A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AUBURN, WASHINGTON ADOPTING THE STRATEGIC
BUSINESS PLAN FOR THE AUBURN MUNICIPAL
AIRPORT
WHEREAS, in Spring 2016, the Airport Advisory Board completed a Strength,
Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis to assess opportunities that
the Airport is positioned now or in the future to exploit and to manage and/or eliminate
threats that could limit current or future successes; and
WHEREAS, the Airport Advisory Board reviewed and identified strengths and
weaknesses that were primarily internally oriented and opportunities and threats that were
externally oriented and from this effort identified the need for a Strategic Business Plan
to help guide the Board, City Council, City Administration and City staff in strategic
decision-making for current and future development and operations of the Airport; and
WHEREAS, The Airport Advisory Board and City staff worked on the development
of the draft Strategic Business Plan during the Summer and Fall of 2016; and
WHEREAS, on November 16, 2016, the Airport Advisory Board unanimously
voted to recommend to the City Council the adoption of the Airport Strategic Business
Plan via Resolution; and
WHEREAS, The Strategic Business Plan is intended to be a "living document" and
that while working within a four (4) planning horizon, it is anticipated and expected that all
parties will have the opportunity to utilize, assess and modify the Plan as needed to
ensure that it is providing valuable guidance on policies, strategies, actions and
expenditures relating to the growth and operation of the Airport; and
WHERES, to help in maximizing the Strategic Business Plan's contributions, the
Airport Advisory Board should evaluate the Plan at the beginning of each year to
determine what, if any, modifications are needed as well as to provide the City Council
with any recommendations relating to changes in policy or financial operations; and

WHERES, as needed, the Airport Advisory Board may recommend modifications
to the City Council for the Strategic Business Plan to ensure that the Plan remains timely
and relevant and recognizes completed actions and needed new activities; and
WHEREAS, a substantive planning effort to update the Plan should begin in the
third year of the Plan to allow for adequate opportunity to engage key external
stakeholders, complete needed investigations and analyses, coordinate with City
Administration, City Council and appropriate City Departments and prepare, review and
finalize the Plan update, provided that this substantive effort should be completed by no
later than the mid-part of the fourth (4) year; and
WHEREAS, within the Strategic Business Plan there are several Key Result Areas
(KRAs) that are broad-based goals that are re-evaluated annually and incorporated within
the four-year Strategic Business Plan; and
WHEREAS, each Key Result Area has a mission statement that describes the
intent of each area as well as various goals which describe in greater detail the elements
of each KRA, including the responsible party, a narrative description, and estimated start
and completion dates; and
WHEREAS, the Key Result Areas are organized by subject matter and the goals
are not specified in a priority matter; It is expected that the Board and staff will utilize the
goals specified in each of the KRAs for the development and implementation of annual
work plans; and
WHEREAS, the development of the Key Result Areas has been based in part of
the application of the SMART model pursuant to Guidebook for Developing General
Aviation Business Plans (2012) for goal setting herein described as: 1) Specific—simple,
straightforward, compelling (without specificity, a goal can never truly be reached); 2)
Measurable—tangible, able to be tracked (an effective goal requires a statement of the
tangible evidence that the goal has been reached); 3) Attainable—possible, yet
challenging enough to be motivating. If a goal requires an organization to reach beyond
its true self, the goal will become burdensome and ultimately detrimental to the process.
However, the goal should be challenging enough to cause the airport's policymakers,
management, and staff to "rise up" to achieve it; 4) Relevant—important to stakeholders
and connected to the organization's values. Goals that are explicitly connected to values
are motivational and, generally, easier to achieve as a result; and 5) Time Bound—

includes a beginning and ending point. Identifying start and end dates provides the "race-
track" needed to keep the organization on course with a clear finish line to pursue; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it to be in the public health, safety and welfare
to adopt a Strategic Business Plan for the Auburn Municipal Airport:
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
