INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: October 9, 2018
SUBJECT: 2019 Budget Proviso for SeaTac International Airport Impact Study
ISSUE
Authorizing Mayor to Sign Interlocal Agreement (I LC) with the Cities of SeaTac, Normandy
Park, Burien, Federal Way, and Des Moines.
BACKGROUND
Staff has provided several briefings to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the
Committee of the Whole regarding a budget proviso that was included in the adopted
Washington State budget to provide $300,000 in 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 of $300,000 be provided in order for
Commerce to use the funds.
Staff from the Cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, Federal Way, Normandy Park, Burien, and Des Moines
have met to discuss the basic outline of how the local match could work. 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

DISCUSSION
The Committee of the Whole was briefed on the match framework on July 23, 2018 and
supported the proposed match by the City of Tukwila. Staff indicated that the ILA would need to
come back through Council for final authorization.
Since staff briefed the Council last there has been a major development that staff wanted to
bring to the Council's attention. Commerce has convened regular meetings of the City
Managers and staff from the Mayor's Office from the six cities outlined above. These meetings
were initially just staff from the cities and staff from Commerce. However, at the last two
meetings convened, members of the public insisted on being in the meeting. At the meeting on
August 27 Reps. Tina Orwall and Mike Pellicciotti attended the meeting and encouraged that
the working group include community members and that they be open to the public. Commerce
followed up this meeting by asking each city and the Port of Seattle to select one person to
serve as a community member for their respective agencies. Additionally, the meetings of this
group will now be open to the public. This changes the overall dynamic of the working group
and staff has concerns on the overall effectiveness of the group. It is extremely unlikely that the
initial competition due date of December 2019 will be met now.
RECCOMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the ILA between the cities of
Normandy Park, Burien, Des Moines, SeaTac, and Federal Way for the City to provide
$14,445.61 as Tukwila's per capita match for the budget proviso. Staff requests the ILA be
placed on the November 5, 2018 consent agenda.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SEATAC AND THE
WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE TO PROVIDE
LOCAL MATCHING FUNDS FOR THE SEA-TAC AIRPORT IMPACT
STUDY
This Agreement is entered into between the City of SeaTac, a municipal corporation hereinafter
referred to as "SeaTac," and the Washington State Department of Commerce, a state agency
hereinafter referred to as "Commerce," collectively referred to as the "Parties," for the purpose of
securing a commitment from SeaTac to transfer to Commerce $300,000 of local matching funds
((hereinafter referred to as "Matching Funds") for the "Sea-Tac International Airport Impacts
Study," hereinafter referred to as "the Study".
1. Background. The Washington State Legislature enacted Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 6032
during the 2018 Regular Session. Section 127(63) (hereinafter referred to as "the Proviso")
provides in part that, "$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."
2. Purpose. The Parties desire by this Agreement to secure a commitment from SeaTac to transfer
the full amount ($300,000) of the Matching Funds to allow Commerce to proceed with the Study
without delay. While the Parties acknowledge that other cities named in the Proviso (as listed in
Paragraph 4 of this Agreement) will contribute a portion of the Matching Funds, a delay in
negotiating a multi -party agreement would negatively impact Commerce's ability to complete the
Study by the intended completion date of December 1, 2019. Therefore, by this Agreement,
SeaTac accepts responsibility to transfer to Commerce the Matching Funds as detailed in the
Proviso, and by separate agreement will receive contributions from the other cities named in the
Proviso. The Parties intend that SeaTac shall serve as fiscal agent for contributions to the Study
from such other cities, with sole responsibility to collect any such funds.
3. Transfer of Local Matching Funds to Commerce. SeaTac shall transfer $300,000 to Commerce
representing the Matching Funds, through minimum installment payments on or around the
following dates: A minimum of one-third (1/3) of the Matching Funds payable at the time of
execution of this Agreement; an additional one-third (1/3) of the Matching Funds (totaling a
minimum of 2/3 of the Matching Funds) payable prior to January 15, 2019; and the remainder of
any unpaid Matching Funds payable prior to June 15, 2019. Such funds, in combination with the
State's general fund appropriation of $300,000, will be used for the purpose of financing the Study,
including Commerce's related staffing and administrative costs. Upon request, but not more

frequently than once per quarter, Commerce will provide SeaTac with an accounting of all funds
expended to complete the Study.
4. Local Participation in the Study. The Proviso directs Commerce to seek feedback on project
scoping and consultant selection from the Cities of SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, Federal
Way, and Normandy Park. The Parties acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement is intended to
limit Commerce's ability to consult with such jurisdictions.
5. Joint Roles and Responsibilities. Each Party shall be responsible for the following:
a. Assign a representative ("Representative(s)") to be responsible for all communications and billings

transfer Matching Funds in accordance with this Agreement and complete the Study prior to

and other information or materials needed for completion of the Study.
6. Study Management. Responsibility for managing the Study, including procurement and
oversight of any contracts for consultant(s), shall be the exclusive responsibility of Commerce,
except for consultation with the named Cities and other parties as directed by the Proviso.
Commerce's responsibilities include monitoring of work of the consultant in terms of content and
timeliness; coordinating with the Cities; arranging meetings; preparing and finalizing a report of
the Study and providing that report to the Legislature, etc.
7. Administration of Agreement. Supervision and administration of this Agreement shall be the
responsibility of each Parties' Representative, or his/her respective designee.
8. Duration. This Agreement shall be effective upon execution by each party and shall remain in full
force and effect through completion of the Study, or December 1, 2019, whichever occurs first.
This Agreement may be extended upon mutual agreement of the Parties.
9. Termination. Any party may withdraw from this Agreement, effective upon thirty (30) days
written notice to the other parties. If SeaTac is the withdrawing Party, SeaTac shall still be
responsible for the transfer of Matching Funds to Commerce as specified in Paragraph 3 of this
Agreement. If Commerce is the withdrawing Party, all unobligated or unspent Matching Funds

sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, marital status, or any other basis protected under state or

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
ongoi g airport operations have o 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

The study should also provide options and recommendations for mitigating any negative
impacts identified through the analysis.
The study must be delivered to the legislature by December 1, 2019.
This letter is a formal introduction and invitation. Commerce would like to begin having
discussions with you and/or your representatives about forming a committee that will develop a
final scope of work and/or be part of the process of choosing a consultant to help complete this
task by December 1, 2019.

work" among other duties tasked to the committee.
2. A new project schedule and project charter will be developed for signature by the full SSAC.
3. Subsequent meetings will be in the following format; A subcommittee comeposed of City and
Port staff representatives will develop draft work products for the full SSAC (including public
representatives) to review and help finalize.
4. The State Legislators on the SSAC will work with their colleagues in the legislature to change the
due date of the study.
The Department of Commerce (Commerce) requests that the the City and Port representatives select a
public representative for the committee as soon as possible. We will need an aggressive schedule to
complete this work. This added step in our process will likely delay our delivery date to the legislature
until sometime in the spring of 2020. We would like to reduce that delay as much as possible by filling
the public representative positions and meeting again as soon as practicable.
Please contact me at Commerce (gary.idleburg(c-commerce.wa.gov) or by phone 360.725.3045 if you
have questions or need assistance. Thank you for your participation and cooperation.

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.
Committee of the Whole
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:
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.
1 The fiscal year for the State began on July 1, 2018.

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.
DISCUSSION
Tukwila's impact from Sea-Tac Airport are much different than the other five cities. While
Tukwila has some minor impacts from noise and odor, the City does not have the same

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.
