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