Minutes 2001-07-23MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
CYPRESS CITY COUNCIL
HELD
July 23, 2001
A regular meeting of the Cypress City Council was called to order at 5:32 p.m. by Mayor
Pro Tem Sondhi in the Executive Board Room, 5275 Orange Avenue, Cypress,
California.
PRESENT:
ABSENT:
Council Members Keenan, Piercy, Mayor Pro Tern Sondhi, Mayor
McGill (arrived at 5:42 p.m.)
Council Member McCoy
STAFF PRESENT: City Manager, Assistant City Attorney, Director of Finance
and Administrative Services, Community Development Director, Chief of Police, Public
Works Director, Assistant to the City Manager, Planning Manager, and City Clerk.
Mayor Pro Tern Sondhi stated two presentations would be made, one by Art Bloomer,
Executive Director of the Orange County Regional Airport Authority, and the other by
Robert McGowan, Council Member from the City of Villa Park.
Mr. Bloomer thanked the Council for giving him the opportunity to educate the City
Council and those present about the proposed redevelopment plan for the former El
Toro Marine Corps Air Station.
Mr. Bloomer stated Cypress is one of fourteen members of the Orange County
Regional Airport Authority (OCRAA), which supports the proposed aviation reuse for the
El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. OCRAA has contracted with a public relations firm to
provide information to the public on the benefits of an airport at El Toro.
Mr. Bloomer stated the County's plan for redevelopment of the Base is both an airport
and an open space plan. Of the 4,700 acres that comprise El Toro, only 2,200 are
proposed for the aviation reuse. He provided the Council with a chart showing regional
demand projections from SCAG, which shows an increase for both cargo and
passenger demands. He stated Southern California communities that develop the
demand for the increase should be responsible for providing their side of the capacity,
instead of a large expansion to LAX, which would impact the surrounding communities.
Jack Wagner, Deputy Executive Director of the Orange County Regional Airport
Authority, stated the SCAG Aviation Task Force estimated that with an airport at El Toro
by the year 2020, over 580,000 vehicle miles per day would be reduced because of
lower traffic congestion going toward Los Angeles.
Mr. Bloomer stated that John Wayne Airport will not be able to meet the cargo and
passenger demand that will be generated in the future. The best way to add additional
capacity is with new runways. One runway will add an additional 30 to 40 flights per
hour where air traffic control improvements are capable of increasing the flow by about
three to five flights per hour.
Mr. Wagner stated that an estimated 92,000 jobs would be created with 64,000 being in
Orange County, and over 16,000 of those being at the airport. It is estimated that
governments would receive an increase in tax revenue of $55 to $60 million.
Mr. Bloomer stated the FAA has said that El Toro can be operated from safely. There
are 14,000 acres surrounding the facility without a single residence, which reduces the
noise impact.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 23, 2001
Bob McGowan, Council Member, Villa Park, and Russell Nierowski, Charles Griffin, and
Ann Watt of The New Millennium Group, introduced themselves to the Council.
Mr. Nierowski stated their group is in support of an airport at El Toro and recognize the
benefits, but have a different perspective based on resident impacts from John Wayne
Airport, and a solution that better mitigates the impacts and safety issues.
Mr. McGowan stated his group has a concern with the direction of the runway and the
potential problems with the wind as proposed by OCRAA.
Mr. Nierowski stated their plan for the airport has a greater chance of being accepted
because it is safer, more efficient with straight in and straight out departures, and
avoids most of south Orange County residents. Their proposal is for a 2,200 acre
airport, 928 acres for exchange in land entitlements, which could assist in securing
schools where they are needed in the county, and a 1,000 acre habitat.
Mayor Pro Tem Sondhi stated that each group had provided a handout of their
presentation made this evening.
At 6:18 p.m., the Mayor recessed the meeting.
