Subject: Livermore Airport Update At its regular meeting on June 26, 2006, the Livermore City Council: 1. Directed its staff to proceed with the purchase of the aircraft noise monitoring system, subject to the following condition: Send a letter to the City of Pleasant on requesting that the City of Pleasant on participate financially in the system, and if within 30 days the City of Pleasant on does not agree to participate financially, then no noise monitoring system will be purchased.

Approved the construction of38 large T-hangers and 27 small-box hangers which would be managed by a new or existing fixed base operator (FBO) operating under a ground lease. The development proposal for the hangers would be subject to the review of Livermore's Planning and Building Departments.

The main purpose of installing the hangers is to increase revenue at the airport and to accommodate pilots on a hanger waiting list. The airport currently has 274 aircraft owners who paid a deposit to be on a waiting list for T-hangers and large hangers, with an estimated wait time of 3-5 years for T-hangers and over 10 years for large hangers. The approved hanger construction would accommodate approximately 24 percent of this demand. Per the consultant's report, T-hangers are generally used to accommodate smaller single or twin engine planes flown by recreational pilots. Small-box hangers are generally used to accommodate smaller single- or twin-engine planes. Large-box hangers, which were not approved, are Livermore Municipal Airport Page I
