Resolution No. 3032, adopted by the Port of Seattle Commission on October 25, 1988, amends an earlier resolution (No. 3016) concerning noise management at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The key change gives the negotiating committee—known as the Joint Committee on Aircraft Overflights—the freedom to select their own neutral convener (mediator) from at least three interviewed candidates, rather than being restricted as under the previous rules. The chosen convener would be retained for up to four months to organize a mediation process, ensure all relevant parties are represented, and report regularly to the Port Commission on progress.Open full document
