ACTION REQUESTED 
Request (1) unanimous consent to adopt Resolution No. 3730 at the same meeting at which it is
first introduced, as required by Article VIII, Section 1, of the Commission Bylaws; and (2) First
and Second Readings and Final Passage of Resolution No. 3730: A Resolution of the Port
Commission of the Port of Seattle, authorizing the Chief Executive Office to sell and convey Port
personal property in 2017 in accordance with RCW 53.08.090 with a value not greater than
$19,000. 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
The Port of Seattle regularly determines that personal property is no longer needed for port
district  purposes  and  prepares  accordingly  for  its  disposal.  Commission  authorization  is
required to grant the Chief Executive Officer authority to sell and convey port district personal
property of $19,000 or less in value in accordance with RCW 53.08.090. 
JUSTIFICATION 
Pursuant to RCW 53.08.090, the Commission may, by resolution renewed from year to year,
authorize the managing officer of a port district to sell and convey port district personal
property of $10,000 or less in value. RCW 53.08.090(2) requires yearly adjustment of the
$10,000 limit based on the governmental price index. Such adjustment results in a $19,000 limit
for 2017, changed from $18,000 in 2016. Examples of surplus items that fall within the $19,000
limit include vehicles, office furnishings, and computer equipment. It is now the appropriate
time for the Commission to renew the Chief Executive Officer's authority for the year 2017.
