The Des Moines, WA City Council is considering Resolution 25-034 to formally establish an ad-hoc Airport Advisory Committee focused on Sea-Tac Airport issues, including review of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP), interlocal agreements with airport partners, and the city's strategy with the Port of Seattle. The five-member committee would include the city's existing StART (Seattle-Tacoma Airport Roundtable) representative Joe Dusenbury and four mayoral appointees — Jeffrey Bogen, Barton DeLacy, Todd Downing, and Steve Reagin — each serving terms through December 31, 2027. The committee will act in an advisory capacity to the City Council, ensuring community involvement in decisions related to airport noise, expansion, and related environmental and policy matters.

The StART Policy Working Group met on June 2, 2025, to review federal and state legislative developments affecting Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and surrounding communities. Key topics included the loss of $1 million in state noise repair and replacement funding—swept back into the general fund due to budget shortfalls—as well as updates on FAA leadership, air traffic control modernization, and airport siting discussions through the Commercial Aviation Work Group. The group also highlighted funding secured for air quality programs and sustainable aviation fuel initiatives, and plans to refine its state and federal legislative agendas at its next meeting in August.
