Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Minutes......................................................................................June 25,2018 <br /> <br /> <br />III.MISCELLANEOUS <br /> <br />SeaTac Airport Study Budget Proviso <br />Staff updated the Committee on the status of the 2019 Budget Proviso for the SeaTac International <br />Airport Impact Study. The final adopted proviso language provides $300,000 for the Washington <br />State Department of Commerce to study the impacts of SeaTac Airport on the cities of SeaTac, <br />Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and other impacted neighborhoods, not <br />to be spent unless $300,000 of local matching funds is committed. Since the Committee was last <br />briefed on May 15, staff has continued to monitor this issue. The City of SeaTac has proposed that <br />cities contribute on a population basis <br />Moines, Burien and Normandy Park have informally pledged their population-based contributions, <br />but Federal Way is proposing an amount less than half of that requested. Staff remains neutral on <br />contributing, but suggested that if Council gives direction to contribute, Tukwila should have an <br />independent relationship with the Department of Commerce rather than have SeaTac represent it. <br />Committee members discussed the scenarios and expressed support for contributing the <br />$14,445.61, but would like the full Council to weigh in. Chair McLeod mentioned that it is important <br />to partner with the City of SeaTac on this and other opportunities. FORWARD TO COMMITTEE OF <br />THE WHOLE. <br /> <br />The Transportation Committee Meeting adjourned at 6:53 p.m. <br /> <br />Committee Chair Approval <br /> <br /> <br />Minutes by LH, reviewed by GL <br />
