a.   Approval of the Century Agenda Committee's preliminary goals for "Moving Cargo" and approval of a refined Century Agenda goal for
"Fostering Economic Growth." 1) The current recommendations for the "Moving Cargo" preliminary goals include: a) Position the Puget
Sound region as a premier international logistics hub. b) Grow seaport annual container volume in a sustainable manner to more than 3.5
million TEUs. c) Triple air cargo volume to 750,000 metric tons. d) Increase the value of our export cargo from $13.9 billion to $55 billion. 2)
The current recommendation for the Century Agenda Committee's refined goal for "Fostering Economic Growth" is to "Add 100,000 new Portrelated
jobs to the existing 200,000 jobs in the region that are attributable to the economic activity created by the Port of Seattle." in the next
25 years. (memo enclosed) 
b.   Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to: 1) Complete permitting and design of an expanded fish and wildlife habitat restoration project
at Terminal 117 (T-117) for an estimated cost of approximately $3,021,000; and 2) execute a contract for outside professional services to
complete the permitting and design of the habitat restoration project at T-117. (memo and site map enclosed) 
c.   Request that the Port Commission either select Option A or, as an alternative, select Option B: (A) Exercise its authority under RCW
53.19.020(5) and (1) determine that a competitive solicitation process is not appropriate or cost effective to procure medical claims
administration services and dental claims administration services for 2012; and (2) authorize the Chief Executive Officer to enter into new oneyear

OR, AS AN ALTERNATIVE: 
(B) Direct Port staff to return the Port sponsored medical and dental plans to fully insured status and secure medical and dental coverage
