Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Minutes April 9, 2018 <br />E. Strander Boulevard Extension Phase 3 BP/Olympic Pipeline Reimbursement <br />Staff is seeking Council approval of an agreement with BP/Olympic Pipeline in the amount of <br />$630,000 for their design of utility relocation associated with the Strander Boulevard Extension <br />Phase 3 project. Tukwila received federal grant funding for preliminary engineering and right- <br />of-way and is proceeding with the design process per recent Committee direction. BP/Olympic <br />Pipeline notified the City of their design fee as part of this work. Councilmember Quinn <br />inquired about the possibility of BP/Olympic Pipeline using some of the work already <br />completed by the City. The Committee requested that staff pursue this opportunity and bring <br />the agreement back for additional discussion. RETURN TO COMMITTEE. <br />Councilmember 'don exited the meeting at 6:10 p.m. <br />F. SeaTac International Airport Impact Study Budget Proviso <br />Staff update the Committee on the status of the 2019 Budget Proviso for the SeaTac <br />International Airport Impact Study. The final adopted proviso language provides $300,000 for <br />the Washington State Department of Commerce to study the impacts of SeaTac Airport on the <br />cities of SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and other <br />impacted neighborhoods. These funds will serve as a state match and may not be spent unless <br />$300,000 of local matching funds is contributed. The study must be delivered by December 1, <br />2019. The City of SeaTac has budgeted $250,000 for an airport impact analysis project, but no <br />other city listed in the proviso has formally committed funds to the required local match, nor <br />has Tukwila received a formal request to do so from either the Department of Commerce, the <br />City of SeaTac, or another entity. The Port of Seattle is also going to undertake SEPA and NEPA <br />studies as part of its Sustainable Airport Master Plan, which will consider future impacts as well <br />as mitigation. The Committee agreed with staffs recommendation to keep this item in <br />Committee until additional information is obtained, with Chair McLeod noting there are <br />several ambiguities. RETURN TO COMMITTEE. <br />III. MISCELLANEOUS <br />Agenda Approval Process <br />Chair McLeod stated that this is a productive and effective Committee that intends to accomplish a <br />lot in 2019. He noted that many agenda items are added by staff due to the timing of capital projects, <br />and as Chair he receives a draft agenda when it is almost too late to add items. Staff mentioned the <br />Committee work plan which captures both staff and Council items, and Councilmember Quinn <br />suggested that the Committee check-in on the work plan on a monthly basis. Staff will begin <br />including the work plan in the packet for the first meeting of every month. <br />Frank Zapp Bridge <br />The Frank Zepp Bridge will be now closed Friday, April 27, 7:00 p.m. through Sunday, April 29, 5:00 <br />a.m. due to repair work, rather than April 13 as originally scheduled. <br />The Transportation Committee Meeting adjourned at 6:40 p.m. <br />Committee Chair Approval <br />Minutes by LH, reviewed by GL <br />
