Notes
June 10, 1998 letter from Washington State Legislature representatives Karen Keiser (State Representative, 33rd District) and Julia Patterson (State Senator, 33rd District) to Marc Stiles, reporter at the Seattle Times, urging coverage of Port Of Seattle violations of Federal Grant Assurance C.6. The State Auditor’s Office confirmed the port failed to secure written declarations of support from surrounding jurisdictions of Sea-Tac Airport for its noise remedy programs. Deloitte and Touche audits repeatedly identified the violations. Congressman Adam Smith requested a GAO investigation. Over $100 million in federal grants spent; 6,412 homes insulated, 2,740 remaining, 1,141 homes require re-insulation at $11 million due to building-code violations. Transaction assistance program covered 3,000 homeowners; total program cost $130 million with $18 million more needed. State Auditor recommended an independent mediator.
