THE ANGELS SING SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO PLEASE PLEASE LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELVES AND FIND EQUITY FOR THESE WORKERS THANK YOU SO MUCH YES OUR NEXT SPEAKER WAS CINDY DOMINGO HELLO MY NAME IS CINDY DOMINGO AND I'M WITH THE ORGANIZATION LIKE I SAY THE QUALITY LEADERSHIP IN ORGANIZING LELO A LONG TIME NONPROFIT BASED IN KING COUNTY WHOSE MISSION IS TO SUPPORT WORKERS OF COLOR WOMEN AND LOW INCOME WORKERS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO BETTER THEY'RE WORKING AND LIVING CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD I'M HERE TO TESTIFY SUPPORT OF THE AIRLINE CATERING WORKERS WHO NEED 6-2-1-7 SENATE BILL IMPLEMENTED I HAVE BEEN HONORED TO WALK THE PICKET LINE MANY TIMES IN 2,019 IN MARCH AND TO SUPPORT THE AIRLINE CATERING WORKERS AS A COMMITTED CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE LAST FEBRUARY IN THEIR EFFORTS TO MAKE THE SAME MINIMUM WAGE AS OF WORKERS IN THE CITY OF C TECH I HAVE ALSO COME TO KNOW MANY OF THESE FINE PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD MANY OF THEM WHO JUST SPOKE HONEST WORKING PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO SUPPORT I HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THEM THROUGH THE MANY ZOOM WEBINARS IN WHICH THESE WORKERS HAVE TOLD THEIR PERSONAL STORIES OF STRUGGLE DURING THIS PANDEMIC THEY'RE CONSTANT WORRIES OF HOW THEY WILL PAY THEIR RENT OR THEIR MORTGAGES HOW THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR SOURCES OF FOOD AND MONEY TO PAY THEIR UTILITIES AND HOW THEY HAD TO NAVIGATE THE MYRIAD OF RED TAPE TO GET THEIR UNEMPLOYMENT IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE THAT CAN CONTINUE TO WORK THERE THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS THAT EVERYONE IS APPLAUDING AND UPLIFTING A THESE LOWER WAGE WORKERS WHO SO MANY ARE IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES HAVE BECOME IMPORTANT IN OUR SOCIETY AND HAVE COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND INTO THE LIGHT BUT WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY CAN WE BE IF WE SAY CERTAIN WORKERS ESPECIALLY BLACK AND BROWN WORKERS DON'T DESERVE THE SAME LIVING WAGE THAT OTHER WORKERS IN C TECHNIQUE ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS LEGISLATION PASSED TO ENFORCE THE LAW THESE WORKERS RISK SO MUCH BY COMING TO WORK IN THIS PANDEMIC SO THAT AIRLINES CONTINUE TO OPERATE SHOULD THEY BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND HONOR PLEASE IMPLEMENT SENATE BILL 6-2-1-7 THANK YOU CINDY OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MAGGIE ANGEL HELLO COMMISSIONERS THIS IS MAGDALENA ON HILL ALSO KNOWN AS MAGGIE I AM AN ALUMINUM OF THE DARMISH VALLEY YOUTH CORP AND CURRENT STAFF OF THE DARMISH RIVER CLUB COLLISION ALSO A MEMBER OF THE PORT COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM I AM HERE TO TELL YOU TODAY THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LOCATION OF THE PIZZA PLACE THE LEAST AGREEMENT THAT IS BEING TALKED ABOUT THIS PIZZA PLACE IS RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF SOUTH PARK AS YOU ALL MAY KNOW SOUTH PARK AND GEORGETOWN ARE PART OF THE DARMISH VALLEY WHO HAVE BEEN DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY NOT ONLY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND POLLUTANTS BUT ALSO BY ITS PEOPLE MANY TIMES OUR YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITIES ARE THE LAST IN THE ROAD TO BE TALKED ABOUT OR SEEN SO FOR US TODAY HAVING A MARINE TIME HIGH SCHOOL IT'S REALLY EXCITING FOR OUR YOUTH TO PARTICIPATE BUT ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT WE ALWAYS SEE IS TRANSPORTATION US ONLY HAVING TWO ROUTES IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT TAKES US DOWN TO DOWNTOWN SEATTLE AND THE OTHER ONE UP TO WHITE CENTER KIND OF LIMITS OUR RESOURCES AND WAYS OF TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOLS SO HAVING THIS PIZZA PLACE WILL DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE OUR STUDENTS TO TAKE PART OF THIS AWESOME OPPORTUNITY TO GO AS A MARINE TIME INDUSTRY CAREER PATHWAY ASIDE FROM THAT I'M ALSO HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THERE'S OTHER PARTNERSHIPS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS SUCH AS I KNEW WHO IS IN CONTRACT WITH SUPPORT PROVIDING A PRINTER SHIPS FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS THIS WILL ALSO BE A PERFECT

DOORS ORGANIZATION I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WE'RE A NONPROFIT WITH A MISSION TO MAKE GOODS AND SERVICES ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND TRAVEL TOURISM AND TRANSPORTATION AND I WANTED TO MENTION THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE BY THE COMMISSION AT THE AIRPORT AT STAC ONE OF THE LEADING AIRPORTS IN THE WORLD FOR ACCESSIBILITY IT'S GROWN NOW TO BECOME A BIG ENOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT A MOVEMENT WITHIN THE AIRPORT THAT I THINK IT'S BEING NOTICED ON A WORLD SCALE AS THE WORK CONTINUES NOT JUST FROM POLICIES AND PROCEDURES BUT ACTUALLY BREAKING GROUND AND BREAKING CONCRETE AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES REALLY THINGS HAPPEN AND I WANT TO SAY THAT CONTINUING TO DO THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC BECAUSE OTHER AIRPORTS ARE LOOKING TOWARDS YOURS IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE YOU'RE JUST BEGINNING BUT YOU CAN'T UNDERVALUE THE FACT OF BEING FIRST TO DO SOMETHING AND THEN TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS AND THEN IMPROVE UPON IT SO I JUST WANTED TO COMMEND YOU ALL ON THAT WORK AS WELL AS ALL THE WORK YOU'VE DONE DURING THE PANDEMIC AND AS A MEMBER OF THE ASC THE TSA AVIATION SECURITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND COMMEND YOU ON ALL THE SAFETY AND ALL THE WORK YOU'VE DONE AT SEATTLE AND WITH THE

EXCITED AND THRILLED WHEN THE PORT ON VALENTINE'S DAY IN 2,017 ANNOUNCED THAT THEY HIRE THE OPEN DOORS ASSOCIATION ORGANIZATION RATHER AND STARTED THIS PROCESS IT'S BEEN GREAT SEE SO MUCH PROGRESS AND I LOWED THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESULTS THAT WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR I DO CONTINUE TO HAVE CONCERNS HOWEVER THAT THE THERE'S THE NEW NEWLY LAUNCHED ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT IS MOSTLY COMPRISED OF INTER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND ONLY LIST ONE ACTUAL DISABILITY ORGANIZATION NONE OF THEM MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE FIVE OUTREACH MEETINGS THAT WERE CONDUCTED WITH THE OPEN DOORS ORGANIZATION AND THE COORDINATION OF MYSELF AND THE SEATTLE DISABILITY COMMISSION HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS NEW EFFORT AND I THINK THAT THAT'S TRAGIC IT'S KIND OF LIKE KICKING THE PEOPLE WHO GOT YOU TO THIS LEVEL AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE THE METHOD GOING FORWARD THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE HERE IS TRULY GROUNDBREAKING IT'S A MODEL BY WHICH EVERY OTHER LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON MUST ATTAIN THIS IS AN IMPORTANT AND HUGE POPULATION OF PEOPLE THAT ARE AFFECTED WHO HAVE DISABILITIES IT'S A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE NOT JUST THOSE WITH

PROCESS THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I'D LIKE TO JUST PUT US BACK TO THE JAMES RIVER PEOPLE'S PARK THAT DAVE MCFADDEN HAD MENTIONED THAT THAT WAS A THAT WAS A SUPER FUN CONSTRUCTION SITE THAT THE COMMUNITY HELP ADVOCATE FOR FULL FOR IT TO TURN INTO THE HABITAT TO THE LEVEL OF CLEAN UP THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AND BACK THEN BACK IN AROUND 2,014 WE HAD OPENED UP A FIELD OFFICE SUPPORT OF SEATTLE HAD OPENED UP A FIELD OFFICE THERE TO SERVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO DO PROJECT INFORMATION TO SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT AND SO WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING BACK TO THAT PRECEDENT OVERALL TO IDENTIFY THE USES FOR THE SPACE AND TO AND OPEN UP THIS OPPORTUNITY SO I DID WANT TO ONE JUST LOOK BACK TO OUR HISTORY AND REPEAT THINGS THAT ARE GREAT THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST AND EXPAND ON THOSE AND CONTINUE THAT WORK AND THEN ALSO JUST TO REMIND YOU THAT IN ADDITION TO HAVING A FIELD OFFICE AND CONNECTED TO THE DUWAMISH RIVER PEOPLE'S PARK CONSTRUCTION AND THE SHORELINE HABITAT WORK THAT WILL BE ENGAGING IN WE WILL ALSO BE FULFILLING APART A PIECE OF OUR RESOLUTION 37 67 THAT THE COMMISSION PASSED BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2,019 1 OF THE SPECIFIC IDENTITIES SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED ACTIONS IN THE WORK PLAN THAT YEAR WAS TO FIGURE OUT IF WE CAN CREATE SOME SORT OF JOB AN INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTER TO PROMOTE PORT RELATED CAREERS IN THE AREA SO THIS IS KIND OF COMBINING BOTH IT'S THE PERFECT STORM OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IS HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY AND THIS IS AN ONGOING NEED AND ONGOING INTEREST FOR THE PORT TO SUPPORT PORT RELATED CAREERS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES SO WE'RE FULFILLING OUR RESOLUTION AS WELL BY DOING THIS AND CREATING INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES FOR PLACE BASED ECONOMIC RESILIENCE AND WE SPEAK A LOT TO THAT IN RESOLUTION 37 67 ABOUT HOW THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS TO SUPPORT ECONOMIC PROSPERITY IN PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY AND PART OF THAT IN MUCH OF THAT IS CENTERING AND HAVING COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAD THAT PROCESS FOR US AND WITH US SO WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO DR AVILA ONE OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE PORT COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM THAT'S OUR COMMUNITY ADVICE THANK YOU EXCELLENT THANK YOU CHRISTINA SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE SO I'M A MEMBER OF THE PCAT AND RESIDENT OF GEORGETOWN FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH PECO WE ARE RESIDENTS OF THE DUWAMISH VALLEY WHO ENGAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITY WHILE WORKING WITH THE PORT OF SEATTLE TO BETTER THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE DUWAMISH VALLEY WE FOCUS ON COMMUNITY BASED BRAZILIANS PROJECTS AND THOSE COME FROM OUR COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND GUIDED BY THE PRINCIPLES LISTED HERE NEXT SO MANY PCAP MEMBERS HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN LEADING ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY BASED PROJECTS IN THE DUWAMISH VALLEY SUCH AS MAGGIE THAT SPOKE DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS AND AS A RESULT WE CONNECT WITH RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS REGULARLY THROUGHOUT OUR WORK THE DESIRE FOR A PLACE TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER AND LOCAL PROJECTS HAS COME UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH A DEARTH OF COMMUNITY MEETING SPACES IN THE DUWAMISH VALLEY PRIOR TO A COVID PCAP MEANS WERE HELD WHEREVER WE COULD ACCESS SPACE WE SHARED FOOD WE BUILT SOME PROJECT IDEAS BUT HAVING A SET LOCATION WHERE WE COULD HOLD COMMUNITY INTEREST MEETINGS AND BE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY IS KEY FOR BUILDING LONGTERM CAPACITY WE ARE EXCITED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND FURTHER OUR WORK AS A CONDUIT WE RESIDENTS AND THE PORT WITH THIS SPACE OPPORTUNITY NEXT IN MY PREVIOUS WORK AT THE SEATTLE PARKS FOUNDATION WE SPOKE OFTEN ABOUT GREEN GENTRIFICATION AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EXCELLENT GREEN SPACE AMENITIES THAT SHOULD BENEFIT RESIDENTS END UP INCREASING THE CHANCE OF DISPLACEMENT THE PCAT HERE'S SIMILAR CONCERNS FROM OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PUBLIC SPACE IMPROVEMENTS THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD BE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BUT THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE OUTCOME IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS THIS GREEN GENTRIFICATION VALUE OF THE CENTRALIZED MEETING SPACE ACCESSIBLE TO GEORGETOWN AND SOUTH PARK RESIDENCE IS INCALCULABLE THE WALKABLE AND TRANSIT ORIENTED LOCATION NEEDS LOGISTIC NEEDS FOR PARK MAINTENANCE BUT ALSO CENTERS THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS OF GEORGETOWN AND SOUTH PARK WHAT WAS FORMERLY A PIZZA PLACE OPENS UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO CONTINUE ENGAGING YOUTH THAT PARTICIPATE IN OUR DUWAMISH VALLEY GREEN JOBS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS OF WHICH THERE AREN'T MANY WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT AND GETTING REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE RED AS A WRITING INTERVIEW CLINICS INTERNSHIP INFO SESSIONS WHERE THE COURT COULD DIRECTLY CONNECT WITH YOUTH WHO ARE ALREADY BEING TRAINED IN THESE GREEN JOBS BEYOND YOUTH ENGAGEMENT WE HAVE MANY RESIDENTS IN THE LONGISH VALLEY THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE MORE CONNECTED TO THE PORT EITHER THROUGH THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS OR FOR ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE INTERESTED IN ACCESSING SOME OF THOSE FAMILY WAGE JOBS THAT ARE LOCATED NEAR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND CAN BE PART OF FINDING DISPLACEMENT FACILITY HAS A CAPACITY TO ASSIST THAT WORKFORCE CONNECTION AGAIN WE DON'T HAVE MANY MEETING SPACES IN THE DUWAMISH VALLEY AND THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT ADDITIONAL USE TO THIS LEASE THAT IS ARE GOING TO BE USED FOR THIS TYPE OF PART MAINTENANCE THANK YOU SO AND NEXT I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO GO BACK TO CHRISTINA NEXT SLIDE PLEASE SO THIS IS JUST TO IMAGINE WHAT THIS PLACE COULD LOOK LIKE AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER TODAY IT IS A FORMER PIZZA PARLOR AND WE'RE USING CREATIVE CREATIVELY WHAT'S AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO GET OUR GOALS ACCOMPLISHED AND SO WE JUST WANTED TO SHOW THAT THERE'S OPPORTUNITY IN THE MAIN ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN YOU CAN SEE THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR CONVERSATIONS FOR GROUP MEETINGS FOR WORKSHOPS AND TRAININGS FOR DIFFERENT KIND OF COMMUNITY EVENTS IN PUBLIC EVENTS AND THEN OTHERWISE YOU CAN SEE GREAT STORAGE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTICULARLY OR GREEN JOBS PROGRAM WHERE WE ARE HAVING SHOVELS AND RAKES AND NEEDING PLACES TO KEEP THEM FOR OUR OR PROGRAMS THAT WE ARE ALREADY DOING WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS EXCELLENT STORAGE OPPORTUNITIES AND THEN THERE'S ADDITIONAL CONFERENCE IN OFFICE SPACE IN THE BACK PERFECT SIZE FOR THE SMALL GATHERINGS RELATED TO RESUME SUPPORT HELPING FOLKS HAVE ONE ON 1 CONVERSATIONS WITH SKILLS TRADE RECRUITERS AND MANY OTHER KIND OF SMALLER GATHERINGS AS WELL TOO SO THIS IS FULFILLING A REALLY GREAT NEED IN THE COMMUNITY AND THIS SLIDE IS JUST TO HELP YOU IMAGINE SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT CAN TAKE PLACE THERE NEXT SLIDE AND I'LL TURN IT TO KIRA BUT FACILITY USERS ARE GOING TO BE DIVERSE BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY HEARD FROM OUR ENGAGED PARTNERS HERE AND OUR OWN TEAMS WE COULD IMAGINE IN THE SHORT TERM IN ADDITION TO THE WORK THAT WE'LL BE DOING WITH POOR STAFF TO SUPPORT THE CLEANUP AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY THAT'S ONGOING WE CAN IMAGINE THE PEAK HAD ENGAGEMENT CAPACITY BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES THE GREEN JOBS AND AS WAS EARLIER DISCUSSED THE POTENTIAL OF THE MARITIME HIGH SCHOOL ALSO USING THE SPACE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MULTI PURPOSE SETTING WITH MODESTLY PLANNED SPACE THAT'S FLEXIBLE ENOUGH FOR ANY ONE OF THESE USES OR OTHERS THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN CONSIDERED IN THE LONG TERM IF THIS IS AN EFFECTIVE VEHICLE FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WE WILL CONSIDER LONGER TERM OPTIONS AND MORE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WILL KEEP US ENGAGED IN PLACE IN THE DUWAMISH COMMUNITY I FORWARD THIS ROUGHLY OUTLINES THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH GETTING INTO THIS FACILITY JUST BRIEFLY THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CONVERT IT FROM PIZZA PARLOR NESS TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OFFICE IS RELATIVELY MODEST AND WILL BE PERFORMED BY THE LANDLORD TO OUR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND I WANTED TO SAY PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT AS WELL THE RENT FIGURES QUOTED HERE REPRESENT THE TWO MAJOR FEATURES OF THE REAL ESTATE SO THE BUILDING RENT AS WELL AS THE PARKING RENT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ENGAGED IN A RENT STUDY IN THE AREA TO ASSURE US THAT WE WERE HITTING MARKET RATES AND I DID VERIFY THESE RATES AS BEING MARKET RATES WE ALSO HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PAY TAXES INSURANCE AND MAINTENANCE FOR A COLLECTIVE ANNUAL COST ABOUT 110,000 DOLLARS AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THIS IS A THREE YEAR TERM SO WE'RE ASKING FOR THE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE FUNDS FOR THE ENTIRE THREE YEARS THERE ARE TWO ADDITIONAL 1 YEAR TERMS AND WE WOULD HAVE TO RETURN TO AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL FUNDS WERE TO CONTINUE ON THOSE LEASES THIS LEASE FORWARD OKAY I'M GOING TO TURN THIS BACK TO CHRISTINA TO TALK ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH SO AS WE OPEN UP EMBARK ON THIS ENDEAVOR WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY AND TO BUILD CAPACITY IN THE COMMUNITY TO HELP IDENTIFY HOW CAN THE PORTO SEATTLE BEST SERVE IN ECONOMIC RECOVERY IN RELEVANT WAYS WHILE ALSO OPERATING A BUILDING AND OPERATING THIS FACILITY SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'VE DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN COMMUNITY WITH SUCH A COMMUNITY BASED PARTNERSHIP SO WE'RE VERY THRILLED TO SEE TO SEE HOW THAT'S GOING TO GO AND PART OF THE WAYS FOR MAKING A SUCCESSFUL IN THAT PROCESS IS TO HIRE A FACILITY OPERATOR SO WE WOULD HIRE A PERSON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION WILL BE GOING THROUGH A PROCUREMENT PROCESS IN ORDER TO HIRE SOMEONE WHO WILL OVERSEE THE TERM OF THE LEASE TAKE CARE OF BUILDING MANAGEMENT BASIC DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS AS WELL AS BUILD RELATIONSHIP AND NETWORK WITH THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WE CAN ALSO QUALITY AND QUALITY CONTROL CHECK TO MAKE SURE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ACTIVATING IN THE SPACE ARE THE PROGRAMS IN THERE RELEVANT TO THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS THIS PERSON WOULD KIND OF BE A GO BETWEEN IN MANY WAYS TO HELP US MAKE SURE THAT THIS FACILITY IS USED TO ITS MAXIMUM UTILITY WHILE ALSO BEING AS RELEVANT AND USEFUL FOR COMMUNITY IMPACT AS POSSIBLE SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT PROCUREMENT IN THE SPRING AND THE INTENTION IS TO OPEN UP THE BUILDING TO THE PUBLIC WITH EVERYTHING IN PLACE IN APRIL MAY TIMELINE SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND THEN THAT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING SO IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE WE JUST HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ASKING QUESTIONS WE HAVE TO DRAW AVILA ON THE LINE THE PCAT AS WELL AS KIRA MYSELF AND DAVE MSATA TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS MISSIONER MAY HAVE WELL THANK YOU ALL KIRA DRE DAVE CHRISTINA EVERY TIME I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE PROGRESS YOU GUYS ARE MAKING IT REALLY GREAT TO SEE THE FOLLOW THROUGH AND ALL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE COMMISSIONERS TO PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELVES FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS ON STAFF PLEASE LIMIT YOUR DISCUSSIONS TO STAFF QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME WELL DEBATE THE MERITS OF THE MOTION ONCE IT HAS BEEN MOVED PRESENTERS WILL REMAIN AUDIBLE CLEAR CART PLEASE CALL THE ROLE THANK YOU BEGINNING WITH COMMISSIONER BOWMAN THANK YOU FIRST I WANT TO COMMEND THE STAFF ON WHAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY CREATIVE PROPOSAL IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF DIFFERENT USES AT THIS SPACE MY QUESTIONS ARE REALLY ABOUT THE LEASE BECAUSE I DO KIRA I WOULD LOVE BEFORE THAT I THINK I'M ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS MOVING FORWARD I REALLY DO NEED TO SEE SOME VERIFICATION OF THE AMOUNT THAT WE WOULD BE PAYING IN THIS LEASE LIVING IN THE SOUTH END I AM SURPRISED THAT WE WOULD BE PAYING THIS AMOUNT OF RENT FOR A FORMER PIZZA PLACE IN SOUTH PARK IT SEEMS LIKE A VERY HIGH RENT ALMOST 10,000 DOLLARS A MONTH SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD PROVIDE THAT VERIFICATION INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION OUTSIDE OF WHAT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS PROVIDED FOR YOU I HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN YOUR WORK AS A REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT ANY OTHER WAY BUT NONE OF THAT INFORMATION WAS INCLUDED IN THE MEMO AND JUST FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE FROM A STEWARD OF THE TAXPAYERS DOLLARS THAT'S CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR US TO HAVE SECONDLY WHAT I'VE NOT SEEN IN THE MEMO AND FORGIVE ME IF I'VE MISSED IT BUT COULD SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW MANY PORT STAFF WOULD BE LOCATED IN THIS BUILDING I DON'T BELIEVE I SAW THAT OR A LIFETIME OF THE TERM OF THE TERMINAL 117 DO MUCH PERILS PARK CONSTRUCTION PROJECT THAT IS DAILY THAT'S DAILY CONSTRUCTION WORK AND MEETING WITH CONTRACTORS IN THAT SPACE SO ON SITE WE PROBABLY HAVE AT LEAST FIVE FOLKS OUT THERE I THINK ON A REGULAR BASIS MANAGING AND OVERSEEING THE CONTRACTING WORK AND THEN IN ADDITION THE CONTRACTORS TOO SO WE ANTICIPATE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY PORT STAFF JUST THAT ALONE TO BE USING TO USING THAT SPACE AND THEN I WOULD AND ANYONE ELSE INVOLVED WITH THE DUWAMISH VALLEY COMMUNITY EQUITY PROGRAM WOULD BE MEETING THERE AS WELL WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON VARIOUS PROJECTS RIGHT I WAS ACTUALLY MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FIELD OFFICE AND THAT SEEMED TO BE THE IMPETUS FOR LEASING THE SPACE ORIGINALLY I UNDERSTAND HAS LOTS OF A VARIETY OF OTHER PROPOSED USES AND AGAIN THEY'RE ALL VERY CREATIVE AND CERTAINLY ALIGN WITH THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS SO I DON'T HAVE ANY REAL ISSUES WITH THAT IT'S JUST HONESTLY IT'S THE COST I'M REALLY TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY IN SOUTH PARK FOR THIS FACILITY AND WONDERING AGAIN CURE WHEN YOU'RE PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION IF YOU COULD ACTUALLY PROVIDE WHERE THE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT YOU LOOKED AT AND DECLINED TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE DUWAMISH I WONDER NOW THE LONG HOUSES DOWN THERE AS WELL THAT I KNOW THAT THEY FREQUENTLY HAVE CHALLENGES TRYING TO UTILIZE THAT SPACE I'VE MET WITH THEIR DIRECTOR AND SHE'S ALWAYS ENCOURAGING US TO HAVE MEETINGS DOWN THERE DO MORE AT THAT SPACE BECAUSE IT'S EMPTY FREQUENTLY IN ADDITION THE TEQUILA COMMUNITY CENTER ALSO HAS SIMILAR CHALLENGES WITH SCHEDULING THEY ARE FREQUENTLY LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO GO IN AND USE THE SPACE I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT EITHER OF THOSE ARE APPROPRIATE BUT I JUST LIKE TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU ACTUALLY LOOKED AT AND WHY YOU DECIDED THAT THOSE WERE NOT APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS AND THEN THE LAST THING I LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ON THE AUTHORIZATION IF I'M READING THIS CORRECTLY YOU'RE ASKING FOR 360,000 DOLLARS BUT IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH THIS REQUEST AUTHORIZES THE EXPENDITURE OF 360,000 FOR RENT AND OPERATING COSTS BUT TRULY THE OPERATING COST ALSO INCLUDE THE FACT THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HIRE A PERSON TO OPERATE THE FACILITY AT 50,000 DOLLARS A YEAR IS THAT CORRECT CORRECT OKAY SO THIS AUTHORIZATION REALLY THEN SHOULD BE ADDING ANOTHER 150,000 DOLLARS IS THAT CORRECT WE DID NOT PUT THAT AUTHORIZATION IN BECAUSE IT'S IN THE BUDGET AND IT'S A PROCUREMENT THAT WE COULD ADMINISTRATIVELY MANAGE OKAY I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT I THANK YOU FOR THAT DAY THAT'S HELPFUL I SAW THAT IT WAS IN THE ON I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO COME OUT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUT IT WASN'T CLEAR THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY ALREADY IN YOUR BUDGET SO THAT'S HELPFUL BUT JUST TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY ABOUT THE COMPLETE COST OF THIS FACILITY AND THEN LASTLY DO YOU ANTICIPATE KIRA ANY TENANT IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED FOR THIS BECAUSE TO BE CANDID THE DIAGRAM THAT CHRISTINA SHOWED AND IT'S LOVELY WITH THE CLASSROOM SPACE AND THEN A SMALL KITCHEN AND THE SMALL CONFERENCE OVERHEAD PROJECTION I'M WONDERING AGAIN IT'S A PIZZA PARLOR OR IT WAS HAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET IT UP AND RUNNING TO A FACILITY THAT CAN REALLY HANDLE MEETINGS OF THE CALIBER THAT THE PORT OF SEATTLE NEEDS SO LET ME ANSWER A COUPLE OF THE DISCRETE ASPECTS OF YOUR QUESTION THEN WE'LL FORWARD RESPONSES TO THE MARKET ANALYSIS LATER BY SEPARATE COVER I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS ARE GOING TO LARGELY BE HANDLED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER SO THE INTENTION IS FOR THE PORT STAFF TO MOVE DIRECTLY INTO THE FACILITY AS IT'S OUTLINED WE HAD TO DO A COMPREHENSIVE CODE ANALYSIS TO ASSURE OURSELVES THAT WE COULD GET AN OCCUPANCY PERMIT AS SHE POINTED OUT WAS A PIZZA PARLOR AND NOW IT'S AN OFFICE IN COMMUNITY SPACE SO RECTIFICATION AROUND OCCUPANCY PRINCIPLES OF ANY CODE IS NECESSARY AND SOME BUILD OUT WAS REQUIRED WHICH THE LANDLORD WILL HANDLE AND THEN AS I POINTED OUT ALSO THERE'S THE SPLIT BETWEEN THE VALUE OF THE RENT FOR THE OFFICE FACILITY AND THE VALUE OF THE RENT FOR THE PARKING FACILITIES SO THERE ARE DIFFERENT RATES BUT I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH SAYS FOR COVER ON HOW THE MARKET WAS ANTICIPATED AT THE TIME WE NEGOTIATED THE LEASE OKAY THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL THANK YOU AND AGAIN I'M NOT AT ALL TRYING TO THROW COLD WATER ON THIS I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE TERMS OF THE LEASE AND THAT IT IS AN APPROPRIATE MARKET RATE LEASE FOR THIS MARKET RATE LEASE SO THAT WE DON'T RUN INTO ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE AUDITOR YOU KNOW IT'S ALWAYS A VERY GREAT VERY WELL INTENTIONED CERTAINLY MEETS A LOT OF COMMUNITY NEEDS I SUPPORT THESE BUT AGAIN I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE WITH THE LETTER OF THE LAW AND NOT RUNNING INTO ISSUES WITH THE AUDITOR AND THE GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS AND THEN THE LAST THING I'D ASK I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE TESTIFY AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT IN TERMS OF THE MARITIME HIGH SCHOOL AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE STAFF INTENDS TO MOVE FORWARD WOULD WE BE LEASING THE SPACE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL AND AT WHAT RATE WOULD WE I GUESS IT'S A QUESTION FOR KIRA HOW WOULD WE ANTICIPATE THE RATE FOR THAT YOU MEAN IN TERMS OF AN EFFECT YOU KNOW HAVING ADDITIONAL TENANTS OR SUB TENANTS IN THE SPACE IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE MEANING WELL YEAH EXACTLY SO HOW ARE WE DETERMINING THE RATE AND AGAIN IT'S A BUSINESS QUESTION AGAIN ABOUT GIFTS OF PUBLIC FUNDS AND WHILE I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND WE'VE GOT A FACILITY EVERYBODY SHOULD COME IN AND USE IT THERE ARE SOME RESTRICTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE CAN ALLOW FOR USE WITHOUT GETTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THAT AND I'M NOT SURE AND I GUESS THIS IS A QUESTION I DON'T ASK FOR LEGAL AS WELL WHETHER WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DONATE SPACE FOR A MARITIME HIGH SCHOOL SO IN EDUCATIONAL SPACE I'M NOT SURE THAT WITH OUR RCW WE CAN DONATE THAT AND SO I JUST WASN'T CLEAR WHETHER WE ARE PLANNING TO DONATE THE SPACE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL OR WHETHER WE WOULD BE LEASING IT OUT AND IF WE WERE GOING TO LEASE IT OUT AT HOW ARE WE DETERMINING WHAT THE MARKET RATE IS SO I'LL TIE THEM A LITTLE BIT WITH CHRISTINA BECAUSE I THINK SOME OF THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ARE TIED UP IN THE MANAGING PARTNER THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CONTRACTING FOR AND HOW WE SET RATES BUT I THINK THE INTENTION IS TO BREAK EVEN ON THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY SO THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE ANY PRESSURE ON THE CONCERNS AROUND PUBLIC FUNDS I SEE DAVE HAS A ANSWER THAT YES WE HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS ON THIS TOPIC WITH LEGAL AND CPL AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE HIRING AN OPERATOR JUST TO MAKE SURE THOSE LEASES USES ARE LEGITIMATE AND THAT WE'VE COVERED ALL SITUATIONS WE'LL HAVE TO ESTABLISH A BASIS FOR THE RENT AND WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT APPROVE ALL SUB TENANTS IN THE BUILDING WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAND THAT RESPONSIBILITY OVER TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT CLOSE BUT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION WE'LL HAVE TO ESTABLISH A BASIS BASED ON HOW MUCH THEY WANT TO USE THE FACILITY BOTH FREQUENCY AND SPACE OKAY THANK YOU SO THANKS KARA FOR GETTING BACK TO ME ABOUT THE OTHER ISSUES IN TERMS OF THE MARKET RATE CURRENTLY APPRECIATE THAT NO PROBLEM THANK YOU COMMISSIONER BOM AND MOVING TO COMMISSIONER COCKIN THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION AS YOU KNOW I FOLLOWED THIS FAIRLY CLOSELY I HAD A CHANCE TO GO DOWN AND TOUR THE SPACE A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS AGO WHEN WE DID OUR OPEN HOUSE AND THE PARKING LOT FOR THE MARITIME HIGH SCHOOL OF JANUARY ENROLLMENT WINDOW IT WAS A REMARKABLE EVENT AND I ARRIVED ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO THE EVENT A COUPLE HOUR WINDOW THAT WE HAD AND I WAS PULLING UP WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD AND THERE WAS A LINE OF ABOUT 50 PEOPLE WAITING TO BE ADMITTED TO THE PARKING LOT AREA AS WE WERE METERING PEOPLE IN FOR COVID PRECAUTIONS AND I TURNED ON MY FIVE YEAR OLD AND I SAID THERE'S NO WAY THAT CAN BE FOR OUR EVENT BUT SURE ENOUGH AS WE CAME UP IT WAS A BUNCH OF FAMILIES FROM THE AREA STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS COMING TO LEARN ABOUT THIS REALLY EXCITING OPPORTUNITY AND SO IT'S JUST A GLIMPSE OF WHAT A SPACE LIKE THIS COULD MEAN FOR THAT COMMUNITY AND I'M EXTRAORDINARILY PROUD OF THE EFFORTS OF OUR STAFF TO MOVE THIS FORWARD I THINK THE SPACE ITSELF OBVIOUSLY IT IS GOING TO NEED THOSE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS THAT KIRA MENTIONED AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE LANDLORD WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN A PART OF THAT AS SOMEBODY WHO USED TO LEASE SPACE IN SOUTH PARK ABOUT A HALF A MILE AWAY IN THE BIG I FORGET THE ACTUAL NAME OF THE WAREHOUSE SPACE OVER BY THE BOEING MACHINIST HALL BUT SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD RATE TO ME SO I APPRECIATE THE FOLLOW UP BUT I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO COME IN RIGHT AT MARKET RATE AND IT'S ALSO YOU KNOW GOOD BRIEF TELL STOREFRONT SPACE RIGHT THERE TOO SO I UNDERSTAND IF THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A PREMIUM RIGHT AT THE KIND OF MAIN INTERSECTION IN SOUTH PARK IN ADDITION ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN REFLECTING ON A LOT IN THIS PROJECT IS I'VE BEEN READING A BOOK BY BJ COMINGS RECENTLY CALLED THE RIVER THAT BUILT SEATTLE AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE LISTENING AND PARTICULARLY TO MY COLLEAGUES AS A REMINDER OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORK THAT IS COMING OUT OF THIS COMMUNITY IN PARTICULAR IN COLLABORATION OF THE PORT AND PCAT NOT TO I REALLY FIX SOME OF THE LEGACY DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE TO THIS ECOSYSTEM AND TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT LIVED THERE AND IT IS A REMINDER THAT AS I READ THE BOOK ONE OF THE STRIKING MOMENTS FOR ME WAS THE REALIZATION THAT WHEN MY GREAT GRANDFATHER ARRIVED TO SEATTLE AND WHEN MY GRANDPARENTS WERE BORN HERE THIS WAS A VERY SMALL TOWN THE TIME I MEAN JUST TWO GENERATIONS AGO AND THE WORK THAT WAS DONE ALONG THAT RIVER THAT TO ESSENTIALLY STRAIGHTEN THE RIVER AND THEN THE POLLUTION THAT OCCURRED OVER THE SUBSEQUENT TWO DECADES IS GOING TO TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK TO DO BUT THE FACT THAT THE PORT IS PART OF THE SOLUTION IS SOMETHING I I FEEL GREAT PRIDE IN AND WE PASSED THE DAMES VALLEY COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT AND THIS IS A REALLY STRONG FIRST STEP IN HONORING THAT COMMITMENT THAT WE MADE AND I THINK ALL TOLD IT'S A IT'S A SMALL PRICE WE'RE PAYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN BE A PART OF THAT COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION AND I'LL JUST END BY SHARING SOMETHING THAT OUR PARTNER THERE PAULINA LOPEZ HAS REMINDED ME AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF PROSPERITY IN PLACE AND THAT A CENTER LIKE THIS WILL HELP TO ENSURE THAT THE BENEFITS WILL COME FROM THE CLEANUP EFFORTS FROM THE FOCUS ON JOB CREATION IN THE AREA ARE REALLY INTENDED TO AVOID GENTRIFICATION BUT TO ALLOW THE FOLKS WHO ARE LIVING THERE NOW TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND SO A COMMUNITY CENTER SPACE LIKE THIS AND A MARITIME HIGH SCHOOL THAT IS DRAWING ON STUDENTS FROM THAT AREA IS REALLY INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE NEW EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME FROM THIS REVITALIZATION WILL BENEFIT THE FOLKS WHO LIVE THERE NOW SO I THINK THERE HAS BEEN GREAT VERY THOUGHTFUL WORK TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF THOSE BENEFITS COME ALONG THIS PROJECT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING IT THANK YOU COMMISSIONER COCKINS MOVING TO COMMISSIONER TO I ACTUALLY THINK RYAN PUT IT PERFECTLY AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE A SHAMELESS PLUG FOR THE BOOK THE RIVER THAT MADE SEATTLE I ACTUALLY HAVE A COPY IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE OF MY BACKGROUND YOU SAID THERE WE GO I THINK THAT AGAIN GOING BACK TO MY EARLIER POINT THIS MEETING ABOUT VALUES STUFF LIKE THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR VALUES AS A COMMISSION AS AN ORGANIZATION TO TO CORRECT OR WRONG AND TO MAKE UP FOR PAST WRONGS AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK HERE AND DAVE AND CHRISTINA EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING IN THAT COMMUNITY I THINK IS REALLY CHANGING THE PERCEPTION OF OF SEATTLE AND THAT CANNOT BE OVERSTATED AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING THIS AND GOING FOR IT THANK YOU COMMISSIONER THE COMMISSIONER TIMBROOK SURE WELL THERE'S NOT MUCH MORE I CAN ADD HERE I REALLY WOULD SECOND AND ECHO THE COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUES THIS IS INCREDIBLE RETURN ON VALUE OR WILL PROVIDE AN INCREDIBLE RETURN ON OUR CONTRIBUTION FINANCIALLY HERE AND I LOOKED INTO THE LEASE RATE AND SO FORTH AND I UNDERSTAND THAT HEARTLAND DID A COMMERCIAL RENT ANALYSIS AND HAS VALIDATED IT AS A PRETTY GOOD RATE 28 DOLLARS A SQUARE FOOT PER ANNUM PLUS THE PARKING SO I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES THERE MYSELF BUT I'M ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROGRAMMING FOR THIS FACILITY AND HOW VALUABLE A CONTRIBUTION IT'S GOING TO MAKE TO THIS COMMUNITY AND CITY WIDE I THINK AS WELL FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT FOR WORKFORCE FOR GREEN JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND MARITIME HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH OR TRAINING CENTER COMMISSIONER CALKINS I'M DISAPPOINTED YOU DIDN'T INVITE YOUR COLLEAGUES TO THE MOMENTOUS OCCASION OF ACTUALLY SEEING YOU KNOW THE OPPORTUNITY BEING ESTABLISHED HERE THAT YOU'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR AND HAVE BEEN SO COMMITTED TO SO I'M REALLY THRILLED ABOUT THAT AND IT WILL SERVE THE PORT WELL INTO THE FUTURE SO ENORMOUS THANKS TO CHRISTINA TO KARA AND TO DAVE MCFADDEN DIRECTOR OF OUR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM I DID HAVE A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS WHAT IS THE TRANSIT SERVICE AVAILABILITY TO THIS LOCATION BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY VERY IMPORTANT PARTICULARLY FOR YOU AND TWO WAS THE CITY EVER APPROACHED AS A PARTNER BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A MEANINGFUL PURPOSEFUL USE AS A COMMUNITY CENTER IT SEEMS TO ME THERE OUGHT TO BE CITY PARTICIPATION IN IT THIS IS QUESTION I CAN HAVE DRY ANSWER THE ONE ABOUT TRANSIT IS AVAILABLE YEAH OF COURSE THANK YOU CHRISTINA SO SOMETHING THAT SHOWED UP FOR ME ON A PREVIOUS COMMISSIONER WAS ASKING ABOUT ARE BRINGING UP THE DUWAMISH LONG HOUSE AS AN EXAMPLE I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE DUWAMISH LONG HOUSE FOR ME TO GET THERE VIA TRANSIT BECAUSE I MADE BUS ONLY IN PERSON TAKES ALMOST AN HOUR WHEREAS THIS LOCATION IT TAKES RIGHT AROUND 20 MINUTES FOR ME TO GET THERE SO IT INCREASES THE AVAILABILITY OF TRANSIT AND TO REALLY CONNECT THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF GEORGETOWN ON SOUTH PARK BECAUSE IT'S SO CLOSE RIGHT THERE TO THE EDGE SO IT'S A REALLY GREAT PLACE FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE DUWAMISH VALLEY TO MEET UP RIGHT THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR YOU ANSWERED THAT QUESTION AND ABOUT THE CITY COMMISSIONERS HAVE OPPORTUNITY COMMISSIONER STEIN RICK I'D BE HAPPY TO ILLUMINATE ON THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS OVER THE LAST QUARTER EXPLORE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE CITY AND THE DUWAMISH IN PARTICULAR INCLUDING CHRISTINA'S WORK WITH CITY STAFF THAT WORKS IN THE DUWAMISH TO COME UP ON JOINT PROJECTS OF INTEREST THAT WE ARE GOING TO CHEW ON AND TRY AND PUSH FOR THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR SO ALRIGHT WE'RE BUILDING ON THAT COOPERATION IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S WORTH A SHOT LAST I JUST WANT A COMMENT THAT MY DAD USED TO TELL ME STORIES REGARDING HIS SWIMMING IN THE RIVER BEFORE IT WAS CATALYZED HE GREW UP IN GEORGE HE WAS A BOY IN GEORGETOWN HAD FRIENDS IN SOUTH PARK WHO MANY WHO WORKED IN SMALL FARMS THERE THAT PROVIDED FRESH LOCAL PRODUCTS TO THE PIKE PLACE MARKET MAYBE THAT'S WHERE HE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MARKET BUT THOSE WERE HIS NEIGHBORHOODS GROWING UP AND IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE BUT A SWIMMING AND CANOEING THE RIVER BEFORE IT WAS YOU KNOW CHANNELIZED IN THOSE EARLY YEARS SO A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY THANKS GREAT WORK THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS DINER COMMISSION PRESIDENT FALLOMON THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I LOVE THE CONNECTION TO THE T 117 RESTORATION EFFORT AND WHEN STEPHANIE INITIATED THE OPPORTUNITY FUND AND WE GOT PUSHED HARD TO GET LIKE WORKING WITH WIRE NINE AND HAVING SALMON RESTORATION BE SEEN AS JOBS AT THE PORT SUPPORT THAT THINGS WERE INITIALLY NOT SEEN AS THE SAME LEGAL NEXUS THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON THE KIND OF JOBS THAT WE NORMALLY SEE IS POOR JOBS AND THIS YOU KNOW CLEARLY BUILDS BEAUTIFULLY ON TO THAT BUT ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU'VE ALREADY HAD GOING WAS THE DIRT CORE PROGRAM AND I SEE THAT THE THE DIRT CORE IS ONE OF THE TENANTS ARE OR POTENTIAL FOLKS THAT ARE MAKING USE OF THIS GREAT SPACE AND THAT THEY HAVE DIRECTLY A GREEN JOBS PROGRAM SO I JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD PUT SOME MORE FLESH ON THE BONES FROM WHAT THE THE PARAGRAPH THAT'S IN THE BRIEFING MEMO ON THAT SURE YES THANK YOU SO MUCH YEAH THE DUWAMISH RIVER GREEN JAWS PROGRAM WAS PILOTED IN BACK IN 2,018 TO TWO NEW THOUSAND AND 19 AND THAT WAS AN ONSITE JOBS TRAINING PROGRAM HIRING DIRT CORE WHICH IS A SMALL GROUP BASED OUT OF GEORGETOWN TO LEAD IN HABITAT RESTORATION TRAINING SO USING OUR PORT PROPERTIES OUR PORT SHORELINE PROPERTIES UP AND DOWN THE DIANA SHIVER TO DO HABITAT RESTORATION WORK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT USUALLY REALLY DON'T HAVE ACCESS FOR MULTIPLE REASONS VARIOUS BARRIERS TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SECTOR TO GAIN CAREERS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL SECTOR SO DIRT CORE IS JUST DONE USING JOB PILING THE PROJECT WITH US USING ONLY FOUR PORT PROPERTIES BACK BACK THEN 2,019 AND NOW THEY'RE SUPPORTING A MULTI COALITION EFFORT WORKING WITH THE DUWAMISH TRIBAL SERVICES DUMASIE CLEANUP COALITION VOSHELL YOUTH CORE AND ECHOES TO FIGURE OUT WHAT COMMA ARE INTERESTED IN THESE TYPES OF OPPORTUNITIES IN THESE CAREERS GAME CAREERS GAME THOSE SKILLS BASIC SKILLS AND YOU KNOW IN GREEN JOBS AND THEN TURN THAT INTO KIND OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHER AGENCIES INCLUDING THE PORT OF SEATTLE TO HIRE THOSE FOLKS ON INTO INTERNSHIPS POTENTIALLY SO THERE'S BEEN REALLY GREAT OUTCOMES REALLY TO YOUTH EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS UNDER EMPLOYED ADULTS BENEFITING FROM THAT PROGRAM SO WE ARE IN TALKS WITH DIRT CORE RIGHT NOW ABOUT WHETHER THEY WOULD BE A TENANT HERE THERE IS INTEREST CERTAINLY AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO AGAIN FIGURE OUT THE PRICE POINT AND EVERYTHING TO MAKE THAT VALUABLE FOR FOR THIS TO BE A SPACE FOR THAT THANKS AND I COULD SEE THEM PROVIDING SOME IN KIND SERVICES IF INDEED THEY'RE STILL STEWARDING OUR PARKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ONE OF THE OTHER PARTNERS THAT I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT I THINK WE'VE HAD SOME WORK WITH THE VETERANS CONSERVATION CORE I KEEP ON HARKENING BACK TO YOU I'VE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH JOHN BELL OVER THE YEARS AND AND THIS IS SOMETHING PART OF HIS LEGACY BUT ALSO PART OF OUR OBLIGATIONS TO OUR VETERANS THAT THERE'S A REAL THESE FOLKS CAN CARRY A SHOVEL BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY COULD ALSO USE THE OUTSIDE AIR AND AND I'M JUST WONDERING HOW DOES IT OR HAVE A RELATIONSHIP OR IS THERE ANY EFFORTS TO TO ENGAGE THE VETERAN SQUARE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT CORE THERE'S A PUGET SOUND CORE THERE'S A CONSERVATION CORE BUT THE VET I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT BUT I LOVE THE IDEA OF IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE'VE MADE OUT REACH TO IT YEAH THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT IS ONE OF THE KIND OF TARGET CONSTITUENTS IN THE DIRT CORE SCOPE TO VETERANS AND FORMERLY IMPRESS RATED FOLKS YOUTH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT FOLKS SO THERE'S A BIG LIST THAT THEY'RE TASK TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT CAN WORK IN BRINGING PEOPLE IN SO I'M HAPPY TO CHECK WITH THEM TO SEE KIND OF WHERE THEY ARE AND WHICH ORGANIZATIONS WHICH ARE BETTER AND ORGANIZATIONS THEY'RE REACHING OUT TO I JUST REACHED OUT TO DALLAS WOULD AGREE OVER IT AS A VETERAN HIMSELF AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE US MAKE THAT AND OF COURSE WITH OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BEING A VETERAN OF SORTS AS WELL YOU KNOW I THINK THIS IS APPROPRIATE FOR OUR ORGANIZATION AND THERE'S A LOT OF HEALING TO GO AROUND AND JOHN BILL USED TO ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THAT AND I JUST IT JUST STRIKES ME AS THE RIGHT THING TO DO SO ANYWAY I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING MORE ABOUT MAKING THIS A SUSTAINABLE RENTAL RELATIONSHIP BUT I SEE SO MANY DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF ESPECIALLY THAT PORT STAFF ITSELF CAN BE MAKING USE OF IT SO I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE CREATIVITY AND HARD WORK AND THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY THAT DAY YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE RIGHT SO AND BELIEVE A TREMENDOUS PARTNER SO THANK YOU AGAIN IT'S COMMISSION PRESIDENT COMMISSIONER BOWMAN HAS HER HAND UP OH I'M SORRY THAT I MIGHT THANK YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY I GUESS THAT'S JUST THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO SAY THAT I GOT TO SPEAK FIRST AND I FEEL LIKE I'M ALWAYS THE ONE THAT THROWS COLD WATER ON SOME OF THESE GREAT IDEAS AND THEY'RE GREAT IDEAS AND AGAIN I WANT TO REALLY COMPLEMENT CHRISTINA AND THE REST OF THE TEAM FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD IT SEEMS LIKE A REALLY CREATIVE AND PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANTLY VALUABLE COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY AS COMMISSIONER CALCINED AND HIS COMMISSIONER HE MENTIONED REALLY WRITING SOME WRONGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER COUNTLESS GENERATIONS IN THE SOUTH ENDING IN THE DUWAMISH IN PARTICULAR SO AGAIN I'M GOING TO ASK AGAIN FOR MY COMMENTS TO BE TAKEN AT FACE VALUE FOR WHAT THEY ARE AND CONCERNS AGAIN JUST ABOUT THE FACT THAT FROM OUR ROLE AS PORT COMMISSIONERS ACTING AS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAVING INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACTUAL LEASE IT'S COMPARABLE TO OTHER PROPERTIES AND WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN LOOKED AT IS REALLY OUR FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY SO I HAVE I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL PROJECT I THINK IT'S A GREAT COMMUNITY INVESTMENT AND I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING IT BUT I'M UNCOMFORTABLE IN DOING SO TODAY UNTIL I HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE PERHAPS COMMISSIONER STEIN BROKE ALREADY GOT THAT INFORMATION AND THAT'S WONDERFUL I HOPE THAT IN THE FUTURE STEVE THAT WE CAN HAVE MORE OF THAT BUILT INTO THE MEMOS SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THIS AS WELL IT'S NOT JUST FOR THE COMMISSION BUT IT'S ALSO FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE REASSURED THAT WE HAVE DONE OUR HOMEWORK ON THIS AND AGAIN I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE HAVE BUT I THINK FOR TRANSFER ARE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THOSE THINGS TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC SO I WOULD ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO CONSIDER IF WE COULD DELAY A VOTE ON THIS UNTIL WE CAN HAVE THAT INFORMATION AND SHOW IT TO THE PUBLIC COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT BUT BECAUSE I WASN'T GIVEN THIS INFORMATION IN ADVANCE IT'S REALLY CHALLENGING FOR ME TO GO AHEAD AND SUPPORT THIS TODAY BUT I VERY MUCH INTEND TO BECAUSE I'M SURE CURE IS CAN PROVIDE US EXACTLY WITH WHAT WE'VE ASKED FOR THANK YOU OKAY SO ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WE CAN GO AROUND THE RING TIME MR IBRIK DOES HAVE HIS HAND UP I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT NOW THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN WORK ALSO OUR PORT STAFF HAVE BEEN GREAT AND TERRIFIC JOB HERE BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP THAT TOOK A LOT OF I'M SURE VOLUNTEER TIME PASSION COMMITMENT AND VISION ON THE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALWAYS DANGEROUS TO MENTION SOME IF NOT ALL OF THEM SO I COULDN'T BEGIN TO SAY WHO THEY ARE BUT I SUPPOSE CHRISTINA WHO'S WORKED SO CLOSELY HERE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AND I HAVE NO DISCOMFORT WHATSOEVER VOTING ON THIS TODAY I BELIEVE WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND HOME MARKETS BEEN LEGALLY REVIEWED FOR ANY POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH REGARD TO GIFT THE PUBLIC FUNDS WE'RE GETTING CONSIDERABLE VALUE A MEASURABLE VALUE IN RETURN AND THE LEASE RATE IS WELL WITHIN FROM LEASING EXPERT OR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE EXPERT BUT I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WITH HOMES WORK HERE THAT HAS VALIDATED THE REASONABLE LEASE TERMS AS CONSISTENT WITH PROPERTIES IN SOUTH PARK COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SO I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE I WOULD PREFER NOT TO DELAY THIS I THINK THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK LEADING UP TO IT TO THIS POINT AND I THINK WE TAKE SOME OF THE EXCITEMENT AND MOMENTUM AND ENTHUSIASM OUT OF IT BY DELAYING IT IF WE WERE TO DO THAT TODAY SO I WILL JUST ASK A QUESTION COMMISSIONER STAR BUT PERHAPS YOU COULD FORWARD ME THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED THAT I DIDN'T RECEIVE I'M REFERRING TO THE MEMO THAT WAS IN OUR BOOKS RIGHT I'M REFERRING TO THAT AS WELL AND I JUST DIDN'T SEE THE INFORMATION PAGE SEVEN OUT OF IS THE MEMO I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY READ THE HEARTLAND STUDY BUT I KNOW HEARTLAND AS A VERY REPUTABLE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND CONSULTING FIRM AND I'VE WORKED WITH THEM MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS BUT GOING BACK TO MY DAYS AT THE CITY OF SEATTLE SO I THINK THE TEST HAS BEEN MET AND VALIDATED IN THAT REGARD I DON'T PERSONALLY NEED TO READ THEIR ANALYSIS BUT TO MENTION THAT IT IS IN THE MEMO CA I'M SORRY COULD YOU SHOW ME WHERE IN THE MEMO THE SEVEN UNDER RENTAL RATES RIGHT IN THE MEMO WHERE IS HEARTLAND MENTIONED IT'S UNDER THE PARAGRAPH RENTAL RATES ABOUT TWO THIRDS DOWN IT BREAKS IT DOWN BY BUILDING AND PARKING WHO DO I SEE THAT COMMISSIONER TIME OK I'M LOOKING FOR THE HEARTLAND ANALYSIS WELL IT JUST REFERS TO HEARTLAND JUST ABOVE AN IMPROVEMENT RIGHT JUST ABOVE B AN OPERATING EXPENSE THAT'S RIGHT IT DOESN'T GIVE THE ANALYSIS BUT I MEAN BECAUSE WE'VE HAD LEGAL REVIEW THERE'S AT LEAST SOME CLARITY THAT GIFTS OF PUBLIC FUNDS ISN'T AN ISSUE BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO DEBATE HIS FURTHER WE SHOULD PUT A MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND THEN WE COULD CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION IS THERE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM 10 A SO MOVED SECOND OKAY SO THE MOTIONS BEEN SECONDED MADE AND SECONDED SO IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION PLEASE CALL THE ROLE BEGINNING WITH COMMISSIONER BEEN NO I GUESS I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS AGAIN I FEEL REALLY BACKED IN I'LL BE REALLY HONEST COMMISSIONER STANBURG I SO MUCH APPRECIATE THAT BASED ON THIS ONE SENTENCE I JUST WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED MORE INFORMATION AGAIN I VERY MUCH WANT TO SUPPORT THIS I FEEL BACKED INTO A CORNER IN DOING SO WITHOUT HAVING RECEIVED A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AND AGAIN WE'VE GOT WONDERFUL STAFF AND THEY DO GREAT WORK AND I I THINK JUST MORE SO THAT I COULD GO BACK AND EXPLAIN TO CONSTITUENTS AND TAXPAYERS AND THE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE YES WE HAVE A STUDY AND HERE'S WHAT IT SAID IN TERMS OF COMPARABLE MARKET RATE AGAIN THE INTENTION OF THE FACILITY IS WONDERFUL AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH COMMISSIONER STENBERG FOR POINTING OUT ALL THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ADDITION TO OUR STAFF IN BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND I AM NOT BY ANY MEANS TRYING TO THROW COLD WATER ON IT BUT I'M REALLY HAVING A CHALLENGE WITH VOTING FOR THIS TODAY WITHOUT HAVING SEEN ANY OF THAT SO I GUESS THAT'S IT THANK YOU COMMISSIONER BOWMAN COMMISSIONER CLOCKING FOR COMMENTS ON THE MOTION I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER STEIN BROOK THAT WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD ON THIS EVEN IF WE WERE TO FIND THAT THERE WAS LET'S SAY 10% POTENTIAL SAVINGS COMPARED TO MARKET RATE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 12,000 DOLLARS I DOUBT THAT WE'LL FIND THAT YOU KNOW IT'S A PRIVATE PARTY NEGOTIATION ON COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BUT OKAY LET'S SAY WE GET THE SAVINGS SO WE SAVE THE THOUSAND DOLLARS OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR IN THE INTERIM WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STAFF TIME ON ANOTHER CYCLE OF THIS VERY TOPIC WE'RE GOING TO USE MORE OF OUR PUBLIC MEETING TO COVER SOMETHING THAT I THINK SHOULD BE A SLAM DUNK BASED ON THE WORK DONE BY OUR STAFF SO I'M GOING TO REALLY ENCOURAGE THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH A VOTE AND WHEN OPPORTUNITIES I KNOW THAT WE'RE ALL OFFERED A STAFF BRIEFING AHEAD OF THIS MEETING AND THAT'S THE MOMENT TO REALLY DIG INTO THESE DETAILS AND SO I ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES TO MAKE USE OF THOSE STAFF BRIEFINGS FOR THAT MAKE SURE THEY ACCEPT THE WHEN THEY'RE OFFERED AND SO THAT WE CAN GET TO THESE MEETINGS WITH ALL BUT THE BIGGEST POTENTIAL OBSTACLES ALREADY RESULTED THANK YOU COMMISSIONER COCKINS MOVING TO COMMISSIONER CHO YOU KNOW I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS THAT THE BOT HAS I THINK THAT MAYBE IT'S A GOOD FOLLOW UP AFTER TODAY TO JUST PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO ALL OF US SO THAT WE HAVE IT AND I ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE MAKE SOME

PRESENTERS THANK YOU THAT IS ITEM 10 TH THE REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE A SERVICE CONTRACT WITH TERRACYCLE INCORPORATED FOR REGULATED WASTE OF FOOSBALL THANK YOU THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ELEMENT COMMISSIONERS FEDERAL REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT WAS DISPOSED FROM ARRIVING INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS MUST BE PROCESSED SEPARATELY INTO A US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE CULTURE PERMITTED ENTITY THE CURRENT PROVIDER HAS SOLD THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS TO ANOTHER PARTY AND WILL SEE IS PROVIDING THIS SERVICE AT SEA WE RECEIVE SHORT NOTICE OF THIS CHANGE SO I WANT TO THANK PRESIDENT FELLMAN COMMISSION STAFF AND AVIATION STAFF ARE PROBABLY GETTING THIS ONTO OUR COMMISSION AGENDA IN A RAPID FASHION TO AVOID DISRUPTION OF THIS VITAL SERVICE PRESENTERS ARE KEITH WARNER UTILITIES MANAGER AVIATION FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND MIKE TASKER SENIOR MANAGER AVIATION FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE PRESENTERS PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF COMMISSIONERS WILL REMAIN MUTED UNTIL THE PRESENT ATION IS COMPLETE AT THIS TIME I WILL CALL ON EACH OF YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I THINK AT THAT TIME I'M SORRY GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS AND EXECUTE DIRECTOR METRIC I MIKE TASK OR SENIOR MANAGER OF AVIATION FACILITIES ON INFRASTRUCTURE SILLIES INFRASTRUCTURE IS THE GROUP THAT DELIVERS THE UTILITIES TO THE AIRPORT SUPPORTED BY OUR MAINTENANCE PARTNERS KEITH WARREN OR UTILITY MANAGER WILL BE BRIEFING YOU ON THE RECENT CHALLENGE WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH WITH REGULATED GARBAGE I'LL BE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE SO KEEP OVER TO YOU THANK YOU MIKE AND GOOD AFTERNOON I'LL PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE BACKGROUND DESCRIBE OUR CURRENT SITUATION AND THEN WE'LL BE OPEN FOR QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHORIZATION SO AS NOTED EARLIER THE REGULATED GARBAGE ARISE FROM INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS AND IS REGULATED BY THE USDA THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE WASTE IS MANAGED FROM THE CABIN THROUGH THE FLIGHT KITCHENS AND SO FLIGHT KITCHENS UTILIZE DISPOSAL TECHNIQUES AND THEN FOR THE PORT ITSELF WITHIN THE TERMINAL WE MANAGE WASTE COMING FROM TRASH CONTAINERS PRIOR TO PRE CUSTOMS AND THEN ANY QUARANTINED MATERIALS FROM CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION ARE COLLECTED WITHIN THE TERMINAL AND THEN MANAGE FOR YOUR DISPOSAL AS NOTED THIS IS REGULATED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE REQUIRES SECURE HANDLING AND DESTRUCTIVE TREATMENT NOW THE TREATMENT IS EITHER THROUGH AN AUTOCLAVE WHICH HEATS UP THE MATERIAL TO ELIMINATE THE PESTS OR THE HAZARDS AND THEN IS LANDFILLED OR INCINERATION IS ANOTHER DISPOSAL OPTION PRIOR TO 2,003 THE PORT IS PORT OF SEATTLE ACTUALLY OPERATED AN AUTOCLAVE TO MANAGE THIS MATERIAL AT THAT POINT THERE WERE MARKET SOLUTIONS AND WE SWITCHED OVER TO UTILIZING AN AUTOCLAVE IN THE SEATTLE AREA AND WE'VE DONE THAT UP UNTIL THIS PERIOD TIME PERIOD RIGHT NOW BUT AS WAS NOTED THAT WE RECEIVED NOTICE AT THE END OF DECEMBER THAT THAT OPERATION WAS BEING SOLD TO ANOTHER MEDICAL FACILITY AND THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN HANDLING THE REGULATED GARBAGE PORTION THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MANAGE MEDICAL WASTE GOING FORWARD AND THEY ARE RELOCATING ALL OF THAT EQUIPMENT TO OTHER STATES OR TO CENTRAL OREGON SO WE FOUND OURSELVES WITH SHORT NOTICE TO FIND OTHER MARKET SOLUTIONS FOR THIS AND SO JOINTLY BETWEEN THE PART OF SEATTLE AND SOME OF THE OTHER IMPACTED PARTIES SUCH AS THE FLIGHT KITCHENS WE BAN IN LOOKING AT MARKET OPTIONS AND THERE WERE NOT VERY MANY AVAILABLE ACTUALLY THE ONLY OTHER FACILITY WHERE WE CAN SEND THIS WAY TOO WITHIN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON IS SINCE POCAN BUT THERE WERE NO REGULATED HAULERS THAT HAD THE PERMITS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT THERE SO FINALLY LAST WEEK THROUGH A LOT OF WORK AND EFFORT WE HAD SEVERAL PROPOSALS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES AND THE ONE THAT IS READY TO GO DAY ONE IS STERA CYCLE AND THAT'S THE PROPOSAL THAT WE'RE BRINGING FOR TODAY THEY'VE WORKED TO MOBILIZE THE EQUIPMENT TO BE ABLE TO SERVE ALL OF THE AIRPORTS NEEDS ON THIS FROM THE FLIGHT KITCHEN AS WELL AS FROM THE PART OF SEATTLE AND LET'S SEE WE DID DO A LOT OF DUE DILIGENCE IN TERMS OF THE OTHER PROPOSALS THEY JUST WERE NOT READY TO GO SO WE'RE ASKING TODAY FOR YOUR AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH THIS CONTRACT IT WILL BE FOR THREE YEARS THIS MATERIAL WILL BE ACTUALLY SENT TO A FACILITY IN OREGON IT IS CLOSER IT'S A WASTE OF ENERGY FACILITY SO IT WILL BE AN INCINERATION PROCESS MUCH AS THE SPOKANE FACILITY IS BUT THE ORGAN FACILITY IS QUITE A BIT SHORTER DISTANCE SO AT THAT POINT LIKE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I'M READY TO TAKE ON QUESTIONS OKAY SO HEARING NONE KEITH MICE AND MEN THIS IS VERY HELPFUL VERY INTERESTING AND I WOULD I HAD MY HAND UP I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU TO UNMUTE YOURSELF I WILL TAKE QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME I'M SORRY I'M JUST TRYING TO BE PATIENT AND RESPECTFUL OF THE PRESIDENTS I'M JUST OPENING IT UP FOR ALL OF US TO GO BUT YOU CAN GO FIRST I'LL WAIT MY TURN IF WE'RE GONNA DO A ROUND OF QUESTIONS SO WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO THROUGH THE ROLE COMMISSIONERS PLEASE BEGINNING WITH COMMISSIONER BOMAN NO QUESTIONS THANK YOU THANK YOU COMMISSIONER COCKIN NONE FOR ME BUT I TELL YOU THIS JOB BRINGS NEW SURPRISES EVERY MONTH LEARNING THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE A SPECIAL WASTE DISPOSAL PROCESS FOR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS FASCINATING BUT THANKS FOR THE GREAT NUMBER ONE PRESENTATION THANK YOU MISS ONE TO NO LESS THANK YOU MR TIMBROOK ACTUALLY I'M GOING TO PASS AT THIS TIME THANK YOU YEAH I HOPE I DIDN'T DISSUADE YOU NO IT'S NOT PARTICULARLY APROPOS I'M FINE I FIND WITH THE PROPOSAL THANK YOU COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER FELLA MAN WELL I JUST WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT MAYBE SOME FOLKS DON'T REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THAT THE FLIGHT KITCHENS DON'T JUST MAKE THE FOOD RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE TRASH AND I UNDERSTAND THEY ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE RECYCLING AND THEY STILL DON'T GET PAID LIKE NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS SO THEY'RE PROVIDING ESSENTIAL SERVICES HERE AND THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN CLEVER ENOUGH TO FIND A WAY TO GET THIS HANDLED APPROPRIATELY WE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE BUT THERE'S A CRITICAL MIDDLE PERSON IN THIS PROCESS THAT WE STILL HAVE TO HAVE THAT SITUATION RESOLVED HAVING SAID THAT I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THIS HAS TO BE INCINERATED IS THERE NO OTHER TREATMENT FACILITIES FOR THIS CAN WE NOT TURN INTO BIOFUEL OR SOMETHING WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SO THE ONLY APPROVED PROCESSES ARE TO UTILIZE STEAM IN AN AUTOCLAVE TO HEAT IT UP AND THEN WE STILL HAVE TO DISPOSE OF IT THROUGH A LANDFILL SO THAT'S THE CURRENT SITUATION THAT'S HANDLED IN SEATTLE BUT THAT OPERATION IS CLOSING DOWN AND SO ONLY THE TWO NEAREST OPTIONS ARE IN SPOKANE AND IN OREGON AND THAT IS A WASTE TO ENERGY FACILITY SO WE ARE CAPTURING ELECTRICAL ENERGY IT GENERATES ABOUT 13 MEGAWATTS FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY THERE IN WESTERN OREGON LET ME EXPLAIN AN AUTOCLAVE JUST FOR A VISUAL THINK OF A PRESSURE COOKER SO IT'S STEAM AND HEAT TO MAKE SURE WE KILL ALL THE ORGANISMS AND STUFF THAT COULD DAMAGE OR AGRICULTURE SO WHEN YOU HEAR AUTOPLAY PEOPLE CAN'T INTO A VISUAL THINK OF A BIG PRESSURE COOKER AND THE FACT THAT IT'S TURNING A TURBINE ALL THE BETTER SO THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION AND FOR YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND SCRAMBLING TO SOLVE THIS CRITICAL PROBLEM SO QUICKLY DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR MY COLLEAGUES YEAH I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION WHAT IS THE APPROXIMATE VOLUME OF WASTE MATERIAL NOW OBVIOUSLY TRAVEL IS WAY DOWN NOW BUT WHAT HAS BEEN YOU KNOW KIND OF ON AN ANNUALIZED BASIS THE QUANTITY JUST TO PUT SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THIS THE SURVEY THAT WE DID WITH THE FLIGHT KITCHENS AND INCLUDING OUR SMALL PORTION THE PORT PORTION IS ONLY ABOUT BUT IT'S 750 TONS A YEAR WHICH COMPARED TO THE TOTAL AIRPORT IS RELATIVELY SMALL YEAH THAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A WHOLE LOT SO IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE AIRLINES COULD FIND WAYS TO REDUCE WASTE WRAPPING AND PLASTIC AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND GO TO MORE BIODEGRADABLE BUT THAT'S JUST A WISH THAT I THINK WE SHARE WE CAN'T ENFORCE THAT ALTHOUGH WE DID GET RID OF STRAWS DIDN'T WE FRED FOR SOME TIME YES MOVING ON BUT JUST FOR CLARIFICATION OF WHAT COMMISSIONER SIN BREAK IS TALKING ABOUT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FOOD THAT THE AIRLINES ARE SERVING ON THE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT I WRAPPINGS AND CONTAINERS ALL OF THEM IT'S FOOD THAT WAS PUT ON THE AIRCRAFT AS AN INTERNATIONAL LOCATION AND WHETHER IT WAS UNUSED OR IT'S THE RESIDUAL OF THE FOOD FROM THAT INTERNATIONAL LOCATIONS WHAT RETURN BACK TO THE PLATE KITCHEN AND THERE'S PROBABLY A BIOHAZARD ISSUE WITH IT NOW TOO RIGHT THAT'S WHY IT HAS TO BE HANDLED IN THIS SPECIAL FASHION RIGHT SO WE'RE DEALING WITH BOTH ORGANIC AS WELL AS PLASTIC WASTE IN THIS PROCESS AND ALL OF THIS IS GETTING INCINERATED ALRIGHT SO THERE MUST BE SOME A MISSION CONTROL PROCESS OF COURSE THROUGH THAT BUT RATHER THAN DELIBERATING ANY FURTHER YOU FOUND THE ONE FACILITY THAT ACTUALLY CAN DO THIS FOR US I'M SURE IT'S PERMITTED SO LET US UNLESS EXECUTIVE METRIC DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO ADD ALTHOUGH I DON'T TO THIS DISCUSSION BUT IT IS A COMMISSION STEINBROOKE WAS TALKING ABOUT IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH WASTE THAT'S GENERATED FROM FOREIGN SOURCES JUST LIKE ANYTHING TRAVELING IN HAS TO BE PROPERLY DISPOSED OF TO AVOID CONTAMINATION OR BRINGING IN SPECIES OR OTHER THINGS THAT COULD BE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AND IT'S PART OF THAT PROCESS WE GOT TO PROTECT IT WRONG FOR SURE SO IS THERE A MOTION IN A SECOND TO BRAZIL ONE SECOND OKAY SO IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION CLEAR CART PLEASE CALL THE ROLL THANK YOU THIS IS FOR DISCUSSION ON THE MAIN MOTION BEGINNING WITH COMMISSIONER BOWMAN NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION THANK YOU THANK YOU COMMISSIONER COCKINS NONE FOR ME THANK YOU COMMISSIONER TO NO FOR ME THANK YOU COMMISSIONER DIBER NO FURTHER QUESTIONS THANK YOU THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ELAMAN NONE THANK YOU THANK YOU SO HERE IN FURTHER DISCUSSION

EFFORT BUT THEY ARE JUST A STARTING POINT WE ARE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT SET OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE EITHER COMPLETE OR IN PROGRESS AND WE ARE BUILDING UP AND OUT FROM THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ADAPTING TO CHANGING CONDITIONS SUCH AS COVID AND NEW TECHNOLOGICAL OPPORTUNITIES MOVING FORWARD FNI ARCHITECTURE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL LEAD THE INNER DEPARTMENTAL EFFORT TO IMPLEMENT ADDITIONAL

OPENING OUR FIRST SENSORY ROOM ON THE STS LEVEL BELOW CONCOURSE A IN FEBRUARY IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE A CALMING AND RESTORATIVE SPACE AND THE FURNITURE AND FINISHES WERE CAREFULLY SELECTED TO CREATE A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL ADDRESS THE SENSORY FEEDBACK NEEDS OF OUR PASSENGERS THE DESIGN PROCESS WAS HIGHLY COLLABORATIVE AND INCLUDED FEEDBACK FROM INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS NOT ONLY FOR THE SPACE ITSELF BUT ALSO FOR THE SIGNAGE AND ART AS SHOWN ON THE POWERPOINT THE SIGNAGE AND GRAPHICS TEAM DEVELOPED A CUSTOM WAYFINDING SYMBOL AND THE ART PROGRAM FACILITATED THE PROCUREMENT OF

DISTANCING ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR 2,021 GIVEN COBES DRAMATIC IMPACT ON TRAVEL WE ELECTED TO MOVE THE PROJECT BY AN ENTIRE YEAR NEXT SLIDE PLEASE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE ODO ASSESSMENT SEA BECAME THE FIRST AIRPORT IN THE U S TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INTERNATIONAL SUNFLOWER LANYARD PROGRAM IN OCTOBER OF 2,019 SOME FLOWER LANYARDS DISCREETLY SIGNAL THE STAFF THAT THE WAR OR A MEMBER IN THE GROUP HAS A HIDDEN DISABILITY SUCH AS AUTISM OR PTSD AND MAY NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT SINCE LAUNCHING IT IS NOW OFFERED AT SIX ADDITIONAL US AIRPORTS AND THERE IS GROWING MOMENTUM WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THERE WILL BE MORE AIRPORTS BY THE END OF THIS YEAR PARTICIPATING WE ARE HAPPY TO FOSTER THE PROGRAM'S NATIONAL GROWTH THROUGH OUR MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER AIRPORTS AND A QUARTERLY WORKING GROUP MEETING WE LAUNCHED LAST FALL NEXT SLIDE PLEASE TO HELP BRING THESE MANY INITIATIVES TOGETHER WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF SEA STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM RECENTLY CREATED AN SBA CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARDS MANUAL WHICH SPRINGS TOGETHER CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARDS FROM ACROSS THE AIRPORT INTO ONE DOCUMENT AND ACCESSIBILITY CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPECTATIONS HAVE BEEN INTEGRATED INTO THE STANDARDS OUR LEARNING TEAM WITHIN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS ALSO IN THE FINAL STRETCHES OF LAUNCHING A NEW EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ELEARNING FOR ALL BACH HOLDERS AND FINALLY I WANT TO JUST MENTION AS OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM MANAGER THE IMPORTANT ROLE THAT OUR VOLUNTEERS PLAY WITHIN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM AND ALTHOUGH LIKE OTHER AIRPORTS ARE VOLUNTEER TEAM HAS BEEN PAUSED SINCE MARCH DUE TO COPED TRAINING AND PROGRAM REFINEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ENSURE VOLUNTEERS ARE POISED FOR GROWTH AND TO BETTER MEET THE NEEDS OF TRAVELERS WITH DISABILITIES WHEN THEY DO RETURN NEXT SLIDE PLEASE SWITCHING TOPICS TO ENGAGEMENT JUST AS WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS IN REGARDS TO ACCESSIBILITY WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF ENGAGEMENT ENGAGEMENT WITHIN THE DISABILITY AVIATION AND BROADER COMMUNITIES AND THIS SUMMER TO THAT POINT WE LAUNCHED A REVISED ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE ALL VIRTUALLY THAT THIS HAS ALL BEEN BY MS TEAMS DUE TO COVID THIS WORKABLE SIZE GROUP IS COMPRISED OF PORT EMPLOYEES AND AN 11 EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS IT BRINGS TOGETHER A BALANCE OF NEW AND EXISTING VOICES WHO REPRESENT DIVERSE SECTORS OF THE DISABILITY COMMUNITIES SINCE LAUNCHING THE COMMITTEE HAS PROVIDED VALUABLE FEEDBACK ON SEVERAL TOPICS INCLUDING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ELEARNING WHICH I JUST MENTIONED SIGNAGE AN UPCOMING ROADWAY PROJECT AS WELL AS THE TOPICS OF HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS WITH INITIATIVES LIKE THE SENSORY ROOM THE SUNFLOWER LANYARD AND THE SOCIAL STORY AND WE PLAN TO SEEK THEIR GUIDANCE ON REMAINING ODO RECOMMENDATIONS NOT YET COMPLETE OR IN PROGRESS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEES CONTINUED IMPACT ON ACCESSIBILITY WORK AT SBA AND I ALSO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS JUST ONE WAY THAT WE GET FEEDBACK FROM THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY AND HEATHER AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON TOPICS AND WELCOME FEEDBACK FROM THOSE NOT ON THE COMMITTEE AND AN EXAMPLE OF THAT WOULD BE THE SOCIAL STORY WHICH I MENTIONED THE WASHINGTON AUTISM ALLIANCE AND ADVOCACY IS NOT PART OF THE ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE YET THEY WERE KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOCIAL STORY NOW I'M GOING TO PASS IT BACK TO HEATHER WHO'S GOING TO SHARE MORE ABOUT OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY WITHIN THE AVIATION AND BROADER COMMUNITY THANK YOU AND NEXT SLIDE PLEASE THANK YOU CHELSEA IN ADDITION TO OUR EFFORTS WITH THE ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE WITH THE PUBLIC AND INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS TO SHARE OUR STORY AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT MAGAZINE HIGHLIGHTED OUR WORK WITH SUNFLOWER LANYARDS WHICH LED TO MULTIPLE FOLLOW UP CONVERSATIONS WITH THE OTHER AIRPORTS AS CHELSEA MENTIONED WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR COMMUNICATION STRATEGY TO INCLUDE BLOGS HIGHLIGHTING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE ADA AND THE SUNFLOWER LAY IN YOUR PROGRAM AND HAVE PLANS FOR MORE IN 2,021 THIS PAST SUMMER I WAS HONORED

SATELLITE NURSING SUITE AS SHOWN IN THE SLIDE ONE OF THE MORE EXCITING EVENTS WAS OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE ADA ADA MICROSOFT HACKATHON THAT WAS FOCUSED ON REDUCED MOBILITY I WAS INVITED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE JURY PANEL AND WAS ABLE TO MEET OTHER AVIATION AND ACCESSIBILITY IN INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS AS WELL AS HELP SELECT THE WINNERS OF A HACKATHON NEXT SLIDE PLEASE I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED OUR COMMITMENT TO SEA BECOMING THE MOST ACCESSIBLE AIRPORT IN THE US THROUGH THE INITIATIVE HIGHLIGHTED HERE AND IN MORE DETAIL IN THE MEMO LOOKING AHEAD WE ARE EXCITED TO OPEN OUR FIRST SENSORY ROOM PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACCESSIBILITY FOCUS TRAINING FOR BADGE HOLDERS AND CONTINUE TO ENGAGE WITH OUR ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE WE WILL WORK WITH ALL DEPARTMENTS TO EVALUATE OUR FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS IMPROVE COMMUNICATION THROUGH SIGNAGE AND DIGITAL MEDIA EXPAND AND DIVERSIFY THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR PASSENGERS WITH HIDDEN DISABILITIES AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR STAFF AS WE MENTIONED THE OPEN DOORS REPORT IS THE FOUNDATION FOR AN ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAM THAT IS GROWING EACH YEAR AS WE REINFORCE THE REPUTATION OF SEA AS AN ACCESSIBILITY AVIATION LEADER IMPROVING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE FOR PASSENGERS WITH DISABILITIES IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR PROGRESS AND WE NOW WELCOME QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE TOPICS WE'VE DISCUSSED TODAY YOUR MUSIC MISSIONER AFTER MY CLEVERNESS WELL THANK YOU HEATHER AND CHELSEA YOU HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST PRESENTATION TO THE COMMISSION WELCOME WE'RE NOT THAT SCARY AFTER ALL RIGHT SO ANYWAY COMMISSIONERS PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELVES FOR QUESTIONS COMMENTS AND CLERK THESE CO THE ROLL I JUST GOT TO SAY HAVING A WELCOMING PORT THAT INCLUDES ALL CONSIDERATIONS MAKES US ALL PROUD SO PLEASE CALL THE ROLL BEGINNING WITH COMMISSIONER BOWMAN I JUST WANTED TO SAY YEAH CHELSEA I ADD MY COMMENTS YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB WELL DONE I KNOW IT COULD BE A LITER RACKING HEATHER THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IN TAKING THIS ON WHEN YOU STARTED THIS IT WAS NOT YOUR FULL TIME JOB AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MANY OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES AS WELL BUT IT WAS REALLY CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING THAT YOU HAD AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO THIS AND YOU JUST POURED YOUR HEART AND SOLE INTO IT AND ON A PERSONAL LEVEL I REALLY APPRECIATE I HAVE THREE OF MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE ON THE SPECTRUM AS WE SAY AND SO IT MEANS A LOT THAT SEATTLE IS MOVING IN THIS DIRECTION THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK YOU'RE WELCOME A COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER CLOCK IN NOW YOU'RE MUTED HOW ABOUT NOW I CAN HEAR YOU OKAY MY LITTLE MUTE SIGNAL I CAN'T TELL WHAT'S WHAT SOMETIMES I KNOW WE ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS SO I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE IN THE VANGUARD AND THESE EFFORTS IT HAS HONESTLY BEEN SOMETHING THAT HAS A PART OF MY LEARNING PROCESS AS A COMMISSIONER IS ALL THE WAYS IN WHICH WE AS PUBLIC AGENCIES HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE AND WHAT ACCESSIBILITY MEANS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND SO IT'S BEEN A GREAT PART OF MY EDUCATION AND I'M GLAD THAT WE HAVE SUCH EXCELLENT FOLKS LEADING THE MISSION TO MAKE US THE MOST ACCESSIBLE AIRPORT IN THE COUNTRY SO THANK YOU THANK YOU COMMISSIONER COCKINS COMMISSIONER TO YEAH I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR TREMENDOUS WORK ON THIS FRONT I THINK OFTENTIMES WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EQUITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION WE ALWAYS LOOK AT IT THROUGH THE LENS OF RACIAL EQUITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE AND OF COURSE RACIAL EQUITY IS A HUGE PART OF THAT BUT IT ALSO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT INCLUSION AND EQUITY IT ALSO IS CATERING TO COMMUNITIES WITH DISABILITIES AS WELL AND I JUST WANT TO ALSO EMPHASIZE JUST FOR EVERYONE'S EDUCATION NOT THAT ANYONE MADE THIS MISTAKE BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE THE MISTAKE OF CALLING SAYING DISABLED PEOPLE AND THAT IS NOT THE THE RIGHT WAY TO DESCRIBE PEOPLE ARE NOT DISABLED BECAUSE OF WHATEVER CIRCUMSTANCES THEY'RE ON THEY JUST HAVE A DISABILITY AND THE POINT OF EQUITY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE DISABILITIES DO NOT PREVENT THEM FROM THE SAME ACCESS THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS AND SO I REALLY WANT TO COMMEND YOU CHELSEA AND HOW THEY AND OTHERS FOR THIS WORK SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT I THINK THIS IS A HUGE PART OF THE BROADER EFFORT ON THE PORT IT'S EQUITY DIVERSITY INCLUSION INITIATIVES SO THANK YOU YES THANK YOU COMMISSIONER TO COMMISSIONER STEINBI YEAH AGAIN I'D LIKE TO ADD MY THANKS AND APPRECIATION TO CHELSEA AND HEATHER BUT ALSO TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED THEIR EXPERTISE THEIR WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE TO DEVELOPING THESE PLANS AND I THINK IT GOES BACK ALSO TO SYDNEY LAWS IN HER FIERCE ADVOCACY THAT HELPED LAUNCH OF COURSE THE OPEN DOOR STUDY AND PUSHED US HARD AT THE PORT AND TO MY COLLEAGUES AND PREDECESSOR COLLEAGUES WHO INITIATED THIS EFFORT TO REALLY UNDERTAKE A DEMONSTRATIVE CHANGE IN ARE THE DESIGN OF OUR FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS AND WAYFINDING TO BE A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSIBLE IF YOU WILL SENSIBLE AND I THINK THIS IS JUST GREAT WORK AND TO HAVE ACHIEVED A OFF THE CHECKLIST ON THE OPEN DOORS IN JUST THREE YEARS IS PRETTY REMARKABLE TOO I AM RECALLING THAT WE PASSED A MOTION NOW CALLED AN ORDER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO URGING THAT THE AIRPORT ACCELERATE AND PRIORITIZE ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER WORK THAT'S GOING ON AS WE'RE REVAMPING THE AIRPORT FACILITY AS A WHOLE THESE KINDS OF SMALL THINGS MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO HAVE THE FOUR THOUGHT AND FORESIGHT AS WE ARE UPGRADING THE AIRPORT WITH MAJOR MODERNIZATION THIS IS VERY MUCH A CRITICAL PART OF THAT WORK AND I DO HOPE THAT WE HAVE SORT OF DEVELOPED SOME STANDARDIZATION OF SOME OF THE ACCESSIBILITY DESIGN SO THAT IT CAN BE CARRIED FORWARD IN THE DESIGN OF FUTURE FACILITIES LIKE C ONE AND LIKE SIX AND 7 AREA SIX AND 7 THAT WILL BE UNDER IN THE CENTRAL ON THE PUBLIC FACING SIDE THAT WE WILL HAVE AN APPROACH THAT HAS A CONSISTENCY TO IT THAT I THINK ADDS TO THE LEGIBILITY OF SPEAKING PARTICULARLY OF OF WAY FINDING AND ACCESSIBLE APPARATUS THAT GO INTO THAT I DO WANT TO ASK ABOUT HOW DO WE ACTUALLY MEASURE WHAT ARE THE METRICS IF WE ARE ASPIRATIONALLY DETERMINED AS A MAJOR HUB AIRPORT TO BE THE MOST ACCESSIBLE AIRPORT IN THE COUNTRY WHAT ARE THE METRICS THAT GO INTO THAT AND JUST HOW CAN WE EVALUATE OUR ACHIEVEMENT WITH REGARD TO STACK AND OTHER COMPARABLE AIRPORTS IF SOMEBODY COULD ANSWER THAT AND YES ABSOLUTELY THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING DIFFERING ABILITIES AS OPPOSED TO THE COMMON NOMENCLATURE OF DISABILITIES AND IT IS I THINK IT'S STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT EVERY ONE OF US OF POPULATION AT SOME POINT AS YOU GO FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE ARE GOING TO FACE DIFFERING ABILITIES OF SOME SORT SO THERE'S A UNIVERSAL DESIGN ELEMENT TO THIS AS WELL SO THOSE ARE SOME OF MY OPEN THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS WORK AND ITS IMPORTANCE AND CONGRATULATIONS AS WELL BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT SPECIFICALLY HOW WE MEASURE OUR ASPIRATIONAL GOALS DO YOU WANT TO START CHELSEA OR WOULD YOU LIKE HER TO YEAH HEATHER AND I HAVE HAD ONGOING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS AND I THINK THE CHALLENGES I'M NOT AWARE OF A WAY FOR US TO DETERMINE THAT WE ARE INDEED THE NUMBER ONE AIRPORT IN THE US IN REGARDS TO ACCESSIBILITY IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ASPIRE TO ABSOLUTELY AND MOVE TOWARDS THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT AWARDS OUT THERE IN REGARDS TO AIRPORTS FOR ACCESSIBILITY THAT WE CAN AIM FOR I THINK FOR ME IN THE WORK THAT I'M DOING WITHIN CUSTOMER SERVICE I'M LOOKING AT SOME OF THE MORE PROJECT SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON TO TRY AND MEASURE SUCCESS SO FOR EXAMPLE IN REGARDS TO THE SUNFLOWER LANYARD PROGRAM ONE METRIC FOR SUCCESS IS HOW MANY LANYARDS HAVE WE DISTRIBUTED WELL THAT JUST TELLS US ONE THING SO WE'VE DISTRIBUTED OVER 300 LANYARDS THAT DOESN'T REALLY TELL US MUCH RIGHT AND SO SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IN 2,021 IS TO HAVE SOME SORT OF A SURVEY THAT PEOPLE WHO PICK UP THE LANYARD WOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO DO AFTER THE FACT TO BE VIA QR CODE OF SOME KIND SO WE COULD GET CUSTOMER FEEDBACK AND IDEALLY WE COULD SEE THE TRENDS AND THE BENEFITS OF THE SUNFLOWER LANYARD AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD TRACK ONGOING SO I THINK IN SOME REGARDS IT'S GOING TO BE PROJECT SPECIFIC HOW YOU MEASURE SUCCESS FOR THE SUNFLOWER LANYARD IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT THAN THE SOCIAL STORY DIFFERENT THAN THE SENSORY ROOM AND OVERALL I THINK IT'S SOMETHING FOR US TO EXPLORE FURTHER IF YOU HAVE MORE TO ADD ABOUT THAT JUST TO REINFORCE CHELSEA'S STATEMENT OF THE BECOME AWARE OF MORE AWARDS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN OUT THROUGH DIFFERENT CONFERENCES AND THINGS AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE DEFINITELY WANT TO LOOK MORE INTO FOR WHERE WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO FIT WITHIN THOSE CATEGORIES BUT I THINK PUTTING THIS PRESENTATION TOGETHER WAS REALLY MAKING BOTH OF US KIND OF THINK AS WELL ABOUT WHY WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THAT THIS IS NOT A START AND STOP MOTION IT'S NOT A STARTING AND STOPPING EFFORT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE ONGOING AND IF WE'RE TRULY COMMITTED TO THIS WE'RE GOING TO ALWAYS BE PUSHING TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE IN SOME YEARS WILL DO MORE THAN LESS AND THE THING I THINK IN SOME WAYS THE IT'S REALLY ALMOST A REPUTATION AS WELL IF WHETHER WE'RE THE MOST ACCESSIBLE WE SHOULD TALK TO OUTSIDE STAKEHOLDERS AND WORK WITH THEM AND ENGAGE WITH THEM AND SO WE'RE LEARNING FROM THEM AS MUCH AS THEY'RE LEARNING FROM US SUCH AS THE THESE QUARTERLY MEETINGS WE PUT TOGETHER FOR THE SUNFLOWER LANYARD GROUPS OF LESSONS LEARNED FOR SUNFLOWER LANYARDS BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A NEW THING IN THE US AS WE'VE MET WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT WERE STARTING UP WE ASK THEM WHAT THEY'VE DONE AND THEY HAD REACHED OUT TO US ORIGINALLY AND SOMETIMES WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS EXPANDED FROM WHAT WE'VE DONE WE'RE LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BROW OR ELSE IS LEADING THAT EFFORT NOW SO SHE'S GOING TO BORROW THAT BUT REALLY WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER TO ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOKOUT THERE'S ARE SO MANY I THINK THE CONVERSATION IS EXPANDED BECAUSE AS YOU MENTIONED COMMISSIONERS TIME BREAK THAT THIS DOES IMPACT EVERYONE AT SOME POINT AND SO I THINK THERE'S JUST MORE AWARENESS OF IT AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP OUR EYES OPEN REALLY AND TAKE WHATEVER OPPORTUNITIES WE CAN COULD I JUST ADD ANOTHER ADDITIONAL COMMENT HERE I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK REALLY HARD TO GET ATTENTION TO SOME OF THESE THINGS WITHIN THE THIS HIERARCHY AT THE AIRPORT AND NOT TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE BUT LITTLE THINGS CAN MAKE SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE AND I HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE AND CHELSEA TO GO CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR THESE THINGS AND GET THEM PRIORITIZED AND BUDGETED I KNOW THAT THAT'S A CHALLENGE AS WELL AND THAT'S WHY IN PART THAT THE COMMISSION STEPPED UP AND ASKED FOR A HIGHER PRIORITIZATION AND AN ACCELERATED EFFORT HERE AND I THINK THAT THAT MOTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN REFERENCED MORE SPECIFICALLY IN THE MEMO BECAUSE THIS IS A CONTINUATION THAT DIRECTION THAT WAS SOUGHT BY THE COMMISSION AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO THOSE THOSE DIRECTIVES IF YOU WILL I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK AND REVIEW THAT AND SEE WHERE WE ARE WITH REGARD TO THE COMMISSION'S MOTION FROM IT SAYS OCTOBER 22 ND 20 19 I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S REFERENCING THE MOTION OR SOMETHING ELSE NO THAT'S REFERENCING THE LAST PRESENTATION IN 2,019 THERE IS A SEPARATE MOTION THAT I DO REMEMBER AND ADDRESSED I THINK THREE DIFFERENT ITEMS OF WHICH THE COVID BUDGET HAS IMPACTED I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AS WELL BASED ON YOUR INITIAL COMMENT IF I HAVE A MINUTE THAT OF HOW THESE THINGS ARE BEING STANDARDIZED AND THAT WHERE I CAN AS ARCHITECTURE MANAGER CONTROLLING THE ARCHITECTURE STANDARD DESIGN STANDARDS WE ARE UPDATING THOSE STANDARDS TO HAVE SOME OF THESE DIFFERENT BUILT ENVIRONMENT AMENITIES IN THE STANDARDS SO THEY ARE BECOMING MORE CODIFIED WITHIN WHAT WE EXPECT OF COURSE EACH PROJECT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE AVAILABLE SPACE AND SUCH BUT WITH THE ONGOING PROGRAMMATIC EFFORTS OF LOOKING AT THE FUTURE CONCOURSES AND MAIN TERMINAL AND BAGGAGE CLAIM AND SEE ONE SPECIFICALLY IT IS A VERY COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE PORT AND NOT JUST MY TEAM WHICH INCLUDES SIGNAGE ADVOCATING FOR THESE THINGS BUT ALSO OPERATIONS I FEEL THAT WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF ADVOCATING FOR THIS THAT OTHERS ARE ADVOCATING FOR IT AS WELL BECAUSE THEY DO SEE THE ADVANTAGE OF IT AND THEY SEE THE IMPACT ON THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE IT'S IT'S THE TRICKY BALANCE AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK OUR STAFF TO REVIEW AND CIRCULATE THAT MOTION AND IDENTIFY WHERE WE HAVE BEEN RESPONSIVE AND MAYBE WHAT REMAINS THERE WITH REGARD TO THE REST OF THE WORK I HAD AND THEY STILL I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL EVER ACHIEVE 100% COMPLETION OF THE OPEN DOORS RECOMMENDATIONS SOME THINGS MAY HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN BEEN UPDATED AS YOU SAY IT'S A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESS AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE AS WELL I THINK THAT OUR TRAVELERS ARE PROBABLY THE BEST PEOPLE TO AS WELL AS OUR EMPLOYEES TO KNOW HOW WELL WE'RE DOING WITH REGARD TO PERFORMANCE ON ACCESSIBILITY AND SO I EXPECT FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN WE DO SURVEY TRAVELER SURVEYS WE WOULD INCLUDE THAT TOPIC OF INTEREST IN SURVEYS AND YOU PROBABLY HEAR ALSO OR AIRPORT STAFF HERE FROM PEOPLE WHO MAY BE HAVING CHALLENGES AND WE SHOULD TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY SO I'VE TALKED ENOUGH BUT THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR GREAT WORK AND KEEP IT GOING SO I WANT TO GIVE EXECUTIVE METRIC IF HE ONCE A MOMENT BUT I JUST LIKE TO QUICKLY REALLY REINFORCE COMMISSION TO CAMBRIC YOUR LAST POINT WAS THE PLACE WHERE I WAS GOING TO START THE MOST IMPORTANT AWARD YOU CAN GET IS THAT THE FEEDBACK FROM THE TRAVELING PUBLIC EVERY AIRPORT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT HOW WE MAKE IT WORK HERE IS ALL THAT MATTERS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AIRPORT IN THE COUNTRY IS IT'S PROBABLY AN IMPOSSIBLE THING TO MANAGE TO TO MEASURE SO I APPRECIATE YOUR POINT HE'LL SEE THE FINDING A WAY TO GET THAT EVALUATION DONE HERE AND HOW IT CHANGES OVER TIME THAT'S THE METRIC WE REALLY WANT TO WANT TO SEE BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE CREATIVITY OF THAT I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE COMMENT THAT COMMISSIONER SHOW MADE JUST IN TERMS OF THE VERNACULAR THAT YOU'RE USING THE TERM ACCESSIBILITY WHICH IS THE MOST A POSITIVE SIDE OF THIS BUT I THINK THIS PRESENTATION I THINK THIS WHOLE SUBJECT AREA IT REALLY AFFORDS ITSELF TO A TEACHABLE MOMENT AND TO ELEVATE WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE WHY WE'RE DOING IT AND THE WAY IN WHICH YOU THINK ABOUT IT AND I'M NOT SURE WHETHER I SAW AN ARTICLE ON CONNECTIONS ABOUT THIS BUT I WAS EVERY COMMISSION MEANING WE TRY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE NEWS WORTHY THING THAT WAS GOING ON IN OUR DUWAMISH PRESENTATION AND THIS ONE I THINK ARE VERY MUCH IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW ABOUT AND SO I KIND OF URGE YOU TO PUT SOMETHING IN WRITING THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC AND MAYBE TAKE COMMISSIONER CHOSE TEACHABLE MOMENT THERE AND HELP THE REST OF THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT WE DO AND WHY IT IS THAT WE DO IT AND I'M SO PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT DOES THE GOOD WORK YOU DO AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THOUGH THAT THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING WITHOUT IT COMING FROM THE TOP I MEAN EVERYBODY'S GOING TO STRUGGLE FOR BUDGETS EVERYBODY'S GOING TO DO THAT BUT I UNLESS IT WAS EXECUTIVE METRIC AND DIRECTOR LITTLE EFFORTS YOU WOULDN'T BE DOING ANY OF THIS SO I WOULD LIKE WE COULD ALWAYS DO MORE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO LET EXECUTIVE METRIC CLOSE OUT THIS CONVERSATION IF HE'S SO INTERESTED WELL THANKS COMMISSION I JUST HAVE TO SAY IS THAT IT'S REALLY I THINK YOU HIT ON IT FOR BOTH HEATHER AND CHELSEA YOUR WORK CHELSEA IS ADVANCING THIS WORK SO IT'S ALL THAT WORK WE'VE DONE SOME GOOD THINGS AND WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO YOU KNOW I THINK IT GOES BACK TO O SAID EARLIER BY THE COMMISSIONERS IS LIKE WHAT'S THE VALUE TO WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH AND JUST SAYING THAT WE WANT TO BE THE MOST ACCESSIBLE AIRPORT DRIVES US RIGHT YOU'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR IMPROVEMENT NOT TO BE SATISFIED WITH THAT AND THEN THE COOPERATION ON THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND GETTING THAT CONTINUE PROCESS CONTINUOUS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT AND DOING BETTER RIGHT AND NEVER BEING YOU KNOW IT'S WORTH THAT WON'T BE FINISHED AS LONG AS WE KEEP BUILDING THE AIRPORT AND IMPROVING THE AIRPORT AND ALL THAT WE DO WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO SO SO I
