Why This Vote Matters

Richmond will seek to rejoin a regional board that handles airplane noise complaints after unanimously approving the request. The city previously lost its seat on the Oakland Airport-Community Noise Management Forum, but recent changes to flight paths have brought new noise issues over Richmond neighborhoods. If accepted back onto the forum, the city council will appoint one official to advocate for residents' concerns about aircraft noise. This was a routine governance matter that received broad council support.
