be forwarded to the Port of Oakland Board of Port
Commissioners requesting that jet operations off the north field runways
(27-L and 27-R) be completely discontinued.
Respectfully,
Terry Y. Le Croix, Mayor of
the City of Alameda, California'
