The role of the Community Council is to review issues
and information relevant to the operation of Paine Field and provide
organized input to the Snohomish County Airport Director, staff and
affected government entities. The Community Council is strictly an
advisory board with no policy making or implementing authority. Community Council representatives are appointed by the County Executive and approved by the County Council for a four year term, with a maximum of 3 consecutive terms. The ten members generally represent the interests of residential neighborhoods, on-Airport businesses, off-Airport businesses and pilots. The operations of the Community Council are governed by its bylaws. Members act as a liaison between the Airport and their respective constituents. To affect this liaison, members are expected to maintain communication with organized groups within their areas, i.e., pilots with local pilot organizations, off-Airport businesses with Chambers of Commerce, residential representatives with homeowner groups and city mayors. The Community Council meets a minimum of twice annually, with the current meeting schedule at three times per year. Membership on subcommittees may be required on occasion. Members report to the Community Council in the general meetings. Airport Staff responds to Community Council comments, suggestions, and questions. Members have an opportunity to offer significant contributions in Airport planning processes. The 1983-86 Part 150 Community Noise Study and 1987-88 Helicopter Noise Study were conducted by Community Council subcommittees. Many Community Council members were actively involved in the 1995 and 2002 studies to update the Airport’s Master Plan and Part 150 Noise Plan. Members have an opportunity to chair subcommittees or the entire Community Council. Individuals interested in becoming members of the Paine Field Community Council are encouraged to contact Bruce Goetz, Superintendent of Operations, at the Airport office at 425- 388-5110. |
