RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to approve closure of selected County departments and/or divisions located on and in the vicinity of La Guardia Street, Salinas, California for the California International Airshow for Friday, September 28, 2018, 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and for this purpose only, waive Ordinance No. 766, fixing the day and hours of operation of County offices.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On August 8, 2018, the County received a notice from Don Chapin III, President of the California International Airshow, informing the County that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires a high speed acrobatic box for acts such as the Unites States Air Force Thunderbirds and United States Navy Blue Angels that is “sterilized” (no personnel), which would require closure and vacating of certain County office space within the corridor outlined by the FAA. This corridor includes selected County offices located on LaGuardia Street, housing certain units for the County’s Department of Child Support Services, Department of Social Services (including One-Stop Center) and the Office of Employment and Training.
The California International Airshow will celebrate its 38th and 39th anniversary shows this fall and spring. The 2018 show is scheduled for September 28, 2018 through September 30, 2018 and will feature the Thunderbirds. The 39th anniversary show will be held in March of 2019 and will feature the Blue Angels. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires a high speed acrobatic box for acts such as the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels that is sterilized (cleared of all persons). At this time, staff is recommending closure from 2:30 p.m. through 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 28, 2018 and will return at a later date with recommendations for the March 2019 show.
In order to implement the County closure of these County offices and release of employees on Friday, September 28, 2018 at shortly before 2:30 p.m. through 5:00 p.m., County Ordinance No. 766 (Attachment B) fixing the day and hours of operation will need to be waived for this purpose only. Impacted employees have been provided with options to flex their schedules, use leave time or work at an alternate location.
It is therefore recommended your Board approve the recommended actions.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The County Administrative Office concurs with this recommendation. All impacted County Department Heads were consulted and provided their input to the County office closure schedule.
FINANCING:
There is no General Fund impact with the closure of the County buildings during this time.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
The recommended action addresses the Board of Supervisors’ Economic Development Strategic Initiative and demonstrates the County’s commitment to collaborate to strengthen economic development to ensure a diversified and healthy economy.
