Members would serve staggered five-year terms, with new appointments beginning annually in 1982.

This document outlines a planning framework for evaluating policy ideas related to Sea-Tac Airport and surrounding communities.

Ideas scoring 0 are eliminated from consideration, while higher-scoring ideas advance as viable planning alternatives to be combined and refined in a subsequent phase of the planning process.
