WHEREAS,WE have reviewed and considered the proposal to site a regional airport at various sites throughout Snohomish County;and, WHEREAS,it appears that the proposal to site a regional airport in Snohomish County fails to fully consider impacts to the economic viability of the County,open spaces,wildlife habitat,wetlands, infrastructure needs and feasibility of expansion,the necessary relocation of potentially thousands of Snohomish County residents and businesses and,most importantly the adverse impacts on the quality of life of citizens of Snohomish County;and, WHEREAS,each of the Snohomish County alternatives would adversely impact our citizens and businesses and none could possibly be considered a feasible alternative;and, WHEREAS,each of the Snohomish County alternatives would dramatically impact existing families,businesses,and public facilities such as schools and parks and irreversibly hobble our ability to house and employ forecasted populations in our Urban Growth Areas;and, WHEREAS,the goal of making air travel to and from the Puget Sound region,while laudable,should not be pursued at the expense of tremendous impacts to current and future generations of Snohomish County residents and businesses;and, WHEREAS,it is essential that the siting of such facilities be based on the best and most accurate information available to insure that minimal social,economic,and environmental impacts result from such decisions;and, WHEREAS,the study was flawed from the beginning in that it did not consider FAA regulations at the commencement of the process;and, WHEREAS,the study fails to adequately analyze the need for major transportation network improvements and the subsequent impacts to the communities targeted to host a regional airport,and the fact that the direct and indirect impacts of such improvements would dramatically change forever the face and character of our communities;and, RESOLUTION - 1 WHEREAS,the Arlington and Paine Field airports currently functioning in their role as general aviation airports,provide an irreplaceable service to the citizens of Snohomish CountYi and, WHEREAS,given the spatial distribution of the Puget Sound population base,it is doubtful that commute times or congestion associated with air related surface transportation would be significantly reduced with the development of a regional airport in Snohomish CountYi and, WHEREAS,it is widely known that other potential sites outside of the Puget Sound Region exist,that are not being considered in this process;and, WHEREAS,WE believe that the Puget Sound Regional Council and the Puget Sound Air Transportation Committee should understand our far-reaching concerns;NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYORS AND CITY COUNCILS OF ARLINGTON,LAKE STEVENS,MARYSVILLE,AND STANWOOD ALONG WITH THE TULALIP TRIBAL COUNCIL;AS FOLLOWS: 1.WE are opposed to the siting of a regional airport at any of the Snohomish County sites currently being considered by the Puget Sound Regional Council,based on the fact that such a development would jeopardize the economic and environmental viability,and livability of our communities. 2.WE support the role of the Arlington and Paine Field airports as general aviation facilities and such roles should not be disturbed or compromised in any way. 3.WE urge the Puget Sound Regional Council to cease their efforts to site a regional facility in Snohomish County and focus on more practical alternatives,including,a useable second runway at SeaTac International or other sites outside of the immediate Puget Sound Region that would serve the Pacific Northwest without causing unmitigatable impacts to existing and future residents of Snohomish County.
