11/19/2021 11:21 AM Mark Gibbs CCC project completed for removing trees less than 14" dbh. Burn piles awaiting 2 year cure period when CCC will secure a new contract from the City to burn woody materials. No trees were cut within the SEZ areas of airport property. These trees were left for another future contractor who can remove cut trees out of the SEZ.
11/04/2020 1:50 PM Mark Gibbs In 2020 the airport contracted with CCC to perform 79.11 acres of airspace obstruction prevention and hazardous fuel reduction on airport property. Due to an unprecedented California fire season the CCC was unable to deploy crews during the contract year; only accomplishing 2 acres of the 79.11 acres of treatment. The City hopes that the work can continue over the winter, spring and into next summer; resource permitting.
