ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Second Reading and Final Passage of Resolution No. 3705, as Amended - a resolution
of the Port Commission of the Port of Seattle amending Resolution 3699, 2015 Salary and
Benefit Resolution, to allow the Chief Executive Officer to offer modified terms related to the
Paid Time Off plan to direct report at-will employees. 
SYNOPSIS 
Resolution 3705, as amended is attached for the Commission's consideration and approval. 
BACKGROUND 
The Salary and Benefit Resolution authorizes and establishes conditions in connection with
benefits for Port of Seattle employees not represented by a labor union. The resolution currently
includes an at-will designation for some jobs and permits the CEO to engage in direct (noncompetitive
) hiring as well as to approve special salary adjustments in unusual circumstances not
otherwise addressed by Port salary administration policies. Resolution 3705 will add language to
Resolution 3699, 2015 Salary and Benefit Resolution granting the CEO authority to offer 
modified Paid Time Off plan terms for the CEO's direct hire at-will employees that the CEO
believes are necessary for effective recruitment. In addition, any  terms or conditions of
employment offered by the CEO to a direct-hire, at will employee will be reported to the
Commission.
