The SFO Airport Roundtable is made up of cities and jurisdictions <br />deemed impacted by aircraft noise emanating from flights at San Francisco International <br />Airport. <br />Redwood City, while only one of 22 regular members of the SFO Airport Roundtable, is <br />required to submit a response to the Superior Court, indicating its position on each of <br />the Civil Grand Jury's findings and recommendations directed to member cities. Council <br />member Gee, as Redwood City's representative on the SFO Airport Roundtable, <br />contributed to this response, bringing the perspective of the entire Roundtable <br />subsequent to its most recent meeting, at which the Roundtable members discussed <br />the Grand Jury report. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />N/A <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />N/A <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />N/A <br />
