consenting to the Participation of the Counties of James City and York and the City of
Williamsburg in the Peninsula Airport Commission at it’s January 24, 2018 Hampton
City Council Meeting. He is hopeful that this body can act on that and move forward.
Mr. Giardino stated that we had accepted a resolution from the County of York to
participate but that the Commission still needs to accept the resolutions from James
City County and the City of Williamsburg. We are also awaiting action from Newport
News City Council.
Commissioner Wallace stated that as it stands now there are four (4) members from
the City of Newport News and two (2) members from the City of Hampton and since the
physical asset is in the community of Newport News they may not want to have their
percentage of participation diluted with other communities coming on board and
therefore have less of an oversight of the airport. He stated that in upcoming
deliberations about this matter, we may want to consider that. Commissioner Mallon
stated that he would then like to have a legal opinion from our legal counsel regarding
this and what the Acts of Assembly and Bylaws state. Mr. McNider, legal counsel said
he would be happy to give a report. Commissioner Mallon stated that we can’t make a
decision on that ourselves, he believes it would have to go to the General Assembly.
Commissioner Rob Coleman agreed. Commissioner Mallon reminded everyone that
the Commission had sent a letter inviting participation from the other communities and
that Secretary Aubrey Layne recommended more participation on the Commission.
