Bird deterrent ball purchase agenda item
The City of Des Moines, WA is purchasing $124,191 worth of Bird-X bird deterrent balls to cover a 32,000-square-foot stormwater detention pond at the Des Moines Creek Business Park, after the Port of Seattle notified the city in 2023 that the pond was out of compliance with FAA wildlife hazard standards. FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-33C requires physical barriers on stormwater ponds near public-use airports—such as Seattle-Tacoma International Airport—when standing water persists longer than 48 hours and poses a risk of attracting hazardous wildlife that could interact with aircraft. The City Council approved the purchase on November 21, 2024, with costs funded through the Surface Water Management Maintenance Fund. -

Email Exchange: Normandy Park Mayor Eric Zimmerman on SAMP Frustrations and StART Strategy
In a November 2024 email exchange, Normandy Park Mayor Eric Zimmerman acknowledges frustration with the Sea-Tac Airport Master Plan (SAMP) process, explaining that the Port of Seattle Commission holds the real power over airport growth but that pro-growth cities like Seattle and Bellevue dominate that political landscape. He cautions against taking an activist stance toward the Port, warning that doing so could jeopardize the city's participation in the StART engagement process and cost Normandy Park hard-won mitigation benefits, such as an overnight runway use agreement that shifted late-night landings away from the third runway.
