a.   Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to approve and execute lease assignment
documents relating to the Terminal 86 Grain Terminal, including the assignment of the
current Lease and Construction Agreement, as amended, and the assignment of a
related Improvement Agreement between the Port of Seattle and Louis Dreyfus
Corporation. Both Agreements would be assigned to Louis Dreyfus Commodities LLC.

Mr. Pattison commented on a restructuring of Louis Dreyfus Corporation and the creation of a new
holding company, Louis Dreyfus Commodities LLC. He stated that the request is to allow two
current Agreement, between the Port and Louis Dreyfus Corporation to be assigned to Louis
Dreyfus Commodities Seattle Export Elevator LLC, and guaranteed by Louis Dreyfus Commodities
LLC. He noted that based on representation of the new corporate structure provided to the Port by
Louis Dreyfus, staff does not believe there will be any impact on their credit profile with them or any
risk to the Port of Seattle, but is more administrative in nature.
Commissioner Albro stressed the need to be sure there are significant assets within the Louis
Dreyfus group should there be any need in the future for recovery.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2010                              P. 3 
Presenters: Mr. Merritt; Ms. Poor; Ron Paananen, Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall
Replacement Program Manager, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT); and
Bob Powers, Deputy Director, Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT). 
As background, Mr. Merritt mentioned the following priorities of the program: 
Providing capacity to move freight traffic efficiently in the region 
Granting easy access to our cargo, commercial fishing and cruise facilities, and Sea-Tac
Airport 
Minimizing construction disruption 
He noted that the briefing would provide an update on the program status, and that since it is
related to the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS), presenters would be
seeking input from the Commission in order to set the stage to return to the Commission with
further comments. 
Ms. Poor clarified that comments to the SDEIS must be received and submitted by December 13.
She also briefly commented on the Port's integral involvement in the viaduct decision-making
process since the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake. She provided brief a recap of recent Port
participation in the process.
Related to the SDEIS, Ms Poor noted that the Port's focus will include the areas of impact to Port
properties and tenants; construction; and freight mobility and rail operations. 
Mr. Paananen and Mr. Powers continued the presentation, noting the following program updates:
Pier 48 building demolition is complete, and area is being used as a light staging area 
South Spokane Street Viaduct is currently under construction and on schedule 
Mercer East construction is underway. 
Mercer West work is in process, with construction of the entire Mercer corridor project
currently estimated to cost $100.3 million, and does not include two lanes going uphill on
Mercer Place. He stated that further analysis will be completed of this area, and there will
be further discussion of that with the Commission before April 30, 2011. 
Survey conducted with residents of a variety of areas to find out how much was known
about the Viaduct/Tunnel project. 
East Marginal Way grade separation project is well under way and going very well. 
Mr. Paananen mentioned an issue which continues to come up related to relocation of the
bike/pedestrian path near Alaskan Way and the entrance to Terminal 46, noting that the agencies
are continuing to work together to assure it is as safe as possible for all users. 
Responding to a question from Commissioner Tarleton as to whether or not the Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) being commented on as part of this presentation, Mr. Powers confirmed
that it will not include information related to the Seawall-related construction, design, and impacts,
but will be a separate process related to that construction contract.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2010                              P. 4 
Mr. Paananen commented on the analysis of tolling which was conducted and stated that during
the next several years, WSDOT and SDOT will work together to refine and optimize toll scenarios.
He noted that travel times with the new tunnel are expected to remain about the same as they
would with the existing viaduct, but that if tolling is used, that time could be increased slightly. 
Mr. Paananen spoke briefly about the construction of the bored tunnel and anticipated related
impacts to the area as well as potential effects on freight during construction. 
Mr. Paananen then commented on economic benefits of the project, noting the importance of
keeping the Viaduct open during construction to keep people and good moving as well as the
importance of the creation of jobs related to the project. 
Mr. Paananen noted again that the period for comment on the SDEIS will end on December 13,
2010, and that there would be public open houses on November 16, 17 and 18, and addresses for
providing comment were provided. 
Commissioner Bryant raised the topic of possible cost overruns of the project, and how the designbuild
format being used affects that. Mr. Paananen stated that the Department of Transportation
has used the design-build format on a number of projects, the biggest of which was the Tacoma
Narrows Bridge. He noted that the experience with design-build has been that although it is not
always the least expensive way to deliver a project, there is greater price certainty when the
contract is awarded, and it also has definite schedule advantages. He also noted that as for cost
growth, it has generally been around 3%, and that he believes the amount planned as a
contingency should be sufficient. 
6.   DIVISION, CORPORATE AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
a.  (01:18:20) Request that the Port of Seattle Commission either: (A) Exercise its authority
under RCW 53.19.020(5) and (1) determine that a competitive solicitation process is not
appropriate or cost effective with the nonprofit organization Port Jobs; and (2) authorize
the3 Chief Executive Officer to enter into a three-year contract with Port Jobs from
January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2013, with an option to renew for two one-year
options at the discretion of the Port to perform job training, placement programs, preapprenticeship
training and educational programs for a total cost with both options
exercised for an estimated total cost of $4,045,953.20; 
OR 
(B) Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute a three year contract with a qualified
nonprofit organization following a competitive procurement process through a Request for
Proposal with an option to renew for two one-year option years at the discretion of the Port
to perform workforce development, including job training, pre-apprenticeship training and
educational programs associated with Port of Seattle tenants and customers and the Port's
economic development mission for an estimated total cost of $4,045,953.20. This option
would require authorization for the continuation of the current Port Jobs contract on a
month-to-month basis, until a new contract is executed.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2010                              P. 5 

Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated October 27, 2010 and exhibit from
Ralph Graves, Managing Director, Capital Development Division and Luis Navarro, Director, Office
of Social Responsibility. 
Presenters: Mr. Graves and Mr. Navarro 
Mr. Navarro provided background information on the Port's workforce development strategy, which
is currently performed on behalf of the Port by the non-profit organization, Port Jobs, under two
separate contracts which are due to end at the end of December, 2010. He briefly reviewed
contract details, including in-kind contributions which are a component of the contracts. He also
commented on a new program to be included, which will offer assistance to drayage truck drivers
who may need support in seeking alternative employment as a result of the Port's new clean air
standards.
One change to the new proposed contracts noted by Mr. Navarro is the direct payment from Port
funds of the equivalent amount of the .20 per labor hour previously funded through major
construction contracts for pre-apprenticeship programs.
Mr. Navarro then reviewed the differences in the two options being proposed to the Commission at
this time, as covered in the agenda item memo provided.
CEO Yoshitani noted that his recommendation, being made verbally, is for approval of Option A,
although staff is prepared to go with either option. 
Motion for Item 6a, Option A  Holland 
Second - Tarleton 
Discussion followed with Commissioner Tarleton commenting on the extensive amount of work that
has been done over the past several years related to the appropriate structure of Port Jobs, and
noting the importance of jobs which are being created.
Commissioner Creighton commented on the critical function of Port Jobs for the community, and
although he can understand both options being presented, he leans toward supporting Option B. 
Commissioner Albro commented that there may be a marginal benefit to going through an RFP
process for this contract, but that process would be disruptive to services which are currently being
provided at a time when there is such focus on jobs being provided to the community. 
Responding to Commissioner Albro's question related to the expected increase to the contract over
the next several years, Mr. Navarro stated that the main contributors to the increases are the new
program for truck driver assistance as well as the .20 per labor hour payment.

Commissioner Bryant stated that one of the metrics on whether or not this contract should be
renewed in the future will be whether or not Port Jobs has developed a program, or made progress
toward one, with the maritime community as it has at the Airport. 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Holland, Tarleton (4) 
Opposed: Creighton (1) 
b.  (01:45:54) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute an Agree d Order with
the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) for the completion of remediation
investigation actions at Terminal 115 North for an estimated cost of $1,000,000. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated October 25, 2010 and computer
slide presentation from Kathy Bahnick, Seaport Environmental Programs Manager and Brick
Spangler, Stormwater/Remediation Specialist. Also provided was a copy of the agreed order. 
Presenters: Stephanie Jones Stebbins, Senior Manager, Seaport Environmental Programs and
Ms. Bahnick 
Ms. Jones Stebbins provided brief background information on the project, noting that the site is
located on the Lower Duwamish Waterway, and as part of the DOE's source control efforts, they
are asking various parties to enter into agreed orders for the cleaning up of certain properties along
the Duwamish River. She stated that the Port had received a notice from DOE in January, 2009,
and that as the owner; the Port agreed that they are legally liable party, but there was not enough
information provided to suggest any risk to human health. At that time, the Port suggested having
an independent investigation conducted to provide further information, which was authorized by the
Commission and completed.
Ms. Jones Stebbins stated that negotiations have taken place regarding the scope of work to be
completed, and that staff is now prepared to enter into the agree order with DOE. 
Responding to a question from Commissioner Albro related to interim remedial action which may
be required and the amount in the budget for such work, staff stated that this is not a part of the
$1,000,000 being discussed today. Ms. Jones Stebbins clarified that should any interim remedial
action be necessary, staff would return to the Commission for approval of that. She also noted that
staff is requesting grant money, but it the result of that request is currently unknown. 
Commissioner Bryant noted that in the absence of any money from the state to help with the site
cleanup, it will be necessary to use tax levy funds to do so.

Mr. Harrison noted that this request is for design services at the west end of the south satellite at
the Airport, the area which is used for all of Delta Airlines' flights as well as international carriers.
He stated that the work is necessary due to the aging of the facility as well as an increase in
business there. 
Ms. Zachrisson then spoke about how this project will better allow expectations of travelers to be
met, by increasing the capability to provide food and retail spaces. This will in turn create business
opportunities as well as revenue for the Port.

Presenter: Mr. Griffin 
Mr. Griffin commented on the proposed property exchange with the City of Des Moines, noting that
it continues collaboration with the City over the past five years on planning work aimed at readying
the Des Moines Creek Business Park site for redevelopment.
He reviewed details of the property site, as well as terms of the property exchange, noting that the
exchange is based on an appraised value of $6 per square foot. He also clarified that the $3.2
million amount of this request does not reflect a $743,000 credit from the City, as it only deals with
the acquisition of streets. He stated that closing is expected within 30 days of the Port's execution
of the second addendum, and he then anticipates negotiating a new development agreement with
the City to address other issues at the site. He said the second development agreement is
expected to be finalized with the City at some point next year, and would return at that time for
Commission approval.

Mr. McLaughlin commented briefly on the Cruise MOU, noting that the agreement provides a forum
for voluntary actions aimed at improving the treatment of wastewater discharges from cruise ships
operating in Washington waters. He stated that the intent of the MOU was to develop waste
management practices to preserve a clean and healthy environment and to demonstrate the
industry's commitment to be a steward of the environment. The MOU has been amended four
times since it was established, but that the MOU does not currently define a formal process for
making amendments. It was decided by the parties to the MOU that a more defined process for
making such amendments is needed.

Ms. Jones Stebbins then reviewed the two options currently being considered, as included within
the memo, for a future amendment process, noting that both options include a public hearing and
define criteria for amendments, as well as requiring the MOU parties to agree to an amendment,
and stated that this would also assure a more public process.
Ms. Jones Stebbins noted that Port staff recommends having a clear Port process for making
amendments, and that once a public review process has been completed, staff would bring a
recommendation to the Commission for a vote to establish the Port's official position.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Tarleton as to who maintains the database of the
MOU's historical record of amendments proposed; actions taken on those proposals; and data
collected during the public comment period, Mr. Jones Stebbins stated that this is something that
has not been clarified. Commissioner Tarleton noted that this is something that needs to be done
for a public record, especially since this is a voluntary MOU. Ms. Jones Stebbins stated that up to
this point, the information has been available on the Department of Ecology (DOE) website.
Public comment related to Item 7b was then received from the following individuals: 
Bill Morani, Holland America Line. Mr. Morani spoke in favor of amending the process by
which amendments to the cruise ship MOU are made, noting its consistency with the Port's
green principles adopted by the Commission in 2009. 
Fred Felleman, Friends of the Earth. Mr. Felleman commented on the following areas: 
o Terminal 66 electrification possibly in jeopardy due to budgetary constraints 
o Model Toxics Control Acts (MTCA) funds availability for Terminal 115 cleanup 
o Recent spill at Fishermen's Terminal and the Port's capacity to respond to such
events 
o Recent discovery of ammunition found under water at the Terminal 91 site 
o Cruise MOU and the need for a clear amendment process being necessary.
Commented that there are still many unresolved issues. Wants to know more
about how the Port plans to deal with sewage sludge; discharging at the docks;
and labor disputes related to cold-ironing.

Ms. Woodard provided an overview of the 2011 Salary and Benefit Resolution, as well as shared
staff recommendations for moving forward. She noted that changes to the Resolution will be
minimal from last year's, and that benefit changes will impact employees more significantly than
Resolution changes will. All changes will reflect a conservative approach to pay and benefits for
2011.

Ms. Woodard reviewed what is covered by the Salary and Benefit Resolution, and how data is
received and analyzed in order to arrive at projections for the upcoming year for pay and benefits.
Commenting more specifically on benefit changes for the upcoming year, Ms. Woodard noted that
significant changes were considered, including employees paying an increasing share of the cost
of their medical coverage, with an increase of about 80% in 2011.
Final changes recommended to the 2011 Salary and Benefit Resolution include: 
Minor wording changes, to simplify or clarify 
An updated holiday schedule 
Reduction in paid time off (PTO) accumulation limits, reduced by 100 hours 
2% increase to non-represented salary ranges, keeping ranges close to market level 
Commissioner Holland commented on the uniqueness of the Port of Seattle, and in noted that in
order to attract the type of employees needed to remain competitive, it is important to have
generous health care benefits as well as salary increases.
Commissioner Albro agreed with comments made by Commissioner Holland, and also commented
on the importance of managing expenses. He noted his belief that it would make more sense to
adjust pay ranges by 1% rather than the proposed 2%. A separate area commented on by
Commissioner Albro was that of differences between represented and non-represented employees
as related to pay increases.
Commissioner Tarleton commented on differences between the public and the private sector
related to pay increases.
Prior to moving forward with Item 7d, New Business was advanced for public comment from the
following individual: 
8.   NEW BUSINESS 
Deborah Frauste, Friends of Lower Kinnear Park. Ms. Frauste commented on volunteer
work done at Kinnear Park as part of improvements to the Queen Anne area, and raised a
request for the Port to match a $100,000 grant recently received by the City of Seattle.
These funds will move a conceptual plan to construction drawings, which will include a
pedestrian/bicycle trail in the Mercer West Corridor, an area which has both the freight and
neighborhood communities concerned.

computer slide presentation from Dan Thomas, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer and
Michael Tong, Corporate Budget Manager 
Presenters: Various, as noted below: 
Tax Levy Discussion: 
Elizabeth Morrision, Senior Manager, Corporate Finance, opened the presentation, noting that prior
briefings on the subject had been held on both October 12 and October 26, 2010. She commented
that the tax levy scenarios to be provided at this time include some new General Obligation (G.O.)
bond funding. She reviewed assumptions for the current scenarios, which were developed
following previous Commission discussion. 
The current scenarios for use of the tax levy were reviewed as follows: 
1.  Fully fund Real Estate CIP 
2.  Allow the tax levy to increase 1% per year 
a. Beginning in 2011 
b. Beginning in 2012 
3.  Modest levy increase with $10 million CIP deferral 
It was also noted that job and sales tax implications for deferred projects is being evaluated. 
Ms. Morrison responded to Commissioner Albro's question as to possible recovery sources for
expenditures in the current forecast, noting that recovery from other responsible parties is included
in the assumptions; however, anything from grants, litigation or insurance are recovery sources
which are simply too difficult to estimate.
Mark Reis, Managing Director, Aviation Division addressed Commissioner Albro's question related
to noise mitigation in the Highline School district, which is not paid for by Airport Development
Funds, but by tax levy funds. Mr. Reis noted that this is the result of Commission direction, and an
agreement which exists between the FAA, the State, Highline School District, and the Port.
Commissioner Holland then commented on the importance of funding deferred maintenance, a
topic which had previously been discussed. 
Commissioner Bryant stated that he would be concerned about adding any other funding toward
Real Estate until there is more of a long-term plan for Fishermen's Terminal, the Maritime Industrial
Center, and other properties. He noted that with the economy as it is, he would not want to see
taxes raised. 
Commissioner Tarleton commented on the importance of communicating to the public what our
environmental obligations are.

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
