RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file.
DISCUSSION
JWA - There is no new information to report at this time.
ASC - The County task force comments on the Final Report are
expected on or about June 3rd. Staff will update the Council as
information becomes available.
CRAS - Kathy Weil attended the April 23rd Board Meeting. A copy
of her report on that meeting is attached. The most important
issue to come up is the likelihood that the Orange County - Cities
Airport Authority (OCCAA), formerly the ICAA, intends to invite
Tustin, Irvine and several other cities to join. CRAS's issue is
that invitations are being extended selectively, not to all cities
in the county, consequently ORAS is urging it's members cities not
to join as OCCAA does not truly represent all cities within the
County.

RE: CRAS (Coalition for Responsible Airport Solutions) Board Meeting 4/23/90
We went through the regular preliminary business of the Board: 1) we had election of officers and reelected
the same officers - Sally Anne Sheridan is still our Chairman: 2) since activity seems to be slowing down
CRAS will meet once every two months now: 3) Payne & Associates, our PR firm is now being -retained on
an "as needed" basis.
As usual the most interesting part of the evening was the report by Sam Rake, CRAS' Legislative aide on
loan to us from the City of Irvine. Sam has been following the entire saga surrounding the search for an
additional Orange County airport site. His warning and plea to Tustin is not to join the OCCAA (formerly
the ICAA, run by Ken Delino from Newport Beach). OCCAA (Orange County Cities Airport Authority)
sounds good on the surface, until you discover that only Newport Beach, Tustin, Irvine, San Clemente, Costa
Mesa, Santa Ana, and Yorba Linda are being asked to join this group. This group, despite its' name, does
not include ALL the cities in Orange County, just a selected few that are probably unhappy with the noise
and congestion caused by Orange County Airport. REMEMBER THAT KEN DELINO'S PRIME GOAL
IN LIFE IN THE TOTAL ELIMINATION OF JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT, PERIOD! ! Ken Delino
changed the name of his ICAA (Inter County Airport Authority) in hopes of diverting some of the negative
press about his report on El Toro, recently. The report was riddled with flawed data and CRAS was more
than partially responsible for revealing that flaw. Anyway, so far Irvine and Santa Ana have seen through
Mr. Delino's tactic's and said if we are to have an all city's airport organization then we must invite ALL
Orange County Cities to join it, not just a few. CRAS is asking (pleading) Tustin to do the same - "all cities
or none".
The future of the Airport Site Coalition report is in the hands of a special Orange County EMA committee,
appointed by the County Supervisors. I'll keep you posted on its' development.
A few weeks ago 3 members of CRAS, on special invitation, visited ADELANTO, CA. For the uninitiated,
Adelanto is the site of George Airforce Base. Since the base will be closing in the next few years (as part of
the Defense Dept. mass closure of military bases), the town is preparing for the future. Bottom line is that
they would like to see the next Southern California commercial airport on the site of the current Air Force
base. They are willing to physically MOVE the half of the city that would be impacted by the increased flight
pattern to the other side of the airport. The new airport would be called High Desert International Airport,
Adelanto, CA. How's that for looking into the future!! Needless to say there are a lot of hurdles to
overcome in the next few years, but this is the first bright light in Southern California Aviation, I've seen for
a long time. You can begin to see why so many people are unhappy with such myopic people as Ken Delino.
If this airport materializes, and it will sooner or later, John Wayne Airport will remain a regional airport
servicing shorter hauls into larger hubs, just as it does now. We need to keep John Wayne, we just need a
larger airport somewhere else.
Next CRAS meeting is Monday,June 25.
MEMO: TUSTIN CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KATHY WEIL
RE: Annual Meeting CRAS (Coalition for Responsible Airport Solutions)
DATE: April 4, 1990
CRAS' second annual meeting of the general membership was held on Wednesday, April 4,1990. After a brief
Board meeting and election of the 1990 Board of Directors ( I was re-elected ), Sam Rake, our legislative aide,
reported that the Airport Site Coalition had at long last made their final report public. It held no surprises with
four sites being recommended. Their original mission was to narrow the "field" down to one. This final report
has been referred, by the Board of Supervisors, to EMA ( Orange County Environmental Management
Agency) for further evaluation. Their report is due in 60 days. CRAS was very proud of its' contribution to the
report because it had filled in much of the missing technical data on El Toro Marine Base in the ASC report.
They hope that this data will keep El Toro off any future airport site lists. There was further discussion about
ICAA changing its' name to OCCAA (Orange County Cities Airport Authority). Please don't be fooled. This
is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Ken Delino (of Newport Beach fame) is still very much involved. He's just taken
on another disguise.
The program for the evening, fortunately, took on a ray of hope for the future of transportation in Orange
County. Supervisor Riley began with a summation of the progress of the expansion of John Wayne. The
proposed opening of the airport is Saturday, September 8th. However, by the year 2010 the unmet demand will
exceed 15 million passengers, annually. Supervisor Riley also touched briefly on the 1.5 mile mono -rail system
proposed to be built, at the airport by McDonald Douglas.
Our second speaker was very well known to the mostly Leisure World audience. Col. Jack Wagner, the
Community Liaison Officer for El Toro Marine Base, touched briefly on the technical data that he had helped
CRAS collect, but his main message was the unrealized value of El Toro and Tustin Helicopter bases to the
surrounding community. He outlined the search and rescue capabilities of the Marines in the event of a large
earthquake in Central Orange County, reminding the audience of the probability of fallen freeway overpasses,
collapsed buildings and such. Since the area would be virtually shut off for awhile the helicopters and the base
itself would be immediately deployed with medical relief and supplies. The big C-130 cargo planes at El Toro
would be used to bring in supplies. Apparently El Toro is constructed to withstand a very large quake.
Interesting concept!
The last speaker was Peter Buffa, Mayor of Costa Mesa. What a dynamic speaker. And what a visionary
message he had! He's been part of the committee that's working with Supervisor Don Roth, who's the Vice
Chairman of the Interstate High Speed Rail Commission (with Las Vegas). Mayor Buffa shared with us the
definite possibility that a fully commercial airport could be placed out in the desert on the site of the soon to be
closed George Air Force base. It could be reached from Orange County, in 22 minutes, by the same high speed
rail that will be going from Anaheim to Las Vegas. Furthermore, because the closing of the base will have such
a negative financial impact of that area, the people actually want the airport. Mayor Buffa was part of the task
force that travelled to France and Germany to research the French TGV train and the German Mag-lev. He
was particularly excited about the low noise levels of the Mag-lev, saying it just sounded like a "whoosh".
Mayor Buffa also outlined some preliminary ideas for a Central Orange County monorail system that would
connect Irvine, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Orange and Anaheim with the High Speed Las Vegas
train. Since the whole system would occupy current, above -ground right-of-ways the estimated cost would be
a fraction of what it would cost to underground it, as they have in Los Angeles.
There are obviously problems with both of these ideas, but this is the first time I feel we have a chance of getting
off dead -center with our transportation problems. We are looking into the 21st century and it looks GREAT!!!
