Department:

Executive Team

Subject:

Workshop on 12th Flying Training Wing Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard Program. (S.Williams/B.James)

BACKGROUND

Representatives from JBSA-Randolph's 12th Flying Training Wing reached out to city staff to discuss issues they are having with vultures roosting in the Aviation Heights neighborhood. The number of vultures roosting in this area poses a potential hazard for flight operations. The goal of the effort to be undertaken by JBSA's Wildlife Biology Team is to move the vulture roost out of the T-38 flight pattern area - away from housing and low-flying pattern areas. City staff proposed a workshop before City Council to inform them and the public of the effort. City Staff will work over the next few months to inform the public of this effort through various sources such as the City's website, Schertz Magazine, Social Media, etc.
