PORT OF SEATTLE COMMISSION 
2018 ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY 
SPECIAL COMMITTEE CHARTER 
Adopted March 27, 2018 
I.   INTRODUCTION 
The Port of Seattle's Century Agenda outlines a strategic objective to become the greenest and
most energy efficient port in North America and sets specific greenhouse gas reduction targets. 
An  Energy and Sustainability Committee was originally chartered  by the Port of Seattle
Commission on January 26, 2016. On October 24, 2017, the commission passed a motion
supporting the committee's recommendation to align the port's greenhouse gas reduction
goals with those of King County and the City of Seattle and instructing port staff to develop a
Sustainability Evaluation Framework to assist the Port in meeting its greenhouse gas reduction
and sustainability goals.
Pursuant to the 2017 motion, the framework was to be developed over the course of 2018
through a series of pilot projects to be identified. The pilot projects will help determine how to
incorporate  environmental  and  social  considerations  and  create  transparency  for  the
Commission's review of project proposals.Adoption of the 2017 motion concluded the work
outlined in the 2016 Energy and Sustainability Committee Charter. 
The purpose of this new committee, which shall be called the 2018 Energy and Sustainability
Special Committee, is to develop policy recommendations and provide oversight in pursuit of
the port's Century Agenda environmental and sustainability goals. The committee shall conduct
its work in the context of other Century  Agenda goals, the 2017 motion, and continued
commitment to fiscal responsibility and social equity and justice. 
II.  COMPOSITION 
The 2018 Energy and Sustainability Special Committee will consist of two Port of Seattle
Commissioners appointed by the President after consultation with the full commission at the
beginning of each calendar year in which the committee is active. Non-voting members from
within and outside the port may be invited to participate at the discretion of the committee. 
III. SCOPE OF WORK 
The work of the 2018 Energy and Sustainability Special Committee shall include the following: 
A.  Oversee the development of a Sustainability Evaluation Framework and pilot projects,
including:

1.  Review and recommend to the commission a port-wide Sustainability Evaluation
Framework to assist the port in meeting its greenhouse gas reduction and
sustainability goals.
2.  Review  the  selection  of  four  pilot  projects,  divided  between  the  airport  and
maritime, beginning with a solar project on Pier 69, to test and validate the
framework and determine how to incorporate the following environmental and
societal  components  into  the  framework  to  be  used  to  better  inform  the
commission of project proposals that: 
a.  Reduce greenhouse gas emissions 
b.  Increase energy resilience 
c.   Protect public health and the environment 
d.  Support local economic development 
e.  Advance racial and social equity 
f.   Leverage partnerships 
g.   Advance innovation 
B.  Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) strategy development and implementation oversight,
including: 
1.  Review and recommend to the commission the final strategic plan as directed by the
commission's December 19, 2017, motion and informed by the "Port of Seattle and
(Airlines)" memorandumof understanding agreed to in the Airline Signatory Lease
and Operating Agreement IV (SAF MOU) and work with the Sustainable Aviation
Biofuels Workgroup established by the Office of Clean Technology at Washington
State University to share progress. 
2.  Oversee the development of the strategic plan agreed to in the SAF MOU to reduce
carbon emissions and air pollutants, and the community and environmental impacts
from existing and forecasted aviation growth at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. 
3.  Track efforts to establish a regional source of SAF at a commercially competitive rate
and ensure a commitment from the airlines that they will use SAF preferentially to
meet goals specified in the commission's December 19, 2017, motion. 


2018 Energy and Sustainability Committee Charter                                          Page 2 of 6

4.  Track  initiatives  to ensure  cost-competitiveness  for  SAF through  a  variety  of
methods that are not mutually exclusive, and as stated in the December 19, 2017, 
motion, to include: 
a.  Work with airlines to support state and federal legislation establishing a costeffective
low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) consistent with bills, executive
orders, policies, and regulations implemented in the states of California and
Oregon and the province of British Columbia; or similar provision that includes
options for aviation tax credits as well as tax credits for use of marine and onroad
renewable diesel. 
b.  Work with airlines to advocate to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
federal and state legislators, regulatory agencies, industry groups, and other
partners for use of airport revenues to offset costs of SAF through their cobenefits
to human health and the environment.
c.   Work with airlines to advocate to the FAA for new grant programs, or to adjust
existing Voluntary Airport Low Emissions (VALE) grant programs to support SAF
through their co-benefits. 
d.  Seek mutual financial investments with the port and its partners. 
5.  Work with port staff and local, state, and federal decision-makers to develop a
comprehensive, coordinated series of events to engage interested stakeholders
along the value chain including but not limited to: farmers, financiers, bio-refiners,
logistics operators, as well as end-users such as Washington state ferries, cruise
lines, tug boat operators, other harbor craft, truck operators, fishing boats, the
United States Coast Guard, and the Department of Defense. 
6.  Work with Public Affairs to develop a strategic communications plan tailored to
the commission's SAF goals that positions the Port of Seattle as a leader in the SAF 
industry locally, nationally, and internationally. 
7.  Review and recommend sustainability certification standards for SAF. 
C.  Blue Carbon Policy Development, including: 
1.  Develop a blue carbon policy in collaboration with the University of Washington
for incorporation into the port's aquatic habitat restoration work. Blue carbon is
the carbon stored and sequestered in coastal ecosystems such as wetlands,
seagrass meadows, or intertidal saltmarshes. These valuable ecosystems hold vast
carbon reservoirs; they sequester atmospheric CO2 through primary production
and then deposit it in sediments. 

2018 Energy and Sustainability Committee Charter                                          Page 3 of 6

a.  Oversee and support the port's progress on its pilot project that includes
planting eelgrass, kelp, and potentially developing clam beds near Terminal 91
to capture carbon and improve water quality. The results to assess the efficacy
of the carbon sequestration pilot program will take several years, after which
potential applications for Port of Seattle mitigation efforts and innovative uses
of mitigation will be the focus of the committee's work. 
b.  Work with the University of Washington to engage graduate students in the
studies  and  review  of  the  scientific  literature  to  inform  future  policy
development. 
D.  Environmental Awards Update, including: 
1.  Review and recommend to the commission an updated approach to the Port of
Seattle's environmental awards to: 
a.  Create a rigorously vetted environmental award in collaboration with port
stakeholders in the maritime, aviation, labor,  and environmental justice 
sectors; and 
b.  Elevate the public's awareness of the  port's  support  for  environmental
innovation by generating media attention to the awards.

activities: 
A.  Review and recommend a Sustainable Framework Policy Directive and

Major Proposed Waterfront Projects 
Community Engagement Planning  WORKING DRAFT (to be
redeveloped into a 2019 master document w/waterfront as a part of that) 
The Port of Seattle's vision for a working waterfront: 
Jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities for the next generation 
Cleaner sources of energy 
Benefits for healthy habitats and communities 
Stakeholder Outreach Overview 
This document begins to identify community engagement to support the Maritime Capital
Investment Plan adopted by the Port Commission in November 2019. Each of these capital projects
will require tailored community outreach planning and execution depending on the impact, interest,
and spectrum of stakeholder influence (from informing to consulting to empowering stakeholders
with decisions on elements of the projects). The Port conducted stakeholder outreach and
communications prior to the Port Commission's budget decisions on the 5-year plan of finance. A
public open house was held on November 19, 2018 for stakeholders to learn more before the budget
was adopted on November 27, 2018.
Early in 2019, staff proposes to conduct additional broad reaching outreach to gain stakeholder input
on the overall plan using Town Halls format in key areas of King County. This document will be kept
up-to-date as additional information is gathered on timing and elements for each project. In
addition, CIP projects and key messages will be delivered through the Port's annual outreach
programs such as 38 Cities presentations, annual Chamber of Commerce "State of the Ports",
Mayors'/Elected Officials Breakfast, Port U Adult Education Series (Unplugged and 101s), Working
Waterfront boat tours, Community Festivals (Seattle Maritime, Duwamish River and Fishermen's Fall
Festival), Maritime and Seafood 101 Industry Promotions, and Connect@Amazon tour series.

TERMINAL 117 SHORELINE PUBLIC ACCESS AND HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECT 
Description                  Creates 13 acres of fish and wildlife habitat that will contribute to the
Century Agenda goal to "create, restore, or enhance 40 additional
acres of habitat in the Green-Duwamish Watershed and Elliott Bay."
Project will benefit community and environmental health through
investments in fish and wildlife habitat restoration and access to
parks and green space. Shoreline public access will be incorporated
benefitting near-Port neighbors. Facilities will include a hand-carry
boat launch, pier, elevated viewpoint, seating, bike rack, lighting,
public art and trails. 
Project Objectives            Shoreline public access features will benefit near-Port
neighborhood of South Park, an environmental justice community
in the Duwamish Valley that the Port is partnering with. 
Create fish and wildlife habitat supporting regional salmon and
endangered species recovery goals. 
Provide environmental education. 
Total Cost                    $17.9 million is Commission requested amount. Note that this is not
the full project cost; additional funding has been secured through
other sources. The project is still pending agency and tribe approvals.

SHORE POWER AT PIER 66 
Description                  Waterfront electrification benefits the community and environmental
health through investments to reduce maritime emissions, improve air
quality and reduce greenhouse gas impacts. This is an important step in
the Port's plan to provide reliable, efficient, clean and resilient power
throughout the harbor. 
As a first step, the Port will partner with Seattle City Light to install
shore power at Pier 66 to serve cruise ships, either through traditional
utility lines or potentially by bringing power to the facility through a
submarine cable from Terminal 46. Cruise ship access to clean 
electricity helps reduce their use of fossil fuels while at Port. 
In the longer term, the Port will also convene a stakeholder group to
develop a Strategic Waterfront Energy Plan. The plan will identify key
project partners, resource needs and timeline to establish the
infrastructure and investments necessary to increase maritime energy
loads over time, manage costs, maintain rate affordability, and leverage
Seattle City Light's clean electricity to decarbonize Seattle's waterfront
industry and Port operations.

Project Objectives             Develop a shore power system for the cruise ship berth at Pier 66. 
Build upon the success of the two existing shore power berths at
the T91 Smith Cove Cruise Terminal and plans to provide shore
power at T5 by creating a Strategic Waterfront Energy Plan. The
plan will identify infrastructure investments necessary to add new
maritime energy loads over time, manage costs, maintain rate
affordability, and leverage Seattle City Light's clean electricity. 
Total Cost                    $30 Million

SAF Fund- Development of fund and implementation beginning Q1. 

Commissioner Steinbrueck 
Port Tree Strategy: Port Environmental staff will develop a comprehensive Port-wide tree
inventory plan and comprehensive tree policy with funds approved in the 2019 budget. The
airport is currently working on a land stewardship strategy/plan, which will be completed in
2019. 
Art Strategy: Commission staff will clarify whether additional commission action is
needed to forward a port-wide 1% for art program requirement on all future capital
projects. The 2019 budget outlined the airport uses a ".5% for the arts" model for all
capital projects, like many public agencies in our state do. The budget stated that if
directed by commission, an increase to 1% could be achievable. Maritime was excluded
from this requirement and the % reduced from 1 to .5 following the recent recession. 
Staff will move forward with executing that action, if directed by the Commission art
"committee". The airport art staff position will be expanded to have responsibility for
inventory and stewardship of Port-wide art. 
Orca Task Force Implementation: Staff is currently evaluating the recommendations of the
task force and submitting comments. We will be looking for specific task force
recommendations that have a policy nexus with our work on water quality,
contamination, habitat, noise and public/tenant education. Commissioner Steinbrueck is
interested in the Port hosting a follow-up meeting with maritime stakeholders. Timeline:

others. Timeline: Early Q1 develop plan and execute throughout the year.

address the ever increasing scheduling and policy complexity of the Port of Seattle Commissioner portfolio.
The Commissioner Specialists will report directly to the Issues and Policy Manager, with the goal of creating a
seamless, team-oriented atmosphere that anticipates Commissioners needs and fulfills policy related requests.
The Commission Work Plan is intended to guide the team and create a division of labor among the Specialists
depending on which Commissioner the Specialist has been assigned to cover. Three Specialists will be hired,
two of the specialists will cover two Commissioners each. One Specialists will be assigned to cover the 
President of the Commission. Specialists are not staff for individual Commissioners, but serve a one-year
rotation, including the Specialists assigned to the President. Decisions on how Specialists are assigned will be
determined by the Chief of Staff and Issue and Policy Manager in consultation with Commissioners and staff.

response.
"Thank you for writing. | have passed along your inquiry and will be in touch with a full reply
soon."
OR
- Commissioner sends response that answers question or hands off to specialist to craft
response.
- Final response comes from Commissioner or Commission email depending on preference of
Commissioner.

Group Commissioner Email

- Standard response comes from Commission email thanking constituent and promising a
response soon.
- Commission office drafts a response within 5 work days.





- President signs off on response and sends from his/her email within 3 work days.

- Ifa Commissioner sends a response to a group email, the Commissioner should cc colleagues
and specialist to avoid duplicate emails and to alert the constituent that all Commissioners are

aware of the correspondence.

- If Commissioners have different positions on a subject matter, multiple email
responses can be
sent,although this is not ideal. A better approach would be to work together on a single

response from the President.

Port
of Seattle: PROCESS OVERVIEW

To:    Port of Seattle Commission

From: Tunny Vann

cc:      Mike Merritt, Aaron Pritchard, Commission Specialists, Patti Ward

Date:  January 25, 2019

Re:    Commission Correspondence Process

Topline:

The purpose of this packet is to clarify the process for managing correspondence within the Commission
Office. Correspondence management and tracking responsibilities will be shifting from the Policy team
to the Administrative team. Drafting responsibilities will largely remain with the policy team.

Issues:

- Current process makes tracking and running status reports difficult.





- Commissioners sometimes respond directly to a constituent without informing staff or their
colleagues of their response, which often leads to one constituent receiving a separate response
from each Commissioner.

Opportunity:

Transitioning the tracking responsibilities of correspondence to the Administrative Team, Tunny and
Patti, will free up time for the Policy Team to work on policy. Furthermore, having a dedicated team to
manage correspondence will increase capacity for the office to run reports, improve response times,
and have better control on messaging.

Impact: 
How do you feel your work impacts the Port overall? Put another way, what would the impact to the Port be if no
one performed the Essential Functions of your work? 
Without this role there would continue to be a critical gap in producing policy research and proposals that
enable Commissioner to perform their duties. It would be harder to execute the Port's mission and achieve its
goals, because there would be less coordination and collaboration between the Port and Commission on policy
matters. Supvisory role will allow Chief of Staff to monitor political hot topics, while creating an effective team
to cover day to day issues and to meet Commissioners needs.
