Consent Item:                           #12 – Chairman Gutierrez stated that that he had received a couple of phone calls regarding the possibility of constructing a new terminal at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport.  He asked the Board to consider the formation of an Ad Hoc Committee, consisting of two members of the Board, to garnish this information and come back to the Board with a report.

Consent Item:                           #12 (continued) - Supervisor Mow expressed that prior to receiving any input from the community, the county needs to have its own house in order.  County Administrator Manuel Lopez emphasized that the current airport plans do not include plans of a new terminal.  He also said that the selection of a master developer in conformance with the current plan will probably be in late May.

Supervisor Ornellas stated that he had also heard rumors regarding a new terminal.  He understood that individuals from the City of Stockton and business people from Stockton had a conference call with Congressman Pombo on this subject.  Subsequently, Supervisor Ornellas received a telephone call from Congressman Pombo inquiring about a new terminal.  Supervisor Ornellas informed the Congressman that the County had not been contacted by anyone.

Supervisor Marenco stated that he had not been contacted by anyone.  He felt that all inquiries should be referred to the Airport Director or the County Administrator.
