5.     (00:02:11) UNANIMOUS CONSENT CALENDAR 
Item 5a was removed from the Unanimous Consent Calendar for discussion 
a.  Authorization to separate Stormwater Retention Pond M (Pond M) from the other 2010
Airfield Improvement Projects  Contract 2 (AIP-2) and delay construction until 2011. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated May 24, 2010 from Ralph Graves,
Managing Director, Capital Development Division 
Presenter: Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management Group 
Mr. Grotheer noted that the delay of this part of the Airfield Stormwater Improvements program is
being requested, as the State Department of Ecology"s dam safety permit has not yet been
received, and because there is further design and analysis which needs to be completed. He also
noted that this is a project which will need to be completed in the drier summer months, which is
why a one-year delay is being requested. Mr. Grotheer noted that to delay all of the Stormwater
projects is not a favorable option because by so doing, there would be a significant regulatory risk.
Commissioner Tarleton reiterated that staff will be adhering to the permitting process for this work,
commenting on the monetary and regulatory consequences should the project not be completed in
2011.

procedures.

Request documents: Commission agenda memorandum dated May 14, 2010 from Elizabeth
Morrison, Senior Manager, Corporate Finance and copy of proposed Resolution. 
Presenters: Dan Thomas, Chief Financial Officer; Ms. Morrison; and Diane Campbell, Senior
Corporate Financial Analyst 
Mr. Thomas provided introductory comments, noting that staff had previously been before the
Commission to provide a briefing on the plan for selling revenue bonds, both for refunding
purposes to capture interest rate savings, as well as for new money needs at the Airport.
Ms. Morrison commented on the projects expected to be funded by the new proceeds from the
bonds, noting that the cash flows may vary a bit as projects move through their design and
authorization, and stating that the list within the request memo is substantially what is expected to
be used to fund projects. She also clarified that no projects can proceed from this bond issuance 
without appropriate authorization. 
Ms. Campbell noted that at Second Reading and Final Passage of the Resolution, scheduled in
June, staff will seek approval of the sale of the bonds, and that at that time, necessary
amendments to the Resolution will include the parameters under which approval can be made. 
Commissioner Creighton noted that he has some unease with some of the banks staff will be
working with in the bonds issuance, and asked if there might be room to reconsider the banks to be
involved in underwriting team or the negotiated sale team, and whether agreements with the banks
could be structured to exclude banks which received TARP funds or have otherwise acted
recklessly. 
Mr. Thomas responded to Commissioner Creighton"s comments and questions, noting that staff
generally selects a whole team of banks in order to benefit from a variety of areas of expertise,
given the complex nature of the Port"s financings, and that a great deal of criteria is used in making
these decisions. He stated that it might be altering the terms of procurement if there was an
attempt to change the team in the middle of the term we have with them. Staff also clarified that
none of the banks on the current team have been convicted of any wrongdoing, and that in areas
which would affect the Port, there are also no allegations of wrongdoing. 
Commissioner Tarleton noted comments she had recently made in an email to staff suggesting a
review of risk management of the Port"s debt and the way bond refinancing is handled, as an
element of risk analysis through the Audit Committee in their workplan for next year. Mr. Thomas
suggested that this be broadened as a review of overall financial risk management. 
Commissioner Holland reiterated his desire to see more opportunities for greater participation of
minority firms. Staff noted that they will work closely with the Office of Social Responsibility to
address this for the next solicitation. 
Commissioner Creighton again raised the question of whether or not there might be some wiggle
room to rearrange the current agreement the Port has with the underwriting team or the negotiated

sale team, and noted that he would like to receive further clarification from staff. Mr. Thomas
stated that staff will work with the Office of Procurement to answer the question of flexibility.
Commissioner Albro noted his wish to see a look at the total approach to capital, and his desire to
see more of a local influence. Mr. Thomas clarified, in response, that although the banks on the
team are not headquartered in Seattle, they all have local offices. 
Motion for Resolution No. 3637, First Reading, with caveat that staff provide to the
Commission further clarification of details as requested by Commissioner Creighton, prior
to Second Reading and Final Passage - Tarleton

flexibility and quick response of PCS crews, along with their strong knowledge of Port facilities and
operations. 
A review of PCS operations for 2009 was then provided, as well as review of their 2009 expenses. 
Commissioner Tarleton raised a question about the role of PCS as related to tenant inspections
and notifications regarding regulated materials management. She commented on the possibility of
either a city or county need to have a workshop or roundtable to discuss best practices for doing
inspection of public facilities in very constrained circumstances. 
Mr. Rosmond noted that as for PCS, this is a daunting task, simply due to the large number of
facilities in the Seaport.

Commissioner Tarleton suggested to Ms. Kilburn that when she returns for the funding
authorization for this year, all Commissioners have information regarding what has already been
authorized in the budget. 
Public Comment regarding Item 7b was received from the following: 
Fred Felleman, Friends of the Earth, who stated that he would like to see a broader
representation on the Committee, and commented on the importance of keeping history

c.  (01:47:17) Trends and Dynamics in the Aviation Industry 
Presentation documents: Commission agenda memorandum dated May 24, 2010 and computer
slide presentation from Mark Reis, Managing Director, Aviation Division 
Presenter: Mr. Reis 
Mr. Reis provided a brief outline of what would be included in his briefing, as follows: 
Airline Industry Dynamics 
Implications / Issues for Sea-Tac 
Regional Aviation Strategy Trends 
Sustainability Efforts and Issues 
Other Key Strategic Issues 
Mr. Reis briefly addressed results to the Airline industry resulting from a number of economic
challenges beginning with 9/11. He noted that the Airlines overall are challenged to cover their
cost of capital and also reiterated that demand for domestic air travel has not recovered. He also
commented on increasing pressures due to airline fuel costs. 
Mr. Reis commented on a number of areas in which the Airlines have cut expenses, including
bankruptcy. He also noted several areas of revenue enhancement by the Airlines, including
charges for ancillary services, such as providing food, checking bags and imposing fuel
surcharges. 
Consolidation, in a number of ways, was noted by Mr. Reis, as another area in which Airlines
continue to search for benefits to their economic situations. These can include plans anywhere
from codesharing to airline mergers. 
Mr. Reis commented on the difference between Airlines" and Airports" responsibilities, noting that
Airlines tend to have a more short-term commitment to shareholders with ultimately mobile assets,
while Airports would be considered to have more long-term responsibilities to communities, such
as a 50-year investment.

Mr. Reis reviewed a number of areas in which Sea-Tac has been working with Airlines in an
attempt to manage their costs and also commented on the relationship between Cost Per
Enplanement (CPE) fees and capital projects.
Mr. Reis noted the increase in international air service since 2005, and Commissioner Creighton
noted that staff should be commended. 
Responding to Commissioner Creighton"s question about cargo screening and offering more
services in this area, Mr. Reis noted his belief that it is not the best idea for this to take place at the
Airport due to creating resulting bottlenecks. 
Mr. Reis reviewed prospective facility realignment options and improvements for the future, and
stated that staff would be coming to the Commission soon for authorization of related consulting
work and design. 
Also reviewed by Mr. Reis were sustainability efforts made to date and future direction of such
efforts at Sea-Tac, as well as a number of long-term issues which are being looked at.
