STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE MOTION
24
An Aviation Special Committee was originally chartered by the Port of Seattle Commission on
25
March 13, 2018. With the passage of the committee’s first year of activity, staff recommends
26
revision of the committee charter to clarify technical elements and to re-focus the scope of the
27
committee’s work. The 2018 Aviation Committee focused its oversight function on the
28
International Arrivals Facility (IAF). On September 25, 2018, the Commission passed a motion
29
creating an Executive Review Panel comprised of experienced construction management
30
professionals to review the execution and supervision of the IAF program. The resulting change in
31
leadership on the project and other significant changes have recaptured lost ground and created
32
more transparency on progress of the IAF program for the public.
33
34
The 2019 Aviation Special Committee, chaired by Commissioners Peter Steinbrueck and Courtney
35
Gregoire, would be chartered to review and provide recommendations to the Port of Seattle
36
Commission on Century Agenda elements associated with aviation, the airport capital
37
infrastructure program, the development of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan and associated
38
Environmental Impact Statement, a motion to guide ground transportation at the airport, and
39
recommendations and a motion to guide the development of the South King County Fund.
