  And while this is the first time that the airport has used design-build, everything seems to be working so far, says David Maas, deputy director in the planning and development division at the airport.
  
  "It's a challenge, but so far, so good," Maas says.
  ...
  Managing such a complex project necessitated the airport use design-build and the airport is meeting its cost targets, Maas says.
  
  Using design-build, though, means the airport has to communicate what it wants from the contractor right away. Later changes will mean higher costs, he says.
  
  "As a client, it forces you to be clear up front," Maas says. "It forces us to make decisions much earlier."
  
  The terminal area improvement program is meeting its goals so far, he says. "Hensel Phelps has been very good to work with," Maas says.

  Guests Present: Harvey Hartman, FAA Bay Terminal Radar Corporate Control; Emily Zimmerman, SJC Operations; Dave Maas, Deputy Director of Aviation
  ...
  Mr. Maas, Deputy Director of Aviation at SJC, explained that since the CMC has been in affect there has been a steady decrease of intrusion.
  ...
  Mr. Maas stated that although ANAC doesn't work with the curfew that there is a working committee that works directly with Airlines.
  ...
  Mr. Maas said that there is no security emergency category because the forms do not come with that option but we can look into it.
  ...
  Mr. Maas added that there are other navigating aides the Airport can utilize but primarily it's visual.
  ...
  Mr. Maas provided a brief update on the Noise Exposure Map (NEM), which included a brief description and a visual of the map (which can be viewed at www.sjc.org).Recently approved by Council, the map has been sent to FAA for their final approval.The NEM is what the Acoustical Treatment Program (ACT) uses as a basis in establishing the Airport's treatment area and is also the basis by which the Airport receives federal grants for the acoustical treatments.Resident asked if this is the largest exposure of noise or is this just current.Mr. Maas answered that this is the forecasted NEM into the year 2006.
  ...
  Mr. Maas answered that it is much greater than the previous NEM.
  ...
  Mr. Maas answered that the intent is to treat the 1,200 or so homes in the 65dB CNEL and then continue on using the passenger facility charge (PFC) applications and go another 1 ½dB.
  ...
  Mr. Maas explained that the City's policy is to treat from greatest noise exposure to least.
  ...
  Mr. Maas described that for full treatment, the ACT Program offers new doors, attic insulation, special windows, and air conditioning, with no cost to the homeowner.Resident asked if Brown-Buntin did the noise studies for the EIR in 1996 and, if so, did they ever explain to the Airport how they happened to predict that the noise contours were going to decrease after the year 2000 and now, with the same information they had then, they are now saying that they are going to expand.Mr. Maas explained that during the NEM meeting, Brown-Buntin explained that the three major reasons the predictions were off were due to: 1) Airlines were suppose to have switch to 100% Stage 3 aircraft and Hush Kits were not yet developed, our Airport ended up with a lot of hushkitted aircraft that did not exist in 1996 when they did their prediction; 2) they also predicted that there would be a lot of commuter aircraft (propeller aircraft) but they didn't appear and they actually came in the form of Jet Aircraft (MD80 & B737); and 3) at the time we were doing the NEM we were ahead of the curve in terms of the amount of traffic that we have.

  Mr. Maas also explained that as the aircraft move further to the south they are further to the east.

  ...
  Mr. Maas, Deputy Director of Aviation at SJC, explained that since the CMC has been in affect there has been a steady decrease of intrusion.There is an annual report from the CMC that goes to Council, which most recently showed a decrease over the past year with regards to intrusions.CMC is trying to educate aircraft operators about the curfew so as to reduce the number of intrusions.CMC has taken action with various Airlines and worked with them to change flight times or equipment times.Since the CMC has been in place there's been a steady improvement in the number of compliant and non-compliant intrusions.

  Mr. Maas answered that the intent is to treat the 1,200 or so homes in the 65dB CNEL and then continue on using the passenger facility charge (PFC) applications and go another 1 ½dB.The 1 ½dB represents the change in noise exposure that will require another update of the NEM in the future (FAA regulation state that should the measured noise contour be 1½dB different than the predicted contour, either bigger or smaller, the Airport needs to re-do the map).As a result of September 11th the map is shrinking; what was 800 homes in Guadalupe-Washington Area is now down to about 300 homes.

  Airport Staff Present: Dave Maas, Deputy Director of Aviation; Jaime Locquiao, Senior Airport Noise Specialist; Chris Blair, Airport Noise Specialist; Ken Betts, Airport Noise Specialist, Cindy Johnson, Airport Secretary; and Marina Dyke, Airport Community Liaison, Bob Valerio, Acoustic Treatment Program Manager, Monica Gomez, ACT Program Community Liaison, and Bob Brown, Brown Buntin Associates.
  ...
  Mr. Maas commented on the materials presented by Mr. Valerio and Ms. Gomez.
  ...
  Mr. Maas reiterated those homes that are in, or touching the area will qualify for either AIP Grants or PFCs without question.Staff is proposing to take the regulation further.He said, this area is unusual from what is normally done with Airport and federal regulations.
  
  Mr. Maas said that if the measured noise contour ever grows 1.5 dB bigger than the projected contour, the process of updating the map occurs.He stated the homes inside the 65 CNEL qualify for Federal grants and PFCs; the area outside of the 65, will not.The Airport will have to work with the FAA to justify the use of PFCs to treat the secondary area.Airport staff feels this is an equitable way to draw the line for treatment areas.
  
  Mr. Maas explained that the 65 dB line on the map implies a level of certainty; however, there is a 1.5 dB tolerance . Staff proposes to get the secondary homes in place and begin looking for funding.
  
  Mr. Maas asked Mr. Valerio to review the geography around the Airport using the 63.5 criteria, stating that this criterion is the best way to have equitable treatment around the Airport and to have a reasonable chance of qualifying areas for treatment outside the 65 decibel area with the FAA.
  ...
  Mr. Maas said with the phase out of Stage 2 aircraft, FAA had taken a look at contour shrinkage nationwide.Although, contours should shrink and reduce acoustical treatment areas, SJC's contour was growing, which resulted in the need to update our NEM..There was a temporary shrinkage in traffic reduction after September 11th, however, based on the nature of business in the Silicon Valley, we expect a growth in traffic to return which is indicated in our presentation.
  
  ...
  Mr. Maas said the map, as well as public comments and questions would be on the website.The comment period would be extended to February 21, 2002, but would not be able to go beyond that date, as we are trying to meet an Airline Commission date of the first week of March . He also said, staff could provide color copies of the map as needed.
  
  ...
  Mr. Maas said we are not familiar with the east coast reference but will look into the matter further, as this may be helpful information to support our Airport's 63.5 CNEL proposal.
  
  PUBLIC INPUT ON THE NOISE EXPOSURE MAP UPDATE
  
  The following input was received from the audience:
  
  Noise Exposure Map Issues
  
  ...
  Mr. Maas said all input would be considered and said the purpose of tonight's meeting was to receive public input so we could move forward with the Noise Exposure Map Update process.
  ...
  Deputy Director Dave Maas went over the "next step" process explaining that Public input will be compiled and taken to the Airport Commission Meeting the first week of March.Staff will recommend City Council approval of the Noise Exposure Map, and send revised treatment area recommendations to the FAA.Mr. Maas noted the FAA, has a six-month process to approve maps.The final step would be to amend our PFC Applications to provide funding for these projects.Staff has submitted a pre-application as a informal document; however, once approval has been given, we would submit a formal grant application.
  
  Chairman Blake adjourned the meeting at 7:55 p.m.
