Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. This authorization is for $229,000 of a total
estimated project cost of $2,087,000. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated August 19, 2010 and computer slide
presentation from James R. Schone, Director, Aviation Business Development and Deanna
Zachrisson, Manager, Aviation Concessions Business 
Presenter: Ms. Zachrisson 
Ms. Zachrisson commented briefly on her previous presentation to the Commission when she
provided an update on the status of the Airport concessions program, noting that she spoke at that
time about the many challenges faced over the past 18 months, and stating that at this point, things
seem to have stabilized and are moving toward the positive, with a number of opportunities for the
future.
She noted that the request being made today is to ask for support for a further development of the
concessions program at the Airport, which will both improve revenues and improve customer
offerings to the traveling public. She stated that the specific opportunity is for duty-free business.
She said that a strong field of contenders is expected, as a result of an RFP which was issued
earlier this year.
Ms. Zachrisson reviewed artist renderings of the areas of current and proposed duty-free locations
within the terminal. She also emphasized that duty-free business is an area that requires a
significant level of expertise, as it is quite unique and highly regulated, and she expects that the
contenders for this business will be the established duty-free companies.
Ms. Zachrisson noted that should today's request be authorized by the Commission, anticipated
dates of occupancy for the new locations would range between January and March of 2011.
Commissioner Albro commented on sales per square foot in the various locations, and raised the
questions of how various use of spaces compare and how the decision had been made to use
these locations for duty-free.
Ms. Zachrisson responded, noting that in most instances, duty-free will provide higher revenues
than regular specialty retail. She also reiterated that any traveling passenger is allowed to buy
from duty-free locations, with the only restriction that they cannot purchase tobacco or alcohol. 
Commissioner Albro commented that it would be helpful for him to see an analysis of how uses are
determined for various spaces in the terminal, and noted that there may be a place for more
flexibility to allow the private sector to respond to the demand.

McWilliams, Managing Director, Real Estate and Craig Watson, General Counsel 
Presenter: Mr. McWil liams 
Mr. McWilliams referred to a discussion which had been held earlier with Commissioners on this
subject, and noted that this request is to establish a value for the jail site being sold to a consortium
of south Sound cities. He stated that this is the result of a settlement which was negotiated during
mediation in August of this year. He said that in addition to the value being established, also
addressed are various access issues at the site. The settlement also resolves what would have
been pending litigation.

The second tier of coverage includes, among others, fiduciary coverage, which covers the liability
of the Port's employee benefit plans, and crime coverage, which covers dishonest acts of Port
employees. 
Mr. Hollingsworth then commented on factors of consideration which contribute to premium rates,
which include, among others: 
Operating and capital budgets of the Port 
Past claims history 
Payroll 
Size of fleet 
Mr. Hollingsworth stated that the period of coverage for this renewal will be from October 1, 2010 to
October 1, 2011. He also noted that as part of the renewal process, Risk Management networks
with other port and airport entities to check on market limits available, as well as deductibles and
coverage exclusions or enhancements that are available. At that time, the Port submits their
completed application packages to the Port's broker. 
Responding to Commissioner Albro's question as to what changes were made to the coverage in
the years 2008-2010, Mr. Hollingsworth stated that recommendations had been made from the
broker to use a blended premium for several the areas to be covered, as opposed to having three
separate premiums for those three areas, a resulting of which was cost to the Port. 
Mr. Hollingsworth stated that staff expects to receive renewal proposals next week from the broker,
which will result in discussions with the various divisions before finalizing the renewal. He noted
that the assumptions going into these discussions are that an attempt will be made to keep things
flat for the year, and that the total cost is estimated to be $675,000 to $700,000. 
Mr. Hollingsworth responded to Commissioner Creighton's question about self-insuring, noting that
staff regularly looks at this, particularly in the area of risk as well as the ability for staff to adjust
related claims in a cost-effective manner.

He then reviewed a summary of the projects for the Aviation, Seaport; Real Estate and Corporate 
Divisions, including quarterly reportable variances of each.
Specific to the ICT department within the Corporate Division, the following two areas with schedule
variances were mentioned: 
Business Continuity 
Insufficient power in the Airport data center required unplanned infrastructure upgrades for
the new High Capacity Realtime Storage Device.
Internet Redesign 
!n 2nd quarter 2010, an RFP was advertised for an implementation vendor to assist with the
design and development of the new Port of Seattle website. Unfortunately, there were
limited responses (only one) and the Central Procurement Office is in the process of readvertising
for the procurement request. This will delay the estimated completion until 
June 2011. 
Responding to Commissioner Tarleton's question as to what staff attributes only receiving one
response to the RFP for the website redesign, and why they are now expecting multiple responses,
Mr. Garlock stated that he believes there were issues when the first RFP was issued in getting the
word out to the kind of companies that do this type of work.
Mr. Garlock then informed staff that he would be returning to Commission in the near future to
request authorization to re-implement the Port's financial system, noting that the current software
being used was last upgraded about seven years ago, and is running old infrastructure, leaving the
system more and more at risk.
c.  (01:03:01) ITEM WITHDRAWN Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Airport) Taxi
Service Briefing 
Commissioner Bryant stated that, for the public's information, the Port recently received a motion
for summary judgment related to the issues identified for this discussion of Item 7c, and as a result,
the Item would be removed from the agenda. He stated that anyone present to comment on the
subject would be allowed to do so, however, under New Business. 
8.   NEW BUSINESS 
Public comment regarding Item 7c (Airport Taxi Service) was received from the following
individuals: 
Ron Dotzauer commented on the Port's approach to the Taxi contract bid, stating his belief
that the process was flawed and needs to be re-evaluated. 
Mike Goldfarb, attorney for STITA. Mr. Goldfarb commented on changes which he
believed were added to the contract after the last time it came before the Commission, and
spoke specifically about the issue of deadheading.

Chester Gul, STITA Taxi. Mr. Gul thanked the Commission for allowing time for comment
on this topic, and requested that his time be allocated to the attorney for further comments.
The request was denied. 
Dharam Dal Singh, STITA Taxi. Mr. Singh requested that Commission review STITA's
case related to the taxi contract decision. 
Harpreet Bassi, STITA Taxi. Mr. Bassi commented on prior Commission discussions
regarding the percentage of taxis which will be required to be 'green.' 
Jesse Buttar, STITA Taxi. Mr. Buttar commented on the contract with Yellow Cab to
provide taxi services at the Airport. He raised the question of whether or not the
Commissioners had reviewed and approved changes to the contract before it was signed. 
John Ruhl, speaking on behalf of STITA. Mr. Ruhl stated his belief that the contract signed
with Yellow Cab in August 2010 is not the contract which was attached to the RFP in the
fall of 2009, or the contract that was attached at the December 15, 2009 presentation to
the Commission. He stated that it does not include crucial information that Yellow Cab had
made in its bid. He asked that the contract be set aside and that all companies be allowed
to re-bid. 
Commissioner Holland thanked those who had given public comment, and noted the importance of
being able to do so. He then stated that he had some areas of concern, noting that he does not
believe that the decision to go ahead with the contract as is is the right thing to do. He said he
would like to see additional information on items presented during public comment, specifically
things mentioned by Mr. Goldfarb. He also commented that there are issues concerning
deadheading.
9.   POLICY ROUNDTABLE 
None. 
10.  ADJOURNMENT 
There being no further business, the regular meeting was adjourned at 2:38 p.m.
