noting comments related to stormwater cleanup as a component of Duwamish River cleanup

PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                   Page 4 of 12 
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 
efforts, opportunity for Port leadership to initiate leading-edge environmental efforts, and the need
for a strategic and collaborative environmental approach.  He presented the following 25-year
goals arising from the roundtable: 
Reduce air emissions by 50 percent at the Seaport with a focus on diesel particulate
reductions; 
Reduce air emissions by 50 percent at the Airport; 
Reduce Port carbon emissions by 50 percent and help lead the industry's greenhouse
gas (GHG) reduction strategies; 
Work with airline partners to reduce aircraft-related GHG emissions at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport by 25 percent below 2005 levels; 
Meet future growth in energy through conservation and renewable sources; 
Restore, create, and enhance 40 acres of habitat; 
Anchor the region's urban industrial land use to prevent sprawl in less-developed areas
of Puget Sound; and 
Create partnerships that lead the industry in stormwater quality improvements and
ensure all stormwater leaving Port-operated facilities meets or exceeds agency
requirements. 
Commissioner Tarleton commented on her July 12, 2011, amendment of the 25-year goal for
moving people to add the word "green" in the goal to "make Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
the West Coast green gateway of choice for international travel." She commented that in light of
the subsequent panel discussion on environmental goals, environmental stewardship would be one
of many reasons for the Airport to be the gateway of choice. Therefore, she proposed amending
the second goal related to moving people to restore it to its original wording. 
Ms. Leavitt commented on goals related to conventional air pollutants and GHG emissions and
stated that no objections to the Aviation-related goals have been expressed by the Airport's
business partners. She explained that the bulk of emissions at the Airport result from sources not
owned by the Airport, including aircraft and ground vehicles coming to and from the Airport. 
Ms. Jones Stebbins reported that the focus of emissions reduction for the Seaport is on diesel
particulate emissions from Port-owned and independent sources, while the focus for reduction of
carbon emissions is on Port-owned sources. 
Commissioner Tarleton remarked on the long-term nature of preliminary environmental goals and
requested that use of 2005 emissions inventories be used as the baseline for emissions reduction
at both the Airport and Seaport. She commented on the potential to adopt Port goals that can
influence and anticipate future federal environmental regulation. 
Commissioner Albro proposed that the Commission set a 2005 benchmark  for emissions
measurement. He suggested incorporating Chief Executive Officer Yoshitani's slogan into a
preamble to the Century Agenda goals by stating that the Port of Seattle will become the "cleanest, 
greenest, most energy-efficient port in North America" by pursuing the various goals.

PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                   Page 5 of 12 
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 
In response to Commissioner Albro, Ms. Leavitt stated that the Port's emissions inventory accounts
for all GHG emissions related to fuel loaded onto aircraft at the Airport, although the Airport did not
take responsibility for emissions above 3,000 feet. She explained that the measurement was
based on fuel loaded at the Airport, not on emissions occurring within a particular air space or
geography or on fuel loaded at layover or destination airports. Ms. Leavitt added that it is unlikely
the Airport can meet its GHG goal without implementation of biofuels. 
At the request of Commissioner Albro, without objection, the goal to "meet future growth in energy
through conservation and renewable sources" was amended to read "meet future growth in energy
usage through conservation and renewable sources." 
In response to Commissioner Albro, Ms. Jones Stebbins stated that the habitat restoration goal of
40 acres would be in addition to the 21 acres the Port has already restored and the 10 acres the
Port has already enhanced.  She added that this restoration, creation, and enhancement may be
most wisely implemented elsewhere than in the Lower Duwamish watershed, such as Duwamish
River locations farther upstream, within the Ship Canal, or elsewhere in Elliott Bay. 
In response to Commissioner Tarleton, Ms. Jones Stebbins clarified that the 40 additional acres of
habitat work would be related to mitigation in the Green-Duwamish watershed or Elliott Bay.
Commissioner Tarleton requested that the total amount of acreage to be mitigated be described
and that a distinction be made between Airport and Seaport mitigation. 
In response to Commissioner Tarleton, Ms. Jones Stebbins explained that the goal to reduce Port
carbon emissions by 50 percent applies Port-wide to both Seaport and Aviation. Commissioner
Tarleton asked for clarification of the language for the goal to be more explicit. 
Commissioner Creighton commented on the importance of working collaboratively with airlines
when setting the goal to work with airline partners to reduce aircraft-related GHG emissions by 25 
percent below 2005 levels. 
On motion by Commissioner Albro, seconded by Commissioner Creighton, final disposition of item
6a  Approval for Century Agenda Committee preliminary goals arising from the "Achieving our 
Environmental Goals" Roundtable  was postponed to a subsequent Commission meeting, and the
preliminary Century Agenda 25-year goals related to moving people originally approved as agenda
item 6c on July 12, 2011, were further amended to remove the word "green" in the second
preliminary goal so that the preliminary moving-people goals would then read as follows: 
Fully meet the region's air transportation needs for the next 25 years; Make
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport the West Coast "Green Gateway of Choice"
for international travel; Double the number of international flights and
destinations; Double the economic value of cruise traffic to Washington State; Be
a catalyst for establishing this region as a premier destination for tourists from
Asia, Europe, and other targeted international areas. 
In response to Mr. Barnard, Commissioner Albro clarified that approval of 25-year goals related to
the environment would precede a staff proposal of five-year milestones on the same subject.

At the discretion of the Chair, the Commission advanced to consideration of  
7.   STAFF BRIEFINGS 
a.   (00:48:33)  Air Cargo Logistics Development Strategy Briefing. 
Presentation document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated September 2, 2011, and
computer slide presentation provided by Michael Ehl, Airport Operations Director, and Tom Green,
Air Cargo Operations and Development Senior Manager. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Green. 
At the discretion of the Chair, prior to presentation by staff, the Commission entertained public
comment on agenda item 7a as follows  
Public comment was received from the following individuals: 
Mayor Joan McGilton, City of Burien. Mayor McGilton commented on Port use of the
Northeast Redevelopment Area for air cargo and thanked the Port for working
collaboratively with the City of Burien. She stated that the City has a land-use proposal
to relocate automobile dealerships to the former Lora Lake Apartments property and
introduced Councilmember Gordon Shaw to describe the project. 
Councilmember Gordon Shaw, City of Burien. Councilmember Shaw commented on the
City's recognition of the need to accommodate some impacts of the Airport as a regional
facility. He spoke of the Port's commitment to mitigate the Airport's impacts on the City
of Burien and the City's proposal to convert the Lora Lake Apartments site from
residential uses to commercial uses by promoting moving automobile dealerships to the
site. Mr. Shaw explained that the City's proposal would establish an auto mall on the
site that would increase the competitive advantage of automobile dealers and free land
on First Avenue South for retail redevelopment. He said that the Lora Lake Apartments
site was the only viable option for this plan and asked the Port to refrain from developing
the property for air cargo uses. Mr. Shaw commented on the City's interest in working
with the Port to identify other suitable sites for air cargo and Airport-compatible uses. 
Dean Anderson, Burien Toyota. Mr. Anderson commented on the local commercial
benefits of using the Lora Lake Apartments site as an auto mall. 
David McKinney, Toyota Motor Sales USA. Mr. McKinney remarked on Toyota's support
for plans for Burien Toyota to expand on the Lora Lake Apartments site.

PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                   Page 7 of 12 
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Anderson stated that the proximity of the auto mall to
the noise of the Airport would not be a significant concern. 
Following public comment, the Commission received the staff presentation on agenda item 7a as
follows  
Mr. Green outlined a previous briefing on air cargo on February 22, 2011, and listed the preliminary
Century Agenda goals affecting air cargo arising from the May 10, 2011, Century Agenda
roundtable discussion on moving cargo and approved by the Commission on July 12, 2011. He
described the Airport's air cargo initiative as comprised of air service marketing and business
development, on-site Airport capital facilities renovation and development, and development of offsite
Airport logistics support facilities.  He added that outreach to regional stakeholders in
improvement of freight mobility is also an important consideration. 
In response to Commissioner Tarleton, Mr. Green noted that location of cargo logistics
development closer to the Airport benefits overall freight mobility in the region. Commissioner
Albro commented on the importance of breaking ground on extension of SR-509 to developing
additional cargo capacity. 
Mr. Green commented that marketing and business development to increase air cargo would focus
on development of additional international routes focused on Asia, Europe, and the Middle East,
and would promote both freighter main-deck service and belly-cargo service. He stated that
enhancement of existing service would focus on developing new destinations and increasing
frequency of service. 
Mr. Green presented site plans showing the location of existing air cargo facilities at the Airport and
mentioned projects that would enhance on-site Airport cargo facilities, including expansion of
hardstands and cargo transfer buildings. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Green explained that Cargo Area 5 is not currently
active, but is being developed at Building 18 on the site plan, the former United States Postal
Service facility. 
Regarding off-site Airport logistics development, Mr. Green described the gateway logistics center
concept focused on properties north of the airfield in the cities of Burien and SeaTac that would
promote linkage to the Airport, universal branding, and common design and property management.
He commented on the value of a logistics center as a consolidated, if not contiguous, development
that would become part of the Airport's market branding and promote business efficiencies. He
added that the economic development generated by successfully implementing a logistics center
would stimulate continued demand for such a center. 
Mr. Green presented employment projections indicating  growth in the transportation and
warehousing sector, which he stated demonstrates a favorable climate for pursuing a logistics
center at this time. Commissioner Tarleton added that although manufacturing growth is projected
to drop nationally, the Manufacturing Industrial Council has projected slight growth during the same
time frame in manufacturing for the Puget Sound region.



PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                   Page 8 of 12 
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 
Mr. Green noted that economic benefit associated with cargo logistics is geographically broader
than that associated with alternate commercial use development. 
Mr. Green outlined three Port-owned properties north of the Airport suitable for cargo development,
including Northeast Redevelopment Area (NERA) 1, also referred to as the Lora Lake property; the
L-Shaped Property, closest to the airfield cargo area, and NERA 3, which has the largest
developable area.  He stated these properties represent approximately 63 acres capable of
supporting over 900,000 square feet of industrial development. 
In response to Commissioner Albro, Mr. Green stated that the site labeled the Doug Fox parcel
close to the airfield cargo area was not included in the presentation because other uses not
associated with air cargo are being considered for the parcel, which has dimensions that are not
ideally suited to the size and configuration of air-cargo-related structures. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Green stated that there is property in the area not
currently owned by the Port that might be appropriate for air cargo uses. 
Mr. Green identified a number of factors to be determined, including the Port's role in developing
an air cargo logistics center, development strategy, marketing approach, branding, jurisdictional
agreements, and identification of development costs.  He noted that environmental review
connected to the properties presented is substantially complete, depending on future specific
proposals. 
Mr. Green outlined next steps proposed in developing an air cargo logistics center, and concluded
that the logistics development strategy supports regional goals related to job creation,
enhancement of the tax base, support of regional manufacturers, facilitation of international
passenger service, and development in the logistics industry. 
Commissioner Albro requested information on a version of the air cargo logistics strategy that
omits use of NERA 1, the Lora Lake Apartments site, and exploration of strategies for managing
revenue from a logistics hub outside the purview of the Aiport Development Fund. 
The Commission returned to consideration of  
6.   DIVISION, CORPORATE, AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
b.   (01:43:05)  Authorization to (1) execute contracts to multiple vendors for the Electrified
Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) vehicle procurement and (2) execute a contract for
EGSE charging units. The maximum value of these contracts over two years could be
$35 million depending upon airline participation. 
Request document(s):  Commission agenda memorandum  dated September 2, 2011, and
computer slide presentation provided by David Soike, Aviation Facilities and Capital Program
Director, and Wayne Grotheer, Aviation Project Management Group Director.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 
Mr. Soike described the cost of rolling stock vehicles and charging stations for electrified ground
support equipment (EGSE) at the Airport, noting available grant funding. He explained that the
charging of each vehicle at charging stations would be identifiable for billing purposes. Mr. Soike
outlined how the airlines work collaboratively through their fuel consortium to ensure the ability of
all the airlines to obtain fuel and equitably share the costs of maintaining the fuel system.  He
indicated the same model would apply to electric charging stations. 
Mr. Grotheer reported on the additional electrical load associated with installation of chargers for
EGSE and described electrical infrastructure enhancements necessary to accommodate the added
electrical load. He commented on research already begun to identify manufacturers and outlined
next steps toward obtaining chargers and vehicles. Mr. Grotheer described the design phase as
including design of a partial C Concourse prototype; design of the rest of C Concourse, D
Concourse, and North Satellite; and design of the rest of the terminal in order to accelerate the
areas used by Alaska Air Group, the project's most supportive customer.  He stated that
construction would be phased similarly. 
Mr. Simonson outlined operating and environmental benefits of the project, including the following: 
Ability to take advantage of wholesale electrical rates; 
Availability of environmental initiative grants; 
Reduction of fuel and fleet maintenance costs estimated at approximately $3 million
annually; 
Potential reduction of petroleum use by 1 million gallons per year; 
Potential reduction of CO2 emissions by 10,000 tons per year; 
Reduction of other air pollutants; 
Protection of air quality; and 
Potential eligibility for emission reduction credits for other Airport projects. 
Mr. Soike commented on the positive consideration for the project by various airlines and
requested Commission approval.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 
Presenter(s): Tina Soike, Airport Operations Senior Manager, and Sean Anderson, Capital Project
Manager. 
Ms. Soike outlined the Airport Realignment Program elements, including seven integrated capital
improvement projects estimated at about $33 million, associated capital projects estimated at
about $70 million, and various airline tenant improvement projects related to relocation of airline
operations estimated at about $20-$25 million in expense costs. 
Ms. Soike explained that industry changes, such as airline mergers, and the limited footprint of the
Airport facility have resulted in the need to relocate airline gates and ticket counters in order to
alleviate congestion and provide efficiencies for the airlines.  She reported that the current
signatory lease and operating agreement (SLOA) includes provisions  for a one-time airline
reallocation and that the airlines were provided a notice of intent regarding the realignment project
on December 9, 2010. Ms. Soike listed the airlines affected by the reallocation. 
Ms. Soike presented a diagram showing the proposed moves and described the logistical
challenges associated with moving airlines into spaces as they are vacated by other airlines. She
explained that gate moves also affect relocation of ramp offices, ticket offices, and baggage
handling systems and offices. 
Mr. Anderson presented a schedule of moves beginning in late 2011 and continuing through late
2013. In response to Commissioner Tarleton, Mr. Anderson stated that a public information
campaign is planned to keep the traveling public informed of changes at the Airport in advance of
and during the relocations. 
Mr. Anderson described specific projects and project amounts already authorized as part of the
realignment and those remaining to be authorized. In response to Commissioner Creighton, Ms.
Soike stated that upgrades to provide for airline common use facilities at the Airport would provide
flexibility for future realignments. 
In response to Commissioner Albro, Ms. Soike stated that international airlines would be
accommodated at the south end of the Airport, depending on the location of a long-term Federal
Inspection Services facility. 
In response to Commissioner Tarleton, Ms. Soike reported that passenger volumes at various
security checkpoints are expected to shift with the realignment, and Mr. Anderson added that staff
is working with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to provide real-time information to
travelers about wait times at various checkpoints. 
c.   (02:10:07)  Capital Improvement Projects for the Second Quarter, 2011. 
Presentation document(s):  Commission agenda memorandum  dated September 2, 2011, 
computer slide presentation, and second quarter report provided by Ralph Graves, Managing
Director of Capital Development. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Graves.



PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                  Page 11 of 12 
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 
Mr. Graves commented on the Airport Realignment project, and noted that streamlining the Port
Commission's delegation of authority to the Chief Executive Officer in Resolution No. 3605, as
amended, promises to simplify authorization of multiple related projects in the context of the overall
project, and provide a broader view of individual components. 
Mr. Graves presented overall statistics on the status of 2011 second quarter capital improvement
projects, noting that the statistics were consistent with past quarters. He commented on work on
the Aviation division's North Expressway Relocation project,Federal Inspection Services booths,
Des Moines Creek Street vacations, Central Preconditioned Air project, and C1 to C88 Baggage
Handling System connections. 
Mr. Graves mentioned work on Seaport's project to repair a tower and spouts at the Terminal 86
grain facility, which he reported is over budget by about $180,000. 
Regarding Corporate division projects, Mr. Graves commented on delays in Information and
Communications Technology projects, including the PeopleSoft Financial System upgrade, the
Port website redesign, and implementation of the Skire  Unifier  construction contract
documentation management system. 
d.  (02:14:34)  Briefing on Port Liability Insurance Renewal for 2011-2012. 
Presentation document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated September 6, 2011, and
computer slide presentation provided by Jeff Hollingsworth, Risk Manager. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Hollingsworth. 
Mr. Hollingsworth reported on the status of the Port's liabilityinsurance coverage, which will be
renewed on October 1, 2011. He outlined the Port's coverage and described the factors affecting
liability and premiums and noted that while Aviation coverage is unique to Airport operations only,
other coverage also extends to certain aspects of Airport operations. 
Mr. Hollingsworth presented a graph of liability insurance premiums since 2000 and noted factors
affecting reductions in insurance costs over time. He commented that the total current liability
premium for the Port's expiring coverage was $690,000 and that the premium for 2011-2012 is 
anticipated to be slightly higher. 
Mr. Hollingsworth commented on liability coverage issues affecting the new policy period, including
purchase of terrorism insurance, potential to increase the Airport limit from $300 million to
$500 million, inclusion of ramp insurance in the Airport's policy, and excess worker compensation,
which the Port has not carried for the past six years due to its cost. 
In response to Commissioner Tarleton, Dan Thomas, Chief Financial Officer, commented that the
Port is self-insured for workers compensation claims, and that the value of the additional insurance
has to be weighed against the cost of long-term premiums.

PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                  Page 12 of 12 
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 
Mr. Hollingsworth commented on the risk factors affecting the excess workers compensation
premium and strategies for encouraging premium reductions. He also presented operational
issues for the Real Estate and Aviation divisions affecting liability insurance premiums. 
Mr. Hollingsworth stated that the renewal estimate for the Port's liability insurance premium is
between $700,000 and $1.05 million. 
8.   NEW BUSINESS 
(02:27:46)  Park and Fly Facilities in the City of SeaTac. 
Mark Reis, Aviation Division Managing Director, presented a preliminary briefing on emerging real
estate issues in the City of SeaTac. Mr. Reis reported that the SeaTac City Council is considering
recommended zoning changes that would change the city's parking code requirements and affect
property adjacent to the Airport. He said one proposal would relax the restrictions on the number
of parking stalls resulting in requiring fewer amenities in exchange for increased parking density.
The other, more sweeping change, would remove many of these requirements and would
encourage building of larger parking structures. 
Mr. Reis indicated the SeaTac City Council might act on one of these proposals early in 2012, and
he explained that a possible outcome could be addition of approximately 7,000 parking stalls in the
area, deflation in the market value of the available parking space, and reduction in annual Airport
parking revenue by between $5 and $11 million. 
Commissioner Albro requested a more detailed briefing on this information, including more
information on the Airport's benefit to the City of SeaTac's budget from Airport-generatedtax
revenue.
