The committee also reviewed a resolution on long-term aviation capacity needs in Western Washington and planned to participate in a March 1 City Council study session covering topics such as the siting of a second airport, the roles of various regulatory bodies, and strategies for influencing the FAA and Port of Seattle. Additional items included updates on a state-funded airport impact study, the formation of a new Sea-Tac Airport Stakeholders Advisory Round Table, and community concerns about aircraft noise and its effects on property values.
