New facilitator introduction, Brian Scott from BDS Planning & Urban Design II. Biden Administration and Opportunities, Eric Schinfeld, Port of Seattle The Biden Administration presents new opportunities for progress StART’s federal policy agenda. Eric noted that Federal Policy Working Group priorities can be accomplished through three mechanisms: 1. Executive action by the President and relevant federal agencies 2. Legislation (60 votes needed in the Senate to overcome filibuster), including the annual appropriations bills 3. Budget reconciliation between the House and Senate for fiscal and tax matters (only 50 votes are needed, but can only be used once or twice each year). The two available vehicles in 2021 are: o COVID relief package o Build Back Better package (rebuilding the economy via infrastructure/climate actions) Eric also noted that the Biden administration, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Congress, and the U.S. Department of Transportation all support sustainability and the environment, which aligns well with the Working Group’s framework, which puts StART priorities in a strong position.

StART enhances cooperation between the Port of Seattle and the neighboring communities of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Federal Policy Working Group MEETING SUMMARY OCTOBER 18, 2021; 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM VIA ZOOM V IDEOCONFERENCE Meeting Objectives: Federal Policy update on the administration’s legislative priorities. Develop questions for US Representative Smith’s presentation at the next StART meeting. Meeting Summary: I. Facilitator welcome, introduction and meeting agenda, Brian Scott from BDS Planning & Urban Design II. Federal Policy Update, Eric Schinfeld, Port of Seattle 1. Infrastructure Bill o The $1.2 trillion bill passed by the Senate a couple of weeks ago is currently awaiting passage by the House. Many progressive Democrats will not vote on the infrastructure bill until the Build Back Better Act, the social legislation that needs only 50 votes, passes. 2. Build Back Better Act o This bill would provide funding for programs such as education, childcare, health care, immigration, and the environment. o There has not yet been agreement on the cost and scope of the legislation by the Senate and the House and thereby there is no real clarity as to what will happen with either bill. o Some conservative Democratic legislators are not ready to pass the bill in its current form, and there is about a 25%-30% chance of the bill not passing. o StART members previously identified the environmental/climate portion of the bill as a priority to support, which address sustainability, air quality, and noise mitigation. o Earlier in the year, a joint letter…

StART enhances cooperation between the Port of Seattle and the neighboring communities of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Aviation Noise Working Group MEETING SUMMARY APR I L 12, 2021; 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM VIA ZOOM V IDEOCONFERENCE Meeting Objectives: • Review Glideslope adjustment progress. • Receive an update on the near-term aviation noise action agenda. • Receive an update on the temporary noise monitoring and discuss next steps. • Recap of the noise abatement departure profiles study. Meeting Summary: I. Facilitator welcome, introduction, and meeting agenda, Brian Scott from BDS Planning & Urban Design II. 34R Glideslope Adjustment Progress to Date, Colin Rice, Port of Seattle A. The Port is working with the FAA to determine if the glideslope could get raised to 3.1 degrees, above the industry standard of 3.0. Raising the glideslope from its current angle of 2.75 is a complex issue, however, for the following reasons: o The FAA owns the glideslope antennas – not the Port – making coordination & logistics complex. o Flight testing needs to be done as well and the Port must work with the FAA to move the glideslope antennas because the Port is overseeing planning, design and actual construction. o Others like PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator), a visual guide for pilots, must be moved as well. B. The SAMP timeline has been pushed back. o The federal environmental review (NEPA) will be completed early 2022. o The state environmental review (SEPA) will be completed by fall of 2022. III.
