small business kiosk program.  He also introduced Gloria Rosario, Owner, Ideal Commercial
Uniforms, who was recognized for her company's high product quality and excellent customer

Commission. 
3b.  2015 Aviation Business Plan Discussion. 
Presentation document(s) provided by Mark Reis, Managing Director, Aviation: 
Commission agenda memorandum dated June 9, 2014. 
Presentation slides. 
Aviation Division Business Plan dated June 17, 2014. 
Presenter(s): Mr. Reis and David Soike, Director, Aviation Facilities and Capital Program. 
The Commission received a presentation that included the following relevant information: 
Airline mergers and consolidation are resulting in reduced capacity and corresponding
high load factors. 
Alaska Air Group commands over 50 percent of the Seattle market and Delta Air Lines is
increasing international and domestic traffic. 
At the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, operations and passengers are expected to
grow over the next five years and then stabilize. 
The signatory lease and operating agreement (SLOA) executed in 2013 introduced
revenue sharing with the airlines, reducing nonaeronautical net operating income.
Making up for this loss is a focus of the 2015 Aviation business plan. 
Major and new initiatives for 2015 include rebuilding Runway 16C/34C, completion of the
sustainable airport master plan, and implementing new programs under the updated Part
150 noise mitigation plan. Noise mitigation might include a ground run-up enclosure, or
"hush house."
The noise insulation program will be expanded to include multi-family residences.
Expansion of noise insulation will involve pilot projects in 2015.  Approximately 9,600
homes have been insulated over a 30-year period. Provision of replacement triple-pane
windows for those that fail over time is not funded by the Federal Aviation Administration
and would involve significant costs. 
Environmental work in support of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan is not expected to
be complete until 2016. 
Ensuring emergency back-up power for all parts of the Airport terminal is an initiative for
2015. Previously, generators were acquired to ensure sufficient power for the Airport to
be used as a shelter if necessary, but not all facilities to move aircraft would be
accommodated by those generators. Additional generators were leased later to keep
the majority of the Airport operational, but those leases have expired.  No majority-ininterest
vote of the airlines has yet been taken on permanent emergency back-up power. 
Leasing of off-Airport Aviation Division property, most of which was acquired for noise
mitigation, is among the priorities for 2015.  This real estate might be used for air cargo
or other aeronautical purposes. 

Minutes of July 29, 2014, proposed for approval on September 11, 2014.

Other initiatives of the Aviation Division for 2015 include the following: 
Design and construction of a new International Arrivals Facility. 
Completion of the NorthSTAR project.
Creation of a master record as-built drawing system. 
Near-term  updates  to  the  South  Satellite  concourse  interior  that  might  cost 
$2 million - $3 million.   More extensive updates for the South Satellite would
probably not be proposed until 2020 or so. 
Completion of the Airport Retail and Dining Plan, with lease transitions commencing
in 2015 and continuing for approximately five years. 
Improvement of the recently implemented Parking Revenue Control System. 
Completion of a request for proposals for taxi and limousine contracts. 
Expansion of the continuous process improvement program. 
Negotiation for extension of the Port's interlocal agreement with the City of SeaTac,
which expires in 2016. 
In 2015, there will be work to increase the value of Airport contracts with small
businesses.  The Office of Social Responsibility will participate in this effort.  Mr. Reis
clarified an error in the business plan in its current form, in which the strategy was
presented to aim for 25 percent of eligible dollars spent.  The correct percentage for
2015 is 40 percent. This correction does not affect the workplan.
[Clerk's Note: See page 5 of the business plan attached to this presentation.] 
Mr. Reis acknowledged the need for development of career ladders as part of a workforce
development strategy for Airport workers in the 2015 business plan.
