6.   DIVISION, CORPORATE, AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
6a.  Authorization for the Executive Director to execute a consulting contract for Executive
Program Management Services for up to five years in the not-to-exceed amount of
$15,000,000. 
Request document(s) included a Commission agenda memorandum and presentation slides. 
Presenter(s): Lance Lyttle, Managing Director, Aviation; Jeffrey Brown, Director, Aviation Facilities
and Capital Programs; and Ralph Graves, Senior Director, Capital Development. 
Aviation projects are increasing in number and complexity, so additional resources are necessary
to augment current staffing. This contract will provide coordination of projects for improved
efficiency and more accurate estimates. 
Key functional areas fulfilled by this contract will be program controls, program risk management,
and design coordination. Port staff will handle program formulation and construction coordination. 
Recruitment of permanent staff is not a good alternative because attracting quality candidates with
the appropriate skill set and level of experience is unlikely. However, it is anticipated that contract
staff will transfer skills to existing Port staff, and successful implementation of this initiative will
result in Port personnel who will be able to take over the functions fulfilled by the contractors. 
The motion for approval of agenda item 6a carried by the following vote: 
In favor: Albro, Bowman, Creighton, Felleman, Gregoire (5) 
A recording of this part of the meeting has been made available online. 
6b.  Authorization for the Executive Director to (1) proceed with the demolition and salvage
of the existing bank and Net Shed #'s 7 and 8 buildings at Fishermen's Terminal and
(2) advertise and execute a major public works contract for demolition, all for an
amount not to exceed $1,300,000 out of a total estimated project cost of $1,530,000 (CIP
#C800525). [subsequently amended] 
Request document(s) included a Commission agenda memorandum and presentation slides. 
Presenter(s): Tim Leonard, Capital Project Manager, and Jeffrey Utterback, Director, Real Estate &
Economic Development. 
Provisions have been made regarding the buildings scheduled for demolition. Net shed tenants
displaced from buildings 7 and 8 will be relocated to comparable net lockers. Tenants are being
rearranged for more efficient use of the remaining space. The bank vault and safe deposit boxes
will be salvaged. Demolishing these buildings now will help avoid delays in the gateway building
schedule. 


Minutes of September 26, 2017, submitted for review on January 24, 2018, and proposed for approval on January 30, 2018.

supporting Commission priorities, such as a new position to support a Port wide equity program, 
continuation of the high school internship program, and increased community outreach were
highlighted. Other division priorities and business needs include additions to the police, human
resources, central procurement, and accounting departments, as well as expenses related to
relocation of some central procurement staff to new office space.

including: 
illustration of how budget allocations support Century Agenda goals; 
a comparison of the actual budget and budget forecast for prior years in order to compare
projected and actual spending; 
a clearer depiction of how many overall full-time-equivalent positions are being added; 
description of areas where budgets have been reduced; and 
a histogram of non-recurring initiatives that roll over from year to year.

7c.  2018-2022 Long Range Plan: Final Draft Review. 
Presentation document(s) included a Commission agenda memorandum, plan document, and
presentation slides. 
Presenter(s): Dave Caplan, Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives. 
An overview and briefing on 20 of the 27 Long Range Plan objectives was presented on July 25,
2017. This briefing recapped that presentation and discussed incorporation of Commission
feedback, covered the final seven objectives, and summarized plan progress and goals. 
Increasing the participation of Women and Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) firms contracting
with the Port is the primary focus of small business goals. Concern was expressed regarding the
expression of the WMBE goal as a proportion of funds spent without referencing the number of
participating firms, and it was requested that the goal be amended to include both measurements. 
Commissioners and staff discussed carbon reduction goals; reducing the Port's carbon footprint
during a period of overall growth is going to present a challenge. 
Next steps were outlined, including approval of the plan at a future meeting, critique of the
scorecard as a means of illustrating progress, and the annual planning cycle's interaction with the
annual budget cycle.
