Eddie Rye, Jr., Washington Civil Rights Coalition, regarding recent litigation pertaining to
Women and Minority Business participation in the Airport Dining and Retail program. Mr.
Rye submitted written materials, which are included here as minutes Exhibit A. 
6.    DIVISION, CORPORATE, AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
Without objection, the Commission advanced to consideration of  
6c.  First Reading of Resolution No. 3737, a Resolution of the Port of Seattle Commission to
establish a Diversity in Contracting Policy Directive to increase women and minority
business opportunities and to repeal Resolutions No. 3506 and No. 3618. 
Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum, presentation slides, and draft resolution. 
A copy of the final draft of Resolution No. 3737 will be made available upon adoption. 
Presenter(s): Aaron Pritchard, Commission Issues and Policy Manager, and Teresa Delicino,
Director, Small Business Development. 
The purpose of this policy is to improve women and minority business enterprise (WMBE)
participation in contracts, by increasing the number of WMBE businesses contracted, and the
percentage of Port spending with WMBE firms. Each division will set goals based on their
anticipated contracting for the coming year. Categories used to define WMBEs will be the same as
those used in federal disparity studies. 
Commissioners and staff discussed the process for becoming a certified WMBE. Although
business will not need to be certified to participate, part of this policy will direct Port staff to
encourage certification. 
Commissioners expressed an interest in disaggregating the business utilization data by ethnic
group in order to determine whether particular groups are underrepresented in order to increase
outreach to those communities. Disaggregated data for current contracts was requested in order to
establish a baseline. 
Changes to consider before adoption were proposed, including the following: 
Striking the word "covered" from Section 3, to apply these goals to all firms contracting with
the Port. 
Updating the 2016 Small Business Utilization Report for inclusion as an appendix. 
That the definitions be clarified to distinguish between Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) and Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) and WMBE. 
The motion for approval of First Reading of Resolution No. 3737 carried by the following vote: 
In favor: Albro, Bowman, Creighton, Felleman, Gregoire (5) 
Without objection, the Commission advanced to consideration of  
6d.  Authorization for the Executive Director to (1) execute a purchase and sale agreement
to acquire Salmon Bay Marina for $15,679,120; (2) execute an amendment to the

Minutes of December 5, 2017, submitted for review on May 2, 2018, and proposed for approval on May 8, 2018.

existing  architectural/engineering  services  contract  for  Fishermen's Terminal for
$2,000,000 for the planning and design of a 60,000 square-foot light industrial building
and related upland site improvements; and (3) invest $900,000 in covered moorage fire

agreement, due diligence summary, and comprehensive analysis options document. A map of the
property was provided at the time of the meeting and is attached as minutes Exhibit B. 
Presenter(s): David McFadden, Managing Director Economic Development, and Jeffrey Utterback,
Real Estate Development Director. 
The Salmon Bay Marina is strategically located adjacent to Fishermen's Terminal. If the Port does
not purchase this property now it is unlikely to be on the market again in the near future. A master
use permit is attached to the property that will support both fishing and recreational boating. 
Commissioners discussed whether purchasing this property is in keeping with the Port's current
strategic priorities such as job creation and the number of derelict vessels currently at the marina. 
The motion for approval of agenda item 6d carried by the following vote: 
In favor: Albro, Bowman, Creighton, Felleman (4)

via a tenant reimbursement agreement (TRA), see Attachment 1, between the Port and
Ivar's Inc. for the design and construction of a shared cooking facility and venting
system in support of temporary food carts offering hot food in the Central Terminal at
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; (2) execute a lease and TRA with Ivar's for this
purpose under the Airport's AV-2Policy, and (3) authorize an additional $400,000 of
project  spending  to  support  this  tenant  project.  This  request  seeks  a  single
authorization to approve the TRA and complete design and construction. The total
estimated cost for this project is $2,000,000. 
Request  document(s)  included  an  agenda  memorandum,  presentation  slides,  tenant
reimbursement agreement, and lease and concession agreement. A preliminary food cart  design
was presented at the time of the meeting and is included here as minutes Exhibit C. 
Presenter(s): James Schone, Director, Aviation Commercial Management, and Sean Anderson,
Program Leader, Aviation Project Management Group. 
Previously, this authorization request was presented as agenda item 4d on November 28, 2017,
and was laid on the table at that time. 
Hot food availability will be limited during the Central Terminal remodel. To help provide adequate
dining options to customers, staff proposes entering into a tenant reimbursement agreement (TRA)

with Ivar'sto construct a shared cooking facility in order to support temporary food carts in the
Central Terminal. A TRA is proposed for this project because Ivar's has the ability to complete the 
project faster than the Port. In the future, this kitchen can be used for other kiosks and as a 
business incubator for food service. Commissioner concerns with the project were noted as
outlined in more detail on November 28. 
The motion for approval of agenda item 6e carried by the following vote: 
In favor: Albro, Bowman, Felleman, Gregoire (4) 
Opposed: Creighton (1) 
The Commission returned to consideration of  
6a.  First Reading of Resolution No. 3742: a resolution of the Port Commission of the Port
of Seattle adopting bylaws governing the organization and transaction of business of
the Port of Seattle Commission and repealing Resolutions No. 3611, 3672, 3673, 3689,
3690, 3733, and all other resolutions dealing with the same subject matter. 
Request document(s) included a draft resolution, appendix, and potential amendments. An agenda
memorandum was provided at the time of the meeting. A copy of the final draft of Resolution No.
3742 will be made available upon adoption. 
Presenter(s): Paul J. White, Commission Clerk. 
The proposed bylaws have been benchmarked against those of other organizations and have
undergone extensive review. The text presented is a reorganization of the current bylaws . S ince
the Port was formed in 1911, the bylaws have been added to and expanded, but have changed
little in basic structure and emphasis. 
The proposed bylaws contain seven articles, following Robert's Rules of Order. 
Article I provides an object statement. 
Article II pertains to the membership of the body. It addresses vacancies in a way that
aligns  more  clearly  with  state  statute  and  provides  expanded  guidance  regarding
abstention and recusal. 
Article III delineates the roles of officers. It addresses some misapprehensions, such as
the degree of control the Commission president has over the agenda, streamlines the slate
of officers, and provides a new category for the Commission Clerk's duties. 
Article IV defines the schedule of regular meetings. It is updated to reflect current practice
of meeting twice a month. The order of business has been updated to move public
comment and unanimous consent earlier in the meeting, and the meeting start time has
been moved one hour earlier. E xecutive session will now start at 11:00 a.m. and public
session will start at 12:00 p.m.; this is intended to make it easier for members of the public
to attend and provide comment during the lunch hour. The total amount of public comment
will be limited to 45 minutes, which is aligned with the practices of other municipalities. 
Article V covers committees and is intended to support the Commission's interest in
increasing its policy work. 

Minutes of December 5, 2017, submitted for review on May 2, 2018, and proposed for approval on May 8, 2018.
