PROJECTINTENT
The City of Auburn intends to develop a 2012-2032 Airport Master Plan to replace the 2002 Airport
Master Plan for the Auburn Municipal Airport. The Master Plan will provide the City of Auburn with a
plan to address the development needs at the airport for a 20 year planning horizon (2012-2032) and
will develop a realistic program for implementation within known funding constraints. To the extent
possible, the Master Plan will account for addressing environment, high level economic growth, &
socioeconomic issues for all stakeholders. Century West Engineering (Consultant) has been retained by
the City to accomplish the Master Plan. The Consultant will work in close liaison with the City and
Airport Management staff, a Planning Advisory Committee, local business and stakeholder groups, the
Federal Aviation Administration and the WSOOT Aviation to ensure that the plan truly reflects the
airport's development needs.
The City has provided specific direction regarding the elements to be included in the Master Plan to
address the current and future needs at the airport. The following work program describes the effort
required to successfully complete the Master Plan for Auburn Municipal Airport within the FAA
framework and including additional scope items identified by the City for the development of airport
master planning documents.
This project will provide the City with a 2012-2032 Airport Master Plan and revised Airport Layout Plan
(ALP) drawings. An updated Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) will provide the City with a
method and proposed schedule for addressing future facility needs through use of FAA Airport
Improvement Program (AIP)grants and other available funding sources.
The project will address and/or update the basic tasks and work elements as outlined in FAA Advisory
Circulars 150/5070-68. Airport Master Plans , 150/5300-13 Airport Design (changes 1 through 14, or as
amended). The most current FAA Northwest Region Airport Layout Plan Checklist will be prepared and
submitted with the draft airport layout plan drawing set.
The master plan update includes the following major work elements:
• Element 1-Study Initiation and Management;
• Element 2-Airport Data Collection and Facilities Inventories;
• Element 3-Aeronautical Activity Forecasts and Demand Capacity Analyses;
e Element 4-Facility Requirements;
e Element 5-Summary of Environmental Status;

ELEMENT 10-AIRPORT FINANCIAL PLAN
In concert with the 20-year CIP, an airport financial plan will be prepared that analyzes airport revenues
and maintenance & operation expenditures for use in updating short- and long-term operating
strategies. The Consultant will also review the current airport rates and fees schedule for comparison
with other similar airports located in the defined airport service area. Evaluating the market potential
for airport land and the remaining useful life for City-owned structures and any other structures of
interest, pavement and other facilities are generally key elements in defining strategies. The financial
impact of deferred maintenance will be examined in detail with the goal of creating a realistic schedule
for addressing these needs in terms of financial feasibility.
Task 10.1—Financial Plan
Projections of the airport operating revenue and expenses will be prepared to coincide with the 20-year
CIP The financial plan will be developed from data acquired during the inventory (Task 2.8) and
through interviews with City staff. Specific assumptions regarding potential changes in expenses or
revenues will be coordinated between the City and Consultant and will reflect the general timeframe for
major revenue-generating projects or increased maintenance or operational costs. The purpose of this
projection is to identify the levels of airport-generated funding that may be available to support the
capital improvement program during the current planning period.
Product: A 20-year airport revenue and expense projection.
Task 10.2-Financial Plan Working Paper
The Consultant will develop a detailed working paper describing the tasks outlined above. This working
paper will be submitted to the City and FAA for review and comment approximately two weeks prior to

Product., Agency stakeholder list to be utilized for project coordination and document distribution.
ELEMENT 12-PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION PROCESS
Task 12.1—Identify Project Stakeholders
Century West will assist the City in identifying project stakeholders for the purpose of creating a project
contact list. The contact list will be used to provide periodic updates on the study process, provide
information about the availability of draft work products, and to announce upcoming project meetings
or other related events. Project stakeholders may include individuals, businesses, organizations, or
government entities (See Task 11.1)that have an interest in the planning, development or operation of
Auburn Municipal Airport.
12.1:1-Define Roles and Responsibilities
As the first step of the public involvement process, the Consultant will work with the City and
appropriate City staff to develop a framework for the process that defines the roles and responsibilities
for all participants. It is critical to manage expectations from the beginning by defining the level of input
of all participants and identifying the key decision points and decision makers. The roles and
responsibilities will be clearly defined on a one page handout that can be used at all meetings to
establish the framework and control the process throughout the project.
12.1.2-Planning Advisory Committee(PAC)
A Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) with approximately nine to twelve members will be assembled to
provide input and allow for public dissemination of data. Members to serve on the PAC will be
determined by City, but may include members with technical expertise and community interests. PAC
members could include, but are not limited to, airport tenants, pilots, local & regional economic
development interests, neighbors of the airport, and staff/representatives of the City, Puget Sound
Regional Council, and King County. In addition to the membership composition and number noted
above, representatives from the FAA Seattle Airports District Office (ADO) and the WSDOT Aviation will
serve as ex officio members of the PAC.
Up to five (5) PAC meetings will be held during the course of the study and will be held on the same or
preceding day as the public information meeting described below during plan and program
development. Draft materials will be distributed by the Consultant in at least one week in advance of
�.1 NTU��T Page 130
AUBURN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT-AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
the meetings to allow ample time for review. The Consultant will be responsible for conducting the
meetings, reviewing the scope of the project, presenting the findings and recommendations of the plan
and program, preparing written meeting summaries, and responding to any technical and professional
questions and concerns. The Consultant will prepare any supplemental handouts or presentation
graphics needed for the meetings. PAC meetings will be held corresponding to the following project
milestones; project kick off,completion of the inventory and forecast chapters,completion of the facility
requirements chapter, completion of the preliminary alternatives chapter, and a final meeting to
present the preferred alternative, capital improvement program and airport layout plan drawings prior
to formal submittal for approval and adoption.
12.1.3-Public Informational Meetings
Up to three (3) public informational meetings will be scheduled during the project. The process of
evaluating airport development alternatives will involve meetings to initially present preliminary
concepts, followed by presentation of refined concepts, eventually leading to the City's selection of a
preliminary preferred alternative. Input provided from all sources, including neighbors, the general
public, PAC members,WSDOT Aviation, FAA,City staff, PSRC staff, and County staff will be considered in
the formulation of the preliminary preferred alternative. Coordination with City officials will occur
simultaneously during the alternatives evaluation stage of the project to ensure that all issues are fully
considered. Additional refinement and public comment will also be encouraged after the preliminary
preferred alternative is selected. This input is designed to refine the proposed development that will be
reflected in the preferred alternative.
The public informational meetings will be organized as public workshops to inform the public in general
and to provide a forum for neighbors and stakeholder groups to discuss the project and provide input.
The meetings will be scheduled to coincide with PAC meetings (same day or consecutive day),whenever
possible.
Participants would be invited to complete a survey early in the project to provide feedback on the
effectiveness of the initial public participation program and to provide suggestions for future public
participation events. The survey will be developed jointly by City staff and the Consultant and may be
either web-based (i.e., SurveyMonkey, etc.) or distributed through direct mailing. The survey is not
intended to provide a scientifically based analysis tool, but will provide a general indication of key areas
of interest within the community and at the airport.
Public notification of upcoming meetings will be provided through the project mailing list, in addition to
customary City public meeting notices and the City website. Public notice of upcoming meetings shall
be made at least two weeks prior to the meeting date,and are subject to newspaper printing deadlines.

12.1.4-Proiect Kickoff Workshop
The first meeting will serve as the project kickoff meeting designed to provide information about the
project and planning process and to obtain public input to identify key issues or concerns. The specific
format and organizational elements for the meeting will be determined by City staff and the Consultant.
However,for the first public meeting, we propose to hold a workshop that provides an informal setting
to provide information to the public, collect input and answer questions. The meeting would be staffed
by several members of the Consulting team and City staff, with other stakeholders invited to
attend/participate. Several information areas would be used to address likely key issues related to the
project (examples include airport noise, current activity highlights, land use, community growth, etc.).
Each informational station would be organized to encourage questions and to provide an opportunity
for the public to provide written comments.
A project mailing list will be created and maintained throughout the project for use in actively
encouraging public participation. Invitations to public meetings, project newsletters and PAC meeting
summaries will be mailed or sent via email from the mailing list, in addition to public advertisement.
Project newsletters will be prepared and distributed periodically (bi-monthly) during the project to
summarize meeting highlights, including a summary of key issues identified by the public. The project
newsletters and draft project deliverables will also be available online. Issues requiring additional or
periodic follow-up or public briefing will be tracked throughout the project. See summary below for
more information about the public participation plan.
12.1.5=Joint Planning Conference
A joint planning conference will be conducted early in the project in conjunction with a PAC meeting.
The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the role of Auburn Municipal Airport as part of the
regional economy and transportation system,discuss.specific challenges or site.specific factors that have
the potential of affecting the airport, and the role of the airport with regard to regional economic
development.The Consultant will prepare presentation materials and handouts needed for the meeting.
The participants will include City staff and officials; local, state and federal agencies (identified in Task
11.1) with responsibilities associated with the airport or its surroundings; PAC members as deemed
necessary

ELEMENT 13-PLANNING FOR COMPLIANCE
The Consultant will evaluate airport compliance issues as they are defined by the FAA's Seattle ADO.
Task 13.1—FAA Compliance Summary
Objective
Applying for and receiving Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant funding contractually obligates an
airport sponsor to comply with the Assurances contained in the application package. FAA makes
continual efforts to educate sponsors in general about their grant obligations, but much of FAA's
compliance efforts with individual sponsors is reactive, in that violations come to FAA's attention and
require correction. The objective of this task is to take a proactive—even preemptive—approach to
achieving compliance and avoiding noncompliance at a specific airport with its unique circumstances by
examining existing and potential compliance issues as part of an airport planning project.
Approach
The airport sponsor through their Consultant will conduct a thorough review of the approved airport
layout plan (ALP), Exhibit 'A' Property Map Including all FAA Grant and obligations received to date,
Airport Ordinance (if any), Zoning Ordinance, Rules and Regulations, Minimum Standards, airport
enterprise fund/budget, leases, easements, permits and any other pertinent governing documents to
ascertain consistency with the Assurances. A common-sense "look-around" will also take place to
identify potential problems,such as:
• incompatible land uses in the airport environs and/or an absence of appropriate airport-
compatibility zoning
• existing"through-the-fence"access for aircraft based off airport property and/or possible future
requests for same(especially residential airparks)
• revenue diversion(including improper use of airport property)
• on-airport residential use (sometimes called "crew quarters")
• nonaeronautical local events closing the airport or a runway(such as drag racing on runways)
• unabated wildlife attractants
• trees or structures(possibly unstudied/uncharted)obstructing the airport's airspace
• anything else in conflict with the Assurances or sound operation of the airport
