Changes in airport operations, airspace procedures, aviation infrastructure, and technology can have impacts on communities. Part 150 studies and community roundtabies are two methods by which airports and the FAA can help communities understand and participate in recommending changes to aviation services in their community.1 There are benefits to each approach, and many airports could be well-served by employing both strategies in a complementary manner. For example, an airport that is preparing to update its Part 150 program may be well-supported if there is already an effective roundtable in place, leading to more effective community participation in the Part 150 process. Similarly, a community roundtable may benefit from the periodic benchmarking and documentation of conclusions in a formal, approved Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program. Since 1983, more than 275 airports nationwide have taken advantage of the voluntary Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program, which provides a structured process for airports to engage with communities, airlines and other user groups as well as the FAA, with the goal of reducing incompatible land uses. A Part ISO study is a discrete undertaking intended to involve att stakeholders in evaluating current and future noise impacts, and identifying measures to mitigate them. It can result in recommendations for strategies to improve noise compatibility of existing and future development around airports such as changes in flight procedures and local zoning, land acquisition, sound insulation, and others. Federal funding for some solutions, such as sound insulation, require a Part 150 study. The Part 150 noise compatibility planning…

To: Port Commissioners, Steve Metruck, Lance Lyttle We are writing to elaborate on our rationale to suspend our participation in the Sea-Tac Airport Round Table (StART) and the condition we would consider for re-engagement in those or other discussions. As you are aware, our community and many others surrounding Sea-Tac Airport are experiencing significant impacts from aviation growth. We are constantly reminded by our residents of concerns about their health, the quality of their lives, and the value of their property. We have worked (and fought) with the Port for decades to try to address these concerns, asking for your help in prioritizing the environment, health, and economies of our communities over the desired growth of airlines and the Port. We have spent millions of dollars trying to have you understand our concerns. Obviously, we are cognizant of the benefits of aviation and Port activities to our region, but we also have a primary responsibility to ensure that our residents are safe and healthy and our communities thrive. We have been disappointed year after year to watch both the Port staff and Port Commission prioritize your economic needs over the health and quality of life in our communities. The last comprehensive assessment of the impacts of aviation and Sea-Tac Airport growth was published in 1997 in the form of the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for construction of the third runway. Since that time, flight operations have increased XX% from to . While you may argue that planes are quieter…

1. Consistent with our “background” discussion at latest Airport Committee meeting. City of Burien Airport Committee - Special Purpose Districts • in 1911, legislation enabling port districts were authorized with wide-ranging powers. • There are 53 categories of special purpose districts, including ports, in the State. • As of 1988, Washington State had more special purpose districts than any other state in the US. • Special purpose districts have unique powers and with one exception--Sound Transit--directly- elected governing boards. .W 2. 1988 Local Governance/ornmission experience. / City of Burien Airport Committee 2 Powers of Port Districts Title 53 RCW (enabled in 1911) economic development • Formation: 1 or 3 • Dissolution: 3 or via petition bY port conlrnlsslon 3.

Port needs to fully respond (one way or another) to long outstanding city/citizen requests for action. Inexcusable to pretend Port doesn’t know what is requested. Burien resolutions seeking Port action - 2019i ii. Des Moines letters to Port - 2019 iii. Federal WaV task force report recommendations - 2018 iv. Port of Seattle Airport Neighbor Community Accords - 2018 2. WHAT WE NEED – PART II - BETTER PROCESS + COMMITMENT TRANSPARENCY/ACCOUNTABILITY a. Participation by Elected's b. Audio-visual recording – red line on transparency and accountability at this point Now – after Lance Lyttle’s comments verbally and in writing, alleging that unnamed citizens acted in some non-explained bad faith – StART is no longer a safe space for citizens without full audio-visual recording. No justifiable reason for objection. c. Reboot/define specific mission/goals – not diluted into meaningless incrementalism useful only for marketing. Incrementalism must be byproduct of the defined consensus larger and specific, measurable objective. Like in the Century Agenda. d. Consensus on larger mission/goals priority, over incremental projects e. Agenda-setting not silo’d in practice f. Advance materials – no longer excusable as it undermines credibility and efficacy }I g. Speakers = diverse perspective must be priority; Port must accept and assist in bringing in counter viewpoints 3. CHARTER REVISION - START NOT A MARKETING ENGINE – MEDIA RELEASE/PR REQUIRES CONSENSUS – members agree no PR absent consensus CHARTER REVISION - START NOT “CHECK THE BOX” FOR LEGAL COMPLIANCE – agreement by members that no member will claim that participation…

OLYMPIA, Wash. – The Washington Department of Commerce request for proposal (RFP) to study the ongoing impacts of growing operations at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport closes on March 15, 2019. The department will then select a consultant through a competitive process for the $500,000 contract. Find more information and download the full RFP on the Commerce website Seattle-Tacoma ranks among the fastest-growing airports in the U.S., with operations up 23 percent between 2014 and 2016, and continuing to climb. The state Legislature requested the study last year and required Commerce procure a consultant (ESSB6032) to evaluate impacts on quality of life associated with Sea-Tac air traffic noise, public health, traffic, congestion, and parking in residential areas, pedestrian access to and around the airport, public safety and crime within the cities, effects on residential and non-residential property values, and economic development opportunities. Commerce has been working since last summer with staff and public representatives of Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, SeaTac and Tukwila, as well as state legislators to develop a statement of work. “In 2009 the state projected that by 2030 we would have 30 million passengers traveling through SeaTac. In 2018, we reached 50 million. We…

HH + ::W Continued, coordinated planning is essential for ensuring that the regional airport system can support existing and future demand. As part of these efforts, the Puget Sound Regional Council has launched the Regional Aviation Baseline Study, funded by a $1.6 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration. What is the purpose of this study? This two-'year study is intended to provide a clear picture of the region’s aviation system (King, Pierce, Snohomish and Kitsap counties) and form the technical foundation for future decisions by regional and state leaders. The objectives of the Regional Aviation Baseline Study are to: ' Identify the roles of each airport and the aviation activities within the region. Provide a regional perspective on how aviation activities at airports in the study area interact with each other, the community and the broader economy. Obtain input from stakeholders about their needs and build a common understanding about aviation and airspace constraints. Identify future aviation needs within the central Puget Sound region and set the stage for future planning. What will the study cover? The Regional Aviation Baseline Study will support future planning efforts by collecting information about: ' Existing conditions and recent trends in aviation, including the roles of each airport and the aviation activities within the region. • Economic contributions of regional aviation sectors and the factors that affect…

The Sea-Tac Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) meeting took place on February 27, 2019 with a focus on recapping the Aviation Noise Working Group meeting, previewing the upcoming Federal Policy Working Group meeting, discussing additional potential noise reduction initiatives, and discussing StART’s 2019 priorities. This voluntary, advisory roundtable, convened by Seattle- Tacoma International Airport Managing Director Lance Lyttle, is a venue for the Port of Seattle to engage with the communities of SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, Tukwila and Federal Way. Representatives from Delta Air Lines, Alaska Airlines, and Lynden Transport are also members. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) participates as a non-member. The Airport Managing Director welcomed the group and thanked StART members and members of the public who attended the recent StART briefing before the Port of Seattle Commission. He also thanked Joe Scorcio who is retiring from his position at the City of SeaTac and welcomed Carl Cole, the new SeaTac City Manager and representative on StART. The facilitator handed out copies of the recently finalized 2018 StART Annual Report. The Aviation Noise Working Group (Working Group) reported on their January 14 meeting and solicited guidance and questions from StART participants on a number of items on their Working Group Action Agenda. The summary, provided by Stan Shepherd, Port of Seattle, focused on the status of a number of the Working Group’s recommended initiatives including: • • • The draft updated Runway Use Agreement has been prepared and provided to the FAA for review and response;…
