COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION Recommendation 20200529-001: Texas Regional Landfill Company Application Whereas, it is the Airport Advisory Commission responsibility to review and make recommendations to the city council on aviation projects that the Department of Aviation proposes for the capital improvements program, proposed aviation grants, aviation contracts, annual operating budget and quality of services at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA or Airport); and Whereas, the quality of services provided by the Department of Aviation are linked to public perception of safety is an important to all air travelers, and past and future funding support for the Airport is partially dependent on successful wildlife hazard management; and Whereas, according to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), wildlife strikes pose a significant safety risk to aircraft as evidenced during the past century as wildlife-aircraft strikes resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives worldwide.
