Review of Thun Field Airport Fuel Concession Recommendations Pursuant to Ordinance №2016–64s2
Last year staff proposed taking over fuel sales at Thun Field. The Council requested a study to see if this was something best left to the private sector.
Review of Tacoma Narrows Airport Hangar Lease Rate Recommendations Pursuant to Ordinance №2016–64s2
Members of the Tacoma Narrows Airport Advisory Commission have complained that lease rates for facilities are above market.

Proposed Contract for Evaluation of Broadband Access and Speed in Pierce County
I proposed this countywide broadband study a year ago and we’re finally ready to award the contract to conduct the work. It will look at regulatory changes and strategies to encourage broadband infrastructure development and partnerships with a particular focus on rural areas where investment has been slower.
My Weekly Calendar
Last year we got a request for my forward looking calendar. Rather than have staff waste their time on public record requests, I’m just going to start publishing screen shots. Keep in mind, my schedule isn’t static. Things will get added, deleted, changed, etc. There are conflicts that I have to pick between. But if people want to see where I’m at and who I meet with, that’s fine by me.
