MINUTES
Chair Mike O'Halloran called the Renton Airport Advisory Committee (RAAC) meeting to
order at 5:30 p.m. A sign-in sheet for members was routed around the table. A separate sign-in
sheet was routed for the guests.
The Chairman asked everyone to take some time to go over the previous minutes before they
were presented for approval.
The Chairman announced there would be a change in the order of items on the printed agenda.
At 6:35 there would be a vote on a Vice-Chair position to be selected from the aviation side and
at 6:45 Councilmember Palmer would present an update on the Council/Administrators retreat
that was recently conducted.
The Chairman asked if there was any discussion concerning the previous minutes.
John Middlebrooks mentioned that he attended the February RAAC meeting. He asked that page
four be changed to reflect that the West Hill neighborhood was represented.
The Chairman agreed and called for approval of the previous minutes as corrected by Mr.
Middlebrooks. Councilmember Palmer seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Items Discussed:
I. Airport Issues Update—Presented by Ryan Zulauf
FAA
There was a recent meeting conducted involving representatives from both the cities of Renton
and Mercer Island with representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The
purpose was to speak with Jason Pitts and to formally request the FAA support implementation
of the WAAS runway approach. It is hoped that the wark can be accomplished and the FAA will
be able to publish it with November 2008 as the effective date.
At this meeting, Paul Johnson, the FAA District Office Engineer, reminded us that we need to
approve the Airport Layout Plan, and it must be accomplished sooner, rather than later. Mr.
Johnson clarified that, even though the City is working towards a final plan that may or may not
include a Corporate Aviation Center there was no reason to delay the process of completing the
Airport Layout Plan Update. He suggested the City could eliminate Apron C from a formal
designation. In doing so, the City of Renton might want to designate the available area with a
label such as "undetermined" or something to that effect. He stressed the importance of
,

obtaining an approved Airport Layout Plan to aid the City's efforts in obtaining needed grant
funding.
Mr. Pitts offered his staff to perform a fatal flaw diagnosis on the RNP WAAS/LNAV approach,
but his staff has to be trained for the process before this can happen. He anticipates this may
occur later on in 2007.
Mr. Zulauf reported that SeaTec Consultants have been directed to table their work until later
this year, or possibly sometime in 2008.
The Airport financial model should be available for the March 21 City of Renton Transportation
(Aviation) Committee meeting. Councilmember Palmer commented that there are a lot of items
to cover during this particular meeting, so it may start a few hours earlier than the normal 4 p.m.
start time. It will be announced during the March 19 Council Meeting. Interested parties may
check the City of Renton's web site or call the Council Liaison, Julia Medzegian, at
425.430.6555 for specific information.
Renton and Mercer Island Memo of Understanding (MOU) Regarding Airport Issues
A copy of the MOU was enclosed in everyone's meeting packet and available at the entry to the
Council Chambers. The City of Mercer Island has not yet had the opportunity to review and
comment on it. The RAAC members should read and acquaint themselves with the intent of the
MOU before the next RAAC meeting.
It is anticipated both cities will participate in funding a joint noise study and share in the costs
equally.
Airport Capital Projects
A number of capital projects have been put on hold until the issues involving the Airport Layout
Plan have been worked through.
Bruce Fisher, Airport Specialist, is currently working on the specifications for a project that will
remove the major dips in the runway.
The demolition project for the 820 Building (formerly the Boeing avionics building) has been put
on hold due to a funding and hazardous materials problem. Asbestos has been discovered and
the rough estimate to remove and dispose of it came in at a cost of approximately $130,000.
Items of Interest
The Airport web site was recently updated by Airport staff.
Boeing Field has scheduled a partial runway closure for March 15, from 1000-1300 hours.

The Renton Airport Advisory Committee voting sheet has been included in the information
packet. Chairman O'Halloran inquired if anything had changed on it from the past. Mr. Zulauf
explained that nothing had changed. He clarified that the formal appointments to the RAAC are
made through the Mayor's office with Council's approval. As such, the Mayor's office
maintains the official list.
Councilmember Palmer noted that Jennifer Ann Rutkowski had previously been quite active on
the RAAC and she hasn't been at the past several meetings. She asked if anyone knew what
happened to her or why she was no longer attending. Marlene Mandt works with Jennifer Ann
and will speak with her about the RAAC in the near future.
Councilmember Palmer asked Mathew Devine (Tiffany Park) if he would be willing to contact
members of other Talbot Hill groups to see if they would like a short presentation from the
RAAC at their neighborhood association meeting. He agreed to do so.
Councilmember Palmer next acknowledged and welcomed Linda Herzog, Mercer Island
emissary, and Todd Banks, General Manager for Kenmore Air, to this evening's meeting.
II. Review of Handout for the City CounciUAdministrators Retreat—Presented by Peter
Hahn,Deputy Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator—Transportation
Peter Hahn gave an overview of the two-day City Council/Administrators workshop. He noted
that he, Ryan Zulauf, Mike O'Halloran and several other members of the RAAC were present for
the discussions concerning Renton Municipal Airport. Mr. Hahn advised that a handout entitled
Airport Development Policy Priorities c�nd Process for Examining Alternatives, dated March 1,
2007, (a copy of this document is in today's informational package) was distributed to everyone
and he noted the Councilmembers appear to have different ideas and perspectives concerning the
Airport.
Mr. Hahn called attention to the Key Governing Policies for the Airport (page three of the above
noted document). Council has rearranged the order of the priorities. What is shown as #3,
"Airport operations will be sensitive to neighborhood impacts, and will strive to minimize those
impacts" has been moved up to the top item of priority. What are shown as #1 and#2 follow in
their order after the new #1, as #2 and#3 respectively.
III. Discussion—All
Q. Chc�ir O'Halloran asked if there would be vote from the RAAC coming soon.
R. It is entirely up to the RAAC Committee and their Chair to determine when a vote
would take place.

Q. Will the noise study encompass tlTe south ericl?
R. The intent is to cover all areas that will be impacted.
Q Is the video of the meeting at Mercer Island on the City's web site now?
R. Mr. Zulauf wasn't sure. He'll look into it. (It is now on the City's website)
Q. Bob Moran wanted to know why it laas taken the Committee five years to get a noise
study completed.
R. The Airport Development Study was completed in 2005. Mr. Zulauf has been
systematically working his way through those items listed within the Development
Study as expeditiously as possible.
He clarified that the noise study being proposed as part of the Airport Layout Plan
Update will model the noise impacts of the various alternatives. That type of work
is very different than monitoring the existing daily noise event caused by a single
aircraft operation.
Q. Colleen Turner wanted to know how tl2ese new developments with Council will
affect the plans currently before the RAAC.
R. The first major change will be the elimination of the term "Preliminary Preferred
Airport Layout Plan" from the vocabulary pertaining to the current Airport Layout
Plan (ALP). This change was directed by Council in an effort to eliminate any
confusion as to the status of the plans presented by the Consultant and should clarify
to everyone that, to this point, no preferred selection has been made. The ALP
drawings have already been modified and put out on the website.
The second issue is the noise study will be completed sooner, rather than later, as it
may have an impact on the preferred selection for the ALP.
Peter Hahn interjected that no matter what else happens, the FAA still needs the
information as soon as possible; the RAAC still needs to move quickly to select an
ALP that can then be formally adopted by Council action and submitted to the FAA
for approval.
Q. Al Banholzer questioned whether the noise study would be based on the FAA Part
150, or would it be accornplished through modeling?
R It is the FAA's perspective that Renton does not have a noise problem. The Airport
staff believes the Airport Layout Plan will need to go through the State
� ' ' �w+
Airport Advisory Committee Meeting
March 13,2007
Page 5 of 12
Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) approval process. An addendum to the
required paperwork will be a noise study. Staff anticipates this will be accomplished
using a modeling study for single (noise) events.
Q. Marlene Mandt referred back to the Airport Development Policy Priorities,
Recommended Options#S(page 3). She wanted to know about the possibiliry of
using actual use-case study scenarios that would compare events such as the new
Seahawks Training Facility with their anticipated schedules and expectations of
3,000 fans during tlzeir practice sessions; or in conjunction with the completion of
The Landing, etc.for considercztion in their deliberations over the ALP.
R. This is something that can be looked into.
Q. Mike Rice made reference to the City of Renton/Mercer Island Mernorandum of
Understanding that is curreritly being considered. He asked if Renton is still
required to meet the needs of the current leaseholders?
R. Peter Hahn responded that the City is still obligated to keep moving forward. We
need to continue to carry out the normal business activities of the Airport.
Ryan Zulauf commented that we are required to use the Airport for aviation-related
purposes. We need to move forward in compliance with the Mayor and Council's
objectives and wishes.
Councilmember Palmer added that we have to be realistic and move forward and
keep business going.
Q. Chuck Kegly with the Paci�c Northwest Business Aircraft Association (PNBAA)
stated there is a general perception in the aviation field that there is currently a
moratorium on leasing activity at Renton Municipal Airport until we get some final
directions. He asked if this was true.
R. Councilmember Palmer responded that there is no official moratorium on leasing at
the Airport. She will be bringing this matter up with the Transportation (Aviation)
Committee at their next meeting.
Q. Colleen Turner asked if the Galvin proposal and n Corporate Aviation Center were
mutually exclusive to each other.
R. Ryan Zulauf replied the issue is the finite amount of available usable land. Once the
land is leased for a particular use, other uses of that land cannot be accommodated.
Bernie Paholke wanted the RAAC members to know that their new web site was up
and running. It is chock full of good, useful information. The address is:
y�, " '+rrr'
Airport Advisory Committee Meeting
March 13, 2007
Page 6 of 12
ietcenter.flvprofli�ht.com. Your observations and comments are welcomed.
Mr. Paholke then mentioned folks should take a look at the other web sites for more
information. The City of Renton's web site is a good source and the noiets.or� web
site is also functioning.
Councilmember Palmer and Ryan Zulauf both proclaimed their appreciation for
ProFlight's help and their proactive approach in explaining the Airport's policies and
the fly-friendly efforts.
Chairman O'Halloran announced it was time to vote on a Vice-Chair that needed to
be selected from the aviation side of the RAAC and he asked for volunteers or
nominations. Mike Rice volunteered; Diane Paholke was nominated. Bernie
Paholke confirmed Diane would be interested in serving as Vice-Chair. There were
no other nominations. Chair O'Halloran announced the vote would be taken by a
show of hands and all of the primary members were allowed to vote. It was restated
that the role of the alternate member is to when the primary member is not present.
RAAC alternates voted where primary members were not present. Mike Rice was
selected as the sitting Vice-Chair of the RAAC because he is a primary member. He
will conduct any RAAC meetings in the event of the Chairperson should be
unavailable.
Q. Marlene Mandt tivanted to know about studying tlie air quality in conjunction with
the I-405 widening and the irnpending increase in airport activity.
R. Air quality analyses will not be a part of any Airport-related SEPA investigations.
The Puget Sound Air Quality Authority already monitors the air quality in the Puget
Sound Region to ensure that the region remains in compliance with the Clean Air
Act.
Bob Moran commented that the Airport item on Channel 21 was only supposed to
run for one week, but it's still being aired. He feels it is past time to "pull the plug"
on it. Councilmember Palmer was in agreement. Ryan Zulauf will look into it.
A1 Banholzer expressed frustration over all of the work for the past five years by the
RAAC that now appears will go by the wayside. He asked for a game plan with a
check-off list to be used in the future as a guide for the RAAC's deliberations and
decisions.
Chairman O'Halloran responded that, at the present time, the RAAC is waiting for
the financial reports to pencil out. We need the financials before we can begin to
make any type of informed decision as to what would be best for the Airport.

Peter Hahn asked the members to refer to the Airport Development Policy Priorities
(noted earlier) and look at page 3, Recommended Options for Proceedin�. Mr. Hahn
explained that this is the "check off' list requested by A1 Banholzer. This covers all
of the necessary items needed to arrive at a defined Airport Layout Plan, handle
public outcry; the noise study; arriving at compatible arrangements with Mercer
Island; and satisfying the FAA's requirements in a more timely fashion by
implementing their suggestions (referring to the "potential aviation center" or
"undetermined use" language in the ALP), etc.
Al Banholzer said he was looking for something more in line of a punchlist of things
to be done.
Chairman O'Halloran asked for a vote on following the Recommended Options for
Proceeding as defined in the Airport Development Policy Priorities document.
After a brief discussion, it was decided the RAAC members should take a look at the
Recommended Options and formulate an itemized list of topics each member
believes this Committee still needs to resolve. At the next RAAC meeting, the
topics will be put on a whiteboard and fully discussed. A final list will be compiled
by adding/deleting the individual ideas as they are discussed. Ultimately, each topic
will be ranked and pursued by the RAAC.
Q. Frank Marslzall asked about the FAA's role in deciding the RNP. If the FAA says
"No RNP for Renton," wliat then? What c�re the advar2tages of an RNP?
R. RNP stands for required navigational performance. In essence, it would mean
Renton would be classified as an all-weather runway and it would allow more
operations during times of inclement weather.
Q. Mr. Paholke iriquired if the noise study would take into consideration the RNP
approaches.
R. Mr. Zulauf noted that it would make sense to include that in the modeling process.
Chuck Kegley (with PNBAA) commented that environmental justice might pose a
problem for the Renton Airport in trying to implement RNP because the federal act
may make it challenging to reduce impact to Mercer Island, if it results in more
impacts to less affluent communities.
Q. David Duriner(Mercer Island)asked if SEPA should be included in the
Recornmended Options for Proceeding.
R. No, because it will already be a requirement when the ALP comes up for approval as
SEPA is automatically triggered at that time.

Rich Zwicker commented that the RAAC could move this forward regardless of
Council's concerns. He would like to use the Council's documents as a good
starting point.
Q. Colleen Turner asked for clarificntiorz that the RNP and Corporate Aviation Center
are not joined at the hip (we have to have the one in order to get the other).
Without the RNP is the Corporate Aviation Center proposal prernature?
R. Mike Rice and Bernie Paholke responded that that was not necessarily true.
Q. Wl2at did the Corporate Aviation Cer2ter proposc�ls indicate? Is the RNP a
require�nent?
R. Mr. Zulauf responded that in order to achieve the air taxi concept work at Renton, an
improved approach was needed. Since an ILS is not possible at Renton, staff looked
at alternative means of improving the existing approaches and RNP was just one
interesting option that has the potential in the future to improve the approach, and at
the same time, help reduce overflights of residential areas, specifically on Mercer
Island.
Ryan Zulauf commented that the Renton Municipal Airport could not obtain an
instrument landing system (ILS).
Dina Davis mentioned that Appendix I of the Airport's Business Plan does include a SEPA form
with items highlighted that the consultant thought was important. After a brief discussion,
Councilmember Palmer asked Ms. Davis to please prepare her comments on this item and get
them to her in advance of the next meeting.
IV. Council Update— Councilmember Marcie Palmer
Councilmember Palmer once again stressed the fact that the Airport is one of the City's top five
(5) areas of concern and she expressed her appreciation for all of the hard work the RAAC had
done. Councilmember Palmer will ask the Transportation (Aviation) Committee members for
more guidance on the direction they would like to see the Airport take.
The financial modeling for each scenario of the proposed ALP will be presented to Council at the
next Transportation (Aviation) Committee meeting (March 21).
Council has not decided if a Corporate Aviation Center will be built and, if it is built, who would
build and/or operate it. Councilmember Palmer does not expect any decision at this meeting.
She was clear that the RAAC would definitely be involved in the process.
� ' �
Airport Advisory Committee Meeting

The Memorandum of Understanding with Mercer Island will also be discussed at the Committee
meeting.
Another topic of discussion on the Committee agenda will be the Kenmore lease proposal.
Councilmember Palmer stressed that the City Council is all over the map where the Airport is
concerned. She explained that the Airport was on the "back burner" for so long and that most of
the Councilmembers have never really been educated on the overall aspects of the Airport, let
alone the ongoing situations at hand. Now that a general public outcry has arisen due to talk
about a "Corporate Aviation Center," the Council, as a whole, has decided that they need to have
more information before they can make informed decisions whenever it comes to Airport
business.
In closing, Councilmember Palmer said that she and Mr. Zulauf were working on setting up a
potluck for the RAAC primary and alternate members. They anticipate holding it on a weekend
in June.
The next RAAC meeting will be held on April 10, 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers.

Summary of Questions/Comments made at the Public Meeting held on
Mercer Island on January 29, 2007
Use of the Airport
• Want information on current business uses (land based)
• Want data on current aircraft operations (typical day, busiest day, aircraft use)
• Want data on future operations for each alternative being evaluated
• If August 2006 were annualized, how will those number of operations compared to what
are being used in the evaluations?
• Explain why in the past traffic grew or diminished 15,000 to 20,000 operations a year?
• What is the basis for the traffic growth of 1,300 operations a year?
• Are there plausible or probable scenarios where traffic growth could return to 20,000
operations a year?
• What is the current number of IFR approaches versus number of VFR approaches into the
airport?
• What are the projected percentage splits between IFR and VFR with the various
alternatives?
� � � �

• What leverage do you have to encourage the migration of louder planes to quieter planes
and how confident are you that the shift will actually occur?
• It was stated that the Renton runway is too short for the jets that normally fly into Boeing
Field, so there is no need to worry about them returning to Renton. However, for a few
weeks these jets did use Renton Airport. So which is correct? Either the potential exists
for the louder jets to return to Renton, ar it doesn't.
• What are the current number of jet arrivals and number of jet departures?
• What are the projected number of jet arrivals and number of jet departures for each of the
various alternatives?
� What is the number of air traffic arrivals in the last 60-90 days?
• How do noise complaints get resolved today?
• What are the consequences for a violation?
Environmental Impacts
• What are current impacts (primarily noise)?
• What will be environmental impacts for each alternative being evaluated?
• Will the Airport undertake NEPA studies and if not, why?
• Will impacts on Bald Eagle nesting sites on south end of MI be evaluated?
� Will impacts on the two school and several parks in the south end of MI be evaluated?
• Will Renton pay for any mitigation (acoustic suppression) needed at homes and schools?
Flight Paths
• Is it impossible to modify the runway to take off directly toward Seward Park and use the
west part of the lake?
• Will Renton go ahead with their plans to encourage and expand private jet use of the
airport without altering the takeoff and landing heading over Mercer Island, over to the
east of the Island? Why not obtain the new RNP flight track first?

Airport Development Folicy Priorities and Process for
Examining Alternatives
200? Council/Administration Planning Warkshop
March 1, 2007
Over the last few manths the city council has solicited
additional public input on the airport plan and is now
interested in reviewing the airport palicy development process.
Ori�inal Process:
fihe planning process was based on the building blocks af the
business plan of 2002 and the Airport Development Plan (May, 2005).
The latter included, among other elements, recommendation 2(b} --
"development of an executive jet center." The subsequent 200� wark
on a draft Airport Layout Plan identified a preferred alternative based
on Policy 2�b). In addition, the city formally issued a Request for
Proposal for a Jet Center (after council Transportation jAviation
Committee briefing}. Three proposals were received on 4ctober 31,
2(�06. �imultaneously, the city began the implementation of
Development Plan Policy Recommendatian 2(a} - "pursue technical
solutions to create an all-weather runways" - by soliciting a draft
scope of work from a consultant to develop an RNF (required
navigation procedure�. This was viewed as a necessary condition to
attract a jet center.
First Plan Revision- October 2006
At an October 9, 20Q6 Committee of the Whole, it was
recommended that more public feedback is needed before a
plan is adopted by the council. This Ied to an Open House at
Renton High School on November 21, 2006, a Renton public
meeting in council chambers on January 16, and a Mercer
Island meeting on January 29. During this period af time
public interest in the airport plan grew, both in Mercer Island
and in Renton. The city council transportation committee
discussed this an February 7, 20�7, and agreed that the
council as a whole should re-visit this subject at the 20C17
Council Administratian Planning Warkshop.
. � . . „r,�,
FAA Meetin� on Februarv 21, 2007
Renton and Mercer Island officials met with key FAA staff to
discuss two primary topics: development of two new
approaches and status of the airport master p1an.
At the FAA meeting we learned the following very important
facts:
l. The FAA regional staff will be receiving RNP training in
2007 which would allow it to provide important threshold
information on the feasibility of RNP in Renton. This advice
from FAA to Renton would be free of charge and would be
important to have before any further investment in RNP
development is made by Renton.
2. Contrary to what the city was led to believe before, the path
to 3rd party development of RNP, and FAA approval, is not
guaranteed.
3. The city will need to convince the FAA office that prioritizes
RNP studies that Renton should be considered ASAP (may
need the help of our Congressional delegation).
4. An improved instrument approach - LPV/WAAS -- which
would apply to a very large percentage of General Aviation
planes in Renton (Class A and B or possibly for other classes
as well) can and will be approved by FAA no later than
November 2008.
5. The FAA is concerned with the delay in the ALP (aka Master
Plan) and will not wait until the issue of RNP is resolved. The
FAA expects a plan to be approved in the near future.
Based on this information, we can conclude the following:
1. Continuing with the consultant proposal of RNP is not
prudent at this time because of the uncertainties. �
2. Without RNP the jet center proposal is pre mature. -
���, �
�
\ p � . - � '
��I� ��
` � . . r✓
3. By the end of 2007 we could get from FAA's newly
trained staff some important advice on the potentia.l for
RNP.
4. We can still go ahead with a noise study and get
information which would help with any plan options that
have been provided in the ALP.
Kev Governin� Policies for the Airport:
� We believe that the city has considerable consensus on the
following overarching principles:
, 1. The Airport has to be financially self-sustaining.
2. The mix of uses at the Airport will operate within the
regulatory framework set by FAA.
,,� 1 . Airport operations will be sensitive to neighborhood
impacts, and will strive to minimize those impacts.
4. The mix of uses at the Airport will contribute to the
City's Business Plan goals and objectives.
Recommended Options for Proceedin�:
1. Review and clarify policies adopted in 2005 as part of the
May 2005 Renton Municipal Airport Development Study.
2. Continue with financial analysis of the various layout
options.
3. Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the
City of Mercer Island, outlining cooperative actions taken
and those to be taken (information sharing, R.AAC
involvement, noise study, approach alternatives).
4. Continue with noise study, jointly with Mercer Island.
5. Find a way to satisfy FAA's direction to finish the ALP
work in the near term. This may suggest that the area
currently designated in one option as a corporate
aviation center would be left as "a potential future
aviation center" with no steps taken to implement it; or
this area could be more vaguely labeled "undetermined
use"; or the area could be designated for a different
aviation use, and modified in the future.
• �,� _ , ,wrr
6. Bring this new information together in very late 2007 or
2008.
7. Continue pursuing the LPV-WAAS p oa h
development by FAA. ' �;��v����'�¢��
8. Formally ask FAA to develop an RNP (resource issue).
9. Review the 2005 Airport Development Plan.
10.Determine the role of the RAAC in this revised process.
Other Issues
A number of other compelling decisions have presented
themselves. Given the regulatory framework from FAA, the
city is obligated to giving serious considerations to any
proposals that are made to the Airport. These include:
❖ Kenmore Air Proposal — length of lease
❖ Galvin Flying Service Pending Proposal
