people in the community. 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

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.

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

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.
