CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: July 17, 2018
SUBJECT: 2019 Budget Proviso for SeaTac International Airport Impact Study
ISSUE
Update on 2019 Budget Proviso for SeaTac International Airport Impact Study.
BACKGROUND
On February 26, 2018 Committee of the Whole was briefed on a proposed budget proviso
pending with the Washington State Legislature. The proviso was included in the final adopted
budget for the State. The proviso would provide funding for the Washington State Department
of Commerce ("Commerce") to study the impacts of Sea -Tac Airport on surrounding
communities. The proviso requires that a local match be provided in order for Commerce to use
the funds. The City's Transportation and Infrastructure Committee discussed the proviso at four
of its meeting to discuss if the City should provide funds for the local match requirement.
The final adopted budget proviso language, as amended, is as follows:
(63)(a) $ 300,000 of the general fund -state appropriation for fiscal year 20191 and 300,000 of
the general funds -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 SeaTac, Burien, Des
Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and other impacted
neighborhoods; and
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.
1 The fiscal year for the State began on July 1, 2018.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO

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 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 Commerce, the adopted budget language governs, but the
letter provides good guidance on the legislative intent of the proviso.
The Cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, Federal Way, Normandy Park, Burien, and Des Moines have
been meeting to discuss providing the local match. The City of SeaTac is prepared to provide
$150,000 for the local match, provided the other five cities contribute the remaining $150,000.
The table below shows fund allocation for the remaining five cities based on a per capita
formula. Tukwila's contribution would be $14,445.61

Staff from the six cities supports the allocation of the match as outlined in the table above. City
Councils from the other cities may need to approve the final contribution. With the local match
and the State Funds, the total amount of funds available is $600,000. There is some initial
concern that these funds may be insufficient to complete an in-depth study. Commerce has
already indicated they study would like to be survey of existing studies and data already
available and that it's unlikely that new primary research will be completed. The City of SeaTac
has indicated it may be willing to contribute an additional $100,000 to expand the scope of the
study.

significant impact as the other cities that are directly below the takeoff and landing approaches.
Tukwila is impacted by traffic, land use patterns, and impacts to public services.
A recent study by the Port of Seattle estimates that Sea -Tac Airport contributes $742 million in
economic activity within the City, providing over 5,000 jobs. Participation in the budget proviso
study will also identify the positive impacts the Airport has on the City and will assist the City in
how to better leverage our relationship with the Port to benefit the City's community members.
RECCOMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City provide $14,445.61 as Tukwila's per capita match for the budget
proviso.

RE: Study on the current and on-going impacts of the Seattle -Tacoma International Airport -
The implementation of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill (ESSB) 6032 -Section 127(63).
Dear Mr. Miles:
The Washington State Legislature formally asked the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to
begin a study that evaluates the on-going impacts of the Seattle -Tacoma International Airport.
The study has the following parameters:
• $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 Commerce to contract with a
consultant to study the current and ongoing impacts of the SeaTac International Airport.
State funding provided in this serves as a state match and may not be spent unless $300,000
of local matching funds is transferred to Commerce.
• Commerce must seek input on project scoping and consultant selection from the cities of
SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal Way and Normandy Park and the Port of
Seattle plus members of the legislature.
• Commerce must collect data and relevant information from various sources including the
Port of Seattle, the listed cities and communities (above), and other studies.
• The study must include, but not be limited to, an analysis of the impacts that the current and
ongoing airport operations have on quality of life. These impacts are associated with air
traffic noise, public health, traffic, congestion, 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
255

RE: Study on the current and ongoing impacts of the Seattle -Tacoma International Airport in ESSB
6032 - Section 127 (63)
Dear Director Bonlender:
Late in the legislative session, we received refined language related to the airport impact study
referenced in Section 127(63) of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill (ESSB) 6032. 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. 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.
(b) The final study scope shall be developed by the department, in consultation with
organizations or entities including members of the legislature, the port of Seattle, and the
cities listed in subsection (c)(1).
(c) The study scope must include, but not be limited to:
(i) 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)(1) 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
260
(111) 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.
(d) The department must collect data and relevant information from various sources
including the port of Seattle, listed cities and communities, regional planning agencies, and
other studies.
(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.

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 Moiies, 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.
Sincerely,

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.
264
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.

_ASA A
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, itis 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 neaative 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.

• The study is not tied to the Sustainable Airport MasterPlan (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.

RESOLUTION NO. 18-735
A RESOLUTION of the City of Federal Way, Washington, expressing
support for a state budget proviso appropriation for fiscal year 2019 to
fund an analysis of current and ongoing impacts associated with Sea -Tac
International Airport aircraft operations on surrounding airport
communities and their residents
WHEREAS, Sea -Tac International Airport is the 9th busiest airport in the United States and
the 6th fastest growing airport in the world; and
WHEREAS, Sea -Tac is currently planning significant expansion to meet demand, but faces
spatial constraints to growth that result in more intense direct impacts to those cities in proximity to
the airport; and
WHEREAS, the City of Federal Way is one of several cities located near Sea -Tac
International Airport that are disproportionately impacted by airport operations through increased
noise and air quality impacts; and
WHEREAS, it is critical to assess these impacts to the cities negatively affected by increased
airport operations, and having objective measurements for all communities impacted by airport
operations will allow all parties a greater degree of accountability in future discussions; and
WHEREAS, the fiscal year 2019 operating budgets passed by both the State Senate and the
State House currently contain a proviso that would provide a state match from the general fund for
the Department of Commerce to select a consultant to conduct an analysis of current and ongoing
impacts associated with Sea -Tac International Airport aircraft operations on surrounding airport
communities and their residents.
