PORT OF SEATTLE 
MEMORANDUM 
COMMISSION AGENDA               Item No.      4a 
ACTION ITEM 
Date of Meeting    November 25, 2014 
DATE:    November 17, 2014 
TO:      Ted Fick, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:   Larry Ehl, Commission Chief of Staff 
Paul J. White, Commission Clerk 
SUBJECT:  Amendment to Approved Minutes of the August 5, 2014, Regular Meeting 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission adoption of an amendment to the approved minutes of the regular meeting
of August 5, 2014, to add an inadvertently omitted vote. 
BACKGROUND 
The minutes of the regular meeting of August 5, 2014, were approved unanimously by the Port
Commission on September 30, 2014. It was subsequently discovered that the vote for Consent
Agenda items 4a-4e, inclusive, and item 4g was accidentally omitted from the August 5 minutes
approved and signed that day.
Since correcting this oversight involves insertion of the deciding vote for six agenda items, staff
is requesting an amendment rather than treating the omission as a scrivener's error.
Amendment of the August 5 minutes would insert on page 3, immediately above Public
Testimony, the motion for passage by Commissioner Creighton, seconded by Commissioner
Albro, and the unanimous vote of all five Commissioners. This is the vote recorded by the Clerk
and published immediately following the August 5 meeting in the annotated agenda for that
meeting. Video and audio recordings of the meeting also show an affirmative, unanimous vote.
Agenda item 4f was not approved by the vote on August 5, but rather was laid on the table
without objection.
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1)  Leave the August 5 regular meeting minutes as approved, without a vote on the
day's Consent Agenda.  This would remove approval of six authorizations from the
Commission's official record. These authorizations would have to be re-authorized in public
session in order for them to legitimately proceed. This is not the recommended alternativ e. 


Template revised May 30, 2013.

Alternative 2)  Approve the amendment described above and complete the official record of
actions already taken by the Commission in public session.  This is the recommended
alternative.
