BACKGROUND On February 26, 2018 Committee of the Whole was briefed on a proposed budget proviso pending with the Washington State Legislature. The proviso would provide funding for the Washington State Department of Commerce to study the impacts of SeaTac International Airport on adjacent communities. The final adopted budget proviso language as amended is as follows: (63)(a) $300,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019 and $300, 000 of the general fund—local appropriation are provided solely for the department to contract with a consultant to study the current and ongoing impacts of the SeaTac International airport. The general fund—state funding provided in this subsection serves as a state match and may not be spent unless $300,000 of local matching funds is transferred to the department. The department must seek feedback on project scoping and consultant selection from the cities listed in (b) of this subsection. (b) The study must include, but not be limited to: (i) The impacts that the current and ongoing airport operations have on quality of life associated with air traffic noise, public health, traffic, congestion, and parking in residential areas, pedestrian access to and around the airport, public safety and crime within the cities, effects on residential and nonresidential property values, and economic development opportunities, in the cities of Sea Tac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and other impacted neighborhoods; and (ii) Options and recommendations for mitigating any negative impacts identified through the analysis. (c) The department must collect data and relevant information from various sources including the port of Seattle, listed cities and communities, and other studies. (d) The study must be delivered to the legislature by December 1, 2019. 67 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 Following the adoption of the budget, the Chairs of the State House Appropriations Committee and the State Senate Ways and Means Committee sent a letter to the Department of Commerce with refined language (see attached). It was noted that the language came too late to be included in the final draft of the State budget. The main modification was that Commerce was also directed to look at the benefits of SeaTac International Airport on surrounding cities as a result of proximity to the airport. The options section was also expanded to include a discussion regarding "bolstering potential benefits." Per the Department of Commerce, the adopted budget language governs, but the letter provides good guidance on the legislative intent of the proviso. The City of SeaTac's budget includes $250,000 for an "Airport Impact Analysis Project." No other city listed in the proviso has formally committed funds for the local match of the study. Since final adoption provision, the City of Tukwila has not yet received a formal request to provide a portion of the local match for the study. It's also unclear if this request would come from the Department of Commerce, the City of SeaTac, or some other entity. DISCUSSION Staff recommends this item remain in committee until additional information is obtained, specifically a formal request to provide matching funds. It is still unclear how this match will be allocated, based on proximity to the Airport, population, etc. As part of any request for a match, staff would like to also understand the scope of the project, both issues being examined, as well as the geographical scope. The impacts of SeaTac Airport, both positive and negative, to the City of Tukwila differ than those cities immediately adjacent to the Airport or those cities under the approach paths of the Airport. There has also been some discussion if the total amount of the study, $600,000 ($300,000 State and $300,000 local match) is sufficient to adequately examine the various impacts associated with the Airport. RECOMMENDATION Information Only. Staff suggests the item remain in committee until additional information is obtained.

Siefkes Deputy Mayor Erin Sitterley Councilmembers Rick Forschler Joel Wachtel Peter Kwon Pam Fernald Clyde Hill City Manager Joseph Scorcio City Attorney Mary Mirante Bartolo City Clerk Kristina Gregg February 12, 2018 The Honorable Allan Ekberg Mayor, City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Blvd Tukwila, WA 98188 Dear Mayor: As we discussed, we are asking the City of Tukwila's active support of the 2018 Supplemental Budget proviso request to the State legislature to help fund a comprehensive study of the current and ongoing impacts of the airport. The goal of this effort is to establish a point -in -time baseline of the airport's positive and negative impacts to our communities and help communicate those impacts to our residents and other interested parties. It will also help provide objective measurements for all of our communities with the anticipated growth at Sea -Tac Airport. The proviso request is for $500,000 which must be matched by an equal amount split between the cities of Burien, Des Moises, Federal Way, Normandy Park, SeaTac and Tukwila. We have budgeted $250,000 toward this effort and are hoping that our partner cities will jointly fund the balance of $250,000. These funds do not need to be formally committed and budgeted at this time but would be a requirement of the proviso prior to work being done on the study. The State's Department of Commerce would select the consultant and manage the study. I have attached the one-page overview of the proviso and the suggested proviso language. The study has been well-received thus far by the legislature and based on discussions with our neighbors, indications are that Burien, Federal Way, Des Moines and Normandy Park are generally supportive of the proviso and are also considering active support. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your consideration of this important request. I Sincerely, Jd"seph Scordio, AICP `r City Manager I Cc: City Council Enclosure 69 I'recc�%;y y The City of SeaTac 2018 Supplemental Operating Budget Proviso Request: Airport Impact Study More than 20 years have passed since the last airport study was completed • As the host to Washington State's largest international airport, the City of SeaTac is proud to welcome the many travelers entering and leaving our state. As the SeaTac International Airport expands, SeaTac International Airport surrounding communities request funding to continue to be a strong, welcoming community. • Twenty years ago, when the third runway was in its planning stages, the State conducted the Sea -Tac International Airport Impact Mitigation Study, which found that "costs associated with these [airport] improvements are disproportionately borne by those communities immediately surrounding the airport." • The purpose of the study is to establish a point -in -time baseline of both positive and negative community and economic impacts and provide objective data to communicate this information to the residents of the cities and other interested parties. Now is the time for an update to the study • The Sea -Tac International Airport is the 6th fastest growing airport in the world. • It's the 9th busiest airport in the United States (2014). • Passenger levels increased approximately 13% from 2014. • On-site activity of the airport supports 32,000 jobs. • In 2013, $565 million in state and local tax revenue was generated. • The Port of Seattle's Sustainable Airport Master Plan envisions further expansion of the airport in the coming years. City Investment • The City of SeaTac has allocated $250,000 in local funds to updating the study and is working with neighboring cities to gather additional community support. Budget Proviso Language $500,000 of the general fund — state appropriation for fiscal year 2019 - is provided solely as a state match for distribution to the Department of Commerce to select a consultant to conduct an analysis of current and ongoing community and economic impacts of the Sea -Tac International Airport not otherwise covered by current airport related studies. The study shall be delivered to the legislature by December 1, 2019. The Department shall seek feedback on project scoping and consultant selection from the cities listed below. 71 The analysis will include, but not be limited to the impacts that current and ongoing airport operations have on quality of life associated with air-traffic noise, public health, traffic, congestion, and parking in residential areas, pedestrian access to and around the airport, public safety and crime within the cities, effects on residential and non-residential property values, and economic development opportunities in the cities of SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way and Normandy Park. The Department will coordinate with the Port of Seattle and other entities to collect data on topics identified by the study, utilizing existing data where available. The study will include recommendation and options for mitigating any negative impacts identified through the analysis. The Department shall not spend the appropriation unless $500,000 in local matching funds is transferred to the Department. The City of SeaTac will serve as the fiscal agent for any local matching funds and remit to the Department upon receipt of invoices for work completed. 73 February 14, 2018 fe/fthe4o, ADMINISTRATION 21630 11TH AVENUE SOUTH, SUITE A DES MOINES, WASHINGTON 98108.5308 (206) 5784595 T.D.D.: (208) 8246024 FAX: (205) 870.8500 Representative Timm Ormsby Chair, House Appropriations Committee 315 John L. O'Brien Building Olympia, Washington 98504 Dear Chair Ormsby, The City of Des Moines wishes to express our support for a budget proviso appropriation of $500,000 for fiscal year 2019 as a state match for the Department of Commerce to select a consultant to conduct an analysis of current and ongoing community and economic impacts of Sea -Tac International Airport aircraft operations. The City of Des Moines is one of several cities adjacent to the airport that received disproportionate negative impacts from airport operations. This proviso is a high priority for our cities. As Sea -Tac moves forward with significant planned expansion, it critical to assess impacts on our cities resulting from that growth. This State effort will help document the issues of noise and volume of air traffic, as well as other community health impacts. Sea -Tac is the 9th busiest airport in the United States and is the 6th fastest growing airport in the world. Yet Sea -Tac faces spatial constraints to growth resulting in more intense direct impacts to those cities in proximity to the airport. We recognize the economic value to our region of airport operations, at the same time we face disproportionate negative impacts — of noise and air quality. • The goal of this study is to establish a point -in -time baseline of the Airport's positive and negative impacts to our communities and to help communicate those impacts to our residents and other interested parties. • It will also help provide objective measurements for all of our communities as we address continued growth at Sea -Tac Airport. Having a valid baseline will allow all parties a greater degree of accountability in future discussions. '%lse Waters id eerey Representative Timm Ormsby February 14, 2018 Page Two • The study is not tied to the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) or its immediate environmental documents, but will be very important when the project specific analyses are undertaken with future Airport projects (always need a baseline to measure change). • Having the State conduct this study (as they did in 1997) will provide a neutral and balanced approach and assure greater confidence in the final product and its future use by all parties.

Unfortunately, there was not time to include the updated language. We respectfully ask the Department of Commerce to implement the provisions of Section 127(63) of ESSB 6032 using the following language: (63) (a) $300,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for fiscal year 2019 and $300,000 of the general fund—local appropriation are provided solely for the department to contract with a consultant to study the current and ongoing impacts of the Seattle -Tacoma international airport.

(c) The study scope must include, but not be limited to: (1) The impacts that the current and ongoing airport operations have air traffic noise, public health, traffic, congestion, and parking in residential areas, effects on residential and nonresidential property values, and economic development opportunities, in the cities of SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way, Normandy Park; (ii) The benefits to the same cities referenced in (c)(i) derived due to proximity to the airport, including wages and taxes from airport -related operations, property tax derived from commercial development directly tied to airport -related operations, and improved access to transit resulting from proximity to the airport; and 83 Oil) Options and recommendations for mitigating any negative impacts, or bolstering potential benefits identified through the analysis, including what role the state plays in addressing impacts and benefits.

(e) The study must be delivered to the legislature by December 1, 2019. Additionally, it is our intent that the $300,000 of local matching funds need not be received prior to beginning the contracting process for the study and instead may be received, and deposited as local revenue, as costs to the Department are incurred. We intend to amend the 2017-19 Operating Budget next session to incorporate the updated language, but do not wish to delay the study and we encourage the Department to implement the study with the adjustments noted in this letter. If you have further questions, please let us know, or contact our operating budget staff.
