OFFICIALS SPECIAL PRESENTATION King Co. Airport Noise Master Plan TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL JOE DUFFIE; JOAN HERNANDEZ; JIM HAGGERTON, Council President; ALLAN EKBERG; STEVE MULLET; PAM CARTER; PAM LINDER.

Assistant City Administrator Rhonda Berry presented an update to the Council on the King County International Airport Noise and Master Plan. Berry explained that there are several committees working on the noise issue, however, she focused on the work being done by the Ad Hoc Noise Committee. This committee was formed in 1995 and has representation from 18 different communities including Tukwila. Nancy Lamb represents the Foster Community Club, and Rosemary Untisayer represents the Allentown/Duwamish area. The Committee serves in an advisory role to the King County Executive and the King County Council. The Master Plan is to determine the direction of the Airport over the next 20 years and is currently in progress. The Plan will analyze alternative airport futures, select from those alternatives to identify a recommendation, and establish implementation requirements to support the recommended alternative. When asked were there questions following the presentation, the Council replied they would rather schedule a separate meeting to discuss this issue at length. This would allow them to come up with appropriate comments. Councilmember Ekberg asked Nancy Lamb if she felt citizen participation had much influence on this issue. 27 Regular Meeting Minutes February 18, 1997 Page 2 Citizen comment APPOINTMENTS OF THE MAYOR CITIZEN'S COMMENTS CONSENT AGENDA w /draw (to New Business) Nancy Lamb, 4251 South 139th Street, responded that in her opinion citizen participation had very little influence. It was the consensus of the Council to have Lucy Lauterbach, Council Analyst, draft a letter suggesting that a fifth alternative be added to the Master Plan on noise reduction as opposed to simply "expansion of the activities" of the airport and forward to the next Committee of The Whole Meeting for discussion.

Ms. Kreidler stated that the program was most helpful in providing her with a loan so that she could replace her 42 year old oil furnace and hot water tank. Ms. Kreidler and her late husband, Frank purchased their home in 1957 and she plans to continue residing there.
