Background: The San Bernardino International Airport Authority (SBIAA) owns and operates a public airport situated on a portion of the former Norton Air Force Base which is located entirely within the municipal boundaries of the City of San Bernardino. The operation of the Airport by the SBIAA is subject to the terms and conditions of a public airport operator's permit issued to the SBIAA by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The SBIAA is responsible for undertaking, from time to time, certain public works contracts for the improvement and maintenance of aeronautical infrastructure and public airport capital facilities at the Airport, including airport public works improvement projects for the construction and improvement of airplane runways, taxiways, airport passenger and cargo loading and unloading ramps, and other airplane ground movement and taxiway improvements, airport aviation lighting, airport radio communication facilities, navigational aids, aviation traffic control facilities, stormwater drainage facilities, airport access roads, public mass transportation parking facilities for airport users, airport security fencing, airport clear-zone projects and habitat maintenance activities (collective referred to as ~ Airport Improvement Projects"). The City of San Bernardino and SBIAA had previously entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for a 5-year period which began on January 1, 1998 and ended on December 31,2002 (the ~1998 MOU") in which the City granted to the SBIAA an exemption from the payment by the SBIAA to the City of any City regulatory fees, or building permit inspection fee associated with certain Airport Improvement Projects. The City and the SBIAA have each determined that it is appropriate to extend the term and effect of the 1998 MOU in accordance with the provisions of the attached 2003 MOU. A copy of the 1998 MOU is attached hereto for reference as Exhibit ~B". Construction of any new airplane hangar, the construction of any additional interior floor area of any existing airplane hangar or the re-occupancy or change in use or occupancy of any existing hangar situated within the Airport Operations Area (AOA) will not be exempt from the payment to the City of any development project or building permit or inspection fee under the attached 2003 MOU. The SBIAA is also requesting that the City authorize SBIAA to serve as ~lead agency", as this term is dermed in the Public Resources Code Section 21067, for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of the California Enviroumental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Enviroumental Policy Act (NEPA) with respect to any Airport Improvement Project undertaken by the SBIAA in the Airport Operations Area during the term of the 2003 MOU. Staff feels that the SBIAA is qualified and capable of performing the role of ~lead agency" for 2 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report (Cont'd) CEQA and NEPA with respect to Airport Improvement Projects as described in the 2003 MOD. The 2003 MOD shall be deemed to be in effect upon execution by the City and the SBIAA, and shall remain in effect until December 1, 2006. The 2003 MOD shall automatically renew for five successor one-year periods commencing with the first such renewal on January 1, 2007, unless written notice is given by either party at least ninety days prior to such automatic renewal date of the 2003 MOD. A copy of the 2003 MOD is attached hereto as Exhibit" A". Financial Impact: The financial impact of unrealized revenue from City regulatory fees and/or building permit inspection fees is unknown at this time. However, there is a partial offset in the unexpended staff time costs of providing those services to the SBIAA.
