PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 
Commissioner Bryant welcomed the participants, noting that the Policy Roundtable format is one to
which members of the community are invited to discuss pertinent issues that will be coming
forward to the Commission. 
Commissioner Bryant stated that the Roundtable being held was the beginning of an extensive
public process related to the Part 150 Noise Study. He noted that there would be another public
workshop related to the Part 150 Study held the following evening at Mt. Rainier High School in
Des Moines from 5:00-7:00 p.m., and he encouraged members of the public to attend and
participate. He also stated that at the March 23, 2010 Commission Meeting, public comment would
be heard related to the topic of the Study. 
Presentation documents: Commission agenda memorandum dated February 18, 2010 from Stan
Shepherd, Manager, Airport Noise Programs and Diane Summerhays, Director, Community
Development. Also provided was a computer slide presentation titled, "Federal Aviation Regulation
Part 150  Aircraft Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study Update.' 
Presenter: Mr. Shepherd 
As background, Mr. Shepherd provided a brief overview of the FAA Part 150 process, noting that a
Part 150 noise study is an opportunity to evaluate the airport's noise impacts on the community
and then evaluate, and possibly modify, some of the noise programs. He stated that the study is
done in partnership with the airport, the FAA, the airport community, and that a major element of
this study is to understand the impacts to the community of the third runway since it was opened
last year. 
Mr. Shepherd spoke about the schedule of the Part 150 process and commented on the
importance of public participation, noting that public input at the public workshops to be held will
drive the scope of the work. 
Elements of discussion by the elected officials during the roundtable included: 
Deputy Mayor Clark, Burien  Importance of openness and of working together. Concern that
planes are flying over areas where they did not in the past, and the possible resulting impacts
to those new areas, including parks in those areas. 
City Manager Piasecki, Des Moines  Importance of looking at all options, and the issue of
how 'reasonable' is defined. He commented on third-runway-related noise which now impacts
the area in which he lives. 
Mayor Kochmar, Federal Way  Federal Way flight tracks into the descent zone is extremely
noisy, and should turn someplace else; also additional noise when heavily loaded aircraft are
taking off from the Airport at night. She commented on the possibility of planes flying over a

less-densely populated area during descent. Primary concerns of Federal Way residents are
related to noise, noting that the number of flights will increase in the future, increasing the
amount of noise. She wants Federal Way's voice to be heard. 
Mayor Hadley, Normandy Park  Importance of focus on noise reduction and mitigation for
people who live here now rather than land use planning for the people who may live here in 20
or 30 years. Concern that Part 150 study is set up to look 5-10 years out, and that land-use
planning is normally done for a much longer time period. Concern of Normandy Park residents
is that the noise had moved closer to them, and that a wooded area which was previously a
noise barrier, is now where the third runway is located. Concern that the study has eliminated
recommendations made by the previous Citizens Advisory Committee, and they should be
reviewed. Concern over single-event noise from heavily loaded aircraft taking off, which
should be included as part of the study. 
Mayor Anderson, SeaTac  SeaTac interested in participating in the Part 150 Study, noting
residents' concern over noise control issues. Thought that third runway was going to be used
mainly for landing, but does not seem to be working out that way  noted difference between
take-off thrust and landing thrust. Anxious to have SeaTac represented on the Technical
Advisory Committee, and noted importance of upcoming workshops for public participation.
Comments in support of a hush house, stating that it would be better than nothing. 
Mayor Haggerton, Tukwila  Stated that Tukwila is not directly impacted by the flight patterns
as some of the other cities currently are, noting that Tukwila is more involved in the area of
land use compatibility. He commented on noise related to engine run-ups done on Sundays,
noting that this issue needs further attention. Concern was noted regarding water run-off
which could be an issue with the new Rental Car Facility. 
Commissioner Tarleton  Commented on a major storm water management system which is
being included as a part of the new Rental Car Facility. Expressed interest in looking at the
single-event noise issue vs. the averaging of other flight noise. Commented on looking at the
issue of the age of fleets and the rate at which they are being replaced. 
Deputy Mayor Clark  Would like to see Sea-Tac Airport and Boeing Field work together
regarding the areas where they share flight tracks, and thus share noise. 
Commissioner Creighton  Commented on the need to continue to work together, not only
through the Part 150 process, but in other areas outside the process, as well. 
Commissioner Holland  Requested the panelists to provide to the staff and Commission
suggestions of people they would like to see participate on the Technical Advisory Committee. 
Deputy Mayor Clark  Suggested that the previous Part 150 Committee be reviewed, noting
that she believes that many recommendations were not fairly looked at. She commented on
the fact that even though people living in the noise-impacted areas pay property taxes, they
must wait for a Part 150 Study to be done before receiving any federal funds to address those
noise issues. She stated that she would like to see a Port Policy change implemented which
would allow Port tax dollars to be used to help that situation. 
City Manager Piasecki  Reiterated the importance of looking at what is reasonable and what
is legal, suggesting that issues such as nighttime curfews or restrictions on certain types of
planes, be left on the table for discussion, and if there are things that seem reasonable for the
Airport and Airlines to do, perhaps a lobbying effort in Washington, DC could be made in an
effort to make changes that are agreed to be reasonable.

Mayor Anderson  Stated that she believes the people of South King County basically feel that
the economy supports the City of Seattle, but not necessarily the area of South King County.
She commented on the importance of the Commissioners maintaining public involvement. 
Mayor Haggerton  Agreed that with the importance of Commissioners connecting directly and
being open with members of the public. 
City Manager Piasecki  Suggested frequent briefings at City Council meetings, which could
have at least one Commissioner in attendance. He also commented on the importance of
having the study-related data available as widely as possible. 
Commissioner Holland  Reiterated the importance of transparency and trust building within
the communities. 
Commissioner Albro  Commented on the importance of Sea-Tac Airport to the region and
surrounding communities, noting that regional areas surrounding airports have
disproportionate impacts compared to other areas. He noted that Part 150 studies are a way
regionally to recognize what those impacts are to local communities and help make sure they
are understood and mitigated according to FAA guidelines. He also asked that staff change
their workplan to have briefings with City Councils, as opposed to only 'on request.' 
Commissioner Tarleton  Requested that staff inquire with each agency as to who, by name,
they would like to have as a representative on the Technical Review Committee. 
Deputy Mayor Clark  Recommended that Commissioners attend upcoming workshops that
will be held related to the Part 150 Process. 
Commissioner Albro  Expressed interest in seeing modeling of noise data for the point where
Sea-Tac Airport reaches 45 million passengers, and what the noise exposure map looks like. 
Mayor Anderson  Noted the importance of looking at air quality issues as well as noise
issues. 
Mayor Hadley  Wondered what the impacts might be of simultaneous events at all three
runways, as well as perhaps two taxiways. 
Mayor Haggerton  Commented on the composition of the current Commission, noting the
opportunity for reaching out to the communities during this process. 
Following the Roundtable, a brief recess was called at 2:10 p.m. and the regular meeting was
reconvened at 2:20 p.m.

Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Creighton, Holland, Tarleton (5) 
b.  (Audio Part 2, 00:04:56) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute a fiveyear
lease, with an option to renew for one additional five-year term, with the Arctic
Storm Management Group, LLC and to provide funds for tenant improvements and
broker fee in the amount of $344,557. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated February 16, 2010 from Melinda
Miller, Director, Portfolio Management and Patricia Spangler, Real Estate Manager 
Presenter: Ms. Miller 
Ms. Miller noted that the property to be leased by Arctic Storm Management is comprised of
approximately 20,000 square feet of office and warehouse space at Pier 69. She stated that when
the Port was notified that the current tenants, Fugro Seafloor Surveys, would vacate at the end of
their current lease in March, 2010, staff immediately reached out to the real estate brokerage
market with leasing offerings in order to locate a new tenant. Arctic Storm Management Group,
who manage fishing vessels, was selected. 
Ms. Miller stated that staff had considered using a formal Request For Proposals (RFP) process for
the selection of a tenant; however, after considering the current market, it was decided to use the
brokerage community instead. She also noted that Arctic Storm Management was just at the end
of their current lease, and had an RFP process been used, the window for Arctic Storm
Management would have passed, and it would have significantly extended the time in order to gain
a tenant.

Presenter: Mr. Graves and Mr. Burke 
Mr. Graves reviewed background of the Item, noting that in May of 2009, staff came to the
Commission to notify them of a construction project on Terminal 25/30 which had encountered the
problem with the cranes which were to be used at that site. The issue was that the cables were too
large to fit into the cable trough that had been constructed for them. He stated that today's request
was related to that issue, and was necessary to finalize the remedy to the initial problem. He
reviewed the solution which was implemented, and also noted that due to the problem, the ability
for the tenant, SSA Terminals, to occupy the Terminal was delayed. 
It was noted that today's authorization would allow for a settlement agreement with SSA related to
rent and other operational impacts during the period that the terminal operation was impacted by
the issues with the cable trough. 
Commissioner Tarleton suggested that in either 2010 or 2011, the Audit Committee review the
background and details of this agreement and how it was reached. She also commented on the
importance of having those details documented.

Director, Airport Operations and George England, Program Leader, Aviation Capital Improvement
Program

which is to be weather-proofed. She noted that small maintenance fixes which have been
attempted have not been successful. 
Mr. England reviewed the scope of the project, noting that the current leakage in the garage not
only affects vehicles in the garage, but can also affect the stability of the garage structure.

He noted that staff hopes to complete this project in one season; however, due to weathersensitivity
of replacing the membrane, it may require two construction seasons. 
Commissioner Tarleton commented on the importance of tracking the sales tax that will be
generated as a result of this large project. Mr. England clarified that as this is a request for design
services, the sales tax information is not routinely included, but will be included when the request
