The Commission advanced to the following agenda item, which was removed from the Unanimous
Consent Calendar for separate discussion and vote, as noted above  
4f.   Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to prepare design and construction bid
documents for the Parking Garage Lighting project at Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport. This authorization is for $1,243,000 of a total estimated project cost of
$6,235,700 (CIP #C800581). 
Request document(s) provided by David Soike, Director, Aviation Facilities and Capital Program, 
and Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project Management Group: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated June 16, 2014. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Soike and Mary Todd, Senior Infrastructure Systems Engineer, Conservation. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport parking garage has over 65,000 light fixtures.
Upgrading light fixtures from the current 150 watt fixtures to LED fixtures can reduce
energy consumption in the garage by over 60 percent and serve  long-term 
environmental goals. 
Extra lighting is required on the first floor and for the fourth floor Customer Service 
facility. The Airport's Facilities Department is not large enough to effectively perform The
design to be contracted to an outside firm. 
Actual replacements will be performed over the next few years by Port staff. A possible
need for extra staff is included in the budget. 
The Department of Commerce has assured a grant of approximately $500,000 if work
can commence by June. 
Use of a possible Bonneville Power Administration grant of $250,000  is under
consideration. This funding could be used instead for other Airport conservation projects.

Request document(s) provided by Joe McWilliams, Managing Director, Real Estate Division: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated June 9, 2014. 
Resolution No. 3692. 
Real Estate Sale and Purchase Agreement. 
Ancillary Property Purchase and Sale Agreement. 
Presenter(s): Mr. McWilliams. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The property comprises 2 miles of land, the last remaining Port-owned portion of the
Eastside Rail Corridor, originally purchased by the Port of Seattle from BNSF Railway in
2009. 
The purchase price is $1.1 million in the aggregate, paid to the Port by the City of
Woodinville. This price is consistent with the sale to Snohomish County. 
Purchase will take place as two separate transactions, closing contemporaneously with
one another, due to the property being bifurcated north to south. 
Besides the purchase price, the City will also provide an environmental indemnity, in
benefit of the Port.

Presenter(s): Mr. Soike and Lynn Oliphant, Aviation Infrastructure System Engineer, Aviation
Facilities and Infrastructure. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport has successfully undertaken two previous
mechanical energy conservation projects, yielding annual savings of over $15,000 a
year. It has similar expectations for this project. 
Stage III of the project aims to replace old constant-volume heating and cooling units
with modern variable-volume types. This is a continuation of work done in stages I and
II.  The project will optimize chilled water pumping to reduce the pressure drop and
electrical load; and upgrade air conditioning equipment in the electrical and computer
rooms to use higher chilled-water cooling temperatures and augment the waterside
economizer mode. 
The project will implement controls to reduce the energy required for heating and cooling
on the terminal's ticketing level. 
Additional scope includes optimization of central mechanical plant chillers and recovery
of heat from condensate in the main terminal for domestic water heating. 
Stage III main costs are design and project management. 
A ten percent or higher return is expected on investments. 
The Airport aims to stay at or below the 2010 electrical load of 17.359 megawatts, which
it is currently doing. 
The airlines have unanimously approved this project.

TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 2014 
Presenter(s): Mr. Graves. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The Airport currently has four new projects behind schedule and is experiencing delays
in its annual Airfield Improvement Project. The Rental Car Baggage Claim Renovation 
project (C800541) is complete. 
There are no new variances in Seaport and Real Estate projects. The Pier 69 North 
Apron Corrosion Control project is wrapping up well within its budget and time scale. 
There are no new variances in Corporate projects. 
In 2013, a project was undertaken to clean up Terminal 117. The project included upland
and in-water work and encountered unanticipated drums of material. Slightly over 
$300,000 has been spent on the resulting supplemental contract. 
The Port of Seattle is meeting some of its small contracting goals for 2014 but not others,
standing at an aggregate of 25 percent. Small contractor goals for 2014 may still be met. 
The history of project schedule and budget targets for the years 2011-2014 was
presented. Many projects' design and construction phases ran over schedule. Projects
historically have a high success rate for staying within budget. 
Delays in execution, conservative cost estimation, and tendency for programs to be
delayed result in project under-execution in the three capital budget business divisions. 
The Capital Program has improvements planned relating to programming,  critical
projects, control of scope growth, and delivery processes. 
7b.  Briefing on the Port Property Insurance Renewal for the Policy Year beginning on
July 1, 2014. 
Presentation document(s) provided by Jeff Hollingsworth, Senior Manager, Risk Management: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated June 5, 2014. 
Presentation slides. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Hollingsworth. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
The Port of Seattle's insurancecoverage renewal is scheduled for July 1, 2014, at an
anticipated cost between $1,490,000 and $1,510,000. 
Insurance will be renewed with the same structure as last year, with a $750 million per
occurrence limit and a $500,000 per occurrence deductible. 
Terrorism coverage is provided with a sub-limit of $350 million per occurrence. 
The Port will have six months of coverage under the expiring Terrorism Risk and
Insurance Act. The Port's insurance company, Lexington, has guaranteed to cover any
policies renewed prior to the end of 2014. Regardles s of the Act's renewal or nonrenewal
, the Port will have coverage, with a supplement of $350 million. 
Flood coverage is capped at an annual aggregate of $25 million above a flat $500,000
deductible. 

Minutes of June 24, 2014, proposed for approval on February 10, 2015.


PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                    Page 8 of 9 
TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 2014 
Coverage for course of construction peril stands at $50 million; equipment breakdown
and business interruption both stand at $100 million. Major deductibles per occurrence
stand at $500,000 for fire and extended coverage, $1,000,000 for flood, $50,000 for
course of construction, $25,000 for fine arts and $1,000,000 for equipment breakdown.
Procuring earthquake insurance was re-evaluated this year and determined to be too
costly and inadequate. 
The Airport will start construction on several large projects after July 1, 2015, the current
renewal expiration. Risk Management will work with project teams to structure insurance
coverage for the project construction phases. 
The main driver for post-property insurances is the Port's total value of $4.7 billion in
insurable assets. 
The estimated premium is $1.5 billion, a little higher than last year's. 
8.   ADDITIONAL NEW BUSINESS 
8a.  Presentation on the Quality Jobs Initiative. 
There were no presentation documents provided prior to this briefing. However, materials were
made available at the meeting and on the Port website. A copy of these materials is, by reference,
made a part of these minutes, is marked Exhibit A, and is available for review in Port offices. 
Staff presenter(s): Mark Reis, Managing Director, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and Luis
Navarro, Director, Office of Social Responsibility. 
The presentation included the following relevant information: 
In January, the Port Commission announced the Quality Jobs Initiative, a public process
and conversation about job quality at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Data was
gathered through public hearings, conversations with employers, employees, and labor
representatives, and invited public comment. Third party research and wage and benefit
experts were also consulted. 
Important research elements included the over 6,000 Airport employees with direct
access to Airport operations areas, and benchmarking the Airport's performance with
other airports. 
The high turnover rate of employees associated with the Airport operations area,
particularly at the entry level, was considered, including the negative consequences for
Airport safety and security. Wage and benefit levels remain low, and entry-level
employees have difficulty in advancing further in their careers. 
Short-tenure employees have less experience and less opportunity for recurrent training.
Commission action regarding minimum standards of compensation and training is
intended to reduce turnover and increase Airport efficiency. 
The Port of Seattle needs a flexible framework that raises standards of living for Airport
employees and addresses workforce development issues while accounting for the
different needs and operational constraints of the Port and the Port's tenants, customers, 
and stakeholders. 
Three actions that the Commission is considering to strengthen Airport quality jobs 
include the following: a safety and security proposal and resolution that establishes new

training, education, work experience,  and wage and compensation standards for
aeronautical workers; a workforce development and career opportunities proposal and
motion to expand career advancement opportunities for Port workers; and a third action
relating to Airport dining and retail jobs, which is under development. 
In May 2014, Alaska Airlines announced an investment of $1.4 million to support job
training at the Airport.  The Office of Social Responsibility (OSR) plans to use this
investment to attract similar investments from community-based stakeholders, greatly
expanding education and development opportunities for Airport employees. 
Actions for developing a Commission-approved workforce development strategy include
issuing requests for qualifications and requests for proposals, developing internal
policies, and awarding contracts to service providers. 
The timeline for accomplishing resolution milestones is June 2014 to January 2015. 
The Commission will propose a resolution reflecting the findings of the last six months,
with core elements being hiring standards and an expanded training policy for Airport
workers, particularly regarding safety. The Commission will set the standards for wages. 
The minimum wage at the Airport will increase to $11.22 in January 2015 and $13.00 in
January 2017. 
The minimum total compensation standard will increase to $13.72 in January 2015 and
$15.50 in January 2017. Paid time off will be at a minimum of one hour per 40 hours worked. 
The workforce development strategy will draw on past experience of Port Jobs, provide
new opportunities for career advancement, and promote higher living standards for
workers while ensuring employers retain flexibility in structuring compensation packages. 
RECESSED AND RECONVENED 
The regular meeting was recessed at 2:37 p.m. to an executive session estimated to last 60 
minutes to discuss matters relating to qualifications for public employment.
At 4:04 p.m., the Commission Clerk announced on behalf of the Commission Co-President that the
executive session would be extended until 4:30 p.m. to finish consideration of the matters
previously announced. 
Following the executive session, which lasted approximately 90 minutes, the regular meeting
reconvened in open public session at 4:35 p.m.
