I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Consultant Agreement: Water Reservoir& Pump Station
Staff is seeking Council approval of an agreement with Carollo Engineers in the amount of
$46,070.00 for completion of the Water Reservoir and Pump Station Study. Carollo was hired
in November 2017 to study the possibility of Tukwila using extra capacity in Highline Water
District's Crestview Reservoir instead of building a new reservoir to be compliant with state
storage requirements. Carollo needs additional time to compete the study, and this new
agreement will have no financial impact to the design budget as it will use remaining funds.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 16, 2018 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.

$630,000 for their design of utility relocation associated with the Strander Boulevard Extension

F. SeaTac International Airport Impact Study Budget Proviso
Staff update the Committee on the status of the 2019 Budget Proviso for the SeaTac
International Airport Impact Study. The final adopted proviso language provides $300,000 for
the Washington State Department of Commerce to study the impacts of SeaTac Airport on the
cities of SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and other
impacted neighborhoods. These funds will serve as a state match and may not be spent unless
$300,000 of local matching funds is contributed. The study must be delivered by December 1,
2019. The City of SeaTac has budgeted $250,000 for an airport impact analysis project, but no
other city listed in the proviso has formally committed funds to the required local match, nor
has Tukwila received a formal request to do so from either the Department of Commerce, the
City of SeaTac, or another entity. The Port of Seattle is also going to undertake SEPA and NEPA
studies as part of its Sustainable Airport Master Plan, which will consider future impacts as well
as mitigation. The Committee agreed with staffs recommendation to keep this item in
Committee until additional information is obtained, with Chair McLeod noting there are
several ambiguities. RETURN TO COMMITTEE.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
Agenda Approval Process
Chair McLeod stated that this is a productive and effective Committee that intends to accomplish a
lot in 2019. He noted that many agenda items are added by staff due to the timing of capital projects,
and as Chair he receives a draft agenda when it is almost too late to add items. Staff mentioned the
Committee work plan which captures both staff and Council items, and Councilmember Quinn
suggested that the Committee check-in on the work plan on a monthly basis. Staff will begin
including the work plan in the packet for the first meeting of every month.
