This is the agenda for the Port of Seattle Commission Regular Meeting held on December 10, 2024, at Pier 69 Commission Chambers. The meeting covered a range of consent agenda items including airport infrastructure projects, environmental restoration efforts, and interlocal agreements, but does not contain specific discussion or policy decisions directly related to Sea-Tac Airport noise. Members of the public could participate in person, by phone, or via Microsoft Teams.

The Port of Seattle is seeking authorization to enter into a fifth Interlocal Agreement (ILA V) with the Cities of Des Moines and SeaTac to continue restoration projects along Des Moines Creek, contributing $89,304 per year over a 20-year period. This agreement is the latest in a series dating back to 1995, through which the Port, neighboring cities, King County, and the Washington Department of Transportation have collaborated on stormwater management and environmental restoration in the creek basin near Sea-Tac Airport. The ongoing work addresses the airport's environmental impact on local waterways and reflects a long-term regional commitment to creek basin planning and habitat restoration.

The Port of Seattle is seeking authorization to enter into a 20-year Interlocal Agreement with the Cities of Des Moines and SeaTac to continue the Des Moines Creek Basin Plan, which manages drainage, flooding, erosion, fish habitat, and water quality issues near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The Port would contribute $89,304 per year, covering ongoing operation and maintenance, habitat monitoring, and infrastructure improvements for facilities such as the Regional Detention Facility and High Flow Bypass Pipeline. This cooperative regional effort reduces costs for all parties and supports the airport's stormwater management and environmental compliance obligations.
