BUSINESSAGENDA A. State Legislative Update Staff updated the Committee on state legislation pertainingto the Port of Seattle. House Bi111999 which proposed to increase the number of Port Commissioners as well as create Port Districts, was not moved out of the House and is effectively dead. There is no longer a need for the City Council to take a position. House Bill 1171, directing the Washington State Department of Commerce to complete an air quality study regarding air traffic, is also dead but a proviso in the House budget is expected to move forward. The City of SeaTac has also been pushing a proviso for an impact mitigation study that would analyze impacts relating to health, transportation, parking, public safety, property values and economic development in SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way and Normandy Park. Staff recommends supporting but not providing funding for an air quality study and remaining neutral on an impact mitigation study. Senate Bill 5388 seeks to provide additional tools for removing trespassers from residential foreclosed properties. Staff recommends Council support for this bill. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL TO SUPPORT AIR QUALITY STUDY AND SENATE BILL 5388. FORWARD TO APRIL 3, 2017 REGULAR MEETING. B.

The Public Safety Committee discussed this information on March 20, 2017 and expressed continued support for tools to encourage local hiring /apprenticeships and DBE participation, but felt affordability and timeliness should not be compromised. This Committee also discussed the options and expressed continued support to pursue a tool that makes sense for Tukwila, as well as for a policy applicable to all projects in the City. Use of this
