    Regular meeting Des Moines City Council minutes

    Minutes from the January 9, 1992 Des Moines City Council meeting include discussion of airport-related noise and emissions issues, as Mayor Kennedy distributed a written report from the National League of Cities Congress noting that airport noise and aircraft emissions fall within the domain of the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources (EENR) Steering Committee. The report also references a vacant seat on the EENR Steering Committee specifically tied to airport issues, including noise and emissions from aircraft, for which the City of Des Moines applied. Membership would require attendance at four EENR Steering Committee meetings per year at a cost of $968 annually for NLC direct member status.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
