6.    DIVISION, CORPORATE, AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
6a.  (00:25:23)  Authorization  for  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  to  execute  the  13th
amendment to the lease for Terminal 46 with Total Terminals, Inc., substantially as
drafted in the attached amendment. 
Request document(s): Commi ssion agenda memorandum dated December 6, 2012, and draft
lease amendment provided by Michael Burke, Director, Seaport Leasing and Asset Management. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Burke and Linda Styrk, Managing Director, Seaport Division. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Total Terminals Inc. (TTI) is a joint venture subsidy with Korean-based Hanjin Shipping
and Terminal Investment Limited, associated with Mediterranean Shipping Company; 
The lease amendment would retain TTI for 10 years, through 2025, and advance the
Century Agenda 25-year goals of creating 100,000 new jobs, increasing cargo to 3.5
million TEUs (twenty-foot-equivalent units), and doubling the value of Port of Seattle
exports; 
The lease would be executed substantially as drafted, possibly with minor edits, and is
not expected to be presented to the Commission again before execution unless there is
a substantive change to the lease terms; 
The lease amendment represents a major change to the land rent structure and property
rate structure of terminal leases and makes the lease consistent with leases at similar
West Coast ports, which are characterized by a volume-based structure with minimum
annual guarantees; 
There are two tiers in the volume-based rate in which the first tier is equivalent to the
minimum annual guarantee and the second tier is fairly low, incentivizing increased
business and providing increased Port revenue based on increased cargo volume, which
is absent from the Port's current terminal lease structure and helps to keep the interests
of the terminal operator aligned with the interests of the Port; 
The initial minimum annual guarantee is based on 2100 lifts per acre, adjusting to 2300
lifts per acre in 2016, and begins with a land rent at $105,000 per acre, which is lower

PORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES                            Page 6 of 12 
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2012 
than the current rate, and grows based on the Consumer Price Index with a growth
minimum of two percent and a growth maximum of five percent; and 
Incentives provided include a $4 million fee in consideration of construction impacts at
Terminal 46 due to construction of the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project,
transfer of five Port cranes to TTI consistent with the Port's trend toward eliminating Port
ownership of cranes, and commitment to various capital improvements of $20-35 million. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Burke confirmed that the revised lease terms would
become an option for other terminal operators under the Port's "most-favored-nation" policy, more
closely aligning the operators' interests with the Port's and added that although the rental rate will
drop below the Port's Eagle Rate initially,it soon grows. He noted that other ports benefit from
higher rates reflective of strong markets such as in California where there is a large local market
and excellent national rail connections. 
Commissioner Bryant commented on the advantages of the lease amendment for family wage jobs
and the Port's business interestsand noted that in the future he would like to see the Port of
Seattle work toward better integration with the Port of Tacoma. 
Commissioner Holland spoke in favor of the lease amendment and commented on approximately
3,200 jobs associated with Terminal 46 and the state tax revenue derived from business at
Terminal 46. He stated he doubted a convention center use in the same location would generate
similar jobs and tax revenue.
Commissioner Creighton commented on the fairness of the lease amendment and the short-term
trade-offs it represents for long-term benefit. 
Commissioner Albro noted the need for the Port'sterminal leases to be reflective of the current
economic situation and commented in support of the lease amendment. 
Commissioner Tarleton commented on the commitment to having container trade in Seattle
represented by the lease amendment and opportunities for future maritime trade and associated jobs. 
Chief  Executive  Officer  Tay  Yoshitani  noted  the  role  of  Governor  Gregoire  in  promoting
Washington's interests with the Port in discussions with Hanjin and acknowledged the work of Bari
Bookout and Linda Nelson in bringing the lease amendment to fruition.

6b.  (00:54:00)  Request the Port of Seattle Commission to approve the Audit Committee
Charter and the Internal Audit Department Charter. 
Request document(s): Commission agenda memorandum dated December 5, 2012, Internal Audit
Department Charter, and Audit Committee Charter, provided by Tom Barnard, Research and
Policy Analyst. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Barnard. 
The Commission received a presentation that focused on the following relevant information: 
Audit Committee activity in 2012 included review of 10 lease and concessions audits,
five comprehensive operational audits, and six limited operational audits; 
Recovery of $1.6 million was recommended as a result of 2012 lease and concessions
audits; 
Two external audits, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Review (CAFR) and State
Auditor's Office accountability audit, were reviewed by the Audit Committee in 2012; 
The entrance conference for an external Enterprise Technology Performance and Risk
Assessment engagement was conducted; 
Peer review of the Internal Audit Department was conducted  and resulted in the
recommendation  to  blend  the  public  sector  and  commercial  standards  of  the
Government Auditing Standards ("yellow book") and International Professional Practices
Workbook ("red book"); 
A step toward compliance with these auditing standards requires Commission approval
of the Internal Audit Department charter; and 
The  Audit  Committee  Charter  has  also  been  updated  and  requires  Commission
approval. 
Commissioner Albro commented on the importance of ensuring that the organization is following
policies established by regulatory authorities and the Commission. He stressed the importance of
the independence of the Internal Audit Department and explained this was the point of changes to
the Commission Bylaws approved in Resolution No. 3672 on December 4, 2012, that made
approval of the Internal Audit Department Charter a Commission responsibility. He also noted the
clarification  in  the  Internal  Audit Department  Charter  that  the  Director  of  the  Internal  Audit
Department serves at the pleasure of the Commission. 
In response to Commissioner Creighton, Mr. Barnard noted that the effect of conducting frequent
lease and concession audits is increased compliance and a shift in perception of audits as a tool to
evaluate operations. 
Motion for approval of item 6b  Bryant 
Second  Holland 
Motion carried by the following vote: 
In Favor: Albro, Bryant, Creighton, Holland, Tarleton (5)
