Minutes Exhibit D Port Commission Regular Meeting of July 10, 2018 Neighbors Advisory Committee Annual Report Presentation to Port of Seattle Commission, 7/10/2018 Prepared Remarks by Bill Winkelman, NAC Chairperson Hello, my name is Bill Winkelman and I am the Facilitator and Chair of the Neighbors Advisory Committee comprised of representatives from the Magnolia Community Council and Queen Anne Community Council along with representatives from the Port of Seattle. I would like to begin by thanking the Port for its support of the NAC. I would also like to acknowledge the role of Rosie Courtney, the primary port representative and staff support for the NAC as well as Pam Xander who prepares minutes for NAC meetings. I would also like to thank the volunteer representatives from each of the community councils and Don Harper of Queen Anne and Fred Rapaport of Magnolia for their assistance in drafting the annual report for 2016 and 2017. The community councils appreciate the Port's commitment to keep NAC informed and the staff's willingness to review project details early on. During 2016 & 2017, NAC was especially appreciative of former Maritime Managing Director Lindsay Pulsifer, who attended many NAC meetings before her retirement and was accessible, engaged, and community focused. I come to this role through 501 Commons, a Seattle nonprofit that administers this engagement, and have been a volunteer consultant with 501 Commons for nearly 15 years. I was not aware of the Terminal 91 Short Fill Development Agreement until approached by 501 Commons as to this role. As a consultant with governance and board development experience, I have been impressed with both the operational functioning of the NAC and the enthusiasm and spirit of the working committee. It fulfills its mission of keeping all parties updated on ongoing issues and upcoming projects. It has been heartening to see the alignment of all parties to adhere to the terms of the Redevelopment Agreement. The NAC also functions as a forum where issues not technically part of the original agreement are addressed, and this flexibility has helped maintain the trust and working relationship of all parties. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve the NAC, please feel free to ask any questions about the annual report or the NAC. Thank you.
