IX. LAND ACQUISITION—GLENDALE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
Dr. Terry Johnson, Deputy Transportation Director,provided background on support for
airport project funding in the 2001 Ballot and by CACTI members and reviewed all
airport projects funded by GO Transportation matching funds over the past ten years.
Walter Fix, Glendale's Airport Manager, explained the federal requirement to establish
the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) as recommended in the Airport Master Plan by
Glendale's purchase of land at the end of the runway.
Commissioner Garland asked if this land will be an Airport RPZ forever? Mr. Fix stated
that this will remain Airport property according to Federal requirements. As an RPZ, this
land cannot be developed or be used for a concentration of people for any purpose.
Commissioner Baribault raised the issue of safety for users of Glendale Avenue within
the RPZ. Mr. Fix replied that the City has already assumed this risk in the past and will
continue to do so in the future. However, mitigation measures will be taken by the
Airport to help reduce this risk.
Commissioner Garland asked why the cost of land acquisition included $400,000 for
legal fees if the City has a legal staff to cover this expense? Transportation Director
Jamsheed Mehta explained that the City needs a private legal firm experienced in
condemnation to conduct the case, as well as a need for future appraisals that will be paid
from this amount.
ACTION: Recommend to the City Council that the City acquire 38.5 acres of
property for a runway protection zone at the Glendale Airport, and authorize the
transfer of budget appropriation for this purchase. (Motion: Commissioner Sheldon;
