Presentation document(s) included an agenda memorandum and presentation slides. 
Presenter(s): Lance Lyttle, Aviation Division Managing Director; Jeffrey Brown, Director of Aviation
Facilities and Capital Programs; Arlyn Purcell,  Director Aviation Environment and Sustainability;
and Borgan Anderson, Aviation Finance and Budget Director. 
Growth in local industries is driving demand for increased capacity. Sea-Tac is primarily an
origination-and-destination  airport,  which  has  different  requirements   for  parking,  ground
transportation, and baggage facilities than airports that have more travelers with connecting flights.
A summary of Sustainable Airport Master Plan projects was provided, including updates on
projects currently underway, near-term projects expected to be completed by 2027, and a forecast
of long-term projects expected to be undertaken after 2027. Commissioners and staff discussed
balancing port revenue and costs to airlines, awareness of debt levels, and cost per enplanement.
Not expanding the airport would result in a severe downgrade of service as demand increases. 
The process for environmental review was discussed. There will be a single integrated document
for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review.
The anticipated duration for the review is 12-18 months. 
Direction was provided for community open houses, with emphasis on thoughtful inclusion of all
members of all affected communities and thorough collection of data based on community input.

8.    AUTHORIZATIONS and FINAL ACTIONS 
8f.   Adoption of Motion 2018-07: A motion of the Port of Seattle Commission to create an
International Arrivals Facility Executive Review Panel to review the execution and
supervision of the project's delivery method, cost escalation, and guaranteed
maximum price negotiation; calling for review and recommendations; naming members 
of the panel; providing for compensation; and exempting consultant contracts from
competitive solicitation consistent with RCW 53.19.020. 
Request document(s) included a draft motion. The adopted version of Motion 2018-07 is attached. 
Presenter(s): Mike Merritt, Commission Chief of Staff. 
Previously, the commission received an update on the status of the International Arrivals Facility
(IAF) project and guaranteed maximum price negotiations on March 27, 2018, as agenda item 9a. 
Commissioners Bowman and Steinbrueck summarized the background of the motion. The goal of
the panel would be to ensure time and money spent on the IAF project are optimized. Mr. Merritt
summarized the background of the panelists. 
The text of the motion reads as follows: 
The  Commission  hereby  convenes  a  panel  of  experienced  construction
management professionals, the "Executive Review Panel," for the International
Arrivals Facility project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, to review the
execution and supervision of the project's progressive design-build project
delivery method, project cost escalation, the process being used to negotiate a
guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the project, and make recommendations on
the project going forward. The Executive Review Panel will conduct its review and
present a written report to the commission within 60 days of appointment. 
The members of the ERP shall be: 
Ken Johnsen 
John Okamoto 
Loren Smith 
Tina Millan 
The Commission delegates authority to the Executive Director to execute up to
four personal service agreements (with a maximum compensation not to exceed
$200,000) for members of the Executive Review Panel. 
Staff conducted extensive outreach and have determined that a competitive
solicitation process is not appropriate or cost-effective to identify and select
appropriate professionals who have experience with large construction programs
and have relevant experience in construction and project management, design,
aviation  development,  and  design-build  contracting.  Consistent  with  RCW
53.19.020, the  commission may exempt these contracts from a  competitive

8a.  Introduction of Resolution No. 3747: A resolution of the Port of Seattle Commission
establishing a Welcoming Port Policy Directive on increased engagement with, and
support for, immigrant and refugee communities. 
Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum and draft resolution. A copy of the final
draft of Resolution No. 3747 will be made available upon adoption. 
Presenter(s): Eric Schinfeld, Senior Manager, Federal and International Government Relations, 
and Veronica Valdez, Commission Specialist. 
Investment in immigration issues is in keeping with the port's mission to promote social responsibility
by helping assure equal legal protection, due process, and quality of life. Engagement with
international communities is also an important piece of the Port's business model. 
This motion directs that the port will do the following: 
not deny services based on immigration status; 
prohibit any employees from inquiring about or collecting information regarding place of
birth, citizenship, or immigration status; 
avoid using its resources in the enforcement of immigration law; 
provide facilities that are welcoming, safe, and accessible for all visitors; and 
commit to engaging and collaborating with refugee community stakeholders. 
Discussions regarding this policy directive began in January 2017, following the federal travel ban.
Much of the work preceded the December 2017 bylaws change requiring that policy-related
matters be referred to committee. It was proposed that committee referral be waived for this item. 
MOTION 
For purposes of Resolution No. 3747, the motion to waive Commission Bylaws Article V,
Section 6, requiring referral of policy directive and governance structure changes to a
committee of appropriate purview, carried by the following vote: 
In favor: Calkins, Felleman, Gregoire, Steinbrueck (4) 
Absent for the vote: Bowman

Presenter(s): Veronica Valdez, Commission Specialist, and Tracy Patterson, Talent Development
and Diversity Manager, Human Resources.

identify and address equity matters throughout the organization. The toolkit will be designed with
input from port employees and executive leadership and will be piloted on a handful of projects. 
The text of the motion reads as follows:

program in 2018. The pilot program shall use an equity toolkit in no less than three
departments and/or projects in the port to inform the development of an equity

Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum, presentation slides, and draft lease
amendment. 
Presenter(s): W. Allan Royal, Property Manager, Aviation Properties. 
This lease will provide a facility near the airport for maintenance of Enterprise/Alamo/National
rental cars. There is not another suitable location available nearby; the alternative site is several
miles away in the Kent valley. Keeping the facility closer to the airport will have a positive impact on
carbon emissions reduction. Real estate analysis indicates that there are few suitable uses for this
piece of property. 
The motion for approval of agenda item 8c carried by the following vote: 
In favor: Calkins, Felleman, Gregoire, Steinbrueck (4) 
Absent for the vote: Bowman 
8d.  Introduction of Resolution No. 3748: A resolution of the Port Commission of the Port of
Seattle  restating  the  Port  of  Seattle  Statement  of  Investment  Policy;  repealing

Authorizing Investment of the Port of Seattle's Monies in the Local Government
Investment Pool. 
Request document(s) included an agenda memorandum, presentation slides, draft resolution,
resolution Exhibit A, resolution Exhibit B, local government investment pool prospectus, and 2017
investment portfolio report. A copy of the final draft of Resolution No. 3748 will be made available
upon adoption. 
Presenter(s): Diane Campbell, Treasury Manager. 
This resolution will amend the Port of Seattle Statement of Investment Policy to allow participation
in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP). The LGIP is already used by the Northwest
Seaport Alliance and Port of Tacoma. I t operates similarly to a money market fund, and the
objectives of its investment policy are like those of the Port of Seattle. 
The motion for introduction of Resolution No. 3748 (agenda item 8d) carried by the
following vote: 
In favor: Calkins, Felleman, Gregoire, Steinbrueck (4) 
Absent for the vote: Bowman 
8e.  Introduction of Resolution No. 3749: A resolution of the Port Commission of the Port of

more series in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $700,000,000, for the
purpose of financing or refinancing capital improvements to aviation facilities; setting

draft of Resolution No. 3749 will be made available upon adoption. 
Presenter(s): Elizabeth Morrison, Director, Corporate Finance.

debt service after ten years, which will allow for future debt capacity.

following vote: 
In favor: Calkins, Felleman, Gregoire, Steinbrueck (4) 
Absent for the vote: Bowman
