Presentation documents: Commission agenda memorandum dated March 17, 2010 from Stan
Shepherd, Manager, Airport Noise Programs and Diane Summerhays, Director, Community
Development. Also provided were a computer slide presentation and a report on the study. 
Presenters: Mr. Shepherd and Victoria Evans, Special Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer 
Mr. Shepherd commented on the two primary forms of community participation in the project  the
Highline Forum, which is the primary outlet used by elected officials actively working with the Port
within the Part 150 study and the public workshops to be held, designed to have active
engagement with members of the community for participation in solutions. He also clarified the
purpose of the program's technical review committee, which is comprised of local land use
planners; pilots; members of the FAA; Washington Department of Transportation; Boeing Field;
and Puget Sound Regional Council. He noted that the committee is not formed to provide
recommendations to the study and is not a voting committee; rather it is a committee that provides
valuable input to the data which is processed through the study.

TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 2010                                 P. 3 
A brief overview of the recently held public workshop was provided, noting that the approach of the
workshop was specifically designed to allow all attendees to provide input as much as possible. All
comments provided were transcribed and included in the resulting report. 
Staff noted that at both the February 23 Commission Roundtable with public officials, as well as at
the February 24 public workshop, many excellent suggestions were provided and would be
included as a part of the Part 150 Study.
Mr. Shepherd noted that staff will be actively contacting various City Councils to communicate
availability to present information to them regarding the noise issues. He also stated that contact
has been made with cities that have representation on the technical review committee, asking them
if they would like to have another person on the committee who may have a better understanding
of long-range planning for their communities. 
Next steps were noted, including reviewing all of the input received at all related meetings to
ensure it is all included in the Part 150 Study.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Albro about the possibility of seeing modeling of
noise impacts if the Airport was utilized at a level of 45 million passengers, Mr. Shepherd stated
that the number of passengers does not equate to noise; rather the aircraft equates to noise and to
attempt to model at that level could not be done with accuracy. 
Mr. Shepherd noted that the next public workshop would be held on June 9, 2010 at the
Cedarhurst Elementary School at 6:30. 
Public comment regarding Item 7a was received from the following individuals: 
Stuart Jenner, who noted he had attended the recent public workshop and found it to be
helpful. He suggested that a representative of the City of Seattle be included on the
technical review committee. 
Dan Caldwell, who expressed his appreciation of the Commission holding this meeting in
the community. He also noted his concern about the Part 150 Study, and his belief that
the FAA should be paying for the study. He stated his support of the building of a noisereducing
wall and a hush house at the Airport. 
Arlene Brown, who requested that an email system be set up which would allow the public
to choose specific topics they are interested in receiving information about. She also
spoke in favor of looking at single event noise as well as noise at ground level. 
Jim Jellimore, who stated his belief that there should be more than 1 commercial airport in
the greater Puget Sound area  at least two more in the immediate future, which would
help alleviate so much noise in such a small area. He also commented that as part of the
noise programs, he feels more could be done in noise-impacted areas, such as providing
central air conditioning for the homes directly under the flight paths.

Jon Cortese, Pastor, Burien Free Methodist Church. Mr. Cortese commented on the need
for churches in the area to receive assistance from noise reduction programs. He also
noted the increase of noise during the summer months. 
Clarke Brant, Normandy Park Councilmember. Mr. Brant stated the need for the Airport to
operate with respect to members of the surrounding communities, and stated his support
of the building of a noise-reducing wall; the planting of more shrubs; the building of a hush
house, and the reduction of night-time operations. 
Stuart Creighton, Regional Commission on Airport Affairs. Mr. Creighton addressed his
disapproval of the Part 150 process, stating that public comment will only be addressed at
the end of the process, and that the Port Commission is actually not 'hands-on' in the
process, but the Port staff is. 
Chas Talbot, who commented on the importance of churches, schools, medical facilities
and nursing homes being factored into the study. 
Shawn McEvoy, Normandy Park Councilmember, who noted that issues needing to be
addressed include finding new ways to fund mitigation for noise-impacted areas, seriously
plan for a hush house, and increase curfews on both air passenger and air cargo flights. 
Earnest Thompson, who noted his belief that many of the problems related to airports can
be addressed by improving the rail systems, and referenced systems in Europe and Asia.
He also noted general health impacts to people in areas where airports exist. 
Anne Phillips, who raised the question of whether or not there is more noise when aircraft
take off to the north than to the south. 
Commissioner Bryant again recognized elected officials present at the meeting, including
Representative Tina Orwall; Normandy Park Councilmember Clarke Brant; Normandy Park
Councilmember Shawn McEvoy; Burien Deputy Mayor Rose Clark; Senator Karen Kaiser; and
Normandy Park Mayor George Hadley.

Presenters: Mr. Tanaka and Ms. Styrk 
Staff addressed questions which were raised at the First Reading of the Resolution as follows: 
Regarding whether or not there are any specific companies or industries that might be
targeted as a result of the reorganization of the FTZ, Ms. Styrk noted that those might
include importers which are paying duty at this time and frequently filing their customs
entries. She noted that the Seaport Division would also work closely with the Real Estate
Division to try to promote through their portfolio, any benefit that they can offer. 
Regarding the consideration of how this limited resource will be allocated, Ms. Styrk stated
that she would like to see as much as half of the acreage available for the FTZ, but it is
likely to be somewhere in the future that the demand for acreage is greater than the
supply. 
Regarding using the FTZ as a tool for marketing other properties, Ms. Styrk stated that the
Seaport Division would do so, and would look to coordinate those efforts and opportunities
with the Real Estate Division. 
Regarding whether or not there are policy issues around how the FTZ will be used, Ms.
Styrk noted that it is really just a process change and an efficiency change, and at this
stage, there really are no policy questions. 
Commissioner Albro noted that he would like to see restrictions to the acreage to be made
available in order that we don't lose the opportunity in the future to reevaluate and market more
strategically the use of the acreage.

Mr. Jennings noted that today's request was a follow-up to the briefing which was provided at the
February 2, 2010 Commission meeting. He noted Delta's commitment to an Asian gateway from
Seattle, and that this project is critical to them and their operation. He commented on a letter of
support of the project which was received from Delta. 
Ms. Sheerer provided a brief update on the Delta asbestos remediation project, noting that is
currently out for bid and that bids are due on April 6. Regarding Delta's tenant project, she stated
that final construction documents are being developed, incorporating some changes that the Port
had requested.
Addressing questions asked at the February 2 briefing, Mr. Jennings noted that the impact of the
project to Cost Per Enplanement (CPE) has been calculated at 2 cents, and clarified that the
majority of this project is within the Plan of Finance and the Airport's budget plan.
Commissioner Albro raised the question of what the risk might be if this project was not done now,
noting concern that the final construction amount will not be known until the project is further along. 
It was clarified by staff that the Airlines are supportive of moving forward with the project, and that
this is a Port-tenant relationship issue and that Delta is very committed to the project.
