INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, AIRPORT COMMUNITIES COALITION
~ ,010100 -123100
In accordance with the Interlocal Cooperation Act (Revised Code of'
Washington, Chapter 39.34) the City of Normandy Park, the City of Des Moines, the
City of Burien, the City of Federal Way, the City of Tukwila, and the Highline School
District (hereafter the "Parties"), each of which is a Washington Municipal Corporation
hereby enter into the Agreement set forth.
RECITALS
1. The presence and operations of Sea-Tac Airport affect fundamental
economic, social, physical and environmental characteristics of each Party.
2. The Parties believe that the presence of Sea-Tac Airport and other
regional transportation facilities such as Interstates 5 and 405 and State Routes 509
and 518 and eventually a regional transportation rail line can have either negative or
positive effects on the members depending on the manner in which adverse impacts
are addressed.
3. The Parties hereto have expressed their opposition to the
development of a third runway, and other system improvements leading to increased air
traffic at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Boeing Field.
..
...
4. The Parties further believe that regional public transportation needs
must be resolved on a regional basis and that only equitable solutions to those needs
should be adopted. Additional air traffic at Seattle Tacoma International Airport and
Boeing Field does not constitute equitable or responsible regional solutions. Equitable
solutions are those which recognize that the impacts and the benefits of transportation
projects are often not realized in the same community, therefore necessitating an
attempt to equalize that disparity among affected communities.
5. The Parties believe that a collective effort, including the pooling of
resources and the execution of this Agreement to express and administer policy
matters, is the most effective and expeditious method of achieving the goals stated
herein.

County, at both Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and at Boeing Field, to a specific
level and to eliminate night flights from 10:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
D. To limit expansion of airport facilities in King County, at
both Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and at Boeing Field, in order to prevent a
significant increase in the number of flight operations which is likely to have substantial,
adverse environmental impacts.
. E. To seek revisions to the Four Post Plan which
accommodate community concerns about overflights, including those which produce
noise in areas outside the 65 dB DNL contour.
F. To develop and promote equitable solutions to regional
transportation needs on a regional basis, working to develop mutoally beneficial
partnerships and agreements that promote economic development and protect the
environment.
.. . G. To improve abatement and mitigation of airport impacts on
the Highrtne School District and member cities to this agreement.
H. To ensure that all past impacts from operations at Sea-Tac
Airport and Boeing Field are fully mitigated. To. support fair distribution among ACC
members of public dollars for the mitigation of impacts from operations of Sea-Tac
Airport and Boeing Field.
I. To participate in efforts to plan effectively, site
appropriately and fully mitigate any regional surface transportation projects including
RTA and extensions or improvements to State Routes 509 and 518, and 1-5 and 1-405.
J. To create an economic, political and social climate in which
the parties can realize meaningful benefits from being neighbors of Sea-Tac Airport and
2
Boeing Field and other regional surface transportation facilities which are consistent
with the community objectives of these parties.
j
K. Such other and further related goals as may be determined
by the Executive Committee.
