7.    SPECIAL ORDERS of BUSINESS 
7a.  Motion 2019-01: A motion of the Port of Seattle Commission supporting legislative
proposals that  create a statewide  commercial aviation coordinating commission,
charged with making recommendations on a site for future commercial air service 
activity. 
Request document(s) included the revised text of the motion, Substitute Senate Bill 5370, and the
February 18 Senate Bill Report. A copy of the adopted version of Motion 2019-01 is attached. 
Presenter(s): Eric ffitch, Manager, State Government Relations. 
The legislative proposal is in response to regional growth and accompanying demand for additional
air service. Expansion or improvement of existing aviation facilities is under consideration with the
present legislation as is development of alternative airport sites. Commissioners commented on
the presumption that the commission would recommend development of a second commercial
airport in the Puget Sound region, but noted it was important that the data support the conclusion.
The Puget Sound Regional Council has an existing process to evaluate aviation capacity. Motion
2019-01 recommends that a statewide aviation commission incorporate PSRC's Regional Aviation
Baseline Study in its consideration of alternatives to accommodate growth in air-service demand.
Commissioners remarked on the need to distinguish in the motion text between the Port of Seattle
Commission and the statewide commercial aviation coordinating commission the bill proposes.

The following amendment was adopted without objection: 
On page 1, line 29, delete "The Commission endorses" and insert in lieu thereof: The Port

were summarized. Commissioners commented on the contract as part of efforts to ensure job

schedule. The proposal is to purchase compressed natural gas (CNG) buses and to fuel them with
renewable natural gas (RNG). RNG is a clean-burning alternative to fossil fuel that differs from
conventional natural gas in that it is derived from sources already in the earth's biosphere, whereas
