7.   STAFF BRIEFINGS 
(00:51:00)  Preliminary Briefing on a Proposed Airport Concessions Lease with McDonald's. 
Mark Reis, Airport Managing Director, reported that following further review subsequent to
Commission direction on the status of a lease agreement with McDonald's to operate at the Airport,
staff is prepared to issue a request for expressions of interest to gauge the potential interest of
alternative concessionaires for the space on Concourse B.
Mr. Reis stated the request would stipulate that the concession be a hamburger concept operated
by a local operator or franchisee and would describe the level of investment expected and indicate
expectation of a similar net present value based on a presumed level of enplanements. He said
the request for expressions of interest would be submitted to national and regional brands and that,
based on response, more detailed proposals would be requested. He estimated that staff would
return to the Commission with a proposal toward the end of May. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton's question about the expected $5 million in revenue
representing new revenue or including a siphoning of existing revenue from other concessions, Mr.
Reis stated that staff's assessment is that the majority of sales at McDonald's would be
incremental, new sales, including sales to passengers who are not currently making any purchases
at the Airport. 
Commissioner Tarleton commented on her preference that the lease be competitively bid. 
8.   NEW BUSINESS 
8a.  (01:01:00)  Discussion of a Commission motion regarding future lease opportunities
for airport concessions disadvantaged business enterprises at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport. 
Presentation document(s): Text of motion provided by Mary Gin Kennedy, Commission Services
Director. 
Commissioner Holland commented in favor of the motion, which he said would fairly address all
disadvantaged business enterprises at the Airport and would minimize concessions disruptions at
the Airport. 
Commissioner Albro commented on wording changes to provide for renegotiation of leases before
the end of the year and clarifying the language for leaseholders versus subtenants. He noted his
support of the motion due to its promotion of additional direct leases with small and ACDBE
businesses. 
Commissioner Tarleton announced that the motion would be available for public comment for at least
30 days prior to final action and that a copy of the motion would be posted on the Port's website. 
Commissioner Tarleton noted that the next public meeting of the Port of Seattle Commission would
be held at 1 p.m. on April 24, 2012, at the Georgetown Campus of South Seattle Community College.
