Staff provided a funding update on the Strander Boulevard Extension Phase 3 Project. Now that design is at 30%, the cost estimate for the project has been increased to $70 million, with construction alone increasing to $45 million from $39 million. Design is fully funded, but if the City were to halt design at this point, $589,426 already received in PSRC grant funding would need to be reimbursed. If the City does not proceed with construction after the design is fully complete, the City would need to pay back $5.1 million within 10 years, and $10.1 million in awarded construction funds would need to be relinquished. City Administration will be working with state lobbyist on a strategy for including the project in a statewide transportation package. Committee members expressed support for continuing the design process but agreed that additional grant seeking should be put on hold due to concerns about how to fund the $30 million budget gap. Councilmember Quinn stated that the City needs to position itself appropriately with regard to funding opportunities as there are limited regional funding sources for transportation projects. Councilmember Idan agreed that design should continue. Chair McLeod stated that the entire Council needs to be briefed on this in the near future. DISCUSSION ONLY.

The final costs will be adjusted to reflect actual costs incurred during construction although the ratio will remain 60/40.

The City is currently understaffed to keep up on inspections associated with utility cuts throughout the City. DISCUSSION ONLY. 2018 Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Work Plan H. Committee members discussed the 2018 Work Plan, focusing on a future discussion item on traffic calming via stop signs and crosswalks.

DISCUSSION ONLY. 2019 Budget Proviso for SeaTac International Airport Impact Study I. Staff updated 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, not to be spent unless $300,000 of local matching funds is committed. Since the Committee was last briefed on April 9, staff has continued to monitor this issue. There is still no scope of work for the study, and the other cities (not including SeaTac) have yet to commit funding. Other developments include the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act of 2018 passed by the House on April 13, including an amendment to include the Seattle area in a study on the health impacts of overflight noise and another amendment to study infrastructure needs of fast-growing airports. The Puget Sound Regional Council has started work on developing a Regional Baseline Study including airport impacts on surrounding communities, and a final scope is expected in June. Staff participated in a meeting with the cities listed in the proviso, and the City of SeaTac is now suggesting that cities contribute more than the collective $300,000 match. The Committee asked to be briefed again when significant new information is learned by staff. RETURN TO COMMITTEE.
