Item No.       7a 
Date of Meeting    June 07, 2011 
DATE:    May 26, 2011 
TO:      Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:    Marie Fritz, Manager, Cruise Services & Business Development and 
Bruce Laing, Neighbors' Advisory Committee Chairperson 
SUBJECT:  Terminal 91 - Neighbors' Advisory Committee  2010 Annual Report and
Chairperson Nomination 

The Terminal 91 Neighbors' Advisory Committee (NAC) is composed of representatives of the
Magnolia Community Club and Queen Anne Community Council. Together with
representatives of the Port of Seattle, NAC operates within the terms of the Terminal 91 Short
Fill Redevelopment Agreement (as amended 1985 and 1998). The Committee meets on the third
Wednesday of each month at Pier 69. 
The 2010 Annual Activity Report has been prepared for presentation to the Port Commission and
executives by the NAC Chairperson, Bruce Laing. The NAC greatly appreciates the opportunity
to give a short overview of the 2010 Annual Report to the Commission. 
According to the Short Fill Redevelopment Agreement as amended 1998, which established the
NAC, the Port of Seattle is required to provide a Chairperson who is neither a resident of
Magnolia or Queen Anne nor an employee of the Port of Seattle. This is managed through a
service contract with 501 Commons (formally Executive Service Corp of Washington) who
seeks out highly qualified individuals to fill this role. This is a five year contract in the amount of
$35,000. 
The Short Fill Redevelopment Agreement also specifies that the Chairperson is nominated by the
Port of Seattle Commission and approved by the Magnolia Community Club and the Queen
Anne Community Council. Port staff requests the Commission to accept the attached letter as the
Port of Seattle Commission action to nominate Mr. Bruce Laing to continue in his role as chair
for the Neighborhood Advisory Board. Mr. Laing has acted as Chairman since 2007.
