Travis AFB Sustainability Study Report Final Sustainability Study Report | Page 18
Stakeholders
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, such as the cities of Fairfield,
Suisun City, Vacaville and Vallejo, Solano County, and the public.
TSS Committees
The development of the TSS was guided by three committees, composed of
representatives from Solano County, the cities of Fairfield, Suisun City,
Vacaville, and Vallejo, 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).
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.
TSS Technical Advisory Committee . The TAC was responsible for identifying
and studying technical issues. Membership included representatives from
local jurisdictions, agencies, and Travis AFB with technical expertise in one or
more of the compatibility factors discussed in Chapter 5, Compatibility
Assessment. The TAC identified and addressed technical issues, provided
feedback on report development, and assisted in the development and
evaluation of implementation strategies and tools. Items discussed by the
TAC were reviewed by the PC for consideration and action. See the
Acknowledgments for a list of TAC members.

Committee meetings were held throughout the process to ensure the TSS
identified and appropriately addressed local issues.
Spectrum Encroachment Working Group. The SEWG worked to identify
and characterize the spectrum issues associated with the Travis AFB
missions. This included identification and evaluation of spectrum
encroachment and interference issues, plus additional topics identified by
the SEWG.
Public Participation
The general public was instrumental in the development of the TSS and its
recommended strategies by providing their perspective and feedback, both
in the public workshops and through the use of the interactive project
website (www.travissustainability.com). During the development of the TSS,
three public workshops were held to solicit public input on the direction and
content of the TSS. These workshops provided an opportunity for the
exchange of information with the greater community, assisted in identifying
the issues to be addressed in the TSS, and provided input on the strategies
proposed. Each workshop included a traditional presentation and a
facilitated exercise providing a hands‐on, interactive opportunity for the
public to participate in the development of the plan.
