STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE MOTION
25
26
An Aviation Special Committee was originally chartered by the Port of Seattle Commission on
27
March 13, 2018. With the passage of the committee’s first year of activity, staff recommends
28
revision of the committee charter to clarify technical elements and to re-focus the scope of the
29
committee’s work. The 2018 Aviation Committee focused its oversight function on the
30
International Arrivals Facility (IAF). On September 25, 2018, the Commission passed a motion
31
creating an Executive Review Panel comprised of experienced construction management
32
professionals to review the execution and supervision of the IAF program. The resulting change in
33
leadership on the project and other significant changes have recaptured lost ground and created
34
more transparency on progress of the IAF program for the public.
35
36
The 2019 Aviation Special Committee, chaired by Commissioners Peter Steinbrueck and Courtney
37
Gregoire, would be chartered to review and provide recommendations to the Port of Seattle
38
Commission on Century Agenda elements associated with aviation, the airport capital
39
infrastructure program, a policy to guide ground transportation at the airport, and
40
recommendations to guide the development of the South King County Fund.
