A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MEDINA
URGING RELIEF FROM JET NOISE.
WHEREAS, residents of the City of Medina have been
bearing a disproportionate noise burden from Sea Tac
International Airport flight operations; and
WHEREAS, the number of Sea Tac operations have increased
substantially in recent years and are predicted to increase
further; and
WHEREAS, the increasing aircraft noise has seriously
impacted the quality of life of Medina residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, that we, as the elected
representatives of the residents of Medina, strongly advocate
that:
1. The Port of Seattle and the Federal Aviation
Administration make changes that reduce aircraft noise and
improve the quality of life for Medina residents.
2. Where air traffic must take the East Turn during
North Flow conditions, utilize methods to equitably distribute
the noise impacts. The number of flights per hour and per day
for any single community should be limited to a reasonable
number wherever possible.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that: given that all communities
surrounding Sea Tac International Airport benefit from the
presence of the airport, there must be fairness in sharing the
noise burden resulting from the Sea Tac flight operations.
Passed by the Medina City Council this 8th day of
November, 1999, and signed in authent�i ation of its passage
