Follow Up Items from October 12 Discussion
Background information on projected vs. actual year-end Levy fund
balance
Background information on G.O. bond refunding savings
Additional information on environmental expenditures
Evaluation of Seaport funding contribution for previously expensed
environmental costs
Areas for discussion:
Five year levy assumption
Real Estate capital plan
Potential additional uses
SR 99 Tunnel contribution
South Park Bridge

Tax Levy Fund Balance  Budget vs. Actual
Actual balance is typically higher due to:
Grant receipts  not budgeted due to uncertainty
Delays in capital spending
Lower G.O. debt service  budget included bonds for rail corridor (2008 &
2009)
Partially off-set in some years by:
Higher environmental costs
Acquisition of the rail corridor with cash (2008 & 2009)
Tax Levy Ending Fund Balance ($ million)

2005    10.3     15.5           5.2

G.O. Bond Refunding
Opportunity to refund $80 million of G.O. bonds
Current estimated Present Value savings is $7 million
Reduces amount of tax levy needed for debt service  about $1.9
million 2011-2015
Annual savings increase over time
Final maturity in 2025

Analysis of Potential Seaport Funding of Previously
Booked Environmental Costs
Seaport booked $24 million of additional environmental liabilities from
2005-2009
$23 million categorized as non-operating expense, related to legacy
costs; $1 million categorized as operating expense
The increase in environmental liabilities is primarily associated with
Terminal 117 sediments
Terminal 91 Clean-up
Lower Duwamish
East Waterway
In addition, the Seaport projects booking additional liabilities of $21
million during 2010-2011 (primarily non-operating)
Total amount from 2005-2011 will be approximately $45 million
Using Seaport funds to cover these expenses would require an
offsetting reduction in planned capital spending
