APPROVED MINUTES 
COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING APRIL 24, 2013 
The Port of Seattle Commission met jointly in a special meeting with the Port of Moses Lake
Commission Wednesday, April 24, 2013, at the Port of Moses Lake Headquarters, 7810 Andrews
Street Northeast, Moses Lake, Washington. 
CALL TO ORDER 
The special meeting was called to order at 4 p.m. by Kent Jones, Moses Lake Commission 
President. Present were Port of Seattle Commission President Tom Albro and Commissioners
Bryant and Creighton; and Port of Moses Lake Commissioner Stroud W. Kunkle. Port of Seattle
Commissioner Gregoire was absent, as was new Port of Seattle Commission appointee Bowman.
Port of Moses Lake Commissioner Conley was also absent. 
The joint meeting allowed the two Commissions to update each other on developments since their
first joint meeting on April 26, 2011. 
After a welcome by Port of Moses Lake Commission President Kent Jones and introductions, Port
of Moses Lake Executive Director Patrick Jones provided an overview of the port's current
operations. He noted that there are 65 tenants and 2,400 jobs located on port property with over
2,000 acres available for development and infrastructure and affordable power in place for future
expansion. 
Manufacturing tenants include SGL/BMW, Genie, REC Silicon and Takata Industries.  Steve
Swanson, the SGL plant manager and a tenant in the Foreign Trade Zone, briefed the group on his
company's progress in manufacturing carbon fiber for BMW automobiles, which led to a discussion
of other opportunities for the carbon fiber industry in Washington, such as for fishing vessel or
shipbuilding construction, containers, or other maritime uses. 
The Port of Moses Lake operates Grant County International Airport and is building up its aviation
services cluster.  Aviation Technical Services and Sonico provide maintenance, repair, and
overhaul services to passenger and cargo carriers. The airport is a major destination for flight
testing and training, including Boeing and the U.S. Air Force. The port is part of a Washington
consortium that recently submitted a bid to the Federal Aviation Administration to become one of
six federal drone testing facilities across the country with the test site headquartered at the airport.

Port of Seattle Commission President Albro updated the Port of Moses Lake Commission on the
Century Agenda and presented the Century Agenda video. He commented that the Century
Agenda seeks to maximize global market access and is an opportunity for ports to find ways to
work together toward that goal. As a model for future informal inter-agency coalitions, Executive
Director Jones pointed to the informal coalition, including the University of Washington and Pacific
Northwest National Labs, that worked together to put together the drone proposal. Commissioner
Bryant suggested that ports should be looked upon as an economic development system. 
The meeting ended with a brief discussion of the importance of the transportation package being
considered by the Legislature. 
ADJOURNMENT 
There being no further business, the special meeting was adjourned at 5:05 p.m. by Port of Moses
Lake Commission President Jones.
