to provide some relief for tax payers, while at the same time preserving some flexibility
for future potential obligations related to either environmental or transportation
initiatives. 
Mr. Thomas stated that staff's tax levy proposal at this time was $73.5 million, and noted
that in the Preliminary Budget the amount was $75.9 million, and that was changed to

of the revised tax levy scenario, which would set the amount at $73.5 million. He noted

Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Bryant, Creighton, Davis, Hara, Tarleton (5) 
d.  (00:47:31) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to procure and execute
contracts for consultant services to implement an update to Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport's Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan at an overall
approximate cost of up to $2.5 million. This represents an increase of $1.5
million over the previously authorized amount. 80% of the funding is provided
by the Federal Aviation Administration and the remaining 20% by Airport
Development Funds. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated November 16, 2009 from
Stan Shepherd, Manager, Airport Noise Programs 
Presenter: Mr. Shepherd 
Mr. Shepherd noted that when authorization was received last June to procure a
consultant for the Part 150 study, the estimated cost was in the range of $500,000 - 
$1,000,000. Since that time, and following negotiations with the consultant, staff has
realized that those estimates were significantly lower than will be necessary to complete
the work. Staff is currently requesting that the amount be revised for an approximate cost
of up to $2.5 million. Mr. Shepherd noted that funding has been secured through the
FAA at 80% and the remaining 20% through the Airport Development Fund.
