Presenter(s): Lance Lyttle, Aviation Division Managing Director; Jeffrey Brown, Director of Aviation Facilities and Capital Programs; Arlyn Purcell, Director Aviation Environment and Sustainability; and Borgan Anderson, Aviation Finance and Budget Director. Growth in local industries is driving demand for increased capacity. Sea-Tac is primarily an origination-and-destination airport, which has different requirements for parking, ground transportation, and baggage facilities than airports that have more travelers with connecting flights. A summary of Sustainable Airport Master Plan projects was provided, including updates on projects currently underway, near-term projects expected to be completed by 2027, and a forecast of long-term projects expected to be undertaken after 2027. Commissioners and staff discussed balancing port revenue and costs to airlines, awareness of debt levels, and cost per enplanement. Not expanding the airport would result in a severe downgrade of service as demand increases. The process for environmental review was discussed. There will be a single integrated document for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. The anticipated duration for the review is 12-18 months. Direction was provided for community open houses, with emphasis on thoughtful inclusion of all members of all affected communities and thorough collection of data based on community input.

Previously, the commission received an update on the status of the International Arrivals Facility (IAF) project and guaranteed maximum price negotiations on March 27, 2018, as agenda item 9a. Commissioners Bowman and Steinbrueck summarized the background of the motion. The goal of the panel would be to ensure time and money spent on the IAF project are optimized. Mr. Merritt summarized the background of the panelists. The text of the motion reads as follows: The Commission hereby convenes a panel of experienced construction management professionals, the "Executive Review Panel," for the International Arrivals Facility project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, to review the execution and supervision of the project's progressive design-build project delivery method, project cost escalation, the process being used to negotiate a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the project, and make recommendations on the project going forward. The Executive Review Panel will conduct its review and present a written report to the commission within 60 days of appointment. The members of the ERP shall be: Ken Johnsen John Okamoto Loren Smith Tina Millan The Commission delegates authority to the Executive Director to execute up to four personal service agreements (with a maximum compensation not to exceed $200,000) for members of the Executive Review Panel.

Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum and draft resolution. A copy of the final draft of Resolution No. 3747 will be made available upon adoption. Presenter(s): Eric Schinfeld, Senior Manager, Federal and International Government Relations, and Veronica Valdez, Commission Specialist. Investment in immigration issues is in keeping with the port's mission to promote social responsibility by helping assure equal legal protection, due process, and quality of life. Engagement with international communities is also an important piece of the Port's business model. This motion directs that the port will do the following: not deny services based on immigration status; prohibit any employees from inquiring about or collecting information regarding place of birth, citizenship, or immigration status; avoid using its resources in the enforcement of immigration law; provide facilities that are welcoming, safe, and accessible for all visitors; and commit to engaging and collaborating with refugee community stakeholders. Discussions regarding this policy directive began in January 2017, following the federal travel ban. Much of the work preceded the December 2017 bylaws change requiring that policy-related matters be referred to committee. It was proposed that committee referral be waived for this item. MOTION For purposes of Resolution No. 3747, the motion to waive Commission Bylaws Article V, Section 6, requiring referral of policy directive and governance structure changes to a committee of appropriate purview, carried by the following vote: In favor: Calkins, Felleman, Gregoire, Steinbrueck (4) Absent for the vote: Bowman Minutes of May 8, 2018, submitted for review on July 19, 2018, and proposed for approval on September 11, 2018.

Adoption of Motion 2018-06: A motion of the Port of Seattle Commission to develop and implement an equity pilot program in 2018 to inform development of an equity policy directive. Request document(s) included a draft motion. The adopted version of Motion 2018-06 is attached. Presenter(s): Veronica Valdez, Commission Specialist, and Tracy Patterson, Talent Development and Diversity Manager, Human Resources. Previously, a presentation on this topic was made on April 24, 2018, as agenda item 9b. Equity efforts currently underway include the Diversity in Contracting and Priority Hire policy directives, strategies to address homelessness, and mitigation of the environmental impact of port operations on disadvantaged communities. This motion will institute a toolkit to enable the port to identify and address equity matters throughout the organization. The toolkit will be designed with input from port employees and executive leadership and will be piloted on a handful of projects. The text of the motion reads as follows: The commission hereby directs port staff to develop and implement an equity pilot program in 2018. The pilot program shall use an equity toolkit in no less than three departments and/or projects in the port to inform the development of an equity policy directive.

PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Page 8 of 9 TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2018 Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum, presentation slides, and draft lease amendment. Presenter(s): W. Allan Royal, Property Manager, Aviation Properties. This lease will provide a facility near the airport for maintenance of Enterprise/Alamo/National rental cars. There is not another suitable location available nearby; the alternative site is several miles away in the Kent valley. Keeping the facility closer to the airport will have a positive impact on carbon emissions reduction. Real estate analysis indicates that there are few suitable uses for this piece of property. The motion for approval of agenda item 8c carried by the following vote: In favor: Calkins, Felleman, Gregoire, Steinbrueck (4) Absent for the vote: Bowman 8d. Introduction of Resolution No. 3748: A resolution of the Port Commission of the Port of Seattle restating the Port of Seattle Statement of Investment Policy; repealing Resolution No. 3663 in its entirety; and adopting the State Treasurer's Resolution Authorizing Investment of the Port of Seattle's Monies in the Local Government Investment Pool. Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum, presentation slides, draft resolution, resolution Exhibit A, resolution Exhibit B, local government investment pool prospectus, and 2017 investment portfolio report. A copy of the final draft of Resolution No. 3748 will be made available upon adoption. Presenter(s): Diane Campbell, Treasury Manager. This resolution will amend the Port of Seattle Statement of Investment Policy to allow participation in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP). The LGIP is already used by the Northwest Seaport Alliance and Port of Tacoma. I t operates similarly to a money market fund, and the objectives of its investment policy are like those of the Port of Seattle.

A copy of the final draft of Resolution No. 3749 will be made available upon adoption. Presenter(s): Elizabeth Morrison, Director, Corporate Finance. The purpose of this issuance is to provide funding for airport projects. Approval of the bonds does not change requirements for authorization for funded projects. There will be a series of shorter term bonds with a lower interest rate, and longer term bonds with a higher interest rate and a drop in debt service after ten years, which will allow for future debt capacity. The motion for introduction of Resolution No. 3749 (agenda item 8e) carried by the following vote: In favor: Calkins, Felleman, Gregoire, Steinbrueck (4) Absent for the vote: Bowman 9.
