PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2025 Page 9 of 9 Commission President Hasegawa spoke, and made the following referral to the Equity and Workforce Development Committee: With respect to the Sustainable Airport Master Plan and changes in the NEPA process - for staff to work on providing the Committee with an analysis of the incremental impacts identified in the NEPA process that were called 'non-significant' in order to better understand what those increments are and to plan for an engagement strategy with communities to better understand how growth will benefit, or burden, them. Also to be analyzed are transportation impacts with respect to how those impacts are intended to be mitigated. Some questions would include: (1) How will the Port make investments to support its communities without a robust equity-based analysis? (2) What investments would workers like to see and how do they travel? (3) What investments will help alleviate the burden of growth? (4) As we continue to grow, how do we ensure that those benefits and the burden of growth are understood at a community level and activated at a government level?

Links or attachments may be unsafe. Dear Commission President Hasegawa, Vice President Calkins, and Commissioners Cho, Felleman, and Mohammed, Since 2021, thousands of community members have signed petitions addressed to you, sent you letters and emails, called you, and testified to you at Port meetings - all urging you to protect North SeaTac Park. A combined 5,000+ community members, including multiple elected officials, have signed two petitions asking the Port to save the park and preserve community trees around the airport. You can see public signers and comments for the 2021 petition here and for the current petition here. In 2023, Representative Smith and Senator Cantwell included an amendment in federal legislation, which was passed into law, establishing that the Port can sell North SeaTac Park below market value to the City of SeaTac so that the City can keep it as a park in perpetuity. This amendment was prepared as a specific response to Port officials who claimed that their inability to sell the Park at a below-market rate was the threshold issue preventing the Port from executing a transfer of North SeaTac Park to the City of SeaTac. Following the passage of Smith and Cantwell's amendment into law, the City of SeaTac, in May of this year, offered to Buy North SeaTac Park from the Port in consideration of creation of a $20 million fund that the city would create to preserve the park in perpetuity. The public deserves to know now: what is your plan to save the park for our community? We need your commitment. Without your quick action, the park is at risk. Thank you in advance for your timely action and your response to my outreach.

Links or attachments may be unsafe. Dear Port Commissioners, As a 20 year resident of Des Moines, an airport adjacent community, I urge you to state your commitment to protect North Seatac park. I frequently have ridden my bike through this park, and have enjoyed the beauty, trees and tranquility. The public overwhelmingly supports protecting this park from development. Many emails have been sent, petitions have been signed urging you to do this. It would be a horrible tragedy to turn this forested land with old growth trees into a parking lot to benefit the airport. Residents of Seatac nearby are living in a community highly impacted by airport operations, with higher pollution, noise and destruction of forested space. I urge you to make a strong public commitment and statement soon declaring your intention to save this park and sell it to the city of Seatac to benefit the community and preserve this park for posterity.
