The City supports this finding. <br /> We also note, and agree, that there will be no significant adverse impacts at or in the vicinity of Paine Field <br /> when the proposed action is considered cumulatively with other past, present or reasonably foreseeable <br /> projects. <br /> This Draft Supplemental Environmental Assessment is the latest in a series of detailed studies and plans <br /> that have extensively examined significant aviation, land use and environmental issues associated with <br /> Paine Field over the past 30 years. This extensive body of work supports the conclusions that the proposed <br /> action will result in no significant adverse environmental impacts.

The resulting improvements support increased <br /> flight and business activity in the vicinity of the airport. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Cassie Franklin <br /> Mayor <br /> Cc: Everett City Council <br /> CITY OF EVERETT • 2930 Wetmore Avenue, Suite 10A • Everett, WA 98201 • 425-257-7115 • Fax 425-257-8729 <br />
