The City of Renton is seeking candidates for positions on the Renton Airport Advisory Committee (RAAC). New RAAC members are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council to serve a three-year term.  Members serve without compensation and must reside within the city limits of Renton.

The committee is composed of 27 primary and alternate members representing neighborhoods, airport tenants and airport users. The city is specifically seeking members from the following neighborhoods to fill existing vacancies for the alternate member positions:

• Highlands Neighborhood

• South Renton Neighborhood

• West Hill Neighborhood

• Renton Hill/Monterey Terrace Neighborhood
