   SB 1874, Alpert.  San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
   Existing law establishes the San Diego County Regional Airport
Authority in the County of San Diego and provides for a 9 member
permanent board.  Existing law establishes the initial term for one
of the members who is a mayor or members of the public of an east
area city to be 2 years.
   This bill would change that member's initial term to 4 years.
