and Sale Agreement which addresses indemnification and a hold harmless agreement. He
wondered whether the Port will be held harmless against some sort of event that would arise out of
PSE using the easement to be granted, such as a fuel leak or an explosion.
General Counsel Watson responded that he would prefer to research the clause referenced before

units remain to be sound insulated.
Mr. Graves commented on the JOC contracting process for the program, noting that it is hoped the
rate at which the work is performed can be stepped up in order to provide more cost savings. He
also noted that this is a process which has not previously been used by the Port. 
Commissioner Creighton noted that although he would be supporting this item, he had concern
about prior insulation programs, after which were completed, had window insulation that did not
perform according to warranty, with no recourse to homeowners, as the installers had gone out of
business.

Neighborhood Advisory Committee (NAC) had been briefed on the proposed plan for the facility,
and had approved of it.

stormwater to appropriate treatment plants. She also reviewed the timeline on the project, which
will include submitting a plan to the Department of Ecology by the end of the year, proceeding with
the SEPA process, and hopefully begin construction in 2013.
Mr. Griffin provided a brief history of the discussions of the possible land swap, which would both
accommodate the County"s need to site and build a CSO facility and also preserve development
area at Terminal 91.
Mr. McLaughlin noted that next steps would include finalizing a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
between the Port, the City and the County, and that staff would hope to return to the Commission
in January with an update on the process. 
Responding to a question from Commissioner Tarleton as to who will manage the oversight and
procurement of the tank, the installation and the construction once the MOA is finalized, Mr. Griffin
stated that it would be the County"s responsibility. 
Commissioner Tarleton also asked whether there had been discussion of how the Port, City and
County can look at how the facility might be used in dealing with cruise ship waste. Mr.
McLaughlin noted that cruise ships use a totally different type of system, and it was not
recommended, due in part to capacity issues. 
Public comment regarding Item 7a was received from the following individual: 
Nancy Bainbridge Rogers, citizen. Ms. Bainbridge Rogers spoke in support of the
proposed land swap, and the public process going forward, stating her belief that the
process should include not only the CSO facility itself, but also the design of the land swap

Mr. Yoshitani noted that since he began at the Port, he had been moving security into a more
centralized function. 
d.  (04:03:21) Capital Improvement Projects Report for the Third Quarter 2010 
Presentation documents: Commission agenda memorandum dated November 18, 2010, computer
slide presentation, and report from Ralph Graves, Managing Director, Capital Development
Division. 
Presenter: Mr. Graves 
Mr. Graves stated that there is currently not a lot of updated information, and provided a brief
update on projects within each Division. He noted that there are currently 74 projects included in
the report; 45 that are within or ahead of target schedule and budget; 28 that have either target
schedule or budget off; and 1 with both schedule and budget off. 
Commissioner Bryant stated that the agenda would then be returned for Item 6b as follows:
Commissioner Bryant noted that the reason this item was being addressed at this time is that he
had been advised that the South Park advertisement is set for January 11, which is critical to
allow them to meet the fish window and for construction to be concluded consistent with the 2011
fish window. By missing this deadline, it could add a year to the schedule and jeopardize the
TIGER funds.. 
6.   DIVISION, CORPORATE AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
b.  (04:11:29) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute an Interlocal
Agreement (ILA) with King County, in substantially the form attached, in connection
with the South Park Bridge Replacement Project, including financial participation and
property easements in favor of King County over certain Port of Seattle property with a
total combined estimated value of $5,000,000. This action will commit the payment of
funds from the Port for the South Park Bridge in 2012 and 2013.

PORT COMMISSION MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING 
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2010                               P. 14 
Request documents: Commission agenda memorandum dated December 1, 2010 from Joe
McWilliams, Managing Director, Real Estate Division; Geri Poor, Manager, Regional
Transportation; and Dan Burke, Regional Transportation Program Planner. Also provided was a
computer slide presentation. 
Presenters: Ms. Poor, Mr. Burke, and Susan Oxholm, King County Department of Transportation 
Ms. Poor and Mr. Burke provided background information of the project, and reviewed a map of the
vicinity where the project would take place. Mr. Burke noted that due to age and maintenance, the
South Park Bridge had closed on June 20 of this year, requiring trucks to find alternate routes. He
stated that County Executive Dow Constantine had approached the Port to request a $5 million
contribution toward the replacement of that bridge. Mr. Burke also commented on benefits of the
project to the Port, including creating jobs and economic growth in an environmentally responsible
way, and specifically maintaining a transportation system that supports freight mobility and
expands our role in international trade. 
Ms. Poor reviewed the members of the funding partnership which will be participating in the bridge
replacement project. She also provided a breakdown of amounts to be contributed by each of the
partners, and noted that some are for planning or right of way contributions. The Port"s cash
funding contribution is $4,286,000, and easements valued at $714,000 for a total of $5 million.. 
Commissioner Albro stated his belief that the replacement of this bridge should be King County"s
responsibility since it is county-owned, and he would encourage the Port to take a position similar
to the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) regarding the return of any funds not
spent because the South Park Bridge was built under budget. FMSIB would receive all of its
contribution back in that case, and local agencies would split the remaining cost savings
proportionately. 
Commissioner Creighton said he would like to see more clarity and have a more definite
commitment from King County on the Eastside Rail Corridor sale before going forward on the
South Park Bridge Interlocal Agreement. 
Mr. Yoshitani said he had recommended going forward with the South Park bridge funding
because of the January 11 deadline, but he would want to get a much more definitive commitment
from King County on the Corridor purchase before executing the Interlocal Agreement.
Specifically, he would like the Corridor term sheet to be reworked to include that commitment.
Commissioner Tarleton said the Commission had been vocal about exercising regional leadership.
We are working with King County on a number of issues, including the Duwamish Superfund
cleanup. The Port has been the recipient of the good will from the people of South Park because
of our willingness to help fund South Park Bridge. Mr. Yoshitani and the staff have done their best
to obtain a fair allocation of any "under-runs" and for not being responsible for any "over-runs."
Motion for approval of Item 6b  Tarleton

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2010                               P. 15 
Commissioner Bryant restated the motion as follows: Mr. Yoshitani is authorized to proceed with
executing the Interlocal Agreement with the following stipulations. There should be an agreement
with King County on the term sheet and timeline with regard to King County"s commitment to
purchase the Eastside Rail Corridor.
Second: Creighton 
Commissioner Creighton offered a friendly amendment to his second that King County"s assurance
should be in writing. Commissioner Tarleton accepted Commissioner Creighton"s friendly
amendment. 
Commissioner Albro offered another friendly amendment that any savings should be shared by the
Port of Seattle, the City of Seattle, the City of Tukwila and Boeing but not by King County. FMSIB
would continue to receive a refund of its funding first. After further discussion, Mr. Yoshitani was
directed to negotiate and report back to the Commission on any savings the Port would receive if
the bridge is built under budget and to obtain a satisfactory term sheet and timeline for the Corridor
purchase before executing the Interlocal Agreement. 
Motion, as amended, carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Creighton, Holland, Tarleton (5)
