second reading on November 27, 2012. Mr. Yoshitani noted that there is a short amount of time
between the second reading and the statutorily required filing of the budget on December 5, 2012. 
He commented on the importance of the discussion of the tax levy, and recommended the 
Commissioners reach a decision about the tax levy before the meeting on November 27, 2012. 
Commissioner Albro requested a briefing in September regarding the funding plan for Port's portion
of the Washington State Department of Transportation's deep-bored tunnel project.

for non-represented staff, 2.2-percent increase in health benefits, a public employee's retirement
system (PERS) increase of 8.5 percent, and that represented employees receive a pay increase
based on cost of living adjustments, which for most contracts is an increase of 0-6 percent.  Mr.

adjustment and only receive a merit pay increase.

noted the surveys used to assess the market and help inform payroll assumption decisions are just
being published.  She commented that the Port's financial outlook is also incorporated into the

consultant to develop a health care strategy that will ensure the Port's health plans align with both
