TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2013 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The Office of Social Responsibility (OSR) has been responsible for the Port's small
business program and coordination of the Port Jobs contract since 2008 and is also
involved in workforce development activity in coordination with the Century Agenda; 
Programs supported by OSR served 9,000 community members and small businesses 
and created $68 million in value for the community, including over $44 million for small
business, over $24 million in workforce development, and over $100,000 in community
giving; 
There were over $180 million in eligible expenditures in 2011, or which about $52 million
or 28 percent went to small businesses; 
The small business percentage increased to 35 percent in 2012, despite eligible
expenditures dropping to a little over $120 million; 
Of the small businesses comprising the 35 percent of eligible expenditures in 2012, eight
percent were state or federally certified as minority, woman-owned, or disadvantaged
business enterprises; 
Staff is examining the feasibility of conducting a disparity study to understand business
participation at the Port by ethnicity; 
Disparity studies typically require 10-12 months to complete; 
Although the Port does not officially track business participation by ethnicity, it has the
ability to do so and making a change to tracking of ethnicity would require policy
guidance from the Commission with due consideration given to restrictions under
Initiative 200; 
Port apprentice utilization requirements and diversity goals on projects over $1 million
and those with project labor agreements support workforce development in the building
trades, and 15 percent of eligible labor hours were performed by apprentices in 2012,
resulting in over $1 million in wages earned by 127 apprentices on Port projects; 
In 2012, of nearly 30,000 hours worked on Port projects by apprentices, 13 percent of
apprentice hours were performed by minorities and three percent were performed by
women; 
During 2012, 171 apprentices who had worked recently on a Port project achieved
Journey status; 
Workforce development in the maritime sector is an area of focus for the Office of Social
Responsibility; 
Port Jobs served over 7,600 community members in 2012, including placement of 1,088
people through Airport Jobs representing over $19 million in new household income,
predominantly through positions with passenger airline vendors such as baggage
handlers, wheelchair attendants, and cabin-cleaning services; 
Port Jobs provided training through Airport University to 234 employees, of whom 108
earned college credit; 
Airport University has partnered for the past seven years with Seattle Community
College and Highline Community College to provide training opportunities to Airport
employees at the Airport at times that are convenient to the employees' work schedules; 
The  Apprenticeship  Opportunity  Project  of  Apprenticeship  and  Nontraditional
Employment for Women (ANEW)  Program provided support to 212 community
members, including placement of over 100 people in apprenticeships in the skilled trades

with an average starting wage over $19 per hour, and is the primary vehicle for placing
women and minorities into apprenticeships in Port projects; and 
The Port's Community Giving Campaign collected over $112,000 benefitting 168
community nonprofit organizations selected by Port employees. 
In response to Commissioner Albro, Mr. Rice reported that some of the firms that would have
qualified for the 2012 Small Contractors and Suppliers program were already doing business with
the Port in 2011. Commissioner Creighton commented on his support for provision in the 2014
budget for tracking of ethnicity data in the small business program in order to ensure the economic
prosperity created by the Port is shared across diverse communities.  Commissioner Albro
requested more information on the disproportionate relationship between King County population
statistics for minorities and women and the representation of those groups in the apprenticeship
numbers for Port projects. 
7b.  2013 Operating Budget Forecast, revised 2013 Capital Budget and 2013 Draft Plan of
Finance Briefing. 
Presentation document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated March 22, 2013, budget
update presentation slides, and draft plan of finance presentation slides provided by Dan Thomas,
Chief Financial and Administrative Officer; Elizabeth Morrison, Director, Corporate Finance; and
Michael Tong, Corporate Budget Manager. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Thomas; Mr. Tong; Ms. Morrison; Borgan Anderson, Director, Aviation Finance
and Budget; and Boni Buringrud, Director, Seaport Finance and Budget. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Since approval of the 2013 budget, events are expected to significantly negatively affect 
the Port's operating revenueassumptions for 2013, including expiration of the existing
airline lease structure and the need to implement a new container lease structure and
rates subsequent to the new lease agreement with Total Terminals International; 
The anticipated negative variance is approximately $13.7 million, including about
$4.2 million in aeronautical revenue and $9.5 million in other operating revenue; 
$4 million represents about one percent of the total aeronautical revenues; 
Opportunities for expense savings of about $4 million have been identified, resulting in
an anticipated net operating revenue reduction of $9.7 million; 
Updated capital spending in 2013 is planned to be reduced by $930,000; 
Corresponding updated spending for the five-year plan of finance is reduced by
$284 million; 
As aeronautical costs are reduced, revenue under the cost recovery methodology is also
reduced; 
The primary aeronautical change in the Aviation capital budget is a reduction to the
potential International Arrivals Facility project from almost $500 million over 10 years to
about $300 million over 10 years; 
The Seaport capital budget capacity has been revised from $295 million over five years
to $171 million over the same period by reducing projects of a discretionary nature, that

are on hold pending an outside funding source, or that have been substituted with a
project of reduced scope; 
Seaport project reductions are for projects in the category of "pending Commission
authorization" that are focused on lease obligations, renewal and replacement, and
projects supporting the Century Agenda; 
The cash reserves and debt service coverage built into the five-year capital funding plan,
or Draft Plan of Finance, was summarized; 
Funding sources for the Draft Plan of Finance were noted; 
Real Estate Division and Corporate Division capital funding for 2013-2017 remain
unchanged; 
A revenue bond debt service coverage forecast for the period 2013-2017 was presented 
and finance activity for bond refunding and issuance of new bonds was summarized; and 
Anticipated variances for 2012 tax levy funding sources and uses were summarized
showing a positive ending fund balance variance of approximately $39.7 million, mostly
due to timing of payments and delays in spending. 
There was a discussion of monitoring unanticipated income to the tax levy fund with a view to
bolstering the Transportation Infrastructure Fund.
Preliminary Briefing on Special Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds (Resolution No. 3680). 
Elizabeth Morrison, Senior Manager, Corporate Finance, reported that Commission would be
asked to approve first reading of a bond refunding resolution on April 9, 2013, for bonds originally
issued in 2003 as special facility revenue bonds. She stated that the bonds are backed by lease
revenue, that about $100 million of the original bonds is outstanding, and that approximately seven
percent or better savings is expected from the refunding. Ms. Morrison noted that the savings of
approximately $7 million in present value benefits the airlines through lowered fueling fees. 
Preliminary Briefing on T-91 West Yard Property Surplus (Resolution No. 3679). 
Joe McWilliams, Managing Director, Real Estate and Property Management, reported that on
April 9, 2013, the Commission will be presented with a resolution for first reading to surplus
property at Terminal 91.  He provided a brief history of negotiations, including condemnation
actions, over the past 15 years to swap real property at Terminal 91 to result in property with
commercial value or other consideration for the Port, a combined sewer overflow facility for King 
County, and a park for the City of Seattle. He described the focus of negotiations on environmental
conditions on the site, the existence of an agreed order for the site with the Department of Ecology,
and differing clean-up standards for building a sewer overflow facility versus a public park. Mr.
McWilliams explained that the terms as currently proposed would provide approximately $8.4
million in proceeds to the Port with no blanket environmental indemnity for the Port. 
ANNOUNCEMENT 
Commissioner Creighton commented on his support for agenda item 5f, noting his hopes for an
amicable resolution to the subject claims related to the Airport Concessions Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise program.
