An early step in any planning process is the identification of stakeholders.
Informing and involving them early in the project is instrumental in the
identification of compatibility issues to address and solve through the
development of integrated strategies. Stakeholders include individuals,
groups, organizations, and governmental entities interested in, affected by,
or affecting the outcome of the TSS project. Stakeholders identified for the
Travis AFB Sustainability Study included, but were not limited to:
The Band of the Golden West, based at Travis AFB, performs free
community relations concerts throughout the local community,
including multiple schools in support of National Red Ribbon Week, a
drug‐prevention program.
Volunteers from Travis AFB participate in the Martin Luther King Day
of Service each year through the Airman and Family Readiness Center,
logging 18,000 volunteer hours in 2015, helping with Habitat for
Humanity, the Red Cross, and Rebuilding Together Solano County.
TSS Committees
The development of the TSS was guided by three committees, composed of
representatives from Solano County, the cities of Fairfield, Suisun City, and
Vacaville, Travis AFB, federal and state agencies, resource agencies, and
other stakeholders. The three committees are the Policy Committee (PC),
the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and the Spectrum Encroachment
Working Group (SEWG).
Travis AFB participates in the Travis Community Partnership
Leadership Committee, along with leaders of the surrounding
communities. The committee identifies and implements mutually
beneficial partnerships and has led to the construction of a jointly
used Emergency Responder Urban Training Site.
Public and Stakeholder Outreach
TSS Policy Committee. The PC was made up of the Solano City County
Coordinating Council, which consists of the 7 Mayors and the 5 members of
the Board of Supervisors. The PC was responsible for guiding the direction of
the TSS, preparing and approving the study design, approving policy
recommendations, and approving the draft. PC meetings occurred during
the regularly scheduled City County Coordinating Council meetings.
The goal and objectives of the TSS process is designed to create a locally
applicable study that builds consensus and obtains support from the various
stakeholders involved. To achieve the TSS goal and objectives, the
TSS process included a stakeholder and public outreach program that
provided a variety of opportunities for interested parties to contribute to its
development.
