Lease 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute Lease Amendment
No. 23 (Attachment 1) of the existing Main Lease (Exhibit A) with the Transportation Security
Administration represented by the General Services Administration (TSA/GSA).   This
amendment extends the term of the lease for five additional years and decreases the leased
premises by 403 square feet. 
SYNOPSIS 
The TSA/GSA lease will reach the end of its term on October 31, 2013. The TSA/GSA has
requested that this lease be extended for five more years and informed the Port of this intent by
submitting its approved amendment to the Port on August 23, 2013. This lease represents the
space they largely received (with some modest changes since 2002) while mobilizing after
September 11, 2001. This early TSA/GSA lease took all premises in an "as is" condition, with
the lessee responsible for making any needed improvements.
BACKGROUND 
The TSA/GSA has three separate terminal space leases with the Port. Those three leases are
commonly known as the Mezzanine Lease (3,768 sq. ft.), Main Lease (currently 8,338 sq. ft.)
and C1 Building Lease (10,756 sq. ft.) for a total of 22,862 sq. ft. of leased space. The functions
of these spaces vary between office, break room and training in support of their security
checkpoint and baggage screening duties, and were not consolidated because of differences in
timing of their leasing as well as differences in terms related to the condition of space and
associated differences in the Port's levelof investment. The proposed authorization to extend
the term for five additional years applies only to the Main Lease.
This lease was effective on October 2, 2002, and encompasses various office space, break room
and training areas that are spread out all over the Airport. Recently, the TSA/GSA indicated a
desire for a new lease, using its standard lease template, which transfers significant responsibility
to the Port to bring the premises up to their current lease standards from when they originally

Template revised May 30, 2013.

received it in "as is" condition. After some discussion and negotiation on this difficult issue,
along with the rapidly approaching lease expiration on October 31, 2013, the TSA/GSA finally
agreed to simply extend the current lease to ensure these critical spaces are maintained.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 
By extending this lease for an additional five years, reflecting the decrease in premises of 403 sq.
ft., the Port will secure an estimated $774,932 of revenue annually from the lease extension.
This lease does not financially obligate the Port in any additional way. The consideration for
foregoing the transition from the existing "as is" lease to a new TSA/GSA standard lease
template was maintaining all existing terms, including a fixed rate of $97.66/sq. ft. for the term
of the extension.

STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES 
This lease supports the Century Agenda objective of advancing the region as a leading tourism
destination and business gateway. This helps the TSA/GSA continue to support Port of Seattle
staff in operating a safe and secure Airport, while also meeting the region's air transportation
needs at Sea-Tac. 
This amendment also supports the Aviation Division's strategic goal of operating a world-class
international airport. It allows the TSA/GSA to continue to provide a high level of customer
service to airlines and their passengers and to keep the Airport operating smoothly by ensuring
that the TSA/GSA workforce is properly staffed and administratively supported.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1)  Allow the lease to terminate and tenant shall vacate as prescribed in the
underlying lease. This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2)  Allow the lease to expire and tenant to stay provisionally in a holdover state.
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 3)  Execute the five-year lease extension. This will secure revenue for the Port and
allow the TSA to carry out its mission of protecting the nation's transportation systems. This is
the recommended alternative.
