▪ Update to this issue: Michael Valencia, ALB GM over Las Vegas Tower/TRACON, has reached out to my co-lead and myself to help facilitate the needs and concerns in regard to training and implementation of our project. We had our initial conversation with him on Friday, March 22, to discuss more specific issues the POCs have expressed. o ZLA is in a similar position operationally, however it appears their support staff is in better shape. The difficult position for ZLA will come when we need to occupy their DySim lab. We have begun discussions with ZLA as to what resources may be needed for implementation. o Our project has been delayed on two occasions now due to requests from CCDoA to push back our public outreach. Their reasoning has been centered around the recent November elections and installation of new county commissioners. They believe the delay is necessary in order to brief the correct people and allow the new commissioners an opportunity to become familiar with our project. ▪ The multiple delays could extend our ability to turn our project over to the environmental contractor on time. We have been coordinating with them from very early on and at this time, we are on schedule to meet all of our timelines. However, any additional delays or problems could affect our implementation date. ▪ We have our public outreach tentatively scheduled for the week of April 9- 11.
