Commissioners requested a comparison with Airport parking activity during the same period, which
was reported to have increased, as has total passenger activity. The Commission's criteria for the
RFP were listed. Commissioners requested clarification about how opportunities for small and
disadvantaged businesses were included in the RFP process, whether the level of security is high
enough given recent market disruption, whether the RFP took into consideration disparate effects
on owner/operators versus management companies, what the trends were for transit ridership, and
whether the RFP included adequate policy flexibility to ensure opportunities for all groups affected
by the RFP.

system is further developed. Commissioner Bowman expressed her interest in promoting use of
regional transit with the South Loop technology as appropriate. Ms. Sadler described the
passenger behavioral improvements associated with knowing more precise arrival times versus
having a generic notice of arrival intervals.

6.   DIVISION, CORPORATE, AND COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS 
6a.  Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to: (1) establish a new economic
development grant fund that advances the Century Agenda, promotes a dramatic
growth agenda, and supports middle class jobs; (2) authorize up to $1,000,000 for 2016
grants to King County cities; and (3) perform necessary project management and
contract administration to support the new grant program. [subsequently amended] 
Request document(s) included a Commission agenda memorandum and presentation slides. 
Presenter(s): Dave McFadden, Managing Director, Economic Development. 
The proposed grant program was described. Commissioners inquired about the kind of community
projects that would be considered applicable. It was reported that economic development criteria
would be applied to all submissions to ensure consistency with the Port's core mission.
Commissioners expressed concern about using tax levy funding to promote development in
affluent communities without demonstrating broader, regional economic benefit. A local funding
match of 50 percent was noted for all proposals that meet the economic development and job
creation tests of the program. It was noted that the program assists the Port's support of economic
development throughout King County. Examples of projects that would likely fall outside the scope
of the program were described. The opportunity for small communities to apply jointly for local
projects was discussed. 
AMENDMENT 
Commissioner Albro offered an amendment to insert a step for Commission concurrence in specific
awards, which was adopted without objection. The request now reads as follows: 
Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to: (1) establish a new economic development
grant fund that advances the Century Agenda, promotes a dramatic growth agenda, and
supports middle class jobs; (2) authorize, upon Commission concurrence of specific
awards, up to $1,000,000 for 2016 grants to King County cities; and (3) perform necessary
project management and contract administration to support the new grant program. [as
amended] 
Mr. McFadden confirmed that specific awards would likely come before the Commission for
concurrence in groups, rather than as a single package for 2016.

In favor: Albro, Bowman, Creighton, Felleman, Gregoire (5)

structure new service activity during off-peak times was discussed. This approach was also

7c.  Strategic Positioning for Growth. 
Presentation document(s) included a Commission agenda memorandum and presentation slides. 
Presenter(s): Dave Caplan, Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives, and Dan Thomas, Chief Financial
Officer. 
The Commission received a presentation on the intended approach to the Port's budget in 2017,
which was described as designed to operationalize the Century Agenda. It was reported that the
budgeting model is a hybrid of incremental budgeting used to establish a baseline for 2017, zerobased
budgeting used to build department budgets in 2017, and zero-sum budgeting used to
reconcile division budget targets with department roll-outs by establishing a budget ceiling. The
intent is to create alignment with the objectives of the Century Agenda. Budget planning phases
were described. Presentations on operational budget objectives not specific to long-range planning
efforts are intended to be provided in July. 
Commissioner Albro noted the need for the Commission to adopt the long-range plan and
requested clarification on the process to ensure alignment between the long-range plan and the
proposed budget. 
Commissioners addressed staff concerns surrounding the shift in the budgeting model. It was
reported that alignment of staff responsibilities to the Century Agenda is the primary purpose of the
new model, rather than drastic cost cutting.
