ACTION REQUESTED 
Request First Reading of Resolution No. 3705 - 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 atwill
employees 
SYNOPSIS 
Resolution 3705 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 plans 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.
