6.   DIVISION, CORPORATE, AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
6a.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to:  (1) enter into a new agreement with an
existing Port tenant, Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), to effectively relocate from Pier
66, extend the term, and expand the leased premises with WWP at World Trade Center
West (WTCW) for an initial term of five years and four months, with one five-year option
to renew; (2) include a Port-funded tenant improvement allowance in the amount of
$341,640 and payment of a broker fee in the amount of $73,153; (3) terminate WWP's
existing lease at Pier 66, which has a remaining term of two years and eleven months,
upon full execution of the new lease and completion of the tenant improvements;
(4) relocate an existing WTCW tenant, Pacific Merchant Shipping Association (PMSA),
extending the initial term of the PMSA lease by an additional two years and nine months;
and (5) include Port funded tenant improvement allowance in the estimated amount of
$34,470 in the PMSA lease. This request is for the total project cost of $449,263. 
Request document(s) provided by Patricia Spangler, Real Estate Manager, and Melinda Miller,
Director, Portfolio and Asset Management: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated August 12, 2014. 
Lease agreement. 
Exhibits A, B, C, and D. 
Presenter(s): Ms. Spangler and Jeffrey Sinchak, representing the Wounded Warrior Project. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The current Pier 66 lease with the Wounded Warrior Project would be terminated in
order to execute a new lease with the tenant for a larger space of approximately 11,300
square feet at the World Trade Center West. 
There was not sufficient space at Pier 66 to accommodate the extra square footage
needs of the Wounded Warrior Project. 
The new lease would have a five-year term with one five-year option. 
The Port successfully renegotiated an early lease termination with the Pacific Merchant
Shipping Association (PMSA) at the World Trade Center West to provide for the larger
space for the Wounded Warrior Project. PMSA will be relocated within the same building
with a new five-year lease. 
As part of lease negotiations, the Port will contribute $450,000 toward tenant
improvements and will pay a broker fee. 
The same broker was involved in the lease negotiations at Pier 66 and the World Trade
Center West. The fee was negotiated in view of the unamortized portion of the original
broker fee incurred for the terminated Pier 66 lease. There is no broker fee associated
with the renegotiation of the PMSA lease. 
The tenant improvement cost of $450,000 includes the broker fee. The tenant
improvement cost per se of $341,000 is comparable to other tenants at the World Trade
Center West at approximately $30/square foot. 
Staff expects to fill approximately 4,000 square feet of the vacated space at Pier 66 for use
of another existing tenant. 

Minutes of August 19, 2014, proposed for approval on October 28, 2014.

of Seattle declaring certain personal property surplus (Port of Seattle Cranes No. 61,
62, 63, 64, 66, and 68) for Port of Seattle purposes and authorizing its sale or disposal;
and authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to execute all documents related to such
sale or disposal.

Resolution No. 3695. 
Presenter(s): Michael Burke, Director, Seaport Leasing and Asset Management. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The subject cranes are about 30 years old and are all the remaining cranes at
Terminal 5. At 100-foot gauge, they and the strength of the dock beneath them are no
longer adequate to accommodate increasing container ship capacity. 
Although the cranes still have value, they are not useful to the Port of Seattle, and their
presence would inhibit improvements at Terminal 5. 
If they are unable to be sold, staff will return for additional funds to demolish the cranes.

6c.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to sign a Feasibility Cost Sharing
Agreement with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 
Request document(s) provided by Linda Styrk, Seaport Division Managing Director, and Bari
Bookout, Director, Seaport Commercial Strategy: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated July 14, 2014. 
Presentation slides were provided at the meeting by Ms. Bookout. A copy of the slides is,
by reference, made a part of these minutes, is marked Exhibit A, and is available for
inspection in Port offices. 
Presenter(s): Ms. Styrk and Ms. Bookout. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The agreement commits the Port to a 50-percent cost sharing arrangement with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to study the potential to deepen the navigation channels in the
East and West Waterways around Harbor Island. Funding for the Port's share will come
from annual expense budgets, and there is funding for the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' portion in the President's 2015 budget. 
Container ships regularly calling at the Port of Seattle accommodate 8,000  10,000
TEUs (twenty-foot-equivalent units) and require drafts of 49 feet. Larger ships with
deeper drafts already call at other West Coast ports. 
Pilots require for safety an extra 10 percent of a vessel's draft below the keel. 
These factors restrict vessels by tide and tonnage when channel depth is insufficient. 
In order to carry the maximum value of export cargo, ships must depart at full draft. 
The East Waterway navigation channel is only partially authorized to a depth of 51 feet.
The West Waterway is only authorized to a depth of 34 feet. This means that shallower
areas within the channels impede navigation for larger ships. With authorization, the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will share in the cost of maintaining channel depth. 
During the current "reconnaissance phase" of the deepening study process, the federal
interest in continuing to consider deepening the channels is examined. Completion of 
this phase of the feasibility study is expected in September. 
Under the terms of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), the feasibility study
should cost no more that $3 million, take no more than three years to complete, and is
one of only three newly started studies this year within the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. 
The text of the cost-sharing agreement will be available by the end of August. 
Construction on channel deepening would not commence until after completion of the
three-year feasibility study period. The Seaport Division anticipates capital funding for
channel deepening starting in 2018 and continuing through 2022. 
Berths can be deepened prior to channel deepening, which might lessen the tidal
constraints for larger ships. 
Cost sharing applies to channel deepening. Once established at the greater depth,
operation and maintenance of the channel becomes the responsibility of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.

7.   STAFF BRIEFINGS 
7a. 2014 Second Quarter Update on the Airport's International Arrivals Facility (IAF)
Program. 
Presentation document(s) provided by Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management
Group, Michael Ehl, Director, Aviation Operations, and David Soike, Director, Aviation Facilities
and Capital Program: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated August 12, 2014. 
Presentation slides. 
Presenter(s):  Mark Reis, Airport Manging Director, and Frederick Robinson, Capital Program
Leader. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Authorizations for the IAF so far total $8.5 million. 
A report on schedule and cost validation is anticipated on October 28, 2014. 
[Clerk's Note: Subsequent to this meeting, the timing of the schedule and cost validation
report was postponed until early 2015.] 
Accomplishments to date include advertisement of request for qualifications and
selection of a bridge as the proposed connector between the new Arrivals Facility and
the South Satellite. 
Schedule and cost estimate validation will establish the "design-to" budget to complete
the project.  Three independent teams are working on validation of costs.  The
preliminary project estimate shared with the Commission in September 2013 will likely be
exceeded. An example of a project component not accounted for previously is removal
of the south ground transportation lot during construction, followed by its restoration
afterward. 
An airline majority-in-interest ballot would be required if the project cost exceeds ten
percent above the $300 million range originally presented to the airlines for inclusion of
the project under the terms of the latest signatory lease and operating agreement. 
There will be a third-quarter update on October 14, 2014. 
7b. 2014 Second Quarter Update on the Airport's NorthSTAR Program.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2014 
Presenter(s): Mr. England. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
NorthSTAR Program Overall 
The NorthSTAR project is an effort in partnership with Alaska Airlines to improve the
northern part of the Airport, where Alaska's operations are centered, for operational
benefits and enhanced customer experience. 
Commission authorization of a $191 million budget increase will result in that amount
moving from the "pending transfer" column of the second quarter report. 
Overall project management reserve is at $4.1 million. 
The overall program is behind schedule due to the North Satellite component being
behind schedule. 
Susan Kostoff no longer serves as Alaska's program leader for NorthSTAR. Greg Smith
will fill this role going forward. 
Performance on Small Contractors and Suppliers program participation is ahead of
forecast at 33 percent. 
North Satellite Renovation and Transit System Lobbies 
Authorization for pre-construction services by the general contractor/construction
manager is planned in the fourth quarter of 2014.
North Satellite Renovation is at 30 percent review.
The Commission approved North Satellite footprint expansion, and the airline majority-ininterest
ballot for expansion was approved.
An analysis of the capacity of the North Satellite Transit System loop was completed and
shows that the system can accommodate the North Satellite expansion, although a
fourth car may be needed eventually. 
North Satellite baggage system capacity was analyzed and the results will be examined
within the context of broader baggage system optimization at the Airport to determine
whether baggage system expansion is required now to support Alaska's operational
needs. If determined appropriate to expand the North Satellite baggage system,
authorization would be sought early in 2015. 
Concourse C Vertical Circulation 
Progress on the C-2 sloped walkway has advanced beyond the level reported for the
second quarter, and steel is being installed. 
Elevator pits have been completed, and elevators are expected to be brought on-line
toward the end of October before completion of the walkways by the end of the year. 
The one safety hazard reported was an injury related to tripping over a survey marker
and is being addressed. 
Small Contractor and Supplier participation during design is slightly behind target. 
Main Terminal Improvements 
Landrum & Brown has been selected for the facility determination analysis. 
Coordination with work on the Sustainable Airport Master Plan will be critical, as is
coordination of the architectural components between the Main Terminal and North

Satellite and the configuration of Checkpoint 5 in coordination with the Transportation
Security Administration and Alaska. 
Refurbish Baggage System 
The construction contract for the baggage system refurbishment has been awarded to
M.D. Moore. 
Relocation of the baggage control office has created an additional schedule delay. 
Port Construction Services has completed tunnel work for this project component and
has moved on to abatement. 
Small Contractor and Supplier participation is above forecast for the design phase. 
North Satellite Concourse C and D Exterior Stairs 
This project component, which would enable dual-door operations, remains on hold
pending further decision-making.

Port of Seattle Tourism Development Strategy. 
Office of Social Responsibility 2015 Budget Strategies. 
Presenter(s): Ms. Kilburn and Mr. Navarro. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Tourism 
International tourism and markets with direct long-haul flights to Seattle are the focus of
the Port's Tourism Program. 
Target markets include the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, and China.
Public relations firms are employed in each target country to promote U.S. tourism.
Inbound familiarization trips for foreign media and tour operators are a valuable tool for
promoting Seattle as a tourism destination. 
Results are measured by the number of tour "products," such as tour publications, that
feature Seattle as a destination, advertising equivalency of media coverage, and in-kind
contributions from the state's network of tourism providers. 
In 2013, over 500 tour "products" featured Washington state as a destination. There was
about $27 million in media coverage, and in-kind contributions were over $600,000.
Increasing the economic value of the cruise business, including a pilot project to promote
extending stays in Seattle before or after a cruise, is a goal of the tourism program. 
Options for sustainable funding for the Washington Tourism Alliance (WTA) are still in
development and are closely tied to the alliance's governance structure. A proposal is
due to the Legislature in early December. The Port has invested $255,000 in the WTA

TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2014 
since 2011 in addition to a $5,000 annual membership fee. All of the $250,000 has been
matched, and future funding for the WTA is a future opportunity for the Port. 
In 2013, a task force of Washington ports with an interest in tourism was formed. There
are currently at least 20 in the task force. 
Enhancement of the Port's tourism program is another opportunity for the Port. To
support incremental growth in this program, it is recommended to budget between
$347,000 and $500,000 in 2015. This would fund a public/private mission to the United
Kingdom in 2015 and a cruise business workshop to help local businesses tap into the
cruise market.  At the higher level, it could fund entry into new markets.  Potential
funding for grants to promote local tourism is an opportunity to consider. 
Use of the Airport to market tourism assets elsewhere in the state was discussed. 
Hosting of the U.S. Open Golf Tournament in 2015 at the Chambers Bay Golf Course in
University Place, Washington, was discussed as an opportunity for tourism promotion. 
Office of Social Responsibility 
Efforts of the Office of Social Responsibility (OSR) include the small business program,
workforce development, and community engagement. 
A goal of 35 percent of eligible contracting dollars spent with small businesses is
recommended for 2015. 
Rebranding of the small business program as the "small business and inclusion
program" is also recommended in 2015. 
The direction of the small business program will be affected by a recently completed
disparity study, the results of which are expected to be reported to the Commission in
September. 
[Clerk's Note: At the time of approval of these minutes, reporting on the disparity study
was delayed until December 2014.] 
Workforce development recommendations are expected in September upon completion
of consultant work. 
In 2015, OSR will continue to support community engagement in the Quality Jobs
Initiative, the Clean Truck program, and community forums in the minority, immigrant,
and disadvantaged communities. 
A recommended increase by Port staff of 10 percent in the value of payroll deductions
for the Community Giving Campaign and increased volunteer participation in community
non-profit organizations is proposed. . 
Other goals for OSR in 2015 include updating the small business resolution, Resolution
No. 3618, collection and reporting of ethnicity data in Port contracting relationships,
pursuit of appropriate procurement policy changes based on the findings of the disparity
study, and continued monitoring of compliance with I-200, the State's 1998 initiative to
end discrimination and preferential treatment in public employment, education, and
contracting on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. 
Funding for workforce development program expansion will have to consider Federal
Aviation Administration funding restrictions on use of Airport revenue. Potential alternate
funding sources include the tax levy, general fund, tenant charges, and contractor labor
hour charges.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2014 
Workforce development funding in 2015 is currently recommended at a placeholder
amount of $1.9 million, increased from the 2014 budget of $850,000. With OSR's small
business work and in-kind contributions, the OSR 2015 budget request would be
approximately $3.4 million.  Before the budget amount is requested, more specific
recommendations and consultant findings will be presented.
