City of SeaTac/Highline Forum

A November 2021 City of SeaTac/Highline Forum presentation reviewed the city's COVID-19 financial recovery, noting that while sales tax revenues rose 50% compared to 2020, they remained 27.4% below pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Parking tax revenues also continued to lag significantly, down 72% in 2020 and still down 42% in 2021, reflecting the ongoing impact of reduced airport activity on city finances.

Amendment No. 3 to Port Of Seattle and City of SeaTac 2005 Interlocal Agreement (ILA-2)

This is Amendment No. 3 to a 2005 Interlocal Agreement between the Port of Seattle and the City of SeaTac, entered into on February 16, 2006, governing transportation planning and funding around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The amendment updates project management responsibilities and budget allocations for capital improvement projects, including the South Access roadway, SR 518 improvements, and the South Link Project on 28th Ave. S., funded through a local parking tax. It establishes rules for how parking tax revenues are divided among projects and outlines corrective actions if actual revenues fall short of forecasts.

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.
