The Airport must have representatives at these hearings and the Airport and airline pilots opposed this bill, but it has passed a Subcommittee and goes to one more Subcommittee and then a vote. Councilman Penna asked if there are teeth in this Bill. Mayor Mullin stated it is an incremental step worthy of the Council's support, and we have hired a con- sultant to investigate. Discussion followed: Vice Mayor Mullin asked, will the Council vote on this; no a letter will be circulated; the Bill talks about the District Attorney; City Attorney will respond at the meeting in May, will develop an analysis and then agendize; if it is the D.A.'s jurisdiction, then we need response from the D.A.; the D.A. will handle if there are complaints to the noise standards; the Council should know what basis he will use. Mayor Mullin reported on the Oyster Point Liaison Committee meeting: the Marina is our property, but the Harbor District has land uses that need City approval, such as demolishing the Rod and Gun Club which is a safety hazard and there is water in the basement; this will be a staging area for racing of big power boats, is available for viewing, and there will be a press release; there is a potential for a hotel, a public market, completion and funding of the bay trail, widening of Oyster Point and a water taxi concept.
