The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Terminal 117 is located in the South Park neighborhood. The clean-up work is being
done pursuant to an order by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Clean-up began in June 2013, and most of the in-water activities are expected to be
completed by February 15, 2014. 
Clean-up of sediments in the Terminal 117 uplands was complicated by unexpected
discovery of barrels of regulated waste that required remediation. This  resulted in an
August 2013 declaration of emergency and delayed work on the Terminal 117 uplands
by 4-5 months. Delay of in-water work has resulted in more intensive and complicated
compliance monitoring needs. 
AECOM is the Port's project environmental consultant providing compliance monitoring, 
oversight, and documentation for the Terminal 117 clean-up. 
The contract increase provides  for additional services and extends AECOM's
compliance support.  Project approval and funding was included in the 2014
environmental remediation liabilities authorization in December 2013.  The original
budget for professional services is sufficient to cover the agreement increase. N o
additional funding is required. 
Due to the terms of the extended professional services agreement, the increase does
not constitute a cost overrun or add to the overall project cost.
Seattle City Light is a partner in the cleanup and the Department of Ecology is providing
funding pursuant to the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA). Approximately $13 million of
matching grant funds were recently awarded for the project. The Port is the lead agency
for design and clean-up. 
South Park neighborhood associations are actively involved in the project. 
Motion for approval of item 6a  Albro 
Second  Bryant 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bowman, Bryant, Creighton (4) 
Absent for the vote: Gregoire 
6b.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to direct staff to purchase materials,
advertise for construction bids, execute construction contracts, and fund the
construction phase of the stormwater improvements portion of the Terminal 46
Development Program in the amount of $6,500,000, bringing the total amount currently
authorized for the program to $12,500,000. 
Request document(s) provided by Michael Burke, Director Seaport Leasing & AssetManagement 
and Ticson Mach, Capital Project Manager:

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2014 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The 13th Amendment to the Port's lease with Total Terminals Inc. at Terminal 46 was
approved in 2012. The amendment extended the lease by 10 years and committing the
Port to a number of improvements at the terminal. These include commitments to capital
improvements to improve stormwater standards. 
The terminal operator's proposal to use electro-coagulationwas found to be about four
times the cost originally projected. An alternative plan more consistent with original
budget expectations has been presented to the Department of Ecology for approval. 
Considerations in developing the alternative stormwater treatment plan were one-time
capital cost to the Port and reasonable ongoing operational cost for the Port's tenants. 
Stormwater runoff from the terminal does not meet state water-quality standards. All
stormwater runoff from Port terminals is contaminated with heavy metals, feces from
seabirds, galvanized coatings, and residue from brakes and tires. This is also true of
stormwater runoff from city streets. These pollutants are difficult to remove. Drinking
water also tends to be contaminated with metals that do not meet state stormwater
runoff standards. 
The Port's proposal for stormwater treatment would provide flexibility for future changes
to stormwater standards. No known treatments meet the standards of the 1972 Clean
Water Act. Even with use of the proposed system, which has been successfully tested,
the Port will not be in full compliance with the Act.  It is not known whether
commensurate stormwater treatment efforts to those proposed by the Port will be
employed by the City of Seattle or King County. 
Stormwater compliance efforts are considered in the context of "all known and available
reasonable technologies" (AKART). Department of Ecology approval is necessary in
order to use alternative stormwater treatment methods. The acceptance of AKART
represents an effort to balance environmental and business interests. 
Installation of the stormwater system will occur September 2014. Staff is exploring an
extension by the Department of Ecology through the end of 2014 in view of the amount
of activity at Terminal 46 and the need to phase construction with minimal operational
impact to the tenant. 
Bids for the project would go out February 2014, the contract would be awarded in May, 
and construction would begin in June. 
Funding will not be spent on the alternative stormwater treatment proposed until it is
approved by the Department of Ecology.

drafted in Exhibit A, to remove two news/gift locations from the lease premises at
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.  The Commission addressed this matter in
December 2011, and this authorization fulfills the intent of that initial action.

Presenter(s): Ms. Zachrisson. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The request is part of a series of responses to the closure of Borders Bookstore at the
Airport in 2011. At that time, the space was leased to Hudson Group, who converted it
to a convenience retail concept.
Hudson agreed to return two nearby units to the Port to use as small business leasing
opportunities. In order to lease the spaces to local small businesses, the units must be
removed from the leased premises in Hudson's lease agreement. 
Rather than result in loss of jobs, the closure of Borders resulted in creation of new jobs
and the commitment by Hudson to retain Borders' former employees. 
The new leases contemplated for these units are short-term leases for less than two years. 
The new tenants will be Metsker Maps and Sub Pop Records. 
There are plans to relocate the Airport's Music Initiative performance area from
Concourse C to a location closer to the Sub Pop Records unit.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2014 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The PeopleSoft Financials System supports the Port's accounting, budget management,
procurement, and financial reporting functions. Business functions supported by the
system include general ledger, commitment control, purchasing, accounts payable,
project costing, accounts receivable, billing, and asset management. 
The system processes $6.6 billion in assets, 730 million operating and non-operating
contributions, and 750 million expenditures. 
Key objectives in implementation of the PeopleSoft Financials upgrade included
operation of the base application, elimination of customizations, elimination of manual
processes, and refreshing hardware infrastructure. 
The project budget was approximately $5 million.  It started in October 2012 and
implementation commenced in September 2013.
Teams from Information & Communications Technology, Finance & Budget, Accounting
Financial Reporting and the Capital Development Division participated in the upgrade. 
Improvements gained by the upgrade include better overall performance and user
experience, streamlined processes and reporting, increased efficiency by implementing
workflows, and elimination of manual processes to improve efficiency. 
7b.  Legislative Update for February 4, 2014. 
No written materials were submitted for this presentation. 
Presenter(s): Patricia Akiyama, Director of Public Affairs. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Federal Government 
The Port's federal government advocacy includes promotion of policies and legislation
favorable to movement of freight, recognition of the significance of ports and intermodal
facilities to national freight networks, reform of inequities of the Harbor Maintenance Tax,
and Transportation Security Administration staffing of airport exit lanes.
An executive order by the President is expected to require federal contractors to pay a
minimum wage of $10.10/hour. 
State Government 
Port advocacy at the state level is guided by Port support for transportation infrastructure
investment with equitable benefit for freight mobility projects, protection for freight
conveyors from disproportionate taxation, dedication of MTCA funds first to clean-up of
contaminated lands, adoption of achievable water quality standards, promotion of
tourism and business growth, and funding for clean-up of derelict vessels.
The Port does not comment on labor or minimum wage issues at the state level unless
there is a direct impact to Port facilities. 
Local Government 
Engagement with local governmental partners at the City of Seattle focuses on
preservation of industrial land use through comprehensive plan policies, possible
