MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) PROVIDING FOR THE CONTINUING OPERATION OF THE SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT/COMMUNITY ROUNDTABLE Preamble' San Francisco International Airport is owned and operated by the City and County of San Francisco but is located entirely within neighboring San Mateo County. Because of the shared- impacts that result from airport operations, the two counties entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) in 1978 to quantify the impacts and to identify possible mitigation actions. The implementation 'of the mitigations noted by the Joint Powers Board, in its Joint Action Plan, called for the formation of a formal structure and process to oversee the implementation of the numerous-mitigation actions outlined in the Plan. In May 1981, the County of San Mateo, the County Airport Land Use Committee (ALUC), and the governing bodies of 11 cities/towns located in San Mateo County near the Airport1 entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City and County of San Francisco to create a public body known as the San Francisco International' Airport/Community Roundtabl~ (Roundtable).
