Pasadena Councilmember Jason Lyon Appointed to Hollywood Burbank Airport Authority

Pasadena City Councilmember Jason Lyon has been appointed to serve as a commissioner on the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority. The appointment places Lyon in a key position to represent Pasadena’s interests in the joint powers agency that owns and operates Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR).

The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority operates as a joint powers agency formed in 1977 by the cities of Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena. Its governance structure consists of a nine-member Commission, with each city appointing three commissioners who serve four-year terms.

Among the most significant projects Lyon will help oversee is the replacement passenger terminal known as ElevateBUR. This major infrastructure project represents an important development for the regional airport serving the three cities.

Lyon joins eight other commissioners serving on the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority, including Pasadena Councilmember Tyron Hampton, who is the Authority’s Secretary-Treasurer, and former Pasadena Councilmember Andy Wilson, who is the Authority’s Auditor.
