The San Francisco City Commission convened on July 4, 2025, to address key issues surrounding the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) related to local airport operations. The meeting began with a welcome to Ms. Schneider, followed by a request from Commissioner Tanner for Dr. Hillis to reach out to the mayor of Millbrae. This outreach aims to facilitate discussions between airport staff and those involved in the EIR process, focusing on understanding and addressing concerns raised by the city of Millbrae.

As the meeting progressed, the commission moved to certify the EIR. Commissioner Koppel initiated a motion to certify, which was seconded by Commissioner Diamond. While expressing support for the certification, Commissioner Diamond emphasized the importance of continued dialogue with Millbrae to explore potential solutions to their concerns, independent of the EIR findings.

The motion to certify the EIR was put to a vote, resulting in unanimous approval from the commissioners present. The final tally showed a 6-0 vote in favor of certification, marking a significant step forward in the airport's operational planning.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the commission's commitment to both regulatory compliance through the EIR certification and proactive engagement with neighboring municipalities to address community concerns. The commission's next steps will likely involve ongoing discussions with Millbrae to foster collaboration and ensure a comprehensive understanding of local issues.
