SUBJECT: Council Member Echevarria’s Request to Discuss the Potential for Council to Reconsider the Recommendation for Essential Air Service to the Department of Transportation at a Future Council Meeting

REPORT IN BRIEF

Council Member Echevarria’s Request to Discuss the potential for Council to reconsider the recommendation for essential air service to the Department of Transportation pursuant to City Council Administrative Policies and Procedures C-1.

RECOMMENDATION

Provide direction to staff on the potential to reconsider previous Council action at a future meeting.

Body

DISCUSSION

This request is in support of the petition submitted by Boutique Air requesting that the City Council make Boutique Air its 1^st Choice Recommendation for Essential Air Service to the Department of Transportation.

As provided in the May 28^th formal letter, CEO Shawn Simpson states, “Boutique Air is committed to significant economic development and job growth in Merced”. For this reason, this item has been requested to be reconsidered by Council Member Echevarria. These benefits would specifically benefit the community of District 2. Council Member Echeverria is looking forward to seeing this placed on the agenda for further discussion and direction from my fellow council members.
