RES 18-735 - Expressing Support for State Budget ProvisoRESOLUTION 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.
