1.  Amend Resolution No. 3637 
2.  Second Reading and Final Passage of Resolution No. 3637, as amended 
Request Document: Commission agenda memorandum dated June 16, 2010 from Elizabeth
Morrison, Senior Manager, Corporate Finance and Diane Campbell, Senior Financial Analyst. Also
provided was a copy of the Resolution. 
Presenters, Dan Thomas, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer and Ms. Campbell 
Ms. Campbell provided information on the Resolution and the amendments, which are related to
establishing parameters under which the Series 2010 Bonds can be sold, along with minor
administrative changes to clarify language or correct errors. Ms. Campbell clarified that if the
Bonds cannot be sold within these parameters prior to September 20, 2010, further Commission
action will be required. She noted that one additional amendment is the appointing of the Bank of
New York Trust Company as the escrow agent.
Ms. Campbell acknowledged two members of the Port's finance team present, Richard Schober of
Seattle Northwest Securities and Cynthia Weed of K&L Gates. 
Mr. Thomas called attention to the fact that the actual amount of the refunding savings is estimated
at $10 million over the remaining life of the Bonds, and noted that this information was also
included in the memo regarding this item.
He then addressed several questions which were raised at First Reading regarding the Port's
underwriting team, specifically related to some of the Wall Street firms which had been involved in
some of the sub-prime mortgage issues and received TARP funding through the Federal
Government and also questions related to participation of small businesses.
He clarified that the makeup of the underwriting team, was put together through an RFP process
several years ago, and noted that there is some flexibility to make modifications to that team, but
do not currently recommend doing so. With respect to the TARP funding question, he stated that
he doesn't believe TARP funding indicates any wrongdoing or unethical behavior on the part of any
particular firm, noting that the purpose of the TARP program in general was to provide enhanced
liquidity in the financial system, ideally resulting in increased lending at a time of significant
economic downturn. Mr. Thomas noted that firms on our team who have received TARP funding
have returned/repaid it. He commented on the importance of having a large and robust
underwriting team, and noted the excellent service which has been provided by the current team. 
Regarding small business participation, Mr. Thomas stated that we do, and always have had small
business representation on the Port's finance team, and noted that related to this specific
transaction, it is far enough into the process that it would be difficult to make major changes, and
stated that best efforts would be made to broaden, to the extent possible, that participation.
Mr. Schober responded to questions regarding uses of the bonds proceeds as well as questions
related to the 2001B First Lien Bonds.

focus on safety as well as resulting improvements in operations and a significant reduction in

of the Ramp Tower is the best method, rather than developing and hiring a staff that could take it
over. 
Related to Commissioner Albro's questions, Commissioner Tarleton commented that with the
structure of the proposed contract for an initial term of three years with options to then extend,
would allow for the opportunity to evaluate whether or not this is the most effective way to proceed,

Presenter: Mr. Hollingsworth 
Mr. Hollingsworth commented on the three structural components of the Property Insurance

of the insurers.
Related to deductibles, the following areas were reviewed:

$350 Million Terrorism 
$100 Million Equipment Breakdown

Responding to Commissioner Creighton's question as to how the current economic situation may
impact the ratings of the Port's insurers, Mr. Hollingsworth noted that as the program is layered,
there has not been a need to rebalance.
Commissioner Albro raised a question regarding earthquake coverage, and a possible related
tsunami, specifically as to whether it would be considered a flood or an earthquake issue, Mr.

Commissioner Tarleton raised the question of whether or not the Port may be able to purchase
insurance which we could extend to critical partners in the trade corridors, such as businesses in
the Kent Valley. Mr. Hollingsworth stated that he is not aware of any coverage that the Port could
purchase that could be extended to them. Commissioner Tarleton expressed that it might be
something that could be looked into with the State Insurance Commissioner and with the region as
a whole, because economic impacts of the Port being disrupted are much greater that our property
values.
Related to coverage for Capital Projects, Mr. Hollingsworth noted that the Port has separate
policies for both the Rental Car Facility and the East Marginal Grade Separation Project.
8.   NEW BUSINESS 
(01:58:03) Possible Port Contribution to Funding of Construction of new South Park Bridge 
Commissioner Bryant commented his contact from King County Executive Dow Constantine,
requesting a meeting to discuss possible authorization on the part of the Port for $5 Million to
support the construction of a new South Park Bridge, and noted that the Commission has
discussed this item a number of times in the past. He noted that he told Mr. Constantine that he
would bring his request to the Port Commission, and stated that today would be a public discussion
of the request.
Commissioner Tarleton spoke about the importance of supporting communities and the long-term
economic value to doing so. She expressed her support of the contribution being requested, and
proposed that the Port include in it the $500,000 worth of land that is part of the equation that the
County needs to replace the bridge.
Commissioner Creighton commented that the South Park community has been supportive of the
Port's industrial activities. He spoke in support of the request for a contribution to the new bridge,
but also noted that the Port is an agency with limited resources and stated that he believes going
forward, the Commission and Port should come up with a set of criteria regarding where best to
allocate the Port's funds. 
Commissioner Holland expressed his support of the requested $5 million contribution. He also
commented on his support of local communities and spoke about possible future restructuring of
local county government as well as more public-private partnerships.
Commissioner Albro acknowledged the tremendous outreach extended to the Port Commission by
the South Park Community and various labor organizations, noting the connection to social,
environmental and economic justice; however, stated that he does not support this request for
contributing to this project. He noted that he does not want the Port to enable the way in which 
many decisions of this type are being made.
Commissioner Bryant noted his belief that this is related to social and environmental justice, but is
not sure this should fall on the Port of Seattle, and that perhaps the County should have
considered funding the replacement more seriously long ago. He agreed with comments made by

Commissioner Albro that the bigger issue is that systems and structures are no longer meeting 21st 
Century needs, and stated his belief that we need to re-evaluate how we set priorities in our
transportation spending.
Following Commission discussion, Commissioner Bryant stated that the Port would commit up to
$5 million, subject to the Port's budget process this Fall. Commissioner Bryant stated that he
would work with staff to develop a letter and communicate this intent to the King County Executive.
He also stated that before the final, final decision is made, criteria needs to be established to do
this in a way that does not increase taxes and does not sacrifice the deferred maintenance
program which is already in place.
