"Property"); and authorizing the Airport Operations

WHEREAS, the Port of Seattle is a duly authorized and acting port district of the
State of Washington and operator of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport ("Airport");
and 
WHEREAS, the Port of Seattle owns certain personal property, described on
attached Exhibit A (the "Property"), which can be generally characterized as passenger
security checkpoint equipment; and 
WHEREAS, the Port purchased the Property in May 2002 to meet the needs of the
expanded passenger security checkpoints at the Airport; and 
WHEREAS, the original combined purchase price for all the equipment was
$694,555, but after depreciation over a seven-year period, the current book value of the
Property is approximately $100,000; and 
WHEREAS, at the time of the Port's purchase of the Property, the operation of the
checkpoints was the responsibility of air carriers, subsequent to the Port's purchase of the

Property, the Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") assumed responsibility for
operating the checkpoints as well as providing and maintaining all checkpoint equipment;
and 
WHEREAS, TSA recently notified the Port that under TSA's new contract for
maintenance of security checkpoint equipment, TSA's subcontractor will only perform
maintenance on equipment owned by TSA; and 
WHEREAS, if the equipment is not transferred to TSA, the Port will incur the
additional expense of engaging a company to maintain the Property separate from TSA-
owned security checkpoint equipment and will bear the cost of removing and disposing
of the equipment when it becomes obsolete; and 
WHEREAS, in 2009, TSA plans to replace all security checkpoint equipment
under its national Checkpoint Evolution program; and
WHEREAS, under RCW 53.08.090, a port district may sell and convey any of its

lease or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal,  to the state or any
municipality or any political subdivision thereof, or the federal government, on such
terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon by the proper authorities of the
state and/or the subdivisions concerned"; and 



2

WHEREAS, under RCW 39.33.020, the intergovernmental disposition of surplus
property that has an estimated value of more than fifty thousand dollars requires a public
hearing; and

to speak at said public hearing with regard to the proposed property transfer; and 
WHEREAS, the members of the Port of Seattle Commission have discussed and
considered the proposed property transfer in light of all comments by members of the
public at the public hearing; and 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Port Commission of the Port of
Seattle that:
