Per SSB 5370 (2019), as revised by SSB 5165 (2021), the following survey information below is provided as the final report to the Legislature from the Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission (CACC). At the onset, it is important to note that as a result of legislative action in 2022, the timeline for the Commission’s work was extended to June 15, 2023. Executive summary The Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission’s final hybrid in-person and online meeting June 9, 2023, focused on how to ensure that the work of the CACC provides a solid foundation and baseline of information to be used by the follow-on work group established by ESHB 1791.

The majority also believe Paine Field will continue to add…

of past laws. In three areas of crucial importance for our state, I am part of teams tasked by the Legislature with solving knotty problems to ensure Washingtonians get the best out of some of the nation-leading programs we have established. In this pamphlet, I'll update you about the work we have done on those three issues: • Paid Family and Medical Leave • WA Cares, the nation's first public long- term care insurance program • The future of commercial aviation in Washington am excited to return to Olympia in January after two years of mostly virtual sessions. That means we will again have debate on the Senate floor and in-person testimony in committees. We'll continue the options for written and some virtual committee testimony to keep our work transparent and accessible and to make it easier for people to testify. Most importantly, I hope you will stay in touch so that I can best represent your issues and concerns in Olympia.

He then reviewed the agenda. Public Comment Period Jeni Woock, Gig Harbor City Council member, commented that those in the city of Gig Harbor and all of the citizens there have grave concerns over any expansion to the Tacoma Narrows Airport. Looking at the master plan from the Tacoma Narrows Airport, the challenges are many and not suitable for airport expansion. Noise and particulates are something our community does not want to see. Her concern is Pierce County Council, who is the sponsor for this Tacoma Narrows Airport, sent a letter in to the Commission asking to have this airport removed from consideration and it has not been removed from consideration. She would like to know what they need to do to get it removed from consideration from any airport expansion. David Fleckenstein responded by saying there are airports that remain on the list given their potential to meet some of the general aviation demand. Updates • The Aviation System…
