The text of the motion under consideration now reads as follows: 
The Port of Seattle is committed to its unique role in stopping human trafficking
here in our region, where hundreds of victims are identified each year. We not only
have a moral obligation to protect residents and visitors but also a tangible role in
stopping trafficking because of our status as both a large employer and as the
manager of significant trade and travel facilities. Over the years, our organization
has been a leader in directly addressing trafficking activities, raising awareness of
the issue to local residents and collaborating with key partners to increase our
reach and impact. 
Given the Port's commitment to ensuring that we use our resources to ensure the
safety and prosperity of all our region's residents and everyone who uses our
facilities,  we  have  the  opportunity  to  increase  our  regional  and  statewide
leadership on this important topic by developing a comprehensive strategy that
ties together training, resources, policies and procedures. To advance the Port's
efforts, the Port of Seattle shall adopt the following goals: 
By  March  31,  2018,  staff  shall  finalize  a  comprehensive  strategy  and
implement an initial set of actions, including but not limited to: 
developing a curriculum and planning trainings for the most relevant
Port employees; 
joining key alliances and committees to ensure the Port's engagement
on this topic regionally; 
conducting initial awareness raising through media and communications
efforts to users of the Port's facilities and local residents; 
advocating at the state and federal level for policy changes that further
the Port's and region's human trafficking reduction efforts; and 
planning for the implementation of a broader set of tactics. 
By June 30, 2018, staff shall implement substantial aspects of the Port's
comprehensive anti-trafficking strategy, including but not limited to: 
developing a curriculum and planning to making training broadly
available to all Port employees; 
ensuring that Port policies and our Code of Conduct fully restricts 
employee engagement in any aspect of trafficking; 
installing signage in Port facilities that helps increase awareness of this
issue and reduces trafficking in our region; and 
exploring implementation of a final tier of tactics. 
By December 31, 2018, staff shall have begun implementation of those final
tier tactics that not only are most achievable but also have the broadest
return on investment in terms of multiplying the Port's impact on reducing
human trafficking. In particular, staff should focus on collaborations with
tenants, vendors, concessionaires, contractors and partners such as the
Northwest Seaport Alliance.
