Mayor Rants opened the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. Bob Olander, Des Moines Asst. Manager asked Council to consider continuing support of the Airport Communities Coalition (ACC) along with the cities of Des Moines, Burien, Highline and Highline School District. Olander explained that the issue of the third runway probably would not be solved in 1995 but there would be a number of environmental issues next year. The Port of Seattle/FAA prepared EIS will be coming out sometime in the fall. The document will be voluminous, technical and complicated. To critically comment on the EIS and examine all the impacts on the communities will require the participation of all the ACC cities. In 1995 the ACC will continue working on unresolved issues with the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). PSRC has looked at the 6' Li Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting November 21, 1994 Page 3 Public Hearing (con't) issue of a major supplemental airport. In 1995 PSRC and an expert panel will be looking at demand and system management and noise reduction mitigation for the existing airport. Olander said representatives of the ACC member cities need to take part in this project to help reduce the noise impacts from SeaTac airport to the neighboring cities. Olander said that with the shift from the PSRC we expect that a lot of the policy area will now be focusing on the state legislature since the PSRC could not find possible supplemental sites for our region. The ACC will be heavily involved with the state legislators and proposing legislation to have the state look at supplemental air field within the Puget Sound region or perhaps even a broader view to help supplement what we need for our local region. The residents in South King County suffer some of the heaviest impacts not just from SeaTac airport, but from Boeing Field (Seattle), one of the heaviest aviation -use fields in the area, and Boeing Field (Renton). The group will also continue to work with the King County Council and seeing if the King County Council can support our efforts in South King County. The ACC feels that both King County and South King County have taken more than their fair share. It's time for King County to be involved. Another project will be for the group to work with Congressman Randy Tate to see what can be done at the federal level to share more fairly the burden of air transportation throughout our region not just in South King County. The group will be working with other cities that may be impacted, Federal Way and Mercer Island. ACC has budgeted a fair amount of money in 1995 for environmental consulting review, not just to look at the EIS, but to work with the various agencies and look at the potential impacts of a third runway. Olander stated that Mayors and Councilmembers on the ACC Board have been amenable to allocating some of the ACC workplan so that the impacts of Boeing Field, ground transportation, air transportation, air quality, and noise are studied as well. The group recognizes that Boeing Field has a very heavy impact on Tukwila. Olander said the ACC Executive Board has adopted a budget of $725,000, including contingencies and reserves, for 1995. (Copy of 1995 summary budget was distributed.) Des Moines, Burien, and Normandy Park will be contributing $200,000+ each. Olander explained that his salary, three quarters of a planner's salary, and some additional funds are also donated. Tukwila is being asked to contribute $100,000 for 1995. The Highline School District has Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting November 21, 1994 Page 4 Public Hearing (con't) approved a contribution of $25,000. Tukwila Councilmember Steve Mullet's membership on the Executive Board makes the City a full voting member of ACC regardless of whether the level of contribution is $100,000 or $200,000. In summary, Olander urged Council's favorable participation in the ACC for 1995. Matt Rosenberg, Executive Director, Regional Commission on Airport Affairs, explained the RCAA goes out into the community and try and work with residents, respond to their concerns, and build upon their energy and concerns in relation to jet noise issues, the third runway at SeaTac, and in relation to the very strong desire for economic development for the region and state in terms of advocating a new airport. Rosenberg said that Tukwila is a key member and supporter of the RCAA. He asked for Council's continued support and funding for 1995. (Rosenberg distributed a budget memo with supplemental request.) Rosenberg explained that the base budget of $100,000 is based on $20,000 per each City. A supplemental request for an additional $5000 -8000 would provide funding for items such as communications and community relations, and things that pertain directly to Tukwila. Rosenberg provided a copy of an updated summary of services provided by RCAA during 1994 such as: Speeches, community outreach and information tables, watchdog and advocacy services, leaflets and news items, media relations and public information, noise monitoring (Boeing Field and SeaTac), and King County airport issues. Rosenberg concluded that Tukwila's participation in RCAA is quite important. The more the cities stand together, the stronger the organization can be on SeaTac issues, Boeing Field issues, and state issues related to airport siting. The expenses provided in funding to RCAA and ACC pale in comparison to the amount being spent by the pro- runway forces. For an example, using the Port of Seattle contracts strictly for aviation communications and /or airport expansion consulting, the amount has risen from $88,000 in 1990 to $4.2 million in 1994. RCAA feels they are giving the expansion proponents a legitimate run for their money based on the idea that yes, the airport is very important to the economy, but residents do have a right to maintain a decent quality of life in their communities. The more people that pull together in Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting November 21, 1994 Page 5 Public Hearing (con't) Council questions Opponent Presentation Citizen Comment Tukwila, other southend communities, and Seattle, the better chance they have to be heard. Councilmember Craft asked how long the City would have to comment on the EIS. Bob Olander responded that the normal time FAA allows is 45 days; however, ACC was granted an addition 15 days, a total of 60 days. Craft asked if the City would be allowed to help establish a work plan if they contributed to both ACC and RCAA. Matt Rosenberg explained that with the ACC, the Executive Board approves the budget. Once they approve the budget, the Executive Director, along with his staff, submits a detailed work plan to the Executive Board and the Executive Board approves the workplans. There are two levels of review where Tukwila would be involved. One, as an advisory committee, made up of city managers and city administrators, who would review the ACC workplans. After the workplan was approved by the technical group of city administrators and city managers, it would go to the Executive Board. The City's representative on the Board is Steve Mullet who is a full voting member. This is another level where the City would have a chance to influence the workplan. Olander said he would always be available to meet informally with city staff or councilmembers to get their input. Matt Rosenberg added that the RCAA operates in much the same way. RCAA would also offer the City the opportunity to comment on their workplan prior to its final approval. None Ed Bauch, 16603 33rd Ave. S., spoke on behalf of funding both the ACC and the RCAA. Bauch said he felt the airport issues were as important to the quality of life in Tukwila as residential streets, sidewalks, street lights, police and fire departments. Noise is important too, but it will be resolved by technology. Bauch said the City already has an intolerable traffic problem, but it will get worse with the addition of another runway at SeaTac. Bauch urged Council to support both budgets so that the Port of Seattle, who has no interest in Tukwila, would be stopped. Travis Robertson, 16038 48th Ave. S., commented that when he returned from school for a weekend at home, the increase in air traffic noise was very apparent. Robertson noted that last year he was not able to hear SeaTac airport noise or Boeing Field noise; '7 Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting November 21, 1994 Page 6 Public Hearing (con't) however, now he can. Crestview is also impacted by the noise. Robertson urged Tukwila officials to fund both organizations. Steve Lawrence, former Tukwila councilmember, supported funding of $200,000 for ACC and said he didn't think Tukwila should take a back seat to any of its neighboring cities in fighting the runway. The strength of any community is its neighborhoods. Tukwila currently has approximately 5,000 people living in neighborhoods where not too many will want to stay for any long term in the future if things get any worse. Air pollution is another problem caused by air traffic. Tukwila is downwind from the millions of pounds of fuel that is put in the air through the course of a year. Residents breathe it. There are neighborhoods in the city where you can smell the fuel on certain days. Lawrence urged Council to fund ACC at $200,000 and RCAA at $28,000 and stand up for Tukwila's quality of life. Len Epser, 20724 8th Ave. S., Des Moines, member of the RCAA Board. Epser said he'd been active in the runway issue for a long time as a volunteer. He expressed the need for neighboring communities to let the airport proponents know that the quality of life here is as important to their residents as they seem to hear from other communities. Epser implored Council to support ACC and RCAA and thanked them for their past support. Al Pieper, 17083 53rd Ave. S. said he was neither for or against the third runway, but was interested in where taxpayer's dollars are spent. Pieper stated he had not come across any public information that explains where or how or by whom these tax dollars would be spent. Pieper said as a taxpayer, he doesn't want his taxes spent for something that he has no way of knowing what it will be used for or what the outcome will be. He suggested the City use private funds donated by those opposing the runway, rather than use everyone's tax dollars. Pieper asked that Council also think about the positive economic impact the airport has on the community and how the City's quality of life would be affected if it were not there. In conclusion, Pieper reminded Council that there are those in the community that have a different point of view on the airport issue. Wendy Morgan, 15144 65th Ave S., encouraged Council to continue funding both the ACC and the RCAA. Morgan said she Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting November 21, 1994 Page 7 Public Hearing (con't) felt it extremely important the City be part of cooperative efforts. Working alone these days its questionable whether anything can be accomplished. Cooperative efforts are the only way to go for regional transportation issues. Morgan stated she has grave concerns that the search for an alternative site for the airport continue. A delay could cause even greater damage to the area because it's unknown what kind of expansion could be proposed beyond the current third runway issue. She suggested educating regions statewide on the economic advantages of having a major regional transportation facility in their area. Morgan stressed the importance of continuing to work with the state legislature. The ACC works with the legislature on transportation issues; the City does not have its own lobbyist. The Port of Seattle must also be held more accountable. Port Commissioners are directly elected by the public, but Morgan said she felt the accountability is not a direct voice to the public. She questioned the Port's position in not being interested in regional airport located somewhere else, because it wouldn't be under their control. In conclusion, Morgan encouraged Council to continue its membership in both organizations. Joan Meryhew, 4431 S. 148th, offered comments for herself and Marion Henning, 4447, S. 148th, urged continued funding to both ACC and RCAA. She concurred with the previous speakers and added that no amount of money could compensate her or her community for the noise and pollution and lower property values. Meryhew stated that the whole airport issue needs to be studied and shared by all existing airports. The revving of jet engines, which causes the windows to rattle, seems to have increased during early morning hours. Other cities throughout the country are not allowing airports to be expanded or built within their areas, so we're not the only place that's fighting this type of issue. The Port wants their opponents to give up so they can win and make residents pay for it. Meryhew urged surrounding cities to support each other because by banding together, they have more power. Vern Meryhew, 4431 S. 148th, urged full support of ACC at $200,000 and $28,000 to RCAA. Speaking about air pollution, Meryhew said the deck on his house was originally painted white. Airplane fuel falling from jet engines made it discolor forcing him to paint it brown. Meryhew urged proponents to continue fighting the expansion. 5 el Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting November 21, 1994 Page 8 Public HearinE (con't) Hearing Closed Council Discussion: Jackie Dempere, 4033 S. 128th, said she felt the City itself was making progress in many areas, but the runway would be a setback. Tukwila needs to show its support to their neighboring cities. Airplane traffic and noise have increased. Dempere said that a lot of affordable housing would be lost if the third runway is built. She supported the funding. Mayor Rants closed the hearing at 8:22 p.m. Council recognized the following documents submitted as part of the record: *Letter from Pat Carter, 4115 S. 139th St. stating her support of funding the RCAA and the ACC. *Informational packet from Paul Willoughby *Letter from Minnie Brasher, 846 S. 136th St., Burien, supporting continued funding of ACC/RCAA Councilmember DeRodas announced she received a phone call from Nancy Lamb in support of continued funding to fight the third runway. MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY EKBERG, TO SUPPORT RCAA AT $28,000 FUNDING LEVEL.* Councilmember Craft said that in the past the City funded the ACC and RCAA based on what they asked for. However, if the City plans to look at additional funding, it needs to take a more active role than in the past. Mayor Rants stated he would want to see a workplan for RCAA that would include noise mitigation, flight hours, closure times, Phase III aircraft, etc. Rants suggested a meeting with King County Council, Tukwila Council, and airport management to begin discussing what things could be changed. Councilmember Robertson said he felt it would be more appropriate for the ACC to be involved rather than the RCAA since the City has a voting role on the Executive Board. Councilmember Hernandez spoke in favor of the motion, stating she felt it important that the City maintain its membership in both the RCAA and the ACC. She is most concerned about commuter traffic being diverted to Boeing Field and increases in air cargo Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting November 21, 1994 Page 9 Public Hearing (con't) traffic. Hernandez said she thinks the City needs an organization such as the RCAA and ACC to monitor the Port of Seattle activities. She is pleased with the progress that's been made with regard to installing insulation at Cascade Elementary. Councilmember Duffie asked how the third runway could be stopped if it's already been started. Council President Mullet explained that that is what this year's fight is all about. The EIS is being prepared, but it doesn't mean that it will be accepted. If it is not accepted, the third runway will not be built. This is where the cities have the opportunity to review the EIS, to legally look at this problem and review it. If they come up with the right answers, the third runway will not be a done deal. Mayor Rants commented that in the past he has been very reluctant to spend the taxpayer's money on this issue. But, as a member of the PSRC Transportation Policy Board, he held great hope that sooner or later a supplemental airport would take care of the problem. However, while attending a meeting of the Transportation Policy Board and the Growth Management Policy Board, he had an opportunity to review the eight alternative airport sites. Rants said the longer he sat at the table the more angry he became because of the chants, "no airport here "no SeaTac here "we don't want your pollution The southend residents already have it and they don't want it either. Rants said the problems must be shared, and because of these comments, he's a much more willing player now than in the last two years. Councilmember Hernandez suggested that if Council approves full funding of both the ACC and RCAA, the City attempt to strengthen the agreement to include more monitoring of Boeing Field air traffic, and more support in the efforts to prevent more expansion of air traffic at Boeing Field. Hernandez also requested that the membership of RCAA and ACC take part in the Duwamish Coalition meetings. Councilmember Craft said she has not been in favor of an airport expansion and questions what is the proper thing for us to do to stop it. Craft proposed that Vision Tukwila meetings be held to gather input from citizens on the problems and focus on the problems for this City. 51/ Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting November 21, 1994 Page 10 Public Hearing (con't) Funding for ACC Recess 8:51 p.m. Back to Order OLD BUSINESS Res. #1310 Amending Human Svs. Budget Process *MOTION CARRIED WITH DUFFIE VOTING NO.

Program descriptions and goals were also reviewed. Also discussed were the recommended changes to the Six Year Proposed Capital Improvement Plan Discussions concluded promptly at 10:30 p.m. Councilmember Ekberg distributed copies of a potential residential street program for Council's review during the next week. Mayor Rants, as a member of the Metro Transit Committee for Suburban Cities, asked Councilmembers if they had any recommendations they wanted him to pass on to the King County Council regarding whether or not they should support the Rapid Transit Authority. Councilmember Robertson said that SKATBD will most likely pass a resolution supporting RTA with reservations regarding the lack of east/west and I -405 corridor link for light rail and for the connection of light rail and heavy rail. Rants opined that there are some advantages in a regional rail system and some workable things that can be done to continue to move forward. Councilmember Hernandez felt an at -grade level rail system on Highway 99 would be divisive to the community. She favored staying in and working to convince people that what is proposed is a mistake. Council President Mullet said he could support the commuter rail, but he could not in any way support the rapid transit concept. Councilmember Robertson agreed that for Tukwila the commuter rail and buses look fine, but the light rail doesn't meet the southend's needs for east/west or I -405 corridor travelers. Councilmembers Ekberg, Craft, and DeRodas acknowledged their agreement. MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY CRAFT, TO ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR 15 MINUTES TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL MATTERS.
