carry out its functions. Each port will provide these support functions through an ILA that
describes the services to be provided.

administrative functions and operations. Each port intends to execute an ILA with NWSA to allow
the ports to provide those services for 2022. The Port of Seattle budget included the budgeted
amounts for the proposed ILA service agreements with the NWSA.
