Summary
A public commenter urged neighborhood councils to raise concerns about alleged conflicts of interest among members of the Ventura County airport advisory commission and flagged an upcoming meeting where changes are reportedly being discussed.
A public commenter raised concerns about alleged financial conflicts of interest among members of the Ventura County airport advisory commission and urged neighborhood councils to raise the issue when county supervisors attend local meetings.
Doug Stinn, who identified himself as attending on behalf of local neighborhoods near the airport, said people who sit on the airport advisory commission include business owners and employees who operate at the airport and that "they're sitting there making policy. So there's an ethics issue to be resolved." Stinn said he believed a November 12 meeting would consider proposals including abolishing the airport commission and that some materials were not available online.
Stinn urged neighborhood councils to note the appointments made by county supervisors and to raise the concern directly with supervisors when they attend neighborhood meetings. The meeting transcript records Stinn's comments as public comment; no city or county action was taken at the INCO meeting and no county official responded on the record at that session.
