This preserves the resources that would have been used to transport food waste to landfills, avoids production of methane from food decomposing in landfills, and benefits community members in need. The program was started in 2005, composting a few tons of coffee grounds. It has grown to composting 5,000 tons of coffee grounds per year, and 700 meals per week go to a Des Moines area food bank. 8. AUTHORIZATIONS and FINAL ACTIONS 8a. Motion 2019-05: A Motion of the Port of Seattle Commission adopting the charter of the 2019 Aviation Special Committee, as attached, to develop recommendations to the Port of Seattle Commission on meeting the region's air transportation needs at Seattle- Tacoma International Airport for the next 25 years and encouraging cost-effective expansion of domestic and international passenger and cargo service; replacing the charter of the Aviation Special Committee adopted March 13, 2018. [subsequently laid on the table] Request document(s) included motion, charter, and framework summary. Presenter(s): Aaron Pritchard, Commission Policy Manager. This committee was formed in 2018 to provide a system of accountability for aviation projects. The new charter will define the scope of the committee to focus on four areas: the Sustainable Airport Master Plan, Ground Transportation, Long Range Planning, and aviation-related aspects of the Century Agenda. Commissioner Steinbrueck suggested implementation of the Airport Community Ecology fund might fall within the purview of the Aviation Committee. Commissioners discussed the scope of this committee's work in relation to commission oversight of Aviation activities. Without objection, further consideration of agenda item 8a was laid on the table. Agenda item 8b was removed from the agenda prior to publication. 8c. Authorization for the Executive Director to execute a service agreement for a Port-Wide Behavior Based Safety Awareness and Engagement program for an estimated value of $2,350,000 with a contract duration of five years. [subsequently laid on the table] Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum and presentation slides. Presenter(s): Manette Moses, Director Human Resources, Employee Health and Safety, and David Crowner, Manager, Aviation Safety Management Systems. This program would provide training to Port and tenant employees to create a culture that prioritizes safety. The training will involve individual coaching with the goal of motivating individuals to want to be safe, rather than seeing safety measures as something they are required to do. Minutes of April 16, 2019, submitted for review on April 30, 2019, and proposed for approval on May 14, 2019. PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Page 5 of 6 TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 2019 Inquiries were made regarding benchmarks and measurements of success, which staff agreed to deliver. Without objection, further consideration of agenda item 8c was laid on the table. 8d. Authorization for the Executive Director to execute an amendment substantially in the form attached hereto (Attachment 2) to the lease with ATZ Inc. for a term of three years and two one-year options, for operation of the parking facility commonly known as the Doug Fox Parking Lot located north of South 170th Street and east of the Northern Airport Expressway in the City of SeaTac. Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum, presentation slides, and lease amendment. Presenter(s): Jim Schone, Director Aviation Business Development. This lease for operation of the only airport rental car property owned by the port was originally approved in 2013, and included two five-year extension options. This action would exercise the first of those options. Terms of the lease specify that the operator cannot own another airport-area rental car facility in order to ensure that this facility is the company's primary focus. Commissioners discussed the prospect of rebidding the lease. It was noted that during the initial bid process in 2012, there was only one bidder. The port's anticipated need for this space in the near future for other purposes means that rebidding the lease would not likely attract many interested parties; a new operator would not have adequate time to recover capital expenditures associated with establishing business at the site. While this facility consistently exceeds the minimum annual guaranteed revenue, market influences, including operation cost increases and competing industries mean that continued revenue growth is uncertain. The motion for approval of agenda item 8d carried by the following vote: In favor: Calkins, Felleman, Gregoire, Steinbrueck (4) Opposed: Bowman (1) 9. PRESENTATIONS, REPORTS, and STAFF BRIEFINGS 9a. Project Labor Agreement Standard Language. Presentation document(s) included an agenda memorandum, proposed standard language, and Construction Labor Practices policy directive. Presenter(s): Ralph Graves, Senior Director, Capital Development, and David Freiboth, Senior Director, Labor Relations. Standard language for use in all project labor agreements for the next five years has been agreed upon after six months of negotiations between port staff and labor organizations. This language has been used for two contracts in 2019 so far, and will be used for Phase 2 of the Baggage Minutes of April 16, 2019, submitted for review on April 30, 2019, and proposed for approval on May 14, 2019. PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Page 6 of 6 TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 2019 Optimization Project, which is expected to be authorized on April 23, 2019. Staff reported that during the operating strike of summer 2018, port projects were the only ones not affected, due to PLAs. Under the priority hire policy, the port requires contractors to preferentially dispatch people from certain zip codes in economically disadvantaged areas. A 20-percent priority-hire goal will be applied to the main terminal low voltage and north terminal utilities projects. Priority hire will eventually be a feature of all PLA contracts. Commissioners asked for information about data tracking for priority hire, specifically the feasibility of tracking the same data as Sound Transit, King County, and the Washington State Department of Transportation in order to compare benchmarks. It was requested that staff explore migrating to a system that provides for better tracking of the desired data points. 10. QUESTIONS on REFERRAL to COMMITTEE None. 11. ADJOURNMENT There was no further business, and the meeting adjourned at 2:45 p.m. Prepared: Attest: Amy Dressler, Deputy Commission Clerk Peter Steinbrueck, Commission Secretary Minutes approved: May 14, 2019.
