Resolution 3119: Port Of Seattle Commission Authorization for ILA with City of SeaTac for State Building Code Enforcement at Sea-Tac

Notes

Port Of Seattle Commission Resolution No. 3119, adopted September 8, 1992, authorizing the Executive Director to execute an Interlocal Agreement between the City of SeaTac and the Port of Seattle for enforcement of the State Building Code at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The resolution references RCW Title 19 (1976), the Airport Building Department established in 1976 with King County concurrence, and the February 1990 incorporation of the City of SeaTac which brought the airport within its jurisdiction. Attachment ‘A’ contains the Interlocal Agreement text covering building permitting, Uniform Fire Code administration, and fire protection under RCW 14.08.120.

Sidebar On/Off

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
