In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Creighton, Holland, Tarleton (5) 
6.  DIVISION, CORPORATE AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
a.  (00:02:56) Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to: 1)
proceed with the Federal Inspection Service (FIS) Mid-Term Improvements Phase 1
project (CIP C-#800426) for planning and pre-design work in the amount of $475,000 for
this project; and 2) execute a contract for design work related to the FIS Mid-Term
Phase 1 Improvement project for an estimated cost of $3,500,000. No funding is
associated with this element of the request. The total estimated project cost for this
entire project is $31,700,000. 
Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated January 18, 2011, from David
Soike, Director, Aviation Facilities and Capital Program; Wayne Grotheer, Director, Aviation Project
Management Group; Michael Ehl, Director, Airport Operations; and Elizabeth Leavitt, Director,
Aviation Planning and Environmental Services. 
Presenters: Nick Harrison, Senior Manager, Airport Operations, and Sean Anderson, Aviation
Capital Project Manager 
Mr. Harrison explained that the request is for $475,000 for planning work to determine how
capacity demands at the Federal Inspection Services (FIS) facility in the South Satellite Terminal,
are met. He explained that all arriving international passengers must pass through the FIS
(immigration and customs). International traffic has grown steadily with a sixty percent increase in
ten years to 2008, and an increase in international travel is anticipated again in 2011.
The FIS facility is over-capacity. It was originally built to accommodate two or three wide-bodied
aircraft, but now six or seven wide-bodied aircraft arrive during the hour-long peak period. T he
lack of capacity causes two problems: 1) the wait time for passengers clearing through FIS is long,
so passengers are held on-board aircraft and outbound flights are delayed, which increases
airlines' costs and makes the Airport a less competitive gateway; and 2) delayed processing times
cause connecting passengers to miss their domestic flights. 
Mr. Harrison reported that Port of Seattle staff had consulted with the airlines and come up with
four possible solutions: 1) create slot control to restrict the number of aircraft arriving in the
terminal during any given time; 2) expand the existing South Satellite Terminal to make a larger

facility; 3) build an entirely new FIS facility large enough to accommodate a larger number of widebodied
aircraft; and 4) make improvements within the current FIS facility. The airlines prefer to
proceed with the fourth option. 
Mr. Anderson said that there is no request for funding at this time, but once the FIS improvement
project is ready for design, Port staff will seek funding and authorization for the project. The
planning effort is expected to take approximately three to five months to complete. 
Commissioner Albro commented that the Airport needs to grow its FIS capacity, and he applauds
this request. 
Commissioner Creighton stated that the current condition of the FIS facility does not meet our
current needs and will not meet our future needs. He inquired whether it makes sense to continue
with a mid-term project or should the Port complete a larger FIS facility. 
Mr. Harrison answered that the planning done as this part of the project will evaluate capacity
versus traffic growth and determine whether it is worth making the investment now in light of the
need for a replacement FIS facility.

Second  Creighton 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Creighton, Holland, Tarleton (5) 
b.  (00:13:13) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to: 1) move forward with
completing design of the Concourse D Common Use Expansion project at Seattle-
Tacoma International Airport as outlined in this memorandum; 2) advertise and execute
a major construction contract; 3) execute contracts to purchase seating and passenger
processing equipment; 4) execute and/or amend software maintenance contracts for
the Concourse D Common Use Expansion project; and 5) utilize Port Crews for
abatement and other work. The total amount of this request is $4,250,000. The total
projected program cost is also $4,250,000. This request seeks a single Commission
authorization to move forward with design, advertisement and execution of a major
construction contract.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 2011 
P. 5 
Mr. Ehl explained that Port staff would like to convert Concourse D, where twelve gates for Alaska
Airlines have been located since 1992, to a common use facility. The airlines have agreed to this
project and to a suite of other projects supporting facility modifications. This request is one of
several requests that will be brought to the Commission over the next months as part of the Airline
Realignment Program. He explained that because of the recent airline consolidations, such as
Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Midwest Airlines, and Republic Airlines 
becoming Republic Airlines, the merger of United Airlines and Continental Airlines, and the
recently proposed consolidation of Southwest Airlines and Air Tran Airlines, Port staff proposed a
one-time airline reallocation project to Alaska Air Group, which is included in the Airline Signatory
Lease and Operation Agreement (SLOA). On December 9, 2010, the airlines accepted the
proposal, and Port staff provided the airlines with the 120-day advance notice required by the
SLOA. Airlines such as Air Tran, Alaska, American, Frontier, Hawaiian, jetBlue, United and Virgin
American will be directly impacted by the terminal realignment. The proposed Airline Realignment
Program is anticipated to be completed in 2015. Mr. Ehl presented a map demonstrating the
realignment. 
Mr. Anderson explained that four projects are a part of the Airline Realignment Program: 
Concourse D Common Use Expansion 
Replacement of 15 passenger loading bridges at Concourse D and Concourse B in the North
Satellite 
Baggage modifications 
Reallocation capital improvements 
Commissioner Bryant inquired about the need to make changes to the baggage system. Mr.
Anderson explained that the existing Continental system is the only stand-alone system in the
airport and connects to small, outdated baggage screening devices. Connecting the existing
system to a C1 system will allow for greater capacity for baggage screening and sorting.
American Airlines would use the new baggage makeup device. 
Commissioner Creighton asked for clarification on the long-term aviation forecasts and industry
changes that indicate why this project is necessary. Mr. Ehl explained that the Alaska Air Group,
the Airport's dominant carrier with about 50 percent of the Seattle market, intends to remain an
independent company and has decided to concentrate its operations on the North Satellite and
Concourse C after being on Concourse D since 1992. The majority of other potential airline
consolidations have already occurred. The Airport has been planning for over a decade to build
flexible, common use facilities to increase economic viability. Mr. Ehl noted that although the
renovation seems expensive at the moment, it will save airlines money in the future. Mr. Anderson
noted that Port staff are looking at how other Airport projects may relate to realignment, such as
the replacement of the HVAC at the North Satellite. 
Commissioner Tarleton asked about plans to make sure the general traveling public knows where
to go during construction. Mr. Ehl answered that there will be signage at construction areas and
on incoming roads to the Airport and real-time updates available on the website. The Airport is

working toward making the tools available for the passenger to create a personalized,
individualized travel experience using real-time information. 
Commissioner Tarleton also inquired about how the Airline Realignment Program will affect
concession services. She hopes to see a strategic plan addressing this issue. She noted that
members of UNITE HERE are in attendance at the meeting. 
CEO Yoshitani responded that during realignment projects in previous years, accommodations
were made for concession programs. He is confident that th is realignment program will be 
beneficial to concession programs, but the Port should take a look to minimize the impact. 
Commissioner Albro encouraged staff to create granularity of opportunity to have concessions
reflect our community. He indicated his support for common use facilities and asked if their
benefits included improving the user experience, the operational performance of airlines and
Airport capacity. Mr. Ehl responded that common use facilitates all of those objectives. He
explained that Port staff is taking a holistic approach to realignment and wants to integrate
technology and customized personal travel. The Airport's 2011 Business Plan and Initiatives are
designed to make sure capacity and customer service requirements are met. Mr. Anderson noted
that as part of the realignment, some projects, such as passenger loading bridges, will need a
single authorization, as is being requested with Concourse D, to meet the schedule and airline
requirements. 
Commissioner Tarleton commented that she agrees with single authorization so long as it is within
the scope of the authorization, it is reported in the project quarterly status report, and it follows the
notification requirements of Resolution No. 3605. Resolution No. 3605 is being reviewed in 2011
and may be changed.

c.  (00:40:55) Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to amend the Walker Parking
Consultants (Walker) Professional Service Agreement up to $350,000 for design
support during construction and provide notification to the Port of Seattle Commission
in accordance with RCW 53.19.060 that the amended amount exceeds 50% of the
original contract not to exceed the value of $100,000.00. With the execution of this
amendment, the value of the Walker Agreement would be $31,486,610 (corrected value
is $31,468,000) and the completion date would be extended to July 31, 2012. No new
funding is requested to amend this Agreement as funds have been previously
authorized in the Rental Car Facility (RCF) program budget.

Request document: Commission agenda memorandum dated January 14, 2011, from Nora Huey,
Director, Central Procurement Office, and George England, Program Leader, Aviation Capital
Improvement Program. A corrected copy of the memorandum with the correct value of the
Walker Agreement was subsequently substituted on the agenda. 
Presenter: Mr. England 
Mr. England explained that the request is to amend the current Walker contract to provide design
support during the Off-Site Roadway Improvement (ORI) road construction project to complete the
roadway improvements as part of the Rental Car Facility program. A correction was made to the
value of the Walker Agreement stated in the Action Requested section of the memorandum.
Mr. England stated that the correct value is $31,468,610. 
Commissioner Albro asked for the rationale for the budget increase of the contract which was
originally $100,000. Mr. England explained that the project had begun before September 11, 2001.
The original contract had been initiated in 2004 with a maximum value of $15 million, but the five
stops, re-starts and delays caused budget to increase over the years. In response to
Commissioner Albro's question, Mr. England noted that the Commission memorandum incorrectly
states on page 1 that the contract was executed in the fall 2001. 
Commissioner Holland suggested delaying the vote until another meeting, but Mr. England
expressed concern that delaying the vote will impact contractors and submittals for the ORI
construction since authorized funding is almost expended.
Commissioner Tarleton provided some history of contracting for the project and said that she would
like the project to stay on schedule. Since the contract was originally signed, Resolution No. 3181
has been replaced by Resolution No. 3605, and new contracting mechanisms are in place. T his
contract was discussed as part of the original Turner contract. The Walker contract has been
visible. She noted that the ORI project is generating many jobs in King County. 
CEO Yoshitani thanked Commissioner Tarleton for her historical perspective on the Walker
contract and said it straddled an awkward period. He suggested that Port staff prepare a report in
anticipation of any future audits to document the project's history and share with Commissioners.
Commissioner Tarleton recommended including the contracting policies in effect at various times in
the report. Commissioner Bryant also asked to include how the contract would be handled
differently today. He said he resented being asked to vote on an item without being able to delay it
for further consideration because the item was not brought to the Commission earlier.

Elliott Bay Park during construction of its West Thomas Street Overpass Project for an 
estimated ten months beginning in April 2011; and (ii) a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) with the City of Seattle providing for certain improvements to Elliott Bay Park as
consideration for the Port granting the Temporary Construction Easement. The cash
value of the TCE is estimated at approximately $120,000, and the cost of the park
improvements to be provided by the City of Seattle is estimated at $150,000 to
$200,000. 
Request documents: Commission agenda memorandum dated January 19, 2011, from Lindsay
Pulsifer, General Manager, Marine Maintenance, and Gary Lee, Marine Facilities Maintenance
Manager. Also provided were a copy of the Memorandum of Agreement between the City of
Seattle and the Port of Seattle for the West Thomas Street Overpass Project, the Temporary
Construction Easement and a drawing of proposed easement route through Elliott Bay Park. 
Presenters: Ms. Pulsifer and Mr. Lee 
Ms. Pulsifer explained that in 2004 the City of Seattle determined it wanted to provide better
pedestrian access to Myrtle Edwards Park. This request is to grant the City of Seattle an easement
providing access for trucks and construction equipment through Elliott Bay Park to come from the
north end of the grain terminal. The City of Seattle will provide all of the repairs and will add to the
amenities in the park at the end of the project. 
Commissioner Tarleton expressed concern about the Centennial bike rally being held on June 5,
2011, and wanted to be assured that it will be safe for the public during the construction. Ms.
Pulsifer explained there will be traffic control and accommodation in the park during the bike rally,
and there is a new area provided for bike traffic.

January 25 RM Min

PORT COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING 
TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 2011 
P. 9 
Presenter: Ms. Morrison 
Ms. Morrison explained that General Obligation bonds are secured by and paid from the Port of
Seattle's tax levy.The bonds are being sold primarily to achieve debt service savings on some
existing bonds and, secondarily, to provide bridge funding for a portion of the cost of the Eastside
Rail Corridor. The bonds will be issued in two series. One series is the refunding series, which will
refund bonds that were originally issued in 2000 and help achieve debt service savings. There are
currently $80.8 million of these bonds outstanding. These are private activity bonds and are
exempt from federal income tax but subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. The second series is
the taxable series, which will assist in the funding of the Eastside Rail Corridor. There are 
approximately $30 million of these bonds outstanding. 
Ms. Morrison also explained that the Resolution allows for the designated Port representative (the
Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer) to approve the sale of the bonds within the
parameters set in the Resolution. The para meters include the maximum size of $117 million, a
minimum savings of 3.75% for the refunding series, and a maximum interest rate of 4.5% for the
taxable series. The Resolution also delegates that the designated Port representative be allowed
to approve agreements and pay the cost of issuance as necessary. The delegation expires in six
months. 
The bonds are being sold by the Port of Seattle's finance department. Barclay's Capital and
Seibert Brandford Shank will be co-senior managers, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will be
co-managers, Seattle Northwest Securities is the Port of Seattle's financial advisor, and K&L Gates
is in the Port's bond counsel. 
Dick Schober from Seattle Northwest Securities explained that the market has been in decline with
rates increasing because of an oversupply of issuances and a lack of demand. Although there has 
been significant outflow from the municipal bond market, there has been an increased stability in
the market and a decrease in volume recently. The Port's high credit rating should attract market
interest.
Commissioner Albro asked how the Port will know when the appropriate time to sell the bonds at
the target rates will be. Ms. Morrison said that the finance team and Seattle Northwest Securities
will monitor the market daily and won't go to market unless the rates are right. 
Commissioner Creighton said he supported the Resolution. Commissioner Bryant asked how
much the Port had achieved in debt service savings as a result of the two refundings that the
Commission approved in 2010 plus this refunding. Ms. Morrison said the last year's refunding of
Airport bonds saved the airlines $15 million. Refunding of Passenger Facility Charge bonds saved
$14.7 million for airline passengers. Refunding these General Obligation bonds is expected to
save $3 million.

needed for Port District purposes approximately 3,350 square feet, 25 feet in width, of
Port-owned real property formally owned by BNSF, commonly known as Woodinville
Subdivision, located in Bellevue, Washington, and authorizing the Chief Executive
Officer to execute all documents necessary to transfer title of the property to plaintiffs
Ao-Zhou via quitclaim deed as part of settlement of an adverse possession lawsuit filed
on December 11, 2009. 
Request documents: Commission agenda memorandum dated January 18, 2011, from Craig
Watson, General Counsel. Also provided was a copy of Resolution No. 3649 and three exhibits:
Exhibit A (legal description of BNSF/Port Property); Exhibit B (legal description of Adverse
Possession Property); and Exhibit C (Map of Adverse Possession Property). 
Presenter: Mr. Watson 
Mr. Watson explained that the ownership of this small parcel is in dispute, and litigation has been
underway for some time. An agreement has been reached with the plaintiffs to settle the matter by
executing a quitclaim deed. The request is to pass Resolution No. 3649 on First Reading in order
to surplus the property and complete settlement of the litigation. 
Commissioner Albro asked if there are other similar encroachments along the Corridor. Mr.
Watson said there are some encroachments, but none of this significance. The noted that the
Corridor is not a uniform 100-feet wide along the Corridor but narrows at points and has pinch
points.
Commissioner Creighton asked if this would be the first of many adverse possession lawsuits. Mr.
Watson stated that this is the only lawsuit that was filed before the Port purchased the Corridor.
The Port has surveyed the Corridor, and there are no major encroachments along it. 
Commissioner Albro stated he does not believe it is in the public's best interest to allow an
individual to gain adverse possession of the property. The Eastside Rail Corridor ("Corridor") is
more valuable intact. He said he would vote against the Resolution although he recognized that
litigating the claim involves more legal costs and the Port may not prevail. He asked if BNSF has
an obligation to assist the Port in defending the lawsuit. Mr. Watson responded that BNSF was
litigating the matter before the sale of the Corridor and had provided extensive documentation.
The Port had also consulted with BNSF on the lawsuit to determine if BNSF had information the
Port could use in its defense. 
Mr. Watson said in his legal opinion the best course of action for the Port is to settle the lawsuit.

Commissioner Tarleton inquired about who will run the procurement process that will be used to
solicit bids. Ms. Woodard explained that the Central Procurement Office will be solicit the bids, and
Brian Knight will be Project Manager, but she would manage the contracts. Commissioner
Tarleton stated that she wants to make sure that there is a strong competitive process when the

Ms. Zahn summarized the status of construction work on the RCF project and stated that
construction is over 80% complete with 250 workers on site daily and 1.1 million work hours have
been expended. It has been 963 days since the contract was awarded. The offsite roadway
improvement (OSI) project is one-third complete. There is a typographical error on page 2 of
Attachment A. There are 15, not 240, workers, on site at the OSI project. Port staff is ready to
issue the Notice to Proceed on the Bus Maintenance Facility (BMF). Contaminated and unsuitable
soil has been found at the OSI site, and Port staff will return soon to the Commission for approval
of a Change Order to cover the additional costs to remove and dispose of the soil.
The contractor working on the RCF is 22 days behind schedule and is slowly getting back on
schedule. The OSI project is right on schedule and may be completed early.

8.  NEW BUSINESS 
(02:00:35) Public comment was received from the following individuals: 
Stefan Moritz, Strategic Affairs Director of Affairs from Unite Here, wanted to start a dialogue
with the Commission about the lack of job security and protection for Airport food service
employees and to provide personal stories by the hospitality workers.
Peter Diaz, Executive Vice President and Organizing Director for UNITE HERE Local 21,
wanted to make sure the concerns of Duty Free employees were heard and considered. 
Lavonne McGahee, a food services concessions employee at the Airport, has been employed
by HMS Host for almost sixteen years and wants to ensure that her job is secure. 
Julie Williams, a concessions employee at the Airport, has worked at the airport for 23 years
and wants to retire at the Airport. She advised that, despite the impression that food
concessions jobs are high turnover, there are many food service employees who have worked
at the Airport for 20 or 30 years and even some who have worked at the Airport since 1968. 
Lourdes B. Barredo, an HMS Host employee, shared that she has been employed by HMS
Host since 1992 and would like to continue to work at the Airport. 
Justine Iereneo, an HMS Host employee, expressed her concern about her job security and
medical benefits.

smooth transition to new contractors.
