RE: City of SeaTac I Port of Seattle w Interlocal Agreement

Dear Commissioners,

As councilmembers-elect of the SeaTac City Council, we respectfully request that you
refrain from approving the currently proposed extension of the City of SeaTac/Pcirt of
Seattle lnterlocal Agreement (ILA). We believe it violates the cooperative relationship
and objectives of trust and good faith called for in the ILA itself, to approve an
agreement against the wishes of a majority of City Council members, who will hold
office over the next four years. (See ILA: EXHIBIT C: lNTERAGENCY COOPERATION
& DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS, sections 1.2 and 9.1)

Since the existing agreement does not expire until mid February 2016. we see no
positive reason for entering an agreement with an outgoing City Council, without the -
opportunity for the incoming City Council to review it and consider its ramifications.
Especially a mere few days ahead of the transition of power and via special meetings
called by both parties. It has the appearance of impropriety.

In the interest of maintaining a good relationship with the incoming City Council, please
do not approve the agreement at this time.

Sincerely,
Rick F,0
